Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The scientific paper is devoted to the study of vicious phenomena of a social kind. The actions of elements of any system that destroy it and set the lethal threshold of the elements themselves are understood as vicious. This is a synonym of feedback, which can be seen in reality but is ignored in practice, between the habitat and the object that exists in it. During the conduct of this research, four types of elementary social vices have been found, which can be figuratively referred to as infantilism, snobbery, corruption and stagnation. Social vicious processes of a complex nature are seen as combinations and temporal variations of these vicious incarnations, which can be discovered in the history of the descent of mankind. Famous social processes of exploitation of a person by a person and tehnocratization of human activity are presented and analyzed as examples. The viciousness of such processes is deduced from the presence of elementary social vices in them. This paper may be of interest to professional sociologists as well as wide audience whose lifestyle and activities are performed in the modern social environment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Carbon emissions from products contribute to anthropogenic climate change. Because of the growing concern over the environmental impact of production and consumption of consumer goods, carbon footprint information started to appear on labels of several products. In this paper we use both parametric and non-parametric econometric models in order to estimate Egyptian consumers¿ willingness to pay (WTP) for carbon-labeled products. Contingent valuation methods based on log-logistic, log-normal and Weibull regression models revealed that consumers in Egypt are willing to pay a price premium of approximately 75 Egyptian pounds (EP) for carbon-labeled products based on the single-bound dichotomous choice (SBDC) model and up to 90 EP based on the double-bound dichotomous choice (DBDC) model. From a socio-economic perspective, results have also revealed that income, age, gender, and educational level have a significant influence on the respondent¿s WTP. Implications of this study highlight the fact that understanding consumers¿ preferences for eco-friendly products may play an important role in formulating environmental policy changes to face complex problems.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Slovakian consumers continue to exhibit caution when it comes to spending decisions, a result of the ongoing economic situation in the country. For most shoppers, price is the determining factor when considering the purchase of products and services, although most seem to manage to find ways to indulge themselves, at least occasionally. The retail landscape continues to be affected by the growing number of consumers turning to online shopping. For the past few years, we monitor negative economic phenomenon, namely growth in consumer¿s food prices in the world and also in Slovakia. When comparing prices in 1997 and 2013, we find that food prices have, on average, increased by more than 46%. Many analysts predict that the price increase will continue in the next period, fortunately at a slower pace than up to now. The monograph therefore focuses on forecasting future development in consumer¿s food prices. Given that the present development of prices was very unstable and fluctuated seasonally, so Box - Jenkins models that can quickly adapt to change and bring quality predictions in any situation are most suitable to use for the analysis and modeling of such time series.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Corporations create images and avatars which work to bolster an idea in the public consciousness that they have personal identities which are knowable, likeable, even folksy. We all know and understand the meaning or character of 'Mickey Mouse', 'Colonel Sanders', or 'Ronald McDonald'. These images are as familiar to us as any image can be. Yet most of us could not say how this happened, or when. Henrietta Ashworth places this odd sleight of hand alongside a history of the corporation and American identity while also examining how images such as these are used, both subversively and otherwise, in visual culture, and the extent to which it is possible to oppose or subvert the corporate agenda by means of film, either narrative or documentary. In so doing, 'Looking Outside The Castle' examines the ways in which visual culture is informed, interpellated and unavoidably influenced by the narratives that large corporations write for themselves, and asks 'can we ever step outside the magic castle and see it as it really is Or must our view be forever obscured by its walls 'Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Through months of research and field work with Moroccan women, these women helped me understand the very real structures of taboo and 7ashuma that exist in Morocco. The 7ashuma culture manifests in such ways as to shape how health is both practiced and accessed for these women. Without the generosity and patience of all of the people that helped me and allowed me into their homes, this showed how women create sub-spheres amongst themselves within their society. In my own observations and experience, Moroccan women were willing to make accommodations so that I could learn and share these insights. Through claiming their own complex identities, they shaped the conversation and shifted a simple idea into a question and transformed it into a journey of exploring shame culture in a most fascinating way.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book differentiates financially conservative firms from non-conservative firms and investigates how financially conservative and capital structure policies affect their firm values. A firm is said to be financially conservative if it has high cash holdings as a protection against future financial constraints. Using two samples of UK and Italian firms from 1995 to 2013, I have provided evidence that financially conservative firms, even though are cash rich and / or have low levels of debt, do not have the highest firm values due to the effects of tax shield associated with interest on debt. A detailed comparison has been made between active UK and Italian firms to illustrate this.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The widely used protocol based Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is today particularly limiting due to the client-server centralized and static paradigm. The approach is centralized as it relies on a limited set of capabilities at network nodes while management processing has to be performed at the network management station.In this paradigm, the system does not auto respond to changes and modifications in the network as hard coding is required to make the necessary changes making the system inflexible. In this book software agents are shown to collect and propagate statistics from different Points of Presence to the Network Operations Center; Update changes in the Network; process and present results. With the agent paradigm, the approach is able to increase system¿s responsiveness;increase system flexibility; take advantage of distributed computing resources, and to introduce interoperability, modularity and dynamism. This book describes the system architecture and implementation of the responsive model. The analysis is useful for IT professionals involved in monitoring and managing small and large networks who want to automate monitoring capabilities in their systems.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This study uses two groups of Japanese learners of English to examine whether Universal Grammar (UG) is available in second language acquisition (SLA): one group in Japan (the Japan group) and one in the United States (the US group) at the time of the study. They were tested on the Subjacency Condition in English. The performance of the US group did not significantly differ from that of a control group of native speakers of English while that of the Japan group was significantly different from the performance of the other groups. These results suggest that UG does play a role in SLA, and that the poorer performance of the Japan group is due to the need for a process of parameter resetting. Moreover, proficiency was found to be the strongest influential factor for UG activation in SLA. Given these findings, the researcher suggests classroom instruction that promotes UG activation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -It is important to realize that the world is being seen from one aspect only; that is the aspect of the Giant economies such as the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA). In fact there is a whole different world that we are blinded to see with or without purpose. There are tons of articles about globalization written by academicians and others that allude to positive scenarios of globalization on societies particularly in developing countries. The fact is that there is a whole new dimension to globalization that only serves the needs of developed countries. This research elaborates on the hidden dimension of globalization that focuses on dominating the world economic resources to maintain healthy living standards regardless of the humanitarian factor. A subsection in this research was devoted to President Clinton¿s globalization efforts. I can conclude based on experience that this democracy has a heavy human cost. This cost is the poor nations that possess a great potential to have a comfortable life style; however, it is purposely kept poor because of human greed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.
