Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -When compared to MTA cells, MTB-01 cells were susceptible to risedronateinduced apoptosis, had decreased ability to bind to risedronate-treated bone, and did not produce MMP-2 or MMP-9 proteases. MTA cells were less susceptible to risedronateinduced apoptosis and produced MMP-2. Additionally, adhesion of MTA cells to bone matrix was not diminished by risedronate treatment. Our results suggest that the nonresponsive nature of the MTA cell line may be due to MMP-2 production (possibly allowing ongoing destruction of risedronate-treated bone), continued adhesion to risedronate-treated bone matrix, and decreased susceptibility to risedronate-induced apoptosis. 128 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -During the last two decades internationalization has been booming. One of the biggest influences is the Internet, which makes it easier for companies to cross borders and to spread their potential without traveling a great deal. Everything happens faster and easier. But when companies expand internationally this does not only bring advantages. Entering a country with a different culture, a different language and a different currency also bring liabilities. Previous research showed that liabilities cause many failures. Researchers have demonstrated that liabilities exist even when a company expands into its neighboring countries. In their research liabilities are categorized into four sources: Cross-border transfer, interaction with the local government, local discrimination, and interaction within the multinational. This thesis investigates whether these liabilities are still present and specifically what the Dutch multinationals did to overcome these liabilities.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Industries brought not only development but also destruction and pain; more or less in equal measure. By recognizing this, the industrial giants, the world over, have long realized the need for keeping the social dissatisfaction of the local community against industrial unit to the minimum, as they were aware that any disturbance in social satisfaction, finally, leads to unrest against the industry/industrial unit in question. In fact, many industries/industrial units are facing dissatisfaction of the neighborhood communities due to soil, water and air pollution, loss of livelihoods and health hazards; largely because of the industrial activity. Impact of other social and economic problems associated with industrialization are no less worrying. Needless to say, no industrial activity/unit can survive when its neighborhood becomes dissatisfied. This calls for regular measurement and monitoring of social satisfaction levels of the community and take appropriate corrective measures as and when the social satisfaction levels fall below the optimum. This monograph is meant to introduce the reader with techniques, methods and the process of conducting social satisfaction surveys/studies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This thesis tests whether microcredit offered by MFIs succeeded, from the perspectives of beneficiaries, in reducing the poverty of borrowers in poor areas in Cairo using the example of First Microfinance as a case study. The data was gathered using a tailored questionnaire on a sample of 151 beneficiaries. A linear regression model is used with the dependent variable as the difference in wealth indices before and after acquiring the loan and a set of independent variables. Microfinance showed a positive effect on poverty reduction but with a small magnitude. The results show that the lack of training provided to beneficiaries and the haphazard types of micro-projects are the main reasons for this limited effect. This conclusion was also validated using a qualitative research. It is highly recommended to have a governmental supervisory entity which ensures that Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) are providing sufficient training sessions to all beneficiaries prior to releasing loans. The existing Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) law should be modified in a manner that supports emphasis on training and monitoring of beneficiaries as mandatory for MFIs to obtain licenses.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

The problems in reaching a peaceful institutional agreement on all the aforementioned are even greater when we talk about the EU as the fruit of an international treaty, and therefore, through the concept that avoids Sub-State entities taking part directly within EU decision making processes. In certain sense, we can talk of the EU as a real fruit of an international treaty. However, it has a clear will for political integration and this requires as well dealing with Sub-State participation at all levels. This means that in an international organisation looking for integration, the Sub-State approach recognised at domestic levels needs to become a part of the EU.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This thesis examines the need for information and subsequent use of sources of information by travelers, with a specific focus on backpackers. A theoretical model is presented to link being a backpacker, need for information, and a) where information sources are found (internally vs. externally), b) how many information sources are used, and c) which types of information sources are used (direct vs. mediated). The model and hypotheses were tested through an online survey among travelers. Results showed that being a backpacker is minimally related to the type of information sources used, and not to where sources are found or how many sources are used. Instead, the use of travel information sources was related to demographic variables such as age, level of income, level of education, length of trip, and the regions visited. Individual characteristics thus seem of more importance in explaining information used during travel than traveler group characteristics. Implications for current theorizing and research on traveling and use of information sources are discussed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This work investigates the effect of the financial liberalization programs of the 1990s on bank efficiency in transition economies for the period 1993-2005. Using data from nearly 6000 bank/year combinations for 16 countries, individual bank efficiency scores are computed, which are then aggregated to obtain a national efficiency score for each country per year. These calculations are performed using a non-parametric input-orientated frontier analysis with constant returns to scale. Strong evidence is found that suggests financial deregulation programs have a positive influence on the efficiency of banks. Within these liberalization programs, banking regulations and policies on securities markets seem to have the strongest positive effect, while credit controls negatively influence bank efficiency. Inspired by Ernestine Numan.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The ability to develop and manage effective networks is a crucial entrepreneurial skill necessary for the formation and maintenance of a new enterprise. Social networks have been known to influence entrepreneurial success, given that they provide access to resources. However, relatively less attention has been paid to the networks of female entrepreneurs in general and even far less in developing nations. Theories that emerge from a liberal western context may not apply in traditional nations such as, Iran. Hence, when studying female employment or entrepreneurship, it is imperative to understand the underlining cultural and socioeconomic factors that without a doubt influence these women and their economic activities. This book therefore, presents important insights with regards to the networking activities of female business-owners in Iran and the ways in which these women utilize their networks for the advantage of their companies. The analysis should be particularly useful for scholars conducting research on female entrepreneurship. Also, for women entrepreneurs that hope to start-up a business in Iran as well as numerous similar cultural contexts.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.
