Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Kuwait is an Islamic democracy where the citizens enjoy a number of freedoms partially. Kuwaiti society is known to be conservative with a large number of liberal Muslim citizens who freely participate in political and social life.… The Kuwaiti Constitution protects all kinds of freedoms and human rights but with specifications. Yet, Kuwaiti citizens lack the awareness of the notion of the term 'freedom of expression'. Surprisingly, the Kuwaiti legal system does not have a definition of freedom of expression clearly specified. Thus, the vagueness of the freedom of expression in Kuwait leads to confusion for the legal authority while dealing with freedom of expression cases. The book examines freedom of expression in Kuwait by analyzing a case of two controversial female Kuwaiti authors have been hassled between the courts' decisions, judges' hesitations and the sharp accusations by the Kuwaiti society. Ms. Laila Alothman and Dr. Alyaa Alshuaib suffered for 7 years because of a group of Islamic Islamist who claimed that some of the authors' publications were controversial. 68 pp. Englisch.

Fast media, like Fast food is a heavily processed product that has become corporatised, centralised, commoditised and simplified. Like modern supermarket food, Fast news an…d media can be said to lack diversity, local taste and historical context, transparency, accountability and authenticity. This book briefly outlines a framework of parallels between Fast food and Fast media in their related vertical integration, production, distribution and consumption. Responses to problems identified with Fast, and successes of Slow movements embracing ethical consumption of our finite and human resources, are considered in looking at the potential for value shifts in consumers' treatment of modern news media towards transforming complacent consumers to responsible citizens. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Though all groups suffer from armed conflict situations, there is sufficient evidence that such conflcits are gendered and women's already marginalised positions worsens when such conflcits do occur.Using Critical Discourse Analysi…s, this book suggests that women in Northern Ghana suffered tremeandously in the 1994 'Guinea fowl' conflcit that occurred in Northern Region of Ghana and this is not different from experiences of women else where. I particularly focused on feminist analysis of the impact of armed conflcits. The invisibility of women in the peace building process was also evident after the cessation of hostilities. The book therefore strongly argues for women's inclusion since their voices need to be heard. This will ensure that women's concerns and experiences are included in the peace building process.Women by the dint of their perculiar experiences will also bring a positive face to conflict resolution by emphasising on basic and family needs. Conflict resolution must therefore be done by depending on the human rights agender for both men and women. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In a monopoly, the equilibrium outcome is the same no matter if firms compete on price or on quantity. However, lots of firms have visible rivals with whom strategic interaction is a fact of life. This is known as imperfect competi…tion. With imperfect competition, competing on price will lead to a different outcome than competing on quantity. Each firm needs to analyze what strategy, price or quantity, brings the highest profit for the firm and the highest surplus for the consumer. In order to compare and contrast price and quantity competition, two classical models of duopoly, the Cournot and the Bertrand model, are introduced. These two models can be analyzed according to different setups. Homogeneous and heterogeneous goods are considered. Also, it is important to distinguish between simultaneous and sequential move of the firms in their strategic interaction. The sequential choosing of actions makes the game dynamic and is known as the Stackelberg game. Furthermore, it is necessary to distinguish between exogenous and endogenous moving time decision of the firms. This analysis should be especially useful to students and researchers in Microeconomics. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Business outsourcing is one of the top business trends today. Organisations concentrate more on core business activities and outsource the non-core activities to the third party service providers. Organisations around the world are… being forced to change the nature of their business to use their resources effectively to sustain the competitive advantage.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study presents a theoretical model that links both squatting and land rental market participation in a two period framework; and further empirically examines the impact of households' demographic, behavioral and material chara…cteristics on squatting and land rental market participation; using sample data from Masindi district, Western Uganda. Off-farm employment is found to be positively correlated with squatting, while renting in land and belonging to a Village Conservation Program are negative correlates. Looking at the broader standpoint of Natural Resource Management Systems, the analysis concludes that encouraging community forest management programs and policing as collective action intervention measures, among others, may help curb squatting. As regards land rental market participation, estimation results revealed a negative relationship between off-farm income and renting in land, implying that labour market constraints may be more important than liquidity constraints in the households' labour allocation decisions in production. 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the age of Globalization, a variety of voices from diasporas has emerged over the last few decades, which has become the cultural border between immigrants' country of origin and country of residence what Homi Bhabha calls the t…hird space. Among these voices there are the so-called ethnic media, i.e. those media made by and/or diffused to immigration-related populations and minorities. The aim of this study is to investigate the evolution path of ethnic media in those countries where the history of immigration is mature enough to configure the society as multicultural. More precisely, it is an attempt to define whether and how an evolution towards the mass media model is possible. To do so, the ethnic radio industry in Paris has been analyzed, taking as examples the experiences of two ethnic radio stations: Beur FM and Aligre FM. The major findings of the study show that the evolution path of ethnic radio or, diversity radio, radios des diversités, in French starts from the very idea of diversity, from the dualism between ethnic and individual diversity. 76 pp. Englisch.

The main aim of the research is to analyze B2C e-commerce performance and determine…its success factors. B2C e-commerce decisions and success depend on country and sector specific situation. However, this dependence is not very high and is mainly based on external factors such as market size, maturity, online shopping prevalence, education level, buying culture, etc. Experts present B2C e-commerce success as a complex process which incorporates a number of important factors, and orientation or improvement of only one activity can't lead online retailer to success. As the most important groups of factors the research distinguished the appropriate initial preparation and value creation for consumers. Despite the limitations, this research can be the background for further exploration of peoples' buying culture and value in online shopping. Also this research can be extended with particular online retailers' sample by performing a case study. 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For any organization, the effective workforce planning is essential to stay competitive and continue to subsist. Workforce planning is an organized process for identifying the number of employees, their mix and the types of skill s…ets required to accomplish an organization's strategic goals and objectives. This book focuses on demand analysis (i.e. forecasting the future workforce demand) in workforce planning. Workforce demand forecasting techniques can be classified into two broad categories viz. qualitative and quantitative. Generally, quantitative techniques are used to forecast workforce size and mix, whereas, qualitative techniques forecast competency requirements. This research explores demand analysis in many folds. First, state-of-the-art of workforce analysis techniques are presented and synthesized into a scenario specific forecasting technique(s) selection tree. Afterwards, the Clonal C-fuzzy Decision Tree (C2FDT), a decision support model, is proposed to forecast future workforce demand. C2FDT inherits its properties from fuzzy c-mean clustering and clonal algorithm. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dry season irrigation farming has become a major livelihood strategy in the Kassena-Nankana district of the Upper East Region of Ghana. This is especially so due to the increasingly erratic and unreliable rainfall pattern in the Sa…vannah ecological zone. However, small scale irrigation schemes which are the main resource supporting this venture are beset with numerous challenges that threaten their very existence.This book is the outcome of a study conducted to unearth the problems of small scale irrigation schemes. The book discusses the management, maintenance and operational practices of the schemes and points out their strengths and areas that need further improvement. Notice is made of areas of support which are beyond the ability of the individual schemes as with de-silting the reservoirs and capacity building. The findings and recommendations of the study should serve as pointer for government and civil society to one of the areas to direct their resources if the interest is to reduce poverty levels and out-migration from the three northern regions of Ghana. The Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA)should find this book useful in their work. 88 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The aim of this book is in the first place to show how to deal with a credit risk, and which tools the Czech banking sector uses to minimize it (based on the adequate literature and own experience). In the second place, the aim is…to find out the reliable logit model estimating the probability of default during the short period based on available data (in the time of economic crisis in the Czech environment). In the first part of the book I am describing the development of Non-performing loans before and during the current financial crisis together with the results of the CNB's stress tests. Next chapter describes the credit risk with the emphasis on the credit monitoring, including the most frequently used monitoring tools. Final part turns us to the most important EWM model. The strictly confidential banking data (credit account turnovers, credit contract), together with data from the financial statements and CRU registry are the inputs to the Model. The Model should work as an early warning signal detection thanks to the estimate of probability of default (more specifically the watch loan classification or worse) during the next three months. 80 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Having started in the end of 2007, the recent financial crisis forced many banks into bankruptcy and triggered multiple bail-outs as well as the set up of guarantee funds and liquidity injections. One was under the impression of wa…tching 'Domino Day' with the two differences being that banks were the falling stars of the show and that the plan according to which the banks were supposed to go down was not known even to the people being part of the game. I shed some light on this plan and examine the amount of contagion risk being present in the American and European banking systems. For this purpose, a sample of 15 US and 15 European banks is examined and several extreme value theory techniques are applied. The empirical evidence indicates that the American banking system is more prone to spillover risk than the European banking system. Despite particular cross-Atlantic differences, systemic risk has increased substantially on both continents over time. The evidence provided is calling for regulators' and bank managers' attention and action. 96 pp. Englisch.

These emotions of the characters require the interpretations and the reactions of the audience, interacting with the characters. Therefore, the British pantomime, Sleeping Beauty, written by Bob Hammond is suitable to be analyzed within the framework of the Cognitive Metaphor Theory (CMT) of George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980). The theory belongs to the fields of cognitive anthropology and cognitive semiotics, proposing that each emotional act or expression of human beings is culture-specific. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Omani colonialism: from the Southern tip of the Somali coast all the way down to Mozambique, Arabs ruled the coastline. This resulted in the Swahili language for example, which is linguistic proof of their former rule. But Western…interpretations of colonialism prove insufficient or inconsiderate of the Omani case. Zanzibar has not yet been discussed as a settler colony; however this paper shows that in fact Zanzibar must be treated as such. I examine the mechanisms behind expansion from the Arabian Gulf down to Zanzibar, contrasting them to European formal expansion into Africa. Also, crucial distinctions are made in regard to race relations, slavery, and metropole-periphery dynamics from the Western variant of settler colonialism. The Zanzibar Revolution of 1964, as the culmination of anti-colonial sentiments, is shown as unique as well; as the posit against the Mau Mau revolt of Kenya illustrates. This paper walks through the neglected but vital aspects in which Omani rule in Zanzibar was not colonialism in the common case, contrary to popular perception. Omani rule was in fact a different sort of colonialism forgotten by both history and theory. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Chinese pizza restaurant market is experiencing a rapid growth and to entrepreneurs it represents exciting business opportunities. In order to explore the opportunities of competing on this market, this thesis applied two exist…ing theories: Porter's Five Forces (PFF, Porter, 1980) and the Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS, Kim and Mauborgne, 2005) to understand the Chinese pizza restaurant market and create an innovative entry strategy for a pizza restaurant---ABFPR. The purpose of the thesis was to see if a combination of PFF and the BOS was useful for providing an analytical framework to create an entry strategy for ABFPR. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were utilized in this study. The findings indicated that PFF can help with providing an analytical framework of the Chinese pizza restaurant market, and the BOS can help creating differentiated value offerings in order to address the competition related challenges revealed during Porter's analysis. The results are relevant to entrepreneurs who are interested in opening restaurants in the Chinese pizza restaurant market and the model can benefit the entrepreneurs to exploit and develop the Chinese pizza restaurant market. 108 pp. Englisch.

The objectives are (1) to focus on Sustainable Development and Green Marketing in the Denim industry, (2) substantiate all of the theory through the…tangible case of Levi's® Eco Jeans and (3) rank the factors that consumers value while making jeans purchase decisions. The survey instruments consist of both a questionnaire and of a qualitative research. The data stemming from the questionnaire are analyzed using factor analysis and the most important criterion for jeans assessment turns out to be related to Practicality. A structural model is developed in order to test whether the Eco- sustainability factor is influenced by some sociographical variables: the findings are thoroughly illustrated. Based on the evidence of the model, on the results obtained through the qualitative and quantitative research and on the observation of the market and of society, recommendations on green strategies for the companies active in the Denim industry, and in particular for Levi Strauss & CO., are provided. Finally, hypotheses for future research are also presented. 80 pp. Englisch.

The HCOP's focuses on the spheres like: employment, education, social integration, the development of adapta…tion's potential of employees and entrepreneurs, the development of human resources in the rural areas and all levels of public administration etc. This paper concerns two selected priorities of the HCOP: labour market open for all and employment and social integration. Very essential during the implementation this kind of Programmes is the condition and the preparation of the economy's elements which will be influenced by Programme. In the case of the HCOP it is labour market and the human capital. Due to that fact I have been investigated the different elements of the Polish labour market like; general theoretical characterization of unemployment in Poland, Pole's attitude to the labour market - mentality of Poland or black economy in Poland. I based my conclusions on the theories: neofunctionalism and liberal interngovernmentalism which in various extend refer to my problem. 72 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This research mainly focuses on the development of ISE Club Information System (ISECIS) based on Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern for ISE Club (ISEC). By applying MVC pattern architecture to ISECIS, it divides the core business…model functionality from the presentation and control logic that uses the functionality. It studies the development of a web-based that gives researcher a better understanding about MVC architecture concept that separate an application into three major components which are; models that includes the main functionality, views that represent the user interface and controllers that control the updates to views. This research is as a solution to the problem occurs in disseminating the information and activities in ISE Club and other problems faced. The purpose of this ISECIS website is to be as an information center that provides the information for ISEC community. 68 pp. Englisch.

This book is based on Black Ho…le attack. This attack node first invades into the multicast forwarding group. It then absorbs all the data packets in the network and drops fully or partially in such a way that the destination node does not get the data packets fully. This will affect the packet delivery ratio (PDR). Our aim is to draw the graph based on the black hole attack position in the network. With respect to the attack positions, black hole node at near receiver area is the least harmful attack. The PDR resulting from this position is always higher than the other two areas. Black hole node at near sender area is the most damaging attack position and incurs the lowest PDR. Finally, the anywhere area offers higher PDR than the near sender but lower than the near receiver. 84 pp. Englisch.

Information is scanty on its drying kinetics with respect to shape and size. Placing the above view forth, this research work on effect of shapes on drying kinetics… of fluidized bed drying of potato was undertaken.The potatoes were peeled and cut in to aspect ratio1:1,1:2 & 1:3 for cuboidal shape & for cylindrical shape, cut to D:L ratio 1:1, 1:2 & 1:3.The effect shape and air drying temperature was studied.It was inferred from the study that drying time was reduced as temperature increased for both the aspect ratio and D:L ratio.Effective moisture diffusivity increased as the aspect ratio and D:L ratio increased.As temperature increased, effective moisture diffusivity also increased. Drying constant value in Exponential and Page model were calculated using Marquardt method of non-linear regression procedure in SY-STAT(12.0)which showed that the drying constant k decreased as aspect ratio and D:L ratio increased. Page model gave better fit than Exponential model. Energy activation from diffusivity data were found close to the energy activation from drying data. 84 pp. Englisch.

It is used to maintain a steady, stable voltage as a power supply for semiconductor devices. DC/DC converters are a necessity for almost all electronic dev…ices and are used to maintain a constant output voltage regardless of minor variations in input voltage or load current. Modeling and simulation is the instrument used to shape the system level analysis and obtain better performance of the converters.A better controller could be obtained if the experimental data is used to determine the load information. The aim of this work is to model the buck converter system of Ericssons BMR450 controller and develop a time-domain based system identification method to identify the capacitive load. The model is implemented in Matlab Simulink and is composed of simple circuits. The system is analyzed through excitation from the command input using binary signal, which include all frequencies of it. The sampled data are analyzed and preprocessed to estimate a mathematical model and validate it. The proposed method is able to identify the load parameter with good accuracy. 80 pp. Englisch.
