Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book aims to show how an Australian SME food grains exporter has been able to access the Japanese market for food quality soybeans and corn. This firm has succeeded in entering this market despite entrenched competition from traditional suppliers in the USA and Canada and in the face of rigorous food safety and quality standards as required in this particular market. The set of strategic drivers required to enter the Japanese food grains market and enabling competencies implemented by an Australian SME food grain exporting company are detailed for use by other intending exporters of food grains to the Japanese market. A qualitative research method was used in the research undertaken on entering the Japanese food grains market. The research identifies clearly that if other SME food grain exporters are interested in exporting into such product markets then given they have the capacity to develop and implement such competencies as those outlined in this book then export success is possible.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 148 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Defense against microbes is mediated by the early reactions of innate immunity and the later responses of adaptive immunity. Innate immunity (also called natural or native immunity) provides the early line of defense against microbes . It consists of cellular and biochemical defense mechanisms that are in place even before infection and are poised to respond rapidly to infections. These mechanisms react only to microbes (and to the products of injured cells), and they respond in essentially the same way to repeated infections. In contrast to innate immunity, there are other immune responses that are stimulated by exposure to infectious agents and increase in magnitude and defensive capabilities with each successive exposure to a particular microbe. Because this form of immunity develops as a response to infection and adapts to the infection, it is called adaptive immunity.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Research conducted on traditional expatriates is a robust field of study. However, this body of literature, through the exclusion of other types of expatriates, lacks full generalizability of its findings. This study enriched expatriate management literature by investigating the adjustment experiences of self-initiated academic expatriates in the United Arab Emirates. Nine hypotheses were tested regarding the relationship of selected antecedent factors with cultural, interaction, and work adjustment. In addition, exploratory analysis was conducted with additional control variables to explore the influence of factors not currently included in a seminal model of traditional expatriate adjustment. This study provided original knowledge about the adjustment experiences of self-initiating expatriates, contributed to the understanding of the validity of prior research conducted on traditional expatriates and prompted a reexamination of the dominant theoretical model upon which much of the expatriate adjustment research is based. Suggestions for further research based on this foundational study were provided.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 188 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The Experience of Homeless Females: A Phenomenological Analysis helps to explain homelessness as experienced by women. Research was conducted by interviewing 10 currently homeless women with ages ranging from 40-50. Homeless women in this age range tend to fall through the cracks. During the interview process each female participant was asked 12 questions. The data found formed three themes: The Critical Event, Varying Degrees of Hope, and Assistance. The women were very candid regarding their experiences. Below is an excerpt from ¿Lilly¿, ¿I could get out of here if I could find a job but no one is hiring me. If I have a job my son and I could live together. I could get back on my feet and show my son that I am a good mother and didn¿t abandon him.¿ ¿Lilly¿ became homeless because of an abusive husband. Social Services took her son into custody, she hasn¿t seen him in 2 years. The Experience of Homeless Females: A Phenomenological Analysis will surely provide you with an insight to the everyday life of a homeless woman. The stigma of the homeless population is one of negativity and abomination.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The Western Empire has collapsed and along with it the colonialism as far as their direct political and administrative domination over the previous colonies are concerned.However,their legacy in terms of psychological and cultural domination still persists. V.S.Naipaul projects his characters in this legacy. Quite often they find themselves hopeless and lost while trying to define a significance within the legacy.They struggle,but often their struggle is thwarted and distorted by the grotesque reality of their circumstances.But they endure them all;they introspect into them and ultimately find a solution. Mr.Biswas in A House for Mr.Biswas and Ralph Singh in The Mimic Men are the epitomes of these examples.It is here Naipaul becomes an ardent source of inspiration for all who strive to understand and define identity in a postcolonial socio-cultural context.This book on the basis of this inspiration, may serve a valuable purpose at bachelor and masters levels where Naipaul is drawn to ignite a postcolonial significance.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Anisotropy, different elastic moduli in various directions, is inherent in every material in nature. In the past, materials were assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic regardless of their composition. Although this assumption facilitates the calculations, today¿s technology requires considering the anisotropy of materials in conjunction with emerging new high-performance composite materials. Structures or structural components consisting of two materials or more, which are strengthened in different directions, have been widely used in various branches of engineering. This type of structures exhibits material anisotropy. Thus, understanding mechanical behavior of anisotropic materials under external loads is very vital for design and analysis. The purpose of this book is to give the solution methodology to the plane contact problems of anisotropic media by the theory of elasticity with the aid of the integral transform method. It is intended as a reference book for engineers and scientists working in industry and academia.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The subject matter of physics books is based on the conjugate variables position and momentum, rather than energy and time. The objective of this book is to reverse that trend not only in physics but all the sciences. How is this possible in a single volume Although energy has few recognizable properties, equipartition and the conservation of energy to name two, they apply equally to all material processes; microscopic, macroscopic, living and non-living. Separately energy and time are the least understood of the physical variables, but when combined they become a powerful tool for resolving problems that have puzzled men for generations.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Among the components of demographic changes, migration is as important as fertility and mortality. The study explores the availability and use of common property resources (CPRs) like, forest, water and land resources at the village and household levels, and analysed the pattern of land holding and its relationship with access and use of CPRs as means of livelihood and sources of employment among the village poor. Non-seasonal migration was dominated by female in the age group 20-24, In case of seasonal migration, the results of binary logistic regression depicted that age, sex, standard of living, CPRs use and land holding are significantly associated with seasonal migration. Mostly, illiterate with low SLI, less users of CPRs, landless and marginal land holders were more likely to migrate seasonally. The seasonal migrants were migrating for employment and were engaged in construction, collection of tendu leaves, and agriculture. More than one third of migrants were circular migrants and eighty percent intended to migrate seasonally for employment. Thus, to reduce migration from rural areas scientific management of CPRs is necessary.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -UK healthcare is currently experiencing an unprecedented quality crisis, especially in the face of budget constraints and growing demands. This predicament calls for a totally new approach to healthcare improvement, fit for the 21st century. Although past efforts to adopt Total Quality Management (TQM) failed to produce desired results, this thesis investigates the development and adoption of an innovative and sustainable TQM model. By integrating TQM with concepts from corporate social responsibility, complexity theory and knowledge management, a novel TQM conceptual framework, called EALIM ¿ Ethical, Adaptive, Learning and Improvement Model ¿ was devised. Using an action research study, EALIM was implemented within a private UK healthcare firm over a period of twelve months. Findings indicated that EALIM¿s adoption generated a moral perception of the organisation, a learning culture, increased organisational commitment and an improvement in patient care. The development of EALIM presents an exciting prospect for researchers and practitioners elsewhere, to explore its use within a wide range of healthcare contexts.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 300 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -International economic and business environment have experienced rapid increase of the dynamic of its development, a situation which was further supported with the technological innovation spike in the 1990s. The global economy entered an especially deepening face in its globalization process with the process of market deregulation and global liberalization which was developing as a result of the establishment of the IMF, World Bank and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (later WTO). International business entered the Western Balkan economies by acquiring domestic assets, with the most common form being acquisition. Already existing companies from the former system in most attractive industries, were the ones on which companies got the most. Western Balkan region has potential to become more attractive for international business and domestic and foreign investments. But the business environment and factors supporting business need to be improved. Considering the trends of globalization, its appearance must be recognized as a challenge for the opportunities it offers to the development, growth and welfare especially in the countries in transition.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 268 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Not all the travellers who had trodden the ¿orient¿ during the heightened era of imperialism comply with the defining precepts of what Edward Said has labelled Orientalism. The worldviews of some travel writers were not unilaterally levelled by the juggernaut of imperialism. From within the hustle and bustle of colonial rhetoric, some voices retain a poignant independence that interrogates the unicity, generalization, stability, and homogeneity with which Said has sealed up his seminal thesis Orientalism. Following a multidisciplinary cultural studies approach, the present thesis interprets such free thought through the prism of secular pluralism that is capable of disrupting the discursive dichotomies hyped by the various orientalist artistic forms. The travel text of Cunningham Graham, Mogreb-el-Acksa, is approached as an example of tenacious secular and pluralist stance that arguably predefines the modern diasporic voices, which are calling vehemently for cultural hybridization, dialogic cosmopolitanism and apolitical multiculturalism as an antidote to the ideological fanaticism/fundamentalism and armed violence that are tearing up today¿s worlds across the Atlantic divide.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 140 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -After a historical excursus on the slow emergence of local clergy in various mission territories, as well as the international setting of Maximum Illud, the author makes a presentation of the apostolic letter of Pope Benedict XV and its content. As far as Catholic missions were concerned, the author sees the publication of Maximum Illud as one of the epoch-making events of the twentieth century. The reason is that Pope Benedict XV in his apostolic letter of November 30, 1919 considered the missions of the Catholic Church from a perspective that was truly universal, geared towards assuring them a firm rooting through the emergence of native or local churches outside the shores of Europe. In the final analysis, his research highlights the leadership role of Benedict XV in shaping Catholic missionary policies for the greater part of the twentieth century.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 440 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Uchimura Kanzo was born into a samurai family in 1861. He grew to adulthood during the Meiji Restoration, a season of monumental changes within Japan. His life reflected significant transformations: from samurai¿s son to Christian, from idealistic supporter to fierce critic of America, from a believer in Japan¿s self-described mission to China to a pacifist. His life as a respected teacher, prolific writer, and social critic is a vivid portrayal of the conflicts encountered by Japanese intellectuals wrestling with the major issues of their day, placing Uchimura among a cadre of gifted intellectuals who wrote of their reactions to the changes affecting their nation. As a member of this cohort, Uchimura has garnered much attention from scholars and social critics. Their interpretations vary widely. Some consider him irrelevant; others consider him a prophet for post-war Japan. This disparity drives the question, ¿What, exactly, is Uchimuräs legacy to Japan ¿ It is the purpose of this work to discover Uchimuräs intellectual heritage to modern Japan, seeking to ascertain his effect upon other Japanese, and the degree to which a mantle of Uchimura can be identified.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 192 pp. Englisch.
