Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The focus of the book is on the lessons that can be learned by 'reading' the crude oil price term structure correctly - i.e. in formation of trading strategies or making forecasts. The analysis goes back to the period when trading crude oil was becoming popular and traces the conditions that led to the inevitable need for creating oil futures and markets where they are traded. The main aim of the book is to go into the details of the crude oil price term structure in order to understand how it reflects the prevailing market conditions and how the various market participants use it in their strategic decision-making activities. This book could be helpful to students who are interested in crude oil and the economics behind crude oil and crude oil products; to post-graduate students and researchers who are interested in deepening their knowledge of term structure as used in the crude oil industry; to professionals who want to explore the practical implications of concepts such as ¿contangö and ¿backwardation¿ and the hints one can get by interpreting correctly the crude oil price term structure for building a successful trading strategy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -There is a great debate on the role strategic alliances can have as market entry or penetration strategies in developing countries. The topic becomes even more interesting when confronted with the quasi-oligopolistic dynamics of the global automotive market, heavily affected by the contrasting trends towards globalisation and consolidation and by growing excess capacity. The present book confronts the literature on strategic alliances in developing markets with a specific case and market, namely the JV between Fiat and Tata and the global and Indian automotive markets. At the same time this book traces the strategic rationale for the JV from its inception to the latest developments. Findings strongly support the argument for JVs with a local partner as optimal ways to overcome the liability of foreignness in the Indian subcontinent. Possible improvements to the JV analyzed are the exploitation of new synergies, the development of new product lines and the conversion of India into a production and R&D hub, while increasing market penetration in India and deepening the commitment to local suppliers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Corruption is one of the most wide spread problems in Uganda. Since the NRM''s taking over power they have been efforts to curtail the vice but it has remained and has not been stepped out despite the various efforts by the government to eliminate it. Today, the ACD has been established and whether it strengthens the struggle for the fight against corruption is the subject of this research. This study is an attempt to examine the manner in which the ACD operates and to ascertain its contribution to the fight against corruption in Uganda. This study examines the various issues that have made the pre ACD anti-corruption institutions fail to curtail the rampant levels of corruption. This is done by analyzing the mandate of the ACD and identifying the inadequacies of other institutions in the fight against corruption. It is against this background that my study concludes that corruption is an absurd practice which must be fought so that the people involved do not enrich themselves unjustly. The challenges involved in the fight against corruption are a major concern and should be addressed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The global financial crisis of September 2008 highlighted the importance of financial stability, financial soundness, and currency stability. This dissertation contributes to the literature in these areas with two studies. The first essay examines the financial characteristics of banks that use derivatives and those that do not, as well as the relationship between the use of derivatives and financial characteristics using quarterly data from all domestic banks from March 1998 to March 2009. The second essay estimates the sensitivity of stock returns to market, interest and exchange rate risks of the Chinese and Taiwanese financial institutions, and it also examines the pricing of these risk factors in the framework of Ross'' (1976) arbitrage pricing theory. The two-step estimation procedure adopts a seemingly unrelated regression method using daily data for the period from 21 July 2005 to 31 December 2009. Finally, the implications of these findings for regulators, industrialists and academicians are provided in this dissertation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Up to around the 1970s,it was unthinkable to buy and sell water for household use in Kenya.However global trends entailing liberalization and privatization beginning the 1980s made water a tradable commodity.The problem is that commercialization of water discriminates household demand by affecting households differentially relative to social and economic contexts.It is against this backdrop that this study was conceived.Commercialization of water has financial implications.This means that by trading water in the market place, only the willing buyer with the requisite purchasing power will acess the resource.A category of households are likely to be excluded from the formal water delivery system or inclined to structural adjustments to cope in a profit oriented water market.This not withstanding, some households are likely to be made better off interms of improved living standards and enhanced opportunities.This study seeks to explore the effects on household demand.It brings out the social dimensions of the problem.It engenders both theoretical and practical significance to scholars,researchers,policy makers and water consumers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Internet banking has become a global phenomenon.It is the fastest growing service that banks can offer in order to gain and retain new customers. However, the issue of adoption behaviour by final consumers seems to be a pivotal issue in the successful implementation of Internet banking. In some countries, Internet banking has proved to be very reliable and efficient whilst in some others, they are found to be extremely dormant due to adoption behaviour. This study tried to investigate if there are differences in Internet banking adoption behaviour between Ghana and Sweden. One bank each from Ghana and Sweden was selected for this study. The study employed the extended technology acceptance model and it was based on using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Questionnaires were accordingly administered to some selected Internet banking customers of the two banks selected for this study. The study concludes that there is only a marginal or subtle difference in the adoption behaviour in Internet banking between Ghana and Sweden, and that, the low patronage of Internet banking in Ghana as compared to that of Sweden is due to reasons other than customers¿ adoption behaviour.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -After the revolutionary arguments of relevance lost (Johnson and Kaplan, 1987) the traditional management accounting practices have gone through huge debates. Management accounting tools like target costing, kaizen costing, competitor analysis, balanced scorecard, value chain analysis, quality costing, just in time and others got great responses from the academicians. But when the issue of practical applicability came, it was found that, in so many cases, these revolutionary new tools and techniques of management accounting did not get much importance from the part of the practitioners. Another important matter that was found is that the popularity of these tools varied across the countries. The monograph concludes that there is a divergence in the use of management accounting practices among the industries and among the national cultures because of the fact that these contemporary management accounting tools demand some prerequisites to get applied and these prerequisites are not available in the same level in different countries.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book explores one of the most critical concepts in gender theories. It attempts to understand the 'agency' of the diasporic subjects. It locates agency in the personal narratives of two generations of Bangladeshi immigrant women in the United Kingdom (UK). The author problematizes the liberal notion of autonomy which considers religion as an obstacle to women¿s agency. She uncouples agency from resistance, choice and the provision of change without nullifying the latter concepts within agency. The book defines agency as the ¿strategies¿ that women use to lead their lives in different ways. One of the central arguments of this book is that there is none without agency, nor is someone with more agency or with less agency. Everyone has agency, but everyone has different forms of agency. This is an important book for the academics, gender specialists, development practitioners and policymakers who are interested in 'gender and migration' issues.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In educational institutions the introduction of a new technology will affect students¿ communication climate namely, awareness, perception, attitude, adoption, and satisfaction. This study was conducted to investigate the impact of the implementation of the Free Wireless Connection (FWC) in IIUM, towards the students¿ communication climate. The study was based on the assumption that the usage of FWC will positively influence the communication climate and its dimensions. The data was collected from 300 undergraduate students to test four main hypotheses. The findings showed that there were no significant differences on the students¿ FWC usage and the level of their communication climate based on their gender, nationality, and academic division. However, the FWC implementation dominantly creates higher awareness among students compared to their perception, attitude, adoption, and satisfaction. And lastly, students¿ FWC usage positively influences their overall communication climate. It would appear that the FWC usage can predict students¿ communication climate, where higher FWC usage leads to higher level of communication climate.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -GDP and Happiness argues that GDP per capita is far from a robust indicator of human welfare, and that its inappropriate use can result into misguided policy decisions. The author examines various approaches to the measurement of subjective well- being and social welfare that have been developed for the construction of alternatives to GDP. He further discusses the connections of these approaches with economic theory, and compares measures of progress centered on people''s well-being and quality of life. Special attention is devoted to the feasibility of implementing these measures, and using them for policy applications. Both objective and subjective dimensions of well-being are important and valuable in enriching policy discussion, and giving information about the conditions which affect common people''s happiness. It is suggested that the time has ripen for measurement systems to shift attention from measuring economic output to measuring people''s overall welfare. These systems complement traditional financial indexes with sets of quality of life indicators based on measures of sustainability, and social and subjective well-being.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This research examines corporate governance as well as developing a preferred working definition for the term corporate governance that is adopted throughout the research. It then discusses key aspects of corporate governance. Survey evidence indicates that corporate governance is fairly understood in the insurance industry in Zimbabwe. Research findings further reveal that directors¿ remuneration is mainly a function of company performance and that to some extent Zimbabwean insurance companies are owner-managed. Other findings from the study suggest that enterprise- wide risk management is embraced by a few insurance companies and that boards are, to a great extent, chaired by non-executive directors who are not necessarily independent.Results of this study suggest that while an outright claim that insurance company collapses are wholly attributed to poor corporate governance is not well supported with empirical evidence at hand, it might be that in some cases corporate governance is not always put in practice by directors as well as it might be and could be that for some insurance companies more needs to be done.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -With the cognizance of the view that China''s increasing peacekeeping participation in Africa is in line with the UN peacekeeping operations guidelines, this book examines China''s UN Peacekeeping experience in Africa from 2000 to 2010 using three cases of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan and Liberia. The selection of these cases is because China has participated in these countries and that is where the largest Chinese troop contribution has been made, thus providing an opportunity through which China''s UN peacekeeping experience is examined. Effectively, this situation elucidates prospects for China-Africa cooperation under the framework of the United Nations Security Council. If there is full use of deep experience and camaraderie, the two sides (China and Africa) share and develop a common desire for development and strategic interests; there is a possibility that this cooperation could situate some African countries for a position on the Security Council.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Nowadays, the decline of the age of oil expecting in 2050 push many oil-producing countries to want to change their oil laws, to nationalize or expropriate foreign oil companies operating in their territories, to renegotiate their former petroleum contracts in order to better adapt them to the current circumstances and implement policies for strengthening the control of national and foreign petroleum activities. The rising of large (national or) foreign direct investments in search of new oilfield around the world reflects the panic of the decline of oil and its legal consequences. This situation will help us to analyze and understand legal issues that arise in the State contracts especially petroleum contracts signed between, on the one hand the host state of investment, subject of international law and owner of petroleum resources contained into its territory, and on the other hand, the foreign investors or a private foreign oil company, which is a non-state actor of international law.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The main objective of this book is to highlight the research work on the factors that influence investors'' investment decision making in Malaysia. The main issue is whether they are rational or irrational in their decision making behaviour. The findings from the current study however, found that Malaysian investors are rational investors. The researchers conclude that Malaysian investors are categorized as ¿savers'', ¿cautious and smart'' investors. This is due to the fact that they seek low-risk growth of investment such as mutual funds, property and money market. In the stock market investment, they make an effort to analyze share before decide to invest, use information from a variety of reliable sources and seek advice from knowledgeable people in their decision making process. For the success of their investment, it was found that they use technical analysis, company analysis and frame of reference as an evaluation tools for decision making. Herding was found to have negative impact to their investment success.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Riga fashion shows used to be among the most important in the whole Soviet Union; however, after regain of independence dramatic economical changes and sudden influx of foreign fashion affected the industry heavily in Latvia. There are only few brand names left, and new ones are struggling to get attention of media and public. Well equipped factories export all the production, often without their brand; and local fashion designers are reluctant to mass produce their designs. This book investigates the fashion industry in Latvia and its potential for development with emphasis on branded products, considering designers'' and mass producers'' relations with retail channels, media and customers. By using the SWOT analysis tool and examples of world''s practice these findings are evaluated, and best development strategies are suggested. The analysis are valuable not only to representatives of Latvia and other post-Soviet countries but also to professionals in Fashion Business and Promotion fields who are considering working in the region or have interest to learn more about Soviet fashion history and transitional challenges.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Since the International Conference on Population and Development in 1994, family planning has been prioritized in strategic plan in Cambodia. Though the contraceptive prevalence rate has increased for the last several years, it is still the lowest among Sub-Mekong Region countries. The significance of this book, therefore, aims to discuss two important dimensions of KAP (1) the educational background of women and knowledge of contraceptives and (2) the knowledge of contraceptive and its practice. The analysis shows that the female education is correlated with knowledge of family planning. However, the knowledge of family planning is less likely to be correlated with the practice. The knowledge of family planning would not be the only factor to encourage the practices. This book should help shed some light on the family planning perspective that female education contributes to the development of women''s autonomy in any situation, for example, knowledge of family planning and life skills. Lots of macro level studies supported that educated women have better knowledge, skill and social status. Therefore, female education is a factor to be considered in family planning policies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -While most older adults consider themselves to be in good health and live independent lives, the National Advisory Council on Aging has reported staggering numbers regarding diminished health status in aging adults, with more than 90% having a chronic health condition. Frailty, and chronic health conditions, can be attributed to a decline across multiple physiological systems, resulting in a reduction of one''s ability to complete tasks of everyday living. Sarcopenia (muscle loss) can start as early as middle age and can continue to accelerate throughout life. Past techniques that have been used to classify sarcopenia have used various body composition methods to estimate muscle mass. However, there has not been an investigation looking at how well multiple sarcopenia classification methods agree or if alternative body composition methods can be used in place of the current methods. This book examines the validity of several body composition techniques used in older adults compared to a criterion four-compartment model and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Additionally, this book compares two body composition-based methods for the classification of sarcopenia.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This monograph examines the n-dimensional regular polytopes from various aspects through a series of papers, model pictures and data. These papers don't seem to have direct relations among them, but they, in fact, separately explored various aspects of the n-dimensional regular polytopes, such as structure, internal relationship, included angles and size scales, etc. The mathematical knowledges involved includes group theory, combinatorial mathematics, disperse geometry, partial differential geometry and topology etc. They form the unique characteristics of this monograph: each paper has its own independent character, and all of the papers are inter-connected and related to the n-dimensional regular polytopes. What is more important is that the monograph contains many rarely known formulae, relative expressions and data. The main purpose of writing this monograph is that by digesting the research presented, people can understand that the reasoning ability of mankind can absolutely reach the n-dimensional space and calculate accurately the numerical values concerning the n-dimensional regular polytopes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Recently, MIMO systems have been considered in wireless communication systems to increase the capacity. Linear Dispersion Codes are one group of Space-Time Codes with different design methods which are used in MIMO systems. Among them, PSBLLSTCs can provide various data rate and reliable performance in uncorrelated channels. In this book, the influence of unavoidable correlation in MIMO channels on the performance of PSBLLSTCs is studied. It is shown that by applying the optimal phase shifts among transmitted symbols in one layer or between different layers, performance degradation can be reduced. It has also been shown that the optimal phase shifts achieved for uncorrelated systems would not change in presence of correlation. In studying the performance of PSBLLSTCs, high decoding complexity of Maximum Likelihood detection was noticed. In this book, the method of Polar Sphere Decoding is exploited to simplify the decoding process and to provide the possibility of using Sphere Decoding in non-lattice configuration at the receiver side for PSBLLSTCs. It is presented that this decoding process is more than 6 times faster in comparison with ML decoding process.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important cereal crop of the world and staple food of Pakistan's people. Over the last few years, weed flora infestation has become a key disaster in crop production. The quality of wheat produce from weed infected fields is inferior because these compete with crop plants for space, light and nutrients, harbor plant pathogens, create hurdles in cultural practices and mixing of their seeds with wheat grains. Owing to weeds infestation, tremendous changes in crop production have been assumed all over the world. This book, therefore, focuses on the use of different post emergence herbicides to reduce growth and spread of weeds from reaching at mature stage when they are extremely harmful to wheat plants. The importance of weed control in achieving better production of wheat is discussed in the light of results.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Reactive power pricing has always been essential for reliable & efficient system operation whether power market is regulated or deregulated. Since, the Nepalese power market is on the way of restructuring, the issue of reactive power pricing in Nepalese system is emerging. The aim of reactive power pricing is to encourage reactive power generation in the system providing the incentives for reactive sources according to their contribution to the system. The study proposes a capacity based reactive power pricing of reactive sources according to their contribution on voltage support & loss reduction contribution. Voltage sensitivity method has been used to evaluate the reactive sources. Generation Marginal Loss Sensitivity, Load Marginal Loss Sensitivity & Reactive Power Value (RPV) of sources with & without shunt capacitors has been calculated. It is found that Generation Marginal Loss Sensitivity for active & reactive loads without shunt capacitor is greater than that with shunt capacitor. Similarly, RPV of generators without shunt compensation is higher than that with shunt compensation which is obvious due to importance of reactive power in the absence of compensation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.
