Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Conservative treatment of idiopathic scoliosis currently includes spinal bracing and physiotherapeutic scoliosis specific exercises (PSSE), both of which have level 1 evidence in support of their effectiveness. PSSE includes scoliosis specific exercises and maintenance of corrective movements during daily activities. Active self-correction (ASC) is gaining in importance as the time a patient can spend in exercises is becoming less and less and that poor habitual postures may contribute to progression of curves. The book describes and discusses the corrective movements and ASC in activities of daily living, including standing, sitting, carrying bags, kneeling, sport activities and sleeping and the underlying principles. Despite the lack of strong evidence in support of the role of corrective postures, the consensus among scoliosis experts is that ASC and corrective postures form an integral and important part of the conservative treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. 88 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The glycan/glycosaminoglycan glycocalyx around every cell provides a diverse range of recognition motifs which regulate cell behaviour through a variety of linear and branched structures modified with functional groups (sulphation, phosporylation) at variable ring positions. This represents a significant information-dense repository of 'recognition' data encoding a significant level of functional information in what has been termed the glyco-code. Cells can interpret this information in a spatial and temporal manner during tissue morphogenesis. The glyco-code represents an information system rivalling that endoded in RNA/DNA and proteins. With recent advances in glycobiology techniques it is now becoming possible to undertake high throughput analyses to interpret the glyco-code better and insightful information is becoming available of application in repair biology and in strategies to combat viral and bacterial infections. The high precision these techniques provide are now providing the means to answer some important questions in health and disease and will be required to combat the ever increasing impact of such infections in man. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Africa has been a in a perpetual search of economic development ever since the era of independence. The foreign aid contracted under various forms have failed to bring about economic development due to unbearable constitutionality rendering futile and volatile the foreign Aid.None of the alternatives seem fruitful: The hailed homegrown initiatives meant to offer alternatives in socioeconomic development are shrouded by inherent obstacles slowing down economic growth processes. Foreign Aid remain undesirable due to its inability to eradicate poverty despite laudable economic impact it can bring in some selected cases. The governmental organizations have done much to reduce vulnerability in their relief services delivery but, Africa needs more than that.Social entrepreneurship was seen as one of the way out due to their ability to blend for profit and non profit in creating value through their new technological innovation in service delivery despite the fact that Africa needs real infrastructural investment. Public-Private partnerships is here described as a way to go,a possible way out towards economic development of Africa. 56 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book addresses the pertinence of setting any specific end goals for economic transition, examines the point at which a transition can be considered to have completed, and provides a brief insight into how the end goal concepts were redefined over time. Key theoretical concepts and a summary on the state of research on political reform sequencing are presented along with some suggestions as to the practicality of opting for one mode of reform optimisation over another. A comparison of the transition processes in Russia and Poland is presented. Attention is devoted to the early period of transformation for both countries, with particular focus paid to the institutional settings in post-Soviet Russia. Some concluding remarks are drawn with regard to the factors that were instrumental in setting the pace for Poland's relatively quick and successful transition and the factors which caused Russia's transition process to be more protracted and complicated. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -ASP is also an abbreviation for application service provider. An Active Server Page (ASP) is an HTML page that includes one or more scripts (small embedded programs) that are processed on a Microsoft Web server before the page is sent to the user. An ASP is somewhat similar to a server-side include or a common gateway interface (CGI) application in that all involve programs that run on the server, usually tailoring a page for the user. Typically, the script in the Web page at the server uses input received as the result of the user's request for the page to access data from a database and then builds or customizes the page on the fly before sending it to the requestor. ASP (aka Classic ASP) was introduced in 1998 as Microsoft's first server side scripting language. Classic ASP pages have the file extension .asp and are normally written in VBScript. 68 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -1).A METHOD FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF FIXED AND VARIABLE LENGTH MATRIX COMMUNICATION CODE WITH VARIABLE REDUNDANCY:AN EXTENSION WORK IN THE LIGHT OF HUFFMAN CODE: In this article, Huffman's idea has been extended to higher dimensions and magnitudes with greater redundancy (minimum to maximum) in the development of a new communication code. In this code, both coding and decoding are easier in comparison with Huffman code. 2).PATTERN RECOGNITION THROUGH FUZZY LOGIC: Signature verification is a popular problem and the fuzzy approach is one of the existing techniques. The paper presents the concept of authentication by a graphical signature to validate the origin of digital documents. The process consists of encoding, decoding, transmission of data and the comparison of signatures using fuzzy logic. This work presents a methodology for addressing digital handwritten signatures and the authentication of it for validating legal operations. Data authentication is a problem. There remains always a fear that a transaction has been changed. Further, transmitting system may suffer from lossy. These problems can be solved by graphical representation of any figure to be preserved and transmitted. 56 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the major leading causes of cancer-related death. CRC development and progression involves mutational events in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes such as p53. Of note mutant p53 proteins can acquire novel oncogenic functions known as gain of function activities (GOF) favouring in vivo tumour induction. microRNAs are potent regulators of gene expression. Deregulation of microRNAs expression has been found in various cancer types among which CRC, thus, miRNAs may be potential targets for cancer therapy. Our experimental efforts have provided substantial advances in understanding the molecular mechanism by which mutant p53, to inactivate tumor suppressive pathways driven by oncosuppressor microRNAs, globally inhibits microRNA biogenesis in cancer by interfering with Drosha, a key regulator of microRNA biogenesis. Our study will impact on the knowledge of the molecular mechanisms through which mutant p53 exerts its GOF activities, and regulates gene expression, by adding to this puzzle the ability to interfere with miRNA processing. Moreover, the identification of oncosuppressor miRNAs will be relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Prostatic cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death in males in many parts of the world, and the second most common non-skin cancer in males. The prevalence of prostatic cancer is doubled in the presence of prostatic enlargement, but the relationship remains unclear. The strong relationship between prostatic cancer and non-modifiable risk factors, ethnicity, age and a positive family history sets them as potential risk factors for the development of a malignant disease. History of diabetes or hypertension is not associated with prostatic cancer among patients with prostatic enlargement. Neither a high PSA level plus an advanced age nor a high PSA level plus advanced symptoms are sufficient to expect the presence of prostatic cancer with certainty. Most Sudanese patients present at a late stage regardless of their educational background and severity of symptoms. Hence all elderly patients with the mildest lower urinary tract symptoms must undergo documentation for the nature of their prostatic disease. Also, more attention should be given to patients at advanced ages and a positive family history of prostatic cancer. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A new paradigm of thought and action is needed: society must be at the heart of economics, not vice versa, as dominant culture has asserted in the last forty years. The erosion of social capital leads to that of economic capital, therefore leveraging on social capital is essential to get out of the crisis. Because of the financialization of the economies, attention has shifted to financial markets at the expense of the real economy: the rules of the former, however, are very different from those of the latter. Neoliberalism without ethics means the law of the jungle and an unequal society. The US, where the dominant model is oligarchy, has increasingly distanced itself from European culture and its principles of solidarity. It is no surprise that American society is on the verge of collapse. We therefore must rediscover people as a subject rather than an object, and that the prime mover of history is their emotional nature. 200 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research on employee engagement, customer engagement, student engagement and stakeholders' engagement is gaining attention day after day, especially with the increase of reliance on digital services and the decrease of human interactions. This change in 'Human-to-Human' interaction has actually increased the value of 'Quality' engagement since its impact on the system is growing every day. Probably every job requires some sort of passion to those who do it, but three specific work fields really require high levels of passion and belief since they should not be considered as 'jobs' but as life missions: Medical (whether human or animal), Security (whether military or police), and Education (whether to children or adults). Those three specific fields require personal belief in the mission, since they usually require individuals to perform beyond what the job description requires and greatly depend on going the 'extra mile' to perform. For that reason, learning more about what drives people working in education across the region could be very knowledge enriching, since those educators build up future leadership capacity and the can-do attitude that the region needs. 176 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Environmental pollution becomes a serious issue in most parts of the world including Ethiopia. Most organizations in Ethiopia give less attention for waste management systems. Leather industries are among these organizations that have problems in waste management systems. It is common to see piling of illegally dumped wastes around rivers and other open spaces. Burning of solid waste is also common event in many areas. There is lack of sanitary land fill to dispose solid wastes. There is no sorting of the solid wastes based on their properties at model tannery. Mixed solid wastes are disposed at open dumping site. After the model tannery has started practicing Kaizen, there are improvements in chemical and waste management systems. As a training and research center, the model tannery has to implement cleaner production systems such as source reduction, green fleshing and other technologies to manage solid wastes in environmentally friendly manner. Since the model tannery at Leather Industry Development Institute(LIDI) provides support to other Ethiopian leather industries, it has to be good model in waste management systems and scale up good experiences to other leather industries. 100 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dentists have measured linear distances in the jaws predominantly by using conventional radiographs. The development of digital dental radiography and computer software in the 1980s, however, has completely revolutionized and changed the fashion in which we radiographically evaluate the linear dimensions.The traditional method for measuring distances on conventional films has been to use calibrated rulers or a vernier calliper manually. Over the past few years, measuring distances in digital images using computer software has become more common in clinical longitudinal studies, and in time will probably replace the manual measuring methods. The present study was undertaken to explore the accuracy of dimensional measurements of images obtained using photostimulable phosphor system and to compare it with conventional film based Intra Oral Periapical images. 96 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For centuries past to this moment, Man has misconstrued and abused the true role sexual intercourse plays in human relationship. Sexuality is part of human nature, an act and a process that brings harmony, bliss, peace and continuity that add no sorrow to the human race, if timely and soundly used. Unfortunately, indiscriminate sexual practice has plunged the world into sexual immorality and has reduced sex to a tool which generates low self-esteem, lack of purpose, trauma, shame, disgrace and diseases particularly HIV/AIDS that this book highlights. Kenkoh assures his readers that locking the door of sex from HIV/AIDS implies closing the door to any other form of transmission. His sense of humour, creativity, ingenuity and use of analogies and anecdotes are relief paths that give fluidity to the conveyance of lessons or guiding principles on a subject that has ravaged lives, orphaned many and left excruciating pain and trauma, frustration and hardship and sluggish economies, with great world-changing ideas buried in the graves. This will be valuable to families, schools, organisations and agencies providing HIV/AIDS services and sex education. 128 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The main aim of the research is to develop a remuneration framework for lower level employees in the hotel industry of Namibia. The researcher chose this specific area because of the general perception in Namibia that the workers in the hotel industry are 'shockingly' underpaid, overworked and endure poor working conditions. In addition, the tourism and hospitality sector does not have a minimum wage to act as a guide, to employers when pegging the starting wages and salaries for their employees. This implies that each hotel comes up with its own payment system, which may be very different from what the other hotels of similar size and star grading are offering. 108 pp. Englisch.…
