Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -An allergic response to nickel in the oral mucosa from nickel containing orthodontic appliances is more infrequent than from nickel contact on the epidermis,it can occur, particularly in females. If nickel-related intraoral clinical signs and symptoms appear, the orthodontist should be prepared to undertake or continue treatment without the use of Ni-Ti wires and even without stainless steel. The frequency of orthodontic treatment and the common use of nickel containingorthodontic materials raises the interesting question of whether orthodontic treatment may act to increase or decrease the burden of nickel hypersensitivity in the population. There is evidence that oral exposure to nickel may induce immunologic tolerance to nickel and thereby reduce the incidence of nickel allergies. Nevertheless when clinical signs or symptoms presumed to be due to nickel hypersensitivity are distressing to patients there are many choices of materials available to the orthodontist as alternatives. 100 pp. Englisch.

The selection of forest plants are considered that the plants can adapt to the former land of coal mining. The characteristics of the former land of coal mining are classified as critical and poor drainage while the plants used are plants for reforestation. Selection of forest plants are considered too by ecological, economic and social aspects so as to provide benefits to the local community's economy and local government in a sustainable manner.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Effective project management (PM) has been recognised to be essential in achieving project success as well as improved productivity. Despite the increased attention given to project management methodologies (PMM), such as PMBOK, APMBOK and PRINCE2 that have been used in developed countries, like the UK; the construction industry in Nigeria is seen to be lagging behind in adapting the use of these methodologies in the delivery of projects. Several authors have identified that the traditional project management method is still in use despite the shortcomings associated with the method. This research, therefore, aims at investigating the relevance of the use of PMM guides in improving performance in the Nigerian construction industry as well as how these methodologies can be implemented considering the nature and characteristics of this industry.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This is a study of the mechanism of gravity generation.Why do apples fall Gravity was a pushing force, not a pulling force. Given a priori assumption that space as a vacuum has a physical fine structure like continuum, it enables us to apply a continuum mechanics to the so-called ¿vacuum¿ of space.The pressure field derived from the geometrical structure of space is newly obtained by applying both continuum mechanics and General Relativity to space. The apples on the Earth will not be pulled by the Earth and fall, but will be pushed and fall in the direction of the Earth due to the pressure of the field in the curved space area around the Earth. This book is an attempt to explain the cause of gravity by applying the mechanical structure of space to General Relativity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book attempts to understand the trend of budget allocations to the agriculture sector; assess the gender-specific initiatives explored through national budgeting in agriculture and deep dive into the existing monitoring mechanisms for tracking state investments in agriculture in Ghana. It finds that while there has been a consistent decline in state budgetary allocation to agriculture over the years; this is only reflective in real terms. From a nominal perspective, there is quite a steady growth. Also government¿s investment in the sector has been skewed towards recurrent expenditure such as salaries, subsidies and administrative costs thus leaving a gap in the core business of agriculture. Gender focus of national budgetary allocation has also been poor with little or no special attention to the needs of women. In all of these, the study however argues strongly that there have been quite significant efforts both by government and CSOs to monitor and track national level budgetary allocation to agriculture.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book examines the extent to which farmers in Gikongoro (esp. Nyamagabe district) in Southwestern Rwanda can improve food productivity by applying sustainable agriculture principles. The farmers themselves have, through a questionnaire-based survey, assessed their productivity as low. Their assessment is supported by a literature review. The causes and reasons behind the situation are analysed and discussed, as are the effects. The study reveals that demographic pressure, deforestation, soil erosion and land degradation are important factors contributing to the problem. These factors are interlinked and strengthen each other. The analysis from the study suggests that conventional agriculture or industrial agriculture may not solve the problem of regional food insecurity or mitigate environmental degradation. However, sustainable agriculture could improve simultaneously agricultural productivity, food security and mitigate environmental degradation, but it requires new sustainable technologies, proper planning and strategies, food conservation, transportation (roads) as well as investments in agriculture production and education.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Organizations,in times past,have dreaded the entire concept of channeling hard earned profits into training employees.The main reason behind this is the fear of watching the employees exit the organization with the newly-acquired skills only to take up more lucrative jobs elsewhere.This notwithstanding,research has shown that organizations that hailed training as a core organizational strategy and spent their financial resources on the most valuable resource of the organization,that's the human resource,have succeeded in growing their human capital and also promoting retention throughout the organization.It's obvious that a well-designed training program grants employees the opportunity to acquire knowledge,skills in new areas while honing skills that they already possessed,and exhibiting the right attitudinal change to buttress their expertise.Basically,as employees are empowered,they develop greater self-worth,which contributes to greater productivity and consequent profitability.Employee turnover is reduced through training,which is a bridge leading to job satisfaction,organizational commitment,job involvement and ultimately a higher retention rate in contemporary organizations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Rare High-temperature and low-pressure contact-metamorphic assemblages have been found in the Güneyce-Ikizdere area, Eastern Black Sea, Turkey (Pontides), well-known for the kuroko-type massive sulfide deposits (e.g., Çayeli, Murgul, Cerrattepe). Plutonic rocks of calc-alkaline affinity (Rize batholith) intrude Cretaceous volcanic and volcano-sedimentary formations. An unusual contact metamorphism resulted in the development of assemblages belonging to the spurrite-merwinite facies at the contact between a cupola of the Rize batholith and lower Cretaceous limestone. The following rare calc-silicate minerals, mostly forming monomineralic masses, have been identified: spurrite Ca5(SiO4)2(CO3), tilleyite Ca5Si2O7(CO3)2, rustumite Ca10(Si2O7)2SiO4Cl2(OH)2, cuspidine Ca4Si2O7(F,OH)2, hillebrandite Ca2SiO3(OH)2, killalaite Ca3Si2O7.H2O, foshagite Ca4Si3O9(OH)2, gehlenite Ca2Al(AlSi)O7, monticellite CaMgSiO4, dellaite Ca6Si3O11(OH)2, bicchulite Ca2Al2SiO6(OH)2, tobermorite Ca9Si12O30(OH)6.4H2O, perovskite CaTiO3, thaumasite Ca6Si2(CO3)2 (SO4) (OH)12.24H2O and hydroxylellestadite-(OH) Ca5(SiO4,SO4,PO4)3 (OH,F,Cl,CO3).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem all over the world. Rational management and prevention strategies for DM require an understanding on the burden, determinants and basic defects of the disorder which vary substantially among populations due to racial and environmental heterogeneity. Bangladesh has one of the largest diabetic populations in the world and its Rajshahi region has distinct geographical and cultural identity. Limited information on the prevalence, risk factors and basic defects of DM are present among Bangali population in general but, so far, no study has yet been conducted on any epidemiological or pathophysiological aspects of DM in Rajshahi population. Taking advantage of the fairly good number of diabetic patients attending the RDC, a health care facility run by the Rajshahi Diabetic Association. It may be concluded that Both insulin secretory dysfunction and insulin resistance constitute the basic defects of diabetes in Rajshahi population, but insulin secretory defect seems to be more predominant in these subjects.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Forty years of war displaced and killed millions of Afghans and left several thousand crippled, orphaned and psychologically scarred for life. The education system in particular became one of the principal instruments that a hue of competing and warring factions sought to control. It was seen as the most effective tools to indoctrinate the youth in particular according to their political interests and ideological moorings. These developments scarred the social fabric of Afghanistan. Additionally, the war fueled ethnic and religious conflicts and the mindset that encouraged difference between ¿us and them¿.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The aim of this article is to investigate whether or not charisma in children is considered inherited or not. There is no generally accepted definition of the gifted-charismatic child. However, various definitions of intellectual superiority include either general high capacity or high special capacity. The charisma of a child becomes apparent early in life. It can be considered as a biologically rooted label for a high level of intelligence, which shows an advanced and accelerating development of functions within the brain that allow its more efficient use. However, an interaction between the environment and the genetic framework creates intelligence, even the perception of reality. It is often difficult to separate the influences of genetics and the environment on human traits. Genetic traits do not appear instantly at the time of birth; instead, they tend to follow inherent epigenetic development pathways. Charismatic children develop asynchronously: their minds are often more ahead of their natural development and specific cognitive and emotional functions often develop differently at different stages of development. Finally, both the genetic material of the child and the envirBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Women today are faced with the difficult choice between gaining success in a career or successfully become a family care giver. There are numerous social factors which affect the career decisions of women particularly when they also have a family that demands so much of their time.Workplaces are rarely gender-neutral. Though gender differences in the terms and conditions of one¿s employment are almost never codified in firms¿ personnel policies or in employment law, women nonetheless frequently find that they are in one way or another they are treated with some forms of discrimination tendencies by either their employer or work mates. This approach to gender equality recognizes that women are not inherently vulnerable but are rather the agents of transformative change. Achieving gender equality requires that the needs, capabilities, experiences and contributions of both girls and boys and women and men are taken into consideration, while acknowledging their diversity. Gender equality is not about transferring opportunities from men to women, but about creating conditions where each person regardless of his or her gender has the right and ability to realize their human potential.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The concept, empty space is misleading.In fact the universe came into existence from pure space has been transformed and is existing as universe. It is a wrong notion that space and mass are two separate entities.Any one object coming into existence and its functioning is a part of space.It should not be misconceived that space is a vacuum and has no energy as force. Absolute space is extremely limitless and inherent and so there exists a (Kinematic quivering) continuous and incessant stir. The universe includes the sun, earth, solar system, galaxies and everything else that exists. Even with the most powerful telescope, astronomers can not see the limit of the universe. Most scientists believe, however the universe is mostly a 'empty space' Eternal Space is the static, primordial state of 'emptiness' but nature, everlasting. Nature is identified as Source of all forces.Quantum he unified force field effects imply that the concept of a 'vacuum' is far more complex than had previously been supposed. Even in the absence of real particles apparently 'empty' space teems with a ferment of virtual particles of all varieties.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This research has not sought to discover new adverse effects of cigarettes that smokers may be exposed to, but to elucidate the underlying cause of some of the health hazard that smokers have always been exposed to and fallen victim of. There is a strong correlation between lung cancer death rates and smoking. Constituents of tar and the gas phase of cigarette smoke have always been implicated in cigarette induced carcinogenesis. The scientific thought has been along this line for too long and other predisposing factors to cancer in the tobacco has been ignored. This research has established the presence of aflatoxin contamination in cigarette tobacco. It has also established the presence of fungal spore contaminant in cigarette tobacco, and that some of the fungi are toxigenic, elaborating mycotoxins, which smokers could be exposed to. Mycotoxins may have been ignored and classified within the tar constituents, being particulate itself. Since some of the mycotoxins, and especially aflatoxins, are known carcinogens, chronic exposure to them by smokers could be another predisposing factor to cancer in smokers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Up until now the methods of information transmission have been those described by Shannon Equations, they concern both the quantity and the quality of information in common cable transmission systems and in common computers work electrons. Therefore, the quantity of information is conveyed in bit/sec.On the contrary, in next generation of quantum computers the message will be conveyed in a photonic way. Along with Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the more recent Margolus-Levitin Theorem, the aim of our work is to verify if photons with different frequencies convey information with the same way and speed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In recent years, the concept of ¿cardiometabolic risk¿ is increasingly used in clinical practice. One of the most common diseases is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) - a chronic liver disease that is considered as a component of some diseases associated with insulin resistance. The development of NAFLD on the background of comorbid pathology is closely associated with an increase in the degree of cardiometabolic risk, which can determine the prognosis and life expectancy of patients.The monograph presents the results of our own studies that demonstrated the involvement of ¿new¿ markers - C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-¿, endothelial dysfunction indicators such as: circulating desquamated endothelial cells, vascular endothelial growth factor and telomere length in the formation of cardiometabolic changes in patients with NAFLD on the background of subclinical hypothyroidism, which can lead to early vascular aging. The data obtained expands our understanding of cardiometabolic risk formation mechanisms, to predict the course of the disease and to individualize the strategy for the prevention of cardiovascular events in a comorbid patient.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The book presents the results of archeological studies along the left bank of the Varbitsa River, a tributary of the Arda River in the Eastern Rhodopes. The area lies along an ancient road through the Makaza Pass connecting the Aegean to the interior of the Balkans. This road has been used since the Prehistory ages to date, now reconstructed.The site is multilayered. The cultural strata are considered sequentially - Medieval (late 10th - early 13th c.) and Late Antiquity (4th - early 6th c.). The Medieval layer contains ritual pits, the only ones known so far on the territory of Medieval Bulgaria. Their interpretation has been sought in folklore texts from Bulgaria, the Balkans and other ancient socially related communities.The main focus is on the pottery. Along with the shapes and technologies known from other sites on the Balkans, two groups of vessels are specially discussed. The first group coming from the Late Antiquity bears some features of the Late Iron Age tradition. The vessels of the second group contain talc in the clay they are made of. This element is a novelty in production defined so far and is known only from the Rhodopes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Mouthwash is a product used as an adjunct to oral hygiene practices as an antiseptic and antiplaque and antimicrobial agent. The awareness of using mouthwash solution is so limited worldwide. And maybe there¿s an effect of mouthwash on commensal flora. The aim of this study is to measure the effect of using Mouthwash solution on the commensal flora of the oral cavity. In this study, we determined three groups, the first group is considered as a basic group where Female students are not using any mouthwash, the second group used mouthwash twice daily for two weeks, group number three used mouthwash twice weekly. We take a cytological sample scraping from the oral cavity. All the cytological sections of all groups stained with Papanicolaou stain and examined the slides under the microscope. The study came out with the following results: The basic group that did not use any mouthwash remained unchanged, while the second group, who used mouthwash twice daily, showed a clear epithelial tissue for any bacteria and a clear background.

Neuware -Did you know that there is a time-tested non-surgical method of removing arterial blockages without side effects Severe arterial blockages do not have to lead to coronary bypass surgery or heart attacks. Inside this book is a complete program for successfully reversing and preventing hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). The only way to overcome any health problem is to correct its cause. Drugs and surgery cannot do that. Bypass surgery restores circulation temporarily but does nothing to prevent the same or other arteries from plugging up. Bypass surgery can do nothing for blocked arteries that are inaccessible to the scalpel, such as behind the heart or under the skull. By correcting the cause of narrowing arteries, nutritional arterial cleansing can do what the bypass cannot - and much more. Find out how to reduce arterial plaque that has been accumulating for decades. Eliminate angina, shortness of breath and leg pains while walking. Restore warmth and feeling to hands and feet. Avoid amputation of toes, feet, or legs. Arterial cleansing is so successful that it reverses diabetic gangrene, something the medical profession cannot do.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Through human training, humanity gains experience. Without learning this experience, it is impossible for him to come to life. The main way to learn and master that experience is training. It is necessary to know the strain of the wire to form the wire function. Training is a goal-oriented process. Only organized, purposeful and planned learning can be called training. There is a teacher and a student learning in the learning process. The success of the training depends on three factors that are psychologically dependent: what they teach, who teaches, and how teaches. The teaching, learning and upbringing process is always in harmony. Training is the process of teaching new knowledge. Training is only in harmony with education. In the process of modern learning, the teacher's activity is to organize the student's educational and cognitive activities, to build up activities for the upbringing and development of the pupil, and encourage the student to engage in activities that are capable of protecting the state independence, territorial integrity, inviolability of the borders of the country, and enhancing our republic to the level of advanced democracies helping to grow up.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Many investigations have been conducted to examine the latent factors that may affect the writing performance of ESL/EFL learners. Among them, time has been identified as one of the major factors that may activate the limited attention capacity model (LACM)¿a framework considered to exhibit compelling power over the memory processing system. This mechanism may result in possible turbulence in the interactive relationship among writing complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF). The current understanding regarding this aspect, particularly the influence of time on Taiwanese university-level EFL student writing CAF, remains limited. To better understand how the time variable alone may impact the LACM and, hence, writing CAF, the researcher of this study scrutinized the textual outputs created by 43 EFL participants who composed essays given two different timeframes, specifically, 30 minutes and 50 minutes. Both inferential and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the resultant data. The results revealed explicit trade-off models between complexity and accuracy/fluency. This study concludes with pedagogical implications and suggestions for future investigations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Since foster families have choosen to work with children, this work is a kind of profession and they need certain professional skills. Irrespectively how significant the personal qualities of each foster family are, they need a certain amount of pedagogical knowledge. To bring up a someone else¿s child is not the same as to bring up one¿s own child. These might be two different things since foster children as a rule come from violent families where they have experienced emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Each foster child arrives in a foster family with his or her life experience. Foster families have acquired different experience in solving problem situations. A lot of foster families have obtained extra skills and knowledge so that they are able to provide the necessary support for the children. Since foster families carry out not only the family function in many cases, they are also caregivers, teachers and social supporters.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.
