Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The question of euthanasia has a complex evolution, generating debates in legal media. The fact that certain countries have authorized the use of such means to end someone's life has caused a dangerous void in the legal system. It consists of the danger to end the life of foreign citizens in those countries in which euthanasia is legal, although the native countries of those citizens incriminate such means. Conflicts rise, involving the law applicable in such cases. A solution to these conflicts may come from the Christian conception of life and death or, rather, the life after death.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The objective of this study is to analyze the possible consequences and regulatory challenges of the increase in off-balance sheet operations in banks and the expansion of the shadow banking system, alerting about potential implications to systemic risk. Particularities of off-balance-sheet operations are discussed, such as accounting for contingent liabilities and financial instruments and consolidated financial reporting standards. The typology of off-balance-sheet transactions, guarantees, contingent commitments, and derivative contracts, is appreciated and the economic hypotheses that would justify the expansion of these activities in the banking system. Also, in off-balance sheet operations, the leading financial risks that these activities imply for financial institutions are identified. The shadow banking system, after its delimitation, is appreciated as regards its evolution and threats to the financial system. The study concludes by proposing that the prudential regulation should be rethought, emphasizing what we learned from the crisis of 2008 and how mechanisms can be created to deal with risks associated with off-balance-sheet and shadow banking operations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -One of the most important plant disease in viticulture is gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers. Fr., the anamorph of an ascomycete fungus (Botryotinia fuckeliana Whetzel). Gray mold development on grape berries depends on the genetic structure of the pathogen population but is also driven by some key factors, including climatic conditions, cluster architecture and berry susceptibility. Numerous treatments with fungicides are required for management of the gray mold which intensifies the risk of resistance development since B.cinerea has a high risk of resistance development. The forecasting model for B. cinerea Pers. Which will be shown here is only pioneering attempt to prevent development of gray mold. The white grapevine varieties Smederevka and Zilavka was continuously observed at last three years in the two experimental fields located at Smilica and Sopot, Kavadarci, Republic of North Macedonia. The working hypothesis was to follow the development of the disease after increasing glucose over 11%, until the time of the grape harvest.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Attachment style plays an important role in everybody¿s life being present in that from the first moments. It is well known that the first interaction between the child and his mother lays the foundations of attachment. The extent to which it evolves will make the person responsible for their own actions and decisions throughout life. Emotional intelligence is also an important aspect in a person's life helping to better understand the inner world, but also the outer world. Cognitive schemas are responsible for how people build current experiences based on previous ones helping the individual to guide themselves as well as what is surrounding it. Starting from the attachment style and its importance in terms of emotional intelligence, but also cognitive schemas the current study aims to study the relationship between the three variables. The central motivation of the study is to observe how the relationship between attachment styles and emotional intelligence can be influenced by the use of dysfunctional cognitive schemas like emotional deprivation, failure, and seeking approval schemas.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Power loss is the function of power system structure, load type, generation and also different voltage levels that a system is utilized under them and there is no accurate method for determining it.Until now Most of the researches in this field are theoretical so that for determining the power loss with theoretical approach only mathematical equations can be used and in these equations inrush currents, leakage and some environmental conditions do not exist and the effect of harmonics on cables¿ impedances and conductors will be determined from theoretical point of view and so the calculations are not accurate and real.In this book in most of the calculations, impedances are presumed to be linear and so for High Voltage Power Line Loss estimations, a 14-bus IEEE neural network model is used. After estimating the loss, by the use of measurement devices on the sample lines the real power loss will be determined then the accurate estimations can be done for other lines with different environmental and technical conditions by the use of neural networks.In this book the neural networks results are compared with the theoretical results gained from mathematical models and finally.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Ornamental fish culturing technology is believed to be cash flow in Indian and other countries. Many countries were collect coral reef fish for aquariums. Likewise, Chicago opened the Shed Aquarium. A permanent marine fish collection was housed at the aquarium, making it the first such facility in the country. Seawater and fish may be transported by train from Florida to Chicago. A marine aquarium may have been developed in Europe early in the 1800s by French biologist Felix Dujardin. A new industry originated when global air freight became an alternative to international trade in the 1950s. Aquaria that house merely fish have been phased out in favor of aquariums that hold coral reefs over the past decade. The global market today has more than 50 countries exporting and importing goods.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Size: 14,479 words + an Appendix of 9,384 words.Excerpt: Mass/energy has most likely always existed, and will never end. Our universe is not unique which is why all attempts to explain how it began have failed. Our Big Bang Origin probably happened in the midst of other universes, similar to ours, which lie beyond our horizon, and provided the mass/energy for our Origin. Their gravity is the most likely source of Dark Energy. The Treatise solves the conundrums that stem from an assumed one universe origin. It was developed as a private study during the past 18 years of my retirement in Thailand.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Most recent earthquakes have shown that the irregular distribution of mass, stiffness and strengths may cause serious damage in structural systems. However an accurate evaluation of the seismic behaviour of irregular buildings is quite difficult and a complicated problem Due to the variety of parameters and the choice of possible models for torsionally unbalanced systems, there is as yet no common agreement or any accurate procedure advised by researchers on common practice in order to evaluate the torsional effects. In this book three frames were exerted which were three different shapes (symmetric, L shape and T shape) in three different heights (G+3, G+6 and G+9 story). The frames were analysed by Response Spectrum Method and then the frames were assessed by nonlinear static (pushover) analysis mainly based on FEMA 440 (2005).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The function of the insurance sector is to protect one against losses he cannot afford. This is done by transferring the risks of a person, business, or organization known as, the ¿insured¿ to an insurance company, known as the ¿insurer¿. The insurer then reimburses the insured for covered losses i.e., those losses it pays for under the terms of the policy. Every family depends on its leader every day for financial support, food, shelter, transportation, education, and much more. Spouses have plans for their future and dreams for their family: another child, a bigger home, a new business, college education, travel, retirement. Insurance is all about ensuring that one¿s family has adequate financial resources to make those plans and children (as beneficiaries) count on him, he counts on his spouse. That is why coverage for his spouse is also important. This is especially true today, with so many ¿double income families¿ in this area. As the insurance consumer, the insured pays an amount of money, called a premium, to the insurer to transfer the risk.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Child development during the early years occurs at a pace that is unsurpassed during later stages and lays the foundation for subsequent development. Given the importance of these early years, it is critical that young children be provided with the best possible start. There is ample evidence that family income is a key determinant of child health and development.Child poverty is a significant public health concern in Canada. Children¿s early experience with poverty affects their health not only when they are young, but also later in their lives as adults. Children living in low-income families or neighborhoods have worse health outcomes on average than other children on a number of key indicators, including infant mortality, low birth weight, asthma, overweight and obesity, injuries, mental health problems and lack of readiness to learn. Some groups, such as Aboriginal populations, suffer disproportionately from poverty and its consequences, such as excess infant mortality, higher risk of injuries, and higher rates of disabilities, respiratory conditions, and obesity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The scarcity of inward-looking investment funding in Africa restrains economic growth and development on the continent. This deficiency ignited a greater appetite for debt and reliance on outside funds at uncontrollable levels. The weight of this pressure from debt hinders the focus of domestic policies to solve this inequality in a speedy manner. Above all, the current monetary instability does not encourage the efficient execution of various development goals.Thus, there is an urgent need for economic interjection to apply effective and empirical mechanisms to overcome these challenges.Namibia needs a Sovereign Wealth Fund and National Empowerment Fund to claim its vantage position to execute its development strategies. The country must discover value-adding mechanisms to boost the potential of its limited resources through research and innovation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.
