Neuware -Thèse de Bachelor de l¿année 2018 dans le domaine Gestion d'entreprise - Direction d'entreprise, Management, Organisation, note: 17/20, Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth, langue: Français, résumé: Est-ce que la stratégie de la diversification est neutre, ou bien elle entraîne des effets positifs et négatifs qui peuvent détruire ou créer la valeur de l¿entreprise Pour répondre à cette question, il faut revoir les études réalisées au cours des années. Le chapitre 1 définit, le concept et les différentes formes de la diversification et les principales théories qui expliquent le choix de cette stratégie. En plus, on analyse les avantages et les coûts potentiels. Le chapitre 2 se concentre sur les effets de la diversification d¿après les études effectuées. Dans un premier temps, on examine les études montrant la destruction de la valeur suite à la diversification. La deuxième série des études portent sur les limites au niveau des méthodologies et des données utilisées dans les travaux précédents. Finalement, on revoit les études les plus récentes qui considèrent que la diversification crée de la valeur pour les firmes.La diversification est une stratégie adoptée par plusieurs firmes. Elle peut prendre plusieurs formes et elle se diffère selon les objectifs de l¿entreprise. La diversification peut être réalisée au niveau des secteurs locaux (diversification industrielle) ou au niveau des marchés internationaux (diversification géographique). Cette stratégie peut donner un avantage pour les firmes en réduisant leur risque de dépendance, en réalisant une répartition du risque et en créant une recherche continue de nouvelles compétences et innovations. Mais elle présente aussi des limites. Elle peut affecter l¿équilibre financier de la firme et diluer son image.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Linguistik, Note: 2,0, Universität Bremen (Germanistik), Veranstaltung: Wortkunst, Schriftflächen, Sound Clouds - Theorie und Praxis der linguistischen Ästhetik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Texte, Worte oder einzelne Buchstaben begegnen uns in der heutigen Zeit in unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen täglich. Sprache und Schrift ist omnipräsent. Die gilt auch für die moderne Kunst.Es ist das zwanzigste Jahrhundert, das den interaktiven Prozess zwischen Literatur und bildender Kunst maßgeblich geprägt und vorangetrieben hat. In den Kunstbewegungen im Bereich des Kubismus, des Futurismus und des so genannten Dadaismus findet die Literatur und insbesondere die Sprache zunehmend einen Platz in der bildhaften Gestaltung.Gleichzeitig eignet sich die Kunst Elemente des Sprachlichen an.Mit dem Satz 'Typografie kann unter Umständen Kunst sein' macht der Grafiker und Künstler Kurt Schwitters bereits 1930 deutlich, dass der Sprache ein wichtiger Stellenwert in der Kunst zugesprochen werden kann und sollte, denn in diesem Jahrzehnt wurde ihr eine gesteigerte Aufmerksamkeit zuteil. In der Moderne, insbesondere in der Avantgarde-Bewegungen und der Konzeptkunst, rückten Künstler und Künstlerinnen wie Robert Indiana und Joseph Kosuth, beeinflusst von der Linguistik und der Semiotik, neben Zahlen und Ziffern immer häufiger Buchstaben als gestalterische Elemente in den Fokus ihrer Arbeit. Die Sprache konnte und kann als künstlerisches Medium somit räumliche Grenzen in ihrer materiellen Form und ihre Möglichkeiten, die sich aus der neuen Symbiose ergeben, überschreiten.Aufgrund dieses sehr interessanten Aspekts soll in der vorliegenden Arbeit die Sprache in der Konzeptkunst anhand verschiedener Werke des Künstlers Lawrence Weiner untersucht werden. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Frage, welche Funktion oder Funktionen die Sprache in der Kunst erfüllt und in welchen Formen sie überhaupt auftritt. 36 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Praktische (Ethik, Ästhetik, Kultur, Natur, Recht, .), Note: 1,3, Hochschule Bochum, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll die Frage des ethisch moralischen Umgangs mit unseren Mitlebewesen, den Tieren, im Vordergrund stehen. Dabei beschränkt sich die Verfasserin vorwiegend auf die Tiere, die in der Lebensmittelproduktion ausgebeutet werden, ohne Berücksichtigung der vielen Millionen anderer Tiere, die für Versuche, Mode oder zur Unterhaltung der Menschen missbraucht und getötet werden. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist, einen Blick auf unser Zusammenleben mit den tierischen Lebewesen zu werfen und darzustellen, inwieweit ein moralisch ethischer Umgang möglich ist. Die Arbeit soll sich konkret mit folgenden Fragen beschäftigen: Lässt sich diemassenhafte Tötung von Tieren mit dem Holocaust vergleichen Ist ein Vergleich überhaupt möglich, beziehungsweise zulässig Die Tatsache, dass Tiere Schmerzen empfinden, leiden, trauern und ausgeprägte Sozialstrukturen aufweisen, wird seit Jahrhunderten ausgeblendet. Seit Beginn der Industrialisierung, Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts, werden die Tiere aus ökonomischen Gründen stetig den Produktionsbedingungen angepasst und nicht etwa umgekehrt. So werden den Ferkeln die Ringelschwänze kopiert, den Hühnern die Schnäbel gekappt und den Kälbern die Hörner gekürzt etc., trotz des 2017 angepassten Tierschutzgesetzes. In diesem heißt es: 'Niemand darf einem Tier ohne vernünftigen Grund Schmerzen, Leiden oder Schäden zufügen'1 TierSchG. Ein aktuelles Beispiel ist die derzeitige Diskussion um die Kastration von männlichen Ferkeln ohne Betäubung. Sie zeigt nur einmal mehr, dass die Descartes scheAuffassung, Tiere hätten kein Schmerzempfinden und seien demnach Maschinen gleichzusetzen, im 21. Jahrhundert eine weiterhin verbreitete Annahme ist. Allerdings lässt die Bestätigung des gesetzlichen Verbots vom 21.09.2018, Ferkel ohne Betäubung zu kastrieren, auf ein langsames, aber stetiges Umdenken hoffen. 24 pp. Deutsch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Leadership and Human Resource Management - Generation Y, Generation Z, grade: 1,0, Albstadt-Sigmaringen University, language: English, abstract: This paper will deal with the question: What measures do companies take to retain Generation Z for long-term loyalty After the previous chapter presented the extensive problem and the goal of this paper, the next section provides fundamental background information about the research topic. The background information is sectioned in three key aspects. First of all, a basic understanding of employee retention management will be created of which measures can be implemented and which framework conditions should exist in the company for successful employee retention. This will later serve as a foundation when it comes to binding Generation Z to companies. In order to be able to place Generation Z in an overall context, the previous generations are first going to be defined. The overview of the four relevant generations illustrates how the generations were shaped by the time of their birth and how they partly differ from the other generations. After a profound knowledge of Generation Z is acquired, the expectations and needs of this group must be determined next. Generation Z's expectations to the employer should provide initial insights into the measure¿s companies need to take in order to retain the new generation in the long term. In the main section of this paper, the two companies Google and Daimler are used as pioneers for the retention of the new generation as best practice examples. Subsequently, these will be compared with the findings from the expectations of Generation Z and further recommendations will be formulated and defined. The summary at the end of the paper will conclude the answer to the stated research question and the way to go forward.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich BWL - Beschaffung, Produktion, Logistik, Note: 1,0, Universität Hamburg (Operations und Supply Chain Management), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In den meisten High Tech Supply Chains ist ein Großteil des geführten Bestandes der Sicherheitsbestand, dieser Fakt ist die Folge der steigenden Nachfrageunsicherheit und der Produktvielfalt auf den Märkten. Problematisch ist dies für Unternehmen einerseits, da ein hoher Sicherheitsbestand mit hohen Lagerhaltungskosten einhergeht, andererseits hat die steigende Produktvielfalt einen kürzeren Produktlebenszyklus zur Folge. Ein Produkt könnte demnach sehr schnell und abrupt an Nachfrage verlieren und dies erhöht die Kosten für Unternehmen, im Falle eines hohen Sicherheitsbestandes.Das Ziel einer jeden Suppy Chain ist es den Mehrwert zu maximieren. Der Mehrwert einer Supply Chain wird bestimmt, indem man die Kosten der Supply Chain von dem Kundenwert subtrahiert, es gilt Mehrwert der Supply Chain = Kundenwert - Kosten der Supply Chain. Daraus folgend muss immer die Produktverfügbarkeit, die für den Kundenwert steht, in einem positiven Verhältnis zur Änderung des Sicherheitsbestandes und der Kostensituation stehen. Für potenzielleKunden wird es stetig einfacher die Produktverfügbarkeit zwischen einzelnen Händlern zu vergleichen, diese müssen lediglich im Internet auf der entsprechenden Seite nachsehen, ob das Produkt verfügbar ist. Dies setzt die Unternehmen unter Druck und zwingt diese dazu die Produktverfügbarkeit zu verbessern um nicht zu viele Margen zu verlieren.Eine höhere Produktverfügbarkeit wird mit einem höheren Sicherheitsbestand erreicht, dieser jedoch bewirkt das Steigen der Lagerhaltungskosten. Die Lösung dieses Zielkonflikts, bzw. die Bereitstellung eines optimalen Kompromisses ist ein sehr wichtiger Part des Bestandsmanagements und gleichzeitig das Ziel dieser Ausarbeitung. Ist es möglich Sicherheitsbestände zu senken, ohne dass die Produktverfügbarkeit darunter leidet Genau dieser Frage wird im Folgenden nachgegangen. Ziel ist es, ein praktikables Modell und eine entsprechende Umsetzung zu entwerfen und Unternehmen eine Hilfestellung und eine mögliche Lösung des Zielkonflikts zu bieten. 40 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: 1,0, University of Münster (Sportwissenschaft), course: Körper ¿ historisch, soziologisch, kulturwissenschaftlich betrachtet, language: English, abstract: In the context of this thesis the topic of the gender construction is taken up. Subject areas of the social and natural sciences try to find the causes of the gender-specific differences with the aid of various theories. At first, an analysis of the relationship between society, gender and sport should make it clear how the social subsystem Sport was influenced and structured by everyday theory. Using the example of the controversial phenomenon of sex tests in sport, it should be shown that the gender of a person cannot be measured using biological-medical criteria only. This thesis is contrary to the widespread opinion in medicine and biology that sex can be clearly determined based on five criteria. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of the procedure and basics of gender testing should be created by summarizing these criteria. In a second step, it is shown that it is possible by a social-scientific point of view to question hypotheses of a purely biological, pre-social nature of man. A basic insight is that the society in which we live is a result of our own actions. The everyday distinction between man and woman is an expression of attribution that does not refer to the individual but to the cultural system. It raises the question of the social aspect in the gender categorization. This questions the collective assumptions of the binary system of attribution as it considers the process of forming different genders in the social world.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Organisation and administration - Public administration, University of Erfurt (Willy Brandt School of Public Policy), course: Implementation of E-Government, language: English, abstract: The main objective of the study was to underscore the importance of public participation or outreach in implementation of e-government services. Within the course of this study, specific attention is paid to Ghana. There is a compelling need for reforms within the public sector and this has continuously occupied government's policy frameworks all around the world because of the need to 'get things right' through better policy improvement and implementation. Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008, governments have been devising ways to use information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance the performance of the public sector. The use of e-government services have been seen as an enabler in automating a broad range of government functions. The study focused on the Domestic Tax Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority. The study relied on e-government theories, public policy theories, activities of the Ghana Revenue Authority in e-government service provision and the involvement of the public in their implementation. The study recognized that the Domestic Tax Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority, unlike other businesses, does not decide who they choose as their clients and are expected to serve everyone regardless of their background or where they are located. The study concludes that agencies implementing e-government services have to consider that, a significant part of society lacks information on the use of e-government services and therefore must be involved in the participation process of e-government services of tax administration to help achieve better outcome.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject African Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg (Institute of Philology), course: Names as Potential Source of Conflict, language: English, abstract: Identity is one of the basic needs of a human being, a community and even a nation. It defines who we are. Identity is formed through different aspects, such as history, culture, religion or language. During the apartheid rule in South Africa, the white minority devalued the identity of the black majority population by declaring every non-white citizen a second or third class human being. After the fall of the apartheid regime in 1994, the concept of separating different ethnic groups was diminished. The ¿Rainbow Nation¿ as a synonym for a peaceful and multi-cultural society emerged. Currently, South Africa tries to construct a common post-apartheid identity, which focuses on unity rather than segregation. Place names are an important element in the building of an identity, because they give a sense of belonging to the inhabitants. In South Africa, many place names reflect the apartheid history and are seen as a symbol of segregation (further details in chapter 4). In 1998, the government passed the South African Geographical Names Council Act, which was the starting point of the renaming process.This paper will examine the renaming process in the post-apartheid South Africa. It will focus on the importance of geographical names for the identity building. Due to the different ethnic groups living in the country, South Africa proves to be a good example of the struggle of uniting different cultures and heritages, which still plays an important role. This paper will discuss if the change of place names contributes to the formation of an all-encompassing South African identity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: International relations, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: Peace and security in Africa has been an issue of concern not only within the region but also for the international community because of the negative consequences of conflict in the continent since the 1960s. One of the threats to Africäs regional security is the proliferation of nuclear weapons. African states are not involved in nuclear proliferation as none of the 54 countries is a nuclear state. With the Pelindaba Treaty, Africa has washed its hands off proliferation of nuclear weapons and becomes a nuclear weapons free zone. However, Africa is infested with a plethora of security challenges including terrorism and insurgency, which could be compounded if the various terrorist and insurgent groups in the continent could get hold of nuclear weapon. The precarious state of regional security demands that Africa gets active in non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.Using secondary data, the paper argued that non-proliferation of nuclear weapons is important for peace and security in Africa. It noted that the prospect for a nuclear war is higher in the world today than it has ever been and Africa stands to lose woefully in the advent of a nuclear war. The paper noted that Africäs security dilemma would be compounded by nuclear arms race. The paper recommends that African state should focus on addressing the security and humanitarian challenges exacerbated by the proliferation of small arms and light weapons as well as governance deficit. Additionally, African countries must support the UN the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and finally, African countries need to rise up to the root causes of insecurity in the region by addressing poverty, youth bulge, unemployment, infrastructural deficit, ethno-religious rivalry, bad governance and corruption as well as drug and substance abuse. It is the submission of this paper that Africa must continue to speak with one voice in support of nuclear non-proliferation in Africa and the world in general as well as do more to curb the proliferation of small arms and light weapons.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Health - Miscellaneous, grade: na, University of Western Sydney, language: English, abstract: Infectious diseases are a constant threat to human life. Various scientific research findings since the 19th century have, however, paved the way for an improved comprehension of infectious diseases with regards to their natural history and the preventive measures to control them. These measures include vector control, immunisation, and water treatment. The implementation of these measures over the last century brought about huge victories for mankind in the battle to control infectious diseases. A good example of such victories is the eradication of smallpox in the year 1979. In recent decades nonetheless, the incidence of infectious diseases which were thought to be well controlled has increased in several locations across the world. Antimicrobial resistance is also on the rise globally and diseases which were previously unknown to man have also emerged. These issues have become global problems which require urgent assessment and resolution. This essay is an in-depth critical review of the literature on Ebola, one of the emerging communicable diseases. The essay will discuss the concept of disease emergence, provide a brief history about the Ebola virus, review the factors that have contributed to the emergence of Ebola infection, discuss some of the current policies to control this disease and make recommendations on strategies to improve on the current Ebola control policies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,0, University of Tubingen, language: English, abstract: This paper deals with children's development of grasping and producing irony. After giving a definition of irony and an extensive overview of its forms, the paper will focus on theories which are currently predominant in the field of child psychology and irony.'Tim and Jan are [going] to the park for a picnic. [¿]. As they unpack their food, it begins to rain. Jan comments, ¿What perfect weather for a picnic¿.' Although Jan¿s utterance seems to be positive, in this context he obviously means the opposite of what is said. He uses irony to complain about the bad weather. Conversations like these occur several times a day. Therefore, the competence of grasping irony is important for everyday life and in particular for social discourse. Everyone should be able to understand and practice irony.However, this can be complex. Irony is not always obvious and can be easily mistaken for lies or understood in a literal meaning. Adults sometimes struggle to detect irony and consequently, misunderstandings in adult conversations can occur. When even adults struggle with irony, one can assume that children do not grasp irony at all. As children are an essential part of our lives and social surroundings, it is interesting to explore the development of children learning to understand, interpret and produce irony.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: This essay will observe how rationalism, logic, and scientific fact prevail against old-fashioned superstitions. Also, it will discuss how the background of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle helped to shape the character of Sherlock Holmes, and how the political situation in England was reflecting in the creation of such mastermind. Holmes is someone who does not believe in old fairy tales such as the existence of a hellish dog and a curse over the Baskervilles family. When Holmes is on the scene, logic is always present.Additionally, the birth of the Gothic literature will be examined. The impact that Conan Doyle had on society by creating the genius mind, the logic-based thinker, Sherlock Holmes, was to create the foundation not only for the modern crime scene investigations, but also a model for the modern detective novel. Influential facts such as educational background of the author, influential figures in his life, the publishing of the Darwinian theory, ¿The Origins of Species¿, and phrenology studies done by the author strongly influenced the creation of Sherlock Holmes and his scientifically based genius mind, fighting against old- fashioned superstitious beliefs.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2018 in the subject History - Australia, Oceania, , language: English, abstract: This essay gives a brief overview of the indigenous people of Australia (Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders) and analyzes the occurrence of cardiovascular disease among them with possible solutions using the social determinants of health framework and identify the relevant stakeholders required to address this health issue. The health status of indigenous Australians played a crucial part in the decline of the population following the European colonization. Diseases such as smallpox, influenza, tuberculosis, pneumonia, measles, typhoid, whooping cough, varicella, and diphtheria were the main culprits in the decimation of the indigenous population of Australia. Today, the average life expectancy of indigenous Australians remains significantly lower than that of non-indigenous Australians and they also have an increased risk for several diseases (both acute and chronic) compared to the non-indigenous population. The commonest cause of death among these people are cardiovascular disease and as such, underlines the reason why it is the focus of this essay. Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders are collectively known as the indigenous people of Australia. Aboriginals were the primary inhabitants of Australia while Torres Strait Islanders inhabited the islands located between Australia and Papua New Guinea. The European colonization of Australia, however, changed this dynamic and brought about dramatic changes that affected these people and their way of life. This led to a massive decline in the population of indigenous Australians.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Literature - Africa, grade: 2.5, University of Lagos, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to answer the question of how Adeymi Daramoläs poem 'Coronavirus Pandemic' serves as a paragon for African oral Construction on more general basis.Poetry continues to provide the place of mirroring the existential reality of the society. The exactitude in this is what animates the architecture of Adeyemi Daramola's 'Coronavirus Pandemic.' Admittedly, it has shamelessly but viciously become the metaphorical clog in the wheels of our global collective progress. This global issue is gradually serving as a raw material for literature, validating the truth that literature reflects the society. There is no gainsaying that there is a symbiotic relationship between the pair so that what affects one, quite naturally, impinges on the other. Without doubt, the situation has served as a tool in the construction of Adeyemi Daramola's 'Coronavirus Pandemic.'Daramola, through his poem, lends his voice to the numerous voices that have registered their concern on the influx of the virus and its consequential effect. The poet reaches into the vast repository of oral literature in providing an African interpretation of a Western-named global pandemic experience. He aesthetically weaves traditional nuances into the poem with a polish of sound, while rhythmically and linguistically nativizing the piece, touching base with African orality conventions as he attempts to address an existing reality of a globally shared horrifying experience. Given this schema, this paper is bound to the bane of using the analytical tool of orality in appreciating Daramola's artistic craft.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

This will lead to an abstract on fan cultures, what they are and how they come into being. This first part will be concluded by a theoretical approach on how original works are in a constant change. The second part of this paper will study these concepts in the works of Jane Austen.Starting with a look at the reception of Austen¿s novels, she will go on with an overview of why and how her work was adapted, followed by a chapter on the fan culture which focuses exclusively on her and her work. This part will then be concluded by tracing the elements of fan culture in the series Lost in Austen, to see how the changing process applies here and is furthermore shown on several levels.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 2,0, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg (Politikwissenschaft), course: State and Non-State Actors in Violent Conflict, language: English, abstract: Uganda, a landlocked country in Eastern Africa, has struggled with violent conflicts since the end of colonial rule in 1962. The emergence of the Lord¿s Resistance Army (LRA) in 1987 in the northern region is one of the infamous examples of the violence the country had to endure. Since 2006, the LRA is no threat to Uganda anymore, as the movement withdraw to the neighbouring countries and has lost a significant amount of strength. Several scholars offered different explanations as to why the LRA was able to gain their power and remained to terrorize the Ugandan population for such a long period of time. Many believe that the spiritual system is the main driver behind the high number of fighters and the success of their leader Joseph Kony. But the use of extreme violence against the government military forces as well as against the civilian population is one of the aspects which let the LRA maintain their crusade. However, the strongest argument lies within the north-south divide of the country, which led to inequality and can be seen as one of the main reasons for the conflict. This paper will examine the causes for civil wars with the focus on the conflict in northern Uganda.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 24 pp. Englisch.

This work elaborates on how a movie changed the way women dressed and perceived themselves. It draws a connection between gender and fashion, as fashion was and is an important medium in the emancipation of women. Gender roles and the expectation that come with them are still present today. Our cloths are an outer representation of gender which also works inwards, with its masculinity as well as femininity are still being produced and maintained separately from each other today.'Annie Hall' marked Woody Allen¿s start as a serious filmmaker in Hollywood, showing that he could not only make light comedies and slapstick but also touch on more deeper topics. 'Annie Hall' was a turning point in his career, it catapulted him, but also Diane Keaton, into the mainstream of Hollywood. Many unknown actors that had small parts in the movie, went on and became famous like Jeff Goldblum or Sigourney Weaver, which had her debut on 'Annie Hall'.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 24 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - General and Theories of International Politics, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Regensburg, language: English, abstract: Climate change is increasingly becoming a global challenge. This makes cross-border efforts and cooperation of nation states fundamental when searching for constructive and sustainable solutions. It shows relevancy for evaluating and analyzing the interdependencies and interactions between the actors involved. Hence, this paper aims to study the effect of climate change on international relations by examining its impact on the development of international organizations. In order to explain the connection between climate change and international organizations, the political theory of classical liberalism has been used.A special tool applied was the Kantian triangle, which is based on Immanuel Kant¿s liberal approaches to stability in global systems against the backdrop of classical liberalism. The triangle describes the pacifying effect of an interaction between democracy, economic interdependence and international organizations, which facilitates perpetual peace. Focusing on the factor of international organizations, a brief overview on institutions established and agreements made in order to halt climate change and reduce its implications will then be given at the end of the paper.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 32 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, , language: English, abstract: This paper discusses the Kenyan constitutional and legal framework for the enforcement of county laws. It exposes the inadequacy of the legal and institutional framework as the root of all other challenges experienced in the enforcement of county laws in Kenya. These challenges include lack of capacity for the enforcement of county laws by the counties, corruption menace, lack of a uniform code of conduct for county askaris, the novelty of devolution to county askaris and the general public and the lack of county courts to resolve disputes involving counties and enforce county laws. Proposals for addressing these challenges are given stressing on the need to enact legislation to provide for the legal and institutional framework for the enforcement of county laws in Kenya. This is important because one of the ways through which the objects of devolution can be achieved in Kenya is through the effective and efficient enforcement of county laws and regulations. Kenya adopted a new Constitution on 27th August 2010 with devolution1 being one of its most transformative aspects. Devolution was a good solution to the problems of marginalization, inadequate service delivery and regional disparities in development which was associated with the highly centralized system of government. With devolution, two levels of government were created: national and county governments.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

The impact of small households, as well as the old age dependency ratio, will be inspected. A regression model (OLS) is constructed to examine both occurrences. Statistical significance of the variables is proofed by relevant research on the topic. Results show that the number of small households is positively, and old age dependency ratio negatively correlated to the average apartment price (¿/m2) in Leipzig. Summing up, this paper recommends to critically examine societal aging factors in order to determine political, investment, and property developing strategies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Social System and Social Structure, grade: 1.3, Bielefeld University, language: English, abstract: This paper wants to contribute by taking a closer look at the inter-linkages of different forms of inequality and how they influenced and caused each other in different stages of the disaster. Therefore, the time before the hurricane, the time-span of re-migration, and New Orleans¿ long-term development will be analyzed with regard to their specific importance for the exacerbation of inequalities.Some scholars argue that ¿[c]limate change has become part of high politics¿. The scientific community agrees that climate change is partly responsible for the increase of extreme weather phenomena even though climate change¿s impact factor cannot be exactly determined. People all around the world are exposed to extreme weather conditions and it can generally be assumed that ¿[t]here will always be crisis, catastrophes and uncertainty¿. People try to lessen the impact of natural hazards and while almost all communities and countries are statistically affected by those hazards, their responses differ massively. One strategy to lessen the impact of those ¿[r]are, if not unique, and as striking rarely and without warning¿ phenomena is migration. ¿Environmental migration is not a new phenomenom. [.] However, global climate change threatens to significantly increase human movement, both within states and across international borders¿.A lot of research has been dedicated to identifying and differentiating between mitigation and adaption strategies, however, less attention has been invested into the resettlement of and in urban areas. Further, it should be noticed that due to the on-going trend of urbanization, the city as a matter of analysis of climate-induced migration will steadily gain importance and due to rising sea levels, coastal cities are more affected by climate change and thereby by climate-induced migration than the inland. Even though numbers vary massively depending on the employed definitions concerning climate-induced migration, it can nonetheless be stated that ¿the populations of coastal megacities have skyrocketed¿ in the last couple decades and, on the basis of those tendencies, it can be concluded that more people will consequently be affected by climate-related phenomena in the future.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 36 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Urban and Regional Planning, grade: 75.00, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses how informal economic actors utilize the various categories of open spaces in the Kumasi Metropolis. Furthermore, the effects of informal economic activities on formal spaces in the Kumasi Metropolis will also be examined. High rate of urbanization and fast growing economies have impacted on land use patterns. This paper examine how various informal economic actors are using the various categories of open spaces in the Kumasi Metropolis and how city authorities respond to their activities in these public spaces. The recent trend towards increasing informal economic activity in African cities and towns, coupled with the contribution of informal activity to urban and urban development efforts, leaves much to be desired. The research was specifically directed at assessing the effects of informal activities with a great deal of emphasis on the use and management of formal spaces in the metropolis of Kumasi and how to integrate it with activity in the management and development of urban areas. In order to maximize the capacity of the informal sector and its effects on formal spaces, there needs to be efficient integration of the business enterprises of the sector and the use of public spaces by stakeholders in urban management and development policies, as well as the effects of social inclusion on the use of public spaces.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics, Urban Management, Planning, grade: 2, University of Salzburg, language: English, abstract: This work aims to compare the indicators of the western liveability concept to concepts from developing countries. In this case at least one liveability study from each continent (Latin America, Asia and Africa) that is underrepresented in these classical liveability rankings was chosen. Liveability is a widely used and popular term nowadays, but it is hard to quantify and compare liveability. The most used and prominent attempts to compare liveability on a worldwide scale are the liveability list. These annual rankings sort big cities according to the score in certain parameters that are weighted and then summed together. Usually cities from the industrialized countries are found at the top of these lists whereas cities of developing countries form the bottom. Maybe there are different concepts of liveability in different parts of the world and these rankings are only the western view on liveability.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 28 pp. Englisch.
