Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book is a personal account of the issues surrounding the DRC's bid for economic independence. The economic problems of the DRC are numerous. They can, however, be organised, and the author attempts to do so on the basis of one problem: that of the search for economic independence for his country, the DRC, firstly in the context of Zairianisation and secondly as a response to the future challenges facing the Congolese economy. Not only in his capacity as an economist and observer, but also as a committed and responsible actor, he offers a pertinent insight into the decisions taken by President Mobutu in November 1973 and December 1974. The author's analysis is harsh but objective. He also suggests alternatives to nationalisation. To succeed, the author suggests thinking about the future in terms of choice, predictability, risk management and commitment to building a peaceful future. Finally, he recommends that the younger generation learn to welcome and accept others in a multi-ethnic Congolese nation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The inerme cactus has been planted for fodder purposes on several tens of thousands of hectares in central Tunisia. These plantings are largely the result of government encouragement, incentives and achievements. Studies on the development of this species worldwide have made it the 'miracle' shrub. Its development in central Tunisia is an immediate obligation, given its total integration into all the region's production systems. A study of the biochemical composition of the various extracts from OFI snowshoes (powder or gel) and fruits showed the presence of high levels of secondary metabolites (total phenols, flavonoids and tannins). These extracts may therefore be effective in inhibiting the development of pathogenic microorganisms or the growth of certain plants. According to the DPPH method, they also have significant antioxidant activity. Our experiments have also shown that mucilage can be used as natural, biodegradable coagulants in water treatment, with a view to reducing the use of chemicals.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Contrary to popular belief, the body is far from being a strictly personal object. Like many aspects of our daily lives, it is subject to societal norms. In the light of these norms, certain characteristics, such as weight and build, can be common or even constant preoccupations for individuals. This raises the question of the extent to which weight norms govern relationships with the body. This study looks at the changing place of the body in society and the social construction of body standards. These differ from period to period, as do the resulting models of beauty. They are disseminated in many ways, not least through the media, which play a central role in promoting the 'desirable body'. Omnipresent in our lives, they constantly affirm and remind us of established standards. The pressure they exert on individuals is at the heart of this research. Through the discourse of our respondents, we analyse the impact of these models, from the discrimination they engender to the bodily practices that result from the quest for the 'perfect body'.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Most companies incorporated in Brazil are of micro and small size, and operate with a family management, which often mixes the company's assets with the partners' assets, making accounting useless to control assets, leaving them unable to know whether the social objective is being achieved. The survey research occurred with the application of a questionnaire, after content validity, pre-test and construct validity. The purpose was diagnosis where dependent and independent variables were verified, and the deductive method was used to validate the hypotheses by the comparative and statistical method with bivariate rules. The result was that family companies actually neglect the entity postulate, according to the analysis of the data collected and the bibliography consulted.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The country's identity crisis has continued with each successive government. The issue of welcoming migrants shows that the possibility of everyone living together, whatever their culture of origin, is not yet fully recognised. Let's advocate greater social cohesion, in particular by combating all forms of inequality. Positive discrimination' policies are many and varied. Quotas in favour of integration certainly clash head-on with the principle of free competition in the private sector, as well as within public services. Nevertheless, they would make it possible to promote the principle of equality in all its dimensions, by encouraging access to social and professional responsibilities for working-class people from priority neighbourhoods. Quotas are perhaps not the best solution to replace anonymity and the drawing of lots to designate our elites. Their brutality is revolutionary. But they do make it possible to re-establish equality of opportunity and to transcend, even pass on, differences and beliefs. They encourage us to devise a whole legal engineering system to remove the obstacles to integration .Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Active belt surveillance around ebola recoveries was carried out in Guinea as a pilot project in 2016. Several organizations supported the Guinean Ministry of Health for this project. As the coordination of these activities is not the most perfect in the world, we approached the healers, the first beneficiaries, to get their perception of this coordination. The work will try to give a proposal of coordination to improve these interventions, specifically in the prefecture of Boké. The eye that describes has had expertise in implementing not only this project, but several other post-Ebola programs in Guinea.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This article interrogates the political deliberation implemented by Soro Guillaume in his text 'Trop est toujours trop' published in Côte d'Ivoire in the print and online press on July 6, 7 and 11, 2017. Articulated around the Aristotelian triptych (ethos, pathos, logos) and inscribed in the descriptive approach of stylistics, argumentative rhetoric and discourse analysis, it presents the central role of the stakes of influence in Soro Guillaume's strategy. He constructs his positioning in the Ivorian political arena in relation to the subjects that circulate within it. The article describes the lineaments of this offensive strategy which, while building the credibility of its author, implicitly discredits his political opponents and their strategies that do not conform to universally accepted values.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Training for adults or young adults is a subject at the heart of the concerns of 90% of individuals. Who hasn't thought of taking a course to improve their skills, change direction or develop professionally In adult training, we talk about andragogy, a combination of Greek words meaning 'the art and science of helping adults to learn', which is the learning relationship between the trainer and the trainee. Every human being who reaches adulthood has acquired knowledge and skills, so they need to be valued and feel recognised. Thanks to two vectors: motivation and commitment on the part of the learner, training will enable specific expectations to be met based on experience (experience, patterns, habitus). Adults must be prepared to undergo a relatively significant change in their identity and career. Training is constantly evolving and must adapt to individual needs. Access to lifelong learning is a right for everyone and should be asserted wherever possible.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book is devoted to the study of the works of the great Renaissance painters Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael Santi, Michelangelo Buonarroti. The Renaissance is called the time of great cultural changes of the XV-XVI centuries, which began in Italy and in time embraced almost all of Europe. During the Renaissance, human values changed significantly. The crisis of humanist Renaissance culture that began in the second quarter of the 16th century was not slow to produce a dramatic change in the very image of Man in art. Renaissance art, moving away from the spiritual traditions of the Middle Ages, glorified the living person and the real world around him. In this era, ancient methods in architecture, construction, sculpture, and other arts and crafts were rethought. The book also provides brief information about the periods in the history of Italian Renaissance culture - ducento (13th century, Proto-Renaissance), trecento (14th century, continuation of the Proto-Renaissance), quattrocento (15th century, Early Renaissance), and cinquecento (16th century, High Renaissance). The book is intended for a wide class of specialists in the field of fine art, painting, as well as fans of Renaissance art.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Kouamé Django is the author of several essays linked to his university training. He denounces domination in all its forms and believes that political activity in Africa is made up of theories formalised in an illogical language that does not fit with reality. As a result, the issues arising from this interpretation need to be assessed, with the emphasis on the establishment of democracy, which is the only way to foster harmonious and homogeneous emergence.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book sets out to define the precise meaning of Sartre's concept of 'being-in-the-world', following its introduction under the impetus of phenomenology, and to show the specific status of this concept in contrast to that established by its initiator, Heidegger. In doing so, he draws heavily on the work that Tony Ferri had already begun on Sartrean thought over twenty years ago, when he was studying philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris IV. The challenge of the approach taken here is twofold. It lies both in highlighting the originality of Sartre's approach to what we might call the question of the world, and, correlatively, in understanding the roots and driving forces of human freedom, as reflected in the major characteristics of the figurehead of existentialism. At a time when naturalisms (racism, eugenics, neo-Darwinism, etc.), fatalism and intolerance are making a comeback, the interest of this book lies in the philosophical reinvestment of one of the greatest philosophies of freedom that our contemporary era has produced.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Dealing with eating disorders is not always an easy task. It requires a great deal of kindness, non-judgement, patience and emotional restraint. Above all, it is essential to define these objectives correctly. Indeed, to think of eliminating thoughts and cravings for food seems unattainable to me, and yet this is often what patients expect from their therapist. When I start therapy, I always make it clear that the aim is not to stop having cravings but to learn to manage them, the aim being to learn to stop eating one's emotions. This article highlights the different reactions and reactions of a patient to cognitive behavioural therapy treatment for her eating disorder following a bariatric operation. It highlights the successive stages of this work, the tools used and some ideas for exercises to be used.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 52 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Narjes Challouf, born in 1992, is a visual artist specialising in media art and a doctoral student in aesthetics and art practice at the Institut Supérieur des Arts de Sousse. This work is mainly concerned with the sense of misappropriation of the videographic image. It is an experimental face produced with new technologies and various disturbing materials such as water, Indian ink and sand.the use of video poses the question of diversion, instability, fluidity and non-constancy. Based on this observation, the fluid texture of the 'electronic' videographic image is constantly changing and reformulated by light and reflection, and flows like water, changing form and state. Key words: Distribution, transition, manipulation, transformation, illusion, diversion, passage, transmission, identifiable, unidentifiable.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The first people to have a formal manifest destiny in History was the Jewish people. It is a case apart, given the divine bestowal of that space. All empires, before and since, have been in a more torrential way, a self-justified manifest destiny. Geopolitics came to give some comfort to the 'vital spaces' of the then present and future and to explain the manifest destiny of the thirteen colonies that revolted until independence.Today's manifest destinies seem more incompatible with each other because the planet has become smaller. The war is now between the old New World Order of Capital over the State and another new world order of the State over capital. After the catastrophe, a despotic and unitarian New World Order will begin again. Only then will the other one begin.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The monograph discusses topical issues of sustainable development of mutually beneficial cooperation between the three countries in the context of the implementation of the Mongolia-Russia-China Economic Corridor Program, adopted in 2016 at the highest political level. The most important global task for Mongolia is to ensure favorable conditions for the formation and development of such a corridor, as well as the construction of a main gas pipeline from Russia to China via Mongolia.Particular attention is paid to the prerequisites and conditions for creating the economic corridor, as well as the formation of the necessary institutions and mechanisms for mobilizing domestic resources to turn the economic corridor into an effective lever of development of the three countries. Specific conclusions are made, on the basis of which the author proposes a new concept of development of the transport corridor 'Mongolia - Russia - China' in modern conditions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book tells the story of how the Atetela behaved according to the will of their ancestors, and consequently respected established social norms. The law prohibiting adultery, for example, could not be broken under any circumstances. The penalty for deviation was death or some similar punishment. But with the arrival of the Europeans, Christianity supplanted these social practices and traditional beliefs of the Atetela, which were no longer of value. Confession ensured the remission of sins, and the sinner obtained salvation through God's forgiveness. Evil was washed away. Faced with this undermining of the traditional Tetela beliefs that kept adultery under control, the author shows that the Atetela resorted to 'lahe' to discourage adultery. An atheistic and retrograde practice in the eyes of the Catholic Christian Church, but one that is making a strong comeback, accompanied by every possible calamity likely to discourage or repress adultery.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -A ponderation on the apparent Brazilian State laicity is presented here, demonstrating the influence of religious belief in the political-legislative sphere from a historical-constitutional perspective. The secular State has a neutral position in the religious field. Also known as the secular State, it preserves the principle of impartiality in religious matters, does not support or discriminate against any religion. It defends the religious freedom of all its own and does not allow the interference of religious currents in socio-political matters - it seeks the democratic rule of law to guarantee fundamental rights. The Constitution affirms the laicity of Brazil - although the religious tradition is still very present and no longer exclusively through the Catholic Church. Therefore, observing the evolution of the State and the main religions over the centuries, it can be seen that they have always been side by side, and even represented in a single body. Even today we have so-called confessional states, in which an official religion is adopted. Therefore, a scenario worthy of knowledge and analysis.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The recurrence of employee suicides caused by stress has highlighted important questions about current management methods. The link between suicide and work remains unclear. However, a general consensus seems to be emerging around this debate. In less than half a century, there has been an explosion in the number of articles devoted to the phenomenon of stress at work in the professional press, as well as investigations and reports, all of which testify to a general awareness. The rapidly changing world of work is said to be the source of a new stress, more deadly than ever before. The seriousness of the phenomenon has prompted us to take a closer look at this risk in the workplace and its repercussions on the individual. More specifically, we are going to look at stress factors and examine a potential determinant of stress: the imbalance between effort and reward (Siegrist, 1996).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Today, peri-urban agriculture appears to be the lifeblood of Bangui's inhabitants. The crisis in the Central African Republic has led to the disappearance of urban activities concentrated in the capital Bangui, a factor in the rural exodus of the 1970s. The deterioration of communication routes with the hinterland limits the supply of food products to the major urban centers. During and after the many socio-political upheavals in Bangui, the peri-urban area was coveted for agro-pastoral activities. In this way, poverty and food insecurity are partly resolved in the city thanks to local agriculture. However, this periphery, which is ideal for agriculture, is under the influence of the urban sprawl of the city of Bangui. The case of the western periphery is appropriate, as this is where urban spatial growth is taking place, while at the same time causing the regression of agricultural space. Farmers are forced to move more than 40 kilometers away to secure their fields in the face of the 'Greater Bangui by 2050' project. This study aims to develop the potential of peri-urban agriculture in the west of Bangui.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The third presidential term has revealed the true nature of the Burundian regime. In order to gain access to an unconstitutional third term, President Pierre Nkurunziza, who was sentenced to death in absentia during the civil war that claimed the lives of more than 300,000 Burundians between 1993 and 2003, organises, coordinates and finances crimes against humanity against his opponents. He rejects out of hand any call for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Often presenting himself as a messianic president and adopting a vulgar populism, the world discovered the true nature of Pierre Nkurunziza's regime during his third term in office. The author deciphers governance under Pierre Nkurunziza and shows that, from the outset, his regime bore within itself the seeds of the country's destruction.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 152 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In the 21st century it is impossible to imagine any design process carried out without the application of computer modelling techniques. Computer modelling is an effective and in-demand tool for creating and studying complex systems. As experience is gained, algorithms and methods of computer modelling are continuously improved, databases are supplemented, which, in turn, leads to improved validity of the results obtained. This book discusses the process of creating a computer model of the production line for Abacavir, one of the effective and sought-after drugs for the treatment of HIV infection. The simulation was carried out on state-of-the-art software, Aspen Hysys V 10 (2017). The book describes in detail the existing methods for the synthesis of Abacavir. The process of creating a model for the production of Abacavir substance in the software package Aspen Hysys V 10 (2017) is described in detail, at the instructional level. A detailed technical and economic description of the Abacavir production line is given. The book will be useful for students, graduate students, researchers and possibly businessmen wishing to invest successfully in Abacavir production.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The threat to natural resources, especially available water resources, is a cause for concern. Thus the need arises for studies that address the forms of appropriation of these territorial spaces in order to discipline the activities potentially harmful to the environment, and to promote appropriate forms of use of spaces in accordance with their capacity for use. To this end, tools are used that can assist in environmental management to promote the improvement of municipal environmental conditions. Within this context, the present research aimed to apply the procedures of thematic mapping with the use of Geographic Information System (GIS), at a scale of 1:10,000, in order to subsidize the decision making in environmental planning of the Micro Hydrographic Basin of Rio Maior, belonging to the Urussanga River Hydrographic Basin, located in the extreme south of Santa Catarina.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Objective: To establish a scientific basis for the antibacterial action of Solanum torvum Swartz (Solanaceae), a medicinal plant used in traditional medicine to treat bacterial infections. Methodology and results: Extracts from this plant were tested on the in vitro growth of strains of E. coli, K. pneumoniae and Salmonella sp in liquid and solid Mueller-Hinton media. The results showed that these extracts had a dose-dependent antibacterial activity on the bacterial strains used. However, the 100% acetone extract had better antibacterial potential on the E. coli strain (MIC = 6.25 mg/mL and BMC = 1.563 mg/mL) than on Salmonella sp (MIC = 3.125 mg/mL and BMC = 6.25 mg/mL) and K. pneumoniae (MIC = 6.25 mg/mL and BMC = 12.5 mg/mL). Conclusion and application of results: This extract can be used to develop phytomedicines against gastroenteritis caused by E. coli and Salmonella sp.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.
