Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -One of the marking features of the 1990s democratization in Niger has been the rise of a variety of Islamic discourses. Laïcité has been among their major preoccupations. For many ulama this secularism contradicts Niger's religious identity. Three voices are presented: the Collaborators, the Moderates and the Despisers. Each group seeks to influence the political and ideological make-up of the state. Although ulama in general remain critical of the state ideological transformation, not all of them reject the separation from religion clause. The Collaborators suggest cooperation between the religious and the political authorities; the Moderates demand governance to accommodate people's will; and the Despisers reject the liberalism that voids religious authority and demand a total re-islamization. I argue that what is at stake is less the separation between state and religion as its modality and impact on religious authority. The targets, tones and justification of the discourses I explore show the limitations of a democratization project grounded in laïcité. Thus, in place of a secular democratization, ulama propose a conservative democracy based on Islam. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book argues that for the two chosen mystics, Mantak Chia (Taoist) and William Blake (Christian), sexual feeling (energy) is vital for developing the mystical consciousness necessary to arrive at an end state of unity'. Their alchemical systems are broken down into a tripartite model that represents the whole person. Both tripartite models incorporate the brain, heart and sexual regions. Ultimately, this book shows that within their alchemical systems, sexual feelings play a role as a vital ingredient, starting point and catalyst in producing the end state of 'unity'. This conclusion is based on a critical comparative analysis of their respective practices and poetry using primary accounts and secondary literary sources. The text also comments briefly on the implications of their systems for an aspirant leading a chaste or married life. 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -After 17 years of heated debate, the German government decided in 2003 to demolish the former Palace of the Republic, once the site of the first free elections and German reunification. This heavily contested site was previously occupied by the baroque City Palace, which is now the focal point of the 'Humboldt Forum' competition aiming to create a world cultural museum in a reconstructed shell of the palace. The heavy symbolism, connection to identity, and historical past factor into the difficulty of creating a new structure with an appropriate program. It is simply not enough to reconstruct an old baroque palace and thus use preservation as an act of forgetting historical events and structures that once occupied the site. Preservation must use a new and inclusive approach to address the complexity of this urban site in the heart of Berlin and thus give future generations the ability to witness structures from the past that help shape their future. 96 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Meditation has emerged as a science in past couple of decades as evidenced by hundreds of articles published in recent years. This book takes this scientific exploration to the next level by targeting a specific state of a meditation-inner light perception(ILP). This book is about the studies conducted on the meditators of Vihangam Yoga in various countries.Our interest in this meditation began when we found that ILP of the meditators in this sect far out-numbered meditators of other techniques. Our first study,a qualitative study on this technique revealed several mystical experiences of the meditators. To obtain an objective marker for this experiene, we conducted the next study with 192 channel Electroenchephalogram (EEG)whose results not only provided it's evidence but sparked interest in several scientists around the globe leading to the use of a series of highly sophisticated techniques like neuropsychology, neural networks and quantum mechanics by investigators of different nations. All these collaborative approaches have revealed unbelievable aspects of Vihangam Yoga meditation and have been compiled here as chapters. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Healthy older adults appear to experience a loss of social support over time owing to natural causes. People with dementia (pwd) and their carers not only experience this loss but are also subject to the social isolation that results from stigmatization. The present study explored the change in social support of carers and pwd compared with a healthy older population. Further, participants were grouped based on type of dementia, stage of dementia and if new friends were made or not. It was found that carers of pwd experience loss of social support four times greater than the healthy older population. Furthermore, the type and stage of dementia as well as the opportunity to replace lost friends were found to impact on severity of isolation. These findings suggest that carers and pwd are suffering from the effects of a lack of social support far more pronounced than in the general older population. Isolation and increased negative interactions might speed up deterioration associated with dementia, and also put carers at risk of depression and dementia through lack of stimulation. Interventions and suggestions for further research are discussed. 100 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The twentieth century saw the emergence of the Psychoanalytic School founded by Freud and his disciples; as a result, a general interest in the unconscious motives in literary works was aroused. One of the tenets of the Psychoanalytic literary criticism is that a writer reveals his unconscious stresses in his work. Thus, the aim of this book is to study and try to understand from a psychoanalytic perspective the life story of Lewis Carroll and the events in his life which led him to write 'Alice in Wonderland'. In the introduction, the identity formation theories are analysed from the perspective of various thinkers. In the second part, the life story of Carroll is examined and his problematic relation to his mother in preoedipal period stands out as the most important stage in his identity formation.In the third part,whole chapters of 'Alice in Wonderland' are examined and it is suggested that Carroll reveals his supressed feelings by identifying himself with Alice. The analysis of identity formation theories should be especially useful to English Language and Psychology students. Also, the book can arouse the interest of anyone who wants to read Alice from another perspective. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This dissertation relates to the technology and applications of mobile computing services and their potential for use in a higher education environment. It briefly discusses the technological foundations of mobility and mobile services and reviews a series of relevant case studies undertaken by various leading higher education institutions across the globe. The main objective of this work is to undertake an investigation of technological and management issues and challenges related to deploying mobile services in higher education. A series of survey findings and feedback from students, academics and staff of the University of Southampton, UK, along with an assessment of some of the current services provided to students in terms of their mobility are reported and analysed. Given the general importance of incorporating mobile services in higher education, a series of three proof-of-concept mobile location-based services are suggested and described. I hope that this study will serve as a motivation for higher education institutions to adopt mobile services as a tool to support their existing learning processes. 108 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The ills of the human Soul---what some refer to as Psyche--- can be profound and have far reaching effects. The absence of a healthy Soul affects the individual, the family, society, and the natural environment. This is systemically reflected in worldwide violence and social upheavals, corrupt political and corporate structures, an unjust global economic system, the egregious disparity between the rich and poor, and the escalating destruction of the environment. The need for a mature, healthy Collective Psyche as well as a model of the Soul that outlines the path to that unifying Psyche has reached a critical level. The model of the Soul offered in this book makes a contribution toward unifying consciousness across cultures and disciplines by illustrating an empirically based phenomenology and epistemology. Alliances between Eastern and Western psychology, philosophy, religion, mysticism, and science are presented. Integration of the mature feminine and masculine is promoted. This book presents an expanded model of the Soul presented in my book, The Anatomy of the Soul: An Authentic Psychology, and is intended to appeal to an erudite audience. 80 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In 2009, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) rolled out a document spelling out five major social, economic and environmental goals it wishes to achieve by 2020. These goals are lofty indeed but they can be achieved only with reliance on not only an enlightened citizenry but also on at least 40 percent of a population that should have received university training. Consequently, university education within the sub-region needs to be reappraised for the purpose of positioning West Africa for the actualisation of its vision. The task of revitalising university education within the countries making up ECOWAS is no more a difficult one as World Bank and international development partners, during the 2009 World Conference on Higher Education, did affirm their commitment to helping Africa develop a virile and relevant higher education system. This commitment shall bear fruit only when the existing low performing higher education structure in the sub-region gives way to a more cost-effective, flexible and massively accessible new structure. This new structure must, by necessity, be Open and Distance Learning based. 72 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The de-objectification of the photograph in the digital era of the medium is one of the many issues regarding 'post-photography' although its consequences on the identity and principles of photography are as yet largely obscure and argued upon. Alongside other more structural transformations, objectless photography will have effects on the medium regarding issues such as memory, indexicality, authenticity and monetary value. While apparent that the object continues to survive alongside new immaterial photographs and influences their implementations, whether or not it is possible for object properties to be assimilated into the new system without transfiguring the medium completely remains to be seen. With the help of discourses from scholars such as Geoffrey Batchen, Damian Sutton and W. J. Mitchell, this master's thesis seeks to answer how vital objecthood is to the medium photography by examining, respectively, the connection of memory to the object and the ideological differences between the object and its digital counterpart. 64 pp. Englisch.

Unified Script is the dream script of the experts, through which they believe, inventors in which the specially designed scripts can substitute the alphabet of any language in chronological order. The scripts are written by using minimum number of strokes (mostly 4), these are self-generating' (such that children themselves can recreate those by following some principles) and create absolutely no change in the speaking sound or style of the language. The scripts are so easy to identify and write that it is possible for the children to learn within 25%-50% of that required for the traditional script. This may save huge time, resources and energy now required in children's education. 'SUS' can be used as second or alternate script of any language. Programs can be made for substituting the traditional scripts of any language by SUS scripts just by pressing a key. Using one script in writing many languages may be highly advantageous for the internet / mobile communications and the printing industries. 64 pp. Englisch.

Earlier studies on these movements have tended to accentuate historical and socio-political dimensions. However, much has not been done on the phenomenology and theology of these movements; consequently, thesis study is a contribution to the lacuna and knowledge. In this social enquiry, qualitative methods were employed to examine the phenomenology and theology of the ACHS. The study investigated beliefs and practices of the African Church of the Holy Spirit (ACHS), a religious movement in Kenya. This involved a theological evaluation of the rituals and their significance in worship, marriage and funeral rites from a Pentecostal point of view. Issues pertaining to Godhead and eschatology are also studied. The research has made three recommendations. 136 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The author is concerned with teaching processes that influence the emergence of social behaviours in preschool children, particularly the quality of peer-peer interactions. As western society moved from an autocratic society to one that values equality and respect for people's rights, there is a need to build courageous, socially responsible, communicating future generations, in which teachers are questioning how best to gain the cooperation of children. Alfred Adler, the founder of Individual Psychology, suggests that a child's level of social interest is shown by their degree of cooperation which can be developed through encouragement processes and strategies such as using a democratic teaching approach with an encouraging attitude; group discussions and decision-making; and the use of consequences, to develop cooperative behaviours in children. A positive link is found between social interest, encouragement and group integration, with boys showing the greatest difference in social interest levels overall. The path of encouragement is the heart and soul of developing a positive learning environment for children and is of great interest for all teachers, parents and educators. 100 pp. Englisch.

Psychoanalysis is one of the most important discoveries of the modern times which has enabled us to uncover the hidden mysteries of human mind and fill out the gapes of meanings and interpretation by discovering the latent layers of literary texts. The author investigates the psychodynamics of love and desire prevalent in Andrew Marvell's most famous poem To His Coy Mistress. Drawing mainly upon Sigmund Freud's concepts of the Id, the Ego and the Superego, he explores the psyche of the anonymous lover of the poem and analyzes the forces of desire and prohibition working in his the mind. The study postulates that the lover's mind is a battle ground of the Id, the Ego and the Superego, where, after a transient success of the Ego and the Superego, Id stands victorious. 84 pp. Englisch.

British literature has become increasingly preoccupied with institutions, and with structures that hem the individual and hence true representation is significantly altered. The novels The Black Album (1995), Intimacy (1998) by Hanif Kureishi and Maps for Lost Lovers (2004) by Nadeem Aslam show the conflicts an individual faces in a fascist society and a belief system that borders on fanaticism. The writers are concerned with the importance of the individual regaining one's own identity and standing up against forces that persist in wiping out any indication of self-creativity. 116 pp. Englisch.

Based on theoretical sources and subjective observations it was assumed that many of the vocabulary items used in the series would be recycled in successive episodes. In order to verify the claim ten episodes were scrutinized resulting in a 20 000 word corpus that was divided into nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. The corpus was compared against the Longman Corpus Network database that includes 3000 most commonly used word in English. It became evident that the majority of the vocabulary items belongs to the list therefore it may be claimed that the language level of the soap opera is not beyond an average English language learner. Based on the vocabulary of the ten episodes the author also suggests three different types of exercises that can be used in the English language classroom. 104 pp. Englisch.

Researchers document the use of students' native languages (L1) as a valuable academic resource tool for ELLs. Research shows that when teachers incorporate students' L1 into classroom instruction, students increase their metalinguistic awareness, learn more academic content, increase their English proficiency, and have more well-developed identities and self-esteem. However, incorporating students' L1 into the classroom can be very difficult in multilingual classrooms or in classrooms in which the teacher only speaks English. Furthermore, it is a political and emotional debate. However, the use of students' L1 can influence the success of ELLs in our school system. Therefore, finding strategies that allow teachers to incorporate students' L1 into the classroom is a vital issue for educators today. This paper addresses the benefits of incorporating students' L1 into daily classroom instruction, methods and strategies for using students' L1, and an example of using students' L1 in a small-group setting. 68 pp. Englisch.

It is segments of language which may be bigger or smaller than a single sentence but the adduced meaning is always beyond the sentence. In this book we have primarily taken a linguistic approach to the analysis of discourse. We have endeavoured to find out how humans use language to communicate and in particular, how addressers construct linguistic messages for addressees and how addressees work on linguistic messages in order to interpret them. 80 pp. Englisch.

The main hypothesis was that the development of phonemic awareness depended of the children's age, schooling and word's structure. The independent variables that were taken into consideration were the age, school and difficulty in the word's structure. The experimenter based on two pilot studies concluded in the test format. The sample that used in the test format constituted of 40 children of 63 to 102 months old which 20 of them were kindergarten children and 20 were students at the first class of an elementary school at Athens, Greece. The data analysis revealed that all of the original hypotheses were supported, because statistical significant was found. Therefore it was proved that the schooling, children's age and word's structure have affection in the development of phonemic awareness. 68 pp. Englisch.
