Their history and traditions were transmitted orally through clearly defined channels of communication. Oral aboriginal literature is now widely accessible in printed English. In addition, new forms of literature that take advantage of the printed word have emerged among aboriginal Canadians. Fictional writing by aboriginal Canadians is a fairly recent development (1960s) and many of the themes in their writing resemble themes in early African writing. In this work we focus on how aboriginal Canadian writers portray aboriginal characters in their fiction as well as the way they define the relationship between the Aboriginal Canadians and the dominant society, keeping in mind that they have been through the colonial experience recently. 100 pp. Englisch.

The extension staff completed the BS agricultural extension degree at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. This study also assessed the perceptions of the extension staff supervisors regarding the job competence of the extension staff. Perceptions of the extension faculty regarding the SAFE program were also investigated.The study was a descriptive research. Data were collected through a survey instrument from a sample of extension staff who work in the 10 regions of Ghana. A snowball sampling technique was used to select the research sample size of 64 extension staff from the population of 208 who completed the SAFE BS extension program from 1996 to 2004. Fourteen field supervisors provided assessments for forty-two of the extension staff (1996 to 2003) graduates. The remaining twenty-two extension staff were 2004 graduates and their assessment was completed in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension, University of Cape of Coast, without their supervisors. 100 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Pecking Order Theory suggests firms initially rely on undistributed earnings, where there is no existence of information asymmetry, then debts and finally equity for any remaining capital requirements. Thus, the firm will prefer retained earnings financing to debt, short-term debt over long-term debt and debt over equity. The theory does not, however, say which of these most determines performance. The theory must therefore be subjected to empirical test to ascertain which of the three, most determine the performance of banks in Ghana. The objective of this work is to determine which of the two (Debt and Equity) better determines performance of banks in Ghana. The work reveals that both debt and equity impact significantly on banks' performance in Ghana. However equity impacts more on performance than debt. This study is useful to students of Business Administration and Economics, players in the banking industry, financial and investment analysts, stock brokers, governments, shareholders, Board of Directors, researchers and other stakeholders. 76 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The role of the larynx has often been overlooked as an important factor in vibrato production on the bassoon. In 2004, Dr. Scott Pool sought to find answers to his questions regarding vibrato production and the function of the throat. His observations revealed new revelations into how the larynx played a key role in this important element of bassoon tone and technique. By understanding how the larynx affected bassoon vibrato, Dr. Pool was able to apply new insightful information to both his own performance and teaching strategies. Both teachers and performers of the bassoon (and other wind instrument) will want to read this study, which discusses the mechanics behind the larynx and vibrato as an important element of musical artistry. 92 pp. Englisch.

(A/L) qualified students fall into the category of 'denied higher education opportunity' due to the fact that the conventional university system does not have the capacity to accommodate all who are qualified. Online learning has been viewed as a strategy to increase access to higher and continuing education accordingly. The government of Sri Lanka signed an agreement in 2003 with the Asian Development Bank and launched the Distance Education Modernisation Project (DEMP) to modernise the traditional distance education system in the country. As a result, a state-of-the- art network called the National Online Distance Education Service (NODES) has been established by the DEMP in order to facilitate the delivery of online post secondary level programmes developed by the universities and other private and public sector post-secondary educational institutions. The aim of the study was to find out the perceptions of stakeholders on effectiveness of online learning programmes of NODES in Sri Lanka. 108 pp. Englisch.

Scholars have discussed both crosslinguistic universals of structural properties and the linear order of surface constituents as possible explanations of parsing preferences. Based on data from an experimental study of Korean adults' relative-clause comprehension and on a review of previous studies with Korean children and those with adult English speakers, this book addresses the independent and interacting effects of morphosyntax and prosody on parsing, the development of the parsing mechanism, and crosslinguistic similarities and differences in parsing. As sentence processing is the meeting point of linguistic competence and performance, the discussion should prove useful to students and researchers in psychology, linguistics, and cognitive science. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work combines African philosophical discourses with perspectives on cultural performativity to explore the theme of deconstructing the native' and imagining the post-native' through theatre. The theatre part focuses on the early works of renowned South African director-playwright, Brett Bailey, and their relevance to themes of contemporary African philosophy. Using the concept of engendering space' as a point of contact between African intellectual discourse and theatre praxis, the author elucidates how Bailey's theatre engendered a physical and metaphysical space in which to deconstruct the native and imagine the post-native. It is therefore argued that Bailey's aesthetic revolution has immense ethical consequences for contemporary African society. The author imagines what these consequences are by deconstructing the cultural and moral discourse generated through critical and public responses to Bailey's works, which were as controversial as they were groundbreaking. 72 pp. Englisch.

Therefore, this article investigates such claims and attempts to provide some empirical data in this area. It also addresses the predictive validity of the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology and the issue of cultural bias. Participants included 201 APA-accredited institutions. Their respective mean scores from 1988 to 1996 were compared as well as the subpart means for Boulder versus Vail and university versus freestanding professional schools.Results showed that there were significant differences between Boulder and Vail model schools and between university and freestanding professional schools. Discussion concerning a qualitative analysis of the results is presented as the mean differences were small between groups. Limitations and future directions for research were also reviewed. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Comparing Dickens's fiction and The Simpsons as cultural artefacts reveals strikingly similar themes and concerns. Both Dickens's writings and The Simpsons, in spite of being strongly contested by politicians at their time, generated a public sphere around themselves. This book provides a nuanced take on parody as a mode of critique: Dickens's work being seen to support the status quo that it satirizes and The Simpsons been seen to depend upon the very society it attacks. The overall argument concerning these works is their relation to political authority and capitalism. This comparative analysis also shows that both artefacts undermine and reinforce the prevailing cultural hegemony. Fans of The Simpsons will find this book to be a perfect rebuttal for those who dismiss the show as a no-brainer. As well as, readers of Charles Dickens will find here, carefully and dialectically argued, a new reading of his novels. In all, this book is a benefit to anyone interested in a wittily argued comparative analysis of different media from different eras. 76 pp. Englisch.

How many other poems from Whitman that we have only before considered in terms of poetic imagery may actually have a basis in scientific reality This book analyzes the potentially deeper scientific meanings to be found in Whitman's poetry through an investigation of the language to which he most often resorted when discussing matters of science. The first chapter investigates Whitman's borrowings from one of his greatest influences and his nearest contemporary in poeticizing the scientific world, Thomas Carlyle. Chapter two examines the extent to which Whitman's novel interweaving of science and poetry form the basis for Leaves of Grass. Finally, chapter three attempts to explain some of the most elusive and mystical passages of Whitman's poetry in modern scientific terms. This books offers to anyone interested in Whitman or the natural world an illuminating insight into the relationship between art and science. 80 pp. Englisch.

Therefore the study of E-government has gained rather considerable attention. Unfortunately many of the E-government studies focused on the supply side. this study has tried to breach that gap by focusing on the demand side of the E-government. E-grievance systems is the main theme of this book because it is one of the main reasons citizens contact to their governments. in fact, more people complain or suggest improvements to their governments than telling them 'job well done'. Therefore, it is considered essential that processes of complaint redresal are clearly defined and publicly available. but little has been discussed about the development of an integrated system to handle citizen's electronic complaints( E-grievance) and its consequences which will be elaborated in this book. This book will be beneficial to public administrators, local government workers and E-government researchers. 84 pp. Englisch.

This research discusses the factors that contribute to the experienced information overload, divided into five categories: Information characteristics, task characteristics, personal factors, organizational factors and information technology factors. By varying the information and task characteristics in a simulation game and measuring people's performance we were able to distinguish between people's skill to handle information overload. In the constructed assessment game, people had to make decisions in a situation with high information load, and their performance was assessed by taking the efficiency of these decisions into account. To validate our test's results, various controlling tests where used with positive outcomes. Based on the two studies we conclude that the constructed test is a valid tool to distinguish in people's skill to handle information overload, with the preservation that the reliability of the adaptive test has to be further investigated. 108 pp. Englisch.

Dhaka City Corporation was taken as the basis of the survey since it was expected that being the capital as well as most prosperous region of the country the extent of the child labor in this region will portray a representative picture of the whole country. Intricate information was collected on different important differentials relating to child labor.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Traditionally, schooling has been considered by cultural economists as a way of investing in human capital, therefore subject to cost-benefit analysis. However, due to the specificity of artists' labour market, it was found that human capital applies only weakly to artists' decisions of investing in formal education, mainly because of the role played by innate ability and the fact that the informal way of improving skills is still prevalent. Therefore, it was hypothesized that schooling has rather more social capital features than human capital. In this respect, when schooling was operationalized conforming to the two functions of social capital, reproducing some of the social structure and facilitating the accomplishments of conductors' goals, it was found to have significant effects over their earnings and employment status. This finding indicates that social capital can be translated into economic terms and therefore is subject to investment and accountability of its rates of return. Moreover, due to its embeddedness in social networks and capacity to providing access to resources, the social capital perspective raises equity issues. 84 pp. Englisch.

Sustainability concepts are inconsistently incorporated into education with coverage mainly at degree level (Stone & Baldoni, 2006) and little or no implementation at vocational education (VET). Therefore a qualitative case study research was conducted to determine the reasons for the slow implementation of sustainability concepts into the VET curriculum. Academics, industry personnel and students were involved in the research. Analysis showed that academics and industry personnel considered sustainability as irrelevant to VET and demonstrated a relatively low awareness level about sustainability concepts. However, in comparison students were highly optimistic about the concept of sustainability and considered it highly relevant for VET. This book will be beneficial to academincs and curriculum developers interested in education for sustainability. 80 pp. Englisch.

Lawrence at various points of his life was influenced by women he had associations with namely Lydia Lawrence (his mother), Freida Lawrence(his wife), Jessie Chambers, Louie Burrows, Helen Corke, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Dorothy Brett, Blanche Jennings and Alice Dax. This book analyses the inspiration of some of these women on the works of Lawrence by drawing similarities between women characters in his works like Miriam, Ursula, Kate, Clara and others to their real life counterparts. The book takes not only the help of literary works of Lawrence but also letters written by him to the above mentioned women. The book establishes an essential observation that the association between Lawrence and the women in his life proved symbiotic, in terms of intellectual and literary skills. Taking into account Eliot's theory of impersonality, the book also raises a question: Can literary works be entirely objective 56 pp. Englisch.

Dunlop has tried to capture their joy and love for the natural environment and the spirit of their Xenia frescoes in particular. These frescoes were painted in the houses of wealthy Roman citizens, the still life subjects were painted with the intention of sharing food and hospitality with their guests. The ancient painters focussed on the sensory aspect of the local produce and painted in a spontaneous way. Dunlop's paintings which are illustrated in this book are the main focus of this research project, they were painted over a period of 3 years. 64 pp. Englisch.
