This is an engaged and extremely well-informed book on business and business ethics in a society with political and social-economic crises. As an engaging and engaged effort to bring a nexus between business ethics and business practices in any human society, the book invites the reader to partake in pressing debates on business ethics in times of crisis. The book provides a much needed interdisciplinary approach and marshals an extraordinary array of social and intellectual resources that positively inspire business people and business making. It is wholesome and systematic in its articulation of the political and social forces that shape and are shaped by business. Additionally, it gives the reader a guided tour into the fascinating creativity that shapes and characterises business culture in contemporary Zimbabwe.
I Will Fly is a collection of 52 poems which bring to life a story of struggle and hope, the struggle of ordinary Cameroonians who daily entertain hardship, and of English-speaking Cameroonians born into a minority population. Disgruntlement leads to protests; but what happens when the protests fail to yield? Immigration and resignation, the latter, at times, becoming an invitation to death. Adventure and romance stand as the lifeline of others. Hope is a constant companion in these situations, inviting all and sundry to desist from giving adversary easy victories.
This posthumous publication is a collection of essays some of which are based on the author's research work while others record her thoughts on issues she regarded as important. The materials, which were written between 1991 and 1996, cover a range of subjects that have been tied together under the theme of women, law and justice in Uganda. They represent the author's central concerns, interests and views as they developed over the years.
Essays in Criminology
(2011)
Crime in Africa is fast growing like African cities, African poverty, African indebtedness, African brain-drain and African dependence; everything in Africa appears to be growing very fast; population too has been fast growing except that it is being reduced by violence as we have witnessed in Rwanda, Burundi and Somalia and AIDS pandemic that is first spreading in Africa, claiming thousands of lives every year. This book is a collection of essays and papers not based on empirical research on crime in East Africa but general observations arising out of the author's experience as a criminologist in East Africa.
Dictionary of Criminology
(2011)
In professional disciplines, just as in academics, the definition of basic concepts is fundamental for adequate understanding of issues. A dictionary of criminology may be regarded as irrelevant for the simple reason that criminology cannot be said to constitute an academic or professional discipline in East Africa. But this dictionary is not limited to criminological or sociological concepts alone. Just like any academic discipline, it covers other areas of social studies such as law, economics and politics. The dictionary covers some areas that, to the average reader, are least related to law and crime; but to the specialist, even the least likely entry, like race, tribe and democracy is, in some remote way, linked to the incidence of crime, delinquency or deviance.
Arbitration Law and Practice in Kenya is a practical reference text for one of the fastest growing areas of legal practice in Kenya today. The text covers the arbitration process from the arbitration agreement to commencement of proceedings and to the delivery of the Award in the Kenyan context. All topics are covered against the provisions of the Arbitration Act, 1995, the Civil Procedure Act, the UNICTRAL Model Law, relevant international conventions and relevant case law, local, regional and international. The book will prove useful for students, practitioners and arbitrators.
Regional Integration in Africa Bridging the North-Sub-Saharan Divide came about as a research project conducted by the Africa Institute of South Africa and examines the North African countries' strategies of involvement in the African continent, and their integration initiatives. The book looks at major issues involving Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania. These countries, in most cases, have been treated as separate from sub-Saharan Africa. However, the historical reality and economic and political interests indicate that the North African countries have been and still are closely connected with the rest of the African continent. Egypt, for example, was one of the leading countries in the African unity movement, and, together with Libya, has contributed to the restructuring of the African continental organisation and the establishment of the African Union. The book consists of two parts. The first part includes five chapters written in English, the second part of the book comprises six chapters written in Arabic.
Die Osteopathia striata mit Schädelsklerosierung (OSCS) ist eine seltene Knochendysplasie, die durch die namensgebende lineare Streifung der langen Röhrenknochen, eine Sklerose des Schädels und seltenere Fehlbildungen anderer Organsysteme charakterisiert ist.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden 3 Familien mit 9 betroffenen Familienmitgliedern untersucht und die Verläufe über teilweise 20 Jahre dokumentiert. Die Symptome wurden mit 55 gut dokumentierten Patienten aus der Literatur verglichen. Typisch sind ein Makrocephalus mit prominenter Stirn und Hypertelorismus, Hörstörungen, LKG-Spalten, und Herzfehler. Seltener sind Syndaktylie, Klinodaktylie, Polydaktylie und Kamptodaktylie, Klumpfüße und Spina bifida occulta.
Fehlbildungen im Bereich der Luftwege und des Verdauungstraktes wurden vereinzelt beschrieben.
Hirnnervenausfälle in Form von Facialisparesen oder partiellen Trigeminusparesen wurden nur in der Literatur beschrieben,
aber bei keinem unserer Patienten.
Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt der Arbeit lag in der Dokumentation von Zahn- und Kieferfehlbildungen, Dysplasien sowie in Therapiemöglichkeiten. So hatten 66 % unserer Patienten dentale Positionsanomalien, 55 % eine Hypodontie durch fehlende oder verlagerte Zähne, während diese nur bei 18 % der Patienten aus der Literatur aufgeführt waren. Alle eigenen Patienten hatten einen gestörten physiologischen Zahnwechsel, so dass häufig Zähne extrahiert werden mussten, um einen Durchbruch, bzw. eine korrekte Einstellung der bleibenden Zähne zu erreichen. Neonatale Zähne und ein Mesiodens als Schwachform einer Holoprosenzephalie erweitern das bisherige dentale Spektrum der OSCS. Kieferorthopädische und kieferchirurgische Behandlungsmöglichkeiten werden diskutiert, wobei auch auf die Erfahrungen bei der Dysostosis cleidocranialis zurückgegriffen wurde, weil es bisher keine Konzepte zur Behandlung der OSCS gab. Mit Kieferdehiszensen nach kieferchirurgischer Behandlung muss aufgrund einer möglicherweise verminderten Osteogenese im sklerosierten Knochen gerechnet werden. Hypodontie, Zahnfehlstellungen und Zahndurchbruchsstörungen sind erste Symptome, die differentialdiagnostisch an eine OSCS denken lassen. Nur durch einen frühzeitigen und multidisziplinären Therapieansatz, der Kinderzahnarzt, Hauszahnarzt, Kieferorthopäde und Kieferchirurg umfasst, lassen sich die vielfältigen Probleme bei Patienten mit OSCS zufriedenstellend behandeln. Wegen der langen Behandlungsdauer ist es notwendig, früh, konsequent und eng Patienten und Eltern in die Behandlungsplanung mit einzubeziehen.
Die OSCS wird X-gekoppelt dominant vererbt. Männer sind zumeist deutlich schwerer betroffen als Frauen. Ursache sind Mutationen im WTX-Gen (Wilms tumor gene on the X-chromosome; Locus: Xq11.1), die zu einer Haploinsuffizienz des Gens führen. WTX supprimiert direkt, bzw. indirekt über Axin den Wnt/ß-catenin Signalweg, der eine große Rolle bei verschiedenen Tumoren und Entwicklungsstörungen spielt. In die regel- und zeitgerechte Zahnentwicklung greift Wnt in mehreren Entwicklungsstufen ein. Die bei der OSCS vorliegenden Zahnfehlbildungen und Dysplasien können dadurch pathogenetisch erklärt werden.
Residual circulation trajectories and transit times into the extratropical lowermost stratosphere
(2011)
Transport into the extratropical lowermost stratosphere (LMS) can be divided into a slow part (time-scale of several months to years) associated with the global-scale stratospheric residual circulation and a fast part (time-scale of days to a few months) associated with (mostly quasi-horizontal) mixing (i.e. two-way irreversible transport, including extratropical stratosphere-troposphere exchange). The stratospheric residual circulation may be considered to consist of two branches: a deep branch more strongly associated with planetary waves breaking in the middle to upper stratosphere, and a shallow branch associated with synoptic and planetary scale waves breaking in the subtropical lower stratosphere. In this study the contribution due to the stratospheric residual circulation alone to transport into the LMS is quantified using residual circulation trajectories, i.e. trajectories driven by the (time-dependent) residual mean meridional and vertical velocities. This contribution represents the advective part of the overall transport into the LMS and can be viewed as providing a background onto which the effect of mixing has to be added. Residual mean velocities are obtained from a comprehensive chemistry-climate model as well as from reanalysis data. Transit times of air traveling from the tropical tropopause to the LMS along the residual circulation streamfunction are evaluated and compared to recent mean age of air estimates. A time-scale separation with much smaller transit times into the mid-latitudinal LMS than into polar LMS is found that is indicative of a separation of the shallow from the deep branch of the residual circulation. This separation between the shallow and the deep circulation branch is further manifested in a distinction in the aspect ratio of the vertical to meridional extent of the trajectories, the integrated mass flux along the residual circulation trajectories, as well as the stratospheric entry latitude of the trajectories. The residual transit time distribution reproduces qualitatively the observed seasonal cycle of youngest air in the extratropical LMS in fall and oldest air in spring.
