Thomas Christen gelingen in seinem neuesten Lyrikband immer wieder überraschende, stimmige, manchmal paradoxale, mindestens aber ungewöhnliche Sprachbilder. Veranschaulichungen von Lebenseinsichten, ohne dass Altklugheit aufscheint, oft gewürzt mit Schmerz oder Resignation, aber nie ohne die Grundhaltung der Lebensbejahung. Man hört viel von dem, was an der Schwelle von Spätromantik zur Moderne im Arsenal lyrischer Tradition eingelagert und v...

This is a story of New Yorkers who were recruited primarily from the gentle farmlands of central New York--young and middle-aged, American and European, farmer and tradesman, poor and well-off--all of whom were among the first to step forward and answer their fledgling nation's call during the Civil War. Though those young men marched proudly off to war anticipating glory and quick victory, victory was usually absent and glory was not their co...

This two-volume work is a much expanded and up-dated study based on the author's original doctoral research of socio-cultural influences on language teaching in Fiji. The dissertation was nominated for the American Educational Research Association (AERA) 'Outstanding Dissertation of the Year' for its rigorous qualitative research methodology and use of flexible anthropological processes to investigate education in multicultural contexts. This ...

Preservation of built heritage is emerging as a major issue in the urban planning process of developing countries. This book criticizes the tendency of policy makers to sacrifice cultural remnants of the past for future benefits. It argues that policy makers must seek economically viable solutions to handle the problems of conserving built environment. Starting from the questions of what to preserve and for whom to preserve, the book makes a c...

Article 1 of the UN Charter gives the UN the task of maintaining international peace and security.In Article 2(4) of the Charter there is a prohibition on the use of force by states. An exception to the prohibition on use of force is Article 51 which provides for self defence against other States if an armed attack occurs against a Member State of the UN.Recent years have seen the emergence of groups that are non-state actors and that inflict ...

This book provides a graphetic analysis of the two hands active in MS GUL Hunter 83, a Middle English edition of a Prose Brut text. It is based on the methodology first put forward by Professor McIntosh in 1974, which uses Graphetic and Linguistic Profiles in order to identify scribal idiosyncrasies. By applying the graphetic element of this theory to MS Hunter 83, the main body of this thesis presents two 'scribal fingerprints'', ultimately s...

The study intends to assess the respond of self-reported health to different measures of social capital in Ukraine.

The role of various demographics including management level, gender, age, education...

Polymers have become indispensable in our everyday life. They are used in a broad range of applications as a result of its ease of processing, low price and a combination of advantageous properties. The final performance of polymers is dictated by the chemical structure obtained during synthesis and by the processing conditions. The majority of synthetic polymers are processed via the melt. Low molecular weight is required for processing, whil...

Medication related problems (MRPs) are on the rise, and are a major concern especially for healthcare professionals as they pose a significant risk to patients leading to hospitalisation and increasing the healthcare expenditure. As the drug therapy is becoming more complex, the challenge of prescribing appropriate medication is increasing. In clinical settings, a wide range of MRPs might arise due to various causes. However, optimization of d...

The determination of the roughness of technical surfaces plays an important role in scientific and industrial applications. Traditionally, the ISO conform determination of the roughness of a technical surface has been calculated using contact stylus instruments. In contrast to this, it is presented two non-contact (optical) measurement devices, which are able to reconstruct 3D models of technical surfaces with a vertical resolution down to 20n...

The need for change of direction in Software Engineering has been suggested in different resources. In recent years many organizations have focused on Model Driven Engineering (MDE) as an approach to application design and implementation and Model Driven Architecture (MDA) was introduced by Object Management Group (OMG) in support of MDE. Models are the basic elements in MDE and can be developed in a distributed environment. Thus once they mer...
