Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -To analyze the reform of the pension system in Albania, it is worth mentioning that pension is the amount of income offered to the contributors under an agreement, to take advantage of regular income when due to objective reasons (age or health conditions) are withdrawn from their active economic life. By analyzing the micro and macro indicators, is tended to highlight that reforming of the pension system is the final goal to secure a more financial peaceful life for the third age of population.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Traditionally, beta blockers were perceived to be contraindicated in the treatment of congestive heart failure. This was due to the negative inotropic properties of beta blockers. Recent evidence through extensive research and clinical trials, however, has shown that the administration of beta blockers in certain categories of cardiac failure has tremendous therapeutic benefits. Beta blockers have now become part of the recognised treatment guidelines and regimens for cardiac failure. The perceived risks associated with beta blockers use in heart failure which include worsening of the condition are taken care of by administering the agents under expert supervision and employing a stepwise dose escalating approach. This is the approach whereby there is the initiation of therapy starting with a very low dose of the beta blocker and increasing the dose on a weekly or fortnightly basis until the optimum dose is attained. It gives the patient the chance to tolerate the adverse effects of the drug and maximise on the benefits. Medical students and health practitioners will find this book useful. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This work was borne out from experience with clients at rehabilitation centres during my practicum. I discovered that many of the clients were experiencing psychological and social issues including stress, rejection, isolation, trauma and lack of family support. The counseling sessions provided me with an opportunity to interact with the clients, while encouraging them to move on with increased self awareness and willingness to cope with the issues. In the process of counseling majority of the clients were able to disclose their issues, accept and move on. This book shall go a long way in assisting practicing and prospective counselors to develop suitable counseling skills and techniques for handling a wide range of situations. Clients with similar issues will be able to read and develop an understanding of counseling and appreciate the role of therapists. Thanks to the Almighty God, and all who directly and indirectly contributed to the production of the work.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -From the analysis of the emergence and the management of the global and the sovereign debt crisis useful lessons can be drawn for the design of public policy at EU and national level. After some initial weaknesses in policy action, decisive initiatives by EU authorities, supported by significant progress to strengthen further economic and financial governance and reduce macroeconomic imbalances, succeeded in preserving the stability and integrity of the euro area. While the priority given by the EU policy action to financial stability was fully justified, it is also clear that robust economic growth is essential for durable financial stability and overall welfare. Policies enhancing both stability and growth are possible in EMU and some of them have started being implemented, while others are at an advance state of development. There is ample scope for national economic policies which, if well-designed and properly implemented, will enhance the growth potential of member countries. However, legacy problems such as the excessive government debt burden in some countries must be resolved. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The main objective of this study is to make a comprehensive analysis of the question 'Why is there something rather than nothing ', which is one of the major questions of metaphysics, and to find a plausible answer at the end, if it is possible. To begin this analysis, a clarification of what we understand by this question is needed first. For the clarification, a definition of 'nothingness' will be sought. Afterwards, the motivation for us to ask this question, the significance of it, and the content of it will be investigated. This investigation will help us concentrate on and discuss within the framework of causation and necessity our understanding of 'contingent beings' and 'nothingness'. Two main approaches sought to answer this question till now are by theists and physicists. Those approaches will be discussed and compared. And at the end of the comparative analysis of these two approaches, a metaphysical approach which will be a layer of them will be sought. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Virtual screening refers to a range of 'in-silico' techniques used to search large compound databases to select a smaller number of compounds for biological testing. Promising compounds are then 'docked' to the protein or to the enzyme's active site. Docking search algorithms generate 'poses' (conformation, position and orientation) of the ligand within the active site, while scoring functions identify the most likely pose for an individual ligand and assign a priority order to a set of diverse ligands docked to the same protein, by estimate binding affinity. The aim of this book is to acquaint the reader with the possibilities of screening and docking of different ligands (drugs and pesticides) on the surface of different enzymes. 72 pp. Englisch.

However, impartiality, selectiveness and stigmas can be found in editorials, headlines and fragments during the Brazilian constituency (1985-1988). Keywords like 'social function of property', 'popular' and 'income distribution' were seen as disorganising leftist stereotypes in contrast with what the conservative 'Centrão' used to understand as social order. The objective of the present work is to show how forty-seven pieces of news from different Brazilian printed medias praised the selective parliamentary preparation of the 1988 Brazilian Federal Constitution. Property limit definition is an opportunity to analyse the system of favour, negotiations and privilege revivalisms. The selection of discourses, personal relations, informality, dinners, phone calls and many other parallel legislative mechanisms renovated barony traditionalisms played in the past to perpetuate State power in property issues till today. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Negative atomic ions are often considered to be perfect objects for fundamental studies of photon-matter interactions within many-particle processes. Investigations of the dynamics of photodetachment can provide useful insight to the general problem of correlated motions of electrons in atomic systems. The recent development of the Many-Body Theory approach, namely the method based on Random-Phase approximation and Dyson equation, is reviewed in the book. The case of study on photodetachment with emphasis on resonant features for a series of negative ions and the newest data on inner-shell photodetachment are presented. The results of the concrete calculations for the very sensitive to proper account of the many-electron correlations open-shell negative ions are compared with the available experimental data. The objects chosen present the wide range of the resonance types - strong near-threshold and window resonances, interference and autodetachment resonances, shape and Feschbach resonances - and give the most telling example of importance of the collective effects. With using the Feynman diagram technique the physical meaning of the considered effects becomes especially evident. 88 pp. Englisch.
