Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Peter Delpeut, filmmaker and former deputy-director of the Nederlands Filmmuseum (now known as Eye Film Instituut Nederland) argues that in every profession there are topics that remain unspoken. They are not willingly kept secret: we are simply unable to speak about them. Within the domain of film preservation, the film fragment is one of these unspeakable matters. And yet film fragments, often unidentified or decaying, populate archives in great quantities. Since 1990, a unique case in the archival world, the Filmmuseum has been preserving and proudly presenting such fragments in compilations called 'Bits & Pieces'. The success of this initiative proves that film fragments captivate the beholder: they speak to the audience because of their very incompleteness. It also shows that fragments can be a valuable asset for a film archive and are therefore worthy of preservation. This essay argues that film fragments, like other forms of ruins, are invaluable sources of constructive philosophical reflection: beautiful and yet incomplete, hard to define, they invite archivists and audiences to reflect critically upon the history of cinema, its canons, its selections and exclusions. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There is no official definition of recession, but there is general recognition that the term refers to a period of decline in economic activity. Very short periods of decline are not considered recessions. Most commentators and analysts use, as a practical definition of recession, two consecutive quarters of decline in a country s real (inflation adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP) the value of all goods and services a country produces. Although this definition is a useful rule of thumb, it has drawbacks. A focus on GDP alone is narrow, and it is often better to consider a wider set of measures of economic activity to determine whether a country is indeed suffering a recession. Using other indicators can also provide a timelier gauge of the state of the economy. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Distance learning has become an acceptable mode of education and training but studying through distance learning has been eyed with suspicion over the years. The mode of learning of the distance learner has raised preconceived ideas from society in general that the distance learner is a non-performer in industry. There are more negative comments than positive ones as far as ODL is concerned. The university must take the responsibility of sensitising, educating and encouraging learners in developing a positive attitude towards distance education because the society has its own perceptions about distance learners. The distance learner has shown maturity and distance learning has afforded those who were not able to get university education when they were still young and were not lucky to have parent who could pay for them. Not everyone who completes secondary education is able to get a place at a conventional university some opt not by choice by circumstances. Most women will only first go into marriage before going to university and they will have to obtain degrees through distance learning. 64 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -With the recognition of a 200-nautical-mile jurisdictional zone, or EEZ, for coastal States in the UN Law of the Sea Convention, coastal States have gained the right to establish conservation and management measures regarding highly migratory fish species, such as the Atlantic bluefin tuna, for a far wider area than ever before. Since these highly migratory species, do not remain in one particular jurisdictional area, but exist between the jurisdictional areas of multiple coastal States and the high seas, the need for inter-state cooperation is evident. This cooperation with regard to this tuna species comes in the form of a RFMO, namely ICCAT. However international criticism has grown regarding the unsustainable approach to high seas fisheries management held by ICCAT up to recent years. The decreasing health of the endangered Atlantic bluefin tuna stock has led to a 2010 proposal to include this tuna on Appendix I of the CITES Convention. This thesis will further explore aforementioned conventions, as well as the UN Fish Stocks Agreement, as regulatory mechanisms that (could) provide legal tools to create a more sustainable conservation management for the Atlantic bluefin tuna. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Innovations are crucial for economic growth and therefore have to be stimulated. In today s modern societies patent systems are the most used policy to encourage innovations. A patent application is granted when invention satisfies three criteria: novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability. The probability to fulfil those criteria might depend on various factors. This master thesis uses a new approach and focuses on the ownership of public patent applications. The decision to investigate various ownership models was made in order to understand how to design incentives of public research. The findings give the insight that a substantial part of public patents are not granted due to the coordination failure between certain co-applicants. This could be overcome by introducing a policy which encourages public organisations collaboration with companies. This collaboration is beneficial because, according to the findings, it gives more valuable patents and higher grant rates. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Development of one can certainly be the reason of upholding the situation of the other and vis-à-vis. In the arena of water women play a key role of associating the water with the human world. Hence, we need to understand the dynamics of the inner affiliation between women and water. Accordingly, this research examined the gender sensitivity of the National Water Policy Bangladesh, 1998. The underlined causation of the research was to figure out whether the National Water Policy is gender sensitive or not so that, a more gender sensitive Water Policy framework for formulation and implementation could be recommended for future reference which can foster women empowerment in the long run. The research has been done upon the theoretical foundation of liberal feminism using the theories of Strategic Gender Interests by Molyneux and Feminist Environmentalism by Bina Agarwal and the theory of Redistribution and Recognition by Nancy Fraser. The outcome has shown that, in Bangladesh, the framed Water Policy was not generated in gender sensitive manner and there are evident flaws in implementation of the policy. 108 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -African universities have much to learn from world class universities. According to Judge Albie Sachs (Pistorius, 2004), a true Afro-centered universe is not one cut off from Europe or the rest of the world, but one that enriches its own civilization with the best that the rest of the world has to offer . Hyperlinks have facilitated such relationships between universities. Hence, African universities must create links with world class universities. But to what extent are these links created between African and world universities What is the motivation for creating these links and the disciplinary distribution pattern The monograph, 'Webometric Analysis of Links between African and World Universities' examines these. 116 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This dissertation compares the media representations of the European Union (EU) in two of the small member states Ireland and Bulgaria. Ireland is part of the old member states, which joined the EU with the first wave of enlargement in 1973. Bulgaria is among the newest entrants who became part of the EU in 2007, thus completing the last and biggest so far Eastern enlargement of the Union. Given the recent financial, political and democratic deficit crises in the EU, this manuscript provides a valuable insight into the media portrayals of the EU in two very different member states, thus giving an indication about some of the challenges policy makers might experience when attempting to address diverse media markets, editions and audiences. The study is based on a content analysis of newspaper publications shortly after Bulgaria entered the European Union and before the major economic crisis in Europe took place, thus providing a glimpse of routine coverage of the EU. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What implications does a strong language law have for international organizations operating within its domain This question has remained rather untouched in the academic sphere, even though language and its strategic role have widely been accepted as key elements in international operations. This study sets out to investigate the linguistic context of the province of Quebec (Canada), aiming to determine the effects of balancing between the need for a corporate language and the demands of the regulatory context. An existing framework on context is applied to the identified key elements present in Quebec to break down their nature and effects on organizations. The linguistic duality that organizations face becomes apparent: regardless of the increasing need for English as a corporate language, the law, created to protect the French language, has not been adapted to the changing global environment. Consequently, it becomes difficult for international organizations to apply a global language strategy in Quebec. The balancing act can become resource-consuming even to the extent of acting as an entry barrier or driving business elsewhere. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This paper investigates a simultaneous impact of monetary and fiscal policies on economic growth in a single model. The data for 21 OECD countries covering the period 1970-2009 is gathered for our study of policy effect on economic growth. A quadratic specification method is employed by constructing a relationship between economic growth and several policy variables in order to find optimal values for government debt level, tax revenues and interest rate that lead to the highest economic growth, which is a contribution of this paper. Furthermore, a threshold method is exploited to determine the highest growth rate at different tax and interest rates given a particular debt level. Another distinctive feature of this research is uttered in simultaneous application of both a quadratic specification method and a threshold method in the same paper which has never been done before. We employ a state-of-art advanced estimation technique which ensures a robustness of stated conclusions. According to the results, the highest economic growth performance is achieved when total tax revenue reach 23.75% of GDP and when a government debt level does not exceed 41% of GDP. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The study comparatively examines the student protests that took place in Macedonia, Serbia, and Bulgaria in the winter of 1996/1997, with regards to the interplay between liberalism and nationalism. It compares the three similar post-communist countries with non-consolidated democracy through the instances of liberalism and nationalism that could be found in the student protests that happened in a parallel time-period. Specifically, the study tries to find out how liberalism and nationalism coexist in a protest movement, on one side, and in which instances nationalism is present in pro-democratic movements, on the other side. The study shows that in the cases of Macedonia and Serbia the lining of liberalism and nationalism is inverted while liberalism is in the front side in Serbia, nationalism is dominant in Macedonia. Furthermore, it shows that nationalism is present in Macedonia and Serbia, but not in Bulgaria, because Macedonia and Serbia have issues of contested statehood and unresolved inter-ethnic problems, which are absent in Bulgaria. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In my research on the EU policy in the field of road transport of goods I analysed the existing EU legal framework in regard to the rules governing the access to the market and occupation, as well as the social conditions of road transport workers. In doing so, I attempted to answer the question whether the existing degree of harmonisation of this legislation guarantees fair competition between EU road transport undertakings. The EU regulatory framework formally provides the necessary legal arrangements for the creation of a common internal market of road haulage services. Nevertheless, the practical implementation of the road transport acquis communautaire revealed some problems. Although the EU legislation provides the main conditions for operation and competition in the road transport sector, with time it became clear there were certain issues which need to be addressed in order to prevent distortions of competition on the internal market. Furthermore, the lack of uniformity in the enforcement of existing legislation remains an unresolved problem which hinders the creation of a real level-playing field on the EU road haulage market. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Every day a lot of rural people come to urban area for many reasons. Rural people are mostly dependent on urban area because the government always pays a narrow role for rural area. In this situation, the study mainly focused on the real factors of rural-urban migration. The major concentration were identified the characteristics of migrants, the factors of rural-urban migration or causes and consequences of this migration and what can be the possible solution to manage this situation. The present study reveals that the process of migration in Bangladesh is strongly influenced by both the push and the pull factors, of which the principal push factor is the situation of insufficient job prospects in the villages, while the perception of the higher probability of getting employment and earning higher income in the cities is the predominant pull factor. From the analysis it is clear that unless the gap between urban and rural areas in terms of the quality of life and and living conditions can be systematically narrowed down, the commended solution cannot be achieved. The Government will be the main role player to manage this. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The urban space economies of most developing nations are widely dominated by microenterprises whose contribution to national GDP cannot be overemphasized. Notwithstanding this contribution however, one notable institutional constraint they constantly face is the lack of permanent and secured locations for business operation. With limited or no access to personal stalls and markets, most microenterprises resort to the use of communal facilities such as pavements and streets, a situation that usually leads to expropriation by City Authorities. This paper investigates how such insecurity of property rights regarding location of business operation impacts on the profitability of microenterprises. The paper discusses the different forms of property rights security applicable to microenterprises, the contractual arrangements made possible by these forms as well as their effects on microenterprise profitability within the urban space. The outcome and recommendations of this paper are also useful for policy interventions in the microenterprise sector. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -With the incursion of modern information technologies, content has been distributed mainly through digital channels. This has led to the emergence of companies providing specialized information (e.g news, reports, and bulletins) in specific market sectors, these companies are known as content providers. Despite of the increasing concern in the establishment of knowledge economies and while much attention has been given to e-business in the literature, the economic effects due to interactions among content providers, competitive intelligence systems (CIS) and final users have largely been neglected. This gap deserves significant attention to be analyzed from a value perspective. This book analyses how content provider firms and CIS interact in B2B transactions. The authors present a snapshot of the industry, identifying actors, their interactions and implications from the perspective of value creation in order to present a new theoretical framework which is used to analyze the value creation mechanisms of six cases. Finally, the authors envision some possible paths for future development for CIS and content providers. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work examines the possible relation between credit risk and credit ratings, and the timeliness of this relation for the financial services. Investors and regulators use credit ratings as part of their decision making process and it is important to understand to which extend credit ratings reflect actual credit risk. This research focuses on the financial services because of the increasing credit risk over the years 2003 till 2007 and the strong commercial interests of credit rating agencies in this industry. A distorted relation between credit risk and credit ratings is most likely to become apparent in the financial services. Six financial metrics are used as a proxy for credit risk and two variables are used to measure changes in credit ratings. Based on the data and analyses the relation between credit ratings and credit risk is at best weak for the research period. The most significant relations are lagged by three or four years, which means that credit ratings are responding three or four years after changes in credit risk occur. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the regulatory structure of the Nigerian Petroleum Industry and indeed the national environmental law with a view to ascertaining efficacy of the legal regime on decommissioning of disused offshore oil installations. It finds that the existing legal structure is grossly inadequate to serve the needs of a process as complex and environmentally-sensitive as offshore decommissioning. The book thus embarked on a voyage of formulating a befitting legal framework for the decommissioning of Nigeria s offshore oil installations. The starting point is the international regulatory regime. This is because offshore decommissioning is primarily based on the rules of international law. The book thus examines relevant international treaties on the subject. Again, the environmental standard required of nation states is determined by the rules of international environmental law. In order to effectively underscore the significance of the environmental regime, the book contains a detailed explanation of the environmental consequences of offshore decommissioning. 108 pp. Englisch.…
