Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study investigated the establishment potential of Juncus effusus on various substrates. To this end, a laboratory experiment was set up using two species of sphagnum moss and three treatments: 100% initial coverage, 80% initial coverage, without capitula, and uncovered peat without sphagnum moss. In addition, field data on plant development in Hankhausen were analysed. The contribution of the seeds contained in the sphagnum moss seed to Juncus development was tested in a germination trial of sphagnum moss seed from Hankhausen. Data from earlier germination trials (2008-2009 and 2012) were also evaluated. The results confirm the important role of a Juncus seed bank within the sphagnum moss seed. The germination behaviour of Juncus varies depending on the time of collection. The most important measures for reducing Juncus cover are recommended to be a higher initial cover of sphagnum moss and mowing of the vascular plants before the Juncus seeds mature. A need for further research was identified. 52 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The development of pharmaceutical substances designed to suppress gastric digestion represents a medical milestone in the treatment of chronic dyspeptic symptoms. Due to the steadily rising number of prescriptions for prescription-only medicines, as well as the increasing availability of over-the-counter equivalents for self-medication, health problems seemingly associated with these potent active ingredients are on the rise. But is there actually a causal link between the development of food allergies and the use of acid-suppressing medicines Numerous experimental studies and human trials have revealed a correlation between the use of sucralfate, histamine 2 (H2) receptor blockers and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and the prevalence of food allergies. Antacid medications appear to increase the risk of sensitisation to proteins and, furthermore, to exacerbate symptoms in individuals already diagnosed with allergies. In addition, acid suppression is thought to increase the hypersensitisation potential of other medications. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The use and conversion of biomass for energy offers great potential for sustainably meeting the world's growing energy needs. Various processes make it possible to produce energy carriers in different physical states. In particular, the controlled gasification of biomass provides a good starting point for producing gaseous or liquid energy carriers from synthesis gas. Since the raw gas produced during gasification must first be purified and conditioned, it is necessary at various points in the process chain to measure and verify the composition and quality of the gas stream. In this context, the tar content plays a particularly decisive role, as it must be critically evaluated from both a plant and a process perspective. This thesis begins by discussing the theoretical foundations of the thermochemical conversion of biomass and various methods for measuring the tar content in gas streams. This is followed by a documentation of the design and construction of an automated sampling system. The thesis concludes with a summary and an outlook regarding the gasification of biomass. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The aim is to study the preparation and analysis of PVA/PEI/PEG hybrid membranes in terms ofCO2 and N2 gas permeation. PVA and PEI have an important capacity to form extended hydrogen bonds, which reduces membrane crystallinity and improves miscibility between PVA and PEI. Polyethylene glycol also interacts with PVA via hydrogen bonds, but these interactions are weaker as the hydrogen bond acceptor (ether O) has a much lower acceptor capacity than PEI (amine H). This explains the low miscibility and phase separation observed between PVA and PEG. Differential scanning calorimetry experiments revealed a decrease in PVA crystallinity due to these interactions.The removal of nitrate ions by PUROLITE A 520 E anion exchange resin and by cross-ion dialysis were studied. I proposed to study an example of desalination of low-salinity water by pervaporation, as well as the diagnosis of a reverse osmosis desalination unit. 88 pp. Englisch.…

It highlights the limits of current urban policies and explores the strategic role of the social economy.Cooperatives, associations and mutuals thus appear as essential levers for strengthening social inclusion and building fairer, more inclusive cities. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The debate surrounding learning organisations is becoming increasingly intense and is gaining ever greater attention and significance. One reason for this is the growing competitive pressure and the resulting need for social enterprises to identify warning signs as early as possible and respond appropriately. At the heart of learning organisations lies the underlying assumption that, within a social enterprise, all members possess the ability to acquire, develop and build upon knowledge and skills. This enables learning processes to emerge in which both the individual and the social enterprise as a whole are involved and engaged. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -An SME is an organizational system characterized by a division of labor and coordination; it is a social construct with rules, customs, power dynamics, and a corporate culture. The human resources function is present, either through personnel administration or in a more strategic form, Human Resources Management. The hypothesis put forward is that, in the absence of Human Resources Management, intrapreneurship appears to be an effective way to develop the capabilities of this type of company and enables succession planning. The study focuses on a family-owned SME that has been in operation for over 32 years. When I was called in to resolve a recruitment challenge, I discovered that the real issue was unresolved succession regarding both assets and management. In the absence of a decision-maker and a consistent human resources policy, everyone focuses their efforts on a technical aspect without taking a step back to consider the overall management of the company. Intrapreneurship then emerged as a transitional solution toward a structured succession plan involving the appointment of a manager with full authority. 56 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Differences in national legislation across Member States mean that a product may have different purposes and definitions, and therefore be treated differently in one Member State compared to its country of origin. Consequently, if a product is defined differently, it may face difficulties in being marketed in various EU markets. This paper focuses on the demarcation of borderline products, medicinal products, medical devices, cosmetics, biocides and foodstuffs. This demarcation is often regulated differently across Member States. Consequently, the functioning of the internal market may be impeded. The main thesis of this paper is that differing definitions can act as a restriction on the single market. The question arises as to whether a body should be established at EU level to be responsible for matters of definition, in order to facilitate the movement of goods in line with the single market. This paper proposes this as a possible solution. 56 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The teaching of literary works in high schools and middle schools in Benin remains a major problem, especially since the works included in the curriculum are sometimes not addressed with students in the classroom. This observation was made during our professional certification internship, where we noted that current classroom practices do not truly incorporate the study of poetic works; in other words, teachers show a lack of interest in teaching poetry in their classrooms. However, this situation has the obvious consequence of fostering students' aversion to poetry. In light of these observations, we have chosen to focus on the study of poetic works in our middle and high schools. Using Victor Hugo's work 'Les rayons et les ombres' as a starting point, we analyzed the difficulties associated with studying this work in order to propose solutions. Our objective is to offer some modest reflections on teaching approaches capable of facilitating the study of poetic works, thereby enabling teachers to easily tackle the teaching of poetry in our middle and high schools. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The galant style in piano music is the most important precursor to the Viennese Classical period, which represents a crucial stylistic era for pianists. In this book, the author aims primarily to shed light on the performance and key attributes of the galant style, as well as the philosophy underpinning it. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, as well as Johann Joachim Quantz and Daniel Gottlob Türk, provide very clear guidelines on how to interpret music in the galant style. For this reason, the author is particularly keen in his work to shed light on those aspects of piano playing (from the time of C. Ph. E. Bach) that remain relevant to this day. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the question of which preventive measures can be implemented in primary school education to ensure that children benefit from them in the long term. It also describes the role of the teacher when sexual abuse is suspected. The consequences for the child's development and the ways in which these manifest are outlined in the study, as they are observable from the outside and thus provide an initial indication of suspected child sexual abuse. To dispel myths such as: 'Watch out for nasty, strange men! They're dangerous,' the work clearly demonstrates that all adults can be perpetrators, but equally, all children can become victims. The paper describes how a teacher should act in the event of a suspicion. It is important here that the child's welfare is at the centre of all actions. Materials are described and presented to counteract the social taboo surrounding 'sexuality'. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This thesis, entitled 'Austria and the United Kingdom: Artistic and Curatorial Case Studies of National Contributions on the Theme of 'National Identity' at the Venice Biennale', focuses on an examination of two contributions to the Venice Biennale. In 1993, Austria's Biennale contribution 'Stellvertreter/Represantatives/Rappresentanti.', featuring Austria's 'foreign artists', caused just as much of a stir as Britain's Jeremy Deller managed to do with his presentation of 'The English Magic' in the British Pavilion in 2013. In their artistic concepts, the two curators, the Austrian Peter Weibel and the British Emma Gifford-Mead, had attempted to give expression to the concept of the 'national idea' in different ways. The study examined which phenomena and characteristics emerged with and through the emphasis on the 'national idea' in a direct comparison of the contributions from Austria and the UK within the context of the historical and political development of the Venice Biennale. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The subject of this paper is the examination of certain issues arising from the adoption of the First Council Directive 89/104/EEC of 21 December 1988 to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks (OJ 1989 L 40, p. 1). The aim of the Directive was to harmonise trade mark protection within the EU. The chosen linguistic versions gave rise to a number of ambiguities, which subsequently had to be clarified at European Union level through preliminary ruling proceedings. The specific nature of trade mark protection and the differing interests that must be taken into account in each individual case - given the form of the Directive, which granted Member States a not insignificant degree of discretion in its implementation, as well as problems arising from the outset due to the use of differing terms - have resulted in a multitude of judgments in which individual terms of the Trade Mark Directive have been repeatedly redefined and clarified. It was not until 27 March 2013 that the European Commission presented a proposal for a recast of the Trade Mark Directive. It remains to be seen where these efforts will lead. 56 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The solid waste produced at UFMG's Pampulha campus is disposed of in various ways. Waste from the maintenance of green spaces is sent for composting and to landfill, whilst the majority of food waste is disposed of under conditions about which little is known. At the same time, the lack of characterisation of the organic compost produced at the university means it has to deal with a material about which little is known regarding its effectiveness as a fertiliser and its potential hazards. Assuming composting as an alternative for the disposal of green solid waste (GSW) and food waste generated at UFMG, this book, the result of a monograph produced in partnership with various university departments, summarises the fundamentals of the process and contextualises organic waste management on campus within the framework of public policies for solid waste management. At the same time, it introduces an innovative method for incorporating food waste into compost piles and evaluates the physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics of the fertiliser produced using only SGW, as well as when food waste is incorporated and at different turning frequencies. 56 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Bioremediation is a technology that has been proven to be effective in decontaminating environments polluted with toxic compounds, such as petroleum hydrocarbons. However, the success of this biotechnology requires that microorganisms metabolically capable of utilising the pollutants as a source of carbon and energy have access to these compounds, and that ideal environmental conditions are established for the growth and maintenance of microbial populations. In this book, we evaluate the efficiency of petroleum hydrocarbon biodegradation in culture media by bacterial isolates, in pure cultures and in consortia, and subsequently assess the population dynamics of the bacterial consortium and the degradation profile of petroleum hydrocarbons (C12-C22) in soil contaminated with diesel oil, in response to temperature, humidity and nutrient availability. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Allergy is defined as a condition characterised by an immune system response to an exogenous antigen, involving the production of IgE antibodies against it. Due to the similarity between the immune response to helminths and IgE-mediated allergic diseases, there is intense debate regarding the relationship between these parasites and allergy. We assessed 404 children in the town of Veríssimo, in both urban and rural areas. The occurrence of atopic conditions (asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis) was clinically assessed using the ISAAC questionnaire, serum levels of total IgE and specific IgE against the allergens Der p1-2, Per a7 and tropomyosin from Ascaris and dust mites. The concentration of total or specific IgE did not vary in any of the allergic conditions analysed or between individuals from rural or urban areas. However, we observed a positive correlation between the concentration of total IgE and that of anti-Der p1-2 IgE. There was a positive correlation between IgE production against Per a7 antigens and Ascaris tropomyosin antigens. The lack of difference in the parameters analysed between the populations may be because the city studied is a rural municipality, where there are no significant discrepancies between rural areas. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Foreign exchange reserves are crucial to a country's financial and economic stability. This study uses the ARDL model to analyze the determinants of foreign exchange reserves between 1992 and 2022, based on 30 annual observations. The results show a positive influence of external debt, inflation, foreign direct investment flows and workers' remittances. On the other hand, the balance of current payments and the official exchange rate exert a negative influence. The main objective of this research is to determine the optimal composition of foreign exchange reserves in Tunisia for the pre- and post-pandemic periods, focusing on the currencies USD, EUR, JPY and GBP, then adding CNY, inspired by its inclusion in the SDR currency basket by the IMF.The results reveal that the optimal composition of the BCT's target portfolio, changed between the two periods studied. An increase in the share of JPY and a slight decrease in the shares of USD, EUR and GBP were observed. 88 pp. Englisch. …
