Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -There are reports of food borne illnesses associated with the consumption of fruit juices and a lot of food borne illnesses have been reported at several places all over the world. Pakistan is one of the culprits of this issue. Present study was undertaken for detection of the possible sources of E.coli O157:H7 in street vended fresh fruit juices sold along the road sides of Lahore city, Pakistan which maintain unhygienic conditions and assessed its safety for human consumption.162 fresh juice samples of sugar cane, plum, tamarind, peach, lemonade and slush that were taken from different areas of Lahore and analyzed for the presence of E.coli O157:H7. It is suggested that unpasteurized fruit juices and contaminated water used in juice making is the potential vehicle for E.coli O157:H7 transmission. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Nepal, a country which still teaches its students that Nepal is second richest country in terms of per capita water resources has little to be proud of this fact owing to the continuous scarcity of water faced by its people every day. It is not only pure drinking water that is in shortage but also the water for other uses. Many new alternatives to water supply like Rainwater Harvesting system, Fog water Collection system and water tankers have been discussed as some of the possibilities for the same. These alternatives were compared by calculating the cost of water collected from each alternative considering their life span, investment and payback period from the perspective of the consumer and testing for the E.Coli contamination. The perception of people was positive towards these alternatives yet there was not enough awareness about the alternatives. Rain Water harvesting system was found as the best alternative with easy implementation in almost all parts of the country, zero energy input and cheapest alternative to collect potable water. This book should help researchers and people who wish to gain an insight into existing alternatives for water supply systems in Nepal. 92 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -These days, as corporations are seeking global opportunities, how to motivate employees from different cultures, who have different values, needs, and norms, is becoming increasingly important. This study first dealt with the relationship between national culture and the prevalence of various reward practices. Secondly, this study examined the link between reward practices and organizational performance in different national cultures. In analyzing, this study picked up seven countries and used Hofstede's four cultural dimension scores to examine the prevalence of reward practices. Also, to examine the effects of national culture on reward practices and organizational performance, multiple regression analysis was conducted. The findings of this study suggest that although national culture can play an important role in some reward practices, it is not the only factor to be considered in establishing compensation strategies abroad. That is, not only national culture but also other contextual factors, such as institutional factors, should also be considered as moderating variables when HRM managers build compensation strategies. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This manuscript is a MSc. Dissertation which highlights the implications of deforestation to the livelihoods of local communities in Kasulu District, Tanzania. It presents spatial and temporal forest cover changes, underlying and immediate causes of deforestation, and impacts of deforestation to socio-economic activities; and evaluate forest conservation measures. Field surveys were conducted using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Remote sensing and GIS analysis show that Kasulu district has been facing deforestation since 1980s; and there was no uniform forest cover from 1986 to 2009 in the study area. Deforestation has been largely attributed to rapid population growth including large influxes of refugees, and poor implementation of forest conservation and management strategies, agricultural expansion, and poverty. As a result, deforestation has been undermining economic, social and natural resources base. This study recommended awareness creation,promoting aforestation, reforestation and agro-forestry; participatory forest management strategies, and promoting income generating activities to reduce pressure on forest resources. 152 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Burmese migrants in Thailand live on the fringes of Thai society, legally and socially. It is a well-known fact that most Burmese migrants face barriers when trying to access health care services in Thailand. Deborah Ling interviewed 150 registered and unregistered Burmese migrant workers at two markets outside Bangkok on the differences between male and female migrants' access to health care services, health problems and health care seeking behaviours. One of these markets had an NGO clinic, and one did not. This study presents the results of these interviews; it reveals how female migrants experience more barriers than male migrants as well as experience the same barriers in more limiting ways, and it shows the importance, especially for female migrants, of having an NGO clinic in the migrants vicinity. Recommendations on how access to health care services for Burmese migrants in Thailand can be improved are also provided. 100 pp. Englisch.…

So that the labor force will move to the more productive sectors. Then after, the income inequality become higher. The rich become more richest and the poor become the poorest. So that those government organization who set policy and Non government who works to reduce poverty must give a attention to source of income which are more accessible to the poor! 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the La Moskitia region of Honduras, boom and bust cycles have dominated the local economy since the 1600's. The most recent of the cycles is driven by the lobster-diving industry, which has been a main source of income in La Moskitia since the 1970's. Since then lobster-diving has not only become unsustainable, but has had many negative social, economic and environmental impacts. The Honduran government has set a goal of phasing out lobster-diving in La Moskitia by 2013 but has been unable to provide sufficient alternatives for those who work in the industry. If more options are not made available by the 2013 deadline, this decision will cripple the local economy. This thesis analyzes the role of the lobster-diving in La Moskitia and examines possible alternative economic opportunities in the region. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For her destabilising effect from encouraging nuclear arms proliferation, North Korea is unique. While both hawkish and dovish works address Pyongyang s nuclear weapons programme, analysis concerning the mindsets, psychological paradigms and survival motivations of President Kim Il Sung, his successor, Chairman Kim Jong Il and the DPRK's current leader, Kim Jong Un appears to be lacking. As President Kim and Chairman Kim held dictatorial power while Kim Jong Un has been anointed as supreme leader, it would be prudent to understand the thinking, decision making rationales and mindsets of President and Chairman Kim as well as the constraints facing Kim Jong Un. In short, this monograph will attempt an in-depth analysis of the crucial events, ideological environments, and both domestic and international pressures that explain why a nuclear weapons programme was initiated under Kim Il Sung, further developed by Kim Jong Il and is being maintained by Kim Jong Un. Therefore, knowing the mental frameworks behind Pyongyang s nuclear ambiambitions would help analysts and their policy maker bosses derive effective strategies to promote and bring about lasting North Korean denuclearisation. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For voice handicapped people, an easy to use voicing aid device is desired. In mobile telephony, so-called non-speaking speech communication is an expected solution for essential privacy as well as for acoustic nuisance prevention. The study introduced here intends to cover both issues, introducing a system where the whispering (non-speaking voice or talk without vocal fold activation) signal is converted to pseudo-real voice signal, which is to be sent to, or heard by, the other party. The study also includes validation tests with multiple volunteers for its output legibility. Unlike general concept of speech regeneration being inclined to signal recognition or decomposition to text followed by electronic reading (voicing), our system converts it almost directly without recognition or decomposition steps. The processing is based on repetitive playback of short time autocorrelation, conducted by a synthetic pitch pulse. 68 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Newcastle and avian flu virus consider two of the main avian plagues, which can destroy not only chicken industries but also birds industries and alter the bird eco-system. The main problem with both virus, they associated with a high degree of mortality in velogenic strains and the difficulties to differentiate between infected and vaccinated birds and sometimes the bird get infected before the vaccine works as most routine vaccination approaches based on vaccination of hatched chicken not based on vaccination of the embryonated eggs, so this work has been done, where it provided data for a vector vaccine, easy to differentiate between infected and vaccinated and provided accepted, low cost, time saving approach and provided data about the protection from one day old chick, where we provided data about protection levels after embryonated eggs vaccinations against two of the most important viral diseases in chicken, which provided immunized one day old chick with immune level able to protect against virulent infection with high percentage for both avian flu and Newcastle viruses. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Marine unicellular calcifying algae, coccolithophorids, strongly interact with the global climate and carbon cycle through their photosynthetic and calcite formation activities. As their distribution has been known to be common in high latitudes in the ocean, their response to low temperature may be unique to support growth and distribution. This study intends to elucidate the morphological and physiological responses of the two species of coccolith-producing haptophytes namely, Emiliania huxleyi and Gephyrocapsa oceanica, to temperature. Enlargement of cell volume and its calcification are enhanced while cell growth is greatly suppressed at low temperature. Further, coccolithophorid E. huxleyi increase their production and unsaturation of alkenones by stimulating their chain elongation and unsaturation reactions when the cells are stressed by low temperature. These changes are reversibly regulated at high temperature. The relationship among these phenomena is not yet clearly elucidated, but the results suggest that they may be closely associated under regulation by temperature-sensitive signal transduction system. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -New theories of intelligence have been introduced and are gradually replacing the traditional theories. The multiple intelligence theory introduced by Gardner (1983) opened doors to other theories like emotional intelligence theory by Mayer and Salovey (1990) and Goleman (1995). IQ alone is no more considered as the only measure for success; emotional intelligence, social intelligence, and luck also play a big role in a person's success in life. The term emotional intelligence appeared in a series of academic articles authored by Mayer and Salovey (1990, 1999, and 1997). Their first article presented the first model of emotional intelligence. However, the term entered the mainstream only with Goleman (1995) who argues that IQ contributes only about 20% to success in life, and other forces contribute the rest. He also says that emotional intelligence is a new concept indeed, but the existing data imply that it can be as powerful as IQ and sometimes even more. Unlike what is claimed about IQ, we can teach and improve student in some crucial emotional competencies. Emotionally intelligent people are more likely to succeed in everything they undertake (Abraham, 1999). 108 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Life on earth is immemorial. No one knows when it has started and when it will finish. We have many attempts to unveil the origins of life, but they fail to give an exact date. For instance, Darwin himself was remarkably circumspect, titling his treatise On the Origins of Species, avoiding speculating on life s origins. In Darwin s world, life had already been created . We have different hypotheses on the origins of life, but all of them seem to agree on the fact that humanity has a past, present, and future. This research aims to explore Hollywood's visualization of the Future of Humanity. Tom Lombardo, for instance, views that the 'warning scenario' is a common theme within futurist thinking, both in science fiction and non-fictional books on the future. He thinks that the logic of such warning scenarios is if we keep doing what we are doing, things will get worse. Wendell Bell, on his part, refers to such predictions as 'presumptively true'. In other words, the logic of a warning scenario is 'If we keep doing X, then Y will follow'. This is a conditional predictive statement. 76 pp. Englisch.…
