Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The academic paper deals with theoretical and methodological basics of forming individual¿s competitiveness under the new conditions of world challenges requiring new approaches to defining leaders. It generalizes the list of the most common ratings and indices that determine the competitiveness of goods, services, enterprises, industries and national economies. Their classification into groups has been carried out. It has been concluded that among them there is not any index with the help of which it would be possible to determine the most versatile and successful individuals by certain spaces of their life activity. For the first time, the author has suggested a methodology of calculating points by certain environments and their summing up to obtain ICI ¿ individual¿s competitiveness index.The academic publication will be useful for civil service bodies, top managers of companies, heads of enterprises, organizations and institutions, in fact for all scholars, entrepreneurs and public employees.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The book addresses the global public health issue of childhood obesity, with a particular focus on Taiwan, where rising obesity rates among children are increasingly concerning. It highlights the challenges that obesity poses to children's physical and mental well-being, which in turn negatively impact their quality of life. Drawing on data from Taiwan's National Health Administration, the book contrasts obesity rates between boys and girls and examines how global media influences body image perceptions. It explores the connections between childhood obesity and psychological issues such as low self-esteem and depression, prevalent in both Western and non-Western societies.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book explores indigenous spirituality from an African perspective. It is based on a research aimed at broadening the understanding of indigenous spiritual experiences in Nigeria, particularly in light of Christian missionary activities during the first half of the twentieth century. By applying form-descriptive and mystagogic methodologies to four biographies, different levels of divine-human relationships were discerned, revealing enduring features of indigenous spirituality within historical contexts. The findings provide evidence of authentic indigenous spirituality, grounded in time and unique conditions specific to certain places. This work serves as a testimony to how the dynamism of the human spirit in indigenous communities shaped and guided responses to their deepest yearnings and fostered deep resilience in the face of unexpected interruptions over time. Past experience snippets of indigenous spirituality are examined in the present through the lens of Christian missionaries, and some features are discerned for their relevance in the future.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -I do stress that the following is not a generalization of quantum mechanics as it is. It is a theory based on different mathematical structures and different physically meaningful definitions. Thus, I am trying to keep off such poor terminology like ¿hidden variables¿, ¿system in a state¿, ¿quantum computing¿, maybe some more. Instead of speaking about ¿quantum computing¿ the corresponding computational area will be identified as Geometric Algebra Supercomputing, with the acronym GASC. I address with my work to those who are not brainwashed by N. Bohr and his adepts into thinking that the question of quantum mechanics is solved, and to young brave students not zombied-out yet with Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics and not being afraid to be considered as heretics, pariahs by the physicists¿ majority. I do also encourage all of them by saying that physical phenomena are happening in real world not in Hilbert space. It is also good to remember Max Planck¿s words: ¿A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it¿.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The rapid development of the internet has shifted retailing from offline to online, making it crucial for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to leverage online sales channels to reach a broader audience and stay competitive. Given their limited financial resources, SMEs must make smart investments to avoid long-term risks. This book examines whether reducing latency and adopting mobile payments in e-commerce positively impact customer loyalty and conversion rates. Using Google Analytics data from 10,000 online shops worldwide over a year, a negative binomial regression revealed that lower latency correlates with higher conversion rates, especially among mobile users, who are more sensitive to delays. The positive effect of mobile payment adoption on consumer spending was confirmed only in the U.S., suggesting cultural or market-specific differences. The study contributes to existing literature by providing a cross-cultural analysis, highlighting the importance of optimizing latency in e-commerce, particularly for mobile users, to enhance conversion rates and customer loyalty.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Enterprises can be based on new competition through innovation. In other words, there will be changes in the competitive trends. Perfect competition is a very strong incentive for society to minimize production costs and bring wages as close as possible to its standard productivity.And the profit obtained from the use of innovations leads to further increase of the activity of the enterprise. Y. Humpeter (1883-1950) called this profit static profit.In this case, economic efficiency is not able to bring production to a new level. The new level is associated with innovation, which requires additional cost.Innovation creates a new type of competition. This situation happens when a new product, a new technology, in general has some kind of novelty, advantage.Innovator begins to destroy the livelihood of other enterprises. Because a competitor operating on the basis of innovation leaps ahead of others and can become a monopolist in its field. Y. Schumpeter called it 'creative corruption'.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Supercapacitors are very important kind of electrochemical energy storage devices. It differs from those of batteries and exhibit high power density. The energy storage in supercapacitors is influenced by many parameters like nature of electrode material, current collector, electrolyte etc. among which most crucial is the morphology of the electrode. Based on the type of energy storage mechanism supercapacitors are divided as Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors and Pseudocapacitors. There is a practice to have both kind of these materials as electrode materials to achieve high electrochemical performance. Typically metal oxides and hydroxides of transition metals show high capacitances due to their variable oxidation states. In this regard, cobalt compounds have been focused a lot. This makes most of the research works are targeting designing cobalt based compounds adopting new routes of synthesis, modifying the regular methods so on. Herein we discuss the fundamentals of supercapacitors, their design and approaches to obtain high performance electrode materials using differently synthesized cobalt related compounds.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.
