Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In an uncertain environment surrounded by a lot of information, the evaluation of systemic events and the measurement of the severity of a network is a sensitive topic and must be approached with great care. The study and understanding of systemic events that can spread to banking networks contributes significantly to reducing the effect of financial contagion, topic addressed in this book. The context of the COVID19 pandemic represents a new challenge for the whole world and can represent an event that could lead to the phenomenon of financial contagion and not only. The event caused huge losses, both human and material and financial. The economies of many countries have been troubled, with the pandemic of this virus being an extremely strong shock in the global economic network. Banks are the binder of the national economy, from my point of view, and maintaining financial stability at this time is very important. Credit risk assessment is a very important topic, from my point of view, which is why this topic has been addressed. The analysis of contagion effects remains an important and topical issue for the financial-banking system and must be studied very carefully.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Data security has consistently been a major issue in information technology. In cloud computing environments, this is very critical because data is located in different places around the world. Data security and privacy protection are the two main areas of consumer concerns about cloud security. Although many technologies in the field of cloud computing have been researched by academics and industry, data security and privacy protection are critical to the future development of cloud computing technology in government, industry, and business. Data security and privacy protection issues are related to both hardware and software in the cloud architecture. This study aims to review various security technologies and challenges from software and hardware aspects to protect data in the cloud and to improve data security and privacy protection for trusted cloud environments. In this paper, we will conduct a comparative research analysis of existing research on data security and privacy protection methods used in cloud computing.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The text examines how Wole Soyinka uses art in his first novel 'The Interpreters' to reflect the post-colonial issues that affect individuals in the newly independent state of Nigeria. 'The Interpreters' is examined here as an evaluation of the postcolonial state in Nigeria and as one of the so called novel of post-independent disillusionment. Therefore through artistry, Soyinka tries to unearth and discover the causes of Nigeria's moral death 'Death at Dawn' in the postcolonial state. He insinuates that freedom, in its real sense, must be free from corruption and other social injustices and that corruption in Nigeria must be brought to an end.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The author, having extensive experience in managing corporations in the USSR, was looking for the reasons for the low efficiency of their work. As a pupil of the CPSU, he believed that the possible reason could be in deviation of the practice of socialism from the provisions of Marxism. Comparison with the works of K. Marx did not confirm it. On the contrary, it made clear that the entire ideological structure of Marxism was based on the erroneous statement that workers are the only creators of the surplus value and wealth of society. Doubts about the correctness of the theory of socialism confirmed the negative results of 'perestroika' conducted by M. Gorbachev. As a result of the revision of this statement was developed the Concept of Hidden Surplus Value. According to it, the main driver of social progress is the intellectual labor of the new technology developers. The significant difference between the effect of its implementation and the remuneration of the creators forms the potential ability of the equipment to provide additional value when it is properly serviced by workers. The book outlines how to use the Concept to give the greatest benefit to society.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In the past few decades, algebra had witnessed subtle developments. In this book the authors have embarked upon exploring two important notions- the dimension theory and homology theory. With the advent of notion of dimension of a ring (the Krull dimension), algebraists could unify certain topological and algebraic notion albeit under restrictions. Thus while on one side the algebraic theories were shaping up venturing into the territories of topology, on the other side of it, researchers delved into the regime of homology to gain insight about geometry. What panned out was the rich theory of projective, injective and flat modules.In the present book, we attempt to provide an account of the theories laid down in the above paragraphs based on our own endeavour.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book deals - in a preface and 5 chapters, with both the language of modern poetry and the language of modern prose of Hebrew literature, from two main aspects, stylistics and style on the one hand, and literary discourse on the other. The analysis of literary texts rests on the assumption that the language of fiction possesses unique characteristics of its own, which are absent in other texts. Literature may be considered a distinct text type, ¿emotive¿, within the ¿referential¿/¿emotive¿ divide. Referential texts provide accurate physical and/or mental information about the world. Hebrew writers and poets such as Avraham Shlonsky, Ayin Hillel, David Avidan, and others often deviate in their writings from the grammar and the lexicon of Modern Hebrew. The ability to choose (with almost absolute freedom) among alternative normative and non-normative utterances is thus the main characteristic of the language of fictional literature.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In modeling the reality, we rely on the knowledge we have, no matter whether it is real or imaginary, naïve or sophisticated; our mental models are mostly made up of fragmentary information based on a partial understanding of what is happening and a naïve psychology postulating causes, mechanisms and relationships where, in fact, there is none of them. The mental model is made up in order to understand an aspect of the outside world. In the process of mental modeling, the individual necessarily should use the previously gained knowledge and depends on the rate he sets an appropriate relationship between the previous knowledge and the new information delivered by the outside reality. When the individual works out a certain mental schedule, he may find out that this is inadequate to his aims. Now it is the moment when a new mental model start to be worked out in order to understand what is happening outside. Thus, the schedule role is to deliver the individual pre-requested knowledge aiming to understand the interaction process as well as the knowledge allowing him to understand the indications delivered from outside, at the same time, in which way his schedule differs.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.
