Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The reality of competing under globalization has dramatically increased the importance of brand loyalty in the past decades. It is widely acknowledged that loyalty becomes most powerful when it is comprised of both behavioural and attitudinal components. The blend of repeat purchase behaviour and emotional attachment to the company and its brands helps generate loyalty that is robust and enduring. Majority of the studies on brand loyalty have been conducted in developed countries either from the organizational perspective or from the individual perspective. This book aims to shed a light on the brand loyalty, definition, importance, measurements and types. In addition, this book will present also the theories that are applied in brand loyalty such as the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) along with the Porter¿s Five Forces Theory and the Service Quality Model are elaborated. Existing frameworks that have investigated brand loyalty and its antecedents are analyzed and discussed.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The purpose of writing this book is to express the true meaning of life and to patiently await the arrival of someone who is consistently expected to meet someday, with the hope that this hope will eventually transform into assurance. When inciting men's desire to discover the meaning of existence, Samuel Beckett draws on the universal issue of the human condition, as well as man's sadness at being helpless to find meaning in the present, to elicit their responses. For the most part, men try to find the meaning of life in their own personal pattern, which is usually centred on their daily routine. If a guy is unable to discover his own way while also fantasising about the meaningful life that he has been anticipating, he is said to be unable to find his own way.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Autism is an increasingly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder (Matson & Kozlowski, 2011) that manifests as impaired ability to socially interact and communicate, with apparent stereotypic behavior and limited interests (American psychiatric association, 2000). Currently, the majority of the standardised tools are developed in English speaking countries; therefore, the aim of the current study was to translate the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale-2 from English into Arabic using the classical translation procedures described in the literature. The GARS-2 was translated into Arabic, back-translated into English, and then revised with the necessary corrections made. A sample of 27 children (11 formed the autism group and 16 the typically developed group) of bilingual parents (speaking Arabic and English) participated in this study. The comparison was made against the original GARS-2 and each participant was interviewed twice, with an interval of a week or more between the two interviews. The psychometric properties of the translated instrument were tested. Measurement of alpha coefficient confirmed the Arabic GARS' internal consistencyVDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book is one of the most crucial and scholarly attempts to provide insight into the extraordinary works of the bohemian writer Samuel Beckett. The book's key objective is to provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the play. Waiting begins with an introduction to the fascinating world of inferred and perplexing meanings. The book begins with numerous subtexts and allows readers to explore the language. The author has notable success in clamping down on the play's ludicrous conversations in 'Principles.' The phenomenon of absurdity in Samuel Beckett's writings has always attracted readers. The play's puzzling and incomprehensible nature limits the reader's capacity to enter the realm of the play's hidden meanings. This book does research that necessitates the interpretation of what characters mean and how the situation effects what they say. Conversational principles have been primarily examined in the book since they are violated by particular concrete intentions that are founded in the socio-cultural framework of the speech situation.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In 1982 the United Nations adopted the International Plan of Action that guided the course of thinking and action on ageing. This plan was reviewed in 2002 to accommodate and reflect the needs of the elderly in the 21st century. However, old age poverty in developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa continues to be a development problematic that is rarely discussed. Social security is to some little extent discussed, but non-contributory pensions are rarely debated because education, health, and agriculture, are considered the region¿s more critical policy priorities, and lack of demographic pressure in general. Tanzania, one of the world¿s poorest countries with older people representing the majority of the poor, has employment-based pension plans for social security provision. Despite UN and World Bank-prescribed millennium development goals (MDGs) and poverty reduction programs for Sub-Saharan Africa, The author's research indicates that Tanzania has no functional ageing policy for older people¿s social protection. Over half of Tanzaniäs national budget is donor-funded, denying the state resource allocation ownership, therefore perpetuating old age poverty.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Over the past two decades, medical imaging and diagnostic techniques have gained immense attraction due to the rapid development in computing, internet, data storage and wireless technology. The reflection of these advancements has become evident in the field of medicine and medical sciences which enables the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases in a more fruitful manner. Furthermore, medical imaging is frequently justified in the follow up of a disease which is already diagnosed and treated. Medical images like any other form of imaging techniques are susceptible to noise and artifacts. The major challenge in the process of medical imaging is to obtain an image without loss of any significant information. It is highly probable that the images obtained may be corrupted by noise or artifacts during the process of acquisition and/or further processing stages. Noise can be described as the random change of the original pixel value. Noise reduces the image quality and is especially significant when the objects being imaged are small and have relatively low contrast. Hence, de-noising of medical images is indispensable and has become a mandatory pre-processing stage.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Analytics in translation from Greek means 'art of analysis' and as history shows, the most correct analytical position is to develop a holistic worldview, guided by historical traditions, and treat it in such a way that this worldview is always open to further development, to the perception of all reasonable that is available in other worldview orientations. It is necessary to fearlessly meet criticism, listen to it and, of course, take into account the realities of life. It is important to keep in mind, and the experience of mankind eloquently testifies to it, that none of the worldviews of those that were developed in the history of human culture in great numbers remained unchanged. Under the pressure of the real situation they were changing and improving. The deepest worldview positions have survived that they were able to absorb all the valuable things that the world history has given them. The worldview is always associated with conviction. Every person's worldview is the result of long, complex and often torturous intellectual work.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 120 pp. Englisch.
