Ethnographies of Deservingness Unpacking Ideologies of Distribution and Inequality

English | ISBN: 1800735995 | 2022 | 436 pages | PDF | 1530 KB
Claims around ‘who deserves what and why’ moralise inequality in the current global context of unprecedented wealth and its ever more selective distribution. Ethnographies of Deservingness explores this seeming paradox and the role of moralized assessments of distribution by reconnecting disparate discussions in the anthropology of migration, economic anthropology and political anthropology. This edited collection provides a novel and systematic conceptualization of Deservingness and shows how it can serve as a prime and integrative conceptual prism to ethnographically explore transforming welfare states, regimes of migration, as well as capitalist social reproduction and relations at large.

Rainfall Behavior, Forecasting and Distribution


Free Download Olga E. Martin, "Rainfall: Behavior, Forecasting and Distribution "
English | ISBN: 1620815516 | 2013 | 193 pages | PDF | 15 MB
In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the behaviour, forecasting and distribution of rainfall variability. Topics discussed in this compilation include coping strategies in relation to local rainfall variability in Tanzania; rainfall variability and changes in Bangladesh; non-parametric methods for forecasting time series from cumulative monthly rainfall; long term and interannual rainfall variability in the Argentinean Chaco plain region; study of wet scavenging of atmospheric aerosols using decay products in rainwater; spatial variability of rain and its erosivity in a tropical semi-arid area in Kenya; potential of the piezoelectric transducer for direct rainfall kinetic energy measurement and erosivity evaluation; climatology and rainfall in north-east Brazil; and the Kalman Filtering approach in the calibration of radar rainfall data.

The Normal Distribution Characterizations with Applications


Free Download The Normal Distribution: Characterizations with Applications By Wlodzimierz Bryc (auth.)
1995 | 139 Pages | ISBN: 0387979905 | PDF | 5 MB
This book is a concise presentation of the normal distribution on the real line and its counterparts on more abstract spaces, which we shall call the Gaussian distributions. The material is selected towards presenting characteristic properties, or characterizations, of the normal distribution. There are many such properties and there are numerous rel evant works in the literature. In this book special attention is given to characterizations generated by the so called Maxwell’s Theorem of statistical mechanics, which is stated in the introduction as Theorem 0.0.1. These characterizations are of interest both intrin sically, and as techniques that are worth being aware of. The book may also serve as a good introduction to diverse analytic methods of probability theory. We use characteristic functions, tail estimates, and occasionally dive into complex analysis. In the book we also show how the characteristic properties can be used to prove important results about the Gaussian processes and the abstract Gaussian vectors. For instance, in Section 5.4 we present Fernique’s beautiful proofs of the zero-one law and of the integrability of abstract Gaussian vectors. The central limit theorem is obtained via characterizations in Section 7.3.

Mehrkanalsysteme in der Distribution


Free Download Mehrkanalsysteme in der Distribution By Marcus Schögel (auth.)
1997 | 294 Pages | ISBN: 3824465698 | PDF | 7 MB
Immer mehr Unternehmungen des Konsum-, Investitions- und Dienstleistungsbereichs restrukturieren ihre Absatzkanäle und distribuieren ihre Leistungen über Mehrkanalsyteme. Sie kombinieren zum Teil miteinander konkurrierende Absatzkanäle und sprechen die Kunden beispielsweise gleichzeitig über Direktvertrieb, Fachhandel, Discounter und Versandhandel an. Marcus Schögel analysiert Zusammenhänge, Probleme und Lösungen für das Management von Mehrkanalsystemen, um die unterschiedlichen Wege zum Kunden wirtschaftlich und kundenorientiert zu gestalten. Der Autor entwickelt ein Entscheidungsmodell für Unternehmungen unterschiedlicher Branchen, das Leitideen und Handlungsalternativen aufzeigt und als konzeptionelle Grundlage für das Management von Mehrkanalsystemen dient. Interessant ist dieses Buch für Dozenten und Studenten der Betriebswirtschaftslehre mit den Schwerpunkten Marketing und Organisation. Praktiker aus dem Bereich Vertrieb, die Mehrkanalsysteme einsetzen, erhalten wertvolle Hinweise.
