Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Nanotechnology is the manipulation of material at the molecular level to make innovative materials with exceptionally diverse and exceptional properties. Nanotechnology is primarily employed in forensic science to improve and develop reactive ('smart') materials, microchip technology, nanoimaging tools for visualisation and nanomanipulators i. e. microfluidic systems for post-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) quantification, DNA extraction media, and latent fingerprint visualization using nanopowder. Nanotechnology could be effective in addressing current forensic investigation issues such as evidence collecting and analysis from crime scenes. Advances in nanotechnology will reduce the size of bulky devices and shorten analysis techniques. This could lead to better scientific evidence analysis adequate for legal procedures.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Analysis of Albaniäs European integration process encourages a new discussion in the mediatization theory. The impact on the social sphere is the result of mixed forces, which show patterns of mediatization depending on the way they interact. Four distinctive patterns of mediatization, related to European integration, are evidenced in the monitored media: 1. Political mediatization; 2. Performative mediatization; 3. Journal PR-ism; 4. Cyclic mediatization. When it comes to the mediatization of the EU integration process, the essence is not the politician, but the topic. If there is no topic, there is no active politician. This topic encourages media coverage, which comes as a necessity after the publication of the progress report, which is a public evaluation. The characterization of such a process as bureaucratic and administrative is a clear indication of the level of the bureaucratization of the media, which culminates with press conferences, official statements and meetings. This mediatization image helps the journalists and media come across as messengers of the statements, while, in the meantime, it reflects their PR-ism tendency.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -According to statistical data, with the development of oil, chemical, gas industries cases of poisoning caused by toxic substances employed in these branches have become more frequent recently. A special place among them is occupied by carbon monoxide, poisoning with which has been growing steadily. The application of information technology in this field of medicine is explained by the complexity, uncertainty and multi-parameter nature of the problem. The fact that the majority of symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are found in other poisonings also contradicts the differential diagnosis. At the same time, considering such consequences of poisoning with carbon monoxide as myocardial infarction, gait and motor disturbance, peripheral neuropathy, dementia, Parkinsonism u.a. it is expedient to perform monitoring of a patient after staying in a stationary treatment which determines optimum time of its performance, kind and the number of analyses required for developing an intelligent system. This book proposes an elaboration of an intelligent information system for differential diagnosis and monitoring in cases of poisonings with carbon monoxide.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The main purpose of this book is to provide basic explanations about Dynamic Programming (DP) to facilitate readers and learners to overcome their difficulties and complexities in solving such a basic DP problem in Management Science. Accordingly, this book has been designed to explore the bases and basics of DP with the processes and steps required for finding the optimisation of the problem. In this book in general terms, two types of models for optimisation (of maximum or minimum) have been dealt with: (a) Route Determination Model (RDM) and (b) Varying Input-Out Model (VIOM). Identically, various methods are available in related management science books for solving a Route-based Model. However, most of the learners, especially students, had faced some complexity and irregularities in systemised approach to solving a VIOM. In this context, this book has devised a systemised methodology to make the learners get understood the ways of solving a basic dynamic model and they are very rarely available in related books.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 128 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book explains various ways antelope population uses the woodland savanna ecosystem. Wildlife population reduction in the tropics has been caused by poverty, corruption, habitat loss, and poaching. However, bush-meat is a delicacy in many countries found in the developing world. Unfortunately, wildlife farming is still a very remote idea in many communities, hence, whenever bush-meat is needed for consumption the people would turn to the wild forest for poaching. Nonetheless, the Savanna ecosystem is not rich in vegetation, rainfall, moisture, and nutrients compared to the rainforest yet it homes a hug population of wildlife especially the antelopes. The book further examines how antelopes make use of different ecological factors such as vegetation, landscape, weather, for the welfare of their social activities and population distribution. The behavioral flexibility of most antelope species to arid climatic conditions of the woodland savanna ecosystem undoubtedly has favored their hug population distribution in many countries in the tropics.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The increased use of IT coupled with the growing access to electronic educational resources over internet is making educators to rethink and readjust to the changing environment of teaching, learning and research. In the near future, most of the higher educational institutions will increasingly use web to improve administrative processes, on-campus instruction and distance learning. It will become a preferred medium to reach off-campus students. It is expected that in future distributed, student-oriented learning with an increasing use of Internet-based courseware discussion groups and links to other online educational resources would occur in continuing education, job-related training etc. Internet based virtual universities would provide cost effective education. Inspite of all this being true; teachers and trainers have little knowledge about how to use computers for e-governance, on-line instruction and distance learning. Also they have no practice in handling multimedia elements. Given its comparative newness they have relatively less knowledge about multimedia and other e-learning resources. In cognizance of this shortcoming, an effort is initiated in this direction.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Intimate partner violence is a common practice in Kenya, making marriage a life-threatening union. It is generally culturally accepted and in some communities, men are praised for beating their wives while some women believe it's an expression of love. It has significant public health and socioeconomic impacts. Using the Demographic and Health Survey Data 2003, 2008/09 and 2014, this study used both linear probability and logit models to establish the determinants of various types of spousal violence. We found that contrary to the belief that economic empowerment shields women from partner violence, this study found that 48 per cent of Kenyan women who earn more than their husbands accept spousal violence and 41 per cent have experienced physical partner violence while 76 per cent have experienced either physical, emotional or sexual violence from a spouse or an intimate partner. We also found that the absolute level of women¿s education does not protect Kenyan women from partner violence, but increases their vulnerability. Differential education showed a different picture with women who were more educated than their partners reporting experiencing less violence.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Homelessness is often used to describe and classify those people within society living in a street or a shelter without a home. Moreover, it is one of the socio-economic challenges that has proven to be prevalent and dominant worldwide. Surprisingly, dominant as it is, it receives minimal attention not only from policymakers and politicians but also from academics as well as other institutions such as civil society organizations and Higher Education today. Furthermore, this has led to the normalization of the issue of homelessness instead of being treated as an important social ill that exacerbates and worsens poverty. As a result, this has far-reaching consequences, leading to the disintegration and overlooking issues of homelessness in development debate and agenda. Hence, this myopic attitude has resulted in homelessness being perceived as an individual choice without a critical assessment of the causes of homelessness. Therefore, it is against this negative background that this essay is written, to advocate for the integration of homelessness into the global agenda and development programmes as a crucial tool to break down the stigma attached to homelessness.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.
