Vluchtelingen en immigratie

Michael Dummett eminent filosoof en scherpzinnig maatschappijcriticus pleit al vele jaren voor een eerlijke behandeling van immigranten en vluchtelingen in Europa. In dit inzichtelijke boek heeft hij voor de eerste keer al zijn gedachten over deze belangrijke kwestie gebundeld. Na een eerste verkenning van de verwarde en vaak zeer onrechtvaardige opvattingen over immigratie onderwerpt Dummett de principes en rechtvaardigingen van het desbetreffende overheidsbeleid aan een nauwkeurig onderzoek waarbij hij erop wijst dat dit beleid vaak in strijd is met de rechten van vluchtelingen zoals die in het Verdrag van Gen zijn neergelegd. Aan de hand van confronterende en vaak aangrijpende voorbeelden wijst Vluchtelingen en immigratie de weg naar een nieuwe meer menswaardige benadering van een probleem dat wij niet mogen negeren.

Computational Linear Algebra with Applications and MATLAB Computations

Courses on linear algebra and numerical analysis need each other. Often NA courses have some linear algebra topics and LA courses mention some topics from numerical analysis/scientific computing. This text merges these two areas into one introductory undergraduate course. It assumes students have had multivariable calculus. A second goal of this text is to demonstrate the intimate relationship of linear algebra to applications/computations. A rigorous presentation has been maintained. A third reason for writing this text is to present in the first half of the course the very important topic on singular value decomposition SVD. This is done by first restricting consideration to real matrices and vector spaces. The general inner product vector spaces are considered starting in the middle of the text. The text has a number of applications. These are to motivate the student to study the linear algebra topics. Also the text has a number of computations. MATLAB® is used but one could modify these codes to other programming languages. These are either to simplify some linear algebra computation or to model a particular application. | Computational Linear Algebra with Applications and MATLAB® Computations

The Individual Vs. The Public Interest Political Ideology And National Forest Policy

Central to the controversy surrounding U. S. natural resources policy is the conflict between environmentalists and proponents of development. Examining the evolution of the philosophies underlying that conflict Dr. Alston traces the failure to achieve a unified resources policy to the seemingly incompatible ideological positions held by resource specialists interest groups policymakers econo mists and foresters. His analysis goes beyond his case study of na ional forest policy to focus on an ancient question basic to policy making in a democratic society: How can government provide a sociopolitical framework that accomodates both individual interests and the need for unity in a collective existence? Only within this broader framework he argues is it possible to determine the proper division between private and public resource management or the proper role of government in natural resources planning. Incorporating a critical evaluation of the development of classical and neoclassical economic theory this work makes clear the need to strike a balance between a strictly individualistic and an ecological point of view. Dr. Alston illustrates the ideological conflicts that complicate resources planning and explores the possibility of a new ideology capable of accomodating and inte grating differences to meet the complex needs of society. | The Individual Vs.

George C. Wallace and the Politics of Powerlessness The Wallace Campaigns for the Presidency 1964-76

This is the only complete study of the Wallace phenomenon. It covers all of the presidential campaigns and views wallace from a variety of vantage ints: historical context content anal-ysis of speeches and analysis of elec-tion data including voting statistics and attitudinal patterns of supporters. Poli-tics of Powerlessness examines na-tionwide support for George C. Wal-lace in the presidential campaigns of 1964 1968 1972 and 1976. A number of election and candidate preference surveys are used as sources of data on supporters. An understanding of Wal-lace's appeal is provided through an examination of themes noted through-out his speeches and an analysis of his political history from biographical sources personal interviews and newspaper accounts of the time. The picture of Wallace that emerges is one of a man who saw himself as a crusader for his supporters' interests while de-liberately heightening and intensifying their feelings of powerlessness as a means of getting votes. Carlson shows that Wallace voters were not marginal. They did not reflect a loss of status nor were they simply outside the mainstream of political life. They were very much like major party voters with the exception of their feel-ings of political powerlessness that me about by increased government . . rticipation in state politics. This work informed not only by a careful anal-ysis but by interviews with Wallace many of his followers and people active in his campaigns. The work has the additional advantage of having follow-up analyses and interviews as late as 1978. In this sense it represents not only a scholarly analysis of the Wallace phenomenon but the most up-to-date analysis as well. | George C.

Fluoride Removal from Groundwater by Adsorption Technology

In the Eastern corridor of Northern region of Ghana presence of high fluoride concentration in the groundwater has made many drilled boreholes unusable for drinking. Little is however known about the factors contributing to the occurrence of high fluoride in this part of Ghana and it’s spatial distribution. Treatment of the fluoride-contaminated groundwater by adsorption is also hampered by the lack of suitable adsorbents that are locally available. Based on principal component analysis and saturation indices calculations this thesis highlights that the predominant mechanisms controlling the fluoride enrichment probably include calcite precipitation and Na/Ca exchange processes both of which deplete Ca from the groundwater and promote the dissolution of fluorite. The mechanisms also include F-/OH- anion exchange processes as well as evapotranspiration processes which concentrate the fluoride ions hence increasing its concentration in the groundwater. Spatial mapping showed that the high fluoride groundwaters occur predominantly in the Saboba Cheriponi and Yendi districts. The thesis further highlights that modifying the surface of indigenous materials by an aluminium coating process is a very promising approach to develop a suitable fluoride adsorbent. Aluminum oxide coated media reduced fluoride in water from 5. 0 ± 0. 2 mg/L to ≤ 1. 5 mg/L (which is the WHO health based guideline for fluoride) in both batch and continuous flow column experiments in the laboratory. Kinetic and isotherm studies thermodynamic calculations as well as analytical results from Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy suggest the mechanism of fluoride adsorption onto aluminium oxide coated media involved both physisorption and chemisorption processes. Field testing in a fluoritic community in Northern Ghana showed that the adsorbent is also capable of treating fluoride-contaminated groundwater in field conditions suggesting it is a promising defluoridation adsorbent. The adsorbent also showed good regenerability potential that would allow re-use which could make it practically and economically viable. Additional research is however required to further increase the fluoride adsorption capacity of developed adsorbent. | Fluoride Removal from Groundwater by Adsorption Technology
