Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -In relationship between intellectual property rights and competition law the issue has always been whether they are fundamentally in conflict or they are means to the same end. After many opposing views it is now considered to be generally accepted that they both ultimately pursue the promotion of consumer welfare. The abuse of dominant position as defined in Article 102 of TFEU has several conflicting points with the traditional understanding of intellectual property. The Commission and the ECJ, through their case-law attempted to balance the conflicting claims of the statutory monopoly granted under IP law with competition law concerns about the exclusionary effects of the IP monopoly. Dusko Martic attempts to put a clearer perspective on the issues that implicate very essence of competition law and IPRs. 92 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This project was created to chronicle one community's effort to stem the tide of alcohol abuse and address issues of trauma that had plagued the community many years despite services. It is the story of a group of people who came together despite differences to form a team of service providers that would begin a journey of healing for themselves and the community. The results are slowly coming to fruition, but indicate less drinking, less tolerance for abusiveness, and a healthier lifestyle. Although the journey is not ended there are many more indications to show that the community is taking responsibility for their problems. The team members have also chosen a healthier lifestyle maintaining sobriety, eating healthier, and exercising regularly.…

It sounds puzzling, yet requires exceptional attention. This era of globalization has come with all its packages of the good and the terrible effects. In one sense, it is a time born phenomenon and so a society may have little power to stop its expansion. In the other sense, it would appear that a society has faced the maximum challenges to preserve and circulate its own indigenous socio-cultural values, norms, stories, practices and life philosophies. Of all, the basic questions should be: how to maintain indignity and originality of diverse values and thinking What is the benefit of listening to peoples life stories and philosophies How do people construct their own realities and identities How do they communicate them Are there things that modern society could learn from the past stories and beliefs These and other questions could get answers if we pay attention to folklore and its channels. You see, that is why you need to give special credit to folklore and its contents! It means,NEVER MISS such materials that enable you to see a society through the insiders eyes. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Gender inequality remains the greatest challenge for many societies and this has implications for the sustainable development and well-being of societies. There exists gender inequalities with regards to access to resources such as land, healthcare, credit, information, education and decision-making power between races and between the sexes. The advent of democracy brought freedom for all South Africans and the new government understood gender inequality as a deterrent to the achievement of sustainable development for all and the building of a democratic state. The National Policy Framework for Women s Empowerment and Gender Equality provides a roadmap through which gender should be mainstreamed within government and elsewhere, towards achieving the goal of gender equality. This analysis specifically looked at the conceptualization, management and structures in place for gender mainstreaming. The findings indicate that the implementation of gender mainstreaming is varied in the Department, with considerable success towards the attainment of employment equity target of 50/50 women representation in senior management. 92 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book focuses on international banking regulation, particularly the capital adequacy requirements known as the Basel Accords. In the first part, we study the rationale for regulating the banks and describe the evolution of the Basel Accords, including the newly presented measures known as Basel III. The main conclusion of this part is that the regulation is heavily shaped by the banks themselves and does not always serve the best for protecting the financial system. In the second part dedicated to systemic risk modelling, we first introduce the used methodology and then build an agent-based model which enables us to simulate the impacts of various types of negative shocks given various settings of the banking system and the regulatory environment, including the capital and liquidity measures. Our simulations show firstly that sufficient capital buffers are crucial for systemic stability, secondly that the discretionary measures have little effect once a crisis breaks out and thirdly that liquidity measures are a relevant regulatory tool. 88 pp. Englisch.…

As a starting point every school should have a strategic plan in place, followed by effective implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. 56 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Private remittance inflows to developing countries including the East African region have increased tremendously, a development attributed to increasing number of migrants and their subsequent integration into the economies of developed countries. The significant amount of these financial transfers has attracted debates among both policy makers and researchers. Particularly, there are two issues of concerns namely: knowing their macro-economic effects in recipient economies and how to harness their development potential. In this book, a prais-winsten regression, Correlated Panels Corrected Standard Errors with panel specific, AR(1) model is used on time series to test for the impact of remittance receipts on domestic economies. The results revealed that migrant remittance decisions are dominated by investment motives rather than mere altruism and that these remittances contribute capital for economic development. The analysis used in the book enables the reader to understand the application of fixed effects models for control of underlying country specific effects in the estimation of coefficients using panel data. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Every year, thousands of Senegalese migrants try to enter Europe, and especially France. Europe is tightening its border controls, but attracted by better living conditions and more job opportunities, migrants are willing to take the risk to migrate, sometimes at the cost of their life. Indeed, many of them choose to contact traffickers and travel across Africa and reach Europe by boat, but many lose their lives on the way. Furthermore, once in France, some of them become the preys of the traffickers and have to work for them to pay their debt. Moreover, many migrants have to live in illegality in France while trying to send remittances to their family back home, what makes their situation even more complex. However, even for legal migrants, the integration can be difficult as they sometimes have difficulties to find a job that corresponds to their qualifications and are sometimes discriminated and have unequal quality of life, what in the past years led to several strikes of workers and riots in the banlieues. Controlling migration between Senegal and France is a challenge that both countries have to face through a better cooperation and development. 96 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The great legal cultures were built up around some general idea of what law should be like. For the Romans, Positive Law did not consist primarily in an arbitrary act of imposition of rules of conduct, but in a set of rules deriving from the very nature of social relations. For this reason the jurist Gaius (2nd century AD) could say that the first source of law is not statute but nature. Legal science itself is not knowledge of laws, but of things, i.e., of right things (iusti atque iniusti scientia), that is to say of the normality of social relations. Cicero in De Officiis explains the fundamental legal categories (such as labour, property, self-defence and family) by making reference to basic inclinations of human nature like self-preservation and procreation. Reason itself is an inclination that induces human being to associate with his fellows, giving rise to the political community and its fundamental institutions. In the Middle Ages, Natural Law operated within canon law, as has been demonstrated by Harold Berman (1983) and Brian Tierney (1997) the importance of intention, consensus and individual will in contract law, marriage law etc. This is affirmation of natural rights. 80 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Common application fields for directional and horizontal drilling are in offshore and onshore when there is no way of drilling vertical wells. During directional and horizontal well drilling, many additional challenges occur when compared with vertical well drilling, such as limited weight on bit, harder hole cleaning, trajectory control, etc. This makes even harder to select the proper drilling parameters for increasing the rate of penetration. This study aims to propose a rate of penetration model considering many drilling parameters and conditions. The proposed model is a modified Bourgoyne & Young s model which considers formation compaction, formation pressure, equivalent circulating density, and effective weight on bit, rotation of the bit, bit wear, hole cleaning, inclination, fluid loss properties and bit hydraulics. Also, a bit wear model is developed for roller cones and PDCs. The model performance is tested using field data obtained from several directional and horizontal offshore wells drilled at Persian Gulf. It is observed that the model can estimate rate of penetration with an error of ±25 % when compared with the field data. 108 pp. Englisch.…
