Abstract:

Terracotta vessels are about understanding how we can store food by using a new product solution and how we could use less energy and waste less food in doing so. This project is an attempt to minimise the energy usage in our homes but also to gain greater understanding about the food we choose to bring into our homes and what we can do to avoid throwing it away.

Abstract:

The development of human capital often faces challenges due to skills gaps in the labour market and this is exacerbated by the distinctive differences between the skills gained through education and those required by the private sector. Such imbalances challenge the success of the Emiratisation policy and therefore the intention of the government in creating a knowledge economy. The financial sector has a complex operating environment compared to other sectors because of the financial regulations and operational processes. This creates challenges in terms of having the right people in the righ

Abstract:

The increasing technological advancement and globalization has seen a rise in offshoring of IT-development, also known as Global Software Development (GSD). One of the most common countries for offshoring has been India with its increasingly competent population.The use of GSD to leverage highly skilled and low-cost labor also creates challenges in three main categories; Coordination, Control and Communication. These challenges arise due to socio-cul-tural, geographical and temporal distances.The use of the Scrum development framework is claimed by scholars to mitigate these issues. This study

Abstract:

Against the background of the global demographic shift towards an aging workforce and its impacts on the labour market and the economy in industrialized societies, this dissertation pinpoints six salient challenges for future litigation and policy-making in the area of labour and employment discrimination law. These include the global tendency towards abolishing mandatory retirement and increasing the eligibility age for pension benefits; legislative age-based distinctions; cost as a justification for age discrimination; performance appraisals of senior workers; and the duty to accommodate sen

碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>科技管理研究所<br>95<br>In the Information Age, the need to rapidly send and receive information in any place, at any time is becoming popular. WiMAX is the latest wireless technology that utilizes the IEEE 802.16 protocol as its foundation. Its coverage is broader than the Wi-Fi network, and its transmission speed is faster than the 3G wireless network. This thesis examined the WiMAX technology, standards, applications, industry structure and the current state of the global WiMAX development. This study went on discussing several potential bottlenecks faced by WiMAX, encompassing are

Abstract:

Background: In many countries, a significant proportion of medicines traded and consumed are of poor or variable quality.

Abstract:

The current study is an African-centred critique of the idea of ‘good governance’; which since the 1990s, has been a prescription of the international development institutions for all development challenges facing developing countries. Despite almost two decades of implementation of good governance reforms in Nigeria, poverty, corruption and underdevelopment persist. The analysis showed that the limited involvement of local people in the design of donor-sponsored good governance reforms mainly produced a universal, donor-conceptualized good governance agenda, which did not fully capture local

Abstract:

Oregon is a state with great social and ecological diversity. Unfortunately however, Oregon's water-rich reputation is more rumor than reality. As with many Western states, Oregon struggles with water scarcity, especially during dry summer months. Recent efforts by the state to develop an integrated water resource strategy (IWRS) to manage present and future water demand in Oregon signifies the very real concern that water is no longer as abundant and available as it once was. With the predicted impacts of climate change and population growth, the already-strained water supply will unlikel

Numa óptica centrada na compreensão dos – contributos da Economia Solidária da Macaronésia (ESM) na luta contra a Pobreza e Exclusão Social – o estudo do caso do Projecto de Desenvolvimento Comunitário de Lajedos constrói-se num plano de fundo de grandes desafios mundiais que o presente e o futuro nos colocam.
