Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, Otto Beisheim School of Management Vallendar, language: English, abstract: Starting in 2005, the portion of foreign shareholders in the Dax has risen from 45% to 58% in the last decade. In the same year, the regulation of the European Union from 2002 came into effect which required all listed firms in the European Union to report their consolidated accounts in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) from 2005 on instead of each countries¿ generally accepted accounting standards (GAAP). This is just one example where the volume of investments increased concurrently with the adoption of IFRS.Therefore, the question arises if the mandatory adoption of IFRS in the EU in 2005 or in other cases significantly affected and continues to affect investment decisions among adopters or third parties. In order to better account for differences between different types of investors and investees, we differentiate between retail investors, institutional investors and corporate finance activities. Moreover, we focus on the consequence of IFRS adoption on equity investment decisions as most research appears to focus on the equity instead of the credit market. Additionally, Lourenco & Branco point out that most research which finds no significant effects of IFRS adoption on investment decisions appears to focus on voluntary adoption before 2005.Thus, this paper mainly focuses on mandatory IFRS adoption. In this context, research suggests that mandatory IFRS adopters experience significant capital markets benefits as well as enhanced foreign institutional ownership and enhanced M&A activity. Ultimately, we observe four overarching drivers behind the aforementioned observations that impact investment decisions across different types of investors and investees.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Sociology - Economy and Industry, grade: 1,3, University of Edinburgh (School of Social and Political Sciences), language: English, abstract: This essay will firstly outline the meaning of electricity and the grid in anthropology and social science. Secondly, it will take a look at the events in Zambia which accumulated to the so called 'energy crisis'. Thirdly, it will discuss the experiences made by Zambians during this period and their interconnectedness to social and political life, and fourthly, analyse the dependencies of the envisioned transformation on historical structures and current practices that are manifested in the grid.Zambia is at the juncture of forming the future of its energy sector. The energy crisis from 2015-2017 revealed the vulnerability of the power generation sector, which is largely dominated by huge hydro-electric power projects from the late 1950s, and led to an increased political and social awareness for the necessity of an energy transformation in the country.While the energy crisis has brought into light the entanglement of political and economic interests and social inequalities which are strongly connected to the powerful copper industry and its emergence during the colonial era, these patterns are likely to be reproduced channelled by their manifestation in the grid infrastructure. Thus, the questions arise how the electricity grid and its breakdown mediated and exacerbated inner-societal imbalances, and how the crisis that was tied to this infrastructure opened up one particular way of overcoming it. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Additionally, it discusses the driving forces for the internationalization of logistics and the related challenges.Today, logistics has acquired a wider meaning and is used in business for the movement of raw materials from suppliers to the manufacturer and finally the finished goods to the consumers. Logistics is also referred to as physical distribution. No other area of business operations involves the complexity or spans the geography of logistics. All around the world, 24 hours of every day, seven days a week, during 52 weeks a year, logistics is concerned with getting products and services where they are needed at the precise time desired. It is difficult to visualize any marketing, manufacturing or international commerce without logistics.Domestic logistics involves tracking and coordinating the flow of goods and services from their sources until the customer receives a final product within the same country. So 'international logistics' refers to the flow of goods, services, or people between different countries 28 pp. Englisch.…

Therefore, many legal subjects have to enter into the precontractual phase of negotiations that eventually lead to a conclusion or a failure of the treaty. As first outlined by Jhering in 18611, the precontractual phase can establish a legal relationship in which precontractual obligations have to be respected.In the following, the precontractual liability under the German, French and Portuguese law will be compared.After an analysis of the historical origin of the precontractual liability in general and the presentation of the historical developments in Germany, France and Portugal, the legal problem, that needs a regulation in the legal orders, will be defined.

First, the study seeks to understand the history of traditional religion and Christianity in Zimbabwe and how African Traditional Religion (ATR) has survived to today. Second, the study aims at bringing to light those practices from ATR that have been adopted by the Apostolic and Zionist Churches in Zimbabwe. This study attempts to understand the practices that the Apostolic and Zionist churches have borrowed from ATR.Traditional religion is core to Zimbabwean people and its impact has been felt by many Christian churches in Zimbabwe. Churches that are affected most are Apostolic and Zionist churches. These churches have promoted syncretism because they have mixed practices from African Traditional Religion (ATR) and Christianity in their worship and practices. While there have been attempts, especially by mainline churches, to extinguish traditional religion in the country, the efforts paid less because traditional practices are in the DNA of Zimbabwean people. This paper uncovers the practices found in Apostolic and Zionist churches that are strongly believed to have been borrowed from ATR. Most African Initiated Churches (AICs) have some elements of ATR within them. This work attempts to trace the history of ATR in Zimbabwe and expose those practices in AICs that are believed to have been copied from ATR. 32 pp. Englisch.…

The core meaning of reflection is occasionally contested, even belittled as mere individual self-dialogue. Popular commentary has wondered whether a mere recollection of event on a reflective format leads to any meanings at all. What we do know, is that reflection offers an opportunity to consider how one's personal experiences and observations through critical thinking and acceptance of new ideas. 24 pp. Englisch.…

It then analyses why the mediation was not successful at finding a long-term peace agreement. To lay the foundations, the first chapter depicts the circumstances of the war and the course of the peace process. Then a UN document is presented, which serves as a guide for successful mediation. To answer the research question, the analyses of several authors regarding the UN mediation will be summarized to find out at which point the Syrian mediation did not correspond to the guide.In the third part of the paper, the political system of Syria is identified in an authoritarian typology. In the discussion I will reflect on whether the traditional classification is sufficient or to which extent its potential shortcomings could also represent a problematic approach to the mediation process. This would be decisive for our understanding of the failure. The conclusion will summarize the explanations as analyzed in the research field and the findings of the discussion as well as the consequences this analysis has for further research. 24 pp. Englisch. …

While talking about minorities such as Natives Americans, representation becomes a process of stereotyping. The white American culture has always misrepresented Native Americans by associating them with derogatory descriptions. However, movies such as Dead Man came to recognize the differences among races throughout the history of America since Christophe Columbus discovered it. This paper also highlights other significant terms in postmodern and postcolonial thought such as rewriting history and intertextuality. As it provides a semiotic reading of Dead Man using the theories of Roland Barthes and other significant figures in this field. 24 pp. Englisch.…

For this purpose, changes of EU foreign policy in the context of the annexation of Crimea by Russia will be elaborated upon.

Subsequently, but especially after the Turkish financial crisis of 2001 and the AKP electoral win of 2002, Turkish economy boomed. Until 2015, GDP more than tripled, the economic structure changed (from agricultural to service sector dominated) and economic relevance increased, what is illustrated e.g. by the admittance in G20. This economic boom is accompanied by AKP's domestic political transformation (conservatism and moderate Islamisation) as well as the rising orientation to the region (Middle East, Northern Africa and Caucasus).Turkey became a regional player with high geostrategic ambitions. This is illustrated also by an alienation of the EU. This work adumbrates the general Turkish development before 1999 and outlines the development since 1999 (both political and economic). 32 pp. Englisch.…

This research, limited to a literature review and face to face interviews, conducted a systematic investigation to obtain and analyze valid and reliable research data to establish whether theoretical knowledge or practical experience are of paramount importance. The outcome of this research suggests that a hybrid approach should be adopted, with the major focus being on practical experience supported by relevant theoretical knowledge and not the converse. A number of additional recommendations are presented how to balance and close the gap between theory and practice including a redesign of ordinary and advanced level educational teaching. Far greater emphasis needs to be placed on young people gaining early practical experience inside and outside the classroom. This can be achieved by developing practical workshops (pilot studies) for use in safe laboratory-type environments and by extending work placements within organizations during term times. 28 pp. Englisch. …

The community history, culture and identity were passed on from one generation to the other through song and dance. Traditional musical instruments were also used.

Changes to Kamba song and dance occurred as a result of external cultures and the interactions among African societies. Therefore, this study is an eye opener to the dying Kamba traditional song and dance.

To do so, his book 'The Keys to the White House' which was firstly published in 1996 is required as the main source for the following steps that will serve as the leading topics of each chapter of this paper.The first chapter will briefly summarize and explain Lichtman's thirteen keys and how they were determined as critical indicators for predicting the winner of a presidential election. In a second step and therefore in the second chapter the focus will lie on how Lichtman decided whether a key applied to a residing President or not, especially regarding certain keys which cannot be answered simply because of extraordinary circumstances surrounding particular candidates of the various presidential elections since 1984. As Lichtman stated that the presidential race between Republican candidate Donald J.

It will assess the extent to which the law is successful in protecting patients' rights against arbitrary detention, and led to the conclusion that neither the past law nor the current law have adequately safeguarded people's rights against arbitrary detainment.To do so, it will start by evaluating the development of the protection of liberty frameworks in the UK, and how their inadequacy led to the implementation of DOLS in hospitals and care homes. Consequently, there will be an evaluation of three main criticisms. Firstly, it will look at the level of complexity of DOLS, both on a politico-legal plane and on a practical medical plane. Secondly, it will look at what is held to constitute as a deprivation of liberty, and how there are significant gaps in this definition.Thirdly, it will take a closer look at the implications of the Cheshire West judgment and evaluate the consequences of broadening the scope for DOLS. This essay will thus reach the conclusion that the law relating to the admission of incapacitated patients has failed to properly assess individuals' rights to protection from arbitrary detention. 24 pp. Englisch.…

A scavenger hunt can be a ludic and active approach to address pupils and transport educational and subject content. Thus, this scavenger aims to familiarize pupils of the age class 10-12 years with GIS and the possibilities GIS offer in a playful manner. It includes 5 stations which are addressed by following an instruction-sheet with QR-codes leading to the respective places and posing questions and tasks. For the scavenger hunt there are two datasets that must be handled: The tasks for each station including the submitted answers and the tracks of the groups. The results and the tracks should also be made available to the Z_GIS geoportal following the guidelines of open standards and interoperability. To fulfill these requirements a combination of two ESRI software products was used: ArcGIS Collector and Survey123. The tracks can be accessed as web feature service via REST URL whereas the survey answers are directly integrated into a dashboard with a map. So, the results are immediately updated and available in ArcGIS Online for inspection, comparison and discussion. 32 pp. Englisch. …
