Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Document from the year 2021 in the subject Theology - Practical Theology, Namibia Evangelical Theological Seminary, language: English, abstract: Like in most parts of Namibia, Christianity plays a major role in the Rehoboth community. The goal of Christian ethics in any community is to glorify God. Many people in Rehoboth would agree with that statement, in principle. However, as Heinz Mouton¿s research shows, Pentecostal and mainline Protestant preachers in Rehoboth offer little-to-no ethical application of key passages, such as Jesus¿ Sermon on the Mount. Mouton argues that this, in part, explains why the lifestyles of many Rehoboth Christians differ significantly from the ethical values of God¿s Kingdom recorded in the New Testament. His plea to the Rehoboth church, therefore, is for stronger teaching and preaching that emphasises the ethics of Christ¿s Kingdom, and how they touch all aspects of human relationships: from the workplace, to the neighbourhood, to the family home.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

The majority of Ghatak¿s films focus on the post-Independence Bengali family and community, with a sustained critique of the emerging petite bourgeoisie in Bengal, specifically in the urban environment of Kolkata. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: 75.0, University of Ghana, Legon, language: English, abstract: This paper analyzes the security issues and its reasons for the region West Africa. Furthermore the author explains the trade agreement Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and its impacts as well as solutions.ECOWAS was formed on May 28, 1975 to promote economic integration in West Africa. The realization of this economic integration agenda was largely due to Nigeriäs regional leadership in West Africa. However, Nigeriäs attempts were met with stiff opposition from the Francophone bloc led by Cote d¿Ivoire with support from France in the 1970s. Though often blown out of proportion, there has historically been a raging antagonism between the Anglophone and Francophone blocs in West Africa. On its part, fearing Nigeriäs domination in any West African integration scheme, France supported Cote d¿Ivoire¿s hostility towards Nigeria. In a February-March 1971 tour in most of the former French colonies, President Pompidou warned against Nigeriäs domination and urged them to harmonize their efforts to counter balance the heavy weight of Nigeria. The result was the formation of West African Economic Community¿s (CEAO) in 1973. In the words of Engel and Jouanjean (2015), France perceived Nigeria as a major threat to its chasse gardée, French West Africa, as it made use of Cote d¿Ivoire¿s economic might and Senegal¿s cultural heritage. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 100, , course: Political Economics, language: English, abstract: This article made comparison between ¿embedded liberalism' and ¿neoliberalism'. The article also traced the basis for the shift from ¿embedded liberalism' to the emergence of ¿neoliberalism'. In order for the government to intervene in economic policies matters; democracy was the driving force for the spread of embedded liberalism. Macroeconomics was introduced by the government of advanced economies to address three critical areas of the economic policies, namely: inflation, market output, and unemployment. The other aspect of this period was to win the cold war and to empower the United States as the global hegemon. The departure from embedded liberalism to neoliberalism in 1971 was due to domestic economic pressure of the US. President Nixon¿s administration ended the ¿convertibility of the dollar into gold' policy regime. The government had to float the dollar in the international market allowing market forces to determine the value of the dollar currency. The administration of Reagan and Thatcher institutionalised ¿neoliberalism' as an alternative to ¿embedded liberalism'. The adoption of ¿neoliberalism' led both administrations to implement monetary policies which led to stripping labour from further threatening the economies of the United States and the United Kingdom with inflation. The overall implications were increased profits for capitalists or entrepreneurs as against employees of the labour market. The analysis revealed that there was an increased unemployment rate due to high-interest rates and deliberate policies to encourage recession in order to forestall inflation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Syria is choosen firsty, because many scholars and writers actually claim that Syria is already a secularist country which is a highly controversial and debatable claim. Secondly, because the (political) Islam in Syria does not have the same power it has in other Muslim Arabic countries and this makes Syria a somehow good candidate for becoming a secularist country.This paper contains four main chapters and it is structured as follows: After the introduction, in the first chapter secularism and secularization is briefly defined and then it will explained why the religion Islam and the (political) Islam cannot be separated. In the second chapter it is presented the point of view which says that Islam is deep inside incompatible with secularism. On the contrary side, namely in the third chapter, it is presented the other point of view which claims that Islam can very well come along with secularism. The fourth chapter will be the conclusion. Furthermore, a connection with Syria based on the content of the chapters will be made at the end of the first and the last chapter.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Theology - Hinduism, grade: 2,1, University of Hildesheim, language: English, abstract: The following paper will deal with the concept of the cycle of birth, death and rebirth in the Hindu religion, as Hindus, in contrary to the Western cultures and monotheistic religions, believe that there is life after death, and before the present life, there was a beforelife because they believe that it does not make sense that people suddenly appear from nowhere, meaning not the biological body, but the ¿soul¿ or the ¿spirit¿.First, a definition of the different concepts of afterlife in different metaphysical models and of the term reincarnation from its semantic point of view and, how it is defined in other religions, will be given. Furthermore, Hinduism, itself, will be introduced, as it is important to understand the essence of this religion to be able to understand the concept of reincarnation. Additionally, the concept of reincarnation will be described. That includes the processes of birth, death and rebirth.Finally, the arguments in favor and against the theory of reincarnation will be discussed.The question, about what happens after death, is a philosophical one, which has been worrying humanity for centuries. By trying to categorize the different concepts, regarding what happens after death, three concepts, varying among cultures and religions, can be differentiated.First, there is the concept of denial which states that the existence of the individual ends with their death, as it is widely believed in the Western world.The second one is the concept of completion - in many religions, as, for example, in Christianity, the human life is seen as a preparation for a life after, somewhere else, in a different state of existence, like Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, Limbus, etc.And the third concept is the concept of rebirth, meaning that the mental part of the person, may it be called the ¿soul¿ or the ¿spirit¿, is reborn many times in new bodies on earth. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Theater Studies, Dance, University of Queensland (St. Lucia Campus), course: DRAM3103 - Topics in Theatre Research, language: English, abstract: This essay discusses two ways in which scholars have interpreted Joshua Sobol's play 'Ghetto' (originally published 1989). It outlines the problems that arise from each interpretation of the play, but also discusses how and why scholars came to those interpretations. The derived conclusion from placing these two interpretations in conversation with each other is that Sobol may have been trying to both give an historical recount of the horrors experienced in the Jewish Ghettos set up by the Nazis, and giving subtle critique on how the Israeli government is treating its Palestinian neighbours. While this essay does not aim to provide definitive conclusions as to what Sobol's motives were behind the writing of 'Ghetto', it certainly opens up discussions on how historical contexts can affect the way in which the message of a play or performance is perceived and interpreted.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Seminar 'West in Fiction', language: English, abstract: In this paper I want to describe how the Cold War shaped the depiction of violence, masculinity and society in the movie ¿3:10 to Yumä. I will argue that this movie not only criticizes the Korean War and the Cold War in general, but I will also showcase how societal anxieties of an escalation, for example in the form of a nuclear strike, are processed. I will argue that the idealism of Cold War liberalism, which stands in stark contrast to communism, is shown in this movie and that it shapes the way masculinity is portrayed and favored. In this way, the movie can be analyzed as a mirror both of societal processes and anxieties, and perceptions of ideal masculinity of the American culture in the 1950s. 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Philosophy - Practical (Ethics, Aesthetics, Culture, Nature, Right, .), grade: 1.0, LMU Munich, language: English, abstract: This paper seeks to address the role of trust in jealousy. A key distinction is made between fears, a lack of trust, and insecurities. It seems that a lack of self-trust arises both due to insecurities and fear, that both get provoked from deleterious cognitive patterns, negative or lack of life experience, or -knowledge. The paper provides arguments and evidence to support the view that jealousy involves a lack of (self-)trust because jealousy is an evaluative feeling and an episodically occurring state assigned to a specific source (cause) and reflects inner experiences. Furthermore, it is argued that an adjusted self tends more to feel jealous than an unadjusted self. 16 pp. Englisch.

It hoped that this paper will drives legislative arms of government to be more top public institution that can have proper checks and balances on the executive rather than bureaucratic non delivery system. The stated aim of government all over is to achieve or accomplish good governance. By good governance, we imply the delivery goods and services to the people. Cornpared to the experience of other of government (military regimes, for instance) goods and services are better delivered under a democratic dispensation in which checks and balances between the different arms of government are ensured. This is because in a democratic government leaders are representative of the people, elected on a periodic basis, they try to ensure that the real benefits of democracy (both material and moral) are readily and consistently accrual to the citizenry.In most states of the Nigerian federation, it is evident that the processes of socio-economic development have been better enhanced under a democratic dispensation. In Benue State, for instance, the establishment of industries and other institutions like the Taraku Mills, Otukpo Burnt Bricks, Benue State University, Makurdi, etc by the administration of former of Governors of Benue state,Mr. Aper Aku and Rev.Fr.Moses Adasu between 1979-1983 and 1991 -1993 respectively have been used as reference points.Observers of the pace of development in the State describe these periods, in comparison to the era of military regimes, as the glorious periods of Benue State. Several reasons are advanced for this development. 36 pp. Englisch.

As technology¿s efficiencies and its effectiveness had been sensed by both customer and firm, this resulting in a competitive business model among particular service industries; Supermarket businesses. Therefore, the need for a tech-based yet fruitful innovation has become increasingly relevant towards grocery businesses. However, during past decades, numbers of researchers and business experts¿ have narrowed their focus to a term called self-service technology (SST). This cutting-edge advancement enhances firm¿s performances in productivity and profitability spectrums (Parasuraman, 1996). Next, Meuter et al. (2000) has outlined SST as ¿technological interfaces that enable customers to obtain services from the staffs of the particular service firm without any direct involvement with them. On the business viewpoint, cost reductions and improved efficiency are the major highlights of having a SST system. With aid of SST, supermarket business can now serve various service demand from customers as SST system is more consistent and stable and it disregard worker¿s state of mind who sometimes is affected by personal issue or mood swing. With that so, SST creates a good added value which time and place conveniences are escalated to both supermarket manager and customer. In practices, SST comes in various channels ranging from self-service installations to self-service checkout machine. In this research proposal paper, I will examine the significance of Self-Service Checkouts usage on customer loyalty and their satisfaction given the service quality in the Singapore¿s supermarket context with relevant journals and examples considered. 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Management, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Georg Agricola Bochum (Wissenschaftsbereich Elektro-/Informationstechnik und Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen), course: Simulation Game, language: English, abstract: This thesis deals with the necessary of using management tools within a business game. In the first descriptive part, it critically examines the common management tools mentioned in the literature. It is limited to the treatment of three tools: The Ansoff Matrix according to Harry Igor Ansoff, Porters Five Forces (industry structure analysis) and the Business Model Canvas according to Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur. In the following analysis, the work applies these tools practically to the fantasy company, ¿Xeltronics 1¿. What does strategic management deal with In the Anglo-American literature, management is used in two variants of meaning. On the one hand, management in the functional sense aims to describe the processes and functions, such as planning, organization, leadership and control, that are necessary in organizations based on the division of labor. Management in the institutional sense describes the people, who perform management tasks, their activities and their roles. There are the two main components of the strategy term are the time element and the reference object. According to their ethymological origin, the terms strategy and strategic are strongly associated with the term 'longer-term'. It is difficult to determine precisely when strategic management was established as an independent field of research. The year 1977 is mentioned as the 'year of birth', for example, when a conference was held at the University of Pittsburgh in the USA, whose contributions were presented in 1979 by Schendel and Hofer under the title 'Strategie Management. A New View of Business Policy and Planning'. Behind the term 'strategic management' is a management philosophy that expresses rethinking. Basically, the group is experiencing a similar phenomenon here as in the 1960s, when the term marketing also signalled the need to rethink after the original sellers' markets had turned into buyers' markets. Although there are many different ideas associated with the concept of strategic management, a common goal can be identified: Strategic management is able to control and guide the long-term evolution of the company. The role of the manager is important, but according to a study, almost 85% of the German population think that their salaries are high to high. 28 pp. Englisch.

It analyzes the gender-transformative potential of the Commission, examines the measures taken by the government to implement the Commission's recommendations on gender equality and analyzes the changes that have been achieved with regard to gender equality in Sierra Leone.While the trials of the Sierra Leone Special Court have led to a number of groundbreaking legal developments that have significantly impacted international gender justice the Court is believed to not have offered much potential for the transformation of gender relations due to 'the absence of a reparations mandate and the limited opportunities for victims to participate in proceedings' (Williams and Opdam 2017, 1286). Therefore, this analysis focuses on the TRC. It will begin with a brief account of the situation of women in pre-conflict Sierra Leone as well as during the conflict to make the case for the need for a transformation of gender relations. This will be followed by an analysis of the gender-transformative potential of the TRC and a subsequent examination of the measures taken by the government to implement the TRC¿s recommendations on gender equality. Subsequently, the changes that have been achieved with regard to gender equality in Sierra Leone will be examined.

The country has a well developed retail sector buoyed with strong consumer base, high disposable incomes, high literacy rates and its strategic location. This presented a review of macro environment, competitive and SWOT analyses of the Singapore¿s retail industry to determine how Walmart Inc can successful enter the market. The review found that the strength of Singapore lies on its favorable business laws and regulations, business-friendly tax rates and high disposable incomes among Singaporeans. Singapore is also highly developed in terms of physical infrastructure and serves as one of the busiest air traffic and sea port hubs in the world. The high disposable income and economic freedom makes it hugely attractive for retail business like Walmart. Stable political climate and socio-cultural diversity also attracts new businesses to the country. However, the study found that corona virus pandemic and high labour and rental costs posed the biggest threats to Singapore retail industry. Nonetheless, the paper suggests adoption of franchising market entry strategy as the most appropriate. Franchising is the most appropriate approach due to low costs and reduced risks of failure. To be successful, the retailer must select a franchisee of good reputation and with a shared vision. Lastly, Walmart can select a franchisee and prepare to enter Singapore market after country opens up for business in the aftermath of the current pandemic. ¿ 36 pp. Englisch.

For this, the paper refers to the BKD Model by Campbell (2004).The movie ¿Captain America: The First Avenger¿ is based on a comic book called ¿Captain America I¿ which was published in 1941. The book showed Captain America fighting Nazi Germany and predicted the participation of the United States at World War II. The authors claim that Captain America was created to enhance the patriotic spirit of young Americans during that time (Weiner, 2009). Before becoming Captain America, Steve Rogers was a thin, small and frail young man driven by the desire to enlist for the military and contribute his part in World War II. Despite several tries under different aliases the military refused to draft him due to his bad physical condition and numerous diseases. In his last attempted to enlist for the army, the scientist Dr. Abraham Erskine who was the leading scientist for the secret super soldier project, gave Rogers a chance to become a soldier. After attending a training camp, Erskine administered a serum to Rogers which transformed the little and frail young man into a muscular and tall super soldier. This was the birth of the character Captain America. (Johnston, 2011).Leadership is a very broad topic and it appears that back in the early 1970¿s every leadership writer had its own definition. Researchers recorded in 2008 on a Google search on leadership 168,000,000 results and by 2011 the amount increased to 418,000,000. Thus, it can be argued that the amount of definitions for leadership will multiply in the following years.
