Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In order to understand why the generally peaceful and non-expansionist leadership of Austria-Hungary regarded the relatively small Kingdom of Serbia as such an existential threat to its continued existence that it would risk a general European war to extinguish it, one must first understand the mentalities of the political class of the Habsburg Monarchy. The world-view that pervaded the literate and educated population of the Monarchy was based on the idea of the inseparability of language and nationality, and of the primacy of the nation-state in the political realm. The intellectual connections between language and the nation provided by the Enlightenment and Romantic philosophers were taken up by the dominant Liberal establishment in the 19th century, and given historical support by a number of national historians. These historical interpretations led to a sense of urgency to solve the ethno-linguistic anomalies of the Monarchy. The failure to solve these internal problems led to the search for an external solution, and ultimately to war with Serbia.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This research interrogates disaster risk management perspectives and implications associated with sedentarization of pastoralists in Gode Zone (province) of the Somali Regional State of Ethiopia (Somali Region). The research finds out that sedentarization could be worth pursuing as a mitigation measure but not necessarily as a replacement for pastoralism. Pastoralism goes down in history as a strategy to mitigate climate variability and arid environments. Gode Zone hosts a significant population of pastoralists. Today, the pastoralists in Gode Zone, like elsewhere in the Horn of Africa region suffer restrictions on their mobility and markets largely because of the geopolitical dynamics of the world. Governments do not seem to see the impact of their restrictions on pastoralists. Instead, they somehow see pastoralism as a development problem that needs to be addressed. The most tempting solution to that 'development problem' among most governments is to settle the pastoralists and turn them into crop farmers or agro-pastoralists - otherwise known as sedentarization of pastoralists. The Government of Ethiopia has pursued this policy for years.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Bessel function is defied for a first time by the mathematician Daniel Bernoulli and generalized by Friedrich Bessel. Bessel functions are also called cylinder function or cylindrical harmonic function because they are found in the solution to Laplace s equation in cylindrical coordinated. Bessel equation arises in problems involving vibrations, or heat conduction in regions possessing circular symmetry; therefore Bessel function have many application in physics and engineering in connection with the propagation of waves, elasticity, fluid motion and especially in many problem of potential theory and diffusion involving cylindrical symmetry. This work consists three chapters. The first chapter remained about the power series, second order linear differential equation, singularity point, Sturm-Liouville problem and then gamma function which help to express factorial. In the second chapter it is discussed about the Bessel equation and its solution which is Bessel functions with the plot of Bessel function. The third chapter discuss about the modified Bessel equation and it s solution, which is the special case of the Bessel equation. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Arthur Clarke is known to have remarked 'Any sufficiently advanced Technology is indistinguishable from Magic.' Technology in this modern era has advanced very quickly. New innovations have caused advanced newer emerging technologies to develop. Due to ever increasing use of technology it affects us all. 3DP is one such emerging technology that has the potential to transform the manufacturing systems. Besides it can combine with other emerging technologies and affect the society at a much more deeper level. Emerging fields in technology always suffer from paucity of reference materials. This work is an attempt to redress that. It takes the reader on a quest, step by step to understand the significance of 3DP. The fact is that the use of 3DP is only limited by the human imagination and it finally leads to the conclusion that 3DP would impact the society. 3DP has far reaching applications in engineering, research, technology, medicine, geography and social sciences. Being multi-disciplinary in approach this book is also useful for anyone who seeks to know more about 3DP.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The use of plant medicines is present in the lives of people since antiquity. Many medicinal plants can be fading (human actions) of our forests before being adopted as beneficial to humanity. It is likely that the incompatibility of dialogue between such knowledge may be contributing to the lack of appreciation of the use of medicinal plants in places like in the case of the village of Alter do Chão, located in the city of Santarém, the heart of the Amazon, and internationally known as the Brazilian Caribbean. Thus, this book comes with the intention of awakening the reader, especially the scientific community (bioproespectores, anthropologists, physicians, nurses, pharmacists and biochemists) the appreciation of the importance of breaking paradigms (pre-science and science) as a way of seek dialogue between scientific/modern knowledge with traditional and local knowledge of Amazonian peoples. Besides waking anyone else who might be interested and making use of medicinal plants in their daily life regarding the use of these, from the point, that the inappropriate use of plants can lead to poisoning, although these present the possibility of cure of diseases that afflict humanity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Until recently, focus has been on the good things that come with development projects without paying attention to the fallouts that come with them. Hydroelectricity serves as one of the cheapest source of electric power for both industrial and domestic consumption. But the construction of hydroelectric dams comes with huge environmental and social consequences which are most often not catered for. This book analyses the impacts of hydroelectric dams on the environment and surrounding communities. The book sheds more light on the inadequacy and the flaws in the process of resettlement of displaced communities and compensation packages. It also examines the changes that take place in the ecosystems of the lakes and the surrounding environments due to the construction of hydroelectric dams, and the impacts of those changes on human and aquatic life. This book is extremely useful particularly to environmental and social change researchers, professionals and students of environmental sciences, aquatic resource management, social and anthropological studies, development planners, aid workers, social and environmental NGOs and all those interested in social and environmental issues.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -As far as the relationship between conscious and unconscious processes is concerned, there are two possible aspects: interactions within conscious/unconscious processes, and influences between conscious and unconscious processes. However, there is little research about the interactions between unconscious processes. Moreover, consciousness is not a dichotomous, but rather a graded, phenomenon. There can be intermediate states between completely conscious and completely unconscious states¿in which information at each processing level can be accessed independently of each other. However, little research studies the top-down modulations on the information in partial awareness level. Specifically, how conscious top-down processes interact with the unconscious component of representation in partial awareness is unknown. I will demonstrate these two problems in this book.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -To nurture and develop a vibrant maritime industry, it is imperative to put in place a policy and legislative framework that actively promotes the shipping and port operations through, amongst others, the incorporation and subsequent enactment of laws which provide rules applicable or are best adapted to the Sierra Leonean context. This may be further complimented by the domestication of international conventions and agreements. Basically, the Sierra Leone legal system in so far as it touches and concerns admiralty jurisdiction and procedure should be updated to reflect modern realities. This is very important as shipping is international in nature and in order to boost international maritime trade in Sierra Leone, it is imperative that its national legal framework reflects international standards. In consideration of the above, this book examines the subject of Admiralty Jurisdiction and the arrest of ship procedure (as a distinct aspect of enforcing a maritime claim) in Sierra Leone in five summative chapters. Each chapter attempts to discuss various legal aspects of the subject matter.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

The book proposes that hazards turn into disasters mainly due to governmental incapacities and inefficiencies not only to avert the disasters but also to enable the communities to cope with them without sustaining much loss to their lives and livelihood. It is a must for every environmentalist, public policy-maker, academician, NGO, and civil rights activist. 2.\*\* In recent years disaster risks have been on the rise. However, these disaster risks can be significantly reduced through strategies and actions that seek to decrease vulnerability and exposure to hazards within wider efforts to address poverty and inequality. This publication is timely and well researched endeavour. I felicitate the author for undertaking this pioneering initiative and hope that variety of stakeholders would take full benefit of this publication and contribute to improve the systems and structures dealing with disasters in Pakistan. 1.\* Shahab Usto, Lawyer & Academic 2.\*\* Nasir Ali Panhwar, Executive Director, Centre for Environment & Development (CEAD).

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In America today, aliens who commit even minor visa violations can be detained in one of many U.S. immigration detention facilities. These detainees may be transferred to a facility far away from their homes, families, and attorneys. While imprisoned in these detention facilities, some detainees are treated as and housed with criminals. Their substantive and procedural rights are limited and their human rights are violated. The U.S. laws that should protect them are the very laws that strip them of their rights to court proceedings, challenges of decisions regarding detention, and judicial review. By issuing substantial reservations, declarations, and understandings to human rights treaties, the U.S. has created loopholes through which it is able to violate detainees¿ human rights, and yet avoid accountability. While this analysis focuses on human rights violations at detention facilities during the presidency of George W. Bush, there have been insufficient substantive changes during the Obama presidency to remedy these violations. It is time for America to meet its international obligations and regain its position as a global leader in the promotion and protection of human rights.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This document looks at the deindustrialization process in Colombia during 1965-2012, attempting to distinguish between ¿secular movements¿ (normal) from factors that have accelerated its process as a result of the Dutch Disease. This is a case of accelerated deindustrialization, where the Industry Value Added/GDP ratio has fallen from almost 25% during the mid-seventies to 20-22% in the eighties and now reaches a mere 12%. This deindustrialization has been linked to: i) structural difficulties in the provision of basic services (energy, telecommunications, roads), and ii) the effect springing from the energy-mining boom, accompanied by a costly labor force and a rampant appreciation of the exchange rate, thus giving support to the DD hypothesis. On the econometric front, the VEC model supports the DD hypothesis for the period 1970-2010, as compared to the alternate hypothesis of ¿secular¿ deindustrialization. This is usually explained by the expansion of the services sector (due to relative gains in productivity and ¿modernization¿) and the level of development (gains in GDP per capita), which are typically linked to the developed world.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The aim of this study was to define connections between heifer rearing intensity (average daily weight gain, age at first calving, body condition scores during the rearing phase) and production performance, fertility and longevity of dairy cows in the production period with regard to overall herd economics. A dairy herd is a complex system consisting of two interconnected parts ¿ the milking herd and the replacement herd. Management decisions regarding replacement policy can have profound effects on the profitability of the farm as a whole. Although it is often pursued as a management target, low AFC does not always lead to the most profitable outcome in dairy herd management.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A San Francisco Evening was composed in 2012 for a commission by Sara Lee. The work premiered in the fall of 2012 at Auer Hall on the campus of Indiana University Jacob¿s School of Music in Bloomington, Indiana, USA. The original composition was written as a viola concerto, while this orchestral score was completed in 2013. The inspiration for A San Francisco Evening emerged from studying historical events of the 1903 Great San Francisco Earthquake. The first movement introduces the quiet of that morning, before the earthquake occurred. There is a surreal uneasiness in the air, as though nature is aware of the impending doom, represented by dogs barking and birds fleeing the city. The second movement is a memorial of the tragedy and the unimaginable loss of life that ensued. The final movement represents the intensity and horrific explosion as the Great San Francisco Earthquake takes its toll.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

The ¿design school¿ of strategic management, which focuses on a non-complex model that perceives the process of strategic formation as a design process to reach a satisfactory balance between internal distinctive competence and external threat and opportunity. Strategy formation should be a conscious, informal and controlled process of thought. This book provides a general overview of the Design School providing an example as to how it can be adopted by organisations even in present times despite its wide criticisms.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The introduction of invasive marine species into new environments by ballast water has been identified as one of the greatest threats to the ocean. It is believed that over 3,000 species of plants and animals are being transferred daily in ballast water tanks. The invasion of certain species into new marine environment impacts on commercial fishing and environment at large. It seriously affects human beings in numerous ways. There were several international efforts to control bio-invasion but did not have universal application. The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships Ballast Water & Sediments has been drafted taking into consideration the need to implement a sui generis instrument to address the issue. However, this convention is yet not in force. There should be a pragmatic approach not only to control the pollution but also to assist countries financially to implement the measures more effectively and help people who are victims of bio-pollution.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -How can a country become more developed The introduction of the new growth theory sees the role of government in the growth process in a new light that endogenous factors, including government, can influence economic growth. While enlargement of government could result in a boost in economic growth rate through establishing protections of property rights, standardization, ruling law, decreasing transaction costs and creating an environment conducive to investment and providing infrastructures and public goods especially healthcare and education; On the other hand, it leads to deceleration of economic growth through disincentive effects of taxation and borrowing and increased inefficiencies. Especially when public sector gradually trespasses to domains where private sector could provide services at higher quality and lower costs. Furthermore, although they are closely related, the variables that affect economic growth could affect development differently. Thus, the final impact of government size on development depends on the weight of negative and positive effects¿Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The topic of cross-border family life in the Cameroon context has been largely ignored by scholars; using the oral history method, I am focusing on Cameroonian women migrants' creation of meaning around family relationships. Most scholarly work around this topic has often reflected the idea that the migration of women leads to family disintegration and children left behind suffer a care deficit. Based on the research I carried out in Cape Town, South Africa, I argue that the migration of Cameroonian women to Cape Town, South Africa does not lead to family disintegration and Children left back at home do not suffer care deficit. Instead these women negotiate their belonging in order to be able to care and provide for their children and families back home.They do so by strategically obtaining legal documents in South Africa, which enables them to invite their children and family members to join them, thereby performing motherhood in another light while maintaining the hegemonic perception of being the main caregivers to their children.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.
