Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The governments of the United Kingdom and Germany have represented diverging positions regarding some issues in foreign and security policy, the former being more ¿Atlanticist¿ and the latter ¿ along with France - closer to the idea of a more integrated European stance on foreign affairs. Our research question points to some of the reasons that may underlie the policies followed by these two important member states of the European Union in respect to the Iraq crisis. Any progress in the development of an effective CFSP is subjected to a change, not necessarily from inter-governmental to a supranational policy, but by the incorporation of diverse reforms as proposed by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation¿s Working Group where a decision-making process based on majority vote rather than unanimity becomes a corner stone. This is reaffirmed by the opinion of author Wolfgang Wagner. The crisis in Iraq can only enhance the necessity of the EU to talk with one voice if its political weight should in the future outbalance its economic power.In the end, the problem of European CFSP is that politics cannot produce effective policies due to a lacking polity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Performance appraisal system (PAS) is important for a component of the Human Resource Management (HRM) discipline that has been used to identify talents within the organization and make effective managerial decisions to boost organizational performance in the last 2 decades. It is a managerial platform that allows senior management to effectively communicate the organization¿s goals to the employees and ensure that those goals or targets are attained within the target time. Also, it helps decision-makers within an organization to make sound judgment in terms of reward, promotion, incentive, demotion, increase salary, and other performance incentive indicators to employees. PAS is a fair system, unlike the traditional way of promoting or rewarding employees based on favoritism, nepotism, family connections, and others. Here, the rewarding employee must have played an important role in attaining the organization¿s specific goals/targets and it will serve as a reminder or motivation to those employees who are not performing well as demanded by their positions of functions within the organization. Furthermore, the PAS offers a complete method of the assessment of employee¿s performance.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The Bantu people started migrating southward from the great Lakes in Central Africa in 900 AD.The Bantu people were comprised of the Nguni speaking people and the Sotho speaking people. When the two groups reached South Africa the Nguni chose the route to Natal which is a small province crammed between the Indian Ocean and the Drakensberg Mountains. The climate in Natal was healthy and disease-free and as a result population explosion happened. The Nguni people did not have the technology to produce enough food for the rapidly increasing population and conflict started as a result of the scarcity of resources. The Sotho group on the other hand had trekked to the interior of South Africa which is larger than Natal but they also ultimately started experiencing the scarcity of resources and started fighting among themselves. That situation led to the Difaqane uprising. After the Difaqane uprising large Chiefdoms of indigenous people emerged. Those Chiefdoms were later on joined by the Boers from the Cape but the opportunity for nation-building was missed because of too much focus on racial identity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -From the beginning of the 21st century, academic field and culture of the humankind have been approaching another great shift. The postmodern trends in philosophy and cultural relativism of the previous century have become things of the past. New, realist philosophies have been explored. These include speculative realism and object-oriented ontology, indicating a rebound from past emphasis on textual interpretation and linguistic theory. Meanwhile, a trend called multinaturalism has been gaining attention in anthropology.

Shimizu is known for his studies on the works of French philosopher Michel Serres, and he has also contributed to original developments on Serres¿s métaphysique souche¿the exploration in metaphysics for a structure equivalent to a stem cell, which precedes the occurrence of various binary oppositions, such as of the subject and the object and of the one and the many.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 156 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book examines the role of the regular wage hike in Japanese companies, especially focusing on the proposals by Nikkeiren (Japan federation of Employers¿ Associations) in 1950s and 1970s. The functions of the regular wage hike are divided into two parts; appraisal wage hike and automatic wage hike. The former is determined by personnel appraisal and the latter is determined by living standard, length of service, age and gender. The essence of the regular wage hike is that it is initiated by the right of management by employers. In other words, it should be employers who decided the wage level. This idea was reflected in the situation where the powers of labor unions were so strong that drastic wage demands damaged employers. In order to regain the initiative to control wage determination, introducing the regular wage hike was a necessity for employers. Even when any kind of new wage system like job-based pay and ability-based pay were introduced in 1950s and 1960s, the regular wage hike still remained the same. Nowadays until 2020s, a lot of new wage systems have been introduced and traditional Japanese employment system is considered to change.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

In general image quality assessment (IQA) is based on the differences or similarity between a degraded image and the original, unmodified image.There are two ways to measure image quality by subjective or objective assessment. Subjective evaluations are expensive and time-consuming. So it is impossible to implement them into automatic real-life systems. So there is need of objective evaluations which are automatic and mathematical defined algorithms. In this book various types of objective measure in respect to image processing have studied. Main purpose is to highlight the application of these measures in the various fields of digital image processing like, image enhancement, image compression, image denoising. Moreover, grouping of quality measures have done depending on image characteristics like pixel, edge, spatial-frequency domain which are based on statistical attributes. Ultimately image quality measures are the best tool for analysis of any image processing algorithms.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.
