Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Peter Delpeut, filmmaker and former deputy-director of the Nederlands Filmmuseum (now known as Eye Film Instituut Nederland) argues that in every profession there are topics that remain unspoken. They are not willingly kept secret: we are simply unable to speak about them. Within the domain of film preservation, the film fragment is one of these unspeakable matters. And yet film fragments, often unidentified or decaying, populate archives in great quantities. Since 1990, a unique case in the archival world, the Filmmuseum has been preserving and proudly presenting such fragments in compilations called 'Bits & Pieces'. The success of this initiative proves that film fragments captivate the beholder: they ¿speak¿ to the audience because of their very incompleteness. It also shows that fragments can be a valuable asset for a film archive and are therefore worthy of preservation. This essay argues that film fragments, like other forms of ruins, are invaluable sources of constructive philosophical reflection: beautiful and yet incomplete, hard to define, they invite archivists and audiences to reflect critically upon the history of cinema, its canons, its selections and exclusions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This study explores the ways in which moshing and extreme metal music reflects and informs the social worlds of metal fans. It investigates how underground subcultural practices contribute to our understandings of how violence, pain, and pleasure can be thought with compassion and possibility in leisure. Key concepts such as liminality (Turner, 1979), Dionysian aesthetics (Maffesoli, 1993; Bataille, 1986/1989), and Cagean philosophy (Cage, 1957; Kostelanetz, 1996) are used to examine the nuances and subtleties of moshing culture, practices and behaviours in Edmonton,Canada. Themes of physicality and reality of participating in a moshpit, pit etiquette, negotiation of space within the moshpit, and the significance of moshing for local metal fans are explored. The study accentuated how tensions, pleasures, and resistant practices are necessary in creating meaningful leisure experiences and calls on us to re-think the ways in which marginal leisure practices can be included within dominant leisure discourses.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the topic of European Identity, both on a discursive and on a practical level. Despite the ambiguity of the concept, in view of the continuous enlargement and changing borders of the European Union, identity started being perceived as a possible solution towards peace keeping, successful implementation of politics and achievement of the kind of unity necessary for holding Europe together. The present study looks into the possibilities of becoming European by an extensive study of one of the most popular top-down initiatives of the European Union, the European Capitals of Culture Programme. 'You can't fall in love with the common market' Jacques Delors said to point that while free trade is necessary,it is definitely not sufficient. While there can be no denial to the possibility of falling for a grandiose project like the one discussed in the book, it remains to be seen in how far such a programme manages to instill the desired feeling of Europeaness.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Crowdfunding is a development that recently caught a lot of attention. Over the last years, many crowdfunding platforms have been established and often proved to be successful in raising money. This phenomenon has been highlighted in the media as a new form of fund raising that has the potential to lead to revolutionary business models. On the basis of its increased efficiency, it is claimed that crowdfunding may even lead to a paradigm shift in the established ways of present-day funding. Even so, crowdfunding remains a topic on which academic research is, to present date, very limited. The result is that the concept of crowdfunding is not well defined, which leaves much room for discussion. The scale on which crowdfunding takes place is to a large extent still unknown. This research is of an exploratory and descriptive nature, in order to bring more insight to the phenomenon of crowdfunding.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The world is experiencing demographic transition from higher level of fertility to lower level of fertility. However in Africa the pace of declining fertility is very low. This book analyse the low pace of declining fertility as the result of existence of son preference in Africa and Tanzania in particular. Parental preferences toward sons¿ influences the number of the children they could have, hence affecting the family size. This book use parity progression ratio to examine parents¿ behavior of continuing child bearing to search for a male offspring. Also, sex ratio at last birth was used to examine parental intention to stop childbearing after having at least one surviving son. The findings in this book show that parents¿ continue having children until they reached the desired number of sons. This book, therefore, provide an understanding of the relationship between son preference and family size. Furthermore, understanding of the relationship between son preference and family size are of great importance for the policy makers in order to deal adequately with the problems related to family size and population growth.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

In a fragile democracy, such as Kosovo, media have enormous responsibility and are a key component to create expedient environment that stimulate the system of democratic values in society. Media, politicians and voters are the crucial factors that commonly pursue influence. The research study argues that many media in Kosovo have filed to fulfill its task toward the public opinion.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This paper investigates a simultaneous impact of monetary and fiscal policies on economic growth in a single model. The data for 21 OECD countries covering the period 1970-2009 is gathered for our study of policy effect on economic growth. A quadratic specification method is employed by constructing a relationship between economic growth and several policy variables in order to find optimal values for government debt level, tax revenues and interest rate that lead to the highest economic growth, which is a contribution of this paper. Furthermore, a threshold method is exploited to determine the highest growth rate at different tax and interest rates given a particular debt level. Another distinctive feature of this research is uttered in simultaneous application of both a quadratic specification method and a threshold method in the same paper which has never been done before. We employ a state-of-art advanced estimation technique which ensures a robustness of stated conclusions. According to the results, the highest economic growth performance is achieved when total tax revenue reach 23.75% of GDP and when a government debt level does not exceed 41% of GDP.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Stories of lengthy wait lists for subsidized housing assistance are rampant in newspapers, housing advocacy groups and tenant organizations and this anecdotal evidence often points to populous cities with large housing agencies as having the most unreasonable wait times. Is this phenomenon a result of housing agency size or are there other determinants that lead to longer applicant duration on the waitlist This study hypothesized that larger public housing agencies (PHAs) have longer average wait times for applicants and that within the agencies¿ spectrum of programs, voucher programs have longer average wait times than public housing programs. Previous studies had either focused solely on waitlist characteristics or the effect of agency size on management efficiency. This study provides quantitative analysis on the relationship between agency size (i.e. the number of units administered) and average applicant wait time, which is largely absent from existing literature.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Manufacturing sector plays a significant role in the growth of economy. Cost efficiency and effectiveness have always been the critical factors to achieve cost competitiveness in manufacturing organizations. Various CMS are adopted for value creation through cost management and control. These CMS need to be carefully selected, implemented and managed to get the desired outcomes. Organizational culture dimensions affect the selection and implementation of these strategies. The organizations promoting innovation as a culture are more likely to achieve cost competitiveness through CMS. This text contributes to and extends existing studies by providing insights into the effects of organizational culture on CMS by empirically testing the linkages. It provides a theoretical background for further future researches in the area, and provides with information that could be used by the manufacturing sector organizations to achieve and enhance value creation through CMS.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -There is no official definition of recession, but there is general recognition that the term refers to a period of decline in economic activity. Very short periods of decline are not considered recessions. Most commentators and analysts use, as a practical definition of recession, two consecutive quarters of decline in a country¿s real (inflation adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP)¿the value of all goods and services a country produces. Although this definition is a useful rule of thumb, it has drawbacks. A focus on GDP alone is narrow, and it is often better to consider a wider set of measures of economic activity to determine whether a country is indeed suffering a recession. Using other indicators can also provide a timelier gauge of the state of the economy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book analyzes the neutrality of the liberal state. This area of enquiry poses a genuine and very important question for political theory: how should the state be constrained in relation to autonomous individuals and their various and conflicting conceptions of good and right. The presumption is that citizens are due certain non- preferential neutral treatment with the state not adopting nor enforcing any controversial values. Nevertheless, a justification and specification of this presumption is hard to find. I argue that even though this problem is genuine, its sollution is necessarily derivative. The answer to the question ¿when does the state need to be neutral, how and why¿ presupposes a theory of rights and liberties. Only once the issue of protected personal space, beliefs and actions is resolved will it be possible to identify those particular areas of life into which the state is morally bound not to interfere (or, in some other cases, is bound to interfere) because of neutrality considerations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Distance learning has become an acceptable mode of education and training but studying through distance learning has been eyed with suspicion over the years. The mode of learning of the distance learner has raised preconceived ideas from society in general that the distance learner is a non-performer in industry. There are more negative comments than positive ones as far as ODL is concerned. The university must take the responsibility of sensitising, educating and encouraging learners in developing a positive attitude towards distance education because the society has its own perceptions about distance learners. The distance learner has shown maturity and distance learning has afforded those who were not able to get university education when they were still young and were not lucky to have parent who could pay for them. Not everyone who completes secondary education is able to get a place at a conventional university some opt not by choice by circumstances. Most women will only first go into marriage before going to university and they will have to obtain degrees through distance learning.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

According to Judge Albie Sachs (Pistorius, 2004), ¿a true Afro-centered universe is not one cut off from Europe or the rest of the world, but one that enriches its own civilization with the best that the rest of the world has to offer¿.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -What implications does a strong language law have for international organizations operating within its domain This question has remained rather untouched in the academic sphere, even though language and its strategic role have widely been accepted as key elements in international operations. This study sets out to investigate the linguistic context of the province of Quebec (Canada), aiming to determine the effects of balancing between the need for a corporate language and the demands of the regulatory context. An existing framework on context is applied to the identified key elements present in Quebec to break down their nature and effects on organizations. The linguistic duality that organizations face becomes apparent: regardless of the increasing need for English as a corporate language, the law, created to protect the French language, has not been adapted to the changing global environment. Consequently, it becomes difficult for international organizations to apply a global language strategy in Quebec. The balancing act can become resource-consuming ¿ even to the extent of acting as an entry barrier or driving business elsewhere.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In the ongoing struggle to maintain and leverage competitive advantage, SMEs are in a constant state of change. A highly visible and researched change is concerning the process by which firms shift business activities across national borders. While the process theory of internationalization helps carve the path of a firm¿s international expansion, the point of departure of the theory is the boundary of the firm. Thus it fails to capture the depth of the internal turmoil SMEs experience. This boundary creates a virtual black box that encapsulates the entities and activities, the very essence of the firm. To date, the black box of the firm is an enigma that research finds difficult to penetrate. The concept of dynamic capability provides a framework for capturing what happens internally when firms experience change. Through use of this perspective, the purpose of this theoretical thesis is to elucidate the internal transitions SMEs endure as they go through the process of internationalization. In order to describe this process conceptual models have been constructed which can be applied throughout the value chain of any SME during any stage of international expansion.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Bangladesh is a developing country. Women possess a considerable portion of our total population. So development of our country largely depends upon women. If they lag behind, our country will obviously stumbles in becoming a developed one. But it is evident that women are in most vulnerable situation because of many problems of which sexual harassment is mentionable most. The impact of sexual harassment is huge in both individual and national life. Victimized students do not only get psychologically troubled, but also feel continuously insecure. They develop a sense of distrust and hatred towards men. In fact, within the patriarchal social fabric, sexual harassment is a weapon to weaken, hurt or force women to consign to domestic affairs. It restricts women's mobility in the public sphere, which contributes to their diminishing participation in outdoor activities. There is increasing realization that sexual harassment is a huge threat to women's empowerment. Altogether, though apparently invisible, the cost of sexual harassment in our national and individual life is huge. However, in Bangladesh, there is no strong law to prevent sexual harassment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.
