Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In today's heat and power industry, flue gas emissions are still a problem. The large variety of cleaning devices still does not cover all environmental needs. The use of inferior blends of coal and fuel oil increases emissions of carcinogenic resins such as benzene, benzene, phenanthrene, and pyrene. They are especially manifested at the time of start-up of boiler plants, and in transient modes. It should be also taken into account outdated boiler plant equipment, which can not always provide timely reaching the required operation mode.Carcinogenic tars tend to accumulate in the human body. And therefore their separation from the flue gases becomes an acute problem. Devices developed earlier show themselves not effective enough to eliminate tar. This results in the need to develop new methods and devices for purifying gases.Our proposal is to use a contact heat exchanger as a filter for flue gas cleaning. The basic idea is the temperature separation of one substance from another, which should also push the hydrodynamic effects provided by the shape of the ejector. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -2007: the year of one of the biggest financial crises in history, which alone was responsible for 50 million people falling below the poverty line. Public opinion then discovered the extent of the immorality of global financial institutions. Even if today the spectre of the crisis seems distant, investment banks have never made as much profit as in recent years. On another front, the European Union is still struggling to find agreements to curb billions of dollars in annual tax evasion. At a time when global growth remains at half-mast and austerity policies are still hitting the most fragile economies hard, this subject remains more than ever topical and can lead us to ask ourselves the following questions: Is it still possible to reconcile all economic agents with the world of finance Can there be a balance between all these different actors or an alternative model that can satisfy them It is from this angle and through a bibliographic analysis of numerous financial practices from 2007 and beyond that I have attempted to answer this question. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The development of alternative civilian service is considered in this paper as a whole in the development of democracy in Russia. Some provisions of the Federal Law are discriminatory against citizens, whose beliefs or religion are in conflict with military service.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -To date, civil doctrine has not developed firm and unambiguous criteria for classifying certain objects as immovable property. In fact, we are talking about the fact that taking into account the significance of the object, the state specifically declares it as such (immovable property) and introduces it into circulation with a special regime that provides increased strength of relations. In the author's opinion, it is necessary to apply a set of various criteria (close connection with the land, functional independence, completeness for its intended use, fundamentality, long term of use, considerable value, individuality). At the same time, their application is possible only with the indication of the law on the extension of the legal regime of real estate to a particular object.Among scientists there is no consensus on the issue of compliance of non-residential premises, and especially their parts, with the signs of real estate listed in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Within the framework of legislative reforms it would be necessary to revise the content of article 130 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, specifying not only the list, but also the qualification criteria for classifying property as immovable. 60 pp. Englisch.

Thus, in reality, we are witnessing a shift in the financial and economic paradigm with no clearly defined boundaries, and, in this regard, the issue of saving not only private funds (households), but also public funds. Infrastructure bonds are investments that aim to generate financial benefits in the future creation of goods that have a long-term perspective of use.The relevance of this topic is also due to the reduction of budget investments, and it is also worth understanding that in 2020 there will be a negative trend in general for investment as such, which will eventually hamper economic development and create a crisis of demand. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Inheritance law is also one of the most conservative and reactionary subfields of civil law. Inheritance law reflects the dynamics of the very idea of inheritance in a particular state, connected directly with the idea of ownership and transfer of property. Inheritance by law has been known since long ago and has undergone relatively few changes since then. At the same time, in Russian law until now there are disputes about the definition of the legal category of legal relations of inheritance. Inheritance law, as a sphere of legal relations, is remarkable because it depends not only on the organization of the system of civil legislation, but also on national traditions, notions about worthy and unworthy. In view of this, it is difficult to hope for the creation, for example, of a single Code of the CIS or the Code of Europe in the field of legal regulation of inheritance law. 76 pp. Englisch.

Watson). 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This dossier aims to understand the profound changes that society has undergone in social, economic and technological terms to arrive at the definition of this theme of work-life balance. Scientific research has noted the difficulty individuals have in coordinating environments that are often in opposition. This opposition is more and more visible through the diffusion of ICT to all aspects of our lives. The presupposition is that although ICT seems to lead to ever greater interference between domains, it is also a means of controlling the demands of the environments as best as possible in order to facilitate their reconciliation. We therefore assume that there is indeed a strategic use that has a positive impact on reducing family-work conflicts. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -At present, there are several factors that can cause violence to increase in a community; they can be organic, physiological, pathological, external influences such as the environment in which the first years of an individual's life are developed, the lack of affection and attention from parents or simply bad guidance, which is why human rights violations affect both men and women; their impact varies according to the sex of the victim. Studies on the subject allow us to affirm that any aggression perpetrated against a woman has some characteristic that allows it to be identified as gender-based violence. This means that it is directly linked to the unequal distribution of power and the asymmetrical relations established between men and women in our society, which perpetuate the devaluation of the feminine and its subordination to the masculine. What differentiates this type of violence from other forms of aggression and coercion is that the risk or vulnerability factor is the mere fact of being a woman, although human rights violations affect both men and women. 64 pp. Englisch.
