This book also explains; how an inter-basin water transfer project changed the water management practices of downstream water users in terms of rights and accessibility, and how they have responded to this change. How did downstream water users ensure that they were included in the project In the analysis, How did an IWRM framework, widely understood as a way to solve complex water allocation challenges, work in the context of the Melamchi project . 76 pp. Englisch. …

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 -This book analyzes the neutrality of the liberal state. This area of enquiry poses a genuine and very important question for political theory: how should the state be constrained in relation to autonomous individuals and their various and conflicting conceptions of good and right. The presumption is that citizens are due certain non- preferential neutral treatment with the state not adopting nor enforcing any controversial values. Nevertheless, a justification and specification of this presumption is hard to find. I argue that even though this problem is genuine, its sollution is necessarily derivative. The answer to the question when does the state need to be neutral, how and why presupposes a theory of rights and liberties. Only once the issue of protected personal space, beliefs and actions is resolved will it be possible to identify those particular areas of life into which the state is morally bound not to interfere (or, in some other cases, is bound to interfere) because of neutrality considerations. 56 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the eyes of most modern legal systems today men and women are equal and are given equal rights. As a result, the contemporary woman has many rights that were denied her ancestors. Though the modern woman has more doors open to her - resulting in more freedom of choice - dilemmas still exist between her 'traditional' and 'modern' roles for which she has to make decisions on a day to day basis. This struggle between what is expected of her traditionally and what she has the possibility and legal rights to do, though present in the lives of all women in some degree or another, is more evident when the woman is put into a setting in which her culture and the law of the land are quite different from one another. Such is the case of women who have moved to Great Britain from Islamic countries, resulting in an encounter with a different culture and the gaining of a new legal status. Supposing new legal rights bring more freedom of choice, what could prevent a migrant woman from exercising a right that is hers The answer to this question lies in culture and cultural identity. 80 pp. Englisch.…

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.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -During the last decade, the price of iron ore has risen from $13 per tonne in 2001 to approximately $140 per tonne in 2010. Using commodity data and theoretical argumentation, this thesis analyses how market power amongst actors in the iron ore market have influenced and been affected by different pricing systems, as well as how the price of iron ore has been affected by the shifts in market power and various pricing systems. We find that the price trend of iron ore relative demand is unique when compared to other metals. Evidence suggest that the greatest single factor behind the recent price development is that the pricing mechanism shifted from oligopoly pricing to a state converging perfect pricing in late 2008, causing oligopolistic forces to lose market power. Further, prices will most likely always be higher under the new pricing system than they would have been in any given theoretical situation under the old pricing system. 64 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.…
