Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Access to land is governed by tenure arrangements affecting the production and productivity of the farm. Gaining access through renting in has both positive and negative implications. In Nepal, sharecropping is widely practiced in Mid Western Region, but there is a gap in academic study as to whether this benefits the farmers and makes them food sufficient. In this context, this study attempts to find out the implications of land tenure concerning agricultural households on food sufficiency through a field study in the sampled area. The major findings are that while secured land tenure very importantly affects the livelihood of land-dependent people, this secured tenure alone is not sufficient for them to attain food sufficiency if that land is unproductive. Family size, land size, type of land and type of tenure governs land tenure system in such a way that these were found to have a tremendous impact in household food sufficiency. A more in-depth research in these areas is needed that would contribute to better understanding of the nexus between secured tenure and the household food security. 108 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Participatory strategies have not always yielded therequisite outcomes despite its importance. Over theyears, issues such as elite capture, inadequateinformation for actors and window dressing by policymakers have plagued this development tool. In thisregard, the paper reviews citizen participation usingtwo donor funded programmes in India and Angola.Also, it analyses specific concepts linked to citizeninvolvement in the design, planning andimplementation of programmes. Accordingly, the studyrevealed that both projects improved the lives ofpeople and met a range of needs such as establishmentof credit schemes, schools and electrificationexpansion projects. Nonetheless, there werechallenges such as the low level of capacity ofcitizens and local bodies as well as lack ofcoordination of institutional actors. Despite themerits, participation ought not to be mandatory butused selectively. Additionally, it brought to lightthe significance of local government in communitydevelopment and the need to equip it with human andfinancial resources. This book is therefore a mustread for policy makers, development experts,non-governmental actors, academics and students. 96 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The practice of Mothering is largely persuaded by some specific expectations whether the woman is employed or not. Such assertions are more provident in case of care work and particularly for Child care work. Present study explores the dynamics of child care options for service holder urban mothers in Bangladesh. Available formal and non-formal options to raise pre-school children are brought in to focus. Government policy interventions are also examined in this regard. The large-scale entry of women into the work force in last two decades has vitally changed the fabric of work and family life in Bangladesh. Present study investigates the other side of economic empowerment; the space of mothers in between family and work. In fact it is an attempt to unlash, how care works pave the way from a successful, long aspired career to non-employment and downward occupational mobility; how an employed mother pays to perform politically induced set of social roles centered on care work Finally, it sets forth the notion that mothering and care work is fascinated in much extent 80 pp. Englisch.…

As a result the funds are exploited by the management for its own ends. It is an effort to put some light on the dividend paying behavior of the companies in the developing countries particularly in Pakistan. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Natural resource booms can be important catalysts for development in poor countries, and abundance in natural resources should intuitively lead to increased economic growth for the country with such lucky endowments. However, developing countries that are blessed with natural resources are, paradoxically and with a few exceptions, likely to experience slow economic growth, repress their people and suffer from frequent conflict. This research paper discusses if and how the discovery and extraction of natural resources in Sudan has affected the motivation and dynamics of the country's violent civil conflicts. By using resource curse theory together with conflict theory and empirical data from Sudan, this paper argues that natural resources have had strong aggravating effects on the country's conflicts. These effects have been both direct (through changing the economic means and motivations behind the conflicts) and indirect (through the mechanisms of the resource curse). 96 pp. Englisch.…

It was amazing to see the family who moved from slums in Golshahr, Mashhad to this beautiful doll-house in Sweden! These Afghan women moved a long way in world. Having a part in facilitation of their resettlement process as a staff of UN Refugee Agency, I could meet them as urban refugees in their slums in refugee populated areas in Iran. Then, I found them in Sweden and met them in their nice clean houses. This book tries to dig into the experience of migration for the women coming from a traditional society marked by extreme poverty and lack of education and their efforts to integrate in highly modernized Swedish society. I followed women headed Afghan families who are resettled as quota refugees from Iran to Sweden. However, access to facilities and the material abundance is part of the integration game. These women have a long way to be a real part of the new society. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In light of increasing calls for corporate governance of banks and the current financial crisis rooted in failures of governance mechanisms, this paper investigates the structure of the internal control system of banks. I have used a sample of nine leading banks operating in the Italian market to understand the most important characteristics and the mechanisms of integration concerning the internal control system. According to the empirical evidences, various mechanisms and elements of the internal control system were found to contain weaknesses. In particular, the first-level of control appears scarcely structured and lacks a clear definition of roles and responsibilities. Moreover, the mechanisms of organizational and operating integration were developed in only a few cases. Therefore, the Italian banks must promptly focus their attention on strengthening these two areas through tailored actions to ensure the safe and sound management of corporate risks. This paper also suggests to banking industry professionals a framework and some recommendations for the implementation of an effective and integrated internal control system in banks. 116 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, like many other developing countries face difficulties in raising tax revenue for public purposes. This study uses panel data for fourteen SADC countries during 1994-2005 to analyse empirically the determinants of tax buoyancy in developing nations. Among the variables identified as affecting annual tax buoyancy is monetization, with empirical results confirming its importance. The results have shown that the way monetization is handled in the developing nations affects annual tax buoyancy negatively. Other variables that have been found to be affecting tax buoyancy in developing nations include the growth in the agricultural and industrial sector contribution to national income, external aid growth, growth of fiscal deficit and growth of total expenditure. The determinants of tax buoyancy have been suggested following the tax handle theory advice. The study yielded such results because quality dimension of tax performance have been considered, which has been neglected by many previous authors . 100 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Since the starting of accession talks in 3 October 2005, Turkey's bid to the European Union has been a long contested debate. This book analyzes the European Union's CFSP and Turkey's relations with the EU from a rational institutionalist perspective. What is known as the European Union today has come a long way from being merely trade club to an economic and political entity on its own right. Within this respect, the research question in this book demonstrates that, the European Union started out with an administrative body to manage the common market on steel and coal, and in less than a half- century turned out to be a complex network of institutions where member states transferred some of their competences to this supranational level. In the EU's urge to form a more robust common foreign and security policy, a possible inclusion of Turkey in the EU will bring strategic benefits as well as possible costs linked with it. In other words, the Turkish accession to the EU will bring substantial material benefits to European security and this acts as a factor influencing member state preferences, and to a certain extent the public's view towards Turkey. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In recent years, data have become increasingly larger in both number of instances and number of features in many applications. This enormity may cause serious problems to many machine learning algorithms with respect to scalability and learning performance. Therefore, feature selection is essential for the machine learning algorithms while handling high dimensional datasets. Many traditional search methods have shown promising results in a number of feature selection problems. However, as the number of features increases extremely, most of these existing methods face the problem of intractable computational time. Since no single feature selection method could handle all requirements of feature selection in real world datasets, hybrid methods prsented here are the tested methods for effecive Feature Selection.One viable option is to apply a ranking feature selection method to obtain a manageable number of top ranked features which could be further handled by traditional feature selection methods for further analysis. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As a model for interactions present in the active site of orotidine-5 -monophosphate decarboxylase (ODCase), we investigated the effects of substrate destabilization by a nearby negative charge and stabilization of the carbanion intermediate, due to hydrogen bonds to the carbonyl groups (O-2 and O-4) of orotic acid and its decarboxylation product, using ab initio calculations. Results from these models were comparable with available data, suggesting that the magnitude of the decarboxylation rate enhancement depends on a combination of the charge distance and hydrogen bonding effects. We found that the dipole moment of the proton donor may also play a significant role, implying that the key to the rest of the catalysis lie within the specific interactions of the substrate and the surrounding residues. 68 pp. Englisch.…
