Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - For a few decades, tattooing has been an unprecedented craze in the West. In the past, only sailors and some marginal populations had recourse to it. This is no longer the case.In Japan, it is a thousand-year-old art that has taken on very diverse meanings over the centuries, but it is considered to be the prerogative of the yakuzas. As a mark of identity, the tattoo seals a tacit pact between the novice and the organization, which chooses its tattoos.The anti-gang laws of 1992 put an end to the influence of the yakuzas on the Japanese society and, under penalty of fine, it is forbidden to display tattoos. Also, the members of the organization are careful not to show them in public.David Cardoso is a member of the yakuza tattooists' brotherhood. He reveals the practices in force within this universe which remains impenetrable to any Westerner, where tattooists and yakuza share the same codes.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This paper reports on the knowledge gained from the implementation of the operation to identify and care for the indigent in the Boucle du Mouhoun region. This experience has a twofold perspective: First, how to make available a simple method based on a community approach to identify the poorest in the community Secondly, how to facilitate their access to social health care in basic health services through the definition of a free care basket This strategy is innovative and involves several steps which are outlined in this book. It is a departure from top-down policies and strategies, which are often weak in their effectiveness and uncertain in their sustainability. The community that refers to you people they feel are most in need of assistance for social and health care is the best entry point for building a sustainable foundation of shared trust and balanced power relations. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This document informs on the knowledge learned during the implementation of the mutual health insurance extension project in the Boucle du Mouhoun region of Burkina Faso. Community-based mutual health insurance is a reliable alternative in our countries with limited resources to help break the financial barrier to health care. This experience, which was capitalized on in this health region, clearly shows the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing community-based mutual health insurance in our country. Above all, this experience presents the levers for sustaining the achievements and the mechanisms for scaling up. The development of community-based mutual health insurance by the NGO ASMADE according to the approach of 'one commune, one mutual,' 'one region, one union,' effectively constitutes a gateway for developing and stimulating other approaches to access to health care for the population towards universal health coverage. It is now time for health policies aimed at fee-for-service exemptions to be supported and linked intelligently with this community model. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Contrary to what we might think, the 1905 law maintained some privileges in favor of the clergy: for example, the front line was reserved for those under 30 years of age, men between 30 and 40 years of age were assigned as stretcher bearers, ambulance drivers and nurses close to the lines, and those between 40 and 45 years of age had to help care for the wounded in hospitals. These advantages disappeared and equality between all Frenchmen was ensured by a parliamentary amendment called Sixte QUENIN (January 31, 1917). The clergy of the dioceses of SAVOIE naturally respected this legislation and, as early as 1914, many priests, seminarians, teachers and religious went to the combat zones, whether they had been called up or had volunteered. All of them were of exemplary courage and self-sacrifice; some were true heroes and officially recognized as such. Always patriotic and combative, the members of the Savoyard clergy did not lose their faith nor their priestly vocation, they knew how to help and comfort those who were in pain; to pray and to celebrate services. In the words of Monseigneur de BAZELAIRE de RUPIERRE, they were 'priests first'. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book analyses the governance of public finance management reforms in a context of fragility. It is informed by the author's experience in the field, where he has worked for several years in the engineering of public finance management reforms, including diagnosis, design, implementation, evaluation, technical assistance and international comparisons. It describes the different manifestations of fragilities that can impact the reform environment, disrupt its trajectory and reflect on the set objectives and expected results. It proposes a project management approach for conducting public finance management reforms, distinguishing between project ownership and implementation, and identifying all the other actors with their respective roles as well as the spaces for dialogue for the successful construction of the reform. It makes a clear distinction between reforms that are urgent and those that must stand the test of time, by putting into perspective the diagnostic tools that enable a good reform strategy to be built. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The exercise of this book consists in presenting the tourist assets that would allow the Democratic Republic of Congo to diversify its economy, which is dominated by the mining industry. The aim is to demonstrate that tourism is a major asset for economic growth. This option requires a strong political will which must be manifested through legislative, administrative and financial reforms. These reforms must put in place an attractive reception framework for investments as well as for visitors from within and outside the country. It is necessary to mobilise substantial investments for the construction and rehabilitation of infrastructures and access roads to tourist sites. Such investments are heavy and inevitably require a public-private partnership. This book has been written to serve as a reference for political and economic decision-makers in the sector, as well as for teachers in tourism schools. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The work presented in this book deals with the physico-chemical and thermo-mechanical aspects accompanying the reactions involved in the preparation of activated carbon from lignin by the physical method. Although the physical method only involves carbonisation and gasification, oxidation of lignin carbonisates at low temperatures has been shown to be useful prior to gasification due to the formation of a plastic phase by cracking during the carbonisation of lignin. This phase is revealed by an increase in the volume of the material and by microscopic characterisation. The development of the plastic phase slows down the decomposition of the material and gives the carbonisate a high thermal stability. The latter is reduced by treating the carbonisation residue, before gasification, in air at moderate temperatures. The operating conditions are chosen to oxidise the material without destructuring it. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study on delusions in psychiatric consultations in Niamey, which brought out their characteristics. These delusions often concerned young, married subjects of both sexes. The thematic content of delusions of persecution conveyed by hallucinatory and interpretative mechanisms was omnipresent. Persecution seems to deeply color the psychology and psychopathology of the Nigerian. In other cases, the concept of persecution borrowed the language of ideas of grandeur. The majority of the delusions had the appearance of an acute delirious breath and the first psychiatric consultation was requested only after 42 days on average. The therapeutic approach of the Nigerian follows an itinerary that leads him first to the traditional healer. Psychiatry often recovers the patient only when the traditional healers have finally given up. 72 pp. Englisch.

Although benign and extracerebral, this tumor remains a serious pathology because of the frequent visual, endocrine and neuro-intellectual sequelae and the risk of recurrence. However, great progress has been made in surgery, radiotherapy and medical management of this disease, transforming a previously reserved prognosis. 56 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Our study was an opportunity to assess the practices and mechanisms in place to promote rational use of medicines in peripheral health facilities. The level of awareness of prescribers on rational use remains limited. Indeed, the results reveal that the majority of them have a vague knowledge of the concept of rational prescribing and of the tools to support rational use (EML, therapeutic formulary). Furthermore, although they are all aware of STPs, some of their criticisms of the EML indicate a lack of training, information and awareness of the concept of essential generic medicines. However, some in-service training has been implemented since 2010 with the support of the WHO. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The greatest originality of this book is based on the effort of contractualisation made by the author both in terms of production tools and analysis of field data, without forgetting an epistemological and edifying contribution. This book addresses on the theoretical level, the subject under review is undoubtedly of great interest to the Congolese people; it touches the crisis that the country has gone through during the past legislature (2006-2011), and the post-electoral crisis of the elections of November 28, 2011, organized in a very particular context and surrounded by several concerns. Given that the functioning of institutions is of considerable importance, it is appropriate to dissect the rules of the political game that influence the conflicts of legitimacy in our country and for which the Congolese people have suffered so much. From a scientific point of view, it was our concern to understand the primary will of the constituent in the way the institutions of the Democratic Republic of Congo-Kinshasa should function, as established by the constitution of 18 February 2006. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The school is the place par excellence in which a culture is transmitted and even transformed; this institution appears as the ideological vehicle of a system that often manifests itself in the form of a society. The school also represents the place where new functions and statuses are transmitted to the younger generations, thus favouring the emergence of new social classes. The school as an essential link in the socio-educational system is thus a craftsman of social integration of a country. School and society are therefore closely related. A school has no chance of success unless society itself supports it in its evolution towards a learning, creative, value-driven society. Burkina Faso's primary school has undergone profound changes since the very first school was established in 1898 in Bobo Dioulasso. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Russian legal acts do not apply the concept of a cottage settlement. Therefore the articles use the term housing and land complex to refer to it. The current legislation of the Russian Federation does not establish the legal status of complexes of individual residential houses and land plots with common infrastructure, does not regulate the composition and the legal regime of common-use property in these complexes.One of the author's tasks was to study the legal forms in force today in housing and land complexes, as well as legal forms not reasonably discarded and previously in force in the Russian Federation, such as condominiums, which can help to determine the legal status of such complexes. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the framework of the GP, the human dignity of women is emphasised, certainly in all aspects of life. It is further emphasised when abortion, which is produced and carried out in dangerous conditions, is presented as a major public health problem. Thus, the state must reduce infant mortality as much as possible so that the number of actual births can correspond roughly to the number of desired births. It would then be the state's obligation to explain and facilitate the use of contraceptives in order to avoid the inconvenience of exploitation by unscrupulous charlatans and fetishists. Therefore, it seems obvious that intervening in the field of medical abortion, as foreseen by the PM's legislator, is an opportunity for the Congolese legislator to act in the best interest of the child and to assist the lives of these women victims, who not only bear unwanted children, but even more seriously, when the acts that generate these pregnancies prevent their victims from having a better future, and infringe on their honour, their dignity and even their right to life. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For the past twenty years, the fight against poverty and inequality has been at the heart of development policies in sub-Saharan African countries. The effectiveness of these policies must be based on reliable information in order to facilitate the development of relevant strategies and action plans to improve the living conditions of the populations, especially the most disadvantaged. Despite the considerable progress made in understanding the manifestations of poverty and inequality as a result of the use of this information, there is still little use of micro-simulation tools in the analysis of poverty and inequality in Africa. The author of the book proposes a tool to simulate annually the effects of GDP growth, inflation, growth in agriculture and services, urbanization and population growth on poverty levels and inequality. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Wastewater and agriculture: The objective of this research is to analyze the management of wastewater and to propose options for improving its use in horticultural production systems in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Surveys and physico-chemical analyses of soils and wastewater were conducted at eight sites. The study shows that most of the farmers are men and young people (about 75%) who use wastewater for their activities. These farmers are mostly illiterate and are not aware of the risks associated with the use of wastewater. All of them only see the immediate effects on horticultural production and the immediate impacts on their income. Physico-chemical analyses show that the use of these waters increases the organic matter and phosphorus content from 209.9 to 741.7 mg/ kg, potassium from 651.7 to 1228 mg/ kg and heavy metals in the soil, which can have consequences for both the environment and health. Optional choices in urban areas require further research and awareness raising among operators and municipal authorities. 60 pp. Englisch.

It mobilizes theories, concepts and managerial implications to understand crisis management in professional sports clubs in Lebanon. Our study is structured around three main components: the structure of sports in Lebanon, the difficulties faced by Lebanese professional sports clubs, and the inefficiency of crisis management by these clubs. Although they are an essential actor of the sport, the professional sports clubs in Lebanon do not seem to be able to properly assume their responsibilities in a Lebanese context parasitized on all levels. They are weakened by the crises that hit the country, but also by an impotent internal organization. This research mobilizes the example of three Lebanese professional sports clubs to identify the factors negatively influencing their performance, and to highlight the need for an adequate operational strategy. The study concludes with a synthesis of the main weaknesses of sports in Lebanon and proposes ways to improve them. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book covers the history of the Middle East from the creation of its Arab states to the present day. Beyond a history of events, it aims to show that the instability and violence that it continues to experience are as much due to the interference of great powers as to internal factors: failures and divisions of its authoritarian regimes, religious and ethnic heterogeneity of most countries in the region, the rise of radical Islamism. Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, no region has been the scene of so many crises and wars: American invasion of Iraq, chaos caused by NATO's military intervention in Libya, wars in Yemen and Syria involving regional and international powers, Israeli occupation and colonization of the West Bank, resurgence of antagonism between Sunnis and Shiites, emergence of terrorist organizations representing a threat extending beyond the region, influx of migrants into Europe, Iran's hegemonic ambitions, authoritarian drift in Turkey. In the context of a recomposition of alliances and the regional balance of power, the conclusion asks about its future, which does not encourage optimism. 304 pp. Englisch.

From the point of view of Haitian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), public procurement is synonymous with complexity and obstacles. Economic operators face numerous technical and financial difficulties. In addition to the proliferation of constraints imposed by the contracting administrations, the tender documents contain tedious texts that discourage SMEs from participating in the calls for competition launched by the public authorities. Indeed, apart from the key measures such as the allotment obligation and national preference, the willingness of contracting authorities to facilitate SMEs' access to public contracts is an important factor in really encouraging them to participate in calls for tender. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book addresses the challenges of implementing Resolution 1325 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In its four pillars: prevention, participation, protection, and relief and recovery efforts, 1325 offers a broad scope for study and research. Regardless of which pillar is studied or researched, it is apparent that 1325 has made significant inroads in its implementation while at the same time major challenges remain. The author focused on the participation pillar by going beyond the strict framework of conflict to study the challenges related to women's participation in decision-making bodies in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Conducted in 2009 as part of a symposium organized by the Gender in Action Network on the theme of 'Gender and Governance' in its political participation component, the study noted the contribution of the 1325 and analyzed the challenges to be overcome in a country where women's representation in decision-making bodies is still low. Hence the plea for a massive political involvement of women among the possible solutions. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -During the last decade, it has been observed that most of the large coastal cities in the Gulf of Guinea, in this case Douala, have a quasi-annual periodicity of flooding. Consequently, a haphazard management of the development of the cities could prove fatal. Based on this observation, this study, which focuses on coastal risk management, aims to contribute to a better adaptation of urbanization. Thus, the oceanic modelling approach used in this study provides a more global coverage of the area, as well as a parameterisation of the environmental conditions. To this end, the SYMPHONIE coastal circulation model is validated on the basis of in situ and altimetric observations. In addition, the study of the tide, the sensitivity to forcings and the water levels were addressed. To do this, several simulations were carried out. This study shows an interesting approach for flood risk management. This approach aims at quantifying the contribution of each forcing, which is essential for a better predictive management. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In Côte d'Ivoire, the armed conflict of 2002 had many consequences, both human and material, in the Central North West (CNW) areas of the country. The city of Bouaké, located in the center of the country, was the site of several clashes that led to the massive displacement of the population and the closure of many services, including the university. This study aims to understand, through qualitative research, the mechanisms developed to maintain the teaching and even the functioning of the structure during this socio-political crisis. The survey consisted of 72 individual interviews with internal and external actors of the institution and 04 focus groups with students. The results show that the relocation of the university to Abidjan was the main strategy. Also, the forms of collective mobilization, through the relocation committee, made it possible to obtain premises, reconstitute the archives and obtain the support of certain partners. Key words: armed conflict, maintenance strategy, higher education, relocation, functioning, socio-political crisis, university, change. 72 pp. Englisch.
