Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Finding cup marks, rock basins, hundreds of menhir/stelae (some with engravings), carved horizontal slabs and the like, all bursting from rock outcrops in middle of the land pastures and surrounded by zoomorphic or anthropomorphic figures - is always a motive of surprise. But it becomes shocking and beyond belief when these findings are geographically placed in the middle of North Atlantic Ocean, on an Island where history says that no one lived before the XV century¿ With the opposition of Portuguese authorities and archaeologists, but as part of a pos doctoral project with Porto University, this book pretends only to register the inoffensive rock basins standing among the other controversial material¿Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -With the development of the chromatographic determinations in parallel with their analytical applications, non-analytical applications also came into use. The HPLC methods are widely used for the quantitative determination of drug preservatives, but they can also be used for the determination of the preservatives` physicochemical properties. The HPLC method is applied for determination of the pKa values and the lipophilicity parameter of the most useful preservatives in drugs oral solution formulations at different pH ranges. The same method is used for investigation on the lipophilicity of these compounds. The pKa and lipophilicity parameter values are the most important parameters characterizing the processes of penetration of preservatives through the cellular membrane at different conditions. The higher lipophilicity contributes to the better interaction of the preservatives with the membrane of the undesirable microorganisms and assures their biological action.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Until very recently, activity schedules that aim to help individuals with autism organize their lives and independently execute daily tasks were prepared in bulky folders that were hard to manage and carry around. In the past two or three years, leading schools in autism education started using iPads for activity schedules, which are more convenient to use and prepare. Although there are books explaining how to prepare activity schedules in folders using paper-based methods, this is the first book to explain how to create activity schedules in iPads for children with autism and how to teach children to follow these schedules independently. This book aims to be a guide for parents and caregivers who wish to implement in their homes the principles that are used in schools for autism education worldwide.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In this book a case study was conducted to inquire into whether a targeted intervention; a leadership development program, can contribute to the participants experience of leadership development. The program was conducted in 2011 in the Norwegian Armed Forces Medical Services. The data was collected from in-depth interviews with four of the participants. Through analysis of the data from the interviews, there emerged categories and sub-categories which are discussed. The book draws mainly on constructive developmental theory. Different types of tools are used during the program to address changes that the participants want, for instance a 360-tool, to bring to the surface key opportunities for developmental growth. The program also uses individual coaching as well as the 'Immunity to change'-learning platform, to address change by trying to unlock our mental immune system`s grip on our perception so the participants have an opportunity to see it in action. The aim of the program is to enable a development of a greater awareness and sensitivity to the full range of consciousness available to the participants. The participants describe experiences of developmental processes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The Syrian civil war is a direct result of the Arab Spring phenomenon. The Free Syrian Army (FSA) is attempting to overthrow the despotic rule of Bashar al-Assad. The Alawite minority rule of the Assad family has been sponsored by the Soviet Union and now the Russian Federation. Composed mostly of defectors from the Syrian military, using the Arab Spring which raged across North Africa and the Middle East as their model, the FSA was initially successful in their revolt against Assad but have faltered due to American and Russian intelligence interference. Further, the jihadist forces of al Qaeda affiliates have attempted to hijack the FSA¿s efforts to dislodge Assad. The infighting of the jihadist factions has culminated in the formation of the Islamic State¿s Abu Bakar al-Baghdadi becoming Caliph Ibrihim. ISIL and ISIS converged and are sweeping across Iraq, threatening the Shiite Maliki government as well in their attempts to formalize the new caliphate from Raqqa, Syria to Baghdad. Vladimir Putin has interceded on behalf of the al-Assad regime, requiring Assad to eliminate his chemical WMD stocks, preempting the Obama administration¿s strategic missile strike against Damascus.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study aims identify the main morphological patterns of pancreas in AIDS patients using Higly Active Antiretorviral Therapy (HAART). We compared adults who died of AIDS using HAART and underwent autopsy with 109 AIDS patients without HAART therapy. The HAART group presented lighter pancreas abnormalities than no HAART users. In the HAART group, histology shows: reduction of zymogen granules in the acinar cells (ZG), lower ¿dysplasia-like¿ and higher pancreatic acinar atrophy. The exocrine pancreas in treated patients was distinguished by the high level of atrophy, sharp reduction of zymogen granules and high level of apoptosis, reflecting degeneration and lower level of proteincaloric malnutrition. The islets of Langerhans in HAART group were increased in number and volume and with high level of nuclear dysplasia. The antiviral therapy and a longer survival resulted in a higher atrophy and reduction of enzymes, increasing the apoptosis and generated important changes in the pancreatic islets, probably resulting in clinical/laboratory repercussion. We found no evidence of pancreatic histological lesions secondary to antiretroviral therapy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Liquid Marble is an interesting formation occurs when a liquid droplet interacts with a hydrophobic (or superhydrophobic) powder. The droplet can become encased in the powder, which essentially provides a protective 'shell' or 'jacket' for the liquid inside. The liquid inside is then isolated from contact with other solids or liquids and has some fascinating physical properties, which will be described later on. The main potential use for these liquid marbles appears to be for the formation of novel, hollow granules, which may have desirable properties in specific pharmaceutical applications (e.g. respiratory devices). They have also been shown to be a highly effectively means of water recovery and potentially as micro-transporters and micro-reactors. However many studies in the literature are essentially proof-of-concept approaches for applications and a systematic study of the dynamics of the marble formation and the first interactions of the liquid droplet with the powder is lacking. This is the motivation for this research project, where we aim to provide such information from an experimental study of drop impact onto hydrophobic powders with the use of high-speed imaging.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The respondents were asked to answer questionnaire of cognitive emotion regulation components. According to the answers on self-blame, the respondents did not blame themselves for occurrence of negative events. Also with respect to catastrophysing, the respondents answered to all the items in low level. According to the respondents¿ answers on other-blame, the respondents did not blame others for what had happened to them. Based on the respondents¿ answers on rumination as a negative coping strategy, it could be observed that most of the responses were categorized at high level for all items. In terms of the items related to refocusing, reappraisal, acceptance and planning, all answers were categorized at high level for all the questions. Also, regarding putting into perspective, low responses were related to the statement of ¿all could have been much worse in low level. Moreover, the highest score is related to positive reappraisal. The findings also displayed significant differences in the cognitive emotion regulation of respondents of different faculties, age groups, races, and genders.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book introduces stylistic paradigms, cinematic techniques and narrative strategies of Weimar Queer Cinema. Through the aspects: 'from silent films to talkies,' 'from the censorship-free status to the dominance of film censorship,' 'from films with inter-titles to films without inter-titles' and so on, this paper analyzes Weimar gay, lesbian and horror films as well as the films directed by F. W. Murnau. Furthermore, this paper illustrates how the paradigms, techniques and strategies of Weimar Queer Cinema were transformed to outwit Weimar censorship, to inherit the mission of the Weimar queer social movement, to fight against German conservative power's political, juridical, and religious oppressions over the homosexuals, and to create a new artistic peak of Weimar Cinema.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The risk concept and the risk diversification theories are facing new approaches and suffer significant changes by accepting the influence of subjective elements and random phenomena. The paper is screening the most important risk diversification theories and model ad the attitude toward the risk. The selection catches the evolutions of the concepts, approach and attitudes, but also various examples of the risk theory materialization. The case study of the Romanian SMEs managers is a qualitative analysis of their knowledge and perception toward risk in the managed companies and own lives. There were crystallised some conclusions and new research directions that could lead to solutions of improving the risk protection of the business environment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study examines the role of minimum wage legislation in the working conditions of domestic workers (house maids) in Zambia. The introduction of a minimum wage generally tends to improve domestic worker wages, although an increasing number of domestic workers in the labour market (excess supply) tends to maintain their vulnerability as this tends to reduce their bargaining power (Societal perception, low agency and self-esteem, especially for live-ins). This paper identifies the key actors in domestic work, and suggests a model for formalizing it that focuses on maid centres (domestic worker agencies) because they are able to register, organize, bargain and represent the domestic workers as most of them ensure the domestic worker employer complies to the minimum wage (although the emphasis is not it being a floor/starting point in most cases).In addition, education and literacy seem to have less explanatory value in relation to the dynamics of bargaining, but awareness. It also seems that minimum wage legislation benefits urban Domestic Workers more, as I had hypothesized. This could be due to higher awareness levels, proximity to representation and higher standards of living.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The nation's stock of human capital is based on the foundation of the family structure which is a basic unit of society and how each member of the unit's capabilities has an opportunity to develop, so as to enhance the general population's well-being. Therefore , social cohesion is a key component for economic and personal well being as well as the social development of a country.However, the contemporary Ethiopian society faces structural challenges that are no longer able to provide its young generation namely street children, the love, care, respect and dignity they deserve to enhance human development. The persistent natural and human made crisis has weakened the social network structures to abandon its own children to the care of Nongovernmental Organisations and the streets.'It was decided that I should work on the street to support my family and myself. I still go to school but it is very hard, because often I go to school straight from the street hungry and tired.' Street children have many stories and their images can be portrayed as either helpless victims or heroic survivors or dangerous criminals.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Work demands in various occupational settings elicit physical, biomechanical and physiological stress in human body.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The Gas OPEC Myth analyzes the reasons why a global natural gas cartel is not yet possible. Gas market collusion requires the elimination of significant constraints including regionalization of markets, gas demand elasticity, supply glut and lack of incentive for international political cooperation. The book also adds a domestic layer by discussing the different motives for natural gas producers to avoid joint setting of prices and quantities. While several studies have pointed to the economic benefits of collusion for the natural gas exporters, their conclusions are based on strong market assumptions including the convergence of regional gas prices on a global level, creation of spot markets based on LNG and the possibility for political cooperation among the members of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF). The book suggests that a functioning natural gas cartel could be possible if there were a market-sharing agreement between the two largest natural gas exporters, Russia and Qatar, and if key resource holders in the Middle East and Central Asia were to join the GECF, the dubbed gas-OPEC.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In this book, we report a successful synthesis of well vertically aligned Eu doped ZnO nanorods prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) without any catalyst. The effect of different PLD growth parameters in forming the nanorods and structure has been studied. Laser energy and frequency have an effect on the size and the height of the nanorods; the oxygen pressure changed the density of the nanorods. The ZnO nanorods were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The obtained XRD patterns showed ZnO wurtzite structure nanorods grown along the C-axis. Morphological properties of ZnO nanorods were investigated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) while the quality of structure was investigated using photoluminescence (PL).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The paper summarizes the principle of optimum diversity of biosystems, which suggests that biodiversity is a parameter to be optimized. In fact, diversity is considered as a major adaptation of biosystems to environmental conditions. Paper discusses the diversity of two hierarchical levels - population (phenotypic diversity within a population) and coenotic (number of species in community). ¿ypotheses about mechanisms of diversity optimisation in the ecological, microevolutionary and evolutionary processes and findings for environmental management and biodiversity conservation are considered.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -With the onset of the financial crisis in late 2007, the market conditions changed radically and the elementary pricing procedure used among practitioners became unreliable and obsolete. This necessitated a change in the methods used in pricing financial products. We discuss post-credit crunch paradigm shift from single-curve to the multi-curve setting. We first present the single curve and explore techniques such as the construction of single yield (spot) curve, and show how we obtain yield measures from the curve and use them to price interest rate swaps and bonds. We then study the multi-curve pricing framework and compare the two pricing methodologies against the practice currently used in Kenya to price bonds and give recommendations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -I have written this book to record my vision of the future of medicine based on observations made during my 55 years of basic and clinical research, teaching and medical practice. The book presents my views on the current crisis in healthcare and the ramifications of the Affordable Care Act, colloquially referred to as Obamacare, for the future of the healthcare industry, especially, in the United States. I have tried to touch on just about every aspect of medical practice especially as I see changes coming as a result of the Affordable Care Act and financial stresses. The discussions are terse but they are frank and present realities of the dilemmas facing the healthcare industry in the United States. This book was not written just for physicians and persons involved with the healthcare industry. Lay persons in the United States are very concerned with the future of healthcare and this book may help them to appreciate the stresses faced by physicians and hospitals in caring for patients. Moreover, the Affordable Care Act will be the subject of repeated discussions in the Congress, in newscasts and in newspapers. I hope that this book will add insight to these discussions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Novel ¿-peptidic secondary structures have been gained with five and six membered alicyclic side-chains. We analyzed various secondary structures of different foldameric and ¿-peptidic structures as a function of the back-bone stereochemical pattern. The results showed that the homochiral and the alternating heterochiral systems do not cover all the possibilities to create periodic secondary structures. The absolute configurations can be regarded as the basic instruction set in the assembly language of the peptidic foldamer sequences, and an stereochemical patterning approach was established. We tested the SPA experimentally in terms of sequences with a novel backbone stereochemical pattern, giving an H14/16 helix and an H9-12 helix. These are de novo designed helices. Further evidence in connection with the relevance of the SPA is the two distorted structures with the swapped backbone pattern, because they do not form helical structures. Their secondary structure is loop-like.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The branchy system of trachea tubules, the leaves of the trees, the veins on our hands, river basins, lightning ¿ all these are fractals. The purpose underlying the studies into chaos and fractals is to find evidence of the objective laws governing systems which are seemingly unpredictable and absolutely chaotic. The goal of this book is to focus the geometry knowledge obtained in school on the development of fractal thinking. This includes problems in fractal geometry, whose realization leads to the creation of basic structures of the most famous fractals. Through the modelling of fractals we begin to review our understanding of objects, which only look unpredictable. We are introduced to the basics of complex processes, in order to better comprehend them. It turns out, that behind the existence of a complex model, there lies a simple process of creation, through the repetition of fundamental elements. Thus, we can predict the objective laws governing the chaotic systems and processes that surround us.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Effectiveness of the legal sector is highly relying on the coordination of collaborative workflow activities to cope with highly dynamic and complex information exchanges among different partners. In the context of ever increasing number of legal cases and roles offering different legal services, we have discovered the appropriateness of the adaptation of Workflow Management Systems in legal sector to address the resulting complexities and performance issues in legal service collaborations. In this work, a Legal Collaboration Modelling Framework has been introduced with the objective of facilitating the foundational requirement for setting up workflow systems in legal sector. In the proposed framework, a set of primitive transaction patterns have been developed in align with UN/CEFACT¿s proposal for generic business collaboration modelling. The two main contributions of this work are a collaboration modelling framework and application areas of the framework in district courts legal process modelling. The proposed framework was semantically rich enough for composing complex multi-party legal collaborations with promising results in workflow coordination.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Developing targeted genome regulation approaches holds much promise for accelerating trait discovery and development in agricultural biotechnology. The type II CRISPR/Cas system has been adapted for genome editing and transcriptional modulation purposes across a variety of organisms. Here, we employed this system for targeted transcriptional regulation in planta by developing chimeric dCas9-based activators and repressors. By fusing activator and repressor domains to the C-terminus of dCas9, respectively, we generated transcriptional activators: dCas9.EDLL and dCas9.TAD, as well as transcriptional repressor: dCas9.SRDX. Our data demonstrate that the dCas9.EDLL and dCas9.TAD activators, guided by gRNAs complementary to promoter elements, induce strong transcriptional activation on episomal targets in plant cells. Moreover, our data suggest that the dCas9.SRDX repressor and the dCas9.EDLL and dCas9.TAD activators are capable of markedly repressing or activating, respectively, the transcription of an endogenous genomic target. Our data indicate that the CRISPR/dCas9:TFs DNA targeting system can be used in plants as a functional genomic tool and for biotechnological applications.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the last three decades Translation Studies have focused on the process of translation and on the manipulation of a source text when it is transported into the target language. How and how much is a text manipulated during this process What are the most crucial challenges that translators have to face The author dealt with these and other questions when she translated Nick Dear's play Lunch in Venice into Italian (Pranzo a Venezia) for the Teatro Litta in Milan. From 2005 to 2013 the Litta's Connections Project (which started at London's National Theatre) gave secondary-school students the chance of working on and staging a play written specifically for them. The experience at the Teatro Litta is the case study of this work: drawing on the works by Susan Bassnett, André Lefevere, Franco Aixelà and David Johnston, the manipulation of the source text Lunch in Venice is analysed. A crucial part of this work is the account of the experience during the rehearsals of Pranzo a Venezia where, thanks to the young actors' suggestions, the performability of the play was ensured. This analysis should be useful to theatre translators and to anybody interested in the process of translation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -According to statistics, seventy percent of all UK schools have a bereaved child on roll at any one time. But despite findings such as these, an alarming divide appears to exist in the pedagogical world between the ideologies of providing effective pastoral care and the drive to exceed academic attainment levels; in arguable favour of capitalist gain. Whilst teachers may be unfairly accused of potentially neglecting the welfare of children within their care, other leading factors such as the restrictions on school budgetting and the evolution of governmental ideals should not be overlooked. This research project will therefore investigate the extent of which teachers are prepared as a result of training to meet the needs of bereaved children and young people in their care and whether existing training provision; in itself, is adequate enough in meeting the diverse needs of today's generation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Our research focuses on parenting styles in contemporary families and their presumed influence on how children solve moral dilemmas. This influence reflects the moral development of adolescents as well as their attitudes towards citizenship in our society. We used three questionnaires during the research: The Moral Dilemma Questionnaire is based on the frequency of individual answers to the dilemmas given, we formulated statements for the questionnaires and implemented the Likert Scale for each of them. The Citizen + Change Questionnaire focuses on the attitudes of adolescents towards the behavior of a citizen and his/her virtues and vices. The Parents' Behavior Questionnaire consists of a number of items based on the results of factor analysis. Our research sample consisted of 337 boys and 302 girls (N = 639) aged 12-17. The independent variables were age, sex, place of residence, number of siblings and family structure. The results show that adolescents analyze themselves based on the best and worst practices of their parents. This critical analyses shapes their values and attitudes in their behavior and their positions in society, community, citizenship, and moral development.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The need for environmental protection has evolved into a call for businesses and the larger society to be financially, socially and environmentally responsible. This concept, largely known as sustainability and has become a major aspect of not only the business world but the academic field also. Researchers have found that sustainability in the form of corporate sustainable development is needed especially in the oil and gas industry. This book looks at how far such companies in that industry have come as regards sustainability. The research is built around what sustainability means, what it used to be, how it has evolved and how oil and gas companies deal with the financial, social and environmental issues surrounding their operations. Employing the triple bottom line principle of sustainable development, this research assesses and analyses the financial, social and environmental performance of companies in the United Kingdom and Nigerian oil and gas industries. Summarily, the growing awareness on social and environmental issues has caused even conglomerates to 'sit up' and focused on not only being financially profitable but also socially and environmentally responsible.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Self-assembly of neutral Rhenium(I)-based supramolecules via orthogonal-bonding approach in an one-pot process under solvothermal condition is achieved in high yields. Various types of assemblies can be created based on the nuclearity of the luminophore including bimetallic, trimetallic materials, rectangles, cages and boxes. The structural characteristics of the ligands as well as the metal centers present in the neutral supramolecules allow easy tuning of their emission properties. The neutral supramolecular structures are unique in their well-defined shapes and sizes and would be expected to function as a host with a large internal cavity sizes generated by the tailored ligands. Hence, the presence of photophysical properties and the cavity sizes of these neutral supramolecules make them intriguing hosts for guest molecules. This monograph provides an overview of the structures, properties and applications of neutral rhenium(I)-based supramolecules.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.
