Найти книгу: "Cash Transfers in Context"

Marginal in status a decade ago, cash transfer programs have become the preferred channel for delivering emergency aid or tackling poverty in low- and middle-income countries. While these programs have had positive effects, they are typical of top-down development interventions in that they impose on local contexts standardized norms and procedures regarding conditionality, targeting, and delivery. This book sheds light on the crucial importance of these contexts and the many unpredicted consequences of cash transfer programs worldwide – detailing how the latter are used by actors to pursue their own strategies, and how external norms are reinterpreted, circumvented, and contested by local populations.

Мария Черницкая – о текущем состоянии российского рынка контекстной рекламы и его будущем, об агентстве iConText и его бизнесе, о том, почему автоматизированные системы продвижения не заменят менеджеров с головой, почему PR в интернете лучше, чем SEO, и о различиях в рекламных технологиях между Россией и Западом. Интервью с гостьей: – Как дипломированному филологу удалось стать видной фигурой в интернет-бизнесе? – Как Mail.ru начал превращаться в гигантскую корпорацию и почему Lycos проиграл битву за рынок? – Конкурентная среда в контекстной рекламе. Кто выживет на рынке? – Автоматизированные системы или менеджеры с головой? – «<Российские сервисы контекстной рекламы> – домашние поделки на фоне того, что умеют делать западные системы». – «Битва за первые места в поисковой выдаче скорее „пузомерка” и борьба за имиджевое присутствие. К эффективности затрат она не имеет никакого отношения». – Как будет развиваться контекстная реклама в социальных сетях?

A porous medium is composed of a solid matrix and its geometrical complement: the pore space. This pore space can be occupied by one or more fluids. The understanding of transport phenomena in porous media is a challenging intellectual task. This book provides a detailed analysis of the aspects required for the understanding of many experimental techniques in the field of porous media transport phenomena. It is aimed at students or engineers who may not be looking specifically to become theoreticians in porous media, but wish to integrate knowledge of porous media with their previous scientific culture, or who may have encountered them when dealing with a technological problem. While avoiding the details of the more mathematical and abstract developments of the theories of acroscopization, the author gives as accurate and rigorous an idea as possible of the methods used to establish the major laws of macroscopic behavior in porous media. He also illustrates the constitutive laws and equations by demonstrating some of their classical applications. Priority is to put forward the constitutive laws in concrete circumstances without going into technical detail. This third volume in the three-volume series focuses on the applications of isothermal transport and coupled transfers in porous media.
