Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study investigated interview structure as a moderator of the relationship between the physical attractiveness of job applicants and two interview outcomes (suitability ratings and hiring recommendations). Each participant interviewed the same two job applicants. Half of the interviewers performed face-to-face structured interviews and the other half performed face-to-face unstructured interviews. Interview structure was manipulated by randomly providing interviewers with either the Structured Interview Handout (Eight precise questions, job description, scoring criteria with possible answers, benchmark responses and candidate rating scale) or the Unstructured Interview Handout (Six topics to be covered, job description and candidate rating scale). The physical attractiveness of both job applicants was based on perceptions of the interviewers (facial features, body proportions and weight, posture and general appearance). The findings did show an interaction between physical attractiveness and interview structure. The study's contributions and limitations, along with directions for future research, are discussed. 112 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is the outcome of a research study aimed at assessing the path of rural development undertaken by some developing countries. It is an attempt to compare government-initiated Community development projects with those initiated by local people themselves with a view to finding out factors responsible for the difference in their level of success at planning, implementation, utilization and maintenance stages agencies. The study validated some hypotheses revealing that the development of the community was more a function of the self-help efforts of the people than Government. Government's extractive, regulative, distributive, symbolic and responsive capabilities were grossly inadequate to initiate and sustain rural development in the area. The study recommends the bottom-up approach to rural development and calls on government to re-orient its rural development policy especially in the North-West region of Cameroon. It also recommends decentralization and the granting of more autonomy to local communities especially in matters of determining their own priorities, project planning financing, and management of other local resources.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Education is a fundamental human right. Attaining the right to equality of education is not only having equal opportunity to access and complete education, but also having equal opportunities to receive equal quality of education, which ensures opportunities for every pupil to maximize their educational potential. The current education system in Croatia produces barriers in achieving the right to equality education for the Roma children. It is failing to incorporate learning programs on diversity, intercultural values and respect for human rights for all pupils. This system acts to institutionalize widely established discrimination and social exclusion against the Roma in Croatia. In order to combat social exclusion inside and outside the education system, the book advocates for the implementation of equality and inclusive education. This alternate system of education aims to promote programs that encourage intercultural values and incorporate diversity of children's backgrounds in such way that responds to the needs of each child to attain equality of education, including the Roma children. 80 pp. Englisch.…

This work is also helpful in providing directions for industrial policy. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Starting with evidence that United Kingdom Continental Shelf oil and gas companies have benefitted very disproportionately from the recent period of very high oil prices, this research traces the history of this weakness in the UK's petroleum fiscal regime. Evidence is provided that the progressive relaxations in the UK's petroleum fiscal regime in 1983, 1987-88 and 1993 were: largely unnecessary to stimulate the development of new, smaller, 'marginal' fields; misguided in their assumption that such fields were more costly to develop than earlier counterparts or larger contemporary fields; and impotent compared with the effects of oil price movements. The paper concludes with a conceptualisation which illuminates why these failures of policy were not just random: they emerged from the UK's 'non-proprietorial' stance with respect to the country's oil and gas resources, a stance which assumes responsibility for oil company profitability and vainly tries to counter market forces at the expense of government revenues. 84 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -While the Coptic Orthodox Church celebrates a unique historical trajectory, contemporary Copts' conceptualization of religious discourses reflects a transformation impacted by political and economic global forces.

Finally the findings have been related to the existing takeover prediction literature. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Due to uncontrolled farming activities in those countries the entire industry was devastated. The industry has not recovered fully from the earlier onslaught in most South American countries, such as Ecuador. This book , therefore provides an important rationale for cooperation between several interested parties in utilizing the high production capacities of white leg shrimp. The rationale is that an increase in the cooperation level leads to an increase, not only in the stocking densities, but also in several other related factors of white leg shrimp production. Some measures are also proposed to improve the aquaculture area. An empirical investigation of the efficiency of a white leg shrimp farmer was demonstrated.

A high rate of urbanization has been witnessed in the recent past, with urban population exceeding rural population. Consequently, rising spread of slums in the world, more so in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is noted that youth form the largest portion of urban population.Unfortunately, this urbanization lack opportunities for youth. This has catapulted them into desperation and poverty.The author argues that youth can cause and propel development, but are hampered by lack of enhancement of their capabilities and by ineffective engagement.

This is referred to as MYSA Approach (MYSAA). The study follows up MYSAA as used among Mathare slum youth to understand how it is used to improve youth capabilities and to learn from it. It also contributes to development studies as an input in the current debates about youth, their numbers and contribution to development.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In many works on the relationship of the USA and the Middle East is always one of the most debated issues the degree of the U.S. dependency on oil imports from this region and U.S. vulnerability to their possible suspension. Although this is a very serious issue, there are only few studies that put it in the context of other major Western countries. In turn, the USA provide most Gulf states a military protection, through which they tie them tightly to themselves. The goal of my work is to assess a degree of dependency of the United States and Saudi Arabia on the two most strategic commodities - oil and arms. To answer this question, I made a mutual comparison and analysis of data especially U.S. governmental resources which helped me to confirm and refute some general claims. I was able to demonstrate that in many respects the issue of energy and military dependency is a far more complex because it works in both directions. This work thus removes some clichés about the U.S.-Saudi relationship and is useful to all who are interested in their military and energy relations in various perspectives and issues of energy security in general. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Strategic considerations and security concerns continued to influence the study of the nuclearization of South Asia. The Indo-Pak struggle for the deterrent capability has always been in conflict with the norms as well as the writ of the global nonproliferation regime that encompasses several treaties, extensive multilateral and bilateral diplomatic agreements, multilateral organizations and domestic agencies, and the domestic laws of participating countries. The non-proliferation regime lacks the instruments which are universally acceptable. In case of South Asian nuclearization, nuclear acquisitions were somehow dependent on the international non- proliferation regime which has been moderated by the interests of great powers, especially the Cold War blocks and their policies subject to the nonproliferation. Regional conflicts further intervened and proved to be benefiting South Asian nuclear desire. The main objective of this monograph is to highlight the issues that have challenged the writ of global non-proliferation regime. 108 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Moving Through Sound' explores the role of mobile sonic technologies in a user's experience of urban place. It examines how mobile technologies such as the mp3 player are embedded in urban spatial practices, focusing on how listeners use these devices in urban situations to construct their experience of place. A common criticism of mobile technologies in the city maintains that these highly personal devices disconnect the user from the here and now, producing urban spaces absent of social and collective behaviour. This book argues instead that the everyday practice of moving and listening to music is a transformative activity that shapes urban experience and contributes to the identity of urban places. This book considers the future design and application of mobile sonic devices, exploring media art and critical design work as tactical interventions which engage alternative possibilities for social and site-specific listening experiences in urban place. A transdisciplinary text that spans audio culture, media studies, urban studies and art and design, 'Moving Through Sound' is written for legibility across a variety of disciplines. 112 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Within local government circles, the pursuit of competitive advantage has grown in the local economic development approach to shift from past efforts characterized by small scale, stand alone projects, which have limited chance of sustainability to more long range systemic interventions. With a more prominent and cohering role, local governments in the Eastern Cape grapple with how to address the competitive challenges of their economies in different parts of the Province. The research findings reveal that lack of access to roads, land reform and land tenure problems, lack of access to agricultural produce markets and a shortage of skills, are the key competitive challenges facing local economies across the Province. Given the fact that most of the competitive challenges local governments are facing largely fall beyond their control position, the research concludes that local governments are thrown onto themselves''. Alone, local governments will not be able to address the competitive challenges posed by their economies. Central government and other actors should play an intervening role, particularly in the former homeland areas of the Eastern Cape. 72 pp. Englisch. …
