Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This Book will examine the output of a new scientific discipline by integrating mathematics with human and social academic disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, sociology, economics and political science. The theory that can only be obtained by looking at human relations and social interactions as an engineering interaction that can be expressed in mathematical equations. The hypothesis is to look at human in the same way we look at matter or material objects, or in other words, expression of philosophy and social human interaction mathematically. We can convert all of these mathematical equations into algorithms that can be programmed (by means of software programs) and used by computer simulations and modeling of human social interactions, through which we can predict the behavior of societies. Consequently; we can form a new paradigm for international relations that can be simulated and controlled by computer programs. The main objective of this science is to activate the international community and bring international balance and peace through an international equation that can be called ' Global Peace Equation '. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The way how a human being thinks in all its aspects and variations is a problem not solved so far. The scientific approach in this matter presumes that thinking of a human being is free and independent. However this assumption is in contradiction with objective reality. A collective subconsciousness occurs, that is located in the invisible fields outside (beyond) from human beings. This collective subconsciousness dictates thoughts and feelings to humans in an unnoticed way and humans become to act somewhat like robots (also in panic and war). This collective subconsciousness dictates also the rules of behaviour and morality, without what the society could collapseBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The private sector has played and continues to play a decisive role in the shaping of policy-making concerning knowledge-based goods. The result is an unequal battle between access to knowledge and enclosure favouring the latter over the former. Such an unbalanced scenario chiefly affects the South, but has implications for the public everywhere. The Development Agenda of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and which has been advocated for and designed by developing countries governments in collaboration with a coalition of governments, academics, civil society and public interest NGOs from both North and South, is an attempt to bring a balance to this scenario. However, the Development Agenda is encountering opposition and despite the unique nature of the coalition backing it, the outcome is uncertain.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The rapidly changing business world, due to developments in ICT has given rise to entirely new types of firms and internationalization processes. In the context of service firms, their internationalization pattern differs from those of multinational enterprises, which traditional internationalization theories have been based upon, and questions whether traditional theories can explain the internationalization process of service firms. To answer this question, the present study used the case study approach to study two Estonian service SMEs (Nortal and Bolt) that had internationalized. The findings revealed that the service firms follow different internationalization patters both inline and in contrast to what had been proposed in traditional internationalization theories. The study also presents evidence to show that the choice for a particular market, is based on firm specific selection criteria. The study also revealed that psychic distance and a firm¿s value creation competence influence the choice of markets at the initial stages of internationalization. Finally, the study makes specific recommendations for policy makers and managerial practices.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Recently, a top United Nations official, Stephen O'Brian, says famine in four countries could soon become the worst global crisis since the Second World War. In 2019, the UN estimates more than twenty million people faced starvation famine and declared that millions are at risk in Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Sudan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. Starvation is a silent killer. This book documents the starvation crisis of 2008 in Ethiopia and argues that it should have been prevented.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The signals order of the standard traffic light is green, yellow/ amber, red, and return to the green signal becomes a cycle. The Norwegian traffic light is more complicated than the standard traffic light. The Norwegian traffic light has one more stage, i.e., red-yellow that lights simultaneously. This state is at the end of the red signal. The modification of the Norwegian traffic light changes the fourth stage into a light yellow color only. This study investigates the structural complexity of the control system based its Petri net model. The structural complexity is the indicator of interrelationship in a system. The improvements in the functions of the devices increase in system complexity. The structural complexity of the Norwegian traffic light control system is the highest, and the second is its modification. The standard traffic light is the lowest. Both the Norwegian and the modification of the Norwegian traffic lights have a steady downward trend in complexity approaching ideal while the number of phases and features increases. However, the traffic lights of a standard type, its complexity fluctuates.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The ecological status of rivers is of major importance for the surrounding aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In order to identify potential threats to the ecology of rivers, it is important to assess and monitor the status of the ecology of rivers. In the present book we applied a river classification method to a case study in Southern Iceland. The method has been used in Austria and Switzerland and accordingly had to be adapted to Icelandic conditions. For this purpose we developed four categories of ecological status and categorised all river sections of the case study accordingly. We used the Hróarslækur river close to the town of Hella as a representative case study to test our method. Besides classifying the river sections we also measured electrical conductivity and water temperature to assess some preliminary water quality observations. Our study concludes by assessing the overall ecological status of the Hróarslækur river. The weighted ecological evaluation of all river sections of the Hróarslækur fall into the highest ecological class defined, indicating the good ecologically condition of the river.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -As a surgeon Acute Appendicitis has always given me a challenge, whether it is in the diagnosis or in the management. The varied presentations and the close proximity to different pathologies make acute appendicitis one of the most challenging acute surgical conditions.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The use of monuments as future-relics to validate and preserve the identity of Afro-Caribbean people within the Anglophone Caribbean is the premise for the conceptual and physical development of my studio practice. My book is about this practice and how the art work that I make, function in the way they are intended. The work monumentalizes Black identity in an effort to mirror the significance and resilience of the Black self within the Caribbean; a space that was created by Europeans to enrich their respective Empires. I put forward the use of established canonical art practices as a methodology to map one culture unto the other as a way of presenting the Black narrative to the Black viewer.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -'You Bosnians (¿) you love your homeland, but in three or four different ways which are mutually exclusive, often come to blows, and hate each other to death'. Although long before the ethnic civil war of the early 1990s, it is already in such words that Ivo Andric describes social cohesion in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Thus, the starting point of this research is the dissonance between the prima facie fragile nationhood in Bosnia on the one hand, and the European Union¿s response on the other hand, focused mostly on structural and technical state reforms. The first chapter is devoted to the EU member-state-building policy in Bosnia and identifies various pitfalls it may entails. The second chapter seeks to assess the accurate need of reconciliation and nation-building in BiH, thereby questioning the perception of Bosniäs social divisions, lack of cohesion and inability to build political consensus. Finally, chapter 3 explores whether and how does the EU support reconciliation in the country and the implications on BiH¿s accession process. The analysis should help shed some light on the main challenges faced by contemporary Bosnia and offers conclusive policy recommandations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -By submerging ourselves into Beethoven's music we succeeded to replicate Beethoven's advanced stage of consciousness within ourselves. The stage of consciousness is: full awareness of thinking and willing spirit with the center of consciousness located within its thinking element. Willing is rooted in thinking; conscious spirits thinking gradually proceeds to willing (action) whose ultimate purpose is to establish its(=of thinking) ideal content ('result') in the universe. To cognizing spirit, the world of feelings appears as merely an atavistic soul element. It is an inherent knowledge of conscious spirit that his thinking transcends its subjective nature; everything in the universe is accessible to spirit through the intense thinking activity. The universe is perceived as fundamentally conscious. Spirit has absolute certainty in the matter of his freedom.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Artificial coastal defense structures are proliferating in response to various coastal processes such as tidal inundation, sea level rise, land subsidence, erosion, and sedimentation. The current practice of installing coastal defense structures like rock fills; revetments, groins,etc. have transformed the naturally dynamic, erosive and depositional soft shore coastlines into artificially static, hard-substrates. However, these structures provide habitat for many species and support lower biodiversity than natural habitats. It is observed that these zones are colonized by epibiotic organisms such as algae and sessile marine invertebrates that are native to natural rocky habitats while providing refuge and nursery grounds for fish and crustaceans (Duffy-Anderson et al., 2003).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 124 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Dr Benedict Wallet Vilakazi is an African intellectual born at the turn of the century (1906), in Groutville, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. He paved the way for other Black writers who wanted to use their mother-tongue in expressing their views and intellectual opinions. His work, though published in the 1930s, is still relevant to this day. His poetry in particular was more about the unfair treatment of Black people, protest and ways of escaping the sad reality of life experienced by Black people. The language he uses in Amal' eZulu and Inkondlo kaZulu his two anthologies of poetry is indicative of a Zulu speaker proud of his roots, culture and traditions. He longs for the simple life that his ancestors enjoyed. His poetry is also a reflection of his life experience, how death of his loved ones affected him. Bhambatha (as he is affectionately known in the country of his birth) remains an innovator who successfully combined traditional poetry and romanticism.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 124 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The introduction of totally pre-adjusted appliances had a significant impact on edgewise orthodontic treatment. It is important to understand the theoretical aspects of any technological improvement if it is to be used to advantage. On the other hand, theory cannot stand alone in a clinical discipline such as orthodontics. With this in mind, both theoretical considerations and practical clinical applications of pre-adjusted appliances have been contained here. As it is being rightly said, 'The opportunity of greatness lies in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.' That anonymous quote summarizes the purpose of this book i.e. to discuss some of the little things dealing with the management of routine orthodontic treatment that not only can affect the outcome of treatment, but can also make that treatment more efficient and effective. 208 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Periodontitis is associated with hyperactivity of peripheral blood neutrophils, which are supposed to be the predominant source of ROS. Products of lipid peroxidation, protein damage and DNA damage can be used as the biomarkers of oxidative stress associated with periodontitis. Local and systemic activities of antioxidants can also be influenced by periodontitis. Over the past few years, numerous clinical and basic experimental studies have shown a strong association between oxidative stress and periodontitis. Therefore, understanding of this association can give us a deeper insight into the pathogenesis of periodontitis, relationship between periodontitis and systemic inflammation, and therapeutic strategies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.
