This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Disputes in the oil and gas industry can range from quantity and quality disputes, jurisdiction disputes, disputes involving equipment, gas contracts, oil trading contracts, subcontracting and a host of them. In the oil and gas industry, you tend to find different contractors from different parts of the World coming together in a joint venture, or some sort of arrangements for commercial purposes. Generally, dispute is inevitable, so also in the oil industry. Therefore it is advisable and necessary to anticipate likely disputes in advance and provide a suitable means to resolve such disputes. The need for processes that are fast, effective and cause minimum or no disruptions to working activities and relationships are always appropriate. Processes that are both private and flexible are most preferred by the oil industry. This is because the nature of the oil industry is a peculiar one in the sense that it makes or loses money per second of production or non-production. This work summarises and discusses why resort to court is inevitable in the Oil and gas industry. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Author analyzed the existing methods in regionalization studies to Predict Ungauged Basins and considering all the aspects a new methodology is developed, which is named as RDS Method. ROPE(R) Data depth (D)-Spatial Proximity (S) together gets this name RDS. Robust Parameter Estimation (ROPE) algorithm ensure all parameter vectors robust with the following criteria: (i) lead to good model performance over the selected time period (ii) lead to a hydrologically reasonable representation of the corresponding process (iii) insensitive (iv) transferable (can be regionalized). Data depth function is used to find the boundary or the outlier of the catchments to identify donor catchments. It s also used in ROPE algorithm. Application of the Spatial proximity-one of the earliest approach consists of transferring parameters from neighboring catchments to the ungauged catchment, the inspiration being that catchments that are close to each other should have similar behavior since climate and catchment conditions should vary evenly in space. Blending this three key (ROPE- Data depth- Spatial Proximity) concept together brought a new light in predicting Ungauged Basins. 128 pp. Englisch.

During the course of the same year floods affected over 350,000 people. However little has been done in dealing with the aftermath of these catastrophes and an attempt is made in this research to explore the possibility of compensation through comprehensive first party natural disaster insurance schemes, to mitigate the effects of these Natural disasters. whereas comprehensive first party Natural disaster Insurance may not be overstated as a panacea to combat the devastating effects of natural disasters and as the only hope for the victims, just like no single insurance policy including those that have existed since time immemorial have ever been the ultimate remedy to events covered, comprehensive first party natural disaster insurance as I advance for it is not a one size fit all but only a viable option that warrants exploration in Uganda to supplement government efforts in mitigating the effects of Natural disasters. 72 pp. Englisch.

This situation has resulted in most women and young girls accessing abortion services illegally and in most cases inducing their own abortions through various crude means because of the unavailability of abortion services. This situation has resulted in dire medical and psychological complications experienced by these women. The majority of these complications can be avoided if the law on abortion can be relaxed to allow women access quality abortion services without fear of legal consequences. It is clear that the impediments to such a relaxed legal situation is not merely a question of legal reform, but also a battle of hearts and minds, and at times confusing theological discourse. 112 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The author reviews published research papers, articles, policy documents and case studies on energy efficiency (EE) projects completed in developed and developing EE markets to establish the key factors driving those markets. A broad analysis of existing financing models and support policies for implementing EE projects by lenders and investors is done, with inferences drawn on possible financing model adaptations for use in the South African market. The Brazil,India,South Africa, UK and USA markets are analysed in terms of structure, development and complex participant relationships. Noted in particular is the apparent slow uptake by lenders to fund EE projects in developing markets, despite the evident substantial projected returns and policy support frameworks. The behavior of lenders suggests the classical information asymmetry problem between lenders (buyers of future project cash flows) and project owners (borrowers) selling EE project cash flows, specifically in developing markets. The author suggests a financing model and modifications that may be adopted for the South African market drawing on appropriate features of existing financing models in other markets. 100 pp. Englisch.

The causes of student unrest in Kenya are largely external issues, and in a few instances, internal factors such as poor quality and type of food. The purpose of this study was to analyze the existing conflict resolution mechanisms in Kenyan public universities. The study sought to achieve the following objectives: to identify the types of conflicts prevailing in the Kenyan public universities and to analyze the existing mechanisms in resolving them. The disciplinary mechanisms were found to have perpetrated victimization of participants especially during dialogue. In addition, the existing conflict resolution mechanisms have led to the following: decisions take a longer time to be made; notable failure to implement certain resolutions; and students leaders are subjected to corrupt deals to cover up certain conflict areas. When there are no conflicts between students and staff of all cadres, everyone benefits. The students are able to complete their studies on schedule while lecturers can also plan their time for teaching as well as for their research. 100 pp. Englisch.

This is reflected in the designed activities in which the students have to use their reading/listening abilities to understand, analyze and report on authentic English texts. All the tasks included in this work are strongly related to the input and include clear rubrics. To avoid any type of deviation from the main aim of the tasks, which focus on developing the student s ability to read/listen, analyze, organize and share the deduced information with the whole class orally and in writing. Another main point that was taken into consideration in these teaching units was the importance of including moments of revision and recapitulation of some previously introduced grammatical points so that the students would practice what they had already learnt. Moreover, as the themes of the teaching units suggest there is a tendency to educate and teach at the same time. The actual work also makes the students recognize themselves as part of a whole community. 80 pp. Englisch.

It has similarly spawned the births of numerous manifestations of non-governmental institutions, which potentially complement the approximately 7,000-9,000 higher education institutions that exist worldwide. Improving education is an oft-cited goal of many countries' development efforts including Kenya, in her most recent Vision 2030 plan for development yet many scholars and students alike fall short when they deem only primary or secondary education as the main avenues to realize development goals. This exploratory, qualitative study considers if Kenyan higher education public or private institutions play a role in the country's development process. 76 pp. Englisch.

In-sample volatility forecasts show that both MVX and VIXC significantly improve the fit of a GJR GARCH(1,1) model. However, VIXC dominates MVX for predicting future volatility. Out-of-sample volatility forecasts also indicate that VIXC outperforms MVX for the 1-, 5-, 10-, and 22-day forecasting horizons. we also investigate the predictive power between VIXC and alternative volatility forecasts derived from historical index prices.We find that for time horizons lesser than 10-trading days, VIXC provides more accurate forecasts. However, for longer time horizons, the historical volatilities, particularly the random walk, provide better forecasts. 88 pp. Englisch.

This project concentrate properly on trips generation for modelling transport demand rather the modal split and transport assignment.Trips generation relationships for Ogbomoso road network were developed using the base year data of traffic volume. The gravity model expression which relates trip production and attraction to land use and social economic indicators were used to simulate trips production for the year 2016. The study area (Ogbomoso road networks) were broken down into four major zones based on the standard of gravity model that each zone must generate more than 15% of the total trips. Traffic counts were conducted on each of the four zones to get the present traffic situation. The result here generates the attraction and production trips values Aj & pi which was used together with social economic factor, land use pattern and transportation cost to analyse the gravity model. 72 pp. Englisch.

It also explore the differences between beginner and experienced teachers in their attitudes toward and satisfaction with supervisory practices and (possible) relationships with perceived professional development, with a sample of 200 teachers using independent sample t-test, correlation and regression analyses. Results reveal that except for peer coaching and portfolios, the selected supervisory approaches were less frequently practiced in private and government schools. No significant differences were found between beginner and experienced teachers in their attitudes and satisfaction toward supervisory processes practiced at their schools. Moreover, significant weak to moderate positive relationships were found of the actual supervisory approaches, teachers' attitudes and satisfaction with professional development. However, regression analysis showed that teachers' attitudes and teachers' satisfaction are the most important contributors to professional development. 76 pp. Englisch.
