Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,7, The FOM University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg, language: English, abstract: This paper will examine the question of how M&A activities influence a company¿s stock price and earnings per share (EPS), especially if the bootstrap effect occurs In 2016, the global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities decreased by about 18 percent compared to 2015. Altogether, 17,369 deals with a value of 3.2 trillion (tn.) US-Dollars (USD) were performed. There are numerous reasons to invest and divest in inorganic growth. Organic growth has its limitations, thus acquiring competitors, growing vertically or horizontally as well as accessing new markets are strong motivators to do so. Growing a business is often linked with going public. The decision to be part of the stock market and to perform M&A influences an enterprise¿s value for various reasons.To approach these questions, the first chapter gives a general overview of reasons, motivators, risks and benefits of M&A. Thereafter, the influence of M&A on a company¿s shareholder value and EPS is examined. Then, the bootstrap effect is explained and subsequently illustrated by an exemplary M&A transaction. Afterwards the risks and benefits of bootstrapping and M&A are analysed to consider its usefulness and influence on the share price and EPS.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 32 pp. Englisch.

The study with the title 'Disaster Risk Reduction Management Practices of School Principals: Towards School Based Policy Guidelines' is especially designed to meet the requirements of the ever-changing needs of the schools in managing disaster.The prevailing situations our nation is facing nowadays is the compelling reason why this study came into existence. Children, most especially in elementary schools are the ones to benefit if practices in DRRM are presented firmly and effectively. As provided by RA 10121 or the Philippine DRRM act of 2010, the concern agencies must deliver or provide a proactive approach in addressing risk in disaster, wherein its main focus is to prepare locals from imminent risk during disaster. It also stipulated the need of integrating DRR to school curricula in all levels and areas.The results and recommendations of this study, though it is everybody¿s concern, is pointing to the school principals that they should carry the burden on addressing the need of properly practiced DRR management to create a safe learning environment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 92.00, The University of Memphis, course: Communication Research, language: English, abstract: Slang is a rather complex subject, similar to the complexity of Biology. I believe there are different levels to slang. I also believe that slang itself can be identified as a second language, depending on who speaks it and where it is spoken. All my life I have spoken slang. I grew up around people who also spoke slang rather frequently. I guess one could argue slang has been a part of my very fabric since I was able to speak and remember.Growing up I did not understand that I was speaking slang. I had never given any serious thought to the way I spoke or the people around me. I never had to. I did not realize I spoke differently or 'wrong' until I was measured up against someone else's speaking, primarily white people. When I was a child I could remember being corrected by my teachers, all of whom spoke slang, but they had the ability to code switch when it was necessary, an ability I had not yet possessed.It would often make me feel less confident when I was corrected by my teachers for speaking incorrectly, considering the fact that it was done so frequently. I could never understand why I had to adjust my speaking if my teachers understood me perfectly fine. I remember feeling a strong sense of discomfort when I spoke slang among people who did not speak slang.Trying to adjust was like learning another language and very troubling for me. It often made me question, 'What is slang ', 'Why can¿t I just speak the way I am comfortable ' and 'Why is slang so bad if I¿m perfectly understood ' All of these questions lead to my exploration of slang and compelled me to do extensive research on the subject matter. I want to understand, 'why is slang considered bad in certain settings if the communication is effective 'Slang has evolved tremendously over the years. There is not any objective defining of slang. Researchers have speculated how useful and useless slang is or has been over the years. It cannot be said that slang was ever meaningless it has been based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system. 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Project Report in the subject Pedagogy - The Teacher, Educational Leadership, , language: English, abstract: This work attempts to prove that the Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) can significantly address the least mastered skills and learning competencies from the K-12 curriculum guide. Different and multiple activities were created in order to improve and help the pupil understand difficult concepts about the subject. Assessments were made and subjected to parallel testing. The activities were finalized and administered in an Elementary School, with 23 Grade IV pupils as respondents. The mean, mastery and performance level on the actual lesson and the utilization of SIM were computed. Moreover, results were compared. The mastery and performance level before and after the use of the Strategic Intervention Material were interpreted. It showed that there was a significant difference on the mastery and performance levels of pupils. This suggests that the utilization of SIM helps the pupils to master the difficult and least mastered competencies.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - Other International Politics Topics, grade: 1,7, University of Bamberg, course: Internationale und europäische Politik: International Institutions and their Role in Global Governance, language: English, abstract: In modern societies, science and scientific knowledge are considered to have a deep impact on society even beyond technological progress or economic growth. Science in general and scientific knowledge in specific represent an all-embracing power. They not only fundamentally determine how we see the world. They also influence political decision-making by providing new insights and altering how we perceive what societal and political issues are or how to solve them. Morisse-Schilbach even states: 'It seems that the use of expert knowledge and especially scientific knowledge is increasingly integral to the way political and societal actors perceive and deal with political, economic, and social issues, both on the domestic and global scale.'This paper will analyze the influence of knowledge on the creation of international institutions. Led by the question 'How did Epistemic Communities facilitate the creation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ', the analysis starts with a brief introduction to epistemic communities. It will show how their work has an impact on political decision-making and how knowledge can cause demand for institutionalized cooperation. In particular, through the approach of weak cognitivism the following chapter provides theoretical background knowledge on how epistemic communities create institutions by providing knowledge and defining issues. Subsequent, the analysis continues with the development of 'climate' to our modern understanding. The meaning of climate changed fundamentally through scientific findings and emphasized climate change as a global issue. In order to answer the research question, the knowledge of climate and ozone layer will be examined on its effect on the creation and expansion of referring institutions. Theoretically, pushed by knowledge, the perception of climate change as a global issue received broad attention by policy-makers. Rising perception eventually elevated 'climate' to a global topic and caused need to act. Policymakers as well as referring epistemic communities cooperated globally and eventually created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Region: Near East, Near Orient, grade: 1,3, University of Hamburg (Fakultät für Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften), course: The Middle East in International Relations, language: English, abstract: The status of Jerusalem has always been a very sensitive, symbolic and central issue regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict.This leads to the central question of this essay: How can the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by the Trump administration be explained through either a structural realist or constructivist approach For Palestinians and Israelis, for Muslims, Christians and Jews around the world, Jerusalem is an anchor of modern identity. The Israelis claim it as the capital of their nation, the Palestinians want it to be the center of their hoped-for future state. The issue has gained a critical urgency and relevance recently, because on December 6, 2017 US-President Donald J. Trump announced the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. By reversing seven decades of US neutrality and appeasement policy in this matter, his decision caused a lot of frustration among the Arabic community and states around the world. The UN General Assembly called the status of Jerusalem as Israel¿s capital 'null and void' - a pretty extraordinary situation of disagreement between the UN and the United States (Res. ES-10/L.22 2017).This essay will establish a theoretical framework, by comparing the two schools of thought within the rational-constructivist debate. Subsequently, both theories will be applied on the present case of US foreign policy, after having ensured contextual understanding by going through essential historical aspects of US-Israeli relations and the effects of Trump¿s decision.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Scientific Study from the year 2015 in the subject Mathematics - Stochastics, , language: English, abstract: The work describes two new heuristic approaches to time series analysis and forecasting for business purposes. Both approaches avoid any assumptions according to assumed process attributes behind the data (stochastic process, stationarity, normal distribution of random noise). Those methods engineer data of any kind of business processes. Only unidentified (inherent) process structures are used for forecasting. Speed represents the drive of current business development. IT is about allowing automatic self-synchronizing (production) processes. Big Data potentially offers the identification of hidden structures. In many companies mobile information access is being used. Multi-Channel B2C, B2B and M2M are gaining the managerial pole position. But nevertheless the quality of data is the key for producing excellent results. It is important that planning is based on as realistic data as possible. After roughly more than 35 years Business Forecasting is back in the focus.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Philosophy - Theoretical (Realisation, Science, Logic, Language), grade: 1,7, University of Bristol (Philosophy), course: Philosophy of Language, language: English, abstract: When we ask ourselves what sentences are, we conclude that they are types of signs and sounds. So-to-say individual signs and sounds that are executed by people in different situations for a specific purpose, usually for communication.According to Grice, we express our opinion, a wish or intention with the goal of the desired reaction. Therefore, he believes that the meaning of the sentence is rooted in the mental and suggests that it needs to be explained in terms of the psychological states of the individual human being. This might be no less than the reduction of linguistic meaning to psychology. For that in terms of describing Grice¿s reductive project, the focus is on the explication of sentence meaning in psychological terms. According to him, it proceeds in two importantly different stages: In the first stage, Grice attempts to reduce sentence meaning to speaker-meaning. The second stage contains, his try to reduce speaker-meaning to a complex of psychological states, concentrating on a type of intention.In contrast to Grice, there are two kinds of well-known ¿use¿ theories: The Wittgensteinian view and Wilfrid Sellars¿ Inferentialism. According to these languages and linguistic expressions are neither bloodless abstract objects nor do they have lives on their own. Wittgenstein argued that ¿words and sentences are more like game pieces or tokens, used to make moves in rule-governed conventional social practices¿ and Sellars view centralizes the complexity of patterns of inference.Already with this short overview, it has become clear in which manifold theories try to explain theoretically how the meaning of languages comes about. Therefore, the following elaboration is divided into various sub-areas. First Grice¿s second stage theory, the speaker-meaning, will be explained in detail, before sentence-meaning, as the first stage theory, will be associated. Contrasts will be evinced, before use theories come into play, also by their distinction to Grice¿s theory. The last investigation will be if either Grice¿s theory or a use theory of meaning can be squared with truth-conditional semantics. After I have explained why I see a stronger connection between Grice¿s theory and the truth-conditional semantics, I will conclude the elaboration with a summary.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

In recent years, there are over 73 insurgent groups including Boko Haram and Ansaru operating in the region and unleashing unprecedented humanitarian and security challenges. The paper used secondary data to underpin the fact that despite multinational efforts to address the security and humanitarian challenges created by both insurgencies and climate change, the Sahel remains a problematic enclave for countries in the region including Nigeria.The paper highlights socio-economic, security and environmental implications of the growing insurgencies in the region for Nigeria. Some recommendations such as improving border security through technology, enhanced human security, deliberate countering of jihadist narrative and improved military capability of nations in the region were made. The paper submits that kinetic and non-kinetic approach must be applied to degrade and defeat insurgencies in the Sahel and Nigeria in particular.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

What can be done to control these Technology and online communication nowadays play a major role in many aspects of our daily lives. Especially, when it comes to social media companies, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Ask.fm or Kik. Many people, particularly young children, use various social media platforms to communicate with friends or their family, to get inspired, to grow personally, for international business purposes, to develop new relationships or for entertainment purposes.Along with the growth in usage of social media, however, there are increasing concerns over its benefits as well as safety. One of the pernicious concerns of social media is cyberbullying, as well as cyberstalking. Recent studies indicate that in 2009 and 2011 5 - 40 % of young users are victims of a cyberbullying incidents. The fact that many of these incidents end up with tragic suicide, constitutes cyberbullying as one of the most dangerous aspect of social media.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 24 pp. Englisch.

How did the changes over the years transform the industry and its consumers Over the past years, the tourism industry had depended heavily on marketing using the power of the word of mouth. It used to be our family and friends, who would assist in the planning of our traveling, with the assistance of travel agencies, magazines and tourism guides. With the emergence of digital technologies in the present world however, the word of mouth has been prolonged to a limited group of people who are widely spread all over the world. Social Media, a greater outcome of digital technology is now being used to connect travelers to the recommendations and opinions of people all over the world.The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), within the last two distinctly different decades, have greatly transformed the tourism sector in almost all parts of the world. Within its tactical level, ICT makes it possible for the e-Commerce to thrive and subsequently assist the tourism organizations to fully maximize their general efficiency as well as effectiveness while at the strategic level, ICT has helped in restricting the tourism and travel chain together with the relationships which are there between the individual tourism organizations and the relevant stakeholders to the sector.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 28 pp. Englisch.

This is a good opportunity to deal with the eventful history of Kosovo, a small area in the Western Balkan as big as Upper Austria. Until now, there is a controversy over the legal status of Kosovo under public international law. The political tensions between Kosovo and Serbia continue. For example, most recently on July 21, 2018 Serbia refused Kosovös Minister for Foreign Affairs, Behgjet Pacolli, entry. Since Kosovo is no State, Belgrade argues, Kosovo cannot have a Minister for Foreign Affairs. Dealing with Kosovo is fruitful in many ways, in my point of view, for it can help to understand the triggers for remedial secession, to explain the external and internal right of self-determination of minorities and to show how political participation and the right to secession are linked. The eventful history of Kosovo will be portrayed at the outset of my seminar paper by discussing and highlighting selected aspects (2. A Short History of Kosovo ¿ Selected Aspects). In a next step, the ICJ¿s Advisory Opinion of July 22, 2010 concerning Kosovo will be presented and critically appraised by discussing two noteworthy separate opinions (3. ICJ Advisory Opinion of July 22, 2010). Afterwards, the controversial instrument of remedial secession will be discussed by examining the normative question about its application in the Kosovo case (4. Right to secession ). At the end of my seminar paper a conclusion of the findings discussed will be provided.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 2.0, University of Passau, language: English, abstract: The aim of this Bachelor thesis is to provide a theoretical explanation of the recent world order with the English School theory, to present an ignored problem of rising numbers in arms trade deals and to present new ways of cooperation for states to solve the gun trade problem.The arms trade treaty of 2013 has been a first attempt towards a harder control on small arms trade, however today it can be stated that the attempt failed and it hasn¿t achieve any real effects on the volume of sales in both legal and illicit conventional weapons, military defense systems and their parts, accessories or ammunition. The five hypothesis the author make about the system of arbitrary trade prior to the analysis are the following:Firstly, Guns are being produced and traded not solely for purposes of the defense industry in a political sense of security dilemma, but also for purposes of war making. Conflicts and wars profit certain groups in the international world order. Secondly, global gun trade is regulated not solely by the states foreign policy, but also by gun manufacturing corporations that try to influence the emergence of new conflicts in destabilized parts of the world. Business actors are mainly interested to increase their profits. Thirdly, dominant states abuse arms trade over third world states as a tool of foreign policy, in order to have influence in domestic matters. New opportunities with digital technologies are not applied in the international society, due to the international society structure of sovereign states. This structure makes state cooperation in international order based on self binding norms with little or no consequences for the rule breaking country. Lastly, the restrictions in arms trade volumes or restrictions for states to acquire armaments would lead to less new conflicts in the long term.The challenge of this thesis is to combine three areas, that don¿t seem to match to each other, namely international relations, gun trade and new digital technologies to give a practical solution to one particular policy problem - unrestricted international gun trade. This paper will challenge orthodox ways of problem - solving approaches in international relations by focusing mostly on empirical evidence, rather than theory. It will combine international relations with the power of new digital technologies, including blockchain technology, to deal with international political and economic problems.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 36 pp. Englisch.

For this purpose, a literature study has been operated, which encompasses inter alia renowned authors like Alvesson, Gendron, Hopwood, Humphrey, Parker and Sandberg.The seminar thesis is set up as follows: It starts with a brief overview about the presence of performance thinking in academia and its emergence. Thereupon, the actual main part follows which deals with the examination of the consequences triggered by performativity. After limiting the thesis to the university¿s activity of research and more precisely to the performance indicator of journal rankings in particular, firstly positive consequences and subsequently negative consequences are examined. As a next step, change attempts and resistance against the performativity movement in general and against specific consequences out of it are introduced. In the final discussion chapter, the previous findings are illuminated from different angels and in this course also reflected and brought into wider context.

Afterwards the author considers three motivations that most directly influence a leader¿s behaviour, discussing the goals behind them, the resulting behaviour and its influence on the leadership style. The final part of this work starts with brief explanations of Emotional Intelligence in leadership and some of the more common models of the leadership process. From these, a model of Integrated Emotional Intelligence (IEI) in the leadership process is developed. Considering the elements of this model, the effects of Emotional Intelligence on leader behaviour and leader communication are explained.The cognisance of leaders on leadership is much influenced by their perception on their own leadership abilities and their motivations. These, however, may turn out to be quite complex and lacking the consideration of the followers¿ abilities and motivations. Emotional Intelligence in leadership is one concept to enhance leaders¿ cognisance in this respect.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

In the globalized world, interaction with people from different corners of the earth and with different cultural perceptions is increasingly becoming a very important element to analyze and live, especially if these areas are reached by people who are moved to take care of their businesses, of teams to which to devote the economic interest of the company itself.In this very varied contest, different cultures of different latitudes meet and must understand each other correctly in order to obtain the result of optimization of the requested performance, a real small revolution that concerns first of all the people and managers who are invested in this company. It is not for everyone to be within reach as the manager's mind must be open and evaluate together with his team the potential of this opportunity for expansion in a new market, therefore knowing the uses and customs of the people with whom he will have to deal and interact with the company effectively. Cultural intelligence and adaptations are very important practices for a manager who must involve the team to work locally in another distant reality.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

Profit and growth goals, economies of scale or foreign market opportunities are just a few fundamental reasons. The aim of the present paper is to develop a realistic market entry strategy for Völkl Ski and Snowboard, to expand to the emerging country Argentina.The goal within this development is to detect how the structure of the company and the conditions in the host country influence the decision for an optimum market entry strategy.The core question convoying the research and also underlining the aforementioned problem potential can be formulated as follows:Is it possible for Völkl to successfully sell high quality products in a yet small market in a country being situated in a drastic political and economic change Besides the company¿s interest in exploiting market possibilities there can also be problems or threats in the home market resulting in a pressure to expand.For the process of the above named research question the first chapter of the paper implicates an introduction to the company Völkl, also identifying its state of internationalization. Further on the country Argentina will be analyzed by reference to the PEST approach. Additionally, the second chapter includes the study of the ski industry in Argentina, also revealing the strongest competitors in the market.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: 8.7, , language: English, abstract: The fundamental advantage of biodiesel is that it can be depicted as 'carbon impartial'. This implies the fuel creates no net yield of carbon as carbon dioxide (CO2). This impact happens in light of the fact that when the oil crop develops it assimilates the same measure of CO2 as is discharged when the fuel is combusted.India is the largest producer of oilseeds in the world and the oilseed sector occupies an important position in the country¿s economy. The country accounts for 12-15 per cent of global oilseeds area, 6-7 per cent of vegetable oils production, and 9-10 per cent of the total edible oils consumption. The area and production under the nine oilseeds was 26.11 million ha and 24.88 Mt, respectively in 2009-10, whereas the total edible oil production in the country stood at 6.17 Mt in 2009-10. As per the fourth advance estimates for 2010-11, the production of total nine oilseed crops is 31.10 Mt, which is a quantum jump over previous year¿s production. Oilseeds area and output are concentrated in the central and southern parts of India, mainly in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. In India, edible oil consumption has been growing steadily over the years. From around 5 Mt in 1990-91, the aggregate consumption of edible oils has gone up to 14 Mt in 2009-10. Groundnut, rapeseed-mustard, soybean and palm oil account for around 60 per cent of the edible oils consumed in the country.In rural and urban India consumption of all edible oils per month increased from 0.37 kg and 0.56 kg respectively, in 1993-94 to 0.64 kg and 0.82 kg in 2009-10. This translates into an increase of 72 per cent and 46 per cent, respectively, among rural and urban households. The edible oils requirement of the country has been projected at 16.34 Mt in 2016-17 and 20.36 Mt in 2020-21, i.e. at the end of 12th Plan and 13th Plan, respectively.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Advertising, as an integral attribute of any entrepreneurial activity, also varies according to the development of society. The effectiveness of an advertising campaign depends on the linguistic design of the ad text. Advertising as a means of influencing a person's choice is aimed at creating relationships between a company and a potential buyer in order to induce the latter to acquire the advertised product. The interest of scholars in advertising text as one of the types of texts of mass influence, aimed at achieving communicative-pragmatic and expressive-suggestive goals and based on the use of expressive capabilities of language resources of all levels, is at the center of scientific studies. The problem of evaluation was of interest to philosophers of different times, from ancient Greek thinkers (Anaxagoras, Socrates, Democritus). Today, evaluative values are actively studied in linguistics. The category of evaluation is considered at all levels of the language, linking it with modality, emotionality and expressiveness. The urgency of this work is stipulated by the fact that insufficiently highlighted the following aspects of the problem under study as means of creation and expression of evaluation in English-language advertising and the specifics of their operation in different types of advertising text.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 40 pp. Englisch.

Human beings naturally try to answer the identity question and it is one of the essential processes of growing up. But if we imagine ourselves living in a world in which one¿s whole life is predestined and it is impossible to escape from this destiny, it seems impossible to answer such a question.The dystopian novel ¿Never Let Me Gö by Kazuo Ishiguro is set at a boarding school in England at the end of the twentieth century. The protagonists in the novel, who are growing up at the boarding school Hailsham, face the above-described problem. They are brought up healthy and kept away from every danger possible, to live the life they are supposed to live. They finish school, move in groups to farms where they have to work, they become carers temporarily, until they end up becoming donors of their vital organs. Around the time they have done their third or fourth donation, their short life will be completed. This leads to a struggle of finding identity and to the question, what identity really is.In this term paper, the question of how the characters deal with the predestination of their lives will be answered. It will be discussed, in which ways they try to build up an identity, even though they face some problems. The central thesis, therefore, is that the social groups the protagonists live in and identify themselves with, make an important contribution to the formation of their identity and the process of finding belonging.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Psychology - Cognition, grade: 1,3, University of Wuppertal, language: English, abstract: In order to retrieve information more efficiently and quickly, our central nervous system makes use of implicit preactivation of associative neural networks. In this study, 78 participants were instructed to identify a sequence of word pairs consisting of either German words, nonwords or pseudowords within a lexical decision task. The procedure was carried out under three different conditions: a) no associations within a word pair, b) connection through general second-level cooccurrences, and c) connection through lemmatized second-level cooccurrences. The analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences in reaction time and error rate between lemmatized second-level cooccurrence compared to general second-level cooccurrences. Both, error rate and reaction time, were lower for lemmatized second-level cooccurrences. Stimuli consisting of words with second-level association had a positive effect on the reaction time and error rate. This could be proven due to a stimulus onset asynchrony of 50ms, avoiding semantical competition that could cause inhibitory effects on the reaction time. Linear regression also revealed that lemmatized second-level cooccurrences had a greater influence on the reaction time up to the target and the error rate compared to general second-level cooccurrences. This information could be used to improve models that explain the process of word recognition by adding the influence of the lemmatized second-level cooccurrence.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Göttingen (Philosophische Fakultät), course: The American Rhetorical Tradition, language: English, abstract: While this extensive film encompasses a variety of themes and topics, the focus of this paper will be its proposition of progress. It will be argued that Angels in America confirms progress to be inevitable and essential by drawing on, and redefining, American concepts and myths of westward movement and migration, equality and pluralism. Thus, traditional elements of the construct ¿American Dream¿ will be analyzed.The first part will consist of a short overview of different approaches to progress employed in the film: historical, religious and political. Subsequently, the second and third part will focus on a set of selected scenes and investigate how progress, and the lack thereof, is communicated in the depiction of different characters as they are caught in a constant struggle between motion and staying put, between moving on and giving up, between living and death. From this, the redefinition of aforementioned American concepts will be derived.In 2003, playwright Tony Kushner adopted his two-part play premiered in 1991 and 1992, Angels in America, to the screen. The HBO miniseries was directed by Mike Nichols and studded with celebrated actors such as Al Pacino, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson. Set in New York City in the mid 1980s, a time of Reagan¿s politics and the silencing of AIDS, the series revolves around a set of characters differing greatly in ethnicity, religion, worldview and sexual orientation.They include Louis and Prior, a homosexual couple having to cope with Prior¿s AIDS diagnosis, and Harper and Joe, Mormons, who are faced with Joe¿s oppressed homosexuality destroying their marriage. Other characters are Hannah, Joe¿s mother from Salt Lake City, Roy Cohn, a lawyer also diagnosed with AIDS, and Belize, Prior¿s black homosexual friend who is also Roy¿s nurse. Throughout the film, these characters come together in unexpected ways in an attempt to move out of their crises and transform themselves.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Theology - Systematic Theology, grade: 4.0, , course: Report to the Board of Trustees, language: English, abstract: A monograph by Dr. Michael A. Milton on the Biblical- theological support for partnerships to fulfill the mission of God in the world. The author notes the New Testament Greek word used by Saint Pail to describe coalitions for good is a derivative of the Greek root 'koinonia,' i.e., 'fellowship.' The author urges that partnerships are anthropomorphic extensions of the eternal triune Godhead. The author contends for three categories of partnerships: denominational partnerships, evangelical partnerships, and common grace partnerships. Each type of coalition is described. The third of the classes, 'common grace,' is compared to the late Francis Schaeffer¿s 'Co-belligerents.' The monograph closes with the principle operating commitment of the prospective parties of a partnership: 'cooperation without compromise.' The author cited a historical example of common grace partnerships in the ministry of the Right Reverend Dr. Benjamin Morgan Palmer (1818-1902), pastor of First Presbyterian Church of New Orleans. The monograph includes a bibliography on the subject.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 1,7, Pforzheim University, language: English, abstract: In this paper, the scientific background of the greenhouse effect, which is decisive for climate change, is presented. Furthermore, tourism and its importance as an economic factor is reported. As an exemplary study of the interaction between climate change and tourism, those will be explained using two areas that are particularly sensitive: the Maldives archipelago and the Alpine region. For each of these two examples, the initial situation, the problem, is explained and subsequently possible solutions or solution approaches are presented and critically questioned. Due to the business context, little attention is paid to political or ethical issues. In 2019 there was almost no other global issue as present and polarising as climate change. Starting with many movements, such as 'Fridays for Future', the public was increasingly made aware of the topic. The topic has also become increasingly relevant politically. As early with the 2015 UN Climate Conference, important points were set to reduce global warming. Many areas and economic sectors are already affected by climate change and many will con-tinue to feel the effects of climate change in the future.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 36 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - Other International Politics Topics, grade: 1,7, University of Passau, language: English, abstract: Nowadays government administration has become outdated. The paper based administration has become too slow for nowadays speed of services and shows an immense need for innovation. Since the introduction of the internet and information technology, society shifted the way we engage with each other. Where the private sector managed to restructure business, governments haven¿t managed to shift towards a more effective use of resources and time. One of the first countries to introduce a different mindset on how a government should operate was Estonia. This approach of a shift treating a citizen as a consumer and on the other hand seeing government as a producer, rather than just executor had an immense impact on the country. This approach on being a service oriented government had proven itself as reliable and made Estonia to a leading technology hub worldwide.This concept, of restructuring a state by having an effective government is transferable to the fairly new Western Balkan states. The goal of this essay is to measure the possible impact of E-Governmant for economic growth, prosperity and development for the relatively poor Balkan states.This essay is conducted as following:1) Introduction to the importance of the topic;2) Theoretical basis of e-Government and successful implementations;3) The story of E-Estonia;4) Analysis of implementation in the Balkans;5) Closing remarksBoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 36 pp. Englisch.
