The geopolitical importance of the Caspian region does not stem solely from its energy potential. Whether or not the area emerges as a major energy producer, its central geographical location, the considerable potential for regional instability and internal and interstate conflict, and the competition among external powers for influence all suggest that events in the region will shape the balan...

X k=1 z 0k A0;k(z M)Mi01(z M): (41) This formula makes transparent exactly what happens in a recursive computation of the correlation functions. At every stage i, we have the Z-transform at points M 0i n of the appropriate function. In going to the (i + 1)st stage, the rst term Mi01(z M) ensures that values at the previous stage are retained at the even points, while the second term interpolate...

Debate over public-sector auditors’ independence has focused largely on Western developed democracies. Drawing Gramsci's theory of hegemony, this study explores how the political hegemony and ideology influence audit quality in a developing country, Indonesia. In contrast to widely accepted belief that is guaranteed by legislature, argues active intervention undermines thus impairs quality. The...

Vacuolar alternate class I MHC (MHC-I) Ag processing allows presentation of exogenous Ag by MHC-I molecules with binding of antigenic peptides to post-Golgi MHC-I molecules. We investigated the role of previously bound peptides and their dissociation in generating peptide-receptive MHC-I molecules. TAP1-knockout macrophages were incubated overnight with an initial exogenous peptide, producing a...

Today’s digital disruption is a transformation that embraces novel models and forms, which greatly impact numerous industries. Hegemony rises through networking with information. The marketing procedure has many inferences. One been the endurance of inclusivity based on conversation. conversation system one confinement for consumer to rely hegemony dominant procedure.

Grounded in critical theory and the Gramscian concept of hegemony, this article argues that environmental management (EM) can be understood as an accommodation to growing public awareness of environmental problems that potentially threatens dominant hegemonic coalitions. On the material level, EM is a set ofpractices that ameliorates the more egregious environmental consequences of industrial p...
