Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The present study examined attitudes towards mental illness between students in Syria and the United Kingdom using a survey design. Attitudes were investigated using the Opinions on Mental Illness (OMI) questionnaire (Cohen and Struening, 1959), where sub-scales within the questionnaire were used to measure five factors that underlie attitudes towards mental illness . It was found that there was a significant difference in overall attitudes towards mental illness between Syria and UK, with Syrian participants holding more positive attitudes than UK participants. Also, there was a significant difference in sub-scale scores between Syria and UK and a significant interaction between attitude and country. The study concluded that positive attitudes towards mental illness are driven by religious kindliness and moral beliefs; and negative aspects of attitudes are rooted in a conviction that mental illness is motivated. It is suggested that investigating the different factors that underlie attitudes would be useful in guiding awareness campaigns on ways to counteract stigmatisation of mental illness.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Nowadays, computers are widely used and have been integrated in almost all industrial, executive and academic sectors. Many sectors like transportation, health care, entertainment and even law enforcement rely on automated identification systems in order to enhance the security. Common methods of authentication like the use of passwords/PINs, ID cards do not provide a satisfactory level of reliability in this age of evolving information. Hackers can easily hack and crack systems with the probability of accessing important, confidential information. Biometrics is considered as an important and reliable authentication tool which can solve the above problems, amongst all, efficiently. The undertaken project points at designing and implementing a prototype face recognition system with respect to ageing. In this project, the ageing impact is taken as the main factor. The system tends to nullify the effect of ageing on the recognition of a person. The underlying technology used is the Eigen-based face recognition method. While designing the system, factors like inexpensiveness, user-friendliness and ease of integration were considered in the development of this software.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Africa's underdevelopment, it is believed, could be solved by using the catching-up process. That is, imitating the West through the transfer of information and knowledge concerning scientific; technological; social and economic development strategies into Africa, using education and its associated publication of reading materials.The transfer of the majority of these information and knowledge are, however, done in the adopted foreign languages that the majority of the people are not proficient in, thereby slowing the pace of development on the continent.It has been established that people understand information better when communicated to in a language that they are more proficient in- their indigenous language. The publication of reading materials in indigenous languages will, therefore, facilitate learning in Africa. However, the poor economic and complex language situation of almost all African countries makes it difficult for them to successfully educate their masses in their indigenous languages. This book stresses the history and current situation of indigenous language publishing in Ghana, and the benefits and challenges of publishing in native African languages.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This thesis traces the advent and development of both 'High Concept' Hollywood industrial practice and the relation thereto and key role played in such by Dance Movies. Beginning with SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, then tracing its innovations through FLASHDANCE, FOOTLOOSE, DIRTY DANCING, and SAVE THE LAST DANCE, this thesis also provides a preliminary unifying genre theory of Dance Movies and their evolution from a hybridized sub-genre of sports films and the Hollywood Musical to a more fully-formed, unique, freestanding generic status. I also explore and delineate cross-promotional marketing-- specifically between the music and film industries, and the key personalities and pioneers in each field. The thesis therefore examines a key nexus of socio-cultural and industrial factors in shaping the type of films and music made and marketed during a key transitional point in film and pop music histories in the late twentieth century and its continually felt reverberations today. 108 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Circle of Justice is a state theory which has a major role in the formation of Ottoman social and political order, and it is also a key concept to understand the relations between the ruler and the ruled during the classical period. Although it was inherited from the Pre-Ottoman Turkish states, actually this theory goes back to Ancient East. The Circle of Justice makes the ruler and the ruled mutually dependant on each other with functional solidarity with the mediatory of the institutions like army and treasury. The Ottoman Empire employed this theory as an essential guide in their state practice. Also, it found an important place in the Ottoman political advice literature and turned out to be a common concept used by different genres. While in flourishing times it was used to maintain the ongoing system, in the later periods it became a tool to criticize the corruption and lack of order. Through the prism of the Circle of Justice, the study of the relations between the sultanate and the re yâ can sweep aside the modern wrong image which portrays this relation as of autocratic rulers and suppressed subjects, and supply with a clear and unbiased vision for further research. 116 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Emerging trends indicate that self-regulation is the preferred model for promoting high journalism standards in democratic societies. The challenge, however, is that it presupposes some level of maturity in the professional ranks and a culture of respect for both peers and the society, which is not always the reality. In its quest to maintain high professional standards, the media fraternity in Kenya has adopted self-regulation as a tool for ensuring media accountability. While this approach has been instrumental, its effects still remain elusive. Based on a case study of the Media Council of Kenya, this book explores the effectiveness of self-regulation as a model of media accountability. The findings of the study reveal that the model is beset by lack of commitment by the media industry and public ignorance of the role of the media council, among other challenges. This book is suitable for researchers, policy makers and media professionals grappling with the question of media accountability in contemporary journalism. 84 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The effective management of transboundary international rivers has become urgent in recent times as a result of rapid population growth, industrial expansion and negative fluxes from climate change impact. The Volta River Basin is drained by an international river shared among Ghana, Burkina Faso, Cote D Ivoire, Benin, Mali and Togo. There have been several attempts at reaching a laudable regional cooperation in this basin since the last decade. These efforts had been capacity building, empowerment of vulnerable communities and steps towards the establishment of the Volta Basin Authority. There is no comprehensive document assessing the level of impact of these dotted projects in the basin. Therefore, this document hopes to bridge this gap by providing a quick overview of the most important water research projects that have taken place in the basin in the last decade and the thematic areas covered by these projects. It will serve as a guide in the formulation of specific project goals to avoid duplication in the basin and, as a result enable stakeholders to focus on precise problems that have not been tackled by previous or current projects. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The evolution of organizational identity is often represented as a combination of an intentional management (sensegiving) and a more social negotiated sensemaking. The need to lead the organizational identities evolution cannot forget the social nature of this process. This work proposes to use cognitive maps in order to understand this process and generate an action plan that allows to partially lead a social process.Even if the qualitative approach of this work has the well-known limitation in generalization of findings, it is possible to underline at least two main results: the necessity to manage deliberately the organizational identity as a variable that can affect the success of post merger integration; the necessity to consider that the evolution of organizational identity is a social negotiation and a process of sensemaking. 60 pp. Englisch.…
