Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Several studies done previously have revealed that instructional materials are inadequate and therefore not significantly available in the teaching and learning of Kiswahili in most of the secondary schools in Kenya. Kiswahili teachers are forced to adopt the verbalistic and theoretical methods as a way of teaching and learning the subject. This lowers the moral, concentration and the interest of the learners in Kiswahili instruction. This book demonstrates the importance of integrating instructional materials in teaching and learning of Kiswahili subject. This creates an enjoyable and effective teaching and learning environment. The writer has managed to put together various fascinating strategies and methods that are very effective when used in teaching or learning Kiswahili. The book has also discussed various solutions to the challenges encountered by Kiswahili teachers in their line of duty. This book will therefore be very beneficial to various stakeholders in education including curriculum planners, Kiswahili teachers and learners as well as other researchers interested in demystifying the teaching and learning of Kiswahili globally. 144 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Tourism has brought development for Bali¿s economy for many years, however, the economic impacts of tourism development have not been fully beneficial for the Balinese community. One of the causes is tourism leakage. Previous book calculated leakage from micro (industrial level). In this book, tourism leakage from Bali¿s accommodation is calculated at the macro (provincial) level by using SAM Hotels of Bali 2010. The results showed that the highest percentage of tourism leakage was found on 4&5 Star-rated chain hotels (55.32%), followed by 1,2&3 Star-rated hotels (15.66%), and 4&5 Star non-chain hotels (7.15%). The lowest leakage was on Non-star rated hotels (2.0%). These results indicate that 4&5 Star-rated chain hotels bring about more tourism leakage as they use many imported goods and services, foreign labour as well as capital ownership. Therefore, less revenue from tourism will be received by the host or local community, as more profits from tourism will go to outside of the region or country. The results showed that sources of tourism leakage on accommodation sector are capital ownership of accommodation, payment for imported goods and services as well as foreign labours.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Many states in Africa have adopted legislative, administrative and institutional measures to combat trafficking in human beings. These measures include, among other things, the formulation and implementation of both national and regional action plans by African states to provide for comprehensive and coordinated interventions. Many African countries have also enacted an anti-trafficking legislation at the country level. Despite these measures, African women and children have been trafficked annually worldwide for purposes of forced labor, sexual exploitation, and domestic servitude. Additionally, women and children are trafficked within their countries from rural to urban areas. Misconception and abuse of African tradition and culture have been one of the underlying root causes of human trafficking. Cultural practices, such as forcing young girls into ritual servitude, Trokosi (slaves to the Gods), Wahaya (fifth wife), Ukuthwala (kidnapping girls for marriage), payments of dowry, male dominance, female genital cutting, witchcraft, and child marriage, perpetuate the crime of human trafficking.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In communication networks, security is traditionally divided into three categories: integrity, confidentiality and availability. Potentially, optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) system may provide both confidentiality and availability protection. Therefore, OCDMA has been seen as a superior candidate to offer confidentiality. However, OCDMA techniques still suffer from inherent security disadvantages, such as eavesdropping by an attacker with specific device to intercept and recover the transmitted signals that has been encoded. In this book, a scheme of signature code reconfiguration over OCDMA network is proposed to enhance multiple-users data transmission security.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In nature, freshwater prawn migrates from river to brackishwater for breeding and the juveniles return back to the river system for growth and development. Prawn move upstream, entering lakes and even paddy fields. Migration of the prawns is induced according to the physiological conditions which are mainly controlled by light intensity and water current. Though biology and physiology of prawns have been discussed at large, no effort has been made so far to study those characteristic behaviors of prawns. Findings of this investigation may help in formulating new strategies while planning and designing water control structures or barrages across the fresh water rivers in estuarine/coastal areas so as to minimize their adverse impact on prawn migration to upstream river side which is essential for completion of prawn life cycle. This study may be also useful in evolving a new system for efficient collection of the prawn brooders/ berried female from the natural resources as well as culture ponds. Apart from being a fundamental research, this investigation has applied values in further development of prawn aquaculture.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

This workshop helps deal with personal pains, hurt and anger, in less extreme circumstances. The exercises in this workshop were also designed to help them do so. It can be adapted as a second level AVP or Trauma Consciousness and Resilience (TCR) workshop which helps participants deal with the psychosocial impact of trauma and other hurts which can form blocks to forgiveness and reconciliation, thus allowing them to move on and continue with their lives. Such personal hurts need to be dealt with before facilitators can help others to overcome similar issues. Experiential methods are used throughout allowing participants to reflect and share their own experience, so that they can learn from it and from the experience of others, while establishing strong links with others in the group for mutual support. The workshop can be offered as a 5, 3- or 2-day workshop, and agendas for both are presented here. Obviously the advantage of the longer workshop is that it allows participants more time to reflect and absorb the learning that takes place, as well as covering more ground.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The emergence of co-operatives the world over was borne out of the need to deal with challenges created by failures in the economies. Its values are based on self-help, self-responsibility, equality, equity and solidarity. Performance of co-operative societies is observed in their roles in the soc-economic and political lives of people. It has been an effective tool for poverty eradication, wealth and job creation and rural development. Studies have shown that it is only a well managed co-operative that can ensure performance. Leaders are expected to exhibit behaviour which should ensure that set objectives of the societies are achieved. The study assessed the relationship between the dimensions of leader behaviour and performance of cooperative societies in Lagos area. Among the findings of the study is that no single dimension of behaviour works in all situation, rather, appropriate behaviour is a function of circumstances at a given time; and that situation influences a leader¿s behaviour just as it moderates the effect of a leader¿s trait. The study is significant in that aspiring leaders will find inspiration in the espoused leadership qualities and dimensions identified.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -There are many peoples who claim to invent some aspects of Grobner theory. The major step was taken by B. Buchberger in the mid of sixties. He formulated the concept of Grobner basis and extends the suggestions of his advisor W. Grobner. The introduction of Grobner basis is analogous to the introduction of i as a solution of the equation x + 1 = 0.Similarly for solving the Ideal Membership problem in polynomial rings the Grobner basis for ideal was introduced. But one can see that the vast arrays of other problems are also solved by using Grobner basis.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The main aims of this book are to explore if location in a development regions and the type of a territorial administrative unit have a significant influence on local revenue mobilization (calculated as the ratio between the total amounts collected at the local budget divided by the total amounts that were predicted at the beginning of the budgetary year). As such, the revenue collection levels of all 3228 Romanian territorial-administrative units are analyzed for the 2008-2011 budgetary years according to the eight development regions (at the NUTS 2 level) and the type of a local institution (commune, city, municipality, county or sector). The data analysis includes both descriptive/exploratory techniques (Tukey Boxplots and central tendency analyses) and confirmatory statistical procedures (One Way ANOVA with post-hoc analyses). The research provides consistent evidence that Romanian development regions have a statistically significant effect on the levels of revenue collection at the local level, while the type of a local institution does not affect revenue mobilization. Further implications are also discussed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 124 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The success of software projects has been widely studied in both academia and industry. One of the key reasons behind it is software defectiveness. This dissertation starts from surveying many studies that have addressed this problem. We observe that many structural, process, managerial, and technical factors can influence the occurrence of software defects. Among them, we identify 67 factors, related to the structure and organizational processes used in a company, and use them to study the problem on 22 real projects carried out in a company. We gathered data on the whole software process from code repositories, project leaders, and team members. We interacted with more than 130 people to collect data starting from requirements elicitation to the delivery of the final, production code. The analysis conjugate the state of the art in academia with a real context and a business oriented perspective. The obtained results are interesting and provide significant suggestions to help any company rethink the software development and management process in the future.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.
