Every member of the Royal Family is able to participate in every event in the UK, such as openings of new buildings, acts of commemoration or the Olympic Games this summer. Today the head of the Royal Family nearly has no political power, but has more of a representative role. Furthermore the Queen is the Head of the Armed Forces. With that function she is the only one who can decide whether the country is at war or when the war is finished. Every British Monarch is Head of the Church of England which comprises the appointment of bishops. Every priest has to swear an oath not on the Pope like the Catholics or on God like Protestant priests, but on the Queen herself.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Politik - Region: Naher Osten, Vorderer Orient, Note: 1,5, Universität Leipzig (Politikwissenschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mitte November diesen Jahres berichtete unter anderem Die Zeit über das von Israel forcierte Abkommen mit Uganda und Ruanda, welches Israel ermöglichen soll, bis zu 40.000 momentan in Israel lebende flüchtende Menschen in einer 'intensivierten Abschiebung' ausreisen zu lassen. Im Fokus stehen vor allem Asylsuchende, welche von Afrika (vorrangig aus Eritrea, Sudan und Südsudan) über den Sinai nach Israel geflohen sind und dort bereits seit einigen Jahren auf die Bearbeitung ihrer Asylgesuche warten. Mit dem Abkommen, dessen konkrete Konditionen nicht veröffentlicht werden, will Israel jährlich bis zu 3.000 Flüchtende vor die Wahl stellen, entweder vermeintlich freiwillig in eines der beiden Vertragsländer auszureisen, oder sich in die Obhut der israelischen Strafjustiz zu begeben. Als Gegenleistung, so viel ist bekannt, sollen Uganda und Ruanda sowohl finanziell, als auch durch Waffenlieferungen und militärische Ausbildungsangebote unterstützt werden. Für die bereits in Uganda lebenden Flüchtenden herrschen indes verheerende Bedingungen.Angesichts dieser erneuten Verschärfung der Situation für Asylsuchende in Israel sollen in der vorliegenden Arbeit Indizien für eine institutionalisierte Diskriminierung in der israelischen Migrationspolitik gegenüber subsaharischen Flüchtenden beleuchtet werden.Dabei beschreibt Diskriminierung zunächst im Allgemeinen eine herabwürdigende oder benachteiligende Verhaltensweise gegenüber anderen sozialen Akteuren aufgrund konstruierter, vermuteter oder vorhandener Zuschreibungen von Merkmalen. Im Begriff der Institutionalisierten Diskriminierung wird von einem organisatorischen Handeln von Institutionen ausgegangen, welches zu einer dauerhaften Benachteiligung, bzw. Herabsetzung sozialer Gruppen führt. Dabei ist dieses Handeln losgelöst von auf einer Individualebene existierenden Vorurteilen und Absichten.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Mathematics - Applied Mathematics, grade: 1.00, , language: English, abstract: The model of the future behaviour of the universe developed here is an extension of that developed in [1] and [2] from the indefinite past until the present time. The first part of the trajectory of the deceleration parameter of cosmology into the future is obtained by extending the exponential variation with time of the trajectory from the end of the cosmic jerk until the present time, as developed in [1]. It is shown, in the future, when the magnitude of the deceleration parameter becomes, -1, that the universe attains a state where the volumetric strain rate becomes a minimum. It is argued that, for this reason, the universe then remains in this state indefinitely. The trajectory of the deceleration parameter of the universe from the present time into the indefinite future, as shown in the diagram in the body of the work, is then simply an exponential curve followed by a horizontal straight line.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Pre-University Paper from the year 2016 in the subject Medicine - Other, grade: 10 Punkte, , language: English, abstract: The life-saving organ transplant can be allowed to seriously ill patients by a post mortal organ donation, so the transference of functioning organs and tissue of a dead to an another person.An organ donation is the basic condition for a transplant. Condition of the organ donation is the approval of the donator while still alive that in case of a death organs may be taken. Today by transplantations it¿s possible to save the life of the patients with organ failure or in improving quality of life decisively. The aim of such an operation is to restore the function of own organs from the sick people with the help of the taken organs from other people. The following organs can be successfully transplanted: kidneys, liver, lungs, heart, pancreas and intestines. Hands and faces were added to the transplantation list in 2014.Not only organs but also tissue can be donated. Referring to the tissues, they let transplant themselves including the skin, the hard skin from the eyes, the heart valves and parts of the blood vessels and the cartilage-tissue. The body tissue is applicable due to its diversity for the treatment of different injuries, as for example a serious incineration. Generally the post mortal tissue donations are not transplanted directly after the withdrawal, but are cleaned and preserved in special tissue banks. For particular organs, such as the kidney or a part of the liver, a living donation is considered under certain circumstances. Nevertheless, the postmortal organ donation has priority before the living donation.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: 10, , course: Social Sciences / Power and Society, language: English, abstract: This paper contributes to the understanding of the relationship between law and power. Premised on the Hobbesian conceptualization of law as the command of the sovereign, this paper traces the resilience of this conceptualization through to the modern democratic states. It looks at the change of the sovereign from an individual to an office and now the diffusion of power through different systems of checks and balances instituted by the modern political system of democracy.In doing this, the paper answers the question; to what extent is law the reflection of the wishes of political elites in a society It explores the sources of law and the role of law as an organizing agent with a view of exposing the resilience of the political elite¿s interests in law and in the use of law. The paper finally concludes that despite the changing nature of political systems, political elites have been able to preserve the law as a tool at their service. They have used their law making power to express their wishes in the law as well as used the complex procedural nature of law with several actors involved to serve their interest.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

The aim is to critically analyse the actions of EU taken in Mali to fight hunger and poverty.The European Union is argued to be the major donor of external assistance, with more than half of the world¿s official development aid. The European Commission is organised in General Directorates (DGs), the one involved in Hunger and Poverty fight is the International Cooperation and Development DG. EU, as a global actor, has relations with almost all the countries in the world and Mali is one of these. The controversy in the case of Mali is that this country has an enormous inner potential and could be a wealthy country, just think about the mineral resources, but the reality is that Mali is one of the poorest countries of the world.The country is traditional split in two, Arabic populations live in the north, while Sub-Saharans in the south. Mali`s internal conflict and instability is growing, armed groups coming from the north of the country carry out attacks and move forward to the centre.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - General and Theories of International Politics, grade: A, Ethiopian Civil Service University (law and federalism), course: survey of constitutional system, language: English, abstract: The principle of separation of power is one of the oldest constitutional principles in most of the world countries. It refers to the idea that the major institutions of state should be functionally independent and that no individual should have powers that span these offices. The principal institutions are usually taken to be the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. In early accounts, such as Montesquieüs ¿The Spirit of the Laws¿, the separation of powers is intended to guard against tyranny and preserve liberty. It was held that the major institutions should be divided and dependent upon each other so that one power would not be able to exceed that of the other two. As mentioned earlier most countries of the world both presidential and parliamentary form of government incorporated this doctrine in their constitutions with a certain degree of disparity. American Presidential system with strict separation among the three branches of government, the oldest constitution in the world dating 227 years. On the other hand, all parliamentary systems of government including Ethiopia apply the principle with a certain fusion of power mainly among the executive and legislative organs of government. Cognizant of the above fact as background knowledge, this paper tries to explore American presidential system versus Ethiopian parliamentary system of government based on the original doctrine of montesques separation of power. Thus it is organized in to three parts. The first part deals with the original doctrine of separation of power and its goal. The second part briefly discuss and evaluates the extent to which 1) the executive and legislature; 2) the executive and judiciary; and 3) the judiciary and legislature now overlap and interact in the united state of American presidential and Ethiopian parliamentary system of governments. Last but not the least deals with modifications made by the Americans to the original principle.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Development Politics, Uganda Christian University, language: English, abstract: The paper analyses the human rights based approach to development management. It traces its development from the industrial era the basic needs approach and structural adjustments to the current status. It is basically a desk research that sought to find out what the human rights approach to development is - its application, challenges and benefits.The approach is the brain child of the UN agencies that sought to have development with a human face. The human rights based approach traces its origins in the principles of human rights. It is from these that basic tenets of the approach are participation, inclusion and fulfilling obligation. These rotate around two basic stake holders ¿the duty bearers and rights holders. From the studies done it is noted that though the approach is new and has some challenges, it still sets a new face towards development management.It has further found that a good number of countries and development cooperations do not necessarily apply all the human rights principles to the development projects. This is human rights perspectives to development as opposed to human rights based approach to development, which perspective marks the first step towards a full blown implementation of the human rights approach to development management.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

First, we will try to find a definition of Agencies. Starting from the first agencies we will analyse how these developed in their number, structure, role and competencies. After this, it is important to understand the legal framework in which EAs are established, and to analyse if the agencies are attracted by the community method or not. At this point, we will find several critics, the main rising question concerns the delegation of power, how much competencies can the European Commission delegate to Agencies Why should the EU delegate power In order to have basic knowledge to discuss this topic we have to mention the Meroni law-case. In the academic literature, the EAs are often considered as the fourth branch of governments. What does this mean After an overview about basics elements of EAs and a discussion about the main problems involved, we will come to our conclusion.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Second, to ascertain if the month is a reliable predictor of cloud storage capacity consumed. The model was developed using Minitab18 statistical software. The dependent variable was cloud storage capacity consumed, while the independent variable was the month of cloud storage consumption. The model was validated by checking the assumptions of regression to establish its suitability in making future predictions. Twelve-month data sets was analyzed to make future prediction for each passing month. The model made predictions with near accuracy from the actual cloud storage data consumed in each month. The model determines the intervals of monthly storage consumption. The study concluded that the month is a globally significant linear predictor of cloud storage capacity consumed over a period.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

The fictional biography guides the reader through the protagonist¿s daily life, while simultaneously showing that his life is not daily at all. The author provided a balance within Orlandös nature by creating a character the reader can, on one hand, relate to, but who, on the other hand, is special and therefore appears different.

It is situated in Cheapside, the main market square in London then. The story consists of several plots that develop around the constituent families and cross in the course of the play.In this work, I explore a part of Renaissance London. With the help of Thomas Middleton¿s play 'A Chaste Maid in Cheapside', published in 1630, I investigate the gender role of the main character Moll, who is also the ¿chaste maid¿. I draw attention to the questions: How is ¿the chaste maid¿ represented What is her role within the social systems of family, lover and arranged marriage partner How is Moll an example for women¿s positions between gender and social roles within society I argue that Moll¿s role shows a clear example of how women were treated unequally and how they had less rights than men. When analyzing the woman¿s role within society, I consult secondary sources that examine the image of women and gender during that time so that the satire of the play can be understood accordingly.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institute for English and American Studies), course: Universally Adapted Truths: Versions of Pride and Prejudice, language: English, abstract: It is clear that in today¿s society the necessity to marry is not as strong as it was in Jane Austen¿s time. Back then, women had to marry in order to survive; now, at least in the modern Western world, this is not the case. Women have more opportunities when it comes to their future, without having to marry. For a woman to have a career may seem normal today, but in 19th century England this was not an option. However, the need to live a good and secure life is still troubling women today.The web series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (2012) is a modern adaptation of Jane Austen¿s Pride and Prejudice (1813), where Lizzie Bennet vlogs about her friends, family and life. Even though Pride and Prejudice and The Lizzie Bennet Diaries take place in different times, social security still influences the lives of the characters.In Pride and Prejudice, Lizzy Bennet wants to marry but only for love and not because her mother is telling her to. She rejects Mr. Collins' and Mr. Darcy's first proposal because she does not love them. Eventually Lizzy does get married, because she falls in love with Mr. Darcy and accepts his second proposal, thereby fulfilling her intention to marry for love. In The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Lizzie is a grad student, living at home together with her parents and her two sisters. She is single, but getting a boyfriend is not one of her concerns. Instead, she is trying to get a good job to start her career and to justify her expensive education.Charlotte Lucas marries Mr. Collins, not because she loves him, but because she wants and needs to get married. She ends up unhappy but she reaches her goal to find a husband and obtain a secure life. Charlotte Lu accepts Mr. Collins¿ job offer because she sees an opportunity in this employment to help her in the future. She benefits from this job at Collins & Collins despite Lizzie disagreeing.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, University of Tehran, language: English, abstract: The aim of the present paper is to unveil how a 'dissident' reading can be perceived by a deconstructive investigation in the novel 'City of Glass' by Paul Auster. As the matter of fact, the story entails some binaries which their clashes serve to conceptualize the term 'dissidence' as observed in the approach of cultural materialism. Cultural materialists argue that literature does not reflect only one cultural formation and is able to invoke other ideologies and subcultures. To put in other words, while a literary work may serve to practice the dominant ideology, it may produce a contrary dissident reading. This possibility mostly is based on the inner contradictions of any literary text. This is the common ground of cultural materialists and post-structuralist deconstructionists although there are many differences between the two sides such as the former opposes the latter, arguing that texts are not created in the void. In fact, the inner contradictions, which the theories and principles of cultural materialism is rested on, can be realized as those dualities which the deconstructionists apply in their practices. They imply that no transcendental meaning is present in the verbal game of a work of literature as the cultural materialists deny one dominant culture. In 'City of Glass' Paul Auster has skillfully exhibited such a verbal game to represent his own concerns regarding the subject of the identity caught in the binaries of 'author-reader', 'fact-fiction', 'solitude-loneliness' and 'city-space', leading to a 'dissident' reading which is potentially opposed and threatening to those social oppressive norms which the protagonist 'Quinn' is suffered.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Whether those characters function as the protagonists' love interests or not, they pose a severe threat to the heteronormative narrative of the stories.Gender and sexuality are historically intertwined in several ways. Often, the legitimacy of ¿real¿ male- or womanhood has to be proven by heterosexuality. Hence, homosexuality can threaten those concepts of a stereotypical gender identity. According to Judith Butler, gender is something that is constructed rather than something we simply own; thus it is not ensured and can be dismantled either by oneself or someone else. Focusing on female homosexuality as a perceived threat to heteronormativity and femininity as well as femaleness, this paper will predominantly discuss two lesbian characters and two straight, female characters in Sylvia Plath¿s 'The Bell Jar' and the HBO series 'Sex and the City'.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Based on this, the phenomenon of codeswitching is illustrated as a widespread example of crosslinguistic interaction in the multilingual lexicon. This paper aims at presenting an overview of the complex characteristics of the multilingual lexicon. It should also give an idea of the immense amount of linguistic knowledge that is stored and processed within the multilingual mind and, most importantly, emphasize the significant linguistic awareness and cognitive skills that multilinguals display.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0, University of Constance, language: English, abstract: The Great Gatsby by Fitz Scott Fitzgerald is considered to be one of the greatest American novels, one of the key themes in the book is Gatsby ¿s dream and it will be the centre of this term paper. Out of the various approaches to the book, this paper will focus on the character constellation of the protagonist Jay Gatsby and Daisy, the woman with whom he falls in love. How does Gatsby ¿s dream develop in connection with his fascination to Daisy Claiming that, although two people are involved, his dream is only focused on himself, I will try to show, at least to a certain extent, how Gatsby ¿s dream has ¿three basic and related parts: the desire to repeat the past, the desire for money, and the desire for incarnation of ¿unutterable visions¿ in the material earth.¿ (Lockridge, 1968) Since Daisy represents all of these dreams when they meet for the first time, she becomes the personification of his dream, but in the course of the events their paths become separated. Therefore, this term paper will also investigate how Gatsby ¿s dream further develops since being separated from Daisy and finally what happens when he meets Daisy again - why does she in the end ¿[tumble] short of his dreams¿ (Fitzgerald, 2000) Regarding the often discussed issue, whether or not Fitzgerald was writing a myth specifically about America and the American Dream, or whether Gatsby ¿s dream can attain a wider relevance, I will not be able to refer to in much detail. The paper will also not discuss the point of narrative, but it is nevertheless crucial to mention that ¿Gatsby is presented almost entirely through Nick ¿s puzzled and often disapproving eyes.¿ (Parkinson, 1988)BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Politik - Region: Westeuropa, Note: 19,5/20, Sciences Po Paris, Dijon, Nancy, Poitier, Menton, Havre, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit untersucht die Medienpropaganda in Italien unter dem faschistischen Staatsoberhaupt Mussolini. Sie betrachtet die Differenz zwischen Realität und propagandareichen Medien, insbesondere inwieweit der Duce das Verhältnis beeinflusst und verbogen hat. Außerdem wird auf die Thematik der Gleichschaltung eingegangen und die Lage in Deutschland als Beispiel und mögliche Erklärung, genutzt, denn im faschistischen Italien und nationalsozialistischem Deutschland ergibt sich eine vergleichbare Faschismusforschung.Um die Medienpropaganda in Italien gänzlich zu verstehen scheint aus diesem Grund die Parallele zum nationalsozialistischen Deutschland zwischen 1933 und 1944 angemessen. Das Ziel dieser Hausarbeit ist es, die enorme Macht über die Bevölkerung zu zeigen und wie Mussolini mit jener Macht profitierend umging und die italienische Bevölkerung unter seine Kontrolle zu bringen.Die Arbeit ist in zwei Hauptpunkte aufgeteilt, jeweils mit zwei Unterteilen. Im ersten wird über die Gleichschaltung in Deutschland und über Mussolinis diktatorisches Leben berichtet. Der zweite Teil konzentriert sich explizit auf die Medienpropaganda, insbesondere auf die Filmindustrie und auf die Bildwerbung. Zum Schluss wird auf die These nochmal direkt eingegangen und Mussolinis Strategie aufgedeckt.
