Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: Scholarly Paper, Moi University, language: English, abstract: ABSTRACTLanguage is a great asset that God gave to human beings. Language has power to heal and destroy the entire universe. Thus it is imperative that good use be made of it. We use language in diverse ways (to write, speak, reason, abuse, curse etc). Linguists argue that the primary function of language is to formulate and convey information about the world we live in. In other words, language is a very crucial tool in our daily lives. We live and act because of language. The paper philosophically analyzed the power of language in society, and suggested possible ways that can boost peace and cohesion in a cosmopolitan society, such as Kenya. The study focused on the concept of bunyon among the Kalenjins and by extension other ethnic communities of Kenya. Purposive and random sampling methods were employed to identify the study population of 29 informants. Data was collected through oral interviews.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 28 pp. Englisch.

Since the 1960s US presidential campaignads on TV have been increasingly successful and cutting-edge.They sometimes were so convincing they even swung adecision. Over the last decades the predominant topics in USfederal politics were the Cold War as well as national securityand the US military. In 1964 the presidential election campaignwas highly influenced by the escalating situation in Vietnam andthe general disquiet caused by the arms race and nuclearweapons. The American psyche was collectively anxious aboutthe latent atomic menace so it suggested itself to address fearin a presidential campaign ad. The Nixon campaign 1972 dealtwith one of the genuine Republican topics: Military. Due to itssuccess it was remade in two subsequent campaigns called¿Tank Ride¿ in 1988 for George Bush and 2004 in ¿WeaponsFloridä for George W. Bush. The latter will be examined in thispaper, too.However, there are different approaches to persuade thevoting public; one of the most favorable techniques is playingon the people¿s emotions. Thus, it is not surprising that USpresidential campaign ads have a history of exploiting fear intelevision ads. It leads from 1964 until 2004 and aims atpersuading voters by the well-directed use of sounds, imagesand language.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg (Rechtswissenschaften), course: Advanced Lectures in EU Economic Law, language: English, abstract: The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Thomas Hammarberg, said in his speech on 8th March 2011 ¿Every day women in Europe experience one of the most deep-rooted injustices - being paid less than a man for work of equal value.¿Equality between women and men is one of the objectives of the European Union. With the aid of legislation, case law and amendments to the contracts it had gradually succeeded to give emphasis to this principle and apply it in the EU.This work will now try to show you this development. In the beginning, there will be a description of legal framework in the EU. This framework essentially bases on Article 157 TFEU and the Directive 2006/54. Afterwards follows the development of case studies by the jurisprudence of the ECJ in more detail. Keep on with the content of Article 157 TFEU with a closer look on the questions: What is pay What is equal pay for equal work or work of equal value When exists discrimination What is the difference between direct and indirect discrimination ¿Well come forward, but still long way to gö: So the initial assessment of the agreement is to promote equal opportunities between women and men in the private sector. Is it right and more: is it enough Let's see if this question can be answered at the end of this work.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, University of Hamburg, language: English, abstract: In language, various ideas can be expressed in alternating ways which, in the end, can all have the same meaning. However, the speaker¿s choices are influenced and restricted by linguistic factors.The following example of a fictive story shows, how various different words can all have the same meaning ¿Yesterday, I went to the park and I saw a boy who killed a pigeon by throwing big chunks of bread at its head. This made me so mad that I had to walk up to the boy and yell at him. Telling him that he shouldn¿t have done what he did, he told me that he didn¿t do it intentionally.¿ In this little story, ¿this¿, ¿what he did¿, and ¿it¿ all refer to the action of the boy killing the duck with a piece of bread.When the speaker of the story chose the pronoun ¿it¿, he must have thought that his audience would easily identify ¿it¿ as the action of killing the duck. Speakers often tend to use pronouns instead of using the antecedent because it simplifies and shortens speech analysis. However, sometimes speech analysis can become very complicated and pronouns confuse the listener, let alone simplify the discourse. For example:(1) ¿Peter hit Harry. After this, he didn¿t like him anymore.¿In this case, the listener would have to have contextual information to determine whether Peter did not like Harry anymore or vice versa. Just from reading the sentence, the reader would not know what is really going on. As in this example, or in many other utterances and texts, where chains of pronouns strike the audience, discourse analysis becomes highly complicated.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,7, University of Kassel, language: English, abstract: In the sixteenth century, when Europe's interest in Africa moved away from deposits of gold to the need of work force, the Atlantic Slave Trade began. Because of expansion to the New World, Europeans needed reliable workers who were not suffering seriously from diseases and who were used to a tropical climate. After indigenous peopled had proved unreliable and unsuited, African people emerged as excellent workers because they were used to the climate, resistant to tropical diseases, and also hard working on plantations (Boddy-Evans). The Atlantic Slave Trade took place across the Atlantic ocean, from the Western coast of Europe where goods were brought to the Western part of Africa. Slaves were then shipped through the Middle Passage to the New World and were traded with goods, which were brought to Europe. The so-called triangular trade ended in the nineteenth century through the abolition of slavery. Considering the forced migration of African people, the continent suffered great losses. About 13 million people were shipped to the Americas. There are still debates as to how much the continent was, and still is, affected by the trade. Due to the fact that slavery was not new to Africans and the influx of goods, the continent gained material benefits. But the loss of people and, therefore, the loss of work force for the continent itself, prove that Africa still suffers from that period. In particular, continuous poverty and underdevelopment play a major role (Boddy-Evans). The following will be focused on the effects on the economy, society, and people in Africa due to the Atlantic Slave Trade. It will be clarified how Africa changed and how great the effects on African society were and still are today. A working paper on a conference about reparations will be included to illuminate today's extent of the effects.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 28 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Leadership and Human Resource Management - Miscellaneous, grade: 75 %, Queensland University of Technology, course: Contemporary Issues in HRM, language: English, abstract: Since the beginning of the 1990¿s knowledge management has gained a significant role in research as well as in practice in today¿s global organisations. This is due to several changes that took place in the last 20 years, one of the most important ones being the general and global shift from manufacturing to service business (Evans, 2003), increasing global competition and the rise and development of information and communication technology (ICT) (Davenport & Prusak, 1998).Information and knowledge today are often seen as the main determining factors of competitiveness of organisations (Evans, 2003). Modern organisations therefore have to ask themselves how to implement an effective knowledge management.The terms knowledge and knowledge management are difficult to define and differ in meaning according to the context. Therefore, in order to keep it simple, both terms should be seen, in this essay, in the context of an organisation¿s knowledge management system which is ¿a system that enhances organizational learning through facilitation of knowledge (both tacit and explicit) exchange and sharing¿ (Yahya & Goh, 2002, p. 458).This essay will deal with the link between knowledge management and human resource management (HRM) and in particular with the question how HRM can contribute to share tacit knowledge within an organisation.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Document from the year 2012 in the subject Medicine - Pharmacology, Pharmacy, , language: English, abstract: During the last years flow cytometry has been developed into an important diagnostic tool with a wide range of applications. Whereas the differentiation of leukocytes is most often encountered, flow cytometry also renders itself especially useful in the study of platelets. Commonly, surface markers are of key interest, but the fact that platelets can be conveniently activated in vitro offers the opportunity to investigate intracellular signal transduction processes, which lead to the release of calcium into the cytosol. And it is this rise of intracellular calcium that flow cytometry is able to detect in real time through the use of suitable calcium-sensitive markers.It is the aim of this book to put together an overview of this technique and therefore to provide a sound starting ground for its application to clinical and experimental investigations and also for its further development.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 36 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Musicology - Miscellaneous, The University of Malaya, language: English, abstract: In the world of music, Claude Debussy became the foremost composer of the new musical impressionism. His aim was to express ¿the inexpressible,¿ in a manner that would ultimately reinvent music drama as ¿drama in music.¿ Through his only completed opera, Pelléas et Mélisande, Debussy created a new technique designed to ¿convey the état d¿âme of the characters and the maze of unconscious conflicts between them.¿Debussy chose to set the poetry of Materlinck¿s drama, Pelléas et Mélisande, possibly because of the importance of nature within the drama, a quality that appealed to both artists¿ impressionist in expressing the changing aspects of nature, especially of light. Debussy began composition on the work in August 1893, starting with the climactic love scene in the fourth act. Throughout the process of composition, Debussy worked to create a new original technique away from the prevailing contemporary German and Italian style, although he found it difficult to fight the influence of Wagner.The general subdued character of Debussy¿s score is evident due to its subtlety, restraint, and understatement, resulting from his radically revised approach to text-setting and employment of the orchestra. The use of aria and recitative in their conventional forms is abandoned. Debussy¿s vocal line carries the text in long, soft declamation that sets one syllable to one note.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 24 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Literature - Basics, grade: 3,0, University of Kassel, course: Literaturwissenschaften - Education and Drama, language: English, abstract: Surrounded by traditions and habits of mind and action, working-class people have never received the chance to realize their potential. The working-class is defined by the relation of the status to manual occupations and limits economic standing as well as cultural ties and shared views (Roberts 3-4). The people's life, therefore, is prefabricated and follows strict traditions and habits. When Roberts says that 'working-class women had learned when young that their place was in the home' and that 'it was accepted by all that the ultimate resposibility for the home was theirs,' (Roberts 125) it becomes obvious that, for example, the women's task is restricted to the kitchen work, the household, and to raising the children. Women know from their childhood that to fulfill these tasks is their destiny and because of missing possibilities and the argument of traditional habits, hardly lots of women and men are trying to escape from these circumstances. Traditions and conventions in this context can also be seen as external influences that restrains individuality. Being a member of the working-class means contribution and passing on a tradition.Furthermore, working-class members feel a certain kind of repletion according to material needs which keeps them from changing the status quo. Status quo should be defined as the situation as it is now, or as it was before (Oxford 1500). Being different from somebody else, i. e. in this case from the community, is not accepted. A person always has to be a member of the group and act like one, whereas individuality is deprecated by the others (Kugler-Euerle 92). Since education is seen as useless and in contrast to the conventions, educated people distinguish themselves from the community as a whole.The following will be focused on the term Education and the implication of escaping from the boundaries of working-class members to achieve independence and individuality. The convictions and the strength to put up with the strain of traditions and conventions will be exemplified through Educating Rita by Willy Russell.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 28 pp. Englisch.

This assignment deals with the Work-Life-Balance of working women and men. The importance of this topic raised in the last few years and the need for flexible working models and for example the support of child care is getting more and more important. But how can Work-Life-Balance be defined and what is the importance of it There is no agreed definition of Work-life Balance. ¿Work-life Balance is about people having a measure of control over when, where and how they work. It is achieved when an individual's right to a fulfilled life inside and outside paid work is accepted and respected as the norm, to the mutual benefit of the individual, business and society¿. Only if the relation between life and work, the triangle of time, money and health is balanced, humans can meet the demands of the age of communication with energy and love of life. Also it does not mean an equal balance in units of time. Related terms include 'lifestyle balance' and 'life balance'. There is no perfect, one-size fits all balance one should be striving for. The best Work-Life-Balance is different for everyone because of different priorities and different lives. For some people it means to balance their caring responsibilities for children with work, while others want more time for themselves and for their leisure activities. Trying to schedule an equal number of hours for each work and personal activities is usually unrewarding and unrealistic because ¿life is and should be more fluid than that¿Summarized can be said that Work-Life-Balance can be defined as a satisfactory level of involvement or ¿fit¿ between the multiple roles in a person¿s life.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 24 pp. Englisch.

Thanks to advanced production and extraction methods, and due to new discoveries, the available reserves have grown over the last ten years. During this period of time, oil prices rose considerably. These increases in price are associated with the increasing energy demands of growing economies across the planet and a shifting of weight between the physical and financial oil market. The goal of this work is to examine the correlation between physical and financial crude oil markets as well as establish an explanation for the drastic increase in crude oil price in the past decade. The work is organized as follows: To begin, the characteristics of crude oil as well as its value chain are presented and examined. This is followed by an explanation of the physical and financial oil trade. To conclude, the fundamentals of the world oil market and the financial oil trade are examined to determine the relevance of causation with respect to the recent price increase.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

What will be described will be a ¿felt environment¿ allied to a rhetoric of architecture based upon an entirely original way of dividing up, or conceptualizing, urban space. This book will offer an insightful yet playful decoding of our experience of the built environment applied to Beijing as an exciting, largely newly-built world-city, whose buildings stand in need of a commentary ¿ especially the official ones and, by no means least, the ¿big name¿ ones (CCTV and the Olympic/National stadium or ¿Bird¿s Nest¿).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Koblenz, language: English, abstract: This Bachelor Thesis is exploring the Impact of the lately introduced Concept of Creating Shared Value (CSV) on Developing Countries.CSV has first been published in the key article ¿The Big Idea: Creating Shared Value¿ by KRAMER and PORTER. It describes a new approach in the relation between companies and societal needs. The implementation of this concept in developing countries with there particular needs, appears to be promising for the revelation of a high-contrast result.The Thesis is starting with the usual introductory part prior to giving exact definitions of the term ¿Developing Country¿, CSV and the related concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Hereby, CSV is getting critically discussed. Following is the fundamental methodical instrument, the Case Studies. Three CSV-projects are analysed and their impact on the affected developing countries displayed. The fourth Chapter summarises the outcome of the prior sections and presents the results.The key advantages of CSV are the inclusion of the profit maximisation principle, its accentuated Cooperation between participants and the recognition of Interdependences between the differing areas of impact.Contrary, there is a vast need for further scientific research. The thesis reveals disadvantages as a deficit in distinct definition of the concept and the question if the advantages of CSV, as increased innovation or new markets, will be sufficient to compete with the current approaches.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 48 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Economics - Macro-economics, general, grade: excellent, Berlin School of Economics and Law, language: English, abstract: This paper examines an alternative strategy for sustainability and economic developmentbased on de-growth assumptions. This concept is proposed by ecological economists, who consider there to be a natural limitation on economic growth, imposed by necessary environmental regulation. Moreover they oppose the neoclassical ideas, which are considered as pro growth theories, arguing that economic growth itself does not contribute to the social and economic development, therefore it should not be sustained. Accepting this proposition the author makes an attempt to verify the feasibility of a de-growth strategy for macroeconomic stability, applying a post-Keynesian methodology for analysis. The Kaleckian model is used as the basic approach to derive the model restrictions for the de-growth strategy that maintains macroeconomic stability. The findings of this paper will provide policy recommendations to sustain macroeconomic stability, while taking full account of the degrowth assumptions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

From year 2005, Chinese companies accelerated their development of solar panels. Even China government has started promoting companies to develop solar technology and use solar products. Many companies and factories are producing and selling the solar panels.
