However, limited literature on the influence of baby walkers on fundamental motor development has been reported. Baby walkers have been in use for several centuries and have become familiar childcare equipment. Therefore this study adds on to the existing literature by investigating the fundamental locomotor skills of toddlers at about four years old who were baby walker users when they were infants. Overall, the results showed that the baby walker users performed significantly poorer in running and significantly better in sliding. In addition, the baby walker users in this study did not demonstrate mastery in hopping and leaping. However, based on the findings of this study, delays in motor skills during the rudimentary stage do not continue in the fundamental stage of motor development. This suggests new insights to the opinions of stakeholders in the field of Early Childhood Education as well as the decisions of parents and/or caregivers to use baby walkers in the future. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of family styles and adventure program participation on an individual's change in intrinsic motivation. Previous family style studies (Rathunde, 1996; 2001) have indicated that an individual's family style affects his subjective perceptions and behaviors in different social situations. This study examined whether different family styles resulted in different levels of intrinsic motivation in regard to adventure program participants. In addition, adventure programs, which consist of adventurous activities and structured programs, satisfy the needs of competence, autonomy and relatedness, which are known to promote intrinsic motivation (Ryan & Deci, 2002; Witt & Caldwell, 2005). Therefore, this study is based on the hypothesis that participating in an adventure program may change an individual's level of intrinsic motivation. 76 pp. Englisch.

Sprinting is associated with power and speed, whereas distance running focuses on the economy of movement. With distance running there are elements of sprint technique that overlap. With distance events, there comes a time near the end of the race where economy gives way to speed. If the distance runners knew how to alter their technique in a way to become more sprint-like, this process could possibly be more successful. 72 pp. Englisch.

The IMF/WB loan packages that were imposed on the borrowers, known as Conditions like Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs), advised them to adjust their policies, especially to reduce the public spending on education which has influenced the policy changes. This book explores the answers for the inquiries like what are the impacts of WB on educational policy making, and what are the general tendencies and applications of these impacts in India. There are two different views in this regard. One is that the WB is an all-powerful arm of imperialism and another is that it is powerless, incapable of influencing policies in the countries in which it operates. This book exhibits the different arguments and opinions of different authors and documents in this respect. This study is a literature review and was carried out as a thesis for the master's on educational studies at KULeuven, Belgium by Solomon Arulraj DAVID and was guided by Prof. Dr. Danny Wildemeersch. 80 pp. Englisch.

This book unfolds the art of painting through Deleuze's philosophy and then narrates Francis Bacon's Paintings as a story [though Bacon is strongly against narration in his paintings], reflecting the understanding of The Logic Of Sensation. This guide is intended as a quick reference of Deleuze's philosophy over Bacon's paintings with Kant's philosophy as complementary theory. This book does not follow the order of 'Logic Of Sensation', instead its complete data of is rephrased in 'Deleuze Over Bacon' to assist better flow and understanding. 60 pp. Englisch.

And It's a growing area of research in the fields of architecture and engineering due to the fact that it is an inspirational metaphor of possible new innovation and because of the potential it offers a way to create more sustainable and even regenerative built environment. The widespread and practical application of biomimicry as a design method remains largely unrealized.The various forms of biomimicry comply with building integration and its application to the building system; it is shown that these varieties of approaches may lead to attain different outcomes in terms of overall sustainability or regenerative potential. It is posited that a biomimetic approach to architectural design incorporates an understanding of integrating systems could become a path for creating a built environment and goes beyond simply sustaining conditions to a restorative practice where the built environment becomes a vital component in the integration to achieve maximum performances. 80 pp. Englisch.

In writing a finite book, the task of the Jew and the poet is to approach the Infinite Book which cannot be written. While God s Book dies with the birth of humanity s book, the Name is forever resuscitated through language. The symbolic power of language within the chasm between the finite and the Infinite is one of many crucial contributions made by Edmond Jabès (April 6, 1912 January 2, 1991) to the history of Jewish Thought. The scope of Jabès s reflections spans seventeen books (1943-1985). The following study is an exploration in delimiting the limitless Book of Limits, from Jabès's tetralogy spanning 1982 to 1987. This sustained work offers linguistic testimony to the loss and rupture experienced through exile. Amidst this tissue of signs, questioning is a mode of being in the world. Jabès realizes a theology beyond the limits of post-modernism, by both questioning the foundation stone of theism and incorporating time and negation back into the deity. 112 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book outlines a piece of ethnographic research undertaken on Uyghur vernacular architecture for the purpose of understanding Uyghur cultural identity and interpreting this identity during the design and planning of the built environment in 'Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region' of China. From a historical perspective, this research examines Uyghur culture and vernacular architecture from the four interactive parts of culture, the social, belief, economic, and political systems. The built environment is a part of culture with a syntax remains relatively consistent through cultural change, just as the grammar of a language, while the components of the built environment may change just as the additions of borrowed words or newly invented words, and forgotten of old words. This syntax can be regarded as the abstract form of the identity of the built environment and it can be transferred into contemporary built environment. Applying this theory in examining the impact of culture on architecture, this research explores the identity of Uyghur architecture in order to translate this heritage into contemporary architectural and urban design. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Since Jacques Derrida's 1989 essay 'Force of Law: the Mystical Foundations of Authority,' Carl Schmitt has been a perennial subject of Derrida's political critique. I will argue that Derrida's concept of auto-immunity is uniquely applicable to Derrida's interpretation of Schmitt's political philosophy. Derrida is a philosopher of a thousand faces. Perhaps, his last face was his concept of auto-immunity. Derrida begins to utilize this biological concept as early as the 1990s, but only after the terrorist attacks of September 11th does this concept becomes a predominate schema in which Derrida configures his philosophy. Derrida's schema of auto-immunity also has a thousand faces. In many ways, this is the final concept of an illustrious history of prior concepts. Indeed, auto-immunity is deconstruction. As Michael Naas puts it: 'Undecideability, aporia, antinomy, double bind: autoimmunity is explicitly inscribed in Rogues into a veritable best of collection' of Derrideo-phemes or deconstructo-nyms' (Naas, p. 29). I will exhibit how this schema uniquely applies to Derrida's account of Carl Schmitt's political philosophy as early as 'Force of Law' and The Politics of Friendship. 76 pp. Englisch.

This study sought to obtain comprehensive information about gifted high school dropouts and to examine factors that are related to gifted students' dropout behavior as well as the factors of their underachievement. A total of 58 data sources were obtained. Sixteen of these had sufficient data to be coded which yielded to 21 independent samples and 1025 identified subjects. After a thorough examination of these studies, this meta-analysis answered three questions regarding to (1) reasons for leaving school, (2) roles of gender and race, and (3) factors affecting underachievement. This book should help shed some light on the controversial research findings, and should be especially useful to parents, students, professionals such as teachers, researchers, and administrators or anyone else who may seek information on gifted students, being at risk, underachievement and dropping out. 104 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Few events have dramatically altered the course of world-history as have the dynamic Muslim conquests of the seventh century. Aside from the seizure of a large expanse of onetime Roman lands and the cultural Arabization of millions of people, great wars have been waged between Islam and the West--till the present. Yet ambiguity abounds as to how and why these conquests were first originally realized. This study seeks to ascertain the immediate factors behind the conquests in general by deconstructing the all-pivotal Battle of Yarmuk in particular. This paradigmatic battle is ideal for extrapolating the root cause(s) of the conquests; for it was primarily at Yarmuk that the Arabs suffered notable physical and practical disadvantages--and yet still emerged triumphant. Thus this engagement allows one to see well beyond the usual aspects of military history--the physical and practical--and better appreciate the more abstract factors that have fueled the events of world history. 72 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -ShorttitleAs social network sites like MySpace and Facebook emerged, American teenagers began adopting them as spaces to mark identity and socialize with peers. Teens leveraged these sites for a wide array of everyday social practices gossiping, flirting, joking around, sharing information, and simply hanging out. While social network sites were predominantly used by teens as a peer-based social outlet, the unchartered nature of these sites generated fear among adults. This dissertation documents my 2.5-year ethnographic study of American teens engagement with social network sites and the ways in which their participation supported and complicated three practices self-presentation, peer sociality, and negotiating adult society. My analysis centers on how social network sites can be understood as networked publics which are simultaneously (1) the space constructed through networked 2 technologies and (2) the imagined community that emerges as a result of the intersection of people, technology, and practice. Networked publics support many of the same practices as unmediated publics, but their structural differences often inflect practices in unique ways. 408 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The traditional Christian view of God as a supernatural deity creating the universe and man from nothing often has a difficult time finding common ground for a discussion on the nature of human suffering and the path to human salvation with the non-theistic tradition of Buddhism. In his attempt to make Christianity work for the modern mind that is ruled not by religion but by scientific thought, Paul Tillich restates Christian theology in a way that allows for a more fruitful dialogue with Buddhism. For Tillich, God is not the potter, the watchmaker, nor the chess master. God is not a being at all, but rather God is being itself, what he calls the ground of being. By moving away from the supernatural and toward the existential, Tillich's theology opens the door to the possibility that Christian practice can be enlightened from its encounter with Buddhism. 92 pp. Englisch.

It had both devastating immediate effects and deep long-term consequences. This book investigates the nature and gravity of the Black Death's effects on medicine and its historical development in Europe. It outlines the existing structure and characteristics of the medical system before the Black Death and then discusses both change and continuity in the medical practices thereafter. The Black Death revealed the shortcomings of the existing medical system in Europe and intensified the struggle between physicians and surgeons for status, yet, it did not completely destroy the existing medical system. Thus, the Black Death represents an event that helped shape medieval medicine's course of development, and as such, helped shape the development of future medical practices. Suitable for a broad range of readers, this work provides an easy to follow investigation of medieval medical practices adn their relation to the Black Death. 108 pp. Englisch.

Translators must invest a considerable amount of time and skill to create a good and valuable translation. This work provides an analysis of the creative and normalizing strategies of the Czech and Slovak translations of Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things. It studies and compares the normalizing and creative strategies of the two translators: Michaela Lauschmannová and Veronika Redererová. The work further compares the translator's attitudes to translation, language and creative passages of the source text. It also studies the influence of the shifts that occurred during the translation process, and studies the degree of their influence on the target text. Finally, it examines the transfer of all levels of meaning and all kinds of functions of the source text. The analysis should help to get a better understanding of the translation strategies and translators' attitudes in order to improve one's own strategies and techniques when translating. 60 pp. Englisch.

Due to the increased influence of globalization and the changing Mumbai society, lately, several films extend from Bombay cinema which attempt to subvert the conventions and clichés of Bollywood. I regard these films as Neo-Indian Cinema and discuss them in parallel with Bollywood. Neo-Indian Cinema has its own unique attributes which capture the elements of reality prevailing in Bombay society. This book explores the necessity of the emergence of Neo-Indian Cinema, the different styles adopted by the filmmakers of these films, some of the current major challenges that Neo-Indian Cinema faces and what it can provide Bombay cinema and eventually the Indian cinema in the long run. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Given the high incidence of mortality attributable to diseases often preventable through behavioural change, it is important that models of behaviour change and intervention be continually evaluated. As such, the Trans- theoretical Model (TTM) of behaviour change is reviewed within this book. There is much empirical support for the TTM; however, several critiques are noted. As a model for intervention, the TTM appears inadequate when applied to younger populations. Cognitive development is proposed to account for this age discrepancy. One such construct, adolescent egocentrism (i.e., the imaginary audience and the personal fable) is explored in relation to both unhealthy behaviour participation and change. It appears plausible that the cognitive distortions associated with this construct could affect individuals utilisation of those cognitive processes of change stated within the TTM as being necessary for successful behaviour change. Whilst providing some explanatory value when integrated with the TTM, conceptual limitations pertaining to adolescent egocentrism precludes comprehensive theoretical implications. 64 pp. Englisch.

I couldn t agree with this statement for a certain amount of time because that meant that complexity was ugly. Why This question has always followed a part of my mind while trying to design something as simple as possible. What does simplicity mean in the design field And complexity Could complexity be pretty This question would be a debatable issue and I personally believe complexity could be pretty. Only then will it be a little close to what is called Art There is a very thin gray line between Art and Design. Therefore, we designers, sometimes get inspired from a masterpiece of art or the other way around. In this book, I am going to explore interesting visual dynamics and find some pure geometry that people like subconsciously and then apply the form to products. In my thesis, I am going to try to find new ways to be inspired to design products. This starts from finding the meaning of hidden space, that is a primary conceptual part of the product. 76 pp. Englisch.

Unlike earlier migrations, which mainly brought immigrants from northern and eastern Europe, many of these immigrants came from untraditional countries of eastern and southern Europe, as well as immigrants from Asia and the Middle East. Of these immigrants, a small group of Syrians from present-day Lebanon eventually came to settle in Kearney, Nebraska. As traveling peddlers, they initially filled a void in the economy of central Nebraska that helped them in America s capitalist society. Unlike other immigrants who worked in factories and for large firms and struggled to advance, Kearney s Syrians moved up the capitalist food chain very quickly. Within their first decade in Kearney, they moved from traveling peddlers to successful entrepreneurs and farmers. Aside from their traditions of food and church they learned to blend in to American society and Kearney in particular. 92 pp. Englisch.

By means of embodied performance, applied drama and theatre seeks to influence and effect change in the lives of the people for whom and by whom it is performed. More specifically, the fight against HIV/AIDS cannot afford to ignore the cultural dimension of the epidemic, hence the medium of communication also needs to be able to enact change in the people's way of life. In its broadest sense, applied drama and theatre belongs to the field of participatory performance methodologies that are driven by a central transformative principle. The emphasis is placed on the application of drama and theatre to help participants improvise, rehearse, perform, reflect and act upon questions that relate to the betterment of their own lives. This book focuses on how applied drama and theatre has become one of the most effective mediums for HIV/AIDS education in two selected Southern African countries. 104 pp. Englisch.

This can be better achieved, not through simulating a working environment such as most accredited training organisations offer, but through well-defined in-service tasks that take into account the clear career progression needs of the individual. This would allow people to set up specific and measurable learning outcomes, in order to acquire skills that allow them to adapt to their job functions for a better individual or collective performance. It explores ways of developing coaching skills in academic settings, not through accredited training courses, but rather by following the self-directed learning route that is informed by continuing personal and professional development activities, action research for improvement, reflective practice and collaborative learning for quality enhancement. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The aim of 'Analysing Harmony' is to make some kind of sense or order from tonal harmony as used in the popular music of the mid-20th century; the kind of music that is known as the 'great American songbook' and used as 'standards' by jazz musicians. The benefit of using this kind of repertoire is that, because it is highly 'refined', in the sense of being systematised and predictable, other musics, such as classical and pop, may be usefully compared with it to highlight similarities and differences of tonal use. The particular purpose of the booklet is twofold. Firstly, it may assist songwriters suffering from the 'lost chord' of songwriter's block. The patterns and substitute chords analysed here can provide a range of chords that have the 'correct' harmonic function: it's then a matter of choosing one according to taste. Secondly, an analytical understanding can greatly assist the improvising musician to develop broader and more complex melodic ideas over longer time-frames, rather than responding to each individual chord as it comes along. 68 pp. Englisch.

It found that Swedish literacy skills were significantly higher than those in Canada. To understand factors that might account for this difference, this qualitative case study compared adult learning in rural and urban sites in Canada and Sweden. The New Literacy Studies provided a critical perspective for comparing adult literacy as contextual rather than as a technical, pedagogical skill. A conceptual framework based on situated literacy and comprising policy-in-intent, policy-in-practice and policy-in-experience guided a multi-method approach. There were substantive differences between the two countries in the provision of and access to adult education at the macro-level but at the micro-level, individuals shared similar goals and issues. Swedes with the least education had priority access to formal education whereas Canadians with the least education often had to rely on the volunteer sector. Other social policies in Sweden also facilitated participation in adult education. 96 pp. Englisch.

This study examines the influence of perceived deservingness and moral character on confirmation bias for evidence utilisation in a legal decision making context. Information was gathered regarding people s initial impressions of a defendant. Experimental manipulations varied the guilt level, and the moral character and deservingness characteristics of a defendant. The results showed that participants generally displayed an even-handed approach to evidence selection. There was limited support for the hypothesis that people would rate the deservingness consistent with the initial manipulation. The hypothesis that ratings of the defendants moral character would be rated in a consistent manner with the moral manipulation was supported. The implications and suggestions for future research are discussed. 76 pp. Englisch.

Trade flowed, Britannia ruled the waves and all in all it seemed there was no limit to British ambitions. However, times were changing. Questions of a ethical nature were beginning to surface everywhere from the press to the pulpit. Competition from newly-industrialized Germany and America forced Britain to re-evaluate its approach to foreign rule and to win loyalties it had hitherto taken for granted. The time had come to earn its keep. In doing so, searching questions were asked about the nature of rule, the integrity of empire, how best to ensure its survival, and the true meaning of enlightened self-interest. Could a fundamental shake-up of human values and a new approach to humanity be enough to keep the wheels of industry turning, the profits rolling in and colonial discord to a minimum Pause for reflection would mature an empire and enrich its narrative, but would this leave it vulnerable to attack and lead it ultimately down that path to self-liquidation This inquiry sets out to uncover some of these questions from a era that simply won't go away. 80 pp. Englisch.
