Based on the research gaps found in the literature, the study focuses on two discussion points: What are the relevant aspects regarding the ethical dimensions of entrepreneurial journalism How can one deal with the ethical issues deriving from practicing entrepreneurial journalism The theoretical framework of entrepreneurial ambidexterity is applied since it can be used on the individual level and involves in its essence performing two seemingly conflicting tasks at the same time. The current study uses a qualitative approach to obtain data by conducting semi-structured interviews with 8 practitioners from the USA, Albania, Bulgaria, Germany and the Republic of North Macedonia.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Scientists are working hard to find out the anti-viral drugs and vaccine. Regarding the origin of this dreadful virus, there are some controversy and scientists are trying hard to find out the remedy so that this type of dangerous virus may not originate in future. Thus the study of the present virus is needed both at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. With this background, an attempt has been made to write a book on coronavirus dealing with some important aspects which will be helpful to students.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Physics of today is in a chaotic situation. This sitation is explained in the book as caused by our confusions regarding the relation between mathematics and physics, and also by our bad understanding of the wave model for light. It is demonstrated that a correct application of the wave model means, that the particle model for light is not needed, and that using wave model only means that we can get rid of the absurdities in physics of today, However, we need the ether, and particles may be needed for describing the ether. The book denonstrates that the confusion in physics is older than generally assumed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -A network architecture, named NARA, based on recursive addressing is proposed. The Internet is modeled as a network of autonomous sites, each being a collection of nodes. Each site is named by a site address drawn from a global number space while each node is named by a node address drawn from a number space local to each site. Routing among sites depends solely on site addresses while that among nodes within each site on node addresses. Flat routing to render inherent mobility and cached routing as well as virtual routing to additionally cope with the table size are proposed. The model can recursively repeat itself both outwards and inwards in the network, enabling its applicability, for example, to inter-planetary as well as body area networks. The generic architecture NARA is then projected on IPv6 as an implementation example. Instead of introducing a new number space to unload the equivocal semantics of the IP address, the specific implementation, called SID6 (Subnet ID Deprecated for IPv6), removes the interface semantics of the Global Unicast IPv6 address which is then to exclusively identify a node and so is to be used solely as the node address.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Having worked for years in mental health care and as a lecturer on a variety of Health and Social Care related degree programmes I developed a strong interest in mental illness. Especially the issues around hallucinations were of interest to me, as some hallucinations had the power to overwhelm the sufferer, while others revealed themselves as unreal to the one having these hallucinatory episodes. In this book I try to make a case for the pseudo-hallucinations, which have - by some - been deemed as a redundant concept. By way of a phenomenological investigation I argue that the concept of pseudo-hallucinations is an important one and that the essential difference between hallucinations and pseudo-hallucinations could even be empirically established.This book is supposed to inform the advanced student, practitioner and academic researcher either working in mental health, psychiatry or in the application of philosophical and phenomenological thought to psychopathologies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book examines blockchain technology in shipping and, more specifically, the approval by the International Group of P&I Clubs of the public blockchain platform, CargoX in February 2020. The shipping industry has made an enormous progress towards blockchain-based bills of lading. However, due to the absence of a relevant legal framework, recognizing the ability of data to perform the same legal functions as paper bills of lading, it is crucial to use blockchain platforms which can achieve the desirable legal outcome. The purpose of this book is to examine the legal contractual framework underlying the blockchain platform, CargoX in order to prove that it indeed accomplishes the performance of the traditional bill of lading's legal functions and that blockchain can pave the way towards the digitalisation of transport documentation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The accelerated pace of economic-social development carries the military instrument in its bandolier, the one with which it every so often reverses tempos, shares methods and exchanges roles. If the Cold War showed us that it was possible for humanity to be destroyed through nuclear weapons, the decades after the fall of the Iron Curtain came with distilled versions for rearranging the power in the international framework. This phenomenon brings along developments of the internal frameworks of manifestation of the states, those of some economic agents that often exceed the economic power of some countries, as well as a fierce competition between the powers that pursue a global or regional status. Far from being fair play, the competition even insinuates and initiates a stepping out of the picture of the human being, the one who is made to build an alter ego with technical features that are apparently planned for his/her own good.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu.

The experiment was carried out in Randomised Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Four levels of phosphorus (P0, P20, P4o and P60) and four levels of boron (B0, B0.5, B1 and B1.5) were taken as treatments. The response of soybean to various treatments were recorded. It was found that the Phosphorus and Boron application significantly influenced the growth, yield and yield attributes, the protein content, nutrient uptake (NPKB) and available soil nutrient (NPKB) at different levels of P and B. Their combined effect also showed significant influence in all the stages of its observation. The combined application of 60 kg P2O5 and 1.5 kg B ha-1 was found to promote better growth, development and yield of soybean under the acidic soil condition of Nagaland.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

It is a common problem encountered in gynecological infertility, family planning, postnatal, legal abortions and sterilization clinics in India and abroad.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This script explores the rationale of interwovenness and profound philosophical thinking that a God, had to be part of the predictive processing entropies of the brain with the South African Theologian, Wentzel J. van Huyssteen's epistemological consciousness as an extra advantage to examine our planet and therefore our cosmic-universe that transcends human God-concepts. In this material, the connection between metaphysically free energy, and Van Huyssteen`s epistemic consciousness are used as a metaphor(s) in our estimates of what life is, that include a God, as it will show that we as humans can reasonably expect to exist beyond this (the) earth. It is therefore the primary question that resonates with the whole of the universe as well as the minute fragmentation that is humans, only recently identified as sapiens, that sigh, or even better, longing for a God, that encloses the question of: are we as humans made of organs, metabolic systems, cells, atoms, memories, or passions, that are a plausible mixture of an effective cognitive and effective cocktail, so to speak Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.
