Overview: The book asks whether transplanting banks can solve the problems involved in creating a well-functioning market economy from outside, looking especially at the virtually complete takeover of East German banks by their Western counterparts after unification. Drawing on a wide range of English and German sources, and fieldwork interviews across Germany, it argues that there are no quick fix solutions to transition to a market. Implications are discussed for East Germany and for other previously centrally planned economies, and the global implications of foreign ownership in banking are

Overview: Includes selected edited outcomes of the International Econometric Conference of Vietnam (ECONVN2019), held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on January 14–16, 2019.Presents recent research on probabilisti.This book presents recent research on probabilistic methods in economics, from machine learning to statistical analysis. Economics is a very important – and at the same a very difficult discipline. It is not easy to predict how an economy will evolve or to identify the measures needed to make an economy prosper. One of the main reasons for this is the high level of uncertainty: differen

Overview: Focuses on the role of social/political ideology in the development of bioethics.Has as its focus a retrospective on the ideological foundations of bioethics as a discipline.Offers a variety of perspe.Bioethics developed as an academic and clinical discipline during the later part of the 20th century due to a variety of factors. Crucial to this development was the increased secularization of American culture as well as the dissolution of medicine as a quasi-guild with its own professional ethics. In the context of this moral vacuum, bioethics came into existence. Its raison d’être wa

Overview: Many books are available that detail the basic principles of the different methods of surface characterization. On the other hand, the scientific literature provides a resource of how individual pieces of research are conducted by particular labo- tories. Between these two extremes the literature is thin but it is here that the present volume comfortably sits. Both the newcomer and the more mature scientist will find in these chapters a wealth of detail as well as advice and general guidance of the principal phenomena relevant to the study of real samples. In the analysis of samples,

The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic...The 33 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: cognitive and computational foundations of brain science; investigations of human information processing systems; brain big data analytics, curation and management; informatics paradigms for brain and mental health research; and br

Overview: Mit der zunehmenden Verlagerung des handelbaren Aktienkapitals weg von privaten Haushalten hin zu institutionellen Anlegern rückt die Durchführung größerer Aktientransaktionen, sogenannter Blocktransaktionen, in den Mittelpunkt des Interesses. Dabei stellt sich die Frage, ob derartige Transaktionen zu signifikanten lang- bzw. kurzfristigen Preiseffekten führen. ..Auf der Grundlage theoretischer und empirischer Analysen untersucht Daniel Schäffner die Auswirkungen von Blocktransaktionen auf den Kurs der jeweiligen Aktie. Er wertet erstmals auch Daten außerbörslicher Blocktransaktionen

Overview: .Vapor-liquid equilibrium data, heat of mixing (excess enthalpies), and volumetric properties of systems are required for both the applications in design of industrial technological processes and the understanding the structure and the intermolecular interactions in the systems. On the basis of classical thermodynamics the measured experimental data combined together enable us the calculation of non-measurable thermodynamic properties significant for the technological calculations. The present volume is a compilation of experimental and derived property data on subcritical binary hom

Overview: Emphasizes behavioural health promotion’s theoretical and practical implications for the relationship of the state and its citizens.Explains what kind of health challenges are picked up for policy intPolicy-making in public health is highly complex, which is one reason why the behavioural turn is now playing a significant role in this field. Against this backdrop, this book aims to develop a theoretical understanding of how policymakers take up public health challenges and how policies change over the course of time. Accordingly, the book reveals policy-makers‘ underlying assumptions

Overview: Analyses Brazil‘s international status from the perspective of great powers.Considers to what degree Brazil has been able to achieve an increase in global status.Discusses what a country needs to do iThis book focusses on the intersubjective character of status in order to understand the degree to which Brazil has been able to achieve an increase in its global status. Buarque compares the long-standing ambitions of Brazilian foreign policy elites with external perspectives of observers in states with greater international status who would need to recognize Brazil as a great power and

Overview: Deals with the basics and applications of the most advanced optical methods in biology and medicine for cancer diagnosis and treatment or gene analysis.Written for researchers and medical practitioner.More profound understanding of the nature of light and light-matter interactions in biology has enabled many applications in the biology and medical fields. So a new discipline is born, namely biophotonics. The aim of this book is to review the current state-of-the-art of the field by means of authoritative chapters written by the world leaders of the respective fields. Biosensors, bioc

Overview: Both functions of the mammalian ovary, the endocrine and (synthesis and secretion of steroid hormones) and exocrine (production of ova), depend upon the presence and cyclic growth of follicles, as the depletion of primordial follicles from the ovary leads to cessation of these f-unctions or female reproduction in mammals, or to postmenopausal period in humans. Actually, various fertility and sterility problems at the ovarian level are related to follicles. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the biology of ovarian follicles in mammals is of fundamental interest to a wide variety o

Overview: Der Betriebsstatistik wird bei uns in der Praxis oft nid1t die Bedeutung bei­ gemessen, die ihr als Teil des Rechnungswesens zukommt. Als angeblich über­ flüssige Zahlenspielerei, die gegenüber Buchhaltung und Kostenrechnung ja doch keine neuen Erkenntnisse für die Betriebsführung zu zeigen imstande wäre, fällt sie in Zeiten starken Arbeitsanfalls schnell unter den Tisch. Wenn man der Ursache für diese Einstellung nachgeht, kommt man zu dem Ergeb­ nis, daß die mangelnde Ausbildung auf diesem Gebiet die Entstehung eines solchen Vorurteils ganz außerordentlich fördert. Mitzuhelfen, daß

Overview: Many bacteria, such as certain Neisseria and Haemophilus or Escherichia coli, are able to withstand the bactericidal activity of complement and phagocytes. This bacterial self protection is brought about by encapsulation. Bacterial capsules thus enable the pathogenic bacteria to survive in the host by counter­ action or evasion of the nonspecific host defense in the early pre immune phase of an infection. It is only in the late immune phase of the infection, when specific anticapsular antibodies are formed and enforce the host‘s defense system, that this protective action is overcome

Overview: In the early morning hours of May 18, 1944 the Russian army, under orders from Stalin, deported the entire Crimean Tatar population from their historical homeland. Given only fifteen minutes to gather their belongings, they were herded into cattle cars bound for Soviet Central Asia. Although the official Soviet record was cleansed of this affair and the name of their ethnic group was erased from all records and official documents, Crimean Tatars did not assimilate with other groups or disappear. This is an ethnographic study of the negotiation of social memory and the role this had i
