The structure of a simple sentence is often T-vP in Bulu, but the exclusive focus particle never surfaces between T and vP a position which can host other particles. The paper is mainly a comparative study of Bulu and English syntax. I try to apply the work of Richard Kayne concerning the the overt movement of 'only ' in English syntax to the data of Bulu, I also pay tribute to Vicki Carstens for her works on bantu languages. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is a set of two works. The first is the master's thesis 'AA Members' Beliefs in God and Analysis of Their Consistency with Christian Tradition: A Phenomenological Study'. This empirical study dares to dig into a controversial question of the meanings of AA member's beliefs in Higher Power, or God. This qualitative study tries to explicate some of the commonalities by using the methodology of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. It does not claim to form a reliable theory but rather to provide a frame for forming a testable hypothesis grounded in the empirical research. The second work is a short article 'Quasi-fideism: is religious relativism inevitable ' It bears some more controversial speculations. I attempt to analyse the results of the previous study from an epistemological point of view. Again, it is not an attempt to assert the sole explanation of the phenomenon of AA spirituality. It rather aims to build an argument in support of a possibility of deeper layers underlying the ability of AA members to overcome religious and social differences. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Contemporary science and physics try to avoid topics such as consciousness and its nature. It considers them only as a product of brain activity. However, as quantum mechanics suggests, the phenomenon of consciousness (the conscious observer) might be closely related to the physical nature of our world. The famous Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment (and not only that) allows us to view the world from a different angle than we were taught in school. The universe may not be just a mass of inanimate matter in which life emerged as a random anomaly, but instead it could be the product of a principle that privileges the conscious observer over the observed. This view radically changes the way we understand the world. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Surprisingly, many congenital hand anomalies cause little functional deficit. Children develop prehension with hands as they are, and they usually are not self-conscious of difference until they become socialized in school. In contrast, parents may be dismayed by the appearance of an anomalous hand and may be hoping that surgery can create a 'normal' hand. The hand surgeon treating children with congenital hand anomalies must offer surgery to improve the child's function and cosmetic appearance, when possible, and counsel parents about what is and is not possible with the surgery. Early surgery is defined as that performed within the first 2 years of life. Advantages include the full potential for growth, development, and patterns of use; improved scarring; early incorporation of the reconstructed part; and reduced psychologic affect. Disadvantages of early surgery are increased technical difficulty and possible increased anesthetic risk. Most surgeons perform these operations when the patient is in the second year of life but no later than when the patient enters school. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Plants, especially those growing in mountain conditions, are exposed to ever-changing environmental factors. These factors, as well as various chemicals and viruses, can act as clastogens and aneugens and could induce alteration of the hereditary material of the organisms. As a result formation of micronuclei can occur. The frequency of micronuclei induced in the cells is an indication of the genotoxic effect of an agent/factor. Micronucleus (MN) assay is one of the most applied cytogenetic methods in genotoxic screening and monitoring. It is widely used as a sensitive biomarker for detection of DNA damage in various eukaryotic cells including human cells in vitro/in vivo. This paper summarizes and compares our investigations related with the induction of MN in plants, caused by combined action of UV irradiation and other abiotic factors on different wild plants growing in mountain conditions, as well as on model plant species exposed to single prolonged UV irradiation at controlled laboratory conditions. The micronucleus assay was adapted and applied to each plant species used in the study. MN test can be successfully used for the purpose of genetic monitoring. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Intestinal parasites are presented in all countries of the world, regardless of their level of socio-economic development or the health system. The WHO states that in the world there are about 3.5 billion people affected, of which about 450 million of them are sick. They are one of the major public health problems in developing countries, but not only, affecting about 1/6 of the world population and being a risk factor for children, pregnant women and subjects with compromised health. Their distribution is not the same in different countries and this depends a lot on a series factors which are explained in this book. However, all researchers of the problem think that the frequency of these parasites is much higher than reported. This is because studies in this area are not numerous, systematic, and spread in different contingents of populations; even though they are often sporadic.Therefore, the real incidence and prevalence of enteroparasitosis is perceived to be everywhere, more or less, deficient. This phenomenon, today in the age of globalization and super-migration, which conditions the uncontrolled spread of infectious diseases, is even more unknown. 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The main fault of the economic system is systemic poverty. In the systemic poverty there is no lack of goods and services but lack of the right to access them (money). Systemic poverty creates increased suicides, poor health, inability to make a family, reduced span of life, etc. The United Nations in recent years has declared a planetary scale campaign to eradicate poverty from the planet. Systemic poverty can be cured through free basic income. The free basic income is, unfortunately, not possible to be derived solely from taxes as it is a too large expense for Governments, so it has to be derived directly from currency issuing by the central bank or decentralized digital currencies. We state the necessary new principles and rules for decentralized digital currencies so as to give free basic income. As an alternative we analyze the necessary democratization that is required for the banking monetary system, so as to allow politicians to provide the free basic income. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Hydrogen is the most prevalent element in the world. It is also the most reactive. Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land all contain different types of chemicals. In response to changes in temperature and pressure in their surrounding environment, the vast majority of substances will transition between one of these states & another. In general, lowering the temperature of a gas will cause it to turn into a liquid, and lowering the temperature of a liquid will cause it to turn into a solid. Increases in pressure may cause a material to melt and solidify at a greater temperature than its composition requires. Hydrogen fuel has the greatest potential advantages and has the majority of the essential characteristics of an ideal fuel. When used in conjunction with electricity, hydrogen is a highly efficient energy transporter that can result in zero or near-zero emissions at the time of consumption. As a result, for the past 50 years, academics and representatives from a number of industry groups have pushed hydrogen fuel as a potential solution to global warming. The hydrogen has tremendous uses in industrial applications, domestic applications and energy production. 120 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the digital imaging field, contrast enhancement is an important factor that enables an image to be clearly recognized by allowing a proper distinction of its details through a suitable contrast improvement to provide a better visual representation for the low-contrast images. The process of contrast enhancement is very similar to removing a layer of fog from such degraded images. In computed tomography (CT), acquired images are usually low-contrast in which such degradation would severely corrupt the visual quality of the images making them difficult to interpret in clinical routines by reducing the lucidity of the image details and hindering the procedure for extracting valuable information. A new algorithm for contrast enhancement is introduced in this study, which is suitable for low contrast CT images. The novelties of the proposed algorithm consist of tuning the standard single-scale Retinex, adding a normalized-ameliorated Sigmoid function and adapting some parameters to improve its enhancement ability.In order to compare the clarity of the processed images against their original observations, the human vision is often used to assess the amount of contrast improvement. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) generally has poorly diversified economies and limited entry points and spaces for citizens to realize their livelihood and sociopolitical aspirations. Hence, more citizens look up to the government and donors for jobs/ contracts and patronage. The scarcity of productive opportunities has pushed many into a survivalist mode and cutting corners to enrich oneself, albeit illegal, has become the norm. Rather than serve as the primal agency for development, many African governments are turned to the battlefield for wealth grabbing. The received economic development paradigms that prioritize growth via capital accumulation as the core measures of development, without considering their sources, how they are distributed, and how well the population uses the wealth at their disposal to enhance wellness, are also to blame for underdevelopment in SSA. Amartya Sen's Capability Approach Framework comes in handy by emphasizing capability building and utilization as important factors for development and its sustainability. Hence, an attempt is made here to reconstruct Sen's capability approach to explain what can be done to speed up development in SSA. 84 pp. Englisch.
