These tragic events resulted with lots of human and financial losses. In front of their televisions people have seen results and aspects of a typical crisis event. In general, crisis possesses a bad connotation in people mind. But the concept of crisis is not as categorical as it seems to be.

We used many different points of views considering the fact that this can engender paradoxes. Besides, we emphasized the optimistic side of critical events often unknown. 112 pp. Englisch.…

Boys, for instance, believe that they receive more punishments about discipline problems while girls are always the models in class, for they are always quiet and follow all the teachers¿ roles. On the other hand, teachers consider girls intelligent where it comes to reading, writing, and comprehension while boys are better in grammar, which follows rules; this is why girls get more questions and lower grades in grammar while boys get more inquiries and worse scores in comprehension.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Reflections as a classic text cannot be understood without analyzing it within its historical-philosophical context. On its historical side, it was written in order to defend the 18th century British political system against the omnipresent air of change in Europe. On its philosophical side, Reflections is an inside critique of the Enlightenment thought. Although Burke was by no means an anti-Enlightenment hero, he developed a criticism of the exaggerated role that the Enlightenment put on the concepts of reason, progress, and rights of man by replacing the abstract reason with practical reason, contextualizing the discourse of the rights of men with that of the rights of Englishmen, and excluding the concept of perfection from his theory of prudent reform. Whilst Burke was attacking to the Revolutionaries as metaphysicians, to the paper money and unimpeded monied interest as the tyranny of economists, to the infallible reason as the secular superstition, and to the extremely self-assured will to defame everything associated with the past and to recreate a new world from scratch in an abrupt process, he was directly launching a crusade to the very heart of the Enlightenment. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book explores how the wider rationalities of people s behavior with regards to purchasing low carbon technologies can be incorporated into energy-economy models, using the Open Source Energy Modelling System (OSeMOSYS) as an example. People are strongly influenced by factors other than the upfront costs, such as hassle, habits, family and friends, social norms, status and time for information searching. However, few attempts have been made to capture and quantify these intangible costs and benefits as parameters in energy-economy models. The book presents innovative research that uses income and location as proxies to do this. Policies that can reduce the intangible costs and increase the benefits will be more effective at encouraging technological uptake than concentrating solely on reducing the upfront costs. 100 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This paper presents an experiment designed to test the self-fulfilling currency crisis models and to examine the impact of public information in context of a signal. Our experiment extends the experimental investigation of Heinemann et al (2002) and Cornand (2004) and compares precise public and noisy public information treatments. Our analysis of the theoretical and the previous experimental results suggests that noisy public information is unlikely to have destabilising effects. In this case we expect that probability of attacks to be lower and predictability of attacks may be worse with noisy public information than with precise public information. Based on Kahneman and Tversky (1979) and Koszegi and Rabin (2006), we also propose an explanation of the order effect of the certain payoffs found in the previous experiments. 60 pp. Englisch.…
