This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Stock market performance and macroeconomic variables are two very important set of indicators regarding a country's economy. Thus, finding and understanding the relationships present between these indicators may prove to be quite vital. Unfortunately most literature available on this subject matter is based on developed countries and these cases may not apply to developing countries. In order to shed light on the matter this paper investigates the causal relationships between the stock market index of developing countries and their macroeconomic variables based on the VECM framework. The countries Malaysia and Singapore are chosen for the purpose of this paper, where FTSE KLCI index and the FTSE STI index are used to represent the stock market performances respectively for each country. The four macroeconomic variables analyzed are Consumer Price Index (CPI), Industrial Production Index (IPI), 3 month T-bill rate (IR) and exchange rate against the US Dollar (ER). The findings and empirical work in this paper will be especially enlightening for academics or inspiring academics researching in this area. Also stock market practitioners may find this paper quite informative as well. 108 pp. Englisch.

Unlike many other programming languages, which are often picked up on the go from tutorials found on the Internet, few are able to quickly pick up C++ without studying a good C++ book. It is way too big and complex for doing this. In fact, it is so big and complex, that there are many bad C++ books out there. And we are not talking about bad style, but things like sporting glaringly obvious factual errors and promoting abysmally bad programming styles. And it's even worse with online tutorials. So having this book saves alot from all the mess around. Grab yourself a copy to meet all your questions and answers for this programming language. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book is aimed at finding out the influence of the dynamics of study groups on students academic performance. Results of the study show that there is a strong positive relationship between the internal dynamics of the group students belong to and their academic performance. However, the independent variables do not affect performance in English and Mathematics unless there is academic effort. A significant relationship was found between students self-concept of academic ability and the effort the put into their learning; that is, the number of hours they spend to study during the week and at weekends. The overall results of the study show that the internal dynamics of the groups that students belong to can boost or deflate their confidence in their ability to achieve success; this self-confidence also spurs them on to study hard and eventually do well. Thus the internal dynamics can affect academic performance only when self-efficacy is boosted and when academic effort is also increased. 116 pp. Englisch.

Moreover, it may seek power wherever appears necessary as the discretion is given to it by law. However, it is not well equipped enough to properly put into practice its powers and duties. Ethiopian banking sector had not been directly affected by the international financial crisis due to its poor integration in the international financial markets, less stiff competition among the institutions, and its traditional banking system.However, this does not mean that Ethiopia had not been affected and will not be affected by the crisis. It does not also mean that the tomorrow's Ethiopian financial system will be the same with that of yesterdays.This calls for revisiting the adequacy of the existing supervisory capacity of National Bank of Ethiopia to forestall future banking crisis in Ethiopia. 84 pp. Englisch.

However, the change of the demographics of engineering students has led to larger percentage of students with weak mathematics skills. Furthermore, electromagnetics courses are perceived as abstract and irrelevant. Students struggle with required mathematics and have been shown to have motivational difficulties when studying the subject. Vast amount of research in engineering education has been conducted on the development of conceptual knowledge, but rather little is known about procedural knowledge, and especially how conceptual and procedural knowledge alternate and contribute to the development of expertise. This thesis examined engineering students' conceptual and procedural knowledge, as well as mathematics anxiety that all relate to proficiency in electromagnetics. The findings suggest that there is clearly a need to broaden the view of what types of knowledge are valued and assessed in engineering courses. 76 pp. Englisch.

The Shariah criminal justice system was in the country right from about the sixth century and was fully established with the establisment of the Sokoto Caliphate by Shehu Uthman Donfodiyo consequent upon the jihad of 1803-1807. The advent of colonialism in the country brought about the ceasation of the system especially in the northern part where Shariah criminal justice system was in ooperation.

This generated a lot of controversy. Thus, this work addresses the issue of constitutionality of the system. 100 pp. Englisch.

In spite of the well recognized benefits of maintaining an active lifestyle to delay the onset of functional impairment and disability, these older adults are the least physically active group compared to the others. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Heart Association recommend that older adults should spend at least 30 minutes a day, five days per week, doing moderate-intensity physical activity or 20 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity at least three days per week to maintain good functional fitness. The main form of physical activity among the older population is walking; therefore, the number of steps taken per day could be a good indicator of an older adult s daily physical activity. This thesis is a descriptive study designed to determine the daily physical activity level (amount and intensity) of older adult women. 72 pp. Englisch.

However, up until now a mutual accord has not been reached on the relationship between monetary policy and equity prices. The main issues of the debate are centered on the exact identification of policy changes and endogeneity of policy decisions. In this book I provide the analysis of alternative specifications of monetary policy measures and focus on testing of two most popular ones in empirical research: VAR orthogonalized innovations and decomposed federal funds rate change. I show how the estimates of stock responses vary with regard to the measure of policy shock chosen for estimation. I suggest extending the regression of stock returns on policy shocks with one of the measures of investor sentiment, Volatility Index, VIX, which I conclude to be the omitted variable. The empirical results presented in the book confirm the heterogeneous reaction of stock prices to changes in monetary conditions. 56 pp. Englisch.

Residential real estate prices depend on a large number of demand and supply side factors. This book was written after a thorough qualitative analysis of all these factors affecting the residential property market, particularly in Hong Kong. To understand the impact that different demand and supply side variables have on property prices, an extensive Ordinary Least squares (OLS) regression was carried out, and the results are discussed in an uncomplicated manner. The results are not exclusive to Hong Kong, as the findings are suitable to understand real estate in other countries as well. This research has found new factors that were not considered in earlier studies and have a notable impact on property prices. Furthermore, the history and geographic peculiarities of real estate in Hong Kong have been comprehensively explained. While this study engages in many mathematical processes, special efforts have been made to ensure it is an enjoyable read and provides an overall understanding of the residential property market. 68 pp. Englisch.
