Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In 2005, Ethiopia adopted and thrived by adjusting the East Asian State-Led Developmental State Model to reflect its own historical conditions, enhance economic growth, and wipe out poverty. As a result, Ethiopiäs Developmental State Model has created miraculous economic growth over the last fifteen years. Currently, Ethiopia is faced with abysmal economic and political upheaval, as well as ethnic strife, because the country¿s chief engine of growth¿the Developmental State Model¿has been cracking due to administrative obsolescence. If the recent wide-scale economic crisis is not addressed immediately, it could ultimately disrupt Ethiopiäs political legitimacy. Therefore, as other developmental countries have done, this book focuses on structural changes of the existing Developmental State Model and initiates a hybrid paradigm that could steer the country toward sustainable development.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 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 -Chronic bacterial colonization or infection of the wound is one of the major factors interfering proper wound healing, especially in diabetic foot ulcers. Certain fly larvae can infest corpses or the wounds of live hosts. Those which are least invasive on live hosts have been used therapeutically, to remove dead tissue from wounds, and promote healing. With the introduction of other debridement agents and antibiotics, maggot therapy fell out of favor, however, medicinal use of the maggots is recently increasing around the world, due to its efficacy, safety, and simplicity. The maggot therapy has been used for debridement of necrotic tissues, however, no formal experimental studies were conducted for potential antimicrobial properties. This a prospective randomized experimental study that assesses the potential antimicrobial properties of maggots in vitro.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

The chosen tests and methods complement each other, are interrelated and allow seeing more clearly the connection between a psychological personality portrait of a patient, his/her methods of interaction with the environment and surrounding people, his/her internal conflicts, stresses and psychological traumas and a disease symptom. We also hope this book helps to patients for more trusting specialists providing treatment, for better understanding causes of his/her disease and possible way of recovery. We express our sincere gratitude to each patient who gave his/her consent to publishing data of the research.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

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 -'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 -Marijuana legalization has been an intensely debated topic in American politics for most of the last one hundred years. Evolving from a substance illegally used primarily by immigrant laborers and jazz musicians, into a multi-billion dollar a year semi-legal industry. Along the way many people have been subjugated to laws and policies made based on misunderstandings and incomplete information. Recent changes to laws within the American states, as well as at the Federal level, have open the door for new policy and a new flow of science backed information to become more accessible to the current or potential consumer of marijuana. In addition to compiling and reviewing the path that marijuana has taken, from the early 1900s into the beginnings of the 21st century, through American society this text will also review marijuana's role in the larger context of American and international drug culture. It is the author's hope that this text can offer a realistic overview for the uninformed who is curious about why this has been, and continues to be, such a major part of American society and American governmental operations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.
