This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study examines the impact of audit quality on earnings manipulation in the Nigerian Deposit Money Banks. The findings revealed that total audit fees has a positive but not significant relationship with the level of earnings manipulations, non-audit fees equally exhibit a positive but not significant relationship with the level of earning manipulations, joint audit has a positive but not significant relationship with the level of earning manipulations, audit partner rotation exhibit a negative but not significant relationship with the level of earning manipulations. The study concludes that the roles of audit quality in reducing the level of earning manipulations in the listed DMBs in Nigeria cannot be underestimated. . The study recommends that audit leading partner rotation should be encouraged since this will reduce the level of earning manipulations of DMBs in Nigeria. Regulatory bodies should encourage joint audit as this will reduce the domination of Big 4 audit firms in the audit market allowing fair competition and enabling small indigenous audit firms to excel. 52 pp. Englisch.

The patches of skin affected become white and usually have sharp margins. Vitamin D compounds might limit the melanocyte loss in vitiligo by counteracting the local immune process in the skin, oxidative stress, programmed cell death, and aberrant calcium fluxes and by photoprotecting the epidermal melanin unit. In addition, vitamin D may stimulate the differentiation of immature melanocyte precursors and regulate melanocyte development and melanogenesis. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Global issues such as environmental degradation, hunger and malnutrition, poverty, antibiotic resistance, and chronic diseases, among others, are burdening the global population¿s quality of life. The main cause of these issues is climate change that continues to affect crop production worldwide while there is an urgent necessity of increasing and promoting food supply to match with the significantly increasing global population. Algal resources are a well-positioned, prominent, and sustainable resource for providing some solutions to global challenges such as malnutrition, antibiotic resistance, and environmental degradation. Algal resources play a dual role, which is feedstocks with a broad range of applications (including health foods, food supplements, feeds, and bioenergy) coupled with environmental phycoremediation. The main purpose of this paper is to elucidate the potentials of algal resources from the current scientific literature and to highlight their inputs in solving current pressing global challenges. The approach and strategies, concerning algal resources full exploitation, are also discussed, which can contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The exploration of Rosa Parks's Rosa Parks: My Story and Angela Davis's Angela Davis: An Autobiography reveals not only how these two female characters had experienced a traumatic childhood, but also all African American children on the American soil. Their experience of racism, segregation and discrimination at early ages, the reinforcement of Jim Crow laws, and the Ku Klux Klan's actions in the black communities are shades that have affected their lives. The poor education they receive show their personal position of inferiority as African American children in the United States. Obviously, growing up in the South of this country whose social and political architecture is based on the segregated system, promoting white supremacy endorses the weight of their dark childhood charged with fear, psychosis and trauma. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ageing is a normal inevitable process that occurs in the life of all humans. Globally, there is an increase in the absolute number of older persons. This will result in an increase in old age dependency ratio in years to come which has social and economic implications for individuals and the government. The care given to older persons has been eroded by many factors such as urbanization and modernization. For an older person to cope effectively with challenges that come with ageing, the individual needs to have adequate knowledge of ageing challenges and the coping skills.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study is focused on the relationship between treaty interpretation methods and the protection granted to the plaintiffs by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in its judgment of Gonzales Lluy et al. v. Ecuador. Based on a case law analysis of the Courts jurisprudence, this study explores judicial interpretation and the possible consequences of this landmark judgment in the protection of disability rights.Findings suggest that in the Gonzales Lluy et al. v. Ecuador case, the Court applied objective procedural-standards to limit the sphere of its judicial freedom with critical results. the study found that since the American Convention does not contain explicit references to the human rights of persons with disabilities, the concept of discrimination or the Court s competence to rule on the violation of the right to education, the Court reached its conclusions by interpreting the American Convention in light of the regional and universal corpus iuris. In so doing, the Court reinforced the concept of legal interpretation as an 'art' since it exercised its 'creation' power using different means of interpretation in a particular mixed operation. 76 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The conception and examination for the aerofoil geometry have been executed in the current work to evaluate the behaviour of the flow in terms of the velocity and pressure lineation. The aerofoil geometries are opted to be of new aerofoil type of NACA 8412 series. The aerofoil geometry was analysed for a constant angle of attack along the total length. This evaluation was done for the angle of attack ranging from 0o to 20owith 5o interval for each model. The inlet velocity for the flow along the surface of the aerofoil geometry was taken varied from 7.5m/s to 10m/s with 0.5m/s interval for each model. The plot points for the geometries are generated using the Auto CAD for different angles. The further simulations and evaluations were executed using the Ansys Fluent software. On evaluating and considering the variable conditions, the optimum values are obtained for the aerofoil at 15o angle of inclination at an inlet velocity of 9m/s. The software generated results when compared to the regression data generated ascertained to be in a good correlation with each other 56 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The forced flow behavior of the working fluid is determined in terms of the heat swapping for the current work. The geometries are provided with the nozzles having various convergence angles. The geometries are provided with the triangular grooves on either sides of the pipe geometries. These grooved geometries along with the nozzles attached are analyzed for the velocity, pressure and heat swapping contours. The nozzles are provided with 10 different angles of convergence ranging from 0 - degree to 90 - degree. The results obtained depicted a larger amount of difference for the convergence angle of 45 - degree thereby suggesting it as the optimum angle of convergence for the best results. The maximum amount of heat swapping can be observed for the geometry with 10 - degree convergence angle of the nozzle. The generated results depict that the best result and considerable amount of heat swapping can be observed at an angle of 45 - degree i.e. in between 40 - degree and 50 - degree convergence angle. The results can be applicable for larger intends as it can be an effective way for the transportation of the working medium. 56 pp. Englisch.
