Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Sozialwissenschaften allgemein, Note: 1,7, Universität Augsburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der Forschungsarbeit geht es um die Konzepte Staatsbürgerschaft und Identität, die durch das Phänomen der Entgrenzung zunehmend unter Druck geraten und herausgefordert werden. Dabei ist Staatsbürgerschaft und Entgrenzung ein sehr gegensätzliches Begriffspaar, welches sich durch ein beständiges Spannungsverhältnis auszeichnet.Staatsbürgerschaft kann als ein historisch gewachsenes Konzept angesehen werden, dessen Genese mit dem Aufkommen des modernen Nationalstaats einherging. Analog dazu entwickelte sich das herkömmliche Verständnis kollektiver Identität. Das Phänomen der Entgrenzung hingegen ist deutlich jünger und konstituiert sich durch mehrere jüngere Entwicklungen, als da wären Transnationalisierung, Globalisierung und Europäisierung. Dabei wird in der praktischen Umsetzung des Forschungsvorhabens insbesondere auf Letztere eingegangen, da die Rückwirkungen der Europäisierung insbesondere bei der jüngeren Generation Deutschlands eine gewichtige Rolle spielt und deren Sozialisation außerdem nachhaltig geprägt hat.An dieser Stelle setzt das Erkenntnisinteresse der Forschung an, dabei interessiert in erster Linie das Vorhandensein der europäischen Identität, sowie deren Ausprägung. Dass neben der unbestreitbar vorhandenen nationalen Identität, eine europäischen Parallelidentität im Begriff ist sich zu entwickeln, scheint ebenfalls gesichert. Allerdings besteht Uneinigkeit über die Gestaltung derselben sowie ihrer jeweiligen Art der Ausprägung. In der Forschungsarbeit soll zwischen mehreren möglichen Ausprägungsarten unterschieden werden, um dem diffus vorhandenen europäischen Identitätskonzept etwas mehr Kontur zu verleihen. Anfangs soll zuerst das Bestehen einer europäischen Identität festgestellt werden, um daraufhin eine Tendenz des identitären Bezugsrahmens innerhalb dreier Ausgestaltungsformen herauszuarbeiten. Dabei soll unterschieden werden zwischen Wirtschaftsbündnis, Wertegemeinschaft und politischem Bündnis. Dies soll im Fokus der vorliegenden Forschungsarbeit stehen, erfragt durch Erfahrungen und Beweggründe jüngerer deutscher Erwachsener, die den identitären Bezugsrahmen zur Europäischen Union beeinflussen und bestimmen. 44 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Film Science, University of Calcutta, language: English, abstract: This paper attempts to semiological study the multiple layers of meanings and functions in Ghatak¿s seminal film,' Subarnarekha '(1962) and explore the impact of Partition and the tragic predicament of the innumerable immigrants which has been portrayed through the skilful cinematic technique in which Ghatak has blended melodrama with social realism. In addition, it is also aimed at discussing the linkage between communication and semiotics and is expected to generate positive contributions in underlining the significance of semiotic theory and further researches in related fields or specific areas. Ritwik Kumar Ghatak, the maverick Bengali filmmaker remains one of the most celebrated cinematic auteurs of Indian cinema. Dismantling the conventional constructs of commercial cinema, Ghatak along with Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen laid the foundation of the ¿alternative¿ or ¿parallel¿ cinema in Bengal during the 60s and 70s. The majority of Ghatak¿s films focus on the post-Independence Bengali family and community, with a sustained critique of the emerging petite bourgeoisie in Bengal, specifically in the urban environment of Kolkata. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: 75.0, University of Ghana, Legon, language: English, abstract: This paper analyzes the security issues and its reasons for the region West Africa. Furthermore the author explains the trade agreement Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and its impacts as well as solutions.ECOWAS was formed on May 28, 1975 to promote economic integration in West Africa. The realization of this economic integration agenda was largely due to Nigeriäs regional leadership in West Africa. However, Nigeriäs attempts were met with stiff opposition from the Francophone bloc led by Cote d¿Ivoire with support from France in the 1970s. Though often blown out of proportion, there has historically been a raging antagonism between the Anglophone and Francophone blocs in West Africa. On its part, fearing Nigeriäs domination in any West African integration scheme, France supported Cote d¿Ivoire¿s hostility towards Nigeria. In a February-March 1971 tour in most of the former French colonies, President Pompidou warned against Nigeriäs domination and urged them to harmonize their efforts to counter balance the heavy weight of Nigeria. The result was the formation of West African Economic Community¿s (CEAO) in 1973. In the words of Engel and Jouanjean (2015), France perceived Nigeria as a major threat to its chasse gardée, French West Africa, as it made use of Cote d¿Ivoire¿s economic might and Senegal¿s cultural heritage. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 100, , course: Political Economics, language: English, abstract: This article made comparison between ¿embedded liberalism' and ¿neoliberalism'. The article also traced the basis for the shift from ¿embedded liberalism' to the emergence of ¿neoliberalism'. In order for the government to intervene in economic policies matters; democracy was the driving force for the spread of embedded liberalism. Macroeconomics was introduced by the government of advanced economies to address three critical areas of the economic policies, namely: inflation, market output, and unemployment. The other aspect of this period was to win the cold war and to empower the United States as the global hegemon. The departure from embedded liberalism to neoliberalism in 1971 was due to domestic economic pressure of the US. President Nixon¿s administration ended the ¿convertibility of the dollar into gold' policy regime. The government had to float the dollar in the international market allowing market forces to determine the value of the dollar currency. The administration of Reagan and Thatcher institutionalised ¿neoliberalism' as an alternative to ¿embedded liberalism'. The adoption of ¿neoliberalism' led both administrations to implement monetary policies which led to stripping labour from further threatening the economies of the United States and the United Kingdom with inflation. The overall implications were increased profits for capitalists or entrepreneurs as against employees of the labour market. The analysis revealed that there was an increased unemployment rate due to high-interest rates and deliberate policies to encourage recession in order to forestall inflation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Sociology - Children and Youth, grade: A, Kenyatta University, language: English, abstract: The primary aim of this study is to explain the effect of bullying on girls in secondary schools. To achieve this aim, it is important to acknowledge that bullying is understood differently among different groups of people especially among students. For instance, what one person may consider to be bullying could be considered as normal behaviour by another person. Due to this, it is important to gather data from a wide range of sources and large samples to understand the extent of impact of bullying on girl students. Meanwhile, the study shall also examine the social interaction patterns which are affected by bullying in secondary schools. Hence, the researcher intends to explore the perception of bullying among girls in secondary schools and to assess how bullying affects girls in secondary schools physically, mentally, and socially. In general, the researcher¿s primary goal was to answer the question which impact bullying has on girls in secondary schools Bullying and harassment are common issues in many secondary schools in the United Kingdom. In fact, for many years, bullying was viewed as a common feature in schools and was overlooked as a threat to students. In some societies, it was believed that bullying is one of the developmental stages that young people must get over. However, a considerable number of people often fails to get over the personal trauma that results from bullying. 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Seminar 'West in Fiction', language: English, abstract: In this paper I want to describe how the Cold War shaped the depiction of violence, masculinity and society in the movie ¿3:10 to Yumä. I will argue that this movie not only criticizes the Korean War and the Cold War in general, but I will also showcase how societal anxieties of an escalation, for example in the form of a nuclear strike, are processed. I will argue that the idealism of Cold War liberalism, which stands in stark contrast to communism, is shown in this movie and that it shapes the way masculinity is portrayed and favored. In this way, the movie can be analyzed as a mirror both of societal processes and anxieties, and perceptions of ideal masculinity of the American culture in the 1950s. 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Region: Near East, Near Orient, grade: 1,0, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, course: Modernity and Islam - Status of Relationship: 'It's Complicated', language: English, abstract: In this paper it will be examined that Islam is a stumbling block in the way of the secularization process in Syria. Syria is choosen firsty, because many scholars and writers actually claim that Syria is already a secularist country which is a highly controversial and debatable claim. Secondly, because the (political) Islam in Syria does not have the same power it has in other Muslim Arabic countries and this makes Syria a somehow good candidate for becoming a secularist country.This paper contains four main chapters and it is structured as follows: After the introduction, in the first chapter secularism and secularization is briefly defined and then it will explained why the religion Islam and the (political) Islam cannot be separated. In the second chapter it is presented the point of view which says that Islam is deep inside incompatible with secularism. On the contrary side, namely in the third chapter, it is presented the other point of view which claims that Islam can very well come along with secularism. The fourth chapter will be the conclusion. Furthermore, a connection with Syria based on the content of the chapters will be made at the end of the first and the last chapter.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Theology - Hinduism, grade: 2,1, University of Hildesheim, language: English, abstract: The following paper will deal with the concept of the cycle of birth, death and rebirth in the Hindu religion, as Hindus, in contrary to the Western cultures and monotheistic religions, believe that there is life after death, and before the present life, there was a beforelife because they believe that it does not make sense that people suddenly appear from nowhere, meaning not the biological body, but the ¿soul¿ or the ¿spirit¿.First, a definition of the different concepts of afterlife in different metaphysical models and of the term reincarnation from its semantic point of view and, how it is defined in other religions, will be given. Furthermore, Hinduism, itself, will be introduced, as it is important to understand the essence of this religion to be able to understand the concept of reincarnation. Additionally, the concept of reincarnation will be described. That includes the processes of birth, death and rebirth.Finally, the arguments in favor and against the theory of reincarnation will be discussed.The question, about what happens after death, is a philosophical one, which has been worrying humanity for centuries. By trying to categorize the different concepts, regarding what happens after death, three concepts, varying among cultures and religions, can be differentiated.First, there is the concept of denial which states that the existence of the individual ends with their death, as it is widely believed in the Western world.The second one is the concept of completion - in many religions, as, for example, in Christianity, the human life is seen as a preparation for a life after, somewhere else, in a different state of existence, like Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, Limbus, etc.And the third concept is the concept of rebirth, meaning that the mental part of the person, may it be called the ¿soul¿ or the ¿spirit¿, is reborn many times in new bodies on earth. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Theater Studies, Dance, University of Queensland (St. Lucia Campus), course: DRAM3103 - Topics in Theatre Research, language: English, abstract: This essay discusses two ways in which scholars have interpreted Joshua Sobol's play 'Ghetto' (originally published 1989). It outlines the problems that arise from each interpretation of the play, but also discusses how and why scholars came to those interpretations. The derived conclusion from placing these two interpretations in conversation with each other is that Sobol may have been trying to both give an historical recount of the horrors experienced in the Jewish Ghettos set up by the Nazis, and giving subtle critique on how the Israeli government is treating its Palestinian neighbours. While this essay does not aim to provide definitive conclusions as to what Sobol's motives were behind the writing of 'Ghetto', it certainly opens up discussions on how historical contexts can affect the way in which the message of a play or performance is perceived and interpreted.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Philosophy - Practical (Ethics, Aesthetics, Culture, Nature, Right, .), grade: 1.0, LMU Munich, language: English, abstract: This paper seeks to address the role of trust in jealousy. A key distinction is made between fears, a lack of trust, and insecurities. It seems that a lack of self-trust arises both due to insecurities and fear, that both get provoked from deleterious cognitive patterns, negative or lack of life experience, or -knowledge. The paper provides arguments and evidence to support the view that jealousy involves a lack of (self-)trust because jealousy is an evaluative feeling and an episodically occurring state assigned to a specific source (cause) and reflects inner experiences. Furthermore, it is argued that an adjusted self tends more to feel jealous than an unadjusted self. 16 pp. Englisch.

The objectives are to analyse the data linguistically with methods that were introduced by conversational analysis, to interpret findings from a pragmatic point of view, thus employing an approach that is close to interactional sociolinguistics. This paper is divided into three parts: The first one is a theoretical approach where several topics will be explained. The second one is a presentation of an authentic dinner conversation of three people which is transcribed. The last part is the text analysis. It includes proving the different linguistic topics by means of the theoretical approach. The defined notions of conversational analysis will be applied, while the pragmatic point of view will be taken into consideration for the interpretation. Moreover, each of the transcripts will be analysed individually and the discourses that they feature will be examined.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

As different as Hemingway¿s protagonists in ¿The Old Man and the Seä and ¿The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber¿ are, as different are their relationships with the hunted animals and their motivations.In his short story Hemingway goes as far as providing a description directly from the lion¿s perspective. Both hunters see their lives not only impacted permanently but their struggles can be interpreted as a symbol for something far greater.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

It hoped that this paper will drives legislative arms of government to be more top public institution that can have proper checks and balances on the executive rather than bureaucratic non delivery system. The stated aim of government all over is to achieve or accomplish good governance. By good governance, we imply the delivery goods and services to the people. Cornpared to the experience of other of government (military regimes, for instance) goods and services are better delivered under a democratic dispensation in which checks and balances between the different arms of government are ensured. This is because in a democratic government leaders are representative of the people, elected on a periodic basis, they try to ensure that the real benefits of democracy (both material and moral) are readily and consistently accrual to the citizenry.In most states of the Nigerian federation, it is evident that the processes of socio-economic development have been better enhanced under a democratic dispensation. In Benue State, for instance, the establishment of industries and other institutions like the Taraku Mills, Otukpo Burnt Bricks, Benue State University, Makurdi, etc by the administration of former of Governors of Benue state,Mr. Aper Aku and Rev.Fr.Moses Adasu between 1979-1983 and 1991 -1993 respectively have been used as reference points.Observers of the pace of development in the State describe these periods, in comparison to the era of military regimes, as the glorious periods of Benue State. Several reasons are advanced for this development. 36 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: 7.0, University of Birmingham, course: research skill, language: English, abstract: In this advanced era, people should be aware of the practicality of technology adoption, especially in service-based businesses. As technology¿s efficiencies and its effectiveness had been sensed by both customer and firm, this resulting in a competitive business model among particular service industries; Supermarket businesses. Therefore, the need for a tech-based yet fruitful innovation has become increasingly relevant towards grocery businesses. However, during past decades, numbers of researchers and business experts¿ have narrowed their focus to a term called self-service technology (SST). This cutting-edge advancement enhances firm¿s performances in productivity and profitability spectrums (Parasuraman, 1996). Next, Meuter et al. (2000) has outlined SST as ¿technological interfaces that enable customers to obtain services from the staffs of the particular service firm without any direct involvement with them. On the business viewpoint, cost reductions and improved efficiency are the major highlights of having a SST system. With aid of SST, supermarket business can now serve various service demand from customers as SST system is more consistent and stable and it disregard worker¿s state of mind who sometimes is affected by personal issue or mood swing. With that so, SST creates a good added value which time and place conveniences are escalated to both supermarket manager and customer. In practices, SST comes in various channels ranging from self-service installations to self-service checkout machine. In this research proposal paper, I will examine the significance of Self-Service Checkouts usage on customer loyalty and their satisfaction given the service quality in the Singapore¿s supermarket context with relevant journals and examples considered. 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Management, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Georg Agricola Bochum (Wissenschaftsbereich Elektro-/Informationstechnik und Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen), course: Simulation Game, language: English, abstract: This thesis deals with the necessary of using management tools within a business game. In the first descriptive part, it critically examines the common management tools mentioned in the literature. It is limited to the treatment of three tools: The Ansoff Matrix according to Harry Igor Ansoff, Porters Five Forces (industry structure analysis) and the Business Model Canvas according to Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur. In the following analysis, the work applies these tools practically to the fantasy company, ¿Xeltronics 1¿. What does strategic management deal with In the Anglo-American literature, management is used in two variants of meaning. On the one hand, management in the functional sense aims to describe the processes and functions, such as planning, organization, leadership and control, that are necessary in organizations based on the division of labor. Management in the institutional sense describes the people, who perform management tasks, their activities and their roles. There are the two main components of the strategy term are the time element and the reference object. According to their ethymological origin, the terms strategy and strategic are strongly associated with the term 'longer-term'. It is difficult to determine precisely when strategic management was established as an independent field of research. The year 1977 is mentioned as the 'year of birth', for example, when a conference was held at the University of Pittsburgh in the USA, whose contributions were presented in 1979 by Schendel and Hofer under the title 'Strategie Management. A New View of Business Policy and Planning'. Behind the term 'strategic management' is a management philosophy that expresses rethinking. Basically, the group is experiencing a similar phenomenon here as in the 1960s, when the term marketing also signalled the need to rethink after the original sellers' markets had turned into buyers' markets. Although there are many different ideas associated with the concept of strategic management, a common goal can be identified: Strategic management is able to control and guide the long-term evolution of the company. The role of the manager is important, but according to a study, almost 85% of the German population think that their salaries are high to high. 28 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: 1,0, University of Münster (Rechtswissenschaftliche Fakultät), course: Seminar: Law Development & Climate Change, language: English, abstract: For more than 50 years, Colombia has suffered a civil war that took the lives of thousands and forced millions to leave their homes. The war originated from the inequalities within the country that drove the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army (Spanish acronym FARC) to oppose the government. The FARC was formed by uprising peasants and members of the Colombian communist party and was hence strongly left-wing oriented. The government has always been positioned on the far right and was supported by various paramilitary groups. The war deepened existing inequalities and illegal groups gained significant power by means of corruption and drug trafficking.It was only after five decades that in 2016 an agreement could be reached between the leader of the FARC and the former president of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos. Millions of Colombians found hope in this agreement for the end of rural deprivation due to lasting peace.But is a peace agreement capable of achieving such an outcome Being the oldest democracy in South America, the rule of law has existed in Colombia for a long time. Paradoxically, Colombia is known for its quite resilient constitution from 1991 and its extensive legislative framework. But previous agreements, reforms and laws have not been able to end the conflict.Against this background, this paper intends to examine the relationship between law and development using the peace agreement as an example. The paper will focus on Chapter One of the Agreement which contains the Comprehensive Rural Reform (CRR) and attacks the root causes of the armed conflict. This is why it is the part of the Agreement most likely to achieve sustainable development.When speaking of sustainable development, I am referring to a ¿development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs¿.In order to understand whether such a development can be achieved through a peace agreement, the paper is structured into four main sections. Following the introduction Colombiäs historic background will be discussed to create an understanding of current issues in the country¿s development. Second, I am going to outline the content of the CRR and see whether it addresses the named problems. Section 3 shows how far the implementation process of the CRR has gone so far. In the final part I will analyze the implementation progress and explain causes for delays. 36 pp. Englisch.

It analyzes the gender-transformative potential of the Commission, examines the measures taken by the government to implement the Commission's recommendations on gender equality and analyzes the changes that have been achieved with regard to gender equality in Sierra Leone.While the trials of the Sierra Leone Special Court have led to a number of groundbreaking legal developments that have significantly impacted international gender justice the Court is believed to not have offered much potential for the transformation of gender relations due to 'the absence of a reparations mandate and the limited opportunities for victims to participate in proceedings' (Williams and Opdam 2017, 1286). Therefore, this analysis focuses on the TRC. It will begin with a brief account of the situation of women in pre-conflict Sierra Leone as well as during the conflict to make the case for the need for a transformation of gender relations. This will be followed by an analysis of the gender-transformative potential of the TRC and a subsequent examination of the measures taken by the government to implement the TRC¿s recommendations on gender equality. Subsequently, the changes that have been achieved with regard to gender equality in Sierra Leone will be examined. Finally, the position of women in contemporary Sierra Leone will be outlined, followed by a brief presentation of missed opportunities in the promotion of gender equality.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 40 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Seminar 'Native American Studies', language: English, abstract: This paper focuses on the evolving policies relevant in the twentieth century and the underlying ideologies by looking at the representation of Native Americans in popular culture. Both, contemporary policy and ideology, are formative powers that influence popular culture. Then again, popular culture, especially the medium of film, is a purveyor of national ideologies, values, and trends to society. Here, it will be argued that the shifting policies on Native Americans are reflected in their representation in the cinematic productions of 'The last of the Mohicans'. A diachronic analysis will help to filter out both changes and consistencies of the popular perspective on American Indians in film throughout the last century. In order to do so, four filmic versions of 'The last of the Mohicans' will be examined: the 1920 silent movie, the 1936, the 1977, as well as the 1992 release. Analyzing representational tools, their functions, and the preferred reading within each movie ¿ as coined by Stuart Hall ¿ and a comparison between the movies will constitute the theoretical approach and will help to pinpoint ideological functions and the role of policy at the time of each of the adaptions. The focus of scene analysis will be on the depiction of violence on the one hand, and on relationship dynamics between Native Americans and Whites on the other hand. 24 pp. Englisch.

Lastly, Walmart can select a franchisee and prepare to enter Singapore market after country opens up for business in the aftermath of the current pandemic. ¿ 36 pp. Englisch.
