Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The pages of this book bring alive to the reader how the continent of Africa has been ripped apart over the past 100 years by ethnic violence due to the politicization of ethnicity and ethnic group dominance over the individual. The author, drawing on the thoughts of Danish philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard, proposes a path toward a peaceful solution through the process of education, where individuals can rise above blind loyalties to the faceless group and begin to take responsibility within and for their communities. This work demonstrates how a practical and achievable solution to societal ills can arise out of a sound philosophical framework.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The one who separates from his membranes by fine learning, and breaking their selfish intentions will separate itself from different mistakes, of mistaking, wrongdoing, and will have insight to how the Earth and the Sky have disassembled, each performing its role, at the same time converging towards Being such as a pupil of the eye approaches whites. Only two tiny eyelids are sufficient to cover the widest horizon we look at in the summer evenings when it seems we see the furthest. Even if the whole world fits in our pupils, in the pupil of the eyes, just two tiny skin eyelids could cover it and we see nothing but the darkness until we raise them again. Such a simple but such a miraculous lesion is given by this example.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Social Management is an original Brazilian concept that, among other aspirations, aims to broaden the participation and popular engagement in the decisions that influence the lives of everybody. This field of knowledge envisages building a new public sphere that aims to bring people and politics together in a way that they can debate and generate collective decisions about the needs and future of the community. Iceland's popular constitution is an innovative process that brings new possibilities for the development of democracy. The Icelandic government recently, between 2009 and 2013, led the process of creating the first crowd-sourced constitution of the world. Historically, the process of drafting a constitution never included direct popular participation. This work aims to strengthen this perspective from the practical experience of the process of drafting the Constitution of Iceland. The analysis of this process enables the approximation between Social Management and Icelandic Crowdsourced Constitution process and as well to present Social Management as an alternative capable of ensuring participation and emancipation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Functionally-graded materials (FGM), are those materials in which some specific physical properties change gradually with respect to material dimensions. FGM have recently been widely used. Between the different types of FGM, this book is interested in studying the stress analysis of the Chemical Composition Gradient FGM, in which structure composed of two dissimilar material constituents that are gradually changing from one side to the other side. This change is considered herein to vary according to an exponential function. the aim of this book is to derive mathematical formulas that can be used to determine the mechanical and thermal stresses induced in an FGM cylindrical vessel for which the material properties vary according to an exponential function and subjected to mechanical and thermal loads. This solution is achieved with the help of the world's leading computational software package ¿Mathematicä and as a verification step a thermo-mechanical coupled FE model is constructed and solved with the help of the global leader software in engineering simulation ¿Ansys¿.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Burns appeared when humans contacted with and knew how to use fire. Initially burns are caused by dry heat when exposing fire. Burns caused by wet heat occurred when people knew cooking. These are two major types of burns from the past to the present. Burn injury is often seen in labor, manufacturing as well as in daily life and is one of the public health problem worldwide that must be paid attention to due to the burden of diseases, injuries after burn affecting the quality of patient¿s life. It is estimated that every year about 300,000 people die from firerelated burns worldwide, of which about 30% are those under 20 years old. Global Burden of Disease project by the World Health Organization showed that burn is an important factor contributing to the total number of casualties due to illness among children in countries with low and moderate income in the regions of Africa, Southeast Asia and the eastern mediterranean.However, studies of burns in mountainous areas are very limited and do not mention completely and systematically. Meanwhile, the demand for the topical treatment of these patients is becoming an urgent need.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The present pages are the expression of author's revolt against the widespread upsurge of non-humanism or anti-humanism in our time. At the same time, they signal his dissatisfaction with a traditional conception where ¿humanism¿ is treated as an existing property or privilege, basically the privilege of a dominant elite or ruling class of the people. In opposition to this proprietary and empiricist legacy, these pages vindicate and retrieve the notion of humanism as a challenge or open-ended search, a challenge which opens up fixed self-conceptions to novel dimension of meaning, especially dimensions of ¿otherness. ¿ Under the title ¿Who Are We Now ¿, the first paper traces the emergence of this new conception against the backdrop of more traditional formulas. The second paper explores the connection of humanism with the academic pursuit of the ¿humanities¿ or liberal arts. Stressing the open-ended character of the new humanism, the third chapter raises the question of its relation to the dawning of a ¿post-secular¿ epoch. Returning to the ¿zetetic¿ character of the topic, the final paper explores what is involved in ¿Learning to be Human.¿Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Christian ethics is an important matter both in terms of thought and practice. Current academic moves and denominational Christian contributions have brought conflict resulting into the question of whether the Bible is the ultimate guideline to labour ethics or the church tradition. This book argues that, because Christian work ethics is based on God¿s work ethics, Christians must be committed to some authority of the Bible for doing any work. At the starting point, the authors have traced the origin of work to God himself. Then the examples of how the Christians have gone ahead to do their work following the standards set by God is stated. This can even be seen in traditional attitudes to work before the spread of the Christian religion to other parts of the world including the Tiv of central Nigeria. The argument here is that, the Christian work ethics only found a substratum on which it grew. All these have led to the moral sensitiveness of Christian unity based on Godly principles on the divine nature of work. This book is therefore a must read by all and sundry so that we can salvage the negative human conscience that is destroying the world, work and its ethics.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The present work deals with determiners in Siin Seereer, a language belonging to the West Atlantic branch of the Niger- Congo family. More specific research questions concern the uses, the places and functioning of this language¿s determiners. Thus, there are several determiners known as class markers in this language and their uses and meaning depend on what the speaker wants to express or on their positions towards the noun. However, some of these operators can be placed after or before the noun they determine. But the meaning they have when they are placed before the noun is different from the one they have when they are used after the noun.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The mystery of great Italian violins built in Cremona between 1620-1780 became a general question a long time ago. Many authors have written books and articles about the life and activity of Amati, Guarneri and Stradivari, about the unequalled violins until present time, violins that reach very high prices. The quality of wood, as much as the precise dimensions used by the Italian masters are known and have been reproduced in the last 250 years. One single thing has remained unknown, the prescription of the varnish, which has been maintained carefully, then gone with the death of the last Luther. The purpose of this book is trying to solve an ¿enigmä, both cultural and scientific, which has been investigated for over 250 years. Until present time, no one succeeded to show luthiers a procedure of how to build a violin with a sound spectrum almost similar to the sound spectrum of the human voice, for a prolonged time interval. In this book, we show a solution to this by indicating the use of the primer and we provide a series of experimental results that prove the validity of our research.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 124 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Continuum Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics are two basic theories of matter and fields. Depending on our objective and the scale of research, either of these theories is at work in one way or another. This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and first year graduate students in mechanical, aeronautical and structural engineering and possibly for applied mathematics. In this book the principal objective has been to expose the mathematical framework as in a detailed form as possible for the benefit of students as to encourage and acquaint them with the wide range of fascinating aspects of modern continuum mechanics. The style and policy of teaching in the book is in a form as is delivered in the classroom for the purpose of clarifying in the simplest possible way the points where mathematical difficulties (not taught in undergraduate courses), arise. This volume contains balance laws of deformation, stress, and thermomechanical behavior for fluids and solids along with a general constitutive framework. Volume 2 contains more in constitutive equations and field equations for the application to boundary-initial-value problems for fluids and solids.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Weed control is an essential part of all crop production systems. Critical period of crop-weed competition in clusterbean is about 20 to 30 DAS, during this period, weeds reduce yield by competing with crops for water, nutrients, and sunlight. Season long competition with weeds in clusterbean causes severe yield reduction ranging from 29-48 per cent and severity may even be higher (70-98%) depending on the weed infestation. In the last four decades, considerable developments have been taken place in chemical weed control (herbicides), thereby increasing the crop returns by reducing the cost of production. Therefore, this book designed to study the effect of different post emergence herbicides in clusterbean. 176 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The monograph deals with a study of the rules of communication in the institutional type of discourse and linguistic and pragmatic features of speech behavior in the triad 'prosecution - judge - defense'. This topic is very relevant on the basis that judicial discourse is a complex phenomenon with a large number of participants who perform the functions prescribed by the institutional rules and realize different facets of their linguistic personality. The peculiarities of the English-speaking speech behavior of all parties in the courtroom have not previously been the subject of a separate study and may be of interest in terms of its functional characteristics.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The financial crimes have been increased during the last years. Middleton and Levi (2005) pointed out that laundering and embezzlement is a common phenomenon in the field of accounting and law resulting in the development of forensic accountancy. During the last 50 years, corporate criminal activities and criminal enterprises have become more sophisticated, better organized, and more complex. Writing this book, author's thought in mind was firstly to determine whether forensic accounting can assist Cyprus in solving a crime, identify a framework for establishing a forensic accountancy ¿profession¿ in Cyprus, and provide recommendations to the areas in which forensic accounting could be useful. This book identifies the significance of forensic accounting as a work-placed discipline in society, suggests that forensic accountants¿ techniques are crucial for combating financial crimes and corruption and recommends the introduction of specialist forensic accountants in police departments and the Attorney General Department. Finally, any framework with strong legislation and characteristics, such as the UK¿s and Australiäs should be adopted in Cyprus.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Technical efficiency of an individual decision-making unit is defined in terms of the ratio of the observed output to the corresponding frontier output. There are two main competing paradigms for estimating the relative efficiency of individual decision making units (DMU); parametric and non-parametric. The parametric approach assumes a functional relationship between output and inputs and use statistical techniques to estimate the parameters of the function. The non-parametric approach, in contrast, contracts a linear piecewise function from empirical observations on inputs and output without assuming any a priori functional relationship between them. With non-parametric approach, data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to eastimate technical efficiency of each decision making unit. This study only examined the tools and techniques of parametric approach. The parametric approach relies on a specific functional form and it can be sub-divided into deterministic and stochastic models.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Among all the divisions, Sylhet scores the highest TFR (2.9 according to BDHS 2014) and the lowest CPR (47.8 according to BDHS 2014) which are even far more distant form the scores of other districts. And this trend seems to be unchanged in the previous BDHS reports. This study, however, devoted itself to identify the reasons of high TFR, contextual challenges and/or loopholes of different family planning programs in Sylhet through the lens of Reproductive Health and Rights and Religiosity, as Sylhet is being told to be a very conservative region, based on religiosity. This study, mainly through questionnaire survey, was conducted in a village named Kandla under Kanaighat Upazila in Sylhet. From the study, it has been found that women started receiving ANC and PNC from health professionals, the rate tends to get higher day by day but they are still reluctant to do the delivery outside home. And for this reluctance, definitely their religiosity is responsible that they take it as shame to outside in the time of delivery. Regarding family planning it can be said that people think using contraception as sin, mostly they are more rigid in case permanent methods.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Discontinuous boundary element method is applied to the solution of damage to structures. Finite volume method solves the pressure waves propagation in the air. Combination of both methods enables one a unique theoretical observation of the effect of explosion on solid structures in semi-enclosed media. Contact conditions among solid particles are discussed from both theoretical and application point of views. Two basic ideas of definitions of contact conditions are studied in details: soft contact - based on penalty formulation , and strong contact - starting by Uzawa's algorithm. Examples from the field of typical problems of underground structures exposed to explosion and subsequently suffering by damage propagation show the feasibility of the theoretical formulations and suggested solutions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -African women have always suffered a second class status in the home and in the Church. The marginalization that women faced in Judaism has also crept into Christianity. It is however complicating when the New Testament gives evidence of of texts that describe women as active participants in ministry and the same time advocate the silence of women in ministry.In the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), certain positions women aspire for are not given to them. Therefore, this book aims at examining the intention of the writer of 1 Corinthians 14:26-40 which is one of the texts used in subordinating women in the Church. This book also evaluates the implications of the text to African women in ministry in the context of the Nigerian experience, especially women in the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion). The Church will be losing a vital factor and force in Church spirituality and organizational structure without active and full involvement of women.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.
