Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The focus of this book is upon the UCP, which consists of a set of principles that standardise banking procedures for payments by way of documentary credits (DC). These principles do not apply automatically, but are in play once traders choose to pay by letter of credit and to incorporate the UCP as part of their contract terms. The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP) is a set of rules governing credits drafted by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). The objective of UCP is to create a set rule that would establish uniformity in practice and to facilitate the flow of international trade and alleviate problems encountered when individual countries try and promote their own national rules on letter of credit practice. Although there have been dramatic changes in the operations of international trade since UCP was first adopted, it continues to be used by banks around the world because it has moved with and reflects those changes. The amendments made to UCP in its various revisions have addressed problems arising from the existing version of UCP and the interests and developments, which are seen as being relevant in the future. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The Special Theory of Relativity, which was developed by Albert Einstein, provided the unique concept that ¿Every reference-body (co-ordinate system) has its own particular time¿ as his own words. This concept is widely accepted, not only among scientists, but also the general public, with a popular interpretation of this theory being that the ticking pace of a clock in a moving system is slower than that of the one in a reference stationary system. However, on thorough consideration, we can find several issues related to the development of Einstein¿s concept of time, which implies that the above-mentioned interpretation cannot hold true. This book presents a detailed explanation of the issues using mathematical knowledge provided in junior high school or the upper grade of elementary school, as well as using formal logic applied sometimes by kindergarten children. Therefore, even the common men will understand the issues in the development of Einstein¿s concept of time if the readers forgo the preconception that Einstein is irrefutably right.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The global financial crisis and food scarcity have tinted together the brittleness of capitalism. Today, as the effect from the credit crunch and the larger economic crunches linger, it is widely believed that demands for alternative choices will automatically grow. Therefore, this book seeks to scrutinise the cause(s) of the contemporary financial crisis and assess the notions that drive to the very core of capitalism, that may have the potential to cause such crisis. It shall also assess several issues that have also backed to the economic disaster. The Islamic interpretation of such factors will be offered to show how an Islamic economic and banking system might help the stability that the world desires seriously. We have already heard some commentators predicting that the Islamic finance and banking industry should have a cure and this fastest-developing industry can drive onward to resolve the credit crunch. While the fairly small extent of Islamic banking and financial industry might make this seems impractical at this instant, but there does exist an extraordinary prospect the Islamic economic system to offer.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -In Manipur the provision of natural lactic acid fermentation in food processing has been adopting since ancient time in the production of Soibum, Soidon and Soijin from bamboo shoots. Soibum which is the chief among these, has been produced with the involvement of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) such as Lactobacillus brevis, L. Plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides and L. phallax etc. However, yeasts such as Saccharomyces, Tolulopsis and Pichia sps. etc. are also involved in Soibum fermentation under predominancy of LAB. The traditional commercial scale production of Soibum has been undergone adopting exudate retaining and exudate draining methods. From the present contribution it could be ascertained that Soibum fermentation caused significant increase of free amino acids, polyphenols, phosphate and phytosterols etc. along with significant decrease of phytate. Polyphenols are antioxidants claimed to be useful in prevention of cancer, coronary heart disease and diabetes etc. As potent as other solid state fermentation, Soibum fermentation increased polyphenol content by 2.43- 4.42 times during a month.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Every single society in the world is engaged in the race for economic success and social development, independently of its system of values and beliefs. Like in every competition, there are leaders; runners-up and laggards. Attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) became fashion in the world economy. Since the mid-1980, some economist and policymakers have perceived FDI is the way towards economic growth. Governments all over the world started to draw attention to FDI and to create means to attract it. Most of FDI still flows between developed countries, while the flow of FDI to developing countries rises gradually. Developing countries, mainly African countries struggle to attract certain types of FDI. There are many factors claimed to attract and deter FDI.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -With 98% of world trade being carried out by the 159 WTO members and further 24 countries negotiating to join the WTO, it is a matter of time for the remaining ¿ mostly developing ¿ countries, including Turkmenistan, to file for WTO application, especially if they want to develop competitive industries and access foreign export markets. This paper examines three conditions that can potentially have an effect on the level of WTO accession benefits in developing resource-rich countries and traces the mechanisms through which these conditions influence economic growth. The research findings suggests that countries that have achieved a greater level of industrialization by the time of WTO accession are better able to yield economic benefits from trade liberalization that the accession entails. This finding can encourage developing countries to help their industries upgrade their comparative advantage before they enter a competitive international trade environment through WTO accession.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

The women who constitute the greater percentage of the fish mongers / processors represent the first segment of the fish market chain, buying fresh fish directly from the fishermen and fishing companies. The fish is either sold fresh by the women, or processed using various methods especially smoking. The women in the fisheries value chain are often grouped into Cooperatives Societies though we have a very, very few that go solo. However, the activities of the women in the value chain has not been optimized or linked to value chain finance in Nigeria ¿ thus they are limited to various financial services being put up by the commercial banks for the Agricultural Sector in the country.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Pneumonia and malaria, the two leading causes of morbidity and mortality among Kenyans, often have overlapping clinical manifestations. Both of these diseases can be treated if diagnosed early, pneumonia with antibiotics and malaria with artemisinin- based combination therapy. However, because pneumonia presents with similar symp- toms as malaria, many people are treated inappropriately with anti-malaria drugs. This misdiagnosis is worrying because giving anti-malaria drugs to people with pneumonia delays their treatment with more appropriate drugs, increases morbidity and mortality rates due to pneumonia, and the increased risk of drug resistant malaria emerges. We develop a pneumonia-malaria model to investigate the eect of the dynamics of misdiag- nosing pneumonia as malaria. We focus on the transmission trends of the two diseases on the incidence of pneumonia misdiagnosis.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The book examines the role of CLIL within the context of the Kurdistan Educational System. It investigates CLIL implementation in Kurdistan¿s schools and its impact on the acquisition of the English language, contents of main subjects, and the whole educational system. It first reviews the existing theoretical viewpoints on CLIL and its significance in language learning through the study of content of other subjects. A framework is then developed to describe the current situation of the Kurdistan Educational System and review CLIL in a different context. Data suggests that studying the content of some of the main subjects in Kurdistan¿s schools provides more opportunity to expand intellectual horizons of students while improving their English language skills. Therefore, integrating learning language and content from early age in schools will impact the entire education and higher education systems. This is the first study to investigate the role of CLIL in the Kurdish context and further longitudinal studies are required to improve our understanding of the implications of the wider role and advantages of implementing CLIL and how to incorporate CLIL into Kurdish education policy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Literature (in)tends to add to your problems. It hosts organisms ready to dismantle the structure of meaning, or to cause disorder and malfunction in the disposition of its building blocks. The author, in due turn, supersedes the heartless critics to, either deliberately or unwittingly, heighten the respiration morbidity of central insight in its work. Paradoxically, however, the tendency to inflict injuries on the coherence of meaning structure in the text might serve as a means to the survival of artwork. That is to say, the emergence of residual in the text customizes the balance of power in favor of new developments and protects the work against decadence and dissipation. In the same way, the collected articles in this book seek to show that the creator of a literary piece, and the words thereof, are simultaneously the suppliers and destroyers of life in/of the work. This book is a collection of four articles, three of which re-view the significance of space in the works of Jhumpa Lahiri and Paul Auster from cultural and linguistic standpoints, and the last one concentrates on the concepts of ¿author and authorship¿ to question the canon and convention of authority.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The national retail chains operating in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia market adopt a market strategy that is causing a significant negative impact on both, the national brands¿ performance and the consumer purchase behavior. The strategy of these retail chains is based on two main pillars. The first pillar is the frequent and intense price discounts offered by the national brands sold in their outlets. The second pillar is the rapid expansion in introducing their private label brands across various categories, specifically the low-risk product categories. Nowadays, the retail chains are frequently and heavily promoting the national brands to attract multiple target consumer segments, to generate sales value, sales volume, and to boost the traffic for their outlets. Consequently, the retail chains' negotiation power over the manufacturers has tremendously grown. Therefore, the surge of the private label brands and the heavily discounted national brands necessitate a new strategy paradigm for the manufacturers to counter-attack this threat, especially that numerous national brands are, nowadays, losing their loyal consumer base because they became deal-prone consumers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book uses a neuromarketing perspective to examine STP and 4P strategies. In neuromarketing parlance, ¿market¿ means providing products and services by way of brain activation and triggering consumer satisfaction. Consumer purchasing decisions are largely controlled by the brain, and often the subconscious has a greater influence over purchase choices than the conscious mind. In order to manage marketing strategies more efficiently, marketers seek to better understand how brain activation relates to purchasing behavior. Accordingly, companies in a variety of industries are working on promoting product sales by exploring clues through investigating brain functions. This book focuses on basic neuromarketing theory, and includes case studies of breakthroughs in hit product development.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -In this document an attempt is made to explain the origin of gravity. The basis for the analysis is a merger of Quantum theory and Relativity. Nowhere in the analysis there is any need to deviate from well proven and successful concepts of both theories and rules of calculation, and no exotic new particles will have to be introduced. By doing so it is demonstrated that, next to its local interactions of a multi-particle system, the Schrödinger equation leads to pairs of two and only two members. This solution is used as the invariant term in the quantized Einstein energy equation which finally leads to gravitational interactions between members of the pairs. With this particular solution for the quantum-mechanical wave function it is found that gravity is a second order effect operating over a long range. In this document it is tried to give a complete and consistent account of all steps that have been taken in de derivation of the classical Newton¿s law. Further the document emphasizes precise justification of some of the basic assumptions made and how it works out on a cosmological scale.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The production of small ruminants is typically an activity of smallholder farmers, thus, not requiring high investments in zoo-technical management. The potential of meat from autochthone goats in promoting the socio-economic development of developing countries has been acknowledged, and the growing popularity of goat meat globally will add value to this potential. The full exploration of the potential of goat meat, however, will require a system of quality assurance or its grading. Since the nutritive value and palatability of goat meat are widely appreciated, standards for meat and products lay down under food safety and standard regulations, including microbiological and chemical requirements. This handbook provides background information that can assist in the development of meat goat product standards, and provides some elements of standards and specificities for rearing indigenous goats, methods of obtaining meat, and for carcass evaluation and grading for goat meat quality in order to meet the meat quality characteristics demanded by consumers. Product standards can also assist producers, processors, and retail segments in making informed management and marketing decisions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.
