Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Indonesia is one of the main producing countries of rattan. It dominantly supplied the world rattan trade among the producer countries. Indonesia has an advantage compared to other countries with its abundant supply of wild and cultivated rattan. A survey presented an estimation about 80 to 90 percent of the world's rattan raw materials come from this country. But, Indonesian government had applied totally export ban policy on rattan raw materials and semi-finished products since early 2012. Such policy was considered as an appropriate way to overcome the shortage of rattan materials supply for domestic industries and attempted to change Indonesia from a raw exporter become a finished-product exporter. This study examines the demand for Indonesiäs rattan in Germany from 1991-2008 by using Transcendental Logarithmic as a tool. Germany is chosen since it is the most important country that has the high potency to become the rattan marketing in Europe. It is also the biggest importing country among European member countries and it can be considered as a competitive market. Based on our policy analysis, the export of rattan raw materials is still giving economic profit for Indonesia.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Due to the unemployment, job insecurity, stress and many other factors, population health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is affected. Persons in higher socioeconomic status tend to have higher HRQoL. A cross sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling of both employed and unemployed individuals in Attica, Greece. To evaluate HRQoL SF-36v2 questionnaire was used. The studied population consisted of 1049 people with an average age of 37.1 years. 91% were Greek, 36.8% had high school graduates and 62.4 were employed. In univariate analysis, work status, educational level, age, low income, parenthood, chronic illness and nationality were found to be related to the score of the participants at least one dimension. In linear regression analysis, there are statistically significant correlations between educational level, work status, chronic illness and age with HRQoL. Improvements of HRQoL should be directed towards chronic illness prevention, lifelong education, better information and unemployment reduction. HRQoL is not only a health policy issue but mainly an economic and social policy matter.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Boko Haram desire to redeem non-Muslims from perdition, liberate Muslims from persecution, protect Islam from criticism, and revenge perceived acts of injustices against Muslims. The group has embarked on this aim by allotting blame, vilifying the enemy-Other, pressing for a holy war, encouraging martyrdom, and alluding to an apocalypse. Boko Haram¿s audience is made to believe that Allah has assigned Boko Haram the task to liberate and restore an Islamic haven in Nigeria. Therefore, opposition from the Nigerian government or Western forces is constructed as actions of opposition, thus killing members of the opposition becomes a celestial and noble cause. This juxtaposition serves to encourage the violent Jihad which leaders of Boko Haram claims Allah assigned them to lead in the first place. As a result of this cyclical communication, media houses, the Nigerian government, Christians, and Western ideals become the symbolic evil, against which Muslims, sympathizers and would-be-recruits must unite. By locking Islam against the Nigerian government, Western ideals and Christianity in a characteristically hostile manner, Boko Haram attempts to preclude any real solution.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -One of the most important viewpoints of data mining concerning the analysis of a large amount of data and samples with different characteristics includes clustering which is associated with methods and techniques that have frequently been applied in different fields of researches. A well-known algorithm of clustering is K-means by which the data are divided into K classes based upon a distance criterion. In this study, the K-means method applies for data classification derived from exploration boreholes and surface sampling in the Parkam deposit. The results derived based on the case of borehole data showed that the increasing Cu grade values resulted in a significant increase in Mo grades, a significant decrease in Pb grades followed by an increase, and the Zn grades varying comparable to Pb. With regards to the relationships between these elements it could be concluded that the meteoric waters promoted the mobilization of Pb and Zn from the potassic to the phyllic zone but the meteoric waters were not effective enough to cause the mobilization of Cu, and this element together with Mo remained immobile. Finally, equation of Cu grade estimation is also presented for surface data.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Aristotle, in most of his texts, emphasizes the ambiguity of being. ¿Being is meant more than one way¿ implies that there are modes of being. The modes of being also manifests the how of a being clearly. When as a being human being and its be-ing are taken into consideration, this how that is stressed, might be associated with the question of ¿what is related to entelekheia of human being ¿ [.]entelekheia of human being is associated with (a) the definition of happiness (b) intellect that presents what-be-ing of human being. Aristotle, in The Nicomachean Ethics, defines happiness as ¿an activity in accordance with complete virtue¿ (1102a 5-6). In this definition of happiness, concepts that are situated in it, are investigated one by one. In other words it is focused on the concepts which are ¿soul¿, ¿virtue¿, ¿complete virtue¿ and ¿activity¿. Besides, within the context of the completeness of human being in respect to happiness, which activity is in accordance with virtue is also clarified. Therefore, concept of intellect and its activity are investigated elaborately.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This work was facilitated by Cyprus International University under the supervision of the Vice Rector and Energy Expert, Assoc. Prof Serkan Abbasoglu. It presents the analysis and evaluation of data from a real world photovoltaic system at Cyprus Solar Technology (CYS) in Nicosia, Northern Cyprus. It also compares the evaluation with simulation results of three globally known PV software tools: pvPlanner, PVsyst and Homer. The parameters evaluated in this study are energy production, specific yield, performance ratio and capacity factor. CYS¿s results were first analyzed with respect to the meteorological condition of Nicosia; then, they were compared with the values obtained from the three simulators. Detailed explanations are provided for the monthly, seasonal and annual variation of CYS data and simulation results in this study. Solar PV thrives in regions where there is high irradiation and long sunny hours. The simulation tools appear to underestimate CYS¿s energy production. Different reasons led to this variation between real world application and simulation results. These reasons are discussed through this study in detail.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Since 2010, Greece is in unprecedented financial crisis and turmoil, due to its public debt. This led to a wave of social unrest, and eventually to the ascension of SYRIZA to power. It was practically the first time when the non-socialist Left formed a government in a European country. These developments generated worldwide interest, and they have been closely watched by both mainstream and alternative media. Their reports convey intense affect: hope, curiosity, fear, enmity, disappointment ¿ according to who or when is speaking. Thus, a large corpus of relevant texts already exists. These often seem a fruit of projection: people adapt and translate what they see to a pre-existing, familiar vocabulary. This is inevitable; any discourse on politics involves a work of translation, even when it is pronounced in the native language. This book provides its own version, based on a view 'from the inside', or from between the inside and the outside, which attempts to approach the political (and the economical ¿to the extent we can distinguish them) from a point of view of the 'materialism of the encounter', without reducing them to moralism, legalism, militarism, or any other essentialism.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.
