Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences - Hachenburg Castle, course: Finanzsaufsicht, language: English, abstract: The current rise in interest rates leads to significant losses in the value of banks¿ own portfolios, especially for small and medium-sized banks. This paper considers how the application of the moderate lower of market principle may, in some circumstances, serve to reduce the negative impact of such an increase in interest rates. Accordingly, the valuation rules of the German Commercial Code in conjunction with the IDW statement on loss-free valuation in the banking book offer considerable scope of discretion for German institutions.The paper first outlines the principles for the classification and valuation of securities in commercial accounting. In this context, the valuation rule of the mitigated lower of market principle is explained and its influence on the formation of a provision for contingent losses in the scenario of a temporary impairment is shown. Furthermore, the IDW's statement on the loss-free valuation of the banking book is presented, according to which the prerequisites and requirements for reclassifications are explained. The aim of the paper is to highlight and categorically present the resulting consequences for banks. These include tax, regulatory and accounting advantages for banks by making full use of the legal framework.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

It is not only interesting from an economic point of view, but also from an ecological one.The following assumptions are made for the scientific work: The electric car is needed for the daily commute from home to work and the extension of the house installation by a photovoltaic system (PVA) complies with the standard of the German Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (VDE).We assume the following scenario for the housework: The detached house is located in northern Germany, the roof is south-facing with the optimum tilt angle of 30° and an average electricity consumption for two adults and two children. The commuting person works during the week, during the day in a company that is 60 kilometres (one way) from home.This leads to the hypothesis that the monthly petrol costs can be reduced by purchasing an electric car and a PVA. This leads to the following key question:Is it financially worthwhile to expand the electrical home installation with a photovoltaic system for charging an electric car Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Wuppertal (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), language: English, abstract: This paper analyses the depiction of slavery and racism in Herman Melville's work 'Benito Cereno'. The focus here is particularly on Captain Delano, who, blinded by his racist attitude, is unable to see the true conditions on board.This paper will investigate how Delano's racial prejudices shape his perspectives of the happenings in front of him and how they contribute to his failure to recognise the mutiny of the slaves, thus exposing the nature of unconscious racism and bias that existed in society. By examining Delano's contradictory beliefs about race and power and exploring the historical context in which the novella was written in, this paper intends to shed light on the ways in which implicit prejudice can lead people to overlook injustice and perpetuate systems of oppression.Since the novella takes place in the year 1799 on the coastline of South America, I will begin by describing the historical context of slavery in the Americas, as well as the racist structures and ideals that were prevalent there, in order to gain an understanding of the social and historical environment in which the characters are situated. I will then analyse the portrayal of slavery and racism in the novella, with special focus on the thoughts and remarks of the main character, Captain Amasa Delano, from whose perspective the novella is narrated. Since there are certain authoritarian hierarchies in Western slavery and racism, I will also examine the authoritarian structures and particularly the shift of authority in the novella. Lastly, I will summarise the results I have gained from the research and analysis in the conclusion.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Design (Industry, Graphics, Fashion), grade: A, Harvard University (Faculty of Arts & Sciences), course: Expos 20: Fashion & Power, language: English, abstract: This paper explores the complex interplay between fashion, sexual objectification, and empowerment, using Marilyn Monroe as a central case study. It examines how Monroe, often celebrated as a fashion icon, navigated the tensions between societal expectations and personal identity in a patriarchal world. The study delves into the distinction between Monroe's public personäshaped by Hollywood's portrayal of her as a seductive symbol¿and her private style, which was markedly more minimalist and reflective of her true self, Norma-Jean. Through this lens, the paper argues that while Monroe's fashion choices, particularly those dictated by male filmmakers, contributed to her objectification, they also provided her with a form of empowerment. This paradox highlights the nuanced ways in which women like Monroe have historically negotiated power within the confines of societal norms. Ultimately, the paper contends that while Monroe's public image was largely crafted by male-driven narratives, her personal style offered her a means of reclaiming some agency, illustrating the ongoing struggle for female autonomy in a male-dominated society.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This paper examined social media as a tool for combating child trafficking in Nigeria. Social media has actually become ubiquitous and part and parcel of the daily lives of millions of people around the globe and has tremendous effect upon every facet of our personal and professional lives. Therefore, in curbing this ugly situation of child trafficking in Nigeria, social media should have potential roles to play. Social media performs a number of functions, which benefit the individual as a member of a society. These functions are as well applicable to curbing child trafficking in Nigeria and they range from using different formats like serious informational and educational functions to lighter functions like entertainment. So, the ultimate aim in this study was to appraise the viability of social media as a tool for combating child trafficking in Nigeria. Three research objectives, research questions and hypotheses guided the study. The sample of the study was 385 derived from a population 1040851 using the Australian sample size calculator.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Computer Science - Technical Computer Science, grade: 1,3, University of Bremen (Institut Technik und Bildung), language: English, abstract: This thesis deals with the installation and configuration of a 'smart home' based on a local wireless network (WLAN) in the context of a heating control system.In today's world, the comfort of the home takes centre stage. It's not just about having a nice home, but being able to use it effectively (saving energy) and, above all, as comfortably as possible. In this homework, one aspect of the 'smart home', heating control, is addressed. This aspect will be used to illustrate an example and show what is possible in a 'smart home'. Even if the focus is on comfort, the costs saved by a smart home should not go unmentioned.It is obvious that a heating control system that is constantly monitored and adapted to the ambient temperature causes less variable costs than a heating control system that permanently heats at a set, specific level. The following scenario is assumed for an illustrative example: A small family, father, mother and teenage son, have been living in a condominium for some time. The tech-savvy father decides to gradually convert the large flat into an intelligent home. He starts converting the heating systems in the autumn in order to save on heating costs over the winter.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 3,0, University of Würzburg (Neuphilologisches Institut), course: Hauptseminar: Linguistics of theoretical orientation. Language and Music, language: English, abstract: For this paper, song lyrics will be examined more closely for typical features of African American Vernacular English. Based on the analysis of the findings, any differences and similarities in the use and frequency of African American Vernacular in the rap lyrics will be clarified and thus possible developments in the use of African American Vernacular English in Hip-Hop identified. If necessary, these will also be used to draw possible conclusions about American society.In the second chapter of this thesis, the theoretical background relevant to the understanding of the topic will be discussed. An overview of the music genre of Hip-Hop, the variety of African American Vernacular English and the selected artists is given. After that, the methodology of this thesis will be explained, which will be used for the investigation of the Research Question. This is followed by a comprehensive presentation of the results with a subsequent discussion and commentary on the findings. Linguists are constantly noticing a constant change in languages and their varieties.Thus, in the end, it is to be expected that the characteristics of African American Vernacular English have also changed in therappers' texts of different ages and can be determined with the help of this mini-study. Since African American slang is still a stylistic device even in the works of white rappers, no significant changes are to be expected in terms of the total frequency of general language elements from the African American Vernacular English.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Göttingen, language: English, abstract: In this paper, I will show how Agbabi¿s poetry challenges traditional dichotomies, such as black/white, male/female, and traditional/contemporary by blurring the lines between them and emphasising the interconnectedness of not only the opposing ends, but also of the different continuums. To pursue this, in the following chapter I will establish a theoretical framework on intersectionality and Black feminism, that helps to conceptualise the interconnectedness of the aspects. Subsequently, chapter 3 contains the main analysis. At the beginning of that chapter, I will first give a few more relevant information on the author and then account for how I came to the specific binaries mentioned before. Based on this, the close readings will then follow in sub-chapters structured after the three main categories. Finally, I will draw a conclusion that puts the pieces back together.¿Not everything is black and white.¿ This proverb encapsulates the essence of Patience Agbabi¿s poetry, particularly evident in her collection Bloodshot Monochrome. Agbabi is a British poet, performer, and writer that has recently gained more attention. Her approach to poetry is innovative and dynamic, often challenging limits of traditional forms and tackling sensitive topics ranging from racial issues to gender norms. Especially interesting is how many of these issues can be put into binary categories that Agbabi often addresses implicitly, occasionally even explicitly. Not only does she make use of such dichotomies, but she also disrupts conventional societal perceptions and encourages her reader to question them. In her works, she often brings up not only one category, race for instance, but several at the same time, covering a vast range of matters. By that, she illuminates the interconnectedness of them, showing how someone¿s race should not and cannot be regarded isolated from gender or sexuality or other aspects that are part of identity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2024 in the subject Sociology - Children and Youth, , language: English, abstract: Adolescence is a pivotal stage for identity and goal exploration, necessitating a focus on holistic development and spiritual formation. This study examines the intersection of the 'Big Five' personality traits¿Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism¿with the modified Five Cs of Adolescents Spiritual development¿Calling, Character, Competence, Courage, and Community.Adapting the 5Cs by Geldhof et al., for Positive Youth Development and modifying it to fit the spiritual formation of adolescents, this study Utilizes document analysis, and observation of focus groups of adolescents in Bamenda across psychology, education, sociology, and theology, the research aims to determine the influence of these 5Cs and the mediating effects of personality traits on adolescent growth.Research has shown that the development of adolescents' character, competence, and community involvement is influenced by their temperament and character traits. These traits, particularly self-directedness, play a protective role in their well-being and psychosocial adjustment. Furthermore, Pedersen opines that the context in which adolescents engage, such as peer, school, and employment, can shape their competence and influence their self-esteem and delinquency. Jalal et al., believe Personality development programs, including those focused on motivation, leadership, and caring, have been found to positively impact students' character. However, the mediating effects of personality traits on the holistic development of adolescents are also influenced by psychosocial stress, with acute stress partially mediating the longitudinal stability of conscientiousness.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 40 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Asian studies, grade: 1,7, Humboldt-University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: China joined the Internet in 1994 year, becoming the earliest country to mark this achievement in Asia, but in the world taking 71th place registering to the global network. Use of the Internet in China has dramatically changed- from 22 million users in 2000 to 854 millions in 2020. That makes every second citizen in China (59,3% precisely) being on the Internet. In 2021 thepercentage of the Chinese population on the Web skyrocketed to 70% with 1,01 billion users.In this essay I argue that the advent of the Internet in China is not liberating in both two dimensions: outside of the Internet (referring to the digital divide) and on the Internet (for netizens). Moreover, Virtual China rather resembles an endless mouse-and-cat game. With mouse being the official authorities and cat chinese netizens. Although it could have a liberating potentialit is not very effective. On the other hand, it also contributes to social inequalities, as not every citizen has access to the Internet or simply the will (as in the case of elderly group) to actively use it. This all deepens social tensions, which are destructive for the mass mobilization that is so much needed in the fight for democracy. The battlefield for the and on Internet counties endlessly without the clear winner. As soon as one side of the duvet (Internet) is trying to pull into one¿s direction, the other side responds instantly pulling into one's side.For the authorities, the Internet is being implemented as an instrument of digital authoritarianism. Chinese netizens however recognize in the Internet the potential of liberating technology. They are proactively trying to make use of its own needs, by online protests, posts and comments that criticize, mock and satirize the ruling power. They do it as long as they are not being caught by online censors or outside of the Web by officers and judicial authorities.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Scientific Study from the year 2024 in the subject Education - Educational Tests & Measurements, grade: 18, , language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the concept of holistic education, exploring the perspectives and insights of renowned scholars and practitioners in the field. It will examine the key principles that underpin this approach and understand the significance of nurturing the interconnected aspects of the mind, body, and soul in the educational process. By gaining a comprehensive understanding of holistic education, the way can be paved for the development of well-rounded individuals who are equipped to thrive in the complexities of the modern world. The traditional approach to education has long been centered on the acquisition of knowledge and the attainment of academic achievements. Students are often assessed based on their performance in standardized tests, their ability to memorize and regurgitate information, and their success in meeting predetermined educational standards. While this approach has its merits in imparting core knowledge and skills, it often falls short in nurturing the holistic development of the individual. In recent decades, however, a growing number of educators, researchers, and philosophers have advocated for a more comprehensive and integrative approach to education ¿ one that recognizes the importance of nurturing the mind, body, and soul of the learner. This approach, often referred to as holistic education, seeks to provide a well-rounded educational experience that addresses the multifaceted nature of human beings and their diverse needs. 32 pp. Englisch.

Gayatri Spivak is one of the main authors of postcolonial theory with the subaltern, highlighting the voices and perspectives of marginalized and oppressed groups that have been historically silenced. The analysis section focuses on presenting the main objectives of subalternity to examine (1) the discourse surrounding women affected by FGM within development studies and (2) the interventions of international development organizations through FGM-related projects. The role of international organizations will be considered through referencing Phase III and IV (2018-2021 and 2022-2025) of the UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme on the Elimination of FGM. To comprehend Spivak¿s concept and the responsibility of the development industry and its organizations the main objectives of postcolonial theory and the influence of colonial domination will be touched upon as well as FGM introduced within the scope of development studies. A postcolonial approach in development studies aims to deconstruct Eurocentric perspectives, empower marginalized voices, and reframe development practices by interrogating power dynamics and decolonizing knowledge.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 48 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Medicine - Pharmacology, Pharmacy, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: There are many challenges in developing effective treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Regulatory agencies in the US and EU play a significant role in determining the efficacy and safety of drugs used to treat these conditions. However, the approval process is convoluted and frequently encounters obstacles that delay timely access to critically needed treatments. This thesis seeks to identify, examine, and suggest potential remedies for the problems regulatory bodies in both regions encounter. Through an extensive review of the literature, regulatory standards, and case studies, the thesis looks at the major challenges encountered throughout the drug approval process for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. Scientific roadblocks including the complexity of disease mechanisms and the lack of knowledge of sickness progression make it difficult to show therapy efficacy and choose the appropriate patient populations. Clinical issues arise from the diversity of the patient population, the dearth of reliable biomarkers, and the need for precise long-term data for therapy benefit assessment.Regulatory impediments are procedures and rules that differ between the US and Europe. These include changes to regulatory structures, clinical trial designs, and data requirements. Regulatory standards must be standardised, regulatory authorities must collaborate more closely, and data requirements must be uniform to expedite the clearance process and guarantee universal access to medications.The thesis offers various strategies that regulatory agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and researchers can use to get around these challenges. Greater stakeholder collaboration and data sharing can promote the pooling of knowledge and resources, which will lead to more thorough clinical research and better outcomes. Adaptive trial designs and master protocols are examples of cutting-edge trial designs that can aid in patient recruitment and data collection. Utilising patient registries and actual data can speed up the approval procedure and provide more information about the results of treatment. To align expectations and proactively resolve regulatory concerns, early communication between regulatory organisations and drug developers is crucial.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2024 in the subject Biology - Micro- and Molecular Biology, grade: 2.0, , course: Microbiology, language: English, abstract: Food-spoilage moulds such as Aspergillus, Fusarium & Penicillium are mycotoxinogenic in nature & play an obvious role in the deterioration of the quality & hygiene of foodstuffs by constituting highly toxic metabolites known as mycotoxins.Mycotoxin contamination is still a serious problem in many parts of the world. This poses a threat to both livestock & human health, which results in great worldwide economic losses each year. Diverse physical & chemical methods have been developed for controlling mycotoxin-contaminated food & feed, whereas very few of these techniques have been practically considered. Therefore, a potent method has to be employed to reduce the presence of mycotoxins. Furthermore, some food-spoilage moulds have been discovered to have the capability to resist chemical preservatives, for example sorbate. The reduction of such moulds in food production is now of primary importance & there is great interest in developing effective & safe method for this purpose. It is crucial to reduce food losses by controlling fungal contamination at all stages of food process chains.Three main stages can be defined to group fungal contamination factors:(i) the field, where water, soil & air are natural fungal niches; (ii) raw materials¿such as post-harvest crops, meats, & milk¿where fungal occurrence is related to food management during harvest or collecting, transportation, storage, & packaging & (iii) during food processing while manufacturing dairy, bakery, dry-ripened & drink products. Meanwhile, natural preservatives could be an alternative due to disadvantages of pesticides/fungicides & the high cost of production of new chemicals. In addition, the biopreservative capacity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is gaining much attention, due to consumers¿ dem& for reducing the use of chemical preservatives.As a result of this, several researchers have exploited antagonistic compounds (such as organic acids, hydrogen peroxide & other antimicrobial compounds such as bacteriocins) produced by LAB which are able to control pathogenic microorganisms & undesirable moulds in food & feed. However, much still need to be done on the antifungal activity of LAB, due to the great dem in finding natural preservative agents that can prevent fungal growth in food & feed. Accordingly, this study evaluates the ability of lactobacillus as a biopreservative agent to prevent food-spoilage moulds both in vitro & in vivo. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Psychology - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,7, University of Hagen (Lehrgebiet Community Psychology), course: Community Psychology, language: English, abstract: Just World Belief (JWB) is a cognitive belief of people that assumes that actions have morally just and appropriate consequences for the actor. This theory has been widely researched in the literature, with a focus on negative social effects and positive psychological effects. In particular, the subjective experience of justice seems to be relevant, since experienced in-justice can have devastating consequences on an individual level (depression, aggression, et cetera) as well as on a group or societal level (conflicts, protests, et cetera). Accordingly, JWB theory is an interesting approach to the study and explanation of social behaviour in groups and societies. Presented here is a systematic literature review of current studies on the causes and effects of JWB in order to identify the current state of scientific knowledge and relevant trends, and to uncover potential interesting avenues of inquiry for the future.

Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2024 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1.0, Reutlingen University, language: English, abstract: This thesis will examine how the efficient market hypothesis (Fama, 1965), the random-walk hypothesis, and the Martingale model relate to the profitability of technical analysis. Additionally, relevant research on profitability up to 2023 will be presented and summarized, highlighting major findings in the context of profitability following technical trading rules. The contribution to current research is made by testing the profitability of popular technical analysis strategies and discussing the underlying reasons for any observed profitability. Furthermore, a separate analysis will be conducted, applying four technical analysis strategies to the S&P 500 time series from 2005 to 2023.This thesis shows that none of the, in selected literature deemed profitable, trading strategies applied by Marshall (2017), Kuang et al. (2014), and Brock et al. (1992) are outperforming a S&P 500 buy-and-hold strategy between 2005 and 2023. Robustness checks such as break-even transaction cost analysis show that only two moving average variation strategies are profitable at the 20 basis points transaction cost level. Neglecting this influence of transaction costs, only one of these strategies¿ returns are greater than those of a buy-and-hold strategy, though still of unsignificant nature. Nevertheless, technical analysis strategies exhibit superior performance in terms of Sharpe ratio compared to the buy-and-hold approach. This is primarily due to this thesis¿ assumption of investing in risk-free treasury bills when not allocated to the S&P 500 index.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Trabajo de Investigación del año 2023 en eltema Ingeniería - Ingeniería mecánica, Nota: 20, , Materia: Ponencia Universitaria, Idioma: Español, Resumen: El presente paper se estructurará como una investigación documental, con el fin de estudiar desde el punto de vista teórico el fenómeno de propagación de ondas acústicas a través del fluido en movimiento dentro de una tubería, con miras a proponer un método numérico que permita modelar el comportamiento del fluido y determinar el caudal circulante. El primer paso será el planteamiento de un modelo para representar el fenómeno en cuestión, bajo ciertas condiciones ideales. La medición del caudal a través de una tubería es de vital importancia en aplicaciones industriales por ejemplo para monitorear la entrada de flujo a un tanque, la dosificación para una mezcla determinada en un proceso, el despacho de producto final como crudo petrolero, etc. Para ello existen distintas tecnologías de flujómetros entre los que se encuentran los electromagnéticos, mecánicos y de Coriolis, todos son invasivos, ya que requieren ser colocados y acoplados mediante conexión bridada a la tubería. Esto dificulta su desmontaje para limpieza y mantenimiento. Además de tener que desarrollar arreglos de cuadros de válvulas para crear bypass y poder continuar el proceso industrial al momento de mantenimiento y calibración del instrumento, los flujómetros magnéticos son viables solo cuando el fluido tenga propiedades conductivas, ya que su funcionamiento se basa en determinar la diferencia de potencial generada por el fluido conductivo al transitar a través de un campo electromagnético y con ello relacionar la velocidad del flujo usando la ley de Faraday.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Spanisch.

Neuware -Diploma Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Library Science, Information- / Documentation Science, grade: 5.0, , course: Library and Information Science, language: English, abstract: This study investigated the value of Polytechnic Libraries in North Central Zone. Survey research technique was used and structured questionnaires were the main instrument to collect data from 100 respondents out of which 80 respondents yielded a response rate of 80% and respondents from selected polytechnic librarians yielded a response rate of 100%.The value of Polytechnic Libraries in North-Central zone cannot be over-emphasized. Academic libraries are those that are established in tertiary institutions such as Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education etc. Their major function is to provide Information resources and services that support the attainment of the broad objectives of Teaching Learning and Research activities of the parent institution also research and the advancement of knowledge in a wide variety of subjects. It is a central service or unit of operation set up to provide location, materials and facilities for study, academic library is to serve as an auxiliary to the parent institution in carrying out its objectives.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Internship Report from the year 2020 in the subject Library Science, Information- / Documentation Science, , course: Library and Information Science, language: English, abstract: This report covers all the most important practical experiences gained throughout the period of a student industrial work experiences scheme (SIWES) with Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi, Benue state, from November 2019 to May 2020. It consists of all the practical activities (routine done) from different units of the library which include information and media unit, technical or collection development division, reader services division, serial division, e-library, references units aimed at providing detailed information and rendering special services to its users. It also challenges of SIWES on students, challenges of Frances Suleman Idachaba library, personal challenges face and the necessary suggestion to the problems.The student industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) is a skill training programme designed to expose and prepare students of the universities and other tertiary institutions for the industrial work situation they are likely to meet after graduation. It is also planned and structured programme based on stated and specific career objectives which are geared toward developing the occupational competencies of participants. Student industrial work experience scheme is an essential part of a student¿s academic programme. It normally lasts for a period of 6 months. A student is supposed to be attached to a company or organization that offers service that are related to the student course of study.Training is an integral part of vocational or career development which is fast becoming a global and pervasive phenomenon in any establishment, the absence of which spells doom for such an institution and the presence of which determines the success of any enterprise or company. In another view, training is an organized, coordinated development of knowledge, skills and attitudes needed by an industrial worker to master a given situation or perform a certain task within an organization setting which might be needful in future time.Therefore, the role that training can play in human resource development as aptly capture by Ajidahum (2007) in Libraries and Information System is inestimable and unquantifiable. Training is a key factor in enhancing the efficiency and expertise of the workforce.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.
