Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study aimed to explore the possible relations between cultural attitudes, ethnic boundary markers and ethnic threat perception among Dutch native speakers. Analyses showed that the attitudes of Dutch informants towards their own language, norms and values were positive, whereas tradition and frequency of contact were less important to them. The importance of language and norms and values was also reflected in its positive relation with ethnic threat perception. Finally, the analyses showed that in addition to language, norms and values, morally supporting the host country during international events (i.e. sports or political events) is an important condition to the informants as well when considering whether an immigrant should be accepted as an integrated citizen. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Real estate prices affect the wealth and mindset of all sections of society, from multibillionaire's to the unemployed. Residential real estate prices depend on a large number of demand and supply side factors. This book was written after a thorough qualitative analysis of all these factors affecting the residential property market, particularly in Hong Kong. To understand the impact that different demand and supply side variables have on property prices, an extensive Ordinary Least squares (OLS) regression was carried out, and the results are discussed in an uncomplicated manner. The results are not exclusive to Hong Kong, as the findings are suitable to understand real estate in other countries as well. This research has found new factors that were not considered in earlier studies and have a notable impact on property prices. Furthermore, the history and geographic peculiarities of real estate in Hong Kong have been comprehensively explained. While this study engages in many mathematical processes, special efforts have been made to ensure it is an enjoyable read and provides an overall understanding of the residential property market.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -When State welfare proves to be a mere conduit rather than an absolute guarantee for children¿s rights¿ Sweden¿s sound social democratic welfare regime accounts for descent living and rights enjoyed by children. Not discounting the fact that children¿s rights in Sweden score highly to the extent that many rightly contend that Sweden is one of the best places to raise a child, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (2009), UNICEF and Save the Children have continued to urge Sweden to transpose the Convention into Swedish law acknowledging that Sweden adheres to a dualist system. The Government in response has reiterated that she does not see any need at present to transpose the Convention into Swedish law. But why bother with a country having such a strong welfare system But again wait a minute, why would a country be reluctant to consider the gaps in the ¿Transformation¿ process vis-à-vis the benefits of ¿Incorporation ¿ State sovereignty or something else Overall, State welfare is fundamental to championing children¿s rights but does not offer an absolute guarantee. If it did, concern for children¿s rights would be relegated to non-welfare states. Incidentally not!

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Advertising has often been the axis of debates. Opponents associate it with unrestrained materialism and manipulation. These debates alert perception and accommodation to important issues but fail to include those who ultimately serve as the most important arbiter of ethical practices i.e. the consumer. The book is based upon the premise that different people have different levels of approvals or disapprovals towards the ethical issues in advertising subject to their judgments. Hence it provides a new yardstick for the measurement of ethicality in advertising and its effectiveness. The issues covered are misleading aspects of advertising in form of puffery, deception and unfairness, phenomenon of surrogate advertising and regulatory aspects of advertising,etc. An insight has also been provided towards the other ethical issues like vulgarity, subliminal perceptions, stereotypes, etc. The study provides an implication to the advertisers, who are in the business of making profits, and leaving a word of caution for them to re-evaluate their communication strategies to come out with a new equation of advertising maintaining the balance of professionalism and ethics.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study examines the impact of individual characteristics and cultural values on citizenship performance (CP) in the context of a developing country. Previous studies indicate that many studies have been carried out by selecting only two or three cultural variables and the situation in developing countries is often not clear. The study found that gender and education have significant impact on citizenship performance (CP). While collectivism, future orientation, and uncertainty avoidance are found to be positively related to CP, power distance and masculinity values are negatively correlated with CP. It is also evident that the same cultural value orientation can have both positive and negative impacts on CP, depending on the particular aspect of CP. The findings also reveal that developing countries are not totally different from developed countries as far as the impact of cultural values on CP is concerned. The study contributes to the advancement of CP theories of individual differences and cultural values and the knowledge relevant to developing countries. 76 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This paper estimates the economic benefits from reduced asthma problems among pre-school children caused by the Stockholm congestion charging (SCC) scheme. From previous epidemiological studies, it has been found that there is a positive correlation between reduced emissions from car and improvement of asthma prevalence. The paper focuses on densely populated inner-city Stockholm where people, especially children, are supposed to be highly exposed to air-borne pollution. Since traffic emissions has been reduced significantly in inner-city Stockholm as a result of introducing SCC scheme, and nitrogen-dioxide (NO2) is one of the influential determinants of childhood asthma, the economic benefits have been calculated due to reduction in NO2 concentration. In addition, both the direct and indirect approaches are followed to estimate health benefits. Under the direct approach, reduced costs of hospitalization for asthma is calculated, while reduced costs of parent s sick leave for child s asthma is considered under indirect one. Finally, total health gains are figured out from two kinds of benefits. 56 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) is a regional group in South Asia, which comprises the countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The surface area of SAARC member countries is 5.13 million square km. It is the second most populous and most densely populated geographical region in the world. A group of countries facing symmetric shocks are benefited to introduce a common currency. This book develops a five-variable Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) model to test the symmetry of five types of shocks i.e., external global and regional; domestic supply, interest rate and exchange rate shocks. The results show asymmetric correlations among domestic shocks. In addition, lower factor mobility, lower degree of intra-regional trade, and lack of political integration suggest that the SAARC countries are not yet ready to introduce a common currency. 68 pp. Englisch.

It focuses on the evolution of Japanese foreign aid and its policies over time and the motivations that Japan has had in her development assistance. Empirical analysis is performed with a rich database, covering a total of 21 years (1981-2001) and 81 recipients. Because of the length of the data, it has become possible to compare aid allocation behavior in the 1980s and the 1990s and to test whether the end of the cold war affected the aid allocation behavior. Self-interest of donor, humanitarian concern, and the policy performance variables are introduced. The results suggest that Japan takes national-interest, recipient-country-need into consideration and pays attention to the democratic environment of the recipient countries. Japanese aid policies have evolved over time; however, not much changes are evident empirically while comparing the aid allocation behavior between 1980s and 1990s. Asian bias prevails in both of the decades. One important finding is that democratic environment of the developing countries is considered by Japan in her ODA allocation in the post-cold war period. 68 pp. Englisch.
