It is also a remarkable logistic feat for the Saudi Kingdom. How does this annual event combine with the transformations of the modern world In this short book the author charts the changes that have altered the Hajj from the ancient camel caravans to the contemporary motorised and air conditioned pilgrimage it is today. Looking at historic accounts, politics, health, transportation, and the experiences of Muslims living in Britain, this work provides a nuanced overview of the contiguity of the Hajj. This book is an excellent introduction to the broad scope of issues that Hajj studies entail. It is of interest to those curious about the pilgrimage, and an asset to specialists with its rich array of sources and interpretation. 88 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This report is based on the outcomes of a regional workers' education training workshop held at the Tom Mboya Labour College, Kisumu, Kenya and organized by the Bureau for Workers' Activities of the International Labour Organization and the Workers' Activities Programme of the International Training Centre in Turin. The aim was to trade unions in English-speaking Africa to bridge what has been described as the Digital Divide: the gap between developed and developing countries in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). One important outcome of the workshop was that, the bridge of the digital divide will only be shortened if trade unions design and co-ordinate the ICT agenda at the workplaces. The conventional wisdom must be that information technology must be seen to be important for all trade union operations, ranging from membership recruitment and organising, delivery of services, collective bargaining, research, training and education, to political campaigns and maintenance of democratic principles. Trade unions must also take information technology as a critical force in shaping their relevance in the future. 132 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The awareness of proper tire inflation among motorists has increased exponentially due the safety and benefits could be earned in return. This book presents Automatic Tyre Pressure Controller (ATPC) which limits pressure in the tire regardless of pressure set on the kiosk. ATPC can be used with manual inflators/compressors, where it will automatically alert user upon reaching appropriate tire pressure. ATPC has won few innovation medals and awards internationally. To make tremendous advancement and improvement on ATPC, the authors/researchers have innovated a technique/device called Automatic Tyre Inflation System (ATIS) which can automatically (autonomously) inflate tires to the desired precise pressure while the car is on move. Thus, the user could benefit three in one featured device in coming nearest future. The conceptual design of ATIS has been a center of attraction in innovation exhibitions with its unique and beneficial features. The principals, sketches, designs and concepts of ATPC and ATIS are illustrated clearly in this book. This work can benefit engineering developers of tire inflation technology which is dominant for motoring safety and profitable business. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study determined the accuracy of non-exercise VO2max prediction equations with measured maximal oxygen uptake values in long distance runners. Eight male volunteer ULM cross country athletes performed a VO2max test and had their body composition measured utilizing the three site Jackson-Pollock skinfolds equation. The participants completed a modified version of the physical activity rating questionnaire to assess physical activity for the previous month. Activity levels included values for sedentary lifestyle (PA-R = 0) to running 60 miles per week (PA-R = 14). Non-parametric (Spearman's rho) correlations were used to analyze relationships between measured VO2max values and non-exercise prediction equations. The correlation between measured VO2max values and a multiple regression equation, featuring body mass index and the runners' physical activity rating (PA-R) was significant (r = .762) at the p .05 level. Therefore, estimation of aerobic fitness from non-exercise equations is an accurate method for measuring the aerobic fitness of collegiate cross country runners. 60 pp. Englisch.

Bakhtin, emphasizing the influence of his Christian faith on the ideas that would later comprise dialogism. The ethical relationship between author and hero, and hero and the world, informs the freedom-preserving embodiment of an internally persuasive discourse that defies authoritative discourse. For Bakhtin Christ epitomizes that embodiment, and an analysis of two Russian works in which Christ appears as a character - Dostoevsky's The Grand Inquisitor and Bulgakov's Master and Margarita - illustrates this idea. 76 pp. Englisch.

The study reveals that the artistes skillfully use language alternation strategies to enhance the aesthetic and rhetorical qualities of their music. It is also revealed in the study that the language alternation patterns involve major Nigerian languages and English, and, they interact with elements of the lyrical structure viz the lines, rhymes and stanzas to enhance the musical qualities of the artistes works. Language alternations have other connotations as they also bear the qualities of identifying the artistes linguistic identity and preferences. It also has semantic significance, as when some lexical items are used to highlight codeswitching occurrences like transfer and borrowing. Language alternation also highlights contrastive and expressive codeswitching as well as reformulations and repetitions. It is also used to achieve a greater audience/participant constellation and greater understanding of the discourse/message of the song.Finally, the work discusses the strategies of language alternation in language planning and policy formulation in Nigeria. 104 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In contemporary Estonian education there are currently two types of CLIL programs one which is based on a foreign language, such as the English language, and the other being based on a national language, i.e. the Estonian language. Although there is a longstanding tradition of CLIL in Estonia, the study of CLIL programs is in its infancy. At present, the research has been focusing only on the implementation of Estonian-based CLIL syllabi while no research has been conducted about the foreign language based CLIL programs in Estonia. Thus the current work attempts to study the application of English-based CLIL in Estonian secondary schools. The focus of the book is primarily on analyzing the application of CLIL from Estonian teachers' perspective and presenting a profile of Estonian CLIL teacher. The target groups for the book would be professionals who are interested in studying the daily practices of CLIL teachers, or anyone who would like to gain knowledge about content-and-language-integrated learning. 80 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This dissertation is about the architecture of the Swahili peoples living along the eastern coast of Africa. Specifically, it explores the links and relationships between oral traditions, rituals and the built environment of the Waswahili (sing. Mswahili) or the people of the coast'. The ambiguous' and anomalous' identity of the Waswahili raises important questions on the definition and the understanding of Swahili architecture. To understand Swahili architecture, one must, first, understand the language and identity of the Waswahili. This dissertation makes use of new sources for the interpretation of the built environment of the Waswahili as depicted in the standing 18th century buildings in Lamu town, the oldest living town on the eastern coast of Kenya. Designated on UNESCO's World Heritage List, Lamu has a unique architecture that has often been misinterpreted and misunderstood, and such studies often lack authenticity. This dissertation is an attempt to bridge the gap between the identity and the built environment of the Waswahili and to portray Swahili architecture through oral discourse. 260 pp. Englisch.

However, these valuable experiences and efforts are seldom shared with the academic community. This action research project aimed at establishing in a precise, rational and consensual way the linguistic and communicative levels that the students of the English Teaching Course of a Latin American University could attain at the end of each of the four years of study. Specifically, the teachers and students were involved in thought-provoking dialogues to discuss the development of skills in English, taking into consideration their needs, the national Ministry of Education policies and the Common European Framework for Languages. The voices of the students and the teachers can be heard throughout the study, as their concerns and proposals found here a channel of expression. The issues raised were confronted with the views of TEFL experts. These ideas and paths of action can be useful, encouraging and inspiring for institutions who have committed their efforts to raise the quality of initial teacher training and development. 64 pp. Englisch.

With regards to math ability and performance on the Ohio Proficiency Math test, it has been shown that students who have individualized interests in musical intelligence (instrumental, appreciation, musicality, and vocal) and visual intelligence (artistic design, construction, and imagery), earn higher math scores - a positive effect on the math portion of the Ohio Proficiency test. This book provides an investigation into musical and visual intelligences and the benefits of offering arts-based classes in traditional schools. It also provides a colorful picture that students who are involved in arts-based classes not only enjoy school a lot more, they progress in ways which were originally thought impossible. 116 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The extensive research in this book argues that Ashura rituals do not represent the embodiment of a culture of death; they represent a spiritual awakening, strengthening faith by condensing and intensifying religious events, and empowering the Shia identity. Ashura rituals are not merely rituals of lamentation or a source of salvation and redemption, but are an inspiring force with dynamic principles used as a popular platform to effect changes in the socio-political sphere. This book probes into the historical evolution, in form and content, of Ashura Rituals and reveals the three major stages through which Ashura rituals have passed. This objective is accomplished by using a model derived from Emile Durkheim's social ritual theory that explains how rituals transform knowledge into belief and membership into belonging. It reveals how Ashura rituals are constructed, embraced, and evolved as well as how they are shaping Shia identity and communal sense. The analysis should help shed some light on Shia rituals and identity, and should be especially useful to policy makers and military leaders, or anyone seeking to understand Shia world. 108 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Service-learning and campus-community partnerships are dramatically changing the way universities educate students, use their resources, and involve their neighbors. A plethora of ethical issues arise with this new emphasis on real-world engagement, for these interactions usually involve wealthy, elite institutions of higher education operating in what are often poor, urban areas. This dynamic is rife with potential pitfalls. While these problematic areas are often acknowledged in the literature, the one voice frequently missing from the greater dialogue is the community itself, the very people on the receiving end of a university's efforts. This work seeks to incorporate that voice into the larger conversation regarding the ethics of service-learning. Taking Stanford University's involvement in East Palo Alto as a case study, it uses unique testimonies from community members to better understand the relationship in all of its facets. 64 pp. Englisch.

It involves a separation- individuation process which the individual tries to earn his or her independency from the emotional social and family context that he or she lives in. In this present research, the main aim is to identify the relationship between family relations and parenting styles with drug use behaviour in young adulthood. Family relations of young adult drug users and non-drug user healthy young adults were compared. Findings suggest that drug using young adults had worse family relations when compared with non-drug user young adults. Findings of this study emphasize the effect of negative family relations on drug use as a risk in young adulthood. This study contains important informations for further drug addiction treatment programs and studies. 116 pp. Englisch.

Politische und administrative Zentralisierung, wirtschaftliche Globalisierung - dies sind Prozesse, die unmittelbar für das Leben und Überleben der Sprachen Europas relevant sind. Die Sprachenfrage und die Sprachenpolitik der EU kann nur dann sinnvoll diskutiert werden, wenn sie als Fortsetzung der nationalen Sprachenpolitiken verstanden werden. Die Nationalstaaten nehmen eine 'Zwischenposition' ein: im europäischen Kontext verfechten sie in aller Regel Plurilinguismus, im nationalen Kontext dagegen sprachliche und kulturelle Homogenität innerhalb ihrer Grenzen. In diesem Buch wird die soziolinguistische Forschung mit den rechtlichen und verwaltungspraktisch relevanten Entscheidungen der EU kontrastiert. Die europäische Sprachenproblematik wird in einem Feld situiert, das durch antagonistische Pole aufgespannt wird: supranationale vs. nationale vs. regionale Identität; identitätsstiftende vs. pragmatische Ziele; verwaltungsinterne vs. bürgerbezogene Entscheidungen. Ein entschiedenes Plädoyer für eine 'neue Sprachenpolitik' der EU rundet diese sorgfältig recherchierte, kohärente, und engagierte Betrachtung ab. 92 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work is aimed at showing that although natural selection does not satisfy the strict criteria for scientific explanations according to the so-called covering law theory, it meets some broader criteria for scientific explanations latent in the history of the actual practice of both natural and social sciences explicitly propounded in the methodological pragmatism of Charles Sanders Peirce. To the extent that it meets such criteria, I argue that to the same extent, natural selection is a scientific theory. Scientific inquiry was carried on long before logical positivism was born. While we acknowledge positive contribution to the economy and logical vigour on the part of the covering-law model, the functional comprehensiveness of scientific inquiry latent (even if not explicitly stated) in Peircean pragmatism cannot be over-looked. The study explores the requirements of the covering-law theory which demands that, for any theory to qualify as scientific, it must invoke a general law in addition to its premises being known to be true. These two requirements natural selection fails to meet. Consequently, it fails to qualify as scientific according to this criterion. 112 pp. Englisch.

At the height of what is often termed the Progressive Era the theater became a battleground for social reformers and their opponents in cities throughout the South. In Dallas, reform efforts directed towards the theater actually began during the 1890s and grew considerably in the following decades, as the theater industry entered into one of its most successful eras. Not unlike other cities, the theater represented the pinnacle of Dallas's cultural progress by bringing in nationally renowned entertainers and films, and by presenting a wide spectrum of entertainment to audiences, particularly through variety shows, vaudeville, and motion pictures. For many progressive reformers, however, the theater represented a corrupting force in an already modernizing and increasingly decadent world. Therefore, it is no surprise that one of the most popular and modern forms of entertainment available, the theater, encountered some of the harshest criticism from reformers. 112 pp. Englisch.

The author, draw on examples from research in humanities and education and current issues to provide researchers with basis for appreciating how research applies to today's concerns. The need for creating graduates that are well trained in all aspects of research, albeit at the fundamental level is an important tenet of university education. It is in this light that this book, Research Methods in Humanities and Education, is perceived. The book has been designed to provide the fundamental knowledge, skills and assist in the development of values for appreciating research not only as an academic activity, but also a necessary aspect of socio-economic and political life of the individual. This is because research has been acknowledged as a vital component of the development process.

In short, the vocabulary acquisition process becomes increasingly more difficult when the target language is an endangered language spoken by a small community of speakers and the learner is a native speaker of an Indo-European language and, culturally, a Westerner (or an outsider to the indigenous community). In this case study, a Western learner begins to learn the Nahuatl language, a language once the lingua franca of pre-conquest Mexico and currently an indigenous language spoken by approximately 1.2 million people in modern-day Mexico. The case study follows the Western learner's attempts in an informal and a formal environment over the course of one year and demonstrates the successes and failures of this Western learner as he acquires vocabulary in the Nahuatl language. 116 pp. Englisch.

Local Church Digital Justice: Chikuni Parish as Case Study, therefore, has been written for all the faithful who care about evangelization in the contemporary information society. It serves satisfactorily as an introductory debate on the use of Information Communication Technology in parish ministry. 64 pp. Englisch.

Because the skills are verbal rather than quantitative and require subjective judgments, they are more difficult to assess accurately and consistently. Quality assessments require extended dialog and learning to develop a thorough understanding of the criteria and how to recognize them in context. Without a deep level of understanding, it is impossible for high school teachers to know whether their students is are adequately prepared for college. This is made possible by technology, which allows faculty to work on their own schedules, from home or anywhere they have high-speed Internet access. This initial research shows promise for a method of assessing very complex, detailed, extended student work that encompasses all the learning outcomes faculty value, while remaining flexible, convenient, and quite cost-effective. Teachers in the study not only achieved very high rates of inter-rater reliability (around 0.90), but also displayed deeper insight into their students' learning and their own roles as teachers. 56 pp. Englisch.

The question of who should give feedback and in what manner has been dealt with in this book. It presents an action research perspective on one particular type of feedback administered on students' essays. This book is founded on the premise that an effective teacher is one who can enable his/her learners to become autonomous. For students to construct knowledge, they need the opportunity to discover for themselves and practice skills in authentic situations. Providing students access to hands-on activity like indirect feedback creates an opportunity for individual discovery and construction of knowledge to occur. While this book does not provide an unequivocal answer as to which type of feedback is best, as that would depend on the context, it does prove through the experiment that indirect feedback enables autonomy in learners at an advanced level of proficiency. This book provides a valuable source of information based on practical research for teachers, researchers and others interested in the field of second language writing. 112 pp. Englisch.

The story'' hovers between fiction and autobiography, though the reader is never sure where one ends and the other begins. Mavrikakis''s subject death and mourning is the extension of her previous academic work, particularly her study of the French author, Hervé Guibert, who wrote a trilogy of novels based on his personal battle with AIDS. Critics responded favourably to Mavrikakis''s new work, praising the superior quality of the author''s writing, the sardonic humour she maintains in the face of all the dying, and her interesting use of cultural allusions that demand familiarity with intellectual and popular icons. This book places Mavrikakis''s work within the context of new and established literary genres: thanatological writing, elegy and plague fiction, and AIDS-infected literature, and specifically, Guibert''s novels. The difficulties and challenges met during the translation process are explored. The English translation of the first half of this remarkable book is included with two excerpts that have special significance to the thrust of Mavrikakis''s fiction. 112 pp. Englisch.
