Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Pre-University Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Biology - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: What are the main reasons for whales being threatened to the point of extinction How severely does pullution, and the current problem of plastic rubbish, that is spreading to an unimaginable level, endanger whales What impact does captivity have on the behaviour of whales And what can we do to end whale hunting and the cruelty that these animals must face daily The aim of this paper is to show how modern-day human behaviour is affecting the lives of many other species on planet earth - especially in our oceans. My work is divided into two main subjects: Firstly, how humans affect nature using the example of whales and, secondly, measures previously and currently taken to protect whales. The first chapter is subdivided into the following areas: threats caused by overfishing, contamination and pollution, subaqueous noise and changes in behaviour in whales held in captivity. The second chapter has been structured into three sections: intensification of regulations relating to whaling, measures that every individual can undertake to support organisations working towards the rescue of the marine environment and, finally, what these organisations actually do to help.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 40 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Document from the year 2015 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 8.44, , course: M.Tech., language: English, abstract: Concrete is the most widely used construction material for infrastructure needs in the Asian region and in the world. Unfortunately, the concrete industry is one of the largest consumers of natural resources and energy, and is responsible for large emissions of carbon dioxide that is one of the greenhouse gases responsible for global warming. It is imperative that the concrete industry must be in an active role of balancing the infrastructure needs and the protection of environment. This work presents a summary of some recent research closely associated with the sustainable development of concrete technology. The research projects include study and analysis of: - Causes of deterioration of concrete structures, problems at construction sites that causes early deterioration of concrete structures. In addition to above this book also presents some environmentally-friendly and sustainable concrete technology including the use of supplementary cementing materials (SCM), recycling concrete and other materials, enhancement of service life of concrete structures. Emerging technologies that have the potential to significantly contribute to sustainable concrete industry and barriers against reuse are presented at the end of book.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Refer also to the EU-Turkey 2016 Understanding and the current agreements with Libya on managing migration. Refer also to the Human Rights dilemmas that this policy has ignited.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies, Security, grade: 72, Queen's University Belfast, course: Violence, Terrorism and Security, language: English, abstract: Terrorism with a religious underpinning is a term that speaks for itself in that it is political violence committed in the name of a religion, for religious purposes, by religiously motivated individuals. Religiously motivated terrorism is not a new or contemporary concept as examples of ¿religious terrorism¿ can be seen in the Bible, in the story of Joshuäs return to Canaan, and throughout the Christian Crusades of the middle ages. Present-day religiously motivated terrorism is directly associated with Islam primarily due to the 9/11 attacks in 2001 and the subsequent US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the War on Terror. Rapoport (2002) claims that the current resurgence of ¿religious terrorism¿ is the ¿fourth wave of rebel terror¿, and is part of a naturally evolving movement of terrorism within states, succeeding the earlier waves of anarchism, anti-colonial and new left terrorism throughout the 20th Century.The propagation of religiously motivated terrorism has led many to conclude that the most potent forms of terrorism have a religious underpinning, a belief which may be justified by the emergence of ISIS and their brand of extremely potent violence. Yet, the dominance of secular ideologies in war and terrorism throughout the 20th Century raises questions in regards to whether the view of religiously motivated violence as more potent is simply just a subjectively held Western belief. This essay will compare the aims and means by which religiously motivated and secular terrorists act before addressing the violence of contemporary Islamic terrorism and the effect of fearmongering propaganda in amplifying the potency that underpins religious terrorism.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

The purpose of this paper is to review past EP elections and define proposals, which could allow the European Union (EU) to fight abstention, and to give an opinion about the voter turnout at the next elections.The first section of this paper will examine the role and development of the EP, discuss the EU democratic deficit and Euroscepticism. It is fundamental to have a background in this field before coming to an analysis of the past elections, parties and Members of the EP (MEP) and to the main discussion of this paper, the proposals the EU could adopt to increase voter turnout and to a personal opinion of future voter turnout.The EP is the only directly elected international Parliament, this institution has many peculiarities. (Wagner, 2002:24) At the beginning of the EU, the EP was merely an assembly with a consultative role, it was with the Rome Treaty that the first view of a Parliament came out which was finally established in 1979. (Wagner, 2002: 24) The steps of its empowerment are several, the most important are: in 1987 the Single European Act which introduces the co-operation procedure, 1993 the Maastricht Treaty, which introduces the co-decision procedure and the Amsterdam Treaty in 1999 which extend the co-decision procedure. (Wagner, 2002: 25) The last and more important step of empowerment is with the Lisbon Treaty, which set out the co-decision as the normal legislative procedure.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: A, Urmia University (Uurmia University of Medical Sciences), course: TEFL, language: English, abstract: The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear. It is embedded in people since time began. It was fear that initiated the establishment of faith and religion. According to Castle in an instance horror is an emotion, extreme and shocking and while we might abhor and have aversion to horror, we are also attracted to it. We want read about horrors and some of us want to write. But horror genre in natural or supernatural form should not be at odd with the basic cultural and religious beliefs, as in this case it leads young adults to the excessive imagination and separate them from fact. As it is said in south news concept used in this genre causes the defamilarization and use of strange and unusual interpretations and phrase will lead Persian youth in the unreal world and it is because of cultural differences between Iranian culture and European culture. Then some translators say that it should be omitted from young adults' literature. On the other hand some others are disagreeing with omission of this genre. Then in this paper, the researcher analysis the advantages and disadvantages of this genre based on translators opinions and some examples from different books to see whether it should be omitted or presented.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, LMU Munich, language: English, abstract: Evelyn Waugh is one of the most complex characters in the history of British authors. Before Waugh was successful with Decline and Fall as a writer he ran through a development influenced by professional and religious struggles. Working at different opportunities as teacher, painter or writer he did at first not want to get serious about his artistic career. Only with the success of Decline and Fall around the year 1929 he made the final step to become a respected author. Waugh¿s growing religious interest in Catholicism had a significant influence in his ongoing literary work. Christopher Sykes goes in his biography of Evelyn Waugh as far as to claim that his faith was the fundamental feature for his aesthetic creating: 'Waugh¿s adoption of Catholicism virtually completed the development of his aesthetic'.In his later career Waugh established his works as important Catholic novels. Therefore they are often discussed in relation to his personal religious background. Waugh¿s first published book Decline and Fall is certainly no religious work. Thereby it holds a special position in his artistic career written right before Waugh¿s conversion to Roman Catholic belief. This sets Decline and Fall in an outstanding relation to Waugh¿s faith what makes the book very interesting to discuss in respect to religious issues.Over this term paper will now be discussed how Waugh¿s religious affection had an impact on Decline and Fall. Remarkable steps are Waugh¿s youth and school education as well as the broken marriage with his first wife. These themes are presented chronologically before Evelyn Waugh¿s motivation for his conversion is discussed in detail. Followed by the examination of Decline and Fall about religious influences by the author the discussion ends with the conclusion that his strong Catholic faith helped Waugh to become the extraordinary author he was. Presupposed is the knowledge of the book and Waugh¿s basic vita.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 82%, , language: English, abstract: Two methods of teaching foreign languages, the ¿Direct Method¿ and the ¿Grammar Translation Method¿ are described and compared. The underlying principles with main focus on acquisition of communicative skills and grammatical knowledge respectively are illustrated. Looking at possible results of either method we find that there is no gradual difference between them in the sense of better or worse, but that both have completely different targets. The suggestion is made to combine different methods in order to achieve multiple goals and to vary the emphasis according to individual goals.The most ancient and probably most fundamental controversy in language teaching is the one between ¿Direct Method¿ and ¿Grammar Translation Method¿. Both of these have totally different underlying approaches. For interested educational stakeholders or educators, there are two important questions, they should think of before looking for an appropriate method: What do I want the students to achieve How can the learners reach this goal One can think of different goals which should be reached by teaching a language and every teacher will want to cover most of them in their teaching. The emphasis however is very divers between the different approaches that have been developed over the years. And the most apparent difference, a completely different idea of how to teach language shows up between the two mentioned methods and their approaches respectively. This is why it is so interesting and exciting to compare these two methods and this is why I will try to tackle that task in this paper.The first and main goal of teaching a language obviously is teaching the language. But here rises already the first question: What is the language that we want the learners to learn Are we talking about skills in oral or written language Is our focus more on active or passive language i.e. on speaking and writing or listening and reading respectively Are we concerned about correctness or fluency Does correctness mean formulating grammatically correct sentences or texts, does it refer to perfect pronunciation and intonation, are we talking about style aptly adapted to the contextual situation And does fluency have to do with the speed of writing or speaking, with the ability to develop own ideas and own formulations while speaking or writing rather than using memorized phrases Or do we want the learners to know about the language, understanding its structure, its roots, its development BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2015 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Potsdam, course: New York Fiction in Time and Space, language: English, abstract: Safety and protection are basic human needs. Every child who has ever lain awake at night, wondering about the monsters under the bed, will attest to the fact, that it¿s not only the walls and the doors that make a house safe, it¿s the people in it. In big cities, one tends to be surrounded by people, but the emotional connection remains missing. But even there, this basic need for safety and contact has to be satisfied: communities evolve.Stephenie Meyer's 'Twilight' and Edith Wharton's 'The Age of Innocence' develop tight communities. They throw a spotlight on the inner workings of social interactions. Each story shows how secrets are protected, feelings develop and get hurt. The 1920s classic and the modern bestseller have more in common than one may think.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0, University of Potsdam, course: Chicana Life Writing, language: English, abstract: The title of the book 'The House on Mango Street' raises expectations and creates questions of its content and intent. Will it be the story of a family in the south, where Mangos grow Will we meet different characters who inhabit the same house one after another Or will the house be one-of-its-kind on this special street In actuality, Sandra Cisneros tells the story of a girl, Esperanza, who lives in a house, set on Mango Street, in a fictional part of Chicago.The 44 vignettes have their roots in stories Cisneros heard, saw, or experienced in real life. The singular in the title should therefore be a plural, because a great number of houses feature in the book. Esperanza visits family and friends while searching for her own future. The House on Mango Street is a growing-up story, yet buildings do not grow into anything. They are falling into disrepair more often than not. So why does a house feature so prominently in the title of a book on growing up I will argue, that the house in this book can be read as the female body in a patriarchal society. Its immobile state an accusation in the face of a need for change.In 1984 Sandra Cisneros published The House on Mango Street and became one of the first widely read writers of the Chicana movement. A movement that filled the void left for women of Mexican heritage by the U.S. feminist movement on the one hand, and the Chicano movement on the other hand. White middle class women fought for political equality, women¿s suffrage, and reproduction rights; Latino males fought for equal opportunity with and recognition from the dominant white U.S. American culture. The Chicana had very little interest in political rights, since she was usually concerned with questions of laundry and cooking. She didn¿t want to fight for recognition from dominant culture, because she was still dominated by males of her own culture.While the Chicana movement achieved recognition and won many battles since then, the current climate in U.S. politics, the fear of immigrants, the disregard for women¿s rights to their bodies, shows that there is much to be done. The House on Mango Street remains a book of utmost consequence to feminism, immigration and integration. What Sandra Cisneros captured, and I will try to show, is how the way we think about women influences the way we act toward them and how the same thoughts act on our self-perception.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: A, University of Malta (Institute for European Studies), language: English, abstract: Climate policy for the European Union (EU) was irrelevant until the 70s, it became a topic on the political agenda only in the 80s, and today its policy includes adaptation.The European Union recognises that some of the impacts of climate change caused by past emissions are irreversible. The policy responses of climate change are adaptation and mitigation.The main reason for a weak adaptation strategy in mid 80s and 90s was the reluctance of the Member States (MS) to give up power to the supranational institutions. But it was only when the IPCC report put emphasis on adaptation arguing that it should concern even industrialized countries and not only Developing countries (DC) that things started to change. The EU has adopted in 2013 the Adaptation Strategy, which has been strengthened since the 5th National Communication.The aim of this paper is to critically assess EU¿s current trends in adaptation actions, as well as future adaptation requirements. In order to reach this goal this paper will rely on two main documents: sixth EU¿s National Communication to the UNFCCC and to the correspondent UNFCCC¿s in-depth review.The first part will give a brief overview of the EU adaptation strategy, its development and the main official documents, the second part is a more detailed analysis and criticism on the actions described in the current EU adaptation strategy. Before the conclusion, the main criticism will be highlighted and the future adaptation requirement outlined.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Of course, one of the core components of the hostel industry is the accommodation, including bed and breakfast being accompanied by several additional services that in turn enhance the customer experience. Hence, the present business plan refers to the viability and sustainability, as well as to the limitations posed by the macro environment to the new product, named St Christopher's Village ON. As such its feasibility and sustainability must be taken into account, together with the factors that restrain its future development.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 1,0, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, language: English, abstract: On the 26th July 2012, a time characterised by uncertainties about the future of the Eurozone, Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank (ECB) declared ¿Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro. And believe me, it will be enough.¿ The announcement detached historic political, economic and especially legal incidents. Only two months later, the ECB published a press release, which proclaimed the introduction of Outright Monetary Transactions. These operations allowed for the purchase of government bonds form Member States (MSs), which take part in the ESFS or ESM and conquer macroeconomic structural adjustment programmes. Despite the fact that the press release was hardly ever followed by a binding legal act or instrument to implement OMT, the mere pronouncement had the power to reassure the financial markets. From that date on, there were no more such extreme spreads in interest rates for government bonds.But the announcement caused a judicial tremor, known as the Gauweiler case. In response to Gauweiler and others¿ complaint against the OMT, the German Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) asked the Europan Court of Justice (ECJ) the first time in history for a preliminary ruling (Art. 267 TFEU) on the legality of the OMT programme. According to the BVerfG the ECB has exceeded its role provided by the Treaties of the European Union ultra vires by initiating a measure that a) has an economic and not a monetary nature (Art. 127 TFEU) and b) violates the prohibition of monetary financing (Art. 123 TFEU). The ECJ¿s judgement was very different from that of the BVerfG, in the way that the OMT programme is compatible with EU law in the light of the European Court. Gauweiler had extensive implications on the powers of the ECB, the relation-ship between the ECJ and national courts (especially the BVerfG) and the constitutional framework of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). In addition, the case made important contributions to the distinctions between economic and monetary policy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Some are very ambitious, some others are sceptical. Many say that our Balkan region is still immature for such smart projects, and that it is practical for more developed regions with a happy history.The authors of this article open this ¿food for thoughts¿ debate for the research community of defence and security in the Balkans.They promote open discussions on what could be ¿smart defense¿ areas at national, multinational and regional level.The authors try to give answers to several questions: how to develop more capabilities with less resources How to further prioritize the priorities How to specialize in niche capabilities we can afford How to promote multinational approaches and develop regional capabilities to face regional threats, and how to share and pool many of capabilities at regional level One thing is sure: the idea of going smart in this time of austerity is in the agenda of all defence organizations of all allied countries, and nobody can avoid that easily. On the other side, the idea of going smart is to be difficult especially when we go from theory to practice, so it will face time, energy and decision making difficulties.The smart defence was one of the pillars in the agenda of Chicago summit and is expected to be one of the hot topics for the next years to come. The authors encourage independent experts and other civil and military researchers to provide their ¿for and against¿ positions about smart defence in the Balkan region.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Sociology - Basics and General, grade: 1,0, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to describe different theories that try to explain, why individuals respectively couples decide to dissolve their marriage.These theories try to detect determinants and processes, which are responsible for the stability or instability of a marriage. Divorce has become an important topic in sociological research, because over the last decades, there has been a huge increase in the number of divorces. As Wagner & Weiß state in their paper of a Meta research on German divorce research, there are various existing theories concerning marital dissolution. Apart from the exchange theory, they mention the microeconomic theory of marital dissolution, to be the most used theory in German research.Therefore I decided to give a detailed description of Gary Becker¿s microeconomic theory and compare it with Esser¿s theory of Reframing and South¿s macrostructural opportunity model, we discussed in class. In the next part of this paper, I will first describe each theories essentials and their predictions concerning divorce risk. Whereas in the second part, I will discuss the theories concerning similarities and differences and use additional literature on marital dissolution, to give recommendation for further research.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, , language: English, abstract: The asylum procedure is a very complex thematic. The right to seek asylum, because a person is in need of protection, is settled down in the 1951 Refugee Convention. 147countries agreed that when a person¿s life is in danger because of persecution, he/she deserves protection. If a country is not able to protect its citizens, or maybe the government itself is the cause of persecution, then another country is supposed to help people who flee. The right to seek asylum is even mentioned in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Aim of this paper is to describe in detail the different forms of protection awarded to asylum seekers in Malta, including an analysis of the legal framework and a description of the similarities, differences and criteria, which must be fulfilled for each form of protection. In the first part, the focus will be on the legal framework these different regimes are based on. Before analysing the forms of protections, as it is important to have an idea about what it means to be an asylum seeker in Malta, we will here provide some data about applications in Malta. However, the main part of this paper will concentrate on the three protection forms granted to asylum seekers in Malta. There will be a discussion about the differences and similarities on these forms of protections before getting to a conclusion.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Enterovirus 71, or EV 71, is responsible for causing Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease in humans. In particular, it is especially deadly when children and small infants are exposed. The methods for this research include transformation of Escherichia coli with the genetic information from Enterovirus 71, growth of the Escherichia coli colonies in the lab setting, 2C protein purification, and ATPase assays with drug testing. Of the 364 drugs tested in the ATPase assay, a combination of two of them (Mitrofudil and N6-Benzyladenosine) indicated a stoppage in activity of ATPase, signaling no further activity of the enzyme and viral proliferation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

It is not only a matter of being a compulsory subject within the school curriculum but it is also an area of study that many students/ pupils want to develop. Many Yemeni parents have recently recognized the importance of English as a key to science, technology and business in our modern world and want their children to get mastery over English. Unfortunately, though its recognized importance by teachers, schoolmasters, students and parents, the outcomes, especially within the rural Yemeni context, are still low and most students can¿t cultivate a good level of English during their pre-tertiary education due to many challenges that obstruct English language teaching in the Yemeni schools.This study was an attempt to survey challenges of English language teaching in AL-Dhalea primary and secondary schools from the viewpoints of 20 EFL senior teachers and supervisors for the purpose of identifying such challenges and suggesting some solutions and strategies for better English language teaching. Findings show that large classes, lack of teaching aids, teachers¿ low proficiency in English and their limited experience with communicative language teaching are considered as major challenges of English language teaching in the concerned Yemeni primary and secondary schools.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Pedagogy - General, , course: Education, language: English, abstract: This study was done to gauge the sensitivity of University teachers to the use of emerging technologies for teaching in Nigerian universities. The study was a survey of the academic of the Faculties of Education in Universities across North Central Nigeria. The study is borne out of the need to x-ray some complexities in the Nigerian educational system that may likely underlie the rather slow pace and magnitude of use of relevant emerging technologies in teaching in Nigerian universities. The paper attempted to measure the level of awareness and responsiveness as well as proficiency among university teachers in the use of emerging technologies like use of personal computers, computerized grading, e-textbooks, gammification, simulation, active and flipped classrooms in teaching. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data which was analyzed using simple percentages. Findings indicate that the percentage level of awareness of the existence of some relevant technologies for teaching is generally very low while teacher responsiveness is as low and invariably poor. The percentage skill level was also very low. It was concluded that the relative slow pace of the application of emerging ICT for teaching in Nigerian universities is likely connected with teachers¿ sensitivity to the use of such ICTs in teaching. It was recommended among other things that educators generally and university teachers in particular should be made aware of relevant emerging technologies through policies and regulations that ensure teachers at such a discerning level of education are fully trained and incentivized to use the relevant ICT in delivering their diverse services like the most needed rich scholarly content as well as relevant skills for the 21st Century learner.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,00, University of Suceava, language: English, abstract: This article refers to points of view that Mihai Eminescu, Constantin Radulescu-Motru and Mircea Vulc¿nescu had concerning Romanian spirituality. In their writings, they have identified those specific elements of the Romanian people, through which we can characterize very well in terms of spirituality. The purpose of this study is to show that Romanian spirituality allow the existence of a native Romanian philosophy, as well to remind that those special characteristics that define us as a nation. The philosophy wants to give a true and objective conception about the world by removing any subjective residue, making it as scientific as possible. From this point of view the ethnic characteristics can become an impediment for the purpose. This explains why when the existence of a logical dissonance it is found inside a system, it is made either on the account of prejudice or national specific traditions. However, these dissonances should not be treated lightly, but analyzed with objectivity and scientific rigor, firstly to explain them as appropriate as possible and secondly, because they are the ones that characterize a specific spiritual moment of a nation. That's because every nation has on it¿s own, besides the traditions and idioms, some typical and personal characters, specific ways to react in special moments, including certain ways of viewing things and certain ways to express them. According to Mircea Florian,the philosophy is starting to nationalize in the XIII century by addressing a new philosophical language, thought and used in order to facilitate the masses access to the philosophical principles that the French Revolution has built. Therefore in the late century that was mentioned above, philosophy ' also suffers the following principle of the independence of the nationalities proclaimed by the French Revolution¿. Therefor ¿the philosophy customizes, focuses between national boundaries as far as nations awaken to a life of its own and become aware of their past. The philosophy of the nineteenth century it is transformed from a european one into a national one; since 1800 we meet the german philosophy, french philosophy, english philosophy, italian philosophy, american philosophy, etc.- the mentality is nationalized. Instead of a European value systems, philosophy raises the flag of the national particularism, of the religiosity, of the respect for the past'.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Since images play an important role in the social media world, organizations have the opportunity to create a profile at the social media network Instagram to post filtered and non filtered photos, to engage its users to view, like and comment those. Photo filters that increase warmth, exposure and contrast get more likes and comments because they elicit feelings of arousal and excitement. This theory can be attributed to the filters colours, since red, orange, and yellow lead to states of arousal and excitement. Next to that, sport fans enjoy images in black&white and sepia.The sport company S is a client that has wished an Instagram profile from the company 12s. For that reason, the management did send many sport related photos to the media firm, which they can post at their profile. However, the employees who are responsible for the Instagram profile are not sure if they should keep the images original or edit them with filters. If they edit photos, they can choose between filters, what makes the choice harder, since they do not know which filter viewers like. For solving that problem, a research was needed to give recommendations to the organization 12s for the best filter choice by analysing appealing colours and filters of lively Instagram users that are interested in sport and leisure via an experiment.For the experiment, two groups were randomly chosen, which were as similar as possible. All participants had to be interested in sport&leisure. One group had to answer questions about original photos and the second group about edited photos. 16 images were posted in original and edited at the Instagram profile Bachelor_Workout, to see which photos receive more likes.The outcome shows that participants prefer photos edited. Approximately, edited photos receive min. 20 per cent more views and likes compared to original photos. Furthermore, participants like warm colours filters such as Hefe and Valencia and the colourful filter Clarendon. Especially men do like the black and white filter Moon compared to women who prefer the filter X_Pro_II.To engage Instagram users who are interested in sport and leisure, 12s should edit photos with warm colours to reach the target group of the sport company S. If they like to reach more men, they can use the black and white filter Moon and if they concentrate more on women with a photo, they should use the filter Rise.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 44 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Scientific Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, , language: English, abstract: One of a company's competitive advantages is its organizational ability to use strategically important competencies for its own innovation and value creation processes. In this way it improves its competitiveness. Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) do not use this opportunity for more growth. The companies surveyed clearly indicated that they usually have no local conditions and resources of their own to develop competence development strategies and to follow them up on transfer success and measure them for success in further training. The structures and processes for personnel development and thus the internal services for changes and innovations in the operative processes are hardly developed in these companies. The assessment of success by the training companies commissioned with the implementation of qualification and development measures is limited to the learning field. In order to ensure knowledge transfer, however, it would be necessary to extend further training controlling to the fields of activity of the participants. After all, it is not only a question of whether the participant has acquired a learning success, but whether he is in a position to implement the learning success. Benefit-oriented evaluations, i.e. evaluations of the success of qualification measures from the economic perspective hardly play a role in practice. The low equity ratio in SMEs hampers investment in professional skills development. Last but not least, there is a lack of marketable services to support innovation processes in SMEs. How can the development of skills for innovation processes in SMEs be promoted by innovative continuing training companies and how can the success of continuing vocational training be measured and evaluated for the company, its employees and the participants A strategic field of action for continuing training companies is the systematic development of tailor-made services to support learning in dialogue with SMEs. Their wishes and needs are the starting point and the benefit, the goal of the development process in which they are integrated as customers by the training companies. The concept of 'Innovation and Value Creation Partnership' (IWP) is a model for systematic service development in continuing training companies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.
