Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Scientific Study from the year 2019 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 5.0, University of Nigeria, language: English, abstract: Distance exerts a significant filtering effect on the type of person willing or able to travel, which in turn affects behaviour and consumption patterns within destinations. Distance decay is observed widely in spatial studies and best describes the relationship between distance and tourism demand. In tourism, demand curves typically peak some distance away from an entertainment source and rapidly tail off; they also take two other forms: a wide plateau near the source, or a series of shrinking peaks. In this essay, this theory is applied to the Tourism industry. In all manner of ways, the lives and activities of people everywhere are influenced by the friction of distance. This shows that distance has a retarding effect on human interaction because there are increasing penalties in time and cost associated with longer-distance, more expensive inter changes. We visit nearby friends more often than distant relations, we go more frequently to the neighbourhood convenience store than to the farther regional shopping centre. Telephone calls or mail deliveries between nearby towns are greater in volume than those to more distant locations. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - General and Theories of International Politics, grade: 1,0, Hawai'i Pacific University, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to analyze the American race war against the Philippines and the excessive use of torture. One of the paper's primary focuses is the American public's reaction and the public debate about war atrocities. The leading question for the paper will be: How did the American public react to the use of torture by the US-Army The paper consists of four parts. Firstly, an overview of the conflict itself and how and why torture was conducted during the war will be given. In the second part, the public reaction to torture by the American army during the war will be analyzed. The third part will discuss the aftermath of the Philippine-American War. The last part will conclude the paper.On July 4, 1902, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt announced the victory of American troops over the anti-colonial resistance movement in the Philippines. In his keynote address on the 127th Independence Day of the United States, Roosevelt declared the war in the faraway colony before an audience of more than a quarter of a million in Pittsburgh. He informed the public of the offer of a general amnesty to the former enemy. He announced the transfer of political control of the island kingdom to a colonial civil administration.In particular, the President praised the dedication and conduct of the U.S. troops engaged in the war of conquest. Despite all adversity, Roosevelt said, the army had adhered to the rules of warfare. With a few exceptions, he said, the conduct of the soldiers was governed by sincere compassion and proper respect for the Filipino people and the enemy's troops. The primary purpose of these remarks was to stem the steadily growing criticism of the war from the home front. At the same time, the social controversy over the torture of Filipino prisoners by U.S. soldiers, which had reached its peak in the summer of 1902, was to be ended.Until today, a controversial public debate about the atrocities of the U.S. Army during the Philippine-American war is still mainly missing. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 2.0, , course: International Law; International Criminal Law, language: English, abstract: This paper seeks to engage critically with the overarching legal issues basically revolving around the Afghanistan deferral request under article 18(2) of the Rome Statute , in the aftermath of the Taliban takeover of power in Afghanistan. In the two weeks preceding the completion of withdrawal of the US forces from Afghanistan, which was initially scheduled for 30 August 2021, the Taliban took over control of power in Afghanistan in an unprecedented rapid fashion. This takeover occasioned a hasty and abrupt exit, from power, of the erstwhile civilian administration, thereby engendering a complete collapse of the existing political regime. It also engendered considerable legal discourse and concern about the status of the outstanding Afghanistan deferral request, at the time pending at the International Criminal Court. This paper makes a participatory contribution to the legal discourse. 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: 5.0, University of Lagos (Law), course: Environmental Law II, language: English, abstract: This paper sets out to consider all the alternatives for the enforcement of the environmental right, bringing into focus the various human right instruments both at the international and regional level. The constant degradation and pollution of the environment has stimulated both at the international and national level concerns as to its effect on the natural resources, wild life and human life. It has in fact been considered as the fourth generational right in the generational matrix due to the rising global issues of conversion of natural resources and safeguard of the environment. At the international scale, the United Nation in its sustainable development growth program has incorporated these environmental issues as part of its goals; climate action (Goal 13); life below water (Goal 14); life on land (Goal 15). At the regional and national level, environmental rights have been incorporated in the African charter and the 1999 constitution of Nigeria, respectively. The vagueness of these provisions have made its realization slim in view of the difficulty the court would be faced with interpreting such provisions in line with the prevalent situations in Nigeria. This paper seeks to look at the provisions of international, regional, and national human right instruments that guarantees the right to a clean and healthy environment and how they can be applied to enforce such right in Nigeria. 16 pp. Englisch.

Linguistics: Pragmatics ¿ 4039, language: English, abstract: The field of pragmatics in terms of language and gender is an interesting one to do research about. There is earlier work on the topic which shows diverse differences between how men and women communicate individually. We see in series, television shows, scripted movies and such, in what ways language can be predictable by knowing how women and men work when they take part in homogenous or heterogeneous conversations. Several writers, like Penelope Brown stated in her work, that women seem to speak in a more polite way than men do, which might have something to do with their social status. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Case Study from the year 2017 in the subject Energy Sciences, , language: English, abstract: This policy paper demonstrates the waste crisis in Morocco, Tunisia, and Lebanon; countries located in the MENA region. It highlights how all three countries are facing a 1.5-3 % increase in waste generation and the urgency for a sustainable and innovative solution. Given that they all have more than 50% of organic waste generated in their composition, a waste-to-energy approach is most suitable. This policy targets various stakeholders such as Ministries, Nationals, and private associations and donors for involvement.Among the different solutions suggested, methane capturing and upgrading is suggested (short-term), as well as anaerobic digestion and pyrolysis (long-term). Also, a monitoring and evaluation plan was suggested. Finally, recommendations were placed based on best practices to ensure the sustainable future in terms of waste-to-energy management in these three countries.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, course: Chronobiopolitics, language: English, abstract: Based on Michel Foucault's concept of biopolitics, chronobiopolitics begins at the moment when it's impossible to distinguish between a political and a private, non-political life anymore, where subjects are set up in a chronological concept of progress or sometimes called civilization. Chronobiopolitics is creating a notion of time, a temporality, which is reproduced by its cultural aspects. By doing this, other cultures are going to be marginalized or eliminated and left with an interrupted cultural history. In the case of the African diaspora, a very dark history, better-called trauma, which ghosts are still haunting in our present social reality. This essay will explore what it means for those people to live in a chronobiopolitical temporality and what kind of ghosts are haunting the diaspora. In addition to this, this essay aims to present a theoretical concept of thinking, which can free politics from the western narrative of temporality and governance. Different Ideas of ¿Black Utopiä can be found in music, literature, and many other forms of art. Two novels from the Afrofuturistic writer Octavia E. Butler will show us how black science fiction will deal with the ghosts of the past and how we can create new concepts of time. The idea is to replace the constitutive methods of thinking in political discourses with new constructive alternatives derived from the fiction of artists, which includes a transcendence concept of culture and people. In a final step, this essay will underline the potential of those ideas, which can lead to a reflexive praxis in contrast to an apocalyptical disaster, which is intensively proclaimed since the Cold War. Black Utopia functions here as complete opposition to radical, violent revolts against western repression. While left youth protests, such as the punk movement in the eighties, proclaiming a dystopian future, these theories offer much more positive exits of the chronobiopolitical temporality, which will be concretized in the conclusion. 20 pp. Englisch.

Structurally, this paper first looks at the topic of gamification. Secondly, Duolingo and its gamified mechanics are introduced, followed by an analysis of how well the app is suited for students, discussing advantages and disadvantages. Lastly, a summary of the findings and a conclusion will be presented. In recent years, language learning apps have become increasingly popular. Due to the omnipresence of smartphones, it has become easier than ever to start learning a new language just by downloading an application. An important reason, why these 'apps' have turned the otherwise tedious task of language learning into a popular free time activity is their ease of use. Many of these apps are relying on gamified mechanics, which can make the process of language learning generally more fun, keeping learners engaged and motivated. Especially the language learning program 'Duolingo' relies heavily on gamification, which might be one of the reasons why Duolingo is one of the most popular language-learning applications. However, even with its popularity, is Duolingo also the best-suited language learning app for all learners Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

It will show that her feminism is not critical of men in general, but only intends to subvert a certain kind of masculinity. In' Power Politics' and 'Bodily Harm', Atwood displays a heavy pessimism because she considers men as mere agents of oppression and violence. And yet, Atwood¿s presentation of male characters seems to have evolved over time and moved to a broader spectrum, especially in her more recent works.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

This work is structured in several parts discussing what influence literature has on pupils in the EFL classroom. This seminar paper begins by giving a basic overview of the use of literature and why literature remains so successful. This is followed by the criteria of why certain literature is chosen and the challenges that may occur when teaching literature. After that, it will be discussed which influence literature has on the reading and writing skills of pupils in the EFL classroom. The young adult novel ¿The Hate U Give¿ by Angie Thomas will serve as an example, which will firstly be presented briefly in its outline and its fundamental themes. Later on, this novel will be analysed regarding the impact it has on pupils in the EFL classroom and to what extent this example might or might not help them to understand Americäs society concerning recent themes as racism, police violence or identity. The aim of this term paper is to develop an appropriate answer to the question why literature is still so prominent and popular nowadays. The other important aspect and the aim this paper lays its focus on is how literature is used to reconstruct social values and norms or to understand a foreign society.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,3, University of Duisburg-Essen (Anglophone Studies), course: Interculturality in Theory and Practice, language: English, abstract: The following report gives an insight into my experiences and my process of developing intercultural communicative competences. It is without a doubt safe to assume that a stay abroad is a life-changing experience. Choosing to stay abroad is a great opportunity to practice one's language skills and develop intercultural competences. Whenever I thought of my stay abroad, I was intrigued by the idea of discovering new cultures and exploring new places. For someone who is attached to the familiar, the sheer thought of leaving one¿s comfort zone might be the biggest obstacle in this journey.And still, each year, thousands of people flock to other parts of the world, perhaps to gain awareness of different people, cultures, and places. As professor O¿Dowd states, ¿the (d)irect contact with members of the target culture can offer opportunities for developing the skills and attitudes of ICC, even though it¿s not proven that such a contact will easily lead to intercultural learning.¿ Nevertheless, these people come with a particular set of attitudes and stereotypes regarding the different people and cultures of the countries.Therefore it is crucial to know how the perception can change through interaction with others. According to this, it can be said that offering broader access to cultures might enable people to mingle in these cultures. This requires a certain finesse and knowledge. Otherwise, a welcoming encounter of different people and cultures cannot be assured, but rather a clash of different cultures. Therefore, ¿language learning cannot be separated from culture learning as language manifests many of the social actions of a society and expresses the values and beliefs which underlie these actions¿. Michael Byram¿s model of Intercultural Communicative Competence, in short, ICC, can serve as an explanatory model to trace my development during my stay abroad. Mind you, although I spent more than three months in Liverpool, I cannot draw fixed conclusions about certain things. Therefore, my knowledge and attitudes might differ compared to a person who spent a year abroad. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Pedagogy - The Teacher, Educational Leadership, grade: 1,0, University of Duisburg-Essen, language: English, abstract: The main goal of this paper is to clarify and ask how important is the role of teachers in Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) To answer this question, CLT is first defined. After that, the development of CLT will be looked at, followed by the most important core assumptions. Then it becomes more school specific and the influence of CLT on the EFL classroom will be analysed, where two other teaching methods that have their origin in CLT will be introduced. Foreign languages are an important topic in schools, while especially the English language is foregrounded. Learning the English language here in Germany is obligatory with the beginning of school life, even though this might change in the near future. As we all know, the best way to learn a language is to speak it, over and over again. Because without communication and speaking the language, you will never speak a language fluently, no matter how well you master the individual grammatical rules. Of course, also the content of the language someone is learning is important. Consequently, the content needs to be adapted to the respective students and classes in order to prepare these people for mastering real-life situations. Following this, there are several interesting methods of teaching second or foreign languages. One of the most popular methods is called ¿Communicative Language Teaching¿. This method is mainly used when teachers try to teach second languages to students in a communicative way. 16 pp. Englisch.

Teleworking practices have been increasing internationally due to the global expansion of organizational boundaries it offers businesses. It had been perceived as a crucial response to competitive imperatives by top multinationals even prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. In Nigeria however, it was the Covid-19 lockdowns that obligated the adoption of teleworking practices by organizations, as a means of business continuity.The benefits of teleworking offered in the business environment during the period have since brought about conjectures it could become part of the ¿new normal¿ even after the pandemic. Despite this, the globally reported prospects and challenges for employees and organizations have largely not been investigated in the Nigerian context. 28 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: A, Southern Illinois University Carbondale (Curriculum & Instruction), language: English, abstract: In the history of teaching, different kinds of visual literacies could be shown beneficial for students; it need not be a whole novel rendered in pictures, it can start with simple letter recognition. The present study will deal with a struggling writer's experiences with graphic novels.My single case study participant is a 6th-grade, male struggling writer of African descent, born in the U.S. He is not professionally diagnosed, but has an IEP at his middle school for 'executive function disorder,' which officially does not exist as a 'disease.' His teachers have noticed that he has trouble executing written tasks, although he is perfectly able to dictate content of high quality. It seems to be not only a graphomotor dysfunction, for he can type a little better than handwrite; the main problem for him is to start a writing task, and also to finish it. As preliminary data from a year-long tutoring experience in a local Reading Clinic revealed, during which time I worked with him first in a classroom environment for half a year, and then in my office with just two tutees present, the boy reads at 9th grade level; however, when asked to do a quickwrite in 10 minutes, he can only come up with sentences like, 'Can I have a drink please ', whereas the other tutees managed to write half a page or a page of a story. His handwriting is huge, uneven, bears mechanical errors (although not enough to call him dyslexic for his age category), and so slow-paced that he cannot manage to finish a task in a given time. In clear opposition to this stands the observation that Remy has an astonishingly advanced vocabulary; when talking to him, one thinks he is much older and more mature, and very polite and well-behaved. This impression fades when one tutors him, and he exhibits unsuppressed, child-like behavior like farting and belching without embarrassment.The other participants are 28 teachers / professors who use graphic novels and took an online survey; 2 high school English teachers who do not use graphic novels and were interviewed personally; 20 authors and illustrators, as well as scholarly reviewers of graphic novels who took their respective online surveys. 44 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Environmental Sciences, , language: English, abstract: The research will offer information on bees and the commencement of future actions on conservation of bees in Tanzania and the world at large. In order to provide good pollination service at high rate, Bee needs a favorable environment and or area that is free from agricultural products such as pesticides, fertilizers also free from diseases and trampling which will provide a pollination service that is effective. In addition the environment should not be overly cost for bee diversity. Increase in human population has led to the high demand for food; the high demand for food by human has led to the ongoing increase in farm size with specialization leading to the reduction of natural vegetation areas for food production. If the agricultural areas will continue to be treated with pesticides and fertilizers, farmers will be wasting their time because the bee diversity will keep on declining and later on the pollination service will be poorly performed that will result to poor productivity of crops. Also bees suffering can lead to a total disappearance of bees hence lack pollination services completely. Keywords: Agriculture, Diversity, Biodiversity, pollinators, Intensive 28 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 100%, , language: English, abstract: The diversity of ants in conventional and organic farms has not been investigated in Tanzania, therefore, the study aims at investigating that and provides knowledge for ants conservation. Machare Coffee Estate is among unique plantations in which both conventional and organic farming of coffee are performed. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on the influence of these farming practices on ants¿ diversity. Knowledge about ants diversity is useful for the conservation of other species which associate with ants in the ecological chain. Therefore from such a gap in knowledge, this study intends to compare the diversity of ants in organic and conventional farms. Moreover, the findings from this study will aid in biodiversity management and conservation in the area in particular. Ants play a vital-ecological role as they influence soil movement, nutrient cycling and water availability in their habitat. Habitat destruction and the use of Agrochemicals are regarded as among the factors that affect the diversity of ants. Machare Coffee Estate is one of the farms which practice both organic and conventional farming. To reveal whether there is a difference in diversity between these two practices this study was conducted at Machare Coffee Estate for three weeks. The study used four transects of 80 m with four quadrants of 10x10 m within it, where 6 pitfall traps with an inter pitfall distance of 3 m were laid down per quadrant on both sites. A total number of 96 pitfall traps were used per site. A total of 2381 ants from five subfamilies were collected. Ant¿s diversity was analyzed by the Shannon Wiener index and a t-test was used to test the hypothesis.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Law - Civil / Private, Trade, Anti Trust Law, Business Law, grade: 18 Punkte, University of Lausanne, language: English, abstract: The World Trade Organization, established in 1994 by the Marrakesh Agreement, is often regarded as being detrimental to the efforts of national states in setting up new environmental protection regulations. Additionally, the WTO dispute settlement mechanism is often criticized for considering environmental protection measures as trade barriers and not being justified under the law of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) e.g. in its famous Tuna - Dolphin cases. On the other hand, the preamble of the WTO Agreements acknowledges that the expansion of production and trade has to permit 'the optimal use of the world's resources in accordance with the objective of sustainable development, seeking both to protect and preserve the environment'. Therefore, it is considered that the objective of the WTO is to establish an equilibrium between free trade and environmental protection. The first section, contains a brief overview of the general procedure of the WTO dispute settlement mechanism, namely the adjudication of a claim by Panels and the Appellate Body and the implementation of the rulings by the Member States. The second part will be an analysis of the findings and rulings of the panels and Appellate Body of the following cases: United States ¿ Standards for Reformulated and Conventional Gasoline, United States ¿ Import Prohibition of Certain Shrimp and Shrimp Products, European Communities ¿ Measures Affecting Asbestos and Products Containing Asbestos, Brazil ¿ Measures Affecting Imports of Retreaded Tyres and China ¿ Measures Related to the Exportation of Various Raw Materials to determine whether there has been a development towards more environmental protection. The main focus lies in the interpretation and development of Art. XX of GATT and its use to justify the states' national environmental regulations. The third section analyses the understanding, implementation and application of the principle of sustainable development within WTO law. An overview of the relationship between Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEA) and the WTO law will be provided and it will be discussed if the interpretation of the dispute settlement mechanism can promote sustainable development. 44 pp. Englisch.
