Coordination of Road Transport Investment Policies in Ghana

It came to light that road agencies and road related agencies must all be involved to ensure effective coordination. In addition, Government must demonstrate a strong commitment to coordination of road policy formulation process by ensuring that appropriated logistic support is made available to the road agencies. National Development Planning Commission should continue to make available to the road agencies a policy and planning framework for strategic planning of transport infrastructure. Steps must also be taken towards making the Ministry of Roads and Highways semi-autonomous so that its operations are not limited by the usual bureaucratic bottlenecks within government and civil service. This could be done by government passing a legislative instrument to that effect. It is believed that when these measures are adhered to, the extent of coordination in the formulation of road transport investment policies would be improved. ····· 10361132839

From Hoodoo Women to Robber Queens

Throughout her career as an ethnographer, Zora Neale Hurston sought to capture the performances that linked African American folk communities of the coastal South to those she encountered in the Caribbean. The conjure woman of New Orleans and the Mambo priestess of Haitian Vodou exhibited performances that dramatized shared cultural and historical memory. By situating the conjure woman in the Marvelous Real, Hurston created a fictive site in which the conjurer acts as the interlocutor of women s narratives and showed how identity could be shaped more directly by shared cultural memory than by geographic bounds. This project explores how authors Erna Brodber and Nalo Hopkinson have since enlarged on Hurston s model of the conjure woman-as-ethnographer in the genres of Magical Realist and Speculative fiction. ····· 10361132601

Traditionally, designers have been identified as problem-solvers. This is manifested when we respond to a problem with an action, and in communication design this action usually translates as innovative visual graphics.Intercultural interaction has increased in our globalized community, and it has become part of our everyday life. As an international communication designer, I believe intercultural understanding helps in the development of shared experiences and collaborative projects even when the same language, time and/or space are not shared. As designers, we have the opportunity to make a significant difference in society, and to help in the development of conscious citizens from a wide range of cultures and languages.Inlak esh Alaken promotes the exploration of the process of a designer becoming a researcher and a thinker who collaborates within a multicultural community. It explores the different possibilities that hybrid design brings to a stream of creative disciplines while developing visual communication as an intercultural language. ····· 10361132456

Discrepancies between defined and actualized ecotourism

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Ecotourism is a well-known term, but also an ambiguous word, misunderstood by tourists, tourism hosts and also academics. It has received expanding attention since it has become the quickest growing sector in the tourism industry. Literature published on ecotourism has spent much time and debate trying to define the term and pinpoint exactly what ecotourism is, theoretically. Many definitions have been proposed, ranging in complexity and preciseness, but none have been universally accepted. Much literature also exists on ecotourism case studies, but these have their own flaws since no one can really decide what ecotourism is or how it should look. A large gap exists between understanding and implementing true ecotourism, as well as understanding and experiencing what one believes to be ecotourism, but true ecotourism is inevitably an impossible reality to many skeptics, both tourists and academics. However, this paper will still attempt to bridge the gap between ecotourism theory and reality by highlighting the discrepancies between them. ····· 10361132167

The Dangerous Side of Nationalism

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
In the twentieth century humanity experienced horrific episodes, such as the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, the genocide from Rwanda, the communist mass terror or the massacres perpetrated in former Yugoslavia. Particular groups, identified as the enemy, the threat or simply the dangerous other , have been subject to policies of discrimination, exclusion and in the end to policies of extreme mass violence. The most natural questions are Why and How . This book focuses on the link between ethnic nationalism and genocide by analyzing the cases of Serbia and Romania. The ideology that guided Romanian and Serbian elite towards genocide was based on national arguments- protecting and preserving the national identity, the uniqueness of the nation (supposedly based on religion, ethnicity), the alleged interests and values of the nation taking priority over all other interests and values. The two cases can help us understand the significance of nationalism in the radicalization of a conflict. Contrary to what some scholars believe, nationalism did not loose its power and can still play a decisive role in unstable regimes with a clear differentiation between ethnic and religious groups ····· 10361132162

Identities in Exile

The study seeks to establish the impact of social interactions between refugees and local populations on refugees national and ethnic identities. It is a case study of Burundian Hutu Refugees in Johannesburg, but for comparative reasons, two other groups of respondents namely Rwandan refugees and South Africans were also included. The study finds that despite regular contact with the host environment and populations, refugees strive to maintain their ethnic and national identities, and hence challenges the widely held assumption that to become a `refugee` or being displaced from a national community means automatically losing one s identity, traditions and culture. Further, apart from the inevitable adoption of new situational practices by refugees, the study finds no serious renegotiation or contest of group identities in the cosmopolitan Johannesburg as both South Africans and refugees/migrants in the city seem to be holding on to their identitive ideals and practices. ····· 10361131987

Research use in novice driver licensing policy

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Young drivers are overrepresented in road trauma, with vehicle-related crashes a leading global cause of death of young people. Yet while research shows novice driver licensing systems to be effective in reducing road trauma, some key system components have been opposed by governments worldwide. Drawing on existing policy development theory, this book examines novice driver licensing policy debates and processes in Australia and the United States. It demonstrates that while an evidence-based policymaking approach has the potential to achieve positive outcomes, it would be naive to assume that research is privileged over other factors that impact on policy such as political, social and economic considerations. Due to the influence of these competing rationalities on policy development, the case is made for researchers and other proponents of evidence-based policies to increase their engagement in the political sphere through use of more effective advocacy strategy. In this way, the book aims to motivate the road safety community to proactively develop and enact strategies that may effectively facilitate the effective translation of research into policy and practice. ····· 10361131856

From Heroes to Villains: Are Bankers Our New Dirty Workers?

Research and recent media would indicate that the public perception of the banking industryhas changed significantly over the previous decade. This would largely be in tandem with theprogression of many global economies from high levels of economic growth to currentlyexperiencing severe financial difficulties. Consequently, this paper examines the effects ofthe financial crisis on individuals who are currently employed within the Irish bankingindustry. It seeks to explain and provide a rationale for the degree of public condemnationwhich has become associated with this industry. Principally, however, this paper will addressthe more personal consequences of such public odium on bank officials themselves, and alsoexamine how such individuals have learned to cope with engaging with their stigmatisedprofessional lives.At present bank officials (regardless of their hierarchical position) have had similar experiences to that of the dirty worker, and are being widely regarded by the public in a similar vein. Accordingly, this would beg the question: `Are Bankers Our New Dirty Workers ` ····· 10361131806

In Search of True Freedom

The term Post-colonial has come into existence only during the end of the twentieth century. Substituting older terms like Commonwealth and Third World, it has not only extended the area of study but also more aptly encapsulated the overall mood and experience of the concurrent period termed as post-colonial . Post-colonial, ironically, and in spite of the prefix post , is retrospective, and suggestive of continuity with the colonial past. It underscores a persisting sense of insecurity, inferiority and reliance on the West in the new born nations. To stem these crises, different postcolonial writers and intellectuals explore possible means of recovery and reformation in their fictional world. This book looks into four postcolonial writers perspectival analyses of their respective situations from Africa and India. The study should help readers, researchers and academicians understand the socio-political reality of the postcolonial nations, for whom post colonialism is not just an academic discourse but a living reality. ····· 10361119613

Claritas

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The contested claim is that James Joyce derived part of his aesthetic theory from the opinion of Thomas Aquinas that beauty is marked with unity, harmony, and then radiance, or in Latin, claritas . The last term was puzzling to Stephen Dedalus, in PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST, until he identified claritas with quidditas or the whatness of a thing. The thesis is that Joyce has effectively grasped the medieval concept in his modernist aesthetic, and may have developed his idea from an acquaintance with the Thomistic theory of knowledge. The demonstration of the case in the SUMMA THEOLOGIAE is what distinguishes this work from its predecessors. The method is to pursue the metaphor of light. Claritas is to be identified with the Neoplatonic intelligible light in Augustine, and this in turn identified with the agent intellect of Aristotle. Aquinas says this intellectual light enables the mind to illuminate sense-images and so render manifest their intelligible nature or quidditas . Thus claritas - the radiance of beauty - does mark the discovery of quidditas . The implications will engage the fields of aesthetics, intellectual history, modernism, and literary theory. ····· 10361119086

A study on Autobiographical Memoir as a Counter-dialogue to Misrepresentation of Disabled Body was carried by review of different writers books, journals and articles. For this study, four essays namely Carnal Acts , Living with an Unstable Body , Bells and The Unification of Stephen Hawking written by Nancy Mairs, Barbara Rosenblum, Ved Mehta and Mark O Brien respectively were selected. Autobiographical memoir written by writers with disability helps the writer to privilege their self and to acquire an agency was the hypothesis of this study. Writers in memoir come to the experience of writing with a desire to make them heard and use the written voice to formulate the expressions of identity that will complicate and disrupt stereotype about disabled self. The expressive and assertive voice developed throughout the memoir writing claims a certain kind of authenticity, agency and subjectivity at the heart of which is the privileging of the point of view of the disabled narrator. The target groups of this manuscript are researcher, teachers, social workers and the writers. ····· 10361118316

Shrines, Oath-taking and Jurisprudence in Yoruba and Igbo Religions

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The book contains the findings of over one year research on the intersection of African indigenous religion and Jurisprudence. The research was conducted among the Yoruba people of Southwest and the Igbo of Southeast of Nigeria. Particular emphasis was laid on Ogun, Sango and Ayelala shrines among the Yoruba and Okija shrines among the Igbo. Using Afrocentric epistemology, and phenomenology of religion, the study forcefully argues that the administration of the universe should not be left to man alone. This reasons out why African jurisprudence fuses religion and reason. Since religion permeates every facet of the lives of indigenous African peoples, it is essential that, in order to cultivate a jurisprudence that is indigenous to Africa, African indigenous religion is indispensable. Oath taking that will really be potent should therefore put into consideration the place of African deities. ····· 10361118260

Investigative journalism and democracy have a symbiotic relationship. This relationship serves to make the public sensitive about, and aware of, injustices and undemocratic practices and it could, ultimately, contribute significantly to the process of democratization. Unfortunately, in their endeavor to keep up with the ethos of investigative journalism, journalists meet obstacles that range from legal to financial issues. The author investigates those factors that reporters in Botswana rate as having the greatest impact on their investigative efforts. The study also assesses the attitudes of journalists in the country towards the roles and responsibilities of the fourth estate, which supports investigative reporting. In addition the athor assesses the proportion of investigative stories in four sampled Botswana newspapers.
