Neuware -Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Medicine - Public Health, , language: English, abstract: Tuberculosis is an infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and most of the time affects lung (pulmonary tuberclosis). When it is not treated effectively it will develop resistance to medication and it will results in drug resistance tuberculosis. Globally, 3.5% of new and 20.5% of previously treated tuberclosis cases was estimated to have had Multi-Drug Resistance Tuberculosis in 2013. One of the factors of an increase for Multi drug resistance tuberculosis is the health professionals¿ Knowledge, attitude and practice towards MDR TB prevention. Hence, this study will have contributed an input for further studies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 26 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: A+, , course: Understanding Human Rights, language: English, abstract: Milgram¿s work in his 1974 book Obedience to Authority provides a useful analytical tool for understanding the social mechanics that lead to gross violations of human rights. A socially constructed locus of authority supported by an institutional machinery, the socialisation of a worldview based on an us versus them philosophy that supplies ideological legitimacy to the authority¿s commands, and the fragmentation of acts into narrower tasks in hierarchically structured bureaucracies which profit from most people¿s tendency to obey authority. Based on available reports and key decisions made to date, it may be said that the social mechanics described by Milgram are in operation in the U.S. and that President Trump is both the product and the source of a political and social environment that is making it much easier for people to engage in behaviour that constitutes human rights violations - such as discriminatory acts, and that unless there is strong and consistent dissent, it is possible that the situation will continue to deteriorate.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Economic Geography, grade: 1,7, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: 'Just 8 men own same wealth as half the world' - With this title Oxfam published its annual study on global inequality in January this year. Even if the exact calculation of their numbers is controversial, the report itself is shocking. In answer to this news the scientific debate about global inequalities as well as economic convergences, which emerge within the structures and processes of our global capitalism, break out again. The Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, for example, blames global capitalism for this development and sends an appeal for strengthened corporate social responsibility. In this essay I therefore want to examine to which extent global capitalism can be seen as the producer of uneven development rather than of economic convergence. Since the early 1980s the winds of global capitalism became stronger. It was a period where developing countries with their mostly inward-looking and nationalistic policies suffered deep crisis like the Latin American depth crisis as of the early 1980s or the collapse of the Soviet Bloc in 1991. During this era neoliberal economies of the more developed world built the hegemonic power [.]Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Urban and Regional Planning, , language: English, abstract: There has been a lot of research on the relationship between the built environment and walking activity; however numerous studies have created uncertain or conflicting results. In this research the aim is to look into the association of the built environment with walking activity by examining its impact in cities characterised by high-density development and a well-equipped public transportation system. The results show that neighbourhoods with a relatively higher land-use mix and relatively greater access to public transportation have a significantly positive association with walking activity for destinations that are within a 500 m radius of residences. However, no positive association was found between development density by land use and walking activity. Overall, the results of this study indicate that the relationship between the built environment and walking activity differs by neighbourhood scale and the urban built environment in terms of density and public transportation and walking attitudes of people across countries.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject Health - Public Health, grade: 3.82, , language: English, abstract: Menstrual hygiene is a subject that has thus far been largely neglected by public health literature, including the WASH sector (water, sanitation, and hygyiene). As a result, millions of women and girls continue to be denied their rights for WASH, health, education, dignity and gender equity.This study uses a Focus Group Discussion in order to identify the access to menstrual hygiene management (MHM) materials; challenges and the utilization behaviors of refugees and to assess their preference for type of MHM materials.Key findings: Different experiences of sanitary pads utilization were observed among the discussants before their arrival to the camp. Those women coming from an urban area had experience with sanitary pads utilization, while those women coming from rural parts of Somalia used to use cloths.Conclusion: As the High Commissioner¿s Five Commitments to Refugee Women include the provision of sanitary materials to all women and girls of concern, it will be good if the WASH sector and other partners give more attention (besides UNHCR¿s concern) to address the women¿s demand for MHM items. The disposable type of sanitary pads was the preferred MHM item.Recommendation: It is recommendable to connect school¿s latrines with water for the better management of girls¿ menstrual hygiene.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Forster's A Passage to India. It deals with the friendships and the heartache that happens when people of various backgrounds come together in India. It might be hard to assimilate different cultures, but the final results are all ultimately a celebration of diversity within the mystical world of early Twentieth Century Indian and British society.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, language: English, abstract: Although the British participation in the triangle of slavery is clearly evident, the number of publications on abolitionist texts could not compete with those being published by American authors. But the British were the first to abolish slavery officially in 1807 and therefore it appears to be appropriate looking at British abolitionist texts more closely. Many British narrations on slaves have a protagonist who should appeal to the readership in a positive way by depicting him in very 'European' style which means to ascribe several positive features to him as looking European, being educated and civilized and so on.Those created texts can of course only give a very limited insight into the life of an African slave, whereas an account as given by Mary Prince for instance claims its status of being authentic. Therefore I will take a closer look at her narration with respect to her self-depiction, especially the way her role as female slave is portrayed and to what extent physical abuse and ill-treatment plays a crucial role within her story and within the system of slavery as such. Furthermore I will briefly analyze Pringle¿s role as editor of the text and how far he has influenced the authenticity of Prince¿s narration. In order to show some contrastive writing, I will examine the role of Edgeworth¿s 'grateful negro' and whether her fictional writing can be considered an abolitionist piece of literature or not.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Psychology - Learning Psychology, Intelligence Research, grade: 1,5, Aston University, course: Learning and Talent Development, language: English, abstract: An essay about the different evaluation methods of talent management practices. Focusing on issues regarding fairness, ethics and diversity.According to a recent study from Bersin by Deloitte, conducted amongst 220 UK organisations, the spending on Learning and Development (L&D) increased from 2014 to 2015 to an average of £1,068 per learner per year. It was also reported that the number of training hours per employee rose from 14.5 in 2012 to 16.2 in 2015. This increased focus on L&D can be seen as an answer to today¿s global economy that has created a more complex, dynamic and volatile environment in which companies must learn to compete effectively to achieve sustainable growth. In addition, most organisations are facing internally several challenges including the effective management of talent flow, a shortage of needed competencies and an increasingly diverse and mobile workforce which requires them to put a greater focus on L&D.Against this background, it becomes apparent that the high investments in L&D and thereby the possibility for consistent skill up gradation are of great importance, as what might be an effective training program in the past may not be so in the future. However, with this also the question of the measurability of L&D practices and in turn of their identifiable impact on the organisations¿ overall effectiveness arises.In this light, this essay strives to explain the importance of the evaluation of talent management practices by contrasting and comparing different ways of monitoring and evaluating the impact and success of these whilst considering possible issues related to fairness, ethics and diversity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Augsburg, language: English, abstract: Despite having been written a few decades after the romantic period, several elements of Romanticism appear in Hardy¿s novel ¿Far from the Madding Crowd¿. However, the concept of romantic love is strongly criticized in the novel. While playing an important role in the novel and characterizing many relationships, romantic love is always depicted in a negative light.This paper will begin with a definition of the term Romanticism. Following the definition, the paper will deal with how several elements of Romanticism are incorporated in the novel. The next part will examine the concept of romantic love and how it is criticized in Far from the Madding Crowd. After a definition of what is meant by romantic love, two different characters of the novel, who both suffer because of their romantic love towards another person, will be focused on. Finally, the ending of the novel, where the two protagonists are united, will be analysed and the type of love that characterizes their relationship will be discussed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

We improvise frequently when we have to solve problems in every day life, react to unforeseeable events, and communicate with others, especially through spoken language. Communicative competences are the key to speaking a language. Fluency plays an important role in communication. While as teachers it is our goal to enable our pupils to communicate in the new language, we are free in the choice of methods with which we want to accomplish this goal.Overall, classroom games and drama teaching are widely explored in literature from the mid 20th century until today and positive effects on learning and teaching have been reported. However, the mixed form of ¿improv games¿ did not receive much attention and therefore still leaves room for further investigation.Successful communication requires ¿turn-taking¿-skills. These can be trained through improv games because turn-taking is an essential mechanism of improv. Two or more players interact with each other, reacting to expressions and comments, posing questions or solve a task together. The following sections give an insight into what improv games are, how they work and whether they should be used in teaching for different levels of language classes. They key features will be compared to classic teaching methodologies to see how they can integrate into or enhance given techniques.For easy reading I have alternated the use of male and female pronouns, although every he and she includes both genders, if not explicitly stated to be gender specific.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Industrial Management, grade: 3,7 (93%), California State University, Fullerton, language: English, abstract: The paper analysis the automotive industry in general as well as the relative position of the Volkswagen AG. Furthermore, VW's competitors are assessed and recommendations for actions are formulated.In the beginning the creation of the automobile seemed less of a need and more of a luxury, as the cars could only be afforded by the well off. The very first steam car took to the road in France in 1768 ¿ but Cugnot's novel idea did not trigger the beginning of the car industry. After Henry Ford¿s model made its debut, owning a car was a symbol of status, because it could only be afforded by the wealthy. Once the process of Henry Ford¿s mass production was introduced, cars could be afforded by a wider dynamic of people, and ownership became an affordable growing trend. The production of automobiles was a great help to the economy. It provided jobs across industries including positions in steel and machine tool makers for the different metal parts of the car. The increase in the need of supplies and other parts of the car including the battery, head lights, paint, and interior upholstery, were the driving forces for new businesses to thrive. Cars being a part of the everyday norm meant they would need routine car maintenance which became a major source of business. This also led to the increase of petroleum sales as the demanded use of cars increased. When WWII came the US was able to use the jeep for military use, additionally Chrysler reworked the jeep design to create tanks. Moreover, car production in Europe turned its focus from ¿the people¿s car¿ to cars designed for the military.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 1.0, EBC University Düsseldorf, language: English, abstract: The growing interdependence of countries and internationalization of companies is one of the most extensively discussed topics of the last decades.Not only international trade has risen strongly, but also foreign direct investments (FDI) have been increasingly conducted by expanding companies worldwide.Companies widening their range by seizing opportunities internationally are most likely able to fuel their growth, whereas the position of organizations that only operate nationally is continuously weakened.Therefore, especially big multinational corporations from developed countries, like Nestle or Unilever, strive to steadily expand their global presence in order to thrive in a highly competitive global market.Whereas emerging countries, like China or India, are popular to invest in for MNCs, internationalization is increasingly including companies from those developing nations as well. Additionally, those Emerging Market Multinationals (EMNCs) are not only gaining power on an international level but are also becoming effective local competitors for multinationals in their home markets. Hence, losing their market shares to the local competition, MNCs are forced to rethink their strategy in emerging markets.According to the new challenges, multinationals have to face in developing markets the following paper aims to analyze the competitive environment in emerging countries and thus derive promising approaches for MNCs to successfully stabilize their position.The analysis will be based on a theoretical background, including the description of general reasons for internationalization, foreign direct investments as an entry mode as well as the ¿Being International Strategies¿ according to Bartlett/Ghoshal (1989) and broader relevant models. Afterwards, the current situation and competitive environment in emerging markets will be outlined.The analysis itself will be conducted on the example of Nestlé in the Chinese market in order to further assess MNCs¿ position in developing countries. After giving a short company introduction, the Chinese food processing industry, as well as Nestlé's internationalization strategy, will be examined. In order to further assess the company`s position and performance in China Porter¿s 5 forces framework will be applied.To conclude, general implications for the competitive situation in emerging markets and MNC¿s strategies as well as an evaluation of Nestlé¿s position in China are derived and outlined.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, grade: 1.0, EBC University Düsseldorf, course: Economic Policy, language: English, abstract: In a globalizing world with increasing international trade and growing markets as well as crisis influencing countries worldwide, it becomes ever more important to evaluate and compare the economic performance of different nations as well as their impacts on each other.One method that allows assessing a country¿s macroeconomic performance is the 'magic square' according to Kaldor (1971). This approach takes four variables into consideration, which should be pursued amongst an economy:1. Sustainable growth2. Equilibrium of balance of payments3. Price stability4. High employment.In the following paper, the economic progress of the United Kingdom within the previous 10 years should be evaluated using the 'magic square' as a framework. Therefore, there will be the main focus on the most relevant macroeconomic indicators, such as the growth of GDP, inflation rate, unemployment rate and current account balance, in order to provide a sound overview regarding UK¿s overall economic development.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 36 pp. Englisch.

M., course: Intercultural Competencies, language: English, abstract: The aim of this Term Paper is to show ways of communication between IT-Personnel and Business Units employees and how to optimize it. To do so, this thesis is structured in 5 chapters. Chapter one gives an overview over the general situation and the growing importance of smooth communication between Business Unit and IT Department. The next chapter deals with the special relationship between the two departments and gives a review of historical events. The third one examines ways to improve intercultural communication to overcome the hurdles and thus enable an efficient cooperation. The formal position of the IT department in a specific company plays an important role. This ensures that the IT department is not a foreign object, which is forced out. The quantitative and qualitative size of the IT Personnel determines the speed at which new orders can be processed. This ensures satisfaction on both sides. A survey among CIOs for the management of IT budget by the specialist department revealed that in 2013 48.1% were negative vote. Another factor is the qualification of each party. As the uncertainty avoidance index has shown, through the teaching of basic knowledge about the activities and backgrounds of the different areas can reduce fears to say or do something wrongBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Firstly, the terms media, culture and Britishness will be described and discussed. Secondly, examples for stereotype-creation and stereotype-use in the media will be given and explained.Britishness is a flexible and dynamic concept. The understanding of Britishness differs, different definitions are applied. Britishness and understanding Britishness are influenced by several factors, such as social structure, history, culture and the media. Despite that, the concept is often used by politicians and the media as an exclusionary force. The media often present Britishness by showing everything that is ¿supposed to be¿ non-British. The following analysis will show that mainly immigrants, people of colour (POC) and Muslims are in the focus of the discourse.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

The history of competition law reveals the importance of regulation within the market to support economists¿ visions which are naturally reflected in the evolution of judgments concerning the economic terms used in Articles 101 and 102¿s judgments.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - Topic: International Organisations, grade: 14/20 ('gut'), College of Europe, language: English, abstract: Since the end of the Cold War, military capacities as a means of geopolitical power have been considered to become less important in favour of economic issues. But even though the latter do not have the same obvious striking force as gun power, certain economic aspects can also represent a fundamental element of national security.For the European Union, one of ¿well identified areas¿ in order to protect the economy is energy supply, respectively energy security. Since the number of countries that deliver most of the oil and gas to the EU is very small and some of them are involved in geopolitical quarrels, the EU seeks to diversify its energy supplier structure. One opportunity to do so might be the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).In this paper, I argue that TTIP is supposed to be, among others, a geoecomomic tool of the EU in order to diversify its energy suppliers and to reach more energy security, but this will only work on a medium to long term perspective and to a limited extent.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Near East, Near Orient, grade: 69/100, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, course: Political Society of the Middle East, language: English, abstract: In mid-March 2011, protests against arbitrary leadership and for democratic institutions took place in Syria's major cities. The Syrian regime has responded brutally and the dynamics have since been developing into an ongoing armed conflict. Soon counting its sixth year, the Syrian conflict has been described as sectarian in character. Other scholars have criticized the usage of this term and the concept behind it in this particular context. Overall, this paper will argue that the concept of 'sectarianism' does help to explain the current conflict in Syria, while listing and explaining the areas in which the concept helps, as well as stressing the dangers implied when using the term and which analyses have to accompany the usage of the concept, i.e. how the concept does not help to explain the conflict. For this purpose, a historical perspective will be avoided in order to account for the modernity of the involvement of sectarianism in Syrian politics. The author attempts to put the concept into its modern context. Main time frames and features of the conflict outlined in the following are regarded as critical in the sectarianization of the political sphere, and therefore in the development of the conflict. This includes Hafez al-Assad's coup to power, and the strategies employed by his regime before and after the uprisings. In particular, the building of a sectarian narrative and how it serves to supply resources to the regime will be described. Lastly, this paper will outline the involvement of sectarianism in international as well as extremist participation in the conflict. Taking all these factors into account, the main argument of this paper is that non-doctrinal sectarianism is involved in the conflict and needs to be taken into account when attempting an explanation of the conflict. However, it will also argue that sectarianism does not serve to superficially explain the conflict as an outbreak of age-old hatreds between Sunni and Shii Muslims, and that, most importantly, many more fault lines, additional to sect, are involved. These arguments lead to a conclusion that an explanation of the conflict will involve the concept of 'sectarianism', but most importantly needs to go beyond simple binaries and has to include the multi-dimensionality, heterogeneity, and complexity of the political set-up before the uprisings, during the uprisings, as well as during the conflict up to this day.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, grade: 2.1, University of Lincoln, course: Criminology and History (BA) Hons., language: English, abstract: Rape and sexual violence do not currently stand as separate crimes under international law; instead they are subsumed into the area of crime such as torture, genocide and the grave breaches of the Genocide Convention. As such international law recognises that rape at the least may accompany acts of Genocide and Crimes against Humanity as a tool of genocide.The definition of rape as genocide remains hazy, the ICTR and ICTY have interpreted rape in war conflict in various prosecution cases with different interpretations, this may be because that rape as genocide is a ¿recent occurrence within international law¿. Rape is also seen as a product of war, a consequence of war rather than a component of war, as it should be interpreted as.In conflicts such as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Rwanda, rape should be seen as a tool of genocide because of the deliberate intent of destruction as defined by The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide 1948, specifically Article II (ICRC, Article II). Rape at the very least demonstrates condition (b) of Article II which stipulates that there has been an act of ¿causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group¿ (ICRC, Article II). This assertion can be demonstrated in the cases of Rwanda in 1994 and Bosnia-Herzegovina 1990-1994. The emphasis of genocide remains focused on the collective, since there has to be demonstrative proof of intent of destruction of the group not just the individual. Rape however is a personal, individual experience and this complicates judicial responses to defining rape as genocide.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: commendation, University of London, language: English, abstract: Lawyers ¿may be trusted to the ends of the earth¿. This statement might not reflect the public opinion anymore. The scandals around lawyers and their legal opinions in the wake of the financial crisis and the publication of the ¿Panama Papers¿ raised the questions, if lawyers satisfy their clients ignoring risks and whether outcomes-focused regulation allows these risks to be ignored due to its wide scope.To answer these questions, this essay will first explain the role of the lawyer to satisfy clients' needs (2.) with regard to the limitations of satisfying the clients' needs (3.) and the risks involved with the dissatisfaction and satisfaction of clients' needs (4.). Following on from these risks, the essay will look at the definition of outcomes-focused regulation and its aim (5.) and whether this approach allows ignoring the risks (6.).This assessment will focus in particular on the guidance to transactions lawyers in commercial practise. For this purpose a transaction lawyer is a solicitor who gives legal advice on a transaction, but does not conduct advocacy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Still, both take a very different approach since they also have very different key messages to send out. In the case of Donald Trump the official photographs can be considered as to be set in a broader political 'communicative context' to underline his core message of him being the central figure to solve Americäs problems.For Obama, this applies in particular to his unifying and optimistic message ('Yes we can') of the United States of America as well as to his image as a young, agile President from a new generation of politicians.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Health - Public Health, University of New Orleans, language: English, abstract: This article majorly focusses on value-based healthcare delivery model and describes what value-based delivery model means and entails and goes further to explain in details the four types of value-based delivery model, which are Accountable Care Organization (ACO), Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH), Pay for Performance (P4P) and Bundled Payments. Value-based healthcare delivery model is a solution that is emerging and it aims at addressing the healthcare costs that keep on rising and to make it cheaper and easier for people to find the care they need. In this model, hospitals and their doctors get payments for keeping people healthy and for ensuring the health of chronic diseases patients gets to improve in an evidence-based approach and a cost effective manner. The article further explains that this value-based model is designed around and for patients, who in the end benefit from a team concerned with coordination of their health and give the correct information to help them get the right care across our healthcare system. All individual patient needs are met by the medical care teams whether they be chronic, acute or preventive. The article concludes that whatever the value-based model you choose, all of them aim at delivering better health in a more affordable way. Moreover, the way a value-based care will look depends on what approach the doctors and healthcare systems take in its implementation. Some of the models are very visible while others are invisible and therefore you may get care under one of these models and never even know that you have. I therefore find this article very descriptive on my topic of interest and is gives very vital information that I need for my research paper.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Health - Nursing Science - Miscellaneous, grade: 67.00, , language: English, abstract: In patient-centered care, end of life is one of the most important aspects of health care systems. Advanced nursing and medical studies have increased the knowledge regarding the process of dying, giving the humans the privilege of selecting the method, location and approximate period of death. Similarly, intervening in the death process can also increase the lifespan of a person, even when there is little hope of living longer or full recovery. Despite the vast knowledge of mortality, there are still contemporary end-of-life issues that remain contradictory among different cultures.One of the primary reasons why end-of-life issues have not been sufficiently addressed is because of different values held by various religions, cultures and beliefs. Life is highly valued in most of the cultures and religious groups. It is believed that only the Supreme Being is allowed to take, give or control how long a person is supposed to live. Moreover, there are high emotions that are often attached to people since the death of a person means complete extraction of the physical presence of a person. Thus, such emotions and cultural beliefs are the major hindrances that cripple the smooth readdress of end-of-life.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 12 pp. Englisch.

Furthermore, they do not limit the user to a single point of input, but instead offer various forms of interaction. However, gestures also raise issues that are not relevant with traditional methods of input. The need to be learned and remembered, which requires the development of guides that promote the discoverability and memorability of these gestures and deal with input and recognition errors. Another aspect is the design of the gestures itself, which should make them memorable and easy and comfortable to execute.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.
