Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The aim of 'Analysing Harmony' is to make some kind of sense or order from tonal harmony as used in the popular music of the mid-20th century; the kind of music that is known as the 'great American songbook' and used as 'standards' by jazz musicians. The benefit of using this kind of repertoire is that, because it is highly 'refined', in the sense of being systematised and predictable, other musics, such as classical and pop, may be usefully compared with it to highlight similarities and differences of tonal use. The particular purpose of the booklet is twofold. Firstly, it may assist songwriters suffering from the 'lost chord' of songwriter's block. The patterns and substitute chords analysed here can provide a range of chords that have the 'correct' harmonic function: it's then a matter of choosing one according to taste. Secondly, an analytical understanding can greatly assist the improvising musician to develop broader and more complex melodic ideas over longer time-frames, rather than responding to each individual chord as it comes along. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Cinema and modern city are born in the same period of time and have developed concurrently. They have also interacted and transformed each other. Some cities of the world are referred as ¿cinematic cities¿ as a consequence of this representational relationship. Cinema utilizes designerly tools for both the representation and the construction of cinematic reality. Representation of the city in cinema is no exception. For the representation of cities like New York and Berlin, directors make use of designerly tools such as color, lighting and sound to design and construct the visuality of films. In this book, Istanbul is studied in terms of the representational relationship between cinema and the city. The concept of cinematic representation is discussed and cinematic cities are analyzed, also the representation of Istanbul in both Turkish and American cinema is portrayed. Two American films are taken as case study. Designerly tools and their purpose for the representation of Istanbul are discussed through Jules Dassin¿s Topkapi (1964) and Alan Parker¿s Midnight Express (1978) to put Istanbul on the place it deserves together with the other cinematic cities.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Backpacking as a lifestyle and as a business has significantly grown in many parts of the world. Asia has become a popular destination among Western backpackers for its low costs and varied landscapes and culture. Throughout, backpackers seek to avoid the packaged and arranged tours in search of an idealized ¿authentic'' travel. Through an exploration of backpacking culture in South-East Asia, this work explores the relationships of ¿authenticity'' and the ¿experience economy'' from within the paradigm of the tourism industry. Through discussions of how authenticity is staged and consumed in a tourism context, recommendations and branding strategies for backpacking markets in South East Asia are provided.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Book provides overview of natural resource conflict in South Asia with specific case from Nepal. The application of Blake and Mouton''s managerial grid theory on the conflict management has been one of the key aspects of this book. The book is dynamic in the sense that it challenges to the common perception that community forestry of Nepal is most successful in managing its conflict. Findings do not support this idea because collaborating strategy has rarely been used. More application of avoiding and forcing strategy in conflict management indicates that CF is still lagging to realize best possible option such as collaborating strategy. With a short background of South Asian context, three types of conflicts in Community Forest User Group in Nepal are identified. Though, many scholars support CF as successful programme in Nepal but this study reveals that CF has not yet been able to manage its conflict in a more constructive way. This book will be an important book for anyone interested on conflict, governance and natural resource management.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -There has been some discussion in journals and books of whether Business, as a practice with its own institutions, is a profession. The term ''professional'' has both the broad sense of one with paid expertise, and a narrower specific and normative sense. In the latter there is a presumption that standards of theoretical cognitive competence, ethics, and social licensing have been met. For example,credentials have been issued following peer examination of expertise; ethical conduct in a practice will be enforced by a peak institutional body, and there is quasi- monopoly of service provision. The work argues that business is not a profession in the narrower sense, but might approach that status,and perhaps should, if corporate reform at national and international level were to be undertaken. But there will remain inherent difficulties with regard to some essential fatures, especially under an increasingly globalised ''State Welfare Capitalist'' system.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -A utopian dreamscape of adventure and pleasure: such is the promise delivered by Thailand''s Phi Phi Islands- a promise of paradise created, represented and maintained by culture industries such as western popular cinema and tourist and travel organizations world-wide. On the morning of December 26th, 2004, Ko Phi Phi Don, the populated of the two main Phi Phi Island''s, bore the brunt of the Sumatran tsunami as it careened through the Indian Ocean. Loss of life and property was staggering. Yet, thanks to the efforts of a transient volunteer labor force made up of primarily western tourists, Ko Phi Phi Don was rebuilt in a matter of months. The swift economic recovery of the islands and their reintegration back into the global tourist industry reveals the pervasiveness of a 'visual economy' of tourism that transforms spaces and landscapes- even people and natural disasters- into viable commodity forms. This study illuminates the complex forces at work in the creation and re-creation of tourist 'paradises' such as the Phi Phi Islands; forces often beyond the knowledge and control of the visitor as well as the visited.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Even driven hedge funds are often claimed to be cyclical, resp. to be strongly dependent on the state of the aggregate economy. The main goal of this work was to investigate this relationship and try to utilize the dependence in return prediction. The prediction approach here was inspired by an existing linear multi-factor model for hedge fund index returns based on financial market variables known to have explanatory power for equities. This work broadens the set of variables in the predictive model by variables which are believed to have predictive power for the business cycle. For different event driven hedge fund indices a subset of variables with the highest explanatory power has been selected. The resulting models have been shown to have significant in- and out-of-sample performance not only for hedge fund indices but also for individual event driven hedge fund returns. This work should add to the understanding of risk drivers of event driven hedge funds in general and to the assessment of the role of macroeconomic factors in building return expectations for this strategy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Given that our economy has become increasingly turbulent, it is necessary to know how firms can deal with rapidly changing environments. Especially, in business environments where technology advancements accelerate, competition intensifies, and required investments increase, firms long for something to hold on to. A special type of alliance, transitory alliance, is geared to dealing with environmental turbulence. The aim of this study is to investigate the concept of transitory alliance empirically in the Dutch video game industry, thereby providing a better understanding of alliance practices in turbulent industries. The combination of quantitative and qualitative data showed that on five out of six of the characteristics of transitory alliances the typical alliances established by DVGCs tend to be transitory instead of traditional. Furthermore, results indicated a difference in DVGCs that are active in a B2B environment ¿ firms that develop adver and serious games ¿ and in a B2C environment ¿ firms that develop entertainment games. Also, successful and less successful DVGCs in regard to their alliance practices seem to make use of different alliance management tools.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Ad hoc international criminal tribunals set up to deal with the aftermaths of gross and widespread violations of human rights completely ignore victims'' rights and their involvement in the court proceedings. This defect was lately corrected with the establishment of the International Criminal Court (the ICC) that gives room for the compensation of victims and their effective participation in the proceedings. The ICC redress provisions grant victims three kinds of rights: participation, protection and reparation. But only time will certify whether the ICC will provide effective redress to victims.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Some critics have been concerned that young adults in the United States are beginning to turn away from traditional sources of political news such as ABC World News in favor of nontraditional programs such as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. In this study, a random sample of 884 UNC-CH students participated in an online survey that assessed their news consumption habits and political socialization factors such as political knowledge, strength of political opinions, levels of political cynicism, trust, and efficacy, interpersonal communication and political participation. Two clear trends emerged. First, young adults still are using more traditional than nontraditional television news. Comedy shows with political satire were the only nontraditional TV news category to rank in their top five sources of political news. Second, traditional TV news consumption is related to higher political efficacy, while the use of nontraditional news is related to higher political knowledge, opinion holding and activity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The topic of a new revival of the European Union's Mediterranean policy has been on top of the European Union's agenda ever since French President Sarkozy proposed to launch a ¿Mediterranean Union'. The proposal evoked critics in favour and against. Some argued that the initiative would most likely meet the same faith encountered by the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, whilst others appreciated how it had refocused attention upon the Mediterranean, with the potential of revamping relations. Following a brief description of the nature and structures of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and European Neighbourhood Policy, this book shall present an analysis on whether the Union for the Mediterranean may solve the shortcomings faced by the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, which have hindered full cooperation between the European Union and Mediterranean countries. The book is intended both for non-scholars who have an interest in this area of studies, and for scholars wanting a simplistic overview of this Mediterranean initiative.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -While major advances have been made in the area of cancer research over the last few decades, certain aspects of the avascular tumour growth processes remain poorly understood. The mathematical model discussed in this monograph therefore provides a more biologically realistic description of avascular tumour growth by taking into account stochastic cellular and extracellular tumour growth processes. The discussion is presented in two distinct parts¿ the first comprises the construction of a model for avascular tumour growth with random variation, while the second consists of refining the approach to develop a stochastically perturbed avascular tumour model. A numerical solution method was also developed to solve the model with stochastic perturbation, producing a reasonable set of solution results. The model results has shown a reasonably good fit for published experimental data. Convergence analysis of the model solution was also investigated. Mathematical modelling has helped develop a more reasonable approximation to the biological model, and should be especially useful to graduate students and researchers in Mathematics and Biological fields.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -On January 1st, 1994 the North American Free Trade Agreement which involved the Government of Canada, the Government of the United Mexican States and the Government of the United States of America, entered into force. The objectives of this Agreement, among others, were: to eliminate barriers to trade in goods and services, to promote conditions of fair competition in the free trade area, substantially increase investment opportunities, and enhance the competitiveness of their firms in global markets. What have been the effects, if any, of this Agreement on trade patterns between Canada and the United States This paper uses a methodology employed by the CEPII to study of the changes in trade patterns between Canada and the United States using data published by Statistics Canada, International Trade Division. These data, World Trade Country Metadata, include import and export data from 1988-1999, which are used to calculate three trade types--one-way trade, two-way trade in horizontally differentiated (similar) products, and two-way trade in vertically differentiated (quality) products--and track their evolution over the study period.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Over the past decades scent/perfume became part of the apparel industry and many brand names introduced perfumes with their lines. With this boom in popularity there was a need to study scents and their correlation with color. Since there is no literature available on scent vs. color correlation and whether people visualize color while smelling scents, this information could be a useful reference for those who are developing marketable products. This book provides information on visualizing color through scent and brings the smell and color onto the same perceptual platform by introducing fragrance scent/color coding. Results show that people visualize certain color while smelling certain scents. The analysis and the findings of this book will open new perspective for those who never thought that scent is connected with our vision and has an impact on us. Fragrance color coding could also benefit manufacturers/distributors, marketers of perfume products, advertising agencies, chemists developing perfume formulas, and psychologists identifying color correlation, smell, and human reaction.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In today''s business environment the risk management of consumer lending has become critical to protect the interest of both lenders and consumers. Following the presentation of the main issue in the consumer credit market and the introduction of credit scorecards, I analyze a Hungarian dataset of loans for personal needs. The analysis evaluates comparatively the prediction accuracy of several methods used in consumer credit scoring. I have documented the superior performance of logit and neural estimations. I also have found supporting evidence for the use of WOE as inputs in estimating predicted default probabilities. Following Siddiqui (2006), I have used a linear transformation to compute a traditional statistical scorecard. Developing easy to interpret statistical scorecards is essential when the lender has a legal obligation to explain its refusal of an application.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Shipment Consolidation is a logistics strategy that combines two or more orders or shipments so that a larger quantity can be dispatched on the same vehicle to the same market region. This book aims to emphasize the importance and substantial cost saving opportunities that come with shipment consolidation, either by offering new mathematical models or by improving on the current body of literature. With a rigorous approach, this book provides analysis and management insights not only in the fundamentals of shipment-consolidation policies but also in formulations and applications in the contexts of multi-item order consolidation and pricing decisions. With increasing concerns in contracting economies and in environmental instability, shipment consolidation offers solutions to achieve scale and discount economies, and thus purveys greener and more sustainable transportation. In global supply chain operations, further gains are realized by shipment consolidation which is becoming the wave of the future for international commerce and logistics.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -When firms face a decline in their activity level, managers are confronted with the dilemma of retaining unutilized resources or removing committed resources and incur adjustment costs to replace these resources when demand is restored. The decision to keep unutilized resources leads to cost stickiness, namely, the phenomenon when costs decrease by less percentage than the decrease in the activity level. Sticky costs can send a positive or negative signal about future performance depending on the reasons why costs are not adjusted as response to a decrease in the activity level. Managers will most likely keep excess resources if there are more profitable investment projects available in the future. Thus, this book examines the relationship between cost stickiness and future performance and whether this relationship is moderated by the Investment Opportunity Set, which measures the value of a firm''s investment opportunities. While it is unclear whether cost stickiness affects positively or negatively future performance, the analysis should be beneficial to managers, financial analysts, auditors,governments and business researchers when assessing the consequences of cost stickiness.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Two methods of data collection were devised during this study, i.e., questionnaire distributed to selected farmer members of the cooperative in order to gather information about factors underlying farmers'' decision to use marketing coordination through marketing cooperative, and interviews with resource persons in Nautilus Cooperative to explore information about marketing coordination applied in the cooperative. The study also reviews various relevant documents, including research reports and publications available in Nautilus as well as other sources.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Teenage pregnancy receives much attention around the world, partly because of the potential disruptions in a teenage mother''s life. Previous research regarding teenage pregnancy has mainly focused on the ¿problematic¿ nature of this phenomenon while not enough research has been undertaken focusing on understanding the topic from the teenagers'' perspectives. Efforts to understand this complex phenomenon within different contexts might contribute to unpack the reasons why teenagers fall pregnant. This book therefore, unravels the complex facilitators and inhibitors of teenage pregnancy from the perspective of teenagers themselves. Three groups of teenagers are analyzed as they tell their stories. The author takes the reader through the feelings, perceptions and reasons for teenage pregnancy in peri-urban KwaZulu-Natal. Teenage girls'' perceptions and experiences are analyzed using current South African research findings which address the issue of teenage pregnancy/fertility.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Though the impacts of climate change will be wide spread and felt globally, its effects will be hardest on the poor countries of the world, especially African countries. Climate change could worsen already existing conditions of food insecurity, shortage of water supply, malnutrition, poor health, lack of access to education and indecent standards of living in African States. This is because these poor societies are the weakest in terms of structures both legal and institutional, and in terms of resources needed to adapt to the effects of climate change. This work examines the legal and institutional framework needed in developing countries to mitigate and adapt to the short and long term effects of climate change. Using Nigeria as a case study, this work examines the efficacy of an integrated management approach as a possible replacement for the traditional/piecemeal adaptation strategies that have proved unsuccessful in most developing countries in Africa.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The term ¿microfinance¿ (MF) refers to the provision of banking services to lower-income people, especially the poor. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) have been the first to identify the large unserved demand for microcredit in developing countries, develop methodologies for delivering and recovering small loans, and begin credit programs for the poor. Given their nature, though, MFIs can normally meet only a fraction of the demand for microloans in their service areas. Commercial banks have begun to see MF as a potentially profitable business and are starting to venture into this field. This approach to MF (known as ¿downscaling') is different from that of ¿upgrading¿ or transforming MFIs into regulated institutions. Evidence is currently showing that financial institutions can profitably attend MF needs on a massive scale. We explore the main aspects and future outlook in connection with commercial banks provision of MF services. A review is made of the incentives and disincentives for financial institutions to venture into the MF sector, and their specific advantages and disadvantages when competing in this market.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Networks of coupled oscillators are observed in various domains of science. From physics to economy through biology, they are used to explain how collective behaviour emerges from interacting oscillators. In this book, we study through two specific examples, how biological systems use the distinctive properties of interconnected networks, widely studied in the biophysical science, to propagate informations and regulate vital physiological processes. Our interest focuses on: (1) Extension of the study of the communication via Ca2+ waves to a 1D and a 2D array of cells. (2) Communication through the quorum sensing phenomenon governing the transition from the saprophytes way of life to the infectious cycle for pathogenic bacteria particularly for Dickeya dadantii (Ex Erwinia Chrysanthemi) bacteria.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Following the recent efforts to study EU lobbying in comparative perspective, this work examines EU lobbying in comparison to the US as both systems share similar federal arrangements and multi-level governance. The paper analyzes the impact of the institutional setting on lobbying, the type of the interest representation and the lobbying legislation of the EU from the point of comparison, identifying obvious similarities along with differences and clarifying some points as well as contributing to the EU comparative studies. Along with the similarities, the paper identifies a noticeable difference between these two systems: while the US has well-regulated lobbying legislation, the EU has so far regulated this industry by the non-compulsory Code of Conduct, which does not guarantee the transparency of the lobbying practices. While the work names the probable drawbacks that transparent lobbying legislation might bring for the EU including the threat to efficiency and effectiveness of the system, it stresses the need for robust legislation in order the EU to achieve the same standards that exist in the US.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Leader-member exchange (LMX) theory examines the relationship and role processes between a leader and individual followers. The theory is based on the understanding that leaders establish individual and mutually exchanged relationships with those in a subordination position. A leader typically has one major prevailing style of leadership, but most don''t treat all followers the same way (Thomas, 2003). This empirical study was conducted in a multinational semiconductor industry in Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone in Penang, Malaysia. The independent variable was LMX with four sub-scales: Affect, loyalty, contribution and professional respect. The dependent variable was job satisfaction with two subscales: Intrinsic and extrinsic. This research uses a multidimensional approach and seeks to identify which of the subscales in LMX have a higher relation with satisfaction of employees in their job.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The open-source software development model emerged as a serious competitor to proprietary software development models. Open-source development relies on the efforts of voluntary individuals and organizations to develop, test and use the software. This first essay, focuses on understanding the development process of open-source systems by looking at the communication between the two groups as an important indicator of the sophistication of the system. We argue that this continuous feedback loop is a determining factor of the system evolution. The essay presents a theory regarding it, develops its constructs and suggests a methodology to test the theory. The second essay focuses on the adoption of open-source Health Information Technology (HIT) in the delivery of health care. More specifically, it looks into the challenges that face the adoption and the implementation of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. Open-Source software is an alternative to proprietary software. The study examines the specifics of open-source EMR systems in order to see how such systems may alleviate some of the challenges of the adoption and the implementation of traditional proprietary EMR systems.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.
