Because of financial restrictions and commercialization difficulties of many eco-entrepreneurs in the renewable energy technology industry, this book explores the role of venture capital in these start-ups. Understanding the barriers and triggers of venture capitalists to invest in this industry might be of significant value for the change towards renewable energy because their investments are often contributing and intertwined with the commercialization of innovations. By means of an exploratory study consisting of interviews with venture capitalists in the Netherlands, this study tried to establish in particular the influence of perceived uncertainties and agency problems. The discussion of the findings results in several relevant insights for policy makers and other actors in the energy industry, mainly reflecting the importance of a stimulating institutional and social environment, consistent government intervention and network creation. 76 pp. Englisch.

After 17 years of independence, Kazakhstan has succeeded in a number of significant achievements. In his annual message, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan highlighted the necessity of adjusting the tax system in accordance with the tasks required for a new stage in the development for Kazakhstan. However, this decision to create a new tax code was made in February 2008 when the oil price was steadily growing, and a great number of oil experts were of the firm belief that the price of oil per barrel would reach $200 . The oil shock of 2008, when the price of oil per barrel decreased below $40, was an absolutely unexpected event. The current oil market itself represents a natural tool that will measure the efficiency of the new tax code in real life situations. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to find out if the new tax code was created simply to generate more oil revenue with a pointless increase in the burden on taxpayers or if it was developed with the intention of creating an efficient as well as effective tax system. 56 pp. Englisch.

Results showed a significant increase in 1RM in both groups, p=0.00 and p=0.003, while post hoc tests showed no significant difference between groups post 4 weeks, p=0.33, a more substantial increase was observed in the creatine group. There was also a significant increase in body mass in both groups, p=0.00 and p=0.013, while post hoc tests showed that there was no significant difference between groups post 4 weeks, p=0.767, a more substantial increase was observed in the creatine group. A significant difference was found in total body water (TBW) in the creatine group, p=0.002, with no change in the placebo group, p=0.889. There was no change in muscular endurance, total work done, BMI, fat% or skin-folds measures. Although creatine supplementation did not show significant differences in 1RM, TBW or body mass compared to the placebo, there was a distinctive pattern in the data suggesting that creatine leads to an enhanced training affect. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A critique of the theme of self-identity in Edwin Muir's poetry, the four essays in the book dissect the poet's diction to explore the philosophical context of issues intrinsically interrogative and inconclusive. Studying the self's attempts to recover and identify with an internalized other, the first essay evaluates the politics of archetypes, illustrating how the vision of unqualified harmony is marred by intricate dualisms of subjectivity/objectivity, time/memory and reality/dream. The second essay, ontologically analyzing the plurality of split-personality, discusses the dimensions of fractured linguistic icons i.e., the alienation of the components of the referential system within which the self operates. The third essay interprets poems that defy the idealist approach to the human mind in the light of the theory of externalism while the fourth one, exploiting Derrida's theory of metaphysics of presence, examines the dynamics of the absent self that makes its presence conspicuous by the very virtue of being absent. The book is designed to help students and researchers in the disciplines of both literature and philosophy. 92 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Over the last few years, Microfinance has been widely accepted as a viable policy option for poverty reduction by the donor community, international organizations, governments and non-governmental organizations. In order to investigate this underlying premise, this study examined empirical evidence in Ethiopia to check whether microfinance is a good poverty reduction strategy. For this purpose, the two cases (ACSI and Wisdom) were analyzed in terms of their design, outreach, financial performance, sustainability and impact. The study's findings indicate that microfinance is indeed a strategy for poverty reduction in Ethiopia. However, microfinance is an instrument along with other development interventions rather than a poverty reduction strategy in isolation. Microfinance alone cannot defeat poverty. It should be integrated with other development interventions where, the government and donor agencies could play a great role. 68 pp. Englisch.

Both obesity and low fitness/physical activity are associated with increased levels of hs-CRP. Since, young people may not present with high levels of traditional risk factors (e.g. total blood cholesterol, LDL), the identification of at risk young individuals can be difficult. The development of the high sensitivity- CRP assay may help to better predict future risk in young individuals. It is currently unknown if hs-CRP is increased in physically fit/ physically active young people who have increased body fat percentage, or if high cardiorespiratory fitness and high physical activity levels will overpower any effect of adiposity on hs-CRP. The aim of this investigation was to examine hs-CRP in college aged individuals with high or low percent body fat matched for physical fitness and physical activity. 64 pp. Englisch.

The finding has shown that negative transfer of English loanwords could be seen in a learners' English usage. The level of the negative influence is decided by the types of modifications that loanwords undergo in their adoption process: It is also found that there are levels of difficulties in acquiring correct usage of Speech Modification > Semantic Modification > Wasei Eigo (English made in Japan) > Morphological Modification > Straightforward Loanwords ('>' means 'is more difficult than').

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The incidence of Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) coverage in Idaho secondary schools is below the national level of 35% (Lyznicki, Riggs, and Champion, 1999). The greatest concentration of ATCs employed in Idaho secondary schools is in higher populated schools, although 75% of schools in the state of Idaho at the time of this study had student populations of less than 750. This notable lack of coverage in smaller schools is a distinct disadvantage for student-athletes. Overall, secondary school sports health care must increase for smaller populated schools. Regarding ATCs who are currently employed, the athletics/activities directors' perceptions of ATCs' roles and responsibilities revealed they expect ATCs to spend more time completing activities outside the Role Delineation Study domains, and these duties were perceived as important by athletics/activities directors. Athletic directors must be cognizant of the roles and responsibilities of ATCs in the secondary school setting as outlined by the NATABOC. Furthermore, this study suggests way to increase ATC incidence and optimize sports health care coverage in the secondary school setting. 40 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Beta of a stock is an index which measures its volatility relative to the market rate of return (Systematic risk). The beta of a stock is a critical component in not just valuing a stock but a company as well. Beta gives investors a fair idea of the risk associated with a particular security relative to the market, as such, enables them make informed decisions. Arguably, the absence of valid beta data of companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) has partially contributed to the unattractiveness of the stock market as both local and foreign investors are not well informed about the risk of particular stocks. Thus, this research, seeks to provide investors and academicians with valid beta data. 92 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The profitability of investing in Dutch execution auctions is compared to an investment made in a predefined set of stock indices. Theories and empirical evidence will support the approach to the subject by describing the various auction systems and by delineating the available economic possibilities when contemplating an investment in execution auctions. Through the results gained from a personal research conducted on a sample of 137 properties and a list of 60 stock indices it will be shown that the risk to return relationship (Sharpe ratio) is higher for the real estate properties than for most of the indices. When isolating the properties sold at the auction in Amsterdam, which on average have negative returns, the remainder of the sample show returns that are higher than any of the indices. This thesis will therefore prove that it is profitable to invest in the execution auction market of real estate properties. Further research on the subject might include the comparison of the profitability of investing in the execution auctions with that of purchasing properties of plan that are resold after completion. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -An influential body of theoretical literature documents the role of financial systems on economic growth. As the bulk of this literature is focused on developed economies, little is known about the effects of the less developed financial systems in African countries. Now that the world becomes increasingly aware of the importance of the development of African economies, it is even more interesting to have a good understanding of the effects of financial systems on the African continent. Therefore this manuscript analyzes the effects that financial systems have on the economies of several African countries, laying its main focus on stock markets. It examines whether the existence of stock markets in African countries influences economic growth within the involved countries. In order to find this out, a panel data set with annual observations from 1988-2008 for 17 African countries is constructed. An OLS regression with panel-corrected standard errors is performed on this panel. The fact that both stock market development indicators enter the regression significantly shows that the presence of stock markets on the African continent is definitely not insignificant for its economies. 72 pp. Englisch.

Ethiopia is not an exception. It was more challenging and difficult one in the southern part of the country. In Southern Ethiopia a relatively high number of the societies preserved and transmitted their history, culture, Social values and customs from generation to generation in different ways including oral traditions. Hence oral historiography was and still is our major source of the study of history of many societies in Africa in general and Ethiopia in particular. This is also the case in Dawro where oral tradition played a pivotal role in the study of history. Oral tradition, however, needs special attention and a careful appreciation of its limitations for the validity and credibility of the oral data and it became the major task of a Historian in order to study the history of many Medieval and Post-Medieval societies and states in Africa in general and Ethiopia in particular. 108 pp. Englisch.

Thirteen years later, Dylan has not yet received the Nobel; Bob Dylan could not care less. In contrast to Bob Dylan's never-ending stoicism, however, the nomination revived the ongoing Dylan debate about Dylan's canonical status in the academic world; Does Bob Dylan deserve the Nobel Prize in Literature Is Bob Dylan's art literature Is Bob Dylan a poet Is Bob Dylan high culture or mere pop culture In the currently expanding field of literary Dylan Studies, there is the, logical, tendency to study Dylan's songs from a textual perspective. In these analyses however, Dylan's song lyrics are treated as mere words, text, entirely leaving his music out of the academic discussion. In this book, Frank Bond provides a critical look into the most prominent academic approaches to Dylan's lyrics, and subsequently proposes a more productive and adequate analysis which also incorporates the musical elements of Dylan's song lyrics. 120 pp. Englisch.

He has left a substantial legacy of compositions to be performed and studied by musicians and scholars. Research on Vladigerov and his compositions has been rather limited in North America. Further study of Vladigerov s music is important because of its compositional value as well as its historical significance and contribution to the development of classical music in the Bulgarian region. Pancho Vladigerov is a central figure in the history and development of Bulgarian music in the twentieth century. Studying his professional career reveals a great deal about his life and works, but also about Bulgarian music in general. Vladigerov is responsible for bringing the composition of art music in Bulgaria up to the standards of the West. This research will focus specifically on a set of two pieces titled Two Bulgarian Paraphrases: Horo and Ratchenitza, Op. 18. It will provide detailed historical background as well as theoretical and performance analysis. 80 pp. Englisch.

I chose the career of Ettore Sottsass, which is paradigmatic of Postmodernism, to identify and clarify both what is common to Postmodernism and what is distinctive about Droog. This is a search for the roots of Droog's unique understanding of design. The rational is not longer the main driver of design. Creating experiences and involving the senses is now the motivation. Creativity is no longer a matter of making, but a reorganization of what already exists. It is a process where intuition leads the way and a special value is given to the normal. This opens up the possibility of criteria for evaluating design that goes beyond the formal and the functional. A designer can trust his/her intuition to decide what is the most natural, comfortable and familiar way to engage with a product. This is a new way to understand good design and appreciate the importance objects have in our lives. 88 pp. Englisch.

Although research has proven a correlation between the level of education a person completes with the level of Kohlberg's higher stages of Moral Development, there is currently a lack of traning models specifically focused on raising individuals ability to make and act upon solid ethical decisions. This book outlines a model that is used to train counselors and psychologists. Rest's Defining Issues Test is used to measure the effectiveness of the training in raising the moral development level of the participants. The Defining Issues Test (DIT) uses Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development to measure participants' level of moral functioning. This book includes: A review of the literature surrounding ethical training models; Presents two different ethical decision making models; An outline of a traning model along with handouts and lesson plans; a description of the statistics used and the results of the training model when used to train master's level counselors in training.

Using key concepts of Pierre Bourdieu, the author provides a detailed analysis of the help system for the homeless mentally ill in Berlin. Qualitative interviews with 25 stakeholders of this help system were conducted and analyzed. The author reveals that this fragmented help system frequently fails to address the most vulnerable homeless who suffer from both psychiatric disabilities and substance abuse problems. A possible solution to this challenge is presented: the Housing First approach that was developed in New York. Using this relatively recent innovation, ideas are illustrated which have been proven to be effective in promoting social inclusion of the homeless mentally ill. This book provides a foundation for informed discussion and further research about how to counteract social exclusion of this hard to reach' population, and should be especially useful to social and health professionals, policy makers and researchers committed to supporting this group more successfully. 100 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Traditional approaches in teaching geometry are pedagogically authoritative in nature and thus, students are not encouraged to question the validity or construction of geometrical entities. The use of technological resources with a variety of learning activities is usually limited. This book, therefore, describes a research project that studies the use of a Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) tool in geometry learning and its implications for students' learning experiences. The dynamic and interactive medium of DGS provides students with an opportunity to share and discuss visually emergent geometrical phenomena. Apart from its implication for students' cognitive development, a DGS tool may have an effect on students' learning experiences in geometry classes from different aspects. The research analysis should help in picturing the effects of the use of a DGS tool with the presence of other factors, such as group work and the use of worksheets on certain changes in students' learning experiences of geometrical concepts. Therefore, this book should be especially useful to math teachers, educators or anyone else who may be interested in the use of computer technology in math education. 100 pp. Englisch.

The experience of Africa with higher education shows that this subsystem of education since the 1960s was regarded as a sign of hope in lifting the continent from poverty. This book analyses the course of development discourses deployment to understand Africa's fate. More specifically, the book explores how historically Mozambique embraced neoliberal ideology in the context of global processes in the 1980s and 1990s and how neoliberal discourses on development have been used to steer higher education in particular direction in the country in the past fifteen years. The book undertakes an analysis of specific technologies of hope to understand how globalization process is evoked and how neoliberal ideologies on development are effected in the broad society. The result of such transformations is a higher education for more technologist development with very little attention to the social and human sciences as the cornerstone in understanding development challenges of the country. 112 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The first and subsequent African universities' extra- mural work began after the middle of the 1940s; these universities worked through organs known as 'Institutes of Extra-Mural Studies'. These institutes have gone through many phases of development and having entered a new millennium full of peculiar challenges, they now beg for rehabilitation; they currently lack the 21st century technologies which should have enabled them function optimally. In spite of this deficiency, these institutes still remain relevant to African developmental needs. For example, they are relevant to the actualization of the Millennium Development Goals, to the efforts at reaching the largest possible number of learners with education and to the process of reaching the unreached and disadvantaged groups through community development and education work; they also remain relevant to the actualization of various regional vision agendas. On the comparative scale, Lesotho and Ghana are adjusting to the demands of the 21st century, faster and better than Nigeria. 108 pp. Englisch.

Scholars have studied identity formation in Europe, Africa, and the Americas from the beginning of European colonization in the fifteenth century through the independence movements of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Native American identities followed similar patterns of construction in the Carolinas compared with others in the Atlantic World. Become As One People investigates the ways in which Spanish and English colonists identified Native Americans in the Carolinas from their earliest voyages in the sixteenth century to the first United States census in 1790. It argues that colonists' identifications for Native Americans reflected the usefulness of Native American polities to the Spanish and English in achieving their goals of colonization, their preconceptions about Native Americans they intended to colonize, and the nature of their relationship with Native American polities in the Carolinas. The book should be of use to those interested in identity, the Atlantic World, and Native American History. 116 pp. Englisch.
