Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -My aim in this work is to demonstrate how stem cell research and therapy may morally harm women. I argue that the harm is located in the potential exploitation of women and the products of their reproductive labour, i.e. human embryos and fetal tissue, through the commodification of women's bodily tissues and reproductive capacities. I propose that the best way to disclose the specific harms to women in the stem cell controversy is to look at the relationship between the stem cell debate and the abortion debate. I argue that there is one tempting way to maintain the parallels which does not foster the proper moral consideration of women in either the abortion debate or the stem cell debate. However, I maintain that if we understand the abortion debate from a feminist perspective, we will be able to see the appropriate relationship between the abortion and stem cell debates.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Postmodernist films, in the social context of post-cold war China in the 1990s, corresponded with Deleuze's micro-politics of aesthetics to the culture of disintegration in these independent cinemas. The deformation of grant narrative has long been thought to play a major role in creating social change in China, in large part because the discourse in everyday life gives individuals opportunities to better understand the problems facing their transformaing society. In this research, drawing on Lou Ye, Wang Chao, Zhang Ming s independent films, which make them well known among the six-generation film makers and the international film festivals, I examine the relationship between politics of time- image in Six-Generation Chinese films and aesthetics of postmodernism in contemporary China. With the analysis of mise-en-scene, I ask two key research questions: How does postmodern culture shape the time-image in Sixth Generation Chinese films and their cinematic memory of social- transformation What are the claims of social and aesthetic post-modernism in the discourse of Sixth Generation Chinese films 72 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Over the past twenty five years, fiscal and monetary authorities around the world have pursued policies roughly consistent with the insights from optimal monetary and fiscal policy. In the area of monetary policy, the modern consensus is to set policy rules so that nominal interest rates and inflation are low. In the area of fiscal policy, statutory corporate income tax rates have decreased sharply in OECD countries on average over time. Typically, theoretical models in the literature usually examine either monetary or fiscal policies in isolation, but not both of them simultaneously. This book presents two alternative dynamic, general equilibrium models where the prescriptions from optimal monetary and fiscal policies are simultaneously examined. These models offer some new insights on the interaction of such policies, especially in terms of their effects on household's welfare. A third chapter examines optimal fiscal policy in the context of preference reversals. This book should be especially useful for policymakers in the area of macroeconomics and researchers working in the field. 100 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Determination of risk capital is a subject of active interest to researchers, regulators of financial institutes and commercial vendors of financial products and services. Recently, there has been growing concentration among the insurance companies and regulators on the use of tail conditional expectation (TCE) as measure of risk. TCE represents the conditional average amount of loss that can be incurred in a particular period, given that the loss exceeds a specified value. This value is usually based on a quantile of the distribution, the so-called value-at-risk (VaR). The present study examines the TCE in the case of multivariate Pareto distribution. We show that the divided differences, actually important in the numerical analysis and polynomial s approximations, are quite convenient tool on the capital asset allocation problem in the multivariate dependent Pareto context. 88 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is for all working mothers struggling to find a balance between work and family. The enormous increase of women in the labor force, especially mothers with young children has led to significant work-family conflict. This book draws on role theory to explain stress for women as stemming from competing worker and family roles (as stressors). Traditional gender roles cause stressors which differ for men and women. Yet the latter continue to shoulder a disproportionate share of domestic responsibilities as they take on roles as workers. The analysis suggests that the effects of stressors or stress can be reduced by drawing on different forms of social support. Family/ childcare support and social networks are used as examples functional and structural social support respectively. The central goal of this book is to demonstrate the positive effect of social support on reducing stressors, especially for working women. The results show childcare and family support reduced the effects of stressors in both wives and husbands, but more so in wives. All forms reduced effects of stress on health, in husbands more than in wives. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -HIV/AIDS have become major public health problems in most of the resource limited countries. There is growing body of evidence that VCT has been effective for the primary prevention of HIV as well as for treatment, care and support programme. Despite the very high number of estimated people living with HIV/AIDS in resource limited countries, VCT uptake is still a challenge. This book provides an exploration of perceptions of community people, service providers and people living with HIV on VCT in resource limited settings. Although people have knowledge about HIV/AIDS and VCT, but because of their own attitudes, beliefs, misconceptions, stigma and discrimination, confidentiality and required cost, VCT uptake is low. Motivation to service providers and social support to people living with HIV will boost the VCT uptake. Research based IEC activities will increase awareness about HIV/AIDS to reduce the negative attitudes and misconceptions, fear, stigma and discrimination.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -How to create a sustainable relationship with an export agent, when in fact the interests of two parties are so different from each other There is always some sort of a conflict of interests between manufacturers and their agents. For the agent it seems the products are too expensive and hence difficult to sell, whereas the producer feels the agent makes too much profit on the sale of their products. An agent faces a double risk when it enters a relationship with a supplier. If sales fail to materialize in spite of big efforts, the agent might be dropped for non-performance. On the other hand, if sales materialize, again the agent risks being dropped as the supplier gains control of the agent's market. The following book will cover the whole process of negotiation from determining what both parties can expect from each other until signing a contract. Psychological and cultural aspects are also discussed. The following work will help managers, sales directors and lawyers conclude agency deals. It is especially useful for companies that can not afford hiring new people for market expansion or are looking for new ways to increase sales. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book talks about recruitment process and instruments and provides readers of this paper with sufficient information about the subject matter and how recruitment has been differently used in different countries. Based upon the survey conducted I can conclude that the hypothesis that says: 'Recruitment methods and instruments employed by the recruiters in the US and Western Europe are not in widespread use in Croatia, which makes it more difficult to match the right person to the right job' is true, although its validity and credibility is 100% reliable, for there are some contaminating factors, such as impossibility to survey more companies. The book uses very useful information were experts opinions gained from experts in the US, UK, Germany and Croatia prove that for business to succeed and for it to stay in the top takes much more than just a good product/service and appealing marketing promotion. Human potentials play a huge role in one company s success, therefore, more attention to the recruitment and recruitment instruments in hiring process is strongly recommended. 100 pp. Englisch.…
