Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book examines how community leaders in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo - Fort McMurray, an oil sands town in northern Alberta, Canada, address the issue of image management when it comes to negative coverage of their community via external media outlets. The ethnographical study employs Goffman¿s image management theory, McCombs and Shaw¿s agenda-setting theory and Christians¿ utilitarianism in media ethics theory as its foundation for the need of telling a balanced story about the municipality. In addition, narratives of several other cities around the world have been examined for similar issues. A content analysis of a few of these highlighted stories, and qualitative interviews with selected leaders round out the exploratory study. Furthermore, questions of ethical and moral responsibilities for journalists when telling a community¿s account as well as how a community can help tell its story to external media outlets were also explored. In light of the in-depth research, this book serves to be a de facto call for journalists for accountability and ethical/moral responsibility when relaying a community¿s comprehensive narrative.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The dynamics of customary marriage set up in a country which has more than 73 Ethnic groupings is not only fascinating but, is also challenging to regulate. The pressure created on customary marriage in the light of continuous social changes and inter-marriages can no longer be ignored. However, the cultural practices and norms without being written as law create both negative and positive impact on the rights and duties of parties involved under customary marriage which gives rise to a number of disputes. This book therefore can be used as a reference on the need to harmonise some key cultural values to help balance the advantages and disadvantages of cutomary marriages cutting across all ethnic groupings. The analysis should encourage more research on family law by students and other researchers. The book may also be useful to traditional adjudicators, marriage counsellors, social groups and individulas involved in resolving matrimonial cases .The book also makes an interesting reading about various aspects of the Zambian Culture to any one wanting to have a camera view of how different marriage ceremonies are conducted in Zambia.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The study aims at researching and presenting structural changes and global trends in distributive trade of European Union, resulted from liberalization of economic activities within the EU. During the last decades, EU trade went through deep transformation and structural changes. Level of development, structure of trade network, as well as structure of retail forms, differ from one country to another. Regardless of differences between particular national and regional markets within EU, almost all countries participate in increased trend of internationalization, concentration and dislocation of traditional retail towards modern sale forms. On a global scale, internationalization of trade should lead to more integrated and uniform development of a whole world trade. First study deals with: the level of development and structure of the distributive trades in European union, and then processes the global trends (the changing in the trade structure of European union, increase of the share of retail with own brand, the concentration of the trade, the internationalization of retail trade).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -A concise book on public administration and public policy for Ghana is lacking in the literature, and hence, the the attempt to write this seminal book to fill the gap. The book defines public administration and ties it to the Constitution and the executive branch. It also emphasizes the history and reforms of the civil service. It devotes time to the judiciary and its role; it, furthermore, focuses some time on the policy process and the legislature. Finally, an attempt is made to tie all the 'pieces' together. This book is written for those interested in public administration and public policy in Ghana in particular and all others who are interested in the field of public administration and public policy in general. The principles and issues expressed in the book can be applied to many areas of public administration and public policy and are not restrictive. The book is intentionally written in an easy-to-understand format and language. The intention is to give a very broad and introductory overview of the workings of public administration and public policy, particularly using as an example a young and upcoming country on the move.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Do female landscape architects design differently than their male counterparts For many decades, this seemingly simple question has been often contemplated, but little answered. The issue remains a major topic of conversation to people in the field of landscape architecture. Although previous scholars have made contributions toward examining the questions of gender, culture and landscape, there has yet to be a definitive work that outlines and explores the potential gender issues that today¿s landscape architecture professionals may encounter. This book attempts to explore the forms, transitions and design approaches that women use when building landscapes. In doing so, it provides a novel perspective to landscape designers of any gender, and encourages them to consider how their innate female personality might potentially influence design thinking. This book will encourage landscape professionals to develop a critical eye for looking at designed forms as cultural vehicles for gender construction.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Since the dawn of man, people have been facing the problems of selection of an optimum alternative, evaluation and ranking. The main purpose of the research presented in this book is to explain the role and significance of multi-criteria decision-making method on a real-life example. It presents theoretical postulates of multi-criteria evaluation with special emphasis on multi-attribute evaluation and multi-attribute decision-making methods (VIKOR, PROMETHEE-GAIA and MAVT). The most favourable variant solution of E-763 highway route at the entrance to Belgrade (the left bank of the Sava River ¿ LOS and the right bank of the Sava River ¿ DOS) has been selected using the three methods. Ranking has been made based on 20 criteria which make the foundation of each alternative evaluation. In this manner the methods have proved a successful tool in the selection of the most favourable alternative. The calcuation was made using VIKOR programme package, Decision Lab programme and MATLAB Decision Theory Toolbox and then the results obtained have been analyzed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -There has also been quite a growing interest in wilderness and wild areas among nature conservationists in the recent period. The importance of wilderness areas is undoubtedly very high and they usually provide several benefits and ecological values. The Carpathians host a few pieces of the last remains of the European wilderness. Most of the large areas that could be qualified as wilderness areas are already parts of established national parks or other types of protected areas. In order to find a sustainable solution for European Wilderness PAN Parks initiative has identified several areas of wilderness in Europe. PAN Parks is certifying the best managed protected areas with the incentive for conservation, tourism and sustainable development. The aim of this publication was to asses the potential of Tatra national park, the oldest national park in Slovakia for PAN Park certification, to find out what it lacks and recommend further steps for increasing the National Park's possibilities for PAN Park certification.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Message number check and message rearranging are basic theory concerning rollback recovery of distributed systems. In previous studies, the consistency of global state is based on the analysis of the dependency relations of message receipt and sending events. To simplify the determination of the global state consistency issue, we proposed message number check theory. Under the FIFO reliable channel assumption, the consistence of global state, can be determined by the number of messages sent and received by each process. In optimistic message protocols, the receipt order of unlogged messages may be lost upon receiver process failure, and the receipt order cannot be recovered if it is lost. To address the problem the loss of message receipt order, We propose an equivalent message sequence to replace original one. In the equivalent message sequence, the messages are rearranged according to the value of sender process¿s improved logic clock. So, the message receipt order can be equivalently recovered by the sender process logic clock upon receiver process failure. Thus, the corresponding protocol can possess the merit of Pessimistic and Optimistic logging protocols simultaneously.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The large majority of infant pyloromyotomies are quickly successful and have few or no significant continuing effects. The lay author Rev. Fred Vanderbom, argues on the basis of his own personal and others¿ experience that for a small number of subjects there are ongoing consequences and pleads for more consideration and research to establish the numbers involved and a suitable response. Constitutional primary hyperacidity is proposed as the cause of this condition which is made more severe by an early insensitivity of an immature neonatal gastrin secretion to the negative feed-back between antral acidity and gastrin. Inappropriate repeated overfeeding of the vomiting baby is a contributory factor. The case for hyperacidity as the cause is argued in the light of the evidence largely accumulated in the last 40 years. A plea is made for the judicious use of acid-blocking drugs in the pre-operative period to reduce alkalosis. It is anticipated that such temporary treatment will in many instances produce a lasting cure.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -After a long period of turmoil, the Balkans recently entered an era of stability and gradual accession to the European Union, an opportunity for the integration of the region and the enhancement of its international strategic location. Towards this purpose, the region¿s transportation system plays a key-role as it formulates the conditions for cohesion and international accessibility. This role is accentuated by the European policy, which sets the context for the upgrade of the transportation system. A decade after the 5th enlargement and in spite of the indisputable progress, specific diversities within the region and significant differentiation in relation to the rest of the European Union are observed. Moreover, the global financial crisis continues to generate direct and indirect pressures on transport development in the region and in the wider European territory. This publication addresses the aforementioned issues and proposes the framework for the formulation of an integrated potential accessibility for the Balkan region.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Residue Number System (RNS), which originates from the Chinese Remainder Theorem, offers a promising future in VLSI because of its carry-free operations in addition, subtraction and multiplication. This property of RNS is very helpful to reduce the complexity of calculation in many applications. A residue number system represents a large integer using a set of smaller integers, called residues. Cost and speed not only depend on this word length, but also the selection of moduli, which is a crucial step for residue system. This parameter determines bit efficiency, area, frequency etc. In this book the special moduli set is used to construct a residue system for digital signal processing environment. Subsequently, it is theoretically proved and illustrated using examples, that the proposed design of recursive and nonrecursive filter design gives results which can be implemented in other fields where high speed computations are required.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Gay and bisexual (GB) male adolescents are at increased risk for engaging in suicidal behaviors, when compared to their heterosexual counterparts. Traditional models of the coming out process suggested that GB male youths are vulnerable to negative mental health outcomes, including suicidality, due to their feelings of estrangement from same-sex peers and the lack of media representation of GB men. However, GB male representations in the media have increased significantly. This review of the literature suggests that this increased representation of GB men may be related to a decision for many GB male adolescents to disclose their sexual orientations at younger ages than previous generations. This may, in turn, contribute to an increase in GB adolescent suicide risk, as early disclosure of sexual orientation is a significant risk factor for suicidal behaviors. This book discusses clinical and societal implications of this finding, recommendations for culturally competent treatment, and limitations of the research.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In this book, ozone generation characteristics using an ozonizer with rotating type of electrodes are presented, included explanation as to why operation with rotating electrodes increases ozone concentration. Questions include which phenomena determine increases in ozone concentration and how ozone generation efficiency can be improved. Characteristics of ozone generation concerning different electrode materials and long-term operation are presented. Understanding of process phenomena will allow control of ozone generation and maintenance of conditions conducive to high ozone concentration using, for example, electrode material, a mix of gasses such as nitrogen. Of importance is to consider the problem of ozone production from different points, looking for new opportunities to increase the efficiency of generation of ozone at lower production costs. One of the most effective methods is to use a reactor with a rotating electrode. Results of experimental studies using a reactor with a rotating electrode to improve the efficiency are presented as well as the possibility of industrial applications.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Children of today indisputably are the custodians of tomorrow's world. The continuous existence of any society depends on the ability of the society to socialize its children in the art of survival and cultural perpetuation. It can be especially challenging for adolescents to establish and maintain competent social interactions because of the many developmental changes that occur. This book examined the effects of Social Skills Training (SST) on two matched groups of juveniles in a detention facility in Ghana. The purpose was to determine whether SST would improve on juvenile delinquent behaviour. Test scores on delinquent behaviour were compared across two groups; (1) 25 juveniles who underwent SST and (2) 25 matched control group of juveniles who did not undergo SST. Participants in the training group underwent a one month SST. Pre and post- test scores on Experimental and Control Groups were obtained. The results supported the hypothesis that overall SST has significant positive effects on juvenile delinquent behaviour. The book would be useful to institutions responsible for youth training, researchers and students of Psychology and Sociology.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Recent literature has found some evidence of performance persistence in hedge funds. This study investigated whether this persistence varies with fund characteristics over the time period from January 2000 to December 2012. We confront hedge funds by a classification based on their strategy issued from a merged sample from the HFR Hedge funds Indexes databases. We use the benchmarked hedge fund indexes returns against the S&P500 to obtain relative returns. Our sample is composed of monthly data, representing 154 observations. Our aim is to analyze the serial correlation of these corrected dataset by running different tests. After a graphical and an autocorrelation analysis, we run a Runs test and compute the Hurst exponent. These methods are both particularly relevant in the analysis of financial series. Finally, by comparing the results of these different approaches, we identify which strategy generates most persistence.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Military service is obligatory for male-citizens and it is one of the most important components of hegemonic masculinity in the Turkish Republic. Conscription is used by the state to construct the citizen identity in the society. As a result it constructs hegemonic masculinity through militarism. However, militaries or militarization processes do not create only ideal citizens but they also create pacifists, rebels or conscientious objection which is directly related to conscription as a modern concept. This study claims that conscientious objection, refusal of the citizenship obligation, is a resistance to hegemonic masculinity, which is tightly related to militarist discourse.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.
