Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The paper investigates asymmetry in the allocation of aggregate demand shocks between real output growth and price inflation over the business cycle in a sample of fifteen Caribbean countries. In most countries, the evidence indicates the existence of structural constraints, implying that positive demand shocks feed predominantly into prices while negative demand shocks mainly affect output. The high variability of aggregate demand in Caribbean countries, frequently exposed to shocks that are exacerbated by pro-cyclical policy stance, tends to create an upward bias on inflation and a downward bias on real output growth, on average, over time. The analysis highlights the benefits of eliminating structural rigidities responsible for asymmetric real and inflationary effects and points to the dangers of pro-cyclical macroeconomic policies that exacerbate the adverse effects of demand variability.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The nursing profession has been identified as the largest healthcare profession using the internet and its requests to participate in continuing education (CE) are increasing. This project addressed an identified need to create, implement, and evaluate an educational intervention to measure knowledge gains and retention between a face-to-face and web-based course for Registered Nurses (RNs). Quantitative methods were used to address the research problem for RNs that treat the geriatric population. A curriculum for an oral health CE course was developed for RNs that treat the geriatric population and presented in a web-based and face-to-face course. The same oral health education material was used for both CE formats. A literature review demonstrating effective curricular, instructional and evaluative strategies for continuing professional healthcare education as well as a review of several theories in the psychology of adult learning and its application to continuing professional healthcare education was conducted. A multiple question test was developed and the same test questions, ordered differently, were given to RNs as the pre-test, post-test and one week retention test.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Recently, the most debated topic at the EU level has been the formulation of a well-defined and integrated energy policy for the union due to the growing demand for energy, dependence of Europe upon external sources and politicization of energy relations. Despite the initiatives by the European Commission to develop a common energy policy for the European Union, success to this regard is limited. This book explores the extent to which the European Union could be successful in formulating common external energy policy and define the driving forces brought about to this level of integration, focusing particularly on external energy policy towards Russia and the Caspian Region. Liberal Intergovernmentalist approach is applied to achieve the stated objectives of the book, which implies the energy policy ¿ from the European perspective and towards Russia and the Caspian region ¿ of the major players within the EU ¿ the UK, Germany and France -, has been analyzed, as well.

It can be argued that a number of efforts have been done to suggest methods of alleviating HIV/AIDS impact at primary,secondary and tertiary levels in the world. African countries are among the worst affected. One category of people that appears to be neglected despite being at the center of the pandemic are health workers. Health workers are front runners in prevention,treating and general caring of HIV/AIDS patients. unfortunately health workers just like others many a time find themselves affected with HIV/AIDS, directly or indirectly. Being care givers themselves,it becomes a challenge for them to relate to patients and work mates when they are directly affected. This book highlights the challenges in view of stimulating scholars, heath workers and society at large to start thinking of caring for the carer. This may eventually influence positive policy change suited for health workers themselves 72 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Quite often modules such as entrepreneurship, project management and soft skills required for an immediacy of productive employment in industry are often not taught in universities, or when this is done they are usually very minimal, hence the employment expectation divide experienced by graduates and employers. A questionnaire based survey carried out in Sierra Leone, involving employers, lecturers and graduate employees, showed that 57.15% of employers ranked the problem solving skills of their graduate employees as reasonable, i.e. a grade of 2 on a 6 point scale where the sixth point was Don't know. While over 60 % of employers assigned a High to Very Good value to the degree awarded to their employees, 35.71% felt their research and analytical skills were poor or low. Among the 13 skills sets listed as being desirable of their employees, Oral communications, Loyalty and integrity, learning abilities, Field specific knowledge and initiative were ranked the highest by 78% of employers that correctly responded. The author discusses this topic within the context of the University of Sierra Leone and makes references to the wider international situation. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Given that medical curricula focus on clinical practice, it is also important for future practitioners to understand the role of research. The knowledge guiding clinical practice cannot be entirely dependent on the practitioner's observations and personal experience. These vital qualities have to be transformed into scientific evidence for better health care. Otherwise, how can we expect quality care if the very basis for evidence is not understood How reliable can clinical decisions be if not based on some form of evidence In this work some concerns regarding research expressed by some medical trainees are explored. A novel self-help tool designed to guide anyone making their debut in medical research is presented and elucidated. This tool is expected to serve as an adjunct to 'classical' lectures on research methods. 88 pp. Englisch.

Twenty percent of all patients will develop distant metastases despite its large variety of histologic types. Patients with high-grade tumors have a higher chance of developing distant metastases than those with lower-grade tumors. But for low grade and benign tumors there are other concepts such as error in histologic diagnosis and inadequate management. This paper is composed of five parts. In each part at first we present rare parotid gland entity then we investigate the problem in form of case report and study their imaging, laboratory tests, differential diagnosis and treatment with follow up status. At the end we discuss about their management with review of literatures. Dr. Zahra Sarafraz 56 pp. Englisch.

The need to know what kind of abnormal cervicography requires to have histologic valuation is vital , particularly in he the low economic situations. Sending all abnormal lesions for histology is costly, leads to over treatment and does not reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. Conversely, using a very stringent criteria to send abnormal lesions for histology may lead to inadvertent missing of cancer cases. An accurate criteria for determining which lesions are cryotherapy-ineligible, and therefore requiring histological examination cannot be overemphasised. 56 pp. Englisch.

It is known that Pauli operator is one of the important operators of the quantum physics and describes the motion of the quantum particle with spin in the electromagnetic field. In addition to the mechanical and magnetic moment produced by the motion of the center of gravity of the electron, the electron must be attributed to the intrinsic mechanical and magnetic moments, as if it was not a material point, and a rotating charged top. This mechanical and magnetic moment is called a spin, and the phenomenon is called as a spin of the electron. Two and three dimensional cases are considered. The validity of the Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture is proved and asymptotical formulas are obtained for the eigenvalues of Pauli operator in parallelogram and parallelepiped. 76 pp. Englisch.

It is a compound that can occur naturally in fermented beverages and foods, such as spirits, wine, beer, bread, soy sauce and yoghurt. Ethyl carbamate can be formed from various substances derived from food and beverages, including hydrogen cyanide, urea, citrulline, and other N-carbamyl compounds. The presence of Ethyl carbamate in beverages is an indicator of either poor storage conditions or exposure and stress to heat or improper fermentation. EC has been implicated in skin irritation and obviously pose serious health risk to humans when present at high concentration. However attention should be made and more awareness created since it's toxicological relevance has been partially elucidated, it is recommended that certain limits(threshold limits) has to be established in beverages and other fermented foods and thus minimizing health hazards. 88 pp. Englisch.

The words of Swinburne sum up to a large extent the general critical estimation of the achievement of Marlowe that he is the father of English tragedy and the creator of English blank verse and was therefore also the teacher and guide of Shakespeare.Eliot raised three relevant objections against these observations.He pointed out that Kyd has 'as good a title' to the honour of the father of English tragedy.Secondly,Surrey 'has a better style' to the honour of the reator of English Blank verse. Thirdly,'Shakespeare was not guided or taught by any one of the precursor and contemporaries alone'.A tragic hero of Marlowe tries to surpass not only human environment but also the human limitations.An attempt has been made to project the pathetic element in Dr. Faustus as it eminently suited the artistic genius of Christopher Marlowe.A hero of this sort reached the pinnacle of perfection in his hands.
