Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ivan Spassov is one of the premiere Bulgarian composers and conductors of the 20th century. He systematically integrates elements of the rich Bulgarian folklore into his music. His style also exhibits influences from the contemporary Western European compositional tradition. The mastery of his craft shines in the use of aleatoric technique, cluster harmonies, and polyphonic elements, uniquely combined with the rhythmic, melodic, and modal intricacies of the Bulgarian folklore. This book examines Spassov s songs for women s choir, in the Bucolics From The Pirin Region collection, and how they relate to their original folk versions. Areas of study include a brief examination of Bulgarian musical folklore in relation to the uniqueness and inter-regional influences of the rhythm, meter, mode, melody and text, and an analysis of the musical scores. This analysis should provide evidence that Bucolics From The Pirin Region are examples of late-twentieth-century musical art that remain typically Bulgarian and preserve the individuality of the traditional folklore, and should be particularly useful to conductors, music educators and anyone else interested in multicultural choral music. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In Bangladesh institutional response to crime against humanity of 1971 has been limited to maximalist and minimalist approach through tribunal and amnesty. Legalism and realism has dominated the debate around institutional response. Seemingly the government is unable to ensure retributive justice for all the crimes committed in 1971 and this creates scope to rethink if restorative justice can be applied for the major crimes remaining unaddressed under retributive mechanism. Maximalist approach through trial had been problematic as the post war initiative stalled for political constraints whereas restorative mechanism has inherent challenges in the context of Bangladesh. Minimalist approach was not free from criticism as perpetrators were benefited through that. Role of international organizations and other state actors was not sufficient to initiate redress to the crime as most of those actors only responded when the government reinitiated the justice process in 2009. Social organizations and social movement played effective role to mainstream the issue of justice in national policy and social response to crime against humanity has emerged as subsidiary to institutional response. 64 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Real estate lending has reached unprecedented levels in Brazil, in part due to the country s stability-oriented economic policies adopted over the past decade. Mortgages are growing at a faster pace than savings accounts, their main funding source, which many believe will prompt banks to start packaging more home loans to make room on their balance sheets for other assets. For securitization to efficiently finance the real estate market, three factors must be present: a favorable macroeconomic environment; a comprehensive and effective legal and regulatory framework; and a broad market with investor appetite for different types of investments. This book provides a detailed analysis of the historical factors and macroeconomic conditions that led to this relatively new and exciting economic environment and shows that the high interest rates that have haunted the economy for decades, combined with other technical and structural hurdles, jeopardize the future of securitization transactions in the Brazilian market. Especially useful to professionals in the fields of Real Estate Credit & Finance, this is essential reading for anyone interested in doing business in this intricate market. 64 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Fiscal decentralization has formed an important component of recent institutional innovation, being widely adopted in many countries. But, in the empirical literature, there is little agreement in its effect on a number of policy goals. Accordingly, this study aims at evaluating the effects of fiscal decentralization on social services access in Ethiopia, which undertook a massive shift of fiscal resources to regions in 1994 and to districts in 2002. The results suggest that although the decentralization has been characterized by some kind of vertical and horizontal fiscal imbalances, it has had significant effects on primary gross enrollment rate, childhood immunization and infant mortality rate. Moreover, the policy has achieved a satisfactory equity in terms of both equality of opportunity and inter-regional equity by reducing disparity in access to social services between previously underserved and better-off regions, suggesting that fiscal decentralization has been a pro-poor policy. Thus, the study urges policy makers and development agencies to close the existing fiscal gaps, possibly via fiscal equalization approach, for better social service access at the grassroots level 96 pp. Englisch.…
