Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Tourism has brought development for Bali¿s economy for many years, however, the economic impacts of tourism development have not been fully beneficial for the Balinese community. One of the causes is tourism leakage. Previous book calculated leakage from micro (industrial level). In this book, tourism leakage from Bali¿s accommodation is calculated at the macro (provincial) level by using SAM Hotels of Bali 2010. The results showed that the highest percentage of tourism leakage was found on 4&5 Star-rated chain hotels (55.32%), followed by 1,2&3 Star-rated hotels (15.66%), and 4&5 Star non-chain hotels (7.15%). The lowest leakage was on Non-star rated hotels (2.0%). These results indicate that 4&5 Star-rated chain hotels bring about more tourism leakage as they use many imported goods and services, foreign labour as well as capital ownership. Therefore, less revenue from tourism will be received by the host or local community, as more profits from tourism will go to outside of the region or country. The results showed that sources of tourism leakage on accommodation sector are capital ownership of accommodation, payment for imported goods and services as well as foreign labours.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Many states in Africa have adopted legislative, administrative and institutional measures to combat trafficking in human beings. These measures include, among other things, the formulation and implementation of both national and regional action plans by African states to provide for comprehensive and coordinated interventions. Many African countries have also enacted an anti-trafficking legislation at the country level. Despite these measures, African women and children have been trafficked annually worldwide for purposes of forced labor, sexual exploitation, and domestic servitude. Additionally, women and children are trafficked within their countries from rural to urban areas. Misconception and abuse of African tradition and culture have been one of the underlying root causes of human trafficking. Cultural practices, such as forcing young girls into ritual servitude, Trokosi (slaves to the Gods), Wahaya (fifth wife), Ukuthwala (kidnapping girls for marriage), payments of dowry, male dominance, female genital cutting, witchcraft, and child marriage, perpetuate the crime of human trafficking.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The phenomenon of bypass is not uncommon in Ugandäs health care system. The health service delivery is structured into referral systems and bypass affects it as patients bypass their primary health care facilities to seek care at higher centres. A patient was deemed to have engaged in bypass, if s/he was not living within a 5 km radius of Lira Regional Referral Hospital (LRRH) catchment area yet chose to seek health services directly from LRRH. The purpose of this study was to explore and generate knowledge on why patients bypass lower public health facility levels and to inform policy and decision making in order to reverse this situation. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study that applied quantitative and qualitative research methods. The study showed that a large proportion of respondents seeking health care services from Lira RRH had bypassed the public lower health facilities. This results into inefficiency in health service delivery at congested health facilities, compromises quality of care, and poor healthcare outcomes. In this book you will find reasons and factors associated with this phenomenon.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In communication networks, security is traditionally divided into three categories: integrity, confidentiality and availability. Potentially, optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) system may provide both confidentiality and availability protection. Therefore, OCDMA has been seen as a superior candidate to offer confidentiality. However, OCDMA techniques still suffer from inherent security disadvantages, such as eavesdropping by an attacker with specific device to intercept and recover the transmitted signals that has been encoded. In this book, a scheme of signature code reconfiguration over OCDMA network is proposed to enhance multiple-users data transmission security.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The novelty of this work lies in the fact that we consider the effect of retrial phenomenon of SUs in performance modeling of radio frequency licensing by using queuing models which takes the unreliability of radio transmission into account. It is focusing on the Priority Queuing Systems. Simulate network traffic is used with MATLAB simulator environment in order to obtain the reduction of the network congestion using queuing theory. A mixed queuing network model has been adopted in order to illustrate a Preemptive Resume Priority (PRP) M/M/C queuing in the licensed spectrum band and the M/M/C retrial queuing in the unlicensed spectrum bands. The simulation was performed using M/M/c models of queue theory. The results observed the dependences of the number of customers in the queue on time and show the Priority queue behaves in unlicensed band. The simulation results illustrated the reduction of the network congestion and the increasing of network performance in the proposed model. Moreover, the performance of the scheme under different scenarios and various parameters such as total delay and channel utilization has been investigated.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In nature, freshwater prawn migrates from river to brackishwater for breeding and the juveniles return back to the river system for growth and development. Prawn move upstream, entering lakes and even paddy fields. Migration of the prawns is induced according to the physiological conditions which are mainly controlled by light intensity and water current. Though biology and physiology of prawns have been discussed at large, no effort has been made so far to study those characteristic behaviors of prawns. Findings of this investigation may help in formulating new strategies while planning and designing water control structures or barrages across the fresh water rivers in estuarine/coastal areas so as to minimize their adverse impact on prawn migration to upstream river side which is essential for completion of prawn life cycle. This study may be also useful in evolving a new system for efficient collection of the prawn brooders/ berried female from the natural resources as well as culture ponds. Apart from being a fundamental research, this investigation has applied values in further development of prawn aquaculture.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The treatment of fistulo in ano necessitates a jaw-dropping experience. You are not allowed to play a 'one trick pony' surgeon, since controlled arrogance does not help here, indeed. Check and balance method will improve your ability to solve the patients' problems. Do not avoid to control your patients, because they know more than the books do. Let your patients be your teachers. They should not be out of sight and out of mind. We have tried not to drown folks with unnecessary material in the present book of disorderly conduct. Do not hesitate to operate on the previously operated patients, since nothing ventured nothing gained. Since fistulo in ano is an ancient disease that tests the patience of both the patients and the most experienced surgeons, most of the surgeons avoid to treat or fake it untill they make it. Therefore tampering the fistulo in ano makes the one-eyed man the king in the country of blind. Learned helplessness in fistulo in ano should not be a glass ceiling for surgeons, because both the disease in a patient and a forgotten treatment modality can recur like a phoenix bird hatching through its ashes. Faith can move mountains.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Many people have experienced hurt of various kinds which they find difficult to deal with. This workshop helps deal with personal pains, hurt and anger, in less extreme circumstances. The exercises in this workshop were also designed to help them do so. It can be adapted as a second level AVP or Trauma Consciousness and Resilience (TCR) workshop which helps participants deal with the psychosocial impact of trauma and other hurts which can form blocks to forgiveness and reconciliation, thus allowing them to move on and continue with their lives. Such personal hurts need to be dealt with before facilitators can help others to overcome similar issues. Experiential methods are used throughout allowing participants to reflect and share their own experience, so that they can learn from it and from the experience of others, while establishing strong links with others in the group for mutual support. The workshop can be offered as a 5, 3- or 2-day workshop, and agendas for both are presented here. Obviously the advantage of the longer workshop is that it allows participants more time to reflect and absorb the learning that takes place, as well as covering more ground.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In Australia and across the world, transformative teachers improve student outcomes by meeting the learning and literacy needs of their students. They know, either explicitly or instinctively, that learning and literacy are inseparable in the creation of cultural assets necessary to access and contribute to the wider community. Transformative teachers tend to know the developmental stages through which they expect their students to progress while appreciating and celebrating each student¿s unique journey. They can define and deconstruct tasks with a broad brush when planning and, with greater finesse at crucial teachable moments, when they are teaching, in other words, they often plan less and teach more. They also provide targeted formative feedback, improving the efficiency of general instruction by customizing learning. Finally, they expertly diagnose specific needs and manage the cognitive load of vulnerable students. Every teacher should be a transformative teacher.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Gender is the variable identified as statistically more significant among the three groups. The article concludes with suggestions for the internationalization of higher education institutions and the marketing implications for tourism destinations in relation to student market.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The emergence of co-operatives the world over was borne out of the need to deal with challenges created by failures in the economies. Its values are based on self-help, self-responsibility, equality, equity and solidarity. Performance of co-operative societies is observed in their roles in the soc-economic and political lives of people. It has been an effective tool for poverty eradication, wealth and job creation and rural development. Studies have shown that it is only a well managed co-operative that can ensure performance. Leaders are expected to exhibit behaviour which should ensure that set objectives of the societies are achieved. The study assessed the relationship between the dimensions of leader behaviour and performance of cooperative societies in Lagos area. Among the findings of the study is that no single dimension of behaviour works in all situation, rather, appropriate behaviour is a function of circumstances at a given time; and that situation influences a leader¿s behaviour just as it moderates the effect of a leader¿s trait. The study is significant in that aspiring leaders will find inspiration in the espoused leadership qualities and dimensions identified.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -There are many peoples who claim to invent some aspects of Grobner theory. The major step was taken by B. Buchberger in the mid of sixties. He formulated the concept of Grobner basis and extends the suggestions of his advisor W. Grobner. The introduction of Grobner basis is analogous to the introduction of i as a solution of the equation x + 1 = 0.Similarly for solving the Ideal Membership problem in polynomial rings the Grobner basis for ideal was introduced. But one can see that the vast arrays of other problems are also solved by using Grobner basis.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -True stress-strain curves of two natural gas pipeline steels were studied using the 3D-DIC (digital image correlation) technique. During the test, the steels are continuously strained hardening up to the fracture, and true stress-strain curves are obtained. It is found that the true stress increases with strain after necking, which is notably different from the results obtained by the conventional method. Using the FEM model, the true stress-strain curves were validated. Based on the material¿s inherent properties, the material property analysis is implemented. The content of this book could improve the understanding of material properties, and learn more about testing methods. The material properties were the basis for the Engineering Critical Assessment of pipeline. So the data and method was very important for the integrity and safety assessment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Different languages encode meanings in various forms. The translators are to find the appropriate ways of preserving the meaning in each language, source and target ones, and decode it. Consequently, the form and the code may be changed while the meaning must remain unchanged.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Due to inadequacy of data on the effectiveness of medicines regulatory systems in Zambia, this study was framed. The aim was to evaluate legislative provisions for medicines regulation under three legal-regulatory-frameworks in place over the period from 1995 to 2015. The study was structured in two distinct phases: the first involved document review of available legislation and secondary data relevant to the subject matter, covering the study period; the second involved a questionnaire survey for health practitioners to gather opinions on the effectiveness of the medicines regulatory systems in Zambia. Assessment of secondary data reported by Ministry of Health, and World Health Organisation on treatment outcomes and medicines regulation was conducted. Although it is not a very comprehensive review of the regulatory systems in one country, this book provides a basis for regulators, public health enthusiasts and social readers to reflect and generate ideas around medicines regulation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 128 pp. Englisch.
