Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The Burgenland Croats have been present in Austria for the last 500 years. The subject of their role in Austrian political life has not been researched so far, so this text hopefully will shed new light on this part of their presence. Besides the strong cultural heritage that they preserve, the questions of how the status of Burgenland Croats as a minority in Austria is and how strong their influence on political life in Austria is were examined, as well as their position inside the Austrian society. The literature review and the theoretical approach included various theories that helped to understand better the political status of the Burgenland Croats, along with the qualitative research method based on interviews as a collection of data, that revealed a new perspective regarding the status and understanding of Burgenland Croats in Burgenland and Vienna. One of the conclusions definitely would be that there is a big space for more political progress, both from Croatian and Austrian authorities and governments.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Globally, breast cancer is ubiquitous and regarded as a leading cause of death amongst other causes of death. It plays a role in several aberrant genes seen in the tumorigenesis pathway, thus making it heterogenic. An example of this gene is the HDAC1 gene, which is a multifunctional protein and plays a role in gene expression regulation. Using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, a remarkable gene editing approach essential in identifying and validating genomic targets with the potential to be tumoricidal, the role of HDAC1 was investigated in a breast cancer cell line, MCF-7.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -As a paradigm, we must methodically doubt (Descartes), if necessary, even from our own teacher (Bacon), in order to devote ourselves to the search for the correct diagnosis that will allow us with the greatest precision (Spinoza), to adequately treat and solve the problem of our human patient, our problem. We must bear in mind the different types of prejudices that are so deeply rooted in our society today that they threaten the development of the sciences.It will be necessary to keep ourselves in the constant search for the truth in order to try to get closer to the diagnosis that afflicts that being who approaches us for help.It is vitally important to continually observe man as a substantiated, unique entity, impossible to separate into two different things, although we may study them separately and divide him into two which will always be one as long as he exists as a man.The analysis of the patient's ordinary language for the physician will be of great use in an attempt to minimize diagnostic error in medical semiology.Conversation humanizes the relationship between two individuals who are fundamentally different, the doctor and the patient.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The economic trajectory of Ghana has been notably dynamic in recent years, consistently ranking among the top ten fastest-growing economies in Africa since 2017. However, the year 2020 brought unprecedented challenges, as plummeting oil prices and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a significant economic downturn, plunging the nation into recession.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The Historical Context of the philosophical debate relating to the issue of whether Artificial Intelligence is anything more than a hypothetical metaphor awaiting more exact characterisation dates back to the 1940's and 50's. The central figure who initiated this discussion was, of course Alan Turing, the mathematical genius who worked with English military intelligence on the Enigma Project. The invention of ACE(The automatic computing engine) and its role in solving a problem that had defeated the best minds in England was the initiating event of the claim that machines of this kind were in a sense 'intelligent'. Intelligence, of course, is a psychological term with a contested psychological definition as was evidenced by the discussions that followed Piaget's theories and the attempts to constructive tools to measure this elusive capacity. This work argues that it is to Philosophy we must turn if we are to clarify a problem that was challenging theoreticians of the scientific and psychological community.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -With the concept of computational thinking as a core element, the proposed paper critically inventories the main directions in the literature, focusing on the shift from psychology - pedagogy to mathematics - computer science.Redefined in 2006, the concept is now at the peak of research and applications for pre-school and school children. It is no coincidence that two years ago computational thinking was introduced as an operational element in the Shanghai Compulsory Curriculum; there it was based on the premise that societies are targeting a fulminating economic development through paradigm shifts in teaching and learning on the integration of new computational thinking skills alongside the basic skills - reading, writing and counting. Indeed, ¿computational thinking is a fundamental skill for everyone, not just computer scientists. To reading, writing and mathematical skills, we should add computational thinking to every child¿s analytical ability¿ (Wing, 2006).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This study aimed to identify the factors influencing media utilization by women parliamentarians. To achieve this, responses were gathered from three groups: women parliamentarians, representatives from media houses, and representatives from organizations supporting women's leadership. The findings were analyzed based on the responses from each group. The study's findings were then discussed in relation to the research questions, and conclusions and recommendations were drawn from them.The findings revealed that women parliamentarians receive less media attention compared to their male counterparts, across all three categories of responses. This lack of attention has led to the portrayal of women parliamentarians as lacking authority and not being recognized for their contributions to the national development agenda. Media coverage of women parliamentarians mainly focuses on their official roles as ministers or assistant ministers, rather than their broader contributions or activities related to their constituencies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.
