Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This Reference Book on the topic entitled 'Environmental Regeneration Dominance and Species Diversity of Tree Species in Forest Ecosystems of Submontane and Montane Zones of Garhwal Himalaya' revealed that the study areas are least investigated and deserved to be studied in detail for increasing status of management for sustainable conservation of the rich biodiversity. The study has implications for management of forest resources. The information on vegetation would be helpful in solving ecological problems such as biological conservation and management options, and will help in better understanding of species abundance, resource partitioning, predictions of future changes, facilitating comparison among taxa, and resource utilization. The information generated through this investigation would certainly help forming baseline for future research studies in this rich biodiversity area as well as in developing plans for using natural resources sustainably. 160 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The discourse constructing a queer representative with LGBT identity embodies subversive queer rebellion grounding interdependence between advertisers, stars, and audiences in commercial television. Considering her media roles for American Express, CoverGirl, and J.C. Penney, as well as a daytime talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres expresses queerness, queer moments, and space in accordance with anti-heteronormativity described by Alexander Doty. In the mainstream advertising, using LGBT subculture texts is a strategy for advertisers to target mass heterosexual consumers, while simultaneously not to alienate homosexual communities. In U.S. daytime television programming, The Ellen DeGeneres Show emblematizes identity declaration of Ellen s coming out episodes in 1997 and embodies entertaining segments in terms of a coming out party through talking, dancing, and liberating. In audience reception, viewers are empowered by a moment of pleasure, sympathy, and liberation in relation to DeGeneres queer performance in the media. Ellen DeGeneres, as a queer representative, signifies a satirical token of homonormativity to negotiate heteronormative media narratives in the mainstream media. 104 pp. Englisch. …

Existing studies have so far also neglected the long-term impact of the CFPR on landholdings, health and distribution of income of the ultra poor households in rural Bangladesh in detail. This paper addresses these two gaps, which would be important in policy implications for re-shaping the existing policies and interventions. 72 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The purpose of this thesis is to examine if and how the hedge fund manager s background characteristics and strategy applied affect the fund s performance, as measured by average monthly return, risk and risk-adjusted monthly return. This is done by collecting data on 41 different hedge fund managers in Sweden and then performing robust OLS regressions. Our main results are that applying a long-short equity strategy generates higher return, higher risk, and higher risk-adjusted return compared to the other strategies. Hedge fund managers with previous studies in business and economics generate lower return, take on less risk and generate lower risk-adjusted return. We find modest evidence of lower risk taking among former students of Lund University. Investing private funds in the hedge fund are found to have a negative impact on risk-adjusted return. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book applies the theories of Structuration and reflexivity to the Internet in Amman, Jordan, to argue how the Internet can challenge authority as embedded in kinship social formations. In the first place, the Internet can be an empowering agent by challenging authority; at the same time, kinship s social and moral codes can structure the reflexivity, Structuration, and agency that users derive from the Internet. This book argues that there is a symbiotic relationship between the Internet and kinship. Situating Internet usage within kinship would challenge technological determinism. Furthermore, the book explains how and why an anthropological approach to media, including the Internet, would be especially suitable for exploring the Internet s functions in users lives. Finally, the book uses an interview of an Arab woman student (who was in the University of Texas in Austin at the time of the writing) to support its argument. 56 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Phytotoxic effect of biochanin A (a major isoflavone in clover) on different weed species was evaluated in agar medium bioassays. Silene noctiflora and Geranium molle roots growth were progressively inhibited with increasing concentrations of biochanin A, whereas the monocot species (Echinochloa crus-galli) were unaffected. With regard to the dicot species, S. noctif lora (EC50 = 35.80 M and EC25 = 5.20 M) was more susceptible than G. molle (EC50, EC25 400 M). S. noctif lora, G. molle, and E. crus-galli root and shoot samples, representing a susceptible, a less susceptible, and a nonsusceptible species, respectively, were analyzed by LC-MS to quantify biochanin A and its transformation products. Biochanin A and its known transformation products genistein, dihydrobiochanin A, pratensein, and p-coumaric acid were quantified. Sissotrin was identified and quantified while assigning unknown peaks. The treated root samples contained more biochanin A, genistein, pratensein, and dihydrobiochanin A than shoot samples. 104 pp. Englisch.…
