Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -People analytics is a data-driven approach to improving people-related decisions for the purpose of advancing both individual and organizational success. While people have always been critical to the success of organizations, many business leaders still make key decisions about their workforce based on intuition, experience, advice, and guesswork. However, today leaders can improve their people decision-making based on the collection and systematic analysis of data. In this Monograph we will explore a number of strategies used to attract and retain top talent, and illustrate how these strategies are being designed and used at cutting-edge companies. In doing so, we will examine and discuss examples of organizations and company projects addressing key people-related issues, such as recruiting and hiring, performance evaluation, promotion and training opportunities, compensation, and organizational change. This book will understand you how and when 'big data' can be used to make key employee decisions so that you can position yourself as a strategic partner in your company's talent management. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Dairy industry is one of the major industries causing water pollution. In India, dairy industry generates about 6-10 L wastewater/L of milk processed depending upon the process employed and product manufactured. Poorly treated wastewater with high levels of pollutants caused by poor design, operation or treatment systems creates major environmental problems when discharged to surface water or land. Considering the above stated implications an attempt has been made in the present project to evaluate one of the WWTP for dairy waste. Samples were collected from six points; Raw effluent [P-1], Oil and grease trap [P-2], Equalization tank [P-3], Aeration tank 1 [P-4], Aeration tank 2 [P-5] and Secondary clarifier [P-6] to evaluate the performance of WWTP. Parameters analyzed for evaluation of performance of WWTP are COD, BOD5 at 20° C, TSS, Total Nitrogen, Phosphorous, oil and grease, Chloride and Sulphates.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The aim of this book is to explore the negative social, political and economic effects of industrialization and urbanization as reflected in Charlotte Brontë's Shirley (1849), Charles Dickens' Hard Times (1854), and Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South (1855). These novels, which have a lot in common, are diverse and engaged responses to an accelerating industrial age. In and through the Victorian Era, industrialization made a rapid progress that resulted in the polarization of the society into two camps, viz., the rich and the poor or the exploiter and the exploited. Although these two camps lived side by side, there was no communication between them, which inevitably brought class struggles along with it. The poor workers and their families almost had no social securities. Because of the economic recession and fluctuation or progress in mechanization, workers were laid off. These conditions became the story line of industrial novels, especially during the Victorian Era when novel reading was a popular activity, particularly among the middle class. 140 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book presents an improved procedure for generating pseudo relative permeability curves for stratified waterflooding using either constant pressure or constant flux at the reservoir boundaries. Pseudo relative permeability reflects the generation of a relative permeability curve that can be used to represent the entire reservoir thickness, rather than a specific layer during reservoir simulation, thus saving computational time. In this project, Fractional Flow Theory is applied to the generation of pseudo relative permeability curves for i) constant flow rate condition, and ii) constant pressure boundary condition. The method differs from previous methodologies and studies, which are all based on a piston-like displacement for water flooding. Instead, this new model uses fractional flow theory to generate a pseudo relative permeability curve that is physically more realistic. The solution is extended to generate pseudo relative permeability curves for simulating the waterflood of a reservoir under the constant pressure boundaries which is a more realistic assumption in compared to constant flow rate.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -It is clearly demonstrated that deforestation and forest degradation stem from the complex interaction of both direct factors and indirect or underlying factors. The direct causes of deforestation and forest degradation are: peasant agriculture, industrial agriculture, planned and unplanned logging, wood-energy (firewood and charcoal), mining (Industrial, semi-industrial and artisan), infrastructure and urbanization. The indirect causes of deforestation and forest degradation are: low weak governance, lack of policy coordination and land-use planning, poverty and insufficient conditions conducive to Sustainable economic activities, population growth and the evolution of global prices and markets. One of Republic of Congo's REDD+ National strategies is the Sustainable management and valorization of forest resources. It is a question of building sustainable forest management and ecosystems through a participatory and inclusive process, including: promoting sustainable forest development and improving wood logging techniques of work, the promotion of biodiversity conservation, the promotion and enhancement of NWFPS and the increasing of carbon stocks.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Peri-implant diseases are the pathological inflammatory changes that occur in tissue surrounding a load bearing implant. It is one of the most common complications in orofacial implantology. The implant design, diameter, location, degree of roughness, excessive mechanical load, tissue status surrounding implant and improper surgical placements are responsible for occurence of perimplant diseases. Also, Gram negative anaerobes play a key role in this disease. Two terms are described in peri-implant diseases: 1) Peri-implant mucositis - a condition in which the inflammatory changes are limited to the mucosa surrounding the implant surface. If treated properly, this condition is reversible. 2) Peri-implantitis - includes bone loss leading to reduced bone support for the implant along with presence of peri-implant mucositis. This condition is irreversible. The management of these conditions is essential for maintenance of oral health in patients with implant-retained prosthesis. Various treatment modalities are available: infection control, implant surface detoxification and alveolar bone regeneration. This book sheds light on different treatment choices for peri-implant deseases.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We are surrounded by space and the shape of things. The very planet we live on is situated in a universe full of interesting stars, surrounded by other planets. All of them have di erent shapes and sizes and it is no wonder that shapes and sizes always attracted man. To understand the wonder of our world and appreciate them, man realised the importance of having knowledge of spatial use. For example, the areas related to space and the size and shape of things in it. Scientists realised that when we apply and understand the relationship between shapes and sizes we will be better prepared to use them in our everyday life. Geometry does exactly that because it provides the knowledge of how to deal with measurements and relationships of shapes. Even though, it is no longer at the forefront of mathematical sciences, Geometry is still used today by engineers, land surveyors and mappers when analysing spatial information about land and other natural resources. Historically speaking, however geometry dominated mathematics. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Globally, human rights are the most topical, defended, protested, and reported on by human beings on daily basis. Either, through the media or any other available platform which can be used as an outreach method to society. There are many laws established and implemented to curb violations of human rights, in order to promote peace within societies. However, laws differ from families, communities, countries and our international community. These laws are said not supersede human rights at any given time. However, there is a new platform for human rights violations called a workplace. The question is, is there a time were being human can get switched off for any occasion It is presumed that being human can't get time out. A human being is considered a human being from birth until death. Does being an employee revoke the status of being human within an organisation Does the status of an employee give leeway to modern day slavery, psychological harassment, victimisation, bullying, corruption and intimidation The answer to these questions is YES, in South Africa, it happens on daily basis. This book has focused on an employee perspective within the South African employment industry. 80 pp. Englisch.

Api-products may be administered as foods or dietary supplements. Apitherapy is used to treat many illnesses and to alleviate pain from injuries both chronic and acute. Apitherapy should not be practiced as a self-treatment without the professional guidance or close supervision of a qualified health professional. Apitherapy treatment should be utilized only when an individual did not respond to conventional therapies, or conventional therapies cannot be practiced as the first treatment option. The problem of conventional medicine in the treatment of chronic non-healing wounds can be solved by using propolis. The aim of my work is to give evidence on the successful treatment of chronic wounds with propolis. Propolis has antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant and regenerative effect. Propolis is real wealth of nature. 72 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book is to turn the clock back to the 15th Century when all continents were at the same level of equality in terms of power. Africa was not only the Cradle of Humanity, but was the richest continent since the 1473 as the map clearly shows (Wanzola, 2012, p.231). The research is to revisit the outline of our history encountered by the aliens if they are called so, finally that we are able to re-write it in our own context with much more precision of our common heritage that we are united or divided, instead of believing in falsification. Africa's future depends on its pan-African youth and a generation of elites under strong institutions with tyrants in the state of harm. To change the mentality so that, the African revolver of Franz Omar Fanon can break the chains from the trigger in Kongo in order to shoot this giant monster. What strategy for a strong and free Africa without the International Community 52 pp. Englisch.

Firstly, the book covers the aim of the project and carrying out of this project. The aim of this project was to investigate the expression of EVI-1 in Rat1neo1 and Rat15.61cells and the impact on CAIII expression. The Also is to apply RNA extraction and prepare cDNA from these to carry out quantitative Real-time PCR. Furthermore the aim is to look at the expression of EVI-1 and affected genes by extracting the protein from fibroblast cells aiming for the identification by western blotting. Introduction of plasmids to Rat1neo1 and Rat15.61 cells by transfection was another aim. Transfection with siRNA was to be aimed for. Following this, a reporter gene, luciferase, was used for testing promoter activity and its effect on CAIII expression. The goal was to inhibit EVI-1 expression in fibroblast cells by targeting the gene with siRNA. Finally was to knock down CAIII gene alone by siRNA looking at the effect of hydrogen peroxide treatment on caspase activity and apoptosis. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Quantum physics works exceptionally well in practice. It has justifiably been called 'the most successful scientific theory ever'. Its problems are interpretational: how to explain its various rational contradictions. The article does not claim to do this. But rather to 'explain them away', providing a rational explanation for why there can be no rational explanation. And to show further that the contradictions are essentially apparent, a consequence of our partial view of the universe. This in turn is due to our innate perceptual threshold, the minimum energy required to fire a retinal neurone. The quantum becomes not the minimum existing, but our minimum observable energy packet. It implies further an invisible 'subliminal substrate', that among other things accounts for dark matter and the apparent randomness of radioactive breakdown. Being based on the analogy with essentially classical dice-throwing. we call it the 'Dicey Interpretation' of quantum physics. Apparent quantum indeterminacy is then just that: apparent. The treatment is conceptual and 98% non-mathematical. 84 pp. Englisch.

But the blasphemy case was really pure, only a matter of blasphemy of religion so that the settlement could be through court or mediation. During the current era of reform in Indonesia, the case of religious blasphemy is politicized into a political case as happened in the case of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) at the 2017 Jakarta governor election. So as to draw the attention of the Indonesian Muslims by mass demonstration on 2 December 2016 or better known as Demonstration 212 with the number of demonstrators more than seven hundred thousand. The demonstration of Islam is very influential on the electability Ahok who are racing in the election of regional heads in the province of Jakarta. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Complete edentulism is a widespread problem in today's society. Stress, irrational nutrition, parafunctions and low culture lead to an increase in the number of patients. The stability of complete upper dentures is determined by its anatomical features and the ability to create a vacuum between the prosthesis and the prosthetic field. The functional impression is precisely the shaping of the boundary surface and the subsequent maximum adaptation of the finished prosthesis in the area of the gingiva-buccal sulcus. Knowing its importance leads to frequent unsatisfactory results. The denture may not hold well, or be stable in a static position but be movable during the eating and talking. Border molding procedure is a part of the classical methodology for complete denture fabrication and in some shortened methods of treatment it is allowed to miss this stage. In dentistry, impression materials are constantly developing. Different viscosities are created and profiled for their use - for removable and fixed prosthesis, occlusal fixation, implant impressing, border molding and more. At the same time, some very good materials are forgotten or denied by contemporary authors. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -With technological advancements, children today learn in ways that can be radically different from how their parents did. Considering the learning differences, the purpose of this review is to explore robot use for its potential benefits in educating today's children who need to be learning differently from the generation before. As children are growing up in an increasingly tech-savvy world, this review would serve to raise the awareness of robot applications developed for young children, so that more people can be sensitized to the adoption of robots for early childhood education. The studies and reports included in this review are a selection of robot applications used with children in the general population of early childhood (0 - 8) years. Based on collaborative efforts in function and design such as the use of puppetry, as well as curriculum design in areas such as behaviour modification, social or motor skills, numeracy, language and literacy through storytelling and/or games, the robot applications reviewed here have been found to present with great potential for a dynamic way to educate the young. Implications for use with children with special needs are discussed. 52 pp. Englisch.
