It focuses on the effectiveness of their educational role in addressing the need of the Muslims. The ideas originated from the ¿Ulama are the reason for the expansion of Islamic knowledge in Marawi City. The efforts of the ¿Ulama brought the true light of Islam on the Maranaws removing most of the mystery and mysticism in the early pagan teachings. They call people to revive the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) by enjoining good and forbidding un-Islamic practices and infuse a fresh breath of Islamic learning. The numerous Madaris and integrated schools in Marawi city were initiated by the ¿Ulama. Madrasah and integrated schools are the centers of Islamic learning,and the places for gaining righteous and divine knowledge. Madaris,Mosques,and limited numbers of Integrated Islamic institutions in the country particularly in Marawi where scholars impart Islamic knowledge and instill Islamic piety through their example and teachings.Finally, one of the issues confronted the ¿Ulama in their educational reform is the lack of subsidy since the government rarely heeds the educational development of the Muslims.

There has been substantial academic research exploring the reasons why corporations engage in Corporate Giving and several theories have been developed to find a correlation between the financial amount distributed and the company's general characteristics. However, there is hardly any research available on corporate donating strategies. This books aims to fill this gap by investigating the donating attributes of the business sector. The analysis, based on research of 355 corporations from eighteen different countries and ten different industries, gives an insight into whether a corporation's industrial group and/or nationality have an effect on the donating behaviour. This book is especially useful for professionals in the Management Accounting as well as Corporate Governance fields, as well as for anyone else who has an interest in Corporate Giving. 80 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the past decades globalization has become one of the most discussed issues in the economic and managerial environment. The increased levels of internationalization of firms created the need for headquarters to formulate precise guidelines of how to manage such corporations regarding their strategic configuration, co-ordination and culture building, resources allocation, and administrative context setting. These four dimensions are used in this book to understand how the Roman Empire, the Medici Family and the Rothschild bank structured their relationships between headquarters and foreign units. Rome was the headquarters of a multinational organization called Roman Empire , which over two thousand years ago faced the challenge of how to conquer and administer the known world. The Medici family developed and managed a tight network of subsidiaries during the medieval period and the Rothschild bank serves as a current example of a corporation facing the challenge of coping with its subsidies all over the world. The book illustrates the four dimensions of coordination and control within multinational firms and discusses the contingencies of diverging approaches. 116 pp. Englisch.

It has previously been found that the attitudes and behaviors of the public are able to cause changes in environmental policy. Therefore, any variable within the public that results in both positive attitudes, and or, behaviors towards sharks would theoretically allow policies that support their conservation to be enacted. Previous studies have found that a person's knowledge about a species group can directly affect their attitudes. In this study it was discovered that knowledge could not only significantly predict a person's attitude but also their behavior towards the conservation of sharks. The higher a person's knowledge the more positive their attitudes, and the more likely they were to behave in a way that would support conservation of these species. However, this study also shows that in general, respondents had a low level of knowledge about sharks. Conclusively, increasing knowledge about sharks is of the utmost importance if legislation protecting this group is to be developed. 108 pp. Englisch.

He then proposes an econometrics model using the regression methodology and panel daya techniques, discusses its empirical results and findings, and puts forward some policy recommendations. The author shows in particular that the main empirical determinants of venture capital fundraising in Europe are ICT expenditures, labour market rigidities, and the regulatory environment. With a strong negative coefficient, the number of IPOs surprisingly does not turn out to be significant in the expected way, which is contradictory with the stylised fact identified in the literature, while possibly being the consequence of European stock market fragmentation. 104 pp. Englisch.

Classical and modern views on rhetoric were also reviewed. Furthermore, besides the manifest rhetorical strategies that were employed by the author, literary matters with rhetorical focus were also highlighted.During this analysis, it came to light that Ben Okri availed himself of the holism that was in-dwelling in the new rhetoric revisionist sensibilities. However, the fact that new rhetoric was built on Aristotelian precedents was also revealed.This research concluded that although literature and rhetoric may not be the same, a very nebulous line, to a discerning critic, separated the two. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As the President of the Supreme Court of Israel, Aharon Barak, said, This century is the century of judicial review . Although this is a well known fact, judicial review is persistently under scrutiny. It is analyzed both from the political philosophy and from the legal philosophy. Since both disciplines inform Constitutional Law, sometimes judicial review is justified on the grounds of politics and sometimes it is justified on the name of the Law, obscuring its study. The lack of a method to distinguish between political philosophy based theories from legal philosophy based theories increases this problem. I propose to use the distinction between form and substance as a method. By using it, chapter one exposes the main substantive theories regarding judicial review, while chapter two exposes a classical formal legal philosophy. Chapter three exposes the distinction itself between form and substance and applies it to the examination of Marbury v. Madison, while chapter four focuses in constructing a formal justification of judicial review. The results should help shed some light about judicial review to anyone interested in Constitutional Law and Legal Theory. 84 pp. Englisch.

However, in matters that affect a large group of people (the public), for instance, cases that seek to cause the enforcement of human rights provisions enshrined in national and international human rights instruments, the bigger consideration of access to justice seem to override the argument for a strict application of the requirement of standing. As a result, many legal systems deviated from the traditional approach and relaxed this requirement in order to allow interested third parties to take up cases of public interest and engage in litigation in defense of the public interest. Human Rights NGOs seem to be leading this endeavor across the world. Although there are variations in the laxity of this standing requirement for human rights groups in different jurisdictions, one could notice a growing interest in the venture with a degree of success in many areas. It could be said that public interest litigation has become an important way of generating social change through the use of law. 72 pp. Englisch.

Behind the large body of academic literature lies the intuitive idea that nominal interest rates should adjust to changed expectations of inflation, leaving the real rate unaffected. Despite the amount of attention the theory has received, the empirical evidence is not nearly conclusive. This book lends considerable weight in support of the Fisher Effect, by modeling the equation under realistic conditions, and relaxing some of the assumptions commonly present in the empirical literature. The assumption of Rational Expectations is circumvented through use of new survey data on inflation from the Consensus Forecast. The model also allows for active monetary policy, using four different monetary regimes: the US, Euro Area, Switzerland, and Sweden. The evidence suggests that interest rates fully adjust to changes in the expected level of inflation, and debt markets act rationally when forming expectations of inflation. This book may be of particular use to monetary or financial economists, and in financial and academic institutions. 92 pp. Englisch.

The cumulus cells (CCs) surrounding the oocyte plays a key role of cytoplasmic maturation. It supplies nutrients, energy substrates and/or messenger molecules for the development of oocyte. Oocyte collection techniques have a significant role in IVM. Maturation media also plays a vital role on developmental potential of oocytes in IVP procedure. To establish a well-defined medium different serum have been extensively supplemented to the basic medium. Follicular fluid after necessary treatments could also be used as an economic supplement in the culture media (TCM-199). 72 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Background: Previous studies have reported on the patterns of use of first-line chemotherapy with platinum doublets in advanced NSCLC. There are no studies of patterns of use of newer agents in advanced NSCLC. We evaluated the nationwide incidence and predictors of use of new agents including bevacizumab, erlotinib, and pemetrexed. Methods: We retrospectively selected patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC diagnosed in 2005 from a random sample drawn from SEER registries to abstract data on clinical and socio-demographic factors and types of anti-cancer drug regimens for up to two years from diagnosis. We used descriptive statistics to report the incidence of use of bevacizumab, erlotinib, and pemetrexed. We used multiple logistic regression to detect predictors of treatment with these new agents. 56 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Current research deals with numerical simulation of two-phase turbulent flows (gas and solid particles), which appear in Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boilers, combusting Estonian local fuel - oil-shale. Many thermal processes in industry take advantage of the significant fluid-solid contacting in fluidized beds to carry out fluid-solid reactions, eterogeneous catalysis and particle drying. Gas-solid fluidization process in circulating fluidized beds is widely applied in many industries. The scientific novelty of the thesis is a gas-solid particle turbulent flow numerical simulation, taking in the advance the real initial data of CFB power plants using Estonian oil-shale ash. The results of the simulation describe the behaviour of oil-shale ash particles in CFB, which could be helpful in improving the efficiency of the combustion process. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is to design, implement, test and cryptanalyze three stream ciphers that are based on the multi-map orbit hopping mechanism (Mmohom), a generic method to design stream ciphers. Mmohocc, multi-map orbit hopping chaotic cipher: chaos has been connected to cryptography due to its confusion and diffusion, the two important properties of a secure cipher. We apply Mmohom to multiple chaotic systems to construct Mmohocc, which greatly accelerates chaos behavior and makes chaos more suitable for cryptographic purposes. The keystreams have passed two batteries of the most popular and stringent statistical tests. Cryptanalysis shows that Mmohocc is resistant against known attacks. Mmohom-LFSR-based cipher: Mmohom is used in conjunction with multiple LFSRs (Linear Feedback Shift Register) to destroy the linearity of LFSRs. Cryptanalysis against algebraic attack is discussed. Mmohoct, multi-map orbit hopping cipher by T- functions: the T-function has maximal single cycle property; meanwhile it has some undesired algebraic patterns. We introduce the Mmohom to destroy the unwanted properties and build two experimental Mmohoct ciphers. 116 pp. Englisch.

Hence, information on morbidity and mortality patterns is essential for decision making or planning purposes. The purpose of this study was to describe the morbidity and mortality patterns for the under-5 year old children who were admitted in 11 district hospitals in Eastern Cape Province from 2000 to 2004. Pre-transitional causes were accountable for more than third of morbidity and mortality which can be associated with low socio-economic and under- development status of the province. The most commonest causes of both morbidity and mortality were diarrheal diseases,lower respiratory tract infections,protein-energy malnutrition and pneumonia. More than 40% of those deaths occured within 24 hours of admission. Multi-sectoral approach is essential to deal with those poverty related diseases in the province. 92 pp. Englisch.
