Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Company formation, Business Plans, grade: 1,0, University of Würzburg (Betriebswirtschaft), course: Academic Entrepreneurship, language: English, abstract: There has been a conspicuous increase in patenting and licensing, which is an indicator for an aggrandisement of academic entrepreneurship at American research universities since the 1970s. The number of patents which can be issued to universities and colleges increased by more than 100 percent between 1979 and 1984, as well as between 1984 and 1989. It almost doubled once more during the 1990s. In 1980 only about 20 research universities had technology licensing and transfer offices. 10 years later that number was 200, and in 2000 just about every major research university had founded its own (Colyvas et al., 2002, P. 1). University license revenues have increased from $220 million to $698 million from 1991 to 1997 (Association of University Technology Managers, 1998).Private sector activity is always associated with the risk of failure because of the responsibility which is connected with it. This leads us to the discussion why academics should escape from a ¿safe world¿ of their publicly financed institution to either become entrepreneurs or to work in private companies. What are the major reasons for the risk of entrepreneurial and private sector activity The following paper tries to find an answer on this question by blending theoretical backgrounds and empirical elements.The second chapter serves as an introduction to the subject where the issue of the paper is narrowed further down and the key questions of it are defined. The main characteristics and concepts will also be distinguished in the second chapter, as much as it will be presented which aspects are not discussed in the paper. The third chapter of this paper concentrates on how internal and external factors influence the decision of scientists to show entrepreneurial behaviour. There are different theories and surveys which try to find an answer to the question how important different elements are. The fourth chapter works out the details in differences of the factors leading either to academic spinoffs or private firm participations. The conclusion gives the final answer on how the theory and the empiricism correspond with each other and which reasons are responsible for academics to break out from the ivory tower of science.…

Zur Typologie der Geschlechterrollen im 19. Jahrhundert. Ein alltagskulturhistorischer Überblick: Geschlechtsrollenstereotypen sind nicht pauschal als gültig anzusehen. Sie vermitteln dem Betrachter zwar ein Abbild der gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen und Strömungen, doch im Grunde sollen sie lediglich widerspiegeln, was die Ideale einer Zeit waren - wie also Mann und Frau zu sein hatten. Ob und wie die Geschlechter in diese Rollen schlüpften und worin diese bestanden, ist im nachfolgenden Überblick zu sehen.…

It is in human nature to ponder such matters, and therefore, it is no wonder that similar questions appeared in Christianity as early as the writing of the Scripture. Christianity began with an announcement that time and history were about to end.1 The interpretations of the Bible depended on their writers' attitude.Consequently, certain passages from the Bible were interpreted literally or allegorically, but common ground was established in understanding the Book of Daniel and the Revelation of John, which were seen as good examples of eschatological writings. The second coming of Christ was the most important eschatological event. Some authors saw this second arrival as a literal, pre-millennial event, in which Christ would reign on Earth a thousand years before the second coming. Others saw it allegorically, as a postmillennial event. 16 pp. Englisch.…

Bush described the terrorist attacks of September, 11 as 'an act of war' and promptly proclaimed the 'war on terror' with 'a radical network of terrorists and every government that supports them' being the enemy. (Bush, 2001). In the subsequent years the United States have started wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that are today, eight respectively, roughly seven years later, not yet decisively won. The terrorists capacity to execute devastating attacks has apparently not sustainably diminished given the numerous devastating attacks on US allies. At least the Bali (2002) and London (2005) bombings were directly attributed to Al Qaeda by President Obama (2009). The militarization of the US response to 9/11 has in several aspects proven not only to be inappropriate but even counterproductive in the struggle against international terrorism. 20 pp. Englisch. …

In a first step there will be given a general definition on the term both genitive and determiner, with regards to the comparison of genitive case and determiner given in the topic of this paper. In this place, even clitic and affix definition is not left blank. Furthermore it is mentioned that during English language change from the Old English language to the Modern English language a change has taken place concerning the treatment of nominal phrases and determiner phrases within the DP-Analysis raised in the late 1980s. This will be pointed out in this paper as well. As well as the question whether a possessive construction can be treated as an inflectional form or even gets the status of a determiner there will be given a closer look to the history and use of the 's genitive and the his-genitive which usually applied in the second half of the 15th century. To get deeper into the discussion there will be a closer look to the position where the 's-construction do occur. Referring to cross linguistic reference the 's-genitive and other variations to point out a possessive relationship in Dutch language will be analysed more concrete. With reference to the DP-Hypothesis the change of the determiner status, i.e. the change of the 's-construction from the inflectional endings in Old English to clitic and in the end to determiner status are examined in this paper to give an overview how complex and investigated the 's-construction in English language is to this day. 20 pp. Englisch.…

It represented strength, liberty, equality, prosperity and security which people in Germany and certainly many other countries admired. But suddenly the named values weren't received as good and useful qualities anymore. In contrary, America's demonstrations of power suddenly conveyed the apparent wish to rule the world, the desire to appear superior and to monopolize control.Germany shows a rather peaceful and mediating approach to international conflicts. This is partly due to historical experience, esp. during the last 50 years when old enmities to other countries, like France for instance, could successfully be buried by negotiating and signing various contracts which eventually tied them together in trade, defense, security and other matters. This attitude though is clearly opposed to America's mostly military strategy (and nowadays Bush's sort of 'attack is the best defence' principle) which again could be explained with positive historical experience since from the American point of view the Cold War was won mainly by military strengh and persistence. These basic conditions must be considered when trying to give reasons for cooperation or dissociation between Germany and America after the Cold War. 16 pp. Englisch. …

First of all, the didactic messages involved in the stories demand a categorization of the large number of different narratives as the second chapter of the paper examines. Besides the didactic messages, the traditional manners of storytelling also play an important role for Native American adults and children. Special ceremonial customs related to the act of storytelling need to be analyzed. The third chapter of this paper focuses on the particular characters and actual examples of how proper behavior is conveyed by either serving as good or bad examples. Furthermore, the paper investigates the degree of importance and the need for traditional tales in the context of educating Native children. The character of the Indian trickster plays an essential role in these processes. After having prospected these aspects, one might also be able to evaluate the usefulness of Zitkala-Sa's Sioux stories for the education of non-Native children. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Simpson murder trial of 1995 was one of the most publicized and televised court proceedings in the history of the United States. In the 'trial of the century', the former football star and actor was accused of having murdered his former wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994. After the immensely long trial dominating the news and arousing numerous discussions on a nationwide and even international level, Simpson's eventual acquittal caused a highly controversial as well as heated reaction of the public. This paper analyzes the response to the outcome of the case by exploring various newspaper articles of the Los Angeles Times published immediately after the verdict. Primarily, it focuses on Californians' both positive and negative voices but also considers national and international responses. Moreover, the paper approaches both the versatile reaction of particular groups and the trial's aftermath that involved discussions touching race and gender issues. 16 pp. Englisch. …

In 1926 the political scenario of the country completely changed. Due to the 28th May Revolution, a military government of nationalist nature and anti-parliamentary was established. So it started a National Dictatorship, later known as the New State (Estado Novo). This dictatorship only came to an end on the 25th April 1974, when a military coup overthrew the government. The Radio would then play an important role in giving light to the revolutionary act and ending that period of 48 years of dictatorship.This essay will attempt to find out how National Radio, the very first Portuguese national broadcasting radio, was serving the political regime as an ideological channel of the New State between 1933 (when it was first created) and 1945 (by the end of Second World War). 20 pp. Englisch.…

During this almost ten years lasting war, which ended with the withdrawal of the Red Army in February 1989, the Soviet Union failed to defeat the Mujahedin primarily due to an initially false strategic alignment and severe tactical deficiencies. 16 pp. Englisch. …

BushGeorge Bush, a New England aristocrat partially transplanted to Texas, entered politics afteralmost two decades in the oil business. He was born on 12 June 1924 in Massachusetts, andgrew up in a wealthy New York suburb.Bush followed his father's example in switching from financial success in business to politics.He was and unsuccessful Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate from Texas in 1964 and1970, was elected to the House of Representatives in 1966 and again in 1968. After losing therace for the Senate in 1970, Bush was appointed by Presidents Nixon and Ford to a successionof important positions: U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, chairman of the RNC, liaisonto China, and director of the CIA. In January 1977 Bush resigned as head of the CIA andreturned to Texas, where he began campaigning for the presidency in 1978. However, he lostthe nomination to the more glamorous and conservative Ronald Reagan, who later picked himto be his running mate for the office of vice-president. The Reagan-Bush ticket won easily in1980, and 1984.Michael DukakisMichael Dukakis's political strength, and the reason he won the Democratic nomination in1988, was the fact that very different kinds of Democrats and liberals could project theirhopes onto him. At heart, the Governor of Massachusetts was an old-style Democrat.Dukakis's style was that of the upper-middle-class reformers who were now so important tothe Democratic nominating process. Yet Dukakis was also a Greek American, the 'son ofimmigrants,' as he would say over and over. His approach to government was intenselyserious and mistrustful of politics-as-usual. 16 pp. Englisch.…

In the following essay I will begin by briefly lay out the main assumptions of the two approaches, drawing especially on their differences and similarities. In a second part I will discuss what these theories set out to do and raise questions about the actual accomplishments. Thirdly, I will turn to a critique of LIG and NF identifying their weaknesses, refering to Thomas Risse`s argument that Liberal Intergovernmentalism and Neofunctionalism are both lacking `.some categories necessary to capture distinctive features of the EU`2. This will lead me to the fourth part of my analysis in which I will demonstrate what and how other approaches can fill in the theoretical gaps and wholes that I have pointed out in my critique. In My conclusion I argue that European Integration Theory does not need overarching, universal theories, but rather is a useful conglomerate of different theories3, that might be combined in eclectically, and offer various toolkits for different suitable areas and levels of analysing and explaining Integration. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Also, the international organization has three main characteristics-membership, aim, and structure. It should have at least two sovereign states as members, with the aim of pursuing common interest of the members, and has a formal structure established by an agreement officially adopted by all the members (Archer 2001). Taking the International Criminal Court (ICC) into consideration, it meets all the above criteria, so it can be regarded as an international organization.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Politics - Political Systems - General and Comparisons, grade: 1,7, University of Münster, language: English, abstract: Samuel P. Huntington was born in 1927 and is at the moment director of the John- Olin Institute for strategic studies at the University of Harvard. He was the author of an article, first published in the Foreign Affairs magazine, which has, according to Russel, Oneal and Cox ( 2000, p.584) 'turned into one of the most influential recent books on international relations'. This article was called 'the Clash of Civilizations ' and afterwards was extended (in 1996) to his book, called 'The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of the World Order'. This book was meant to be seen as a response to his highly polarising and provocative article mentioned above. In it, he tries to give answers to the questions which arose from his article and tries to clarify his standpoints and claims to underpin his thesis. Samuel P. Huntington has given new currency to the notion of a clash of civilizations. His 1993 article on the topic in Foreign Affairs and his book following this article has gained a global audience.Huntington argues that the bipolar division of the world based on ideology is no longer relevant. The world was entering a new period of intense conflict among civilizations. He states: 'It is my hypothesis that the fundamental source of conflict in this new world will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic. The great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural. Nation states will remain them most powerful actors in world affairs, but the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilizations. The clash of civilizations will dominate global politics. The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future.' (Huntington, 1993, p.22) In trying to understand the causes of actual events like the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States of America many authors have turned to Samuel P. Huntington's provocative and controversial thesis of a 'clash of civilizations'. In the following part of my essay I am going to comment on his main issues, presenting the main thesis and his general claims of his book and article, dealing with a possible 'clash of civilizations'. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: keine, University of Leipzig, course: Shakespeare Goes Hollywood, language: English, abstract: William Shakespeare surely is one of the most important English authors - although he lived 500 years ago, his works are still read and discussed. Since 1897, well over 200 films and countless television programmes adapted from Shakespeare's plays were produced . Especially his comedies enjoy great popularity. Because this paper will deal with one of Shakespeare's comedies, it is necessary to clarify the term 'comedy'. In Shakespeare's century, a comedy was everything that was not a tragedy or a historical play - so the term was as neutral as our German 'Schauspiel' is. The intended effect of a comedy was to 'frame your mind to mirth and merriment, which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life' , so to evoke laughter and entertainment with a therapeutic intention. In addition to that, comedies had a didactic function: they should show general mistakes like thoughtlessness, quarrelsomeness and meanness in the form of exaggeration. The main theme of the Shakespearean comedy is love. This paper will deal with 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' (written in 1595 or 1596) with a special attention to the play's couples. Their state of relationship and the language the lovers use will be in the foreground. Does it differ from normal language use If so, do the couples all speak in the same way Does the language differ from couple to couple, in dependency of their quality of relationship Firstly, it will be explained how the Elizabethan concept of love works. Secondly, it is demonstrated how a crush is revealed in terms of language and how a lover's language develops in Shakespeare's play. To conclude, the film version of Michael Hoffmann from 1999 will be looked at with special regards to a comparison of play and film. 16 pp. Englisch. …

It is the seaway everyday passed by many ships trading across the region and continent. Conflict in the South China Sea really affects both regional and international stability. Thus, the study of and seeking appropriate solutions for the Spratly Islands conflict are important at least for two reasons-ensuring both regional and international security and peace, and promoting regional cooperation. The incipient and latent conflict root is believed to be originally dated back to the 1930s; however, in this paper, the scope of analysis will be solely limited from 1969 up to present. 1969 was chosen as the starting point for analysis because it is the year that the manifest conflict started to erupt as the oil was first discovered in the Spratly Islands. Spratlys are invaluable resource in terms of not only oil, gas, seafood and natural resources, but also strategic location that all the claimants have been trying to achieve. So far, some efforts of preventing conflict have been tried, but the conflict still exists due to realistic interests of all the claimants, significantly China. Today, all parties have a vested interest in a peaceful resolution of the dispute; however the prospects for resolution seem low, while the potential for conflict remains and can grow. 16 pp. Englisch. …

Why, for instance, did European nations after the eighteenth century develop faster than Asian, African or Latin American nations and what can be done to reduce the so caused differences in income and growth 1 In recent years, many economists used institutions to explain why structural adjustment programs in poor countries have failed so far. Not the programs itself, so the tenor, but the lack of 'good institutions' has been blamed for the failure of many developing countries to catch up. In this paper, the current institution centered orthodoxy in development economics will be discussed from a critical point of view. In the first part, different strands of development theory will be reviewed. Secondly, the reasons for the prominence of New Institutional Economics will be analyzed. Finally, it will be discussed, if the institutional approach is holding its promises and if it is useful to focus on the institutional variable to explain economical development. 20 pp. Englisch.…

The first and most difficult is about the spine. In this case there are many problems and problems have the most restric-tive effects on humans life. The other part of the body, which is part of this work, are the arms. In this part of the body there can also be many diseases originated. But these have not such restrictive effects like problems or diseases with the spine. The reason is that the spine plays a more important role in the movement of the body. The third group of diseases or disorders are located in the legs. In this case the people have also a restricted life. In every part of the body there can be the same basic problems. These can be fractures, muscle ruptures, problems with the ligaments and other cartilages problems. But these are all diseases with a strong effect coming from outside. On the other hand there are diseases which are coming from other aspects, e.g. due sport or other exercises. These can be over-load damages. But in every case doing sport can help to heal the diseases. So this work will also describe in which way the sport or special exercises will help people to heal the illness. 16 pp. Englisch.…

Weltkrieg stark verändert. Die damals bestehenden traditionellen Bindungen gelten heute weniger, gesellschaftliche Institutionen wie Parteien und Kirche verlieren immer mehr an Einfluss. Die Gesellschaft individualisiert sich immer weiter und stellt damit das politische System vor andere Bedingungen. Doch wie sehen diese Bedingungen genau aus Kann die Vermittlung von Politik heute noch genauso vor sich gehen wie vor 20 Jahren oder muss das politische System heute im Bereich der Kommunikation neue Wege gehen Und inwieweit ist dies mit den Rahmenbedingungen der politischen Vermittlung, welche im Grundgesetz verankert sind, vereinbar Stellt die veränderte Situation vielleicht sogar eine Gefahr für die Demokratie dar Diesen Fragen wird in dieser Hausarbeit nachgegangen. Um Antworten auf diese Fragen zu finden wird zunächst dargelegt, wie der Gesetzgeber die Rolle der politischen Vermittlung durch die Parteien vorgesehen hat.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject History - America, grade: 1, The University of Liverpool, language: English, abstract: This source commentary deals with the methodological, interpretive and theoretical issues raised by using documentary photographs as historical sources. The problems and advantages connected with this type of historical source are going to be illustrated taking documentary photographs created for the photographic section of the US American federal government during the interwar period as an example. By focusing on two out of the approximately 80, 000 photos of this collection which were produced by the two most renown photographers working for the project, Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans, this source commentary is going to argue that using them profitably as sources in writing cultural history, requires at least as much or even more critical consideration and background information than is required by other sources. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Roosevelt's attempt to change the composition of the American Supreme Court can be seen from different perspectives. Some historians depict the Supreme Court debacle as the beginning of the end of the New Deal, whereas 'in later years, Roosevelt [himself], asserted that the court-packing fiasco was one in which he lost the battle but won the war [.]' (Coker, p. 114). In this essay, I will describe the situation which led to his proposal of reorganization, his further proceedings and the reactions to them. I will also analyze the results and the effects which it had on the New Deal during his continuing presidency. 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Western Europe, grade: 1,0, University of Wales, Aberystwyth (Department of International Politics), language: English, abstract: Some argue tat most major conflicts are triggered by internal, elite-level activities. At the same time peace processes are often elite-driven with a relatively small number of people responsible for making final decisions. The following analysis examines different attempts in Northern Ireland and the Basque Country to contribute sustainably to a peace process on a political elite-level. It will be shown that the success of leadership and political risk-taking by elites is highly dependent on the circumstances. It will be shown that courageous elite decisions are doomed to have little effect if basic requirements are lacking. Simultaneously, even if the preconditions seem to be appropriate peace processes can fail due to a lack of commitment on the side of political leaders.The conflicts in Northern Ireland and the Basque Country show - up to a certain extent - notable similarities in their initial situations. In both cases nationalist movements tried/try to alter the state of autonomy in one part of the country. Both conflicts led to cruel violence and left numerous civilians dead. Both conflicts took and take politically place within the particular province and between the province and the federal government of the nation state (Spain/United Kingdom and Ireland). The nationalist movements in both cases are divided between a radical party (Batasuna/Sinn Fein) and a more moderate one (PNV/SDLP). These similarities compose a good starting point for a comparative analysis.Regarding the generalizability of the findings, two central restrictions must be made. First the small number of cases (only two) discussed in this paper limit the possibility to draw universal conclusions. In statistical terms the extent of the sample is insufficient to make a valid statement about the relation of the variables 'leadership and political risk taking and 'development or outcome of a peace process . Another crucial point is that the variables in the two cases are not perfectly independent from each other as political decisions made in Northern Ireland are thought to have had an influence on the political sphere and thus on the peace process in general in the Basque Country. 20 pp. Englisch. …
