Ehidiamhen P: Impact of Federation of
Agricultural Commodity Associations of

Impact of Federation of Agricultural Commodity Associations of Nigeria on the Economic Empowerment of its Members

In ihrem bisher persönlichsten Buch spricht Florence Given über eines der letzten Tabus des modernen Feminismus: weibliche Konkurrenz.'Für wen hält die sich eigentlich?' - jede Frau kennt diesen Satz. Er soll bremsen, verunsichern und klein halten: Sei nicht zu laut, nicht zu ehrgeizig, nimm bloß nicht zu viel Raum ein. Florence Given zeigt, wie tief Frauen diese Mechanismen verinnerlicht haben und warum gerade Frauen diese gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen gegeneinander verwenden. Sie fragt sich: Wie würden Frauen leben, wenn ihnen die Meinung anderer egal wäre? Wozu wären sie in der Lage? Wie unverschämt gut würde sich ihr Leben anfühlen?Ein emotionaler Weckruf, der Frauen dazu empowert, endlich kompromisslos das Leben zu führen, das sie wirklich führen wollen.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award How 1,000 years of global history show why technological and economic progress is often followed by stagnation and even collapse In How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies--the United States and China--have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change. By examining key historical moments--from the rise of the steam engine to the dawn of AI--Frey shows why technological shifts have shaped, and sometimes destabilized, entire civilizations. He explores why some leading technological powers of the past--such as Song China, the Dutch Republic, and Victorian Britain--ultimately lost their innovative edge, why some modern nations such as Japan had periods of rapid growth followed by stagnation, and why planned economies like the Soviet Union collapsed after brief surges of progress. Frey uncovers a recurring tension in history: while decentralization fosters the exploration of new technologies, bureaucracy is crucial for scaling them. When institutions fail to adapt to technological change, stagnation inevitably follows. Only by carefully balancing decentralization and bureaucracy can nations innovate and grow over the long term--findings that have worrying implications for the United States, Europe, China, and other economies today. Through a rich narrative that weaves together history, economics, and technology, How Progress Ends reveals that managing the future requires us to draw the right lessons from the past.

Studies in Private International Law

This groundbreaking book offers an in-depth exploration of the complex and evolving landscape of the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments across Africa. Covering more than 26 jurisdictions, it spans a remarkable diversity of linguistic traditions (including English, French, Arabic, and Portuguese), religious contexts (such as Christian-majority and Muslim-majority countries), and legal systems (ranging from common law and civil law to mixed jurisdictions). As the first comprehensive study of its kind, the book examines national procedures, legal regimes, and institutional frameworks, combining theoretical insights with practical analysis. It sheds light on the multifaceted challenges that arise in cross-border civil and commercial litigation and reflects on the prospects for legal harmonization and reform within the continent. Drawing on the most up-to-date case law and legislative developments, both domestic and regional, the book offers a unique and timely contribution to understanding the mechanisms-current and emerging-that govern the movement of judgments across African borders. A practical guide and indispensable reference for practitioners, academics, judges, students, and policy makers alike, this invaluable book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of foreign judgments recognition and enforcement in Africa, with all its intricacies and complexities.

Was, wenn das innere Auge nichts sieht und genau darin eine besondere Stärke liegt?Die preisgekrönte Journalistin Evelyn Roll lebt mit Aphantasie: Sie kann sich Dinge abstrakt vorstellen, aber nicht innerlich visualisieren. Ihr inneres Auge ist vollständig blind. Lange wusste sie nicht, wie sie dieses Andersseineinordnen sollte, bis sie erkannte, dass ihre Wahrnehmung einer neurologischen Besonderheit folgt und kein Mangel an Fantasie ist.<ul><li>Persönlicher Lebensbericht über Aphantasie und ein Leben ohne innere Bilder</li><li>Verständlicher Einblick in Neurodiversität und die Vielfalt menschlicher Gehirne</li><li>Ermutigendes Buch über Anderssein, Selbstverständnis und besondere Fähigkeiten</li><li>Für Leser:innen von autobiografischen Sachbüchern, Psychologie und Hirnforschung</li></ul> 
In ihrem persönlichen Lebensbericht erzählt Evelyn Roll von Erfahrungen, scheinbaren Seltsamkeiten und Sonderbegabungen und von dem Moment, in dem vieles plötzlich einen Namen bekam. Aphantasie zeigt: Menschliche Gehirne funktionieren so&nbsp;individuellwie Fingerabdrücke. Was für die einen selbstverständlich ist, kann für andere völlig anders aussehen oder nicht sichtbar sein.Evelyn Roll verbindet autobiografische Einblicke mit Erkenntnissen über das Gehirn und die Vielfalt menschlicher Wahrnehmung. Ihr Buch ist ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer dafür, Neurodiversität neu zu denken, Unterschiede zu verstehen und Anderssein als Superkraft zu feiern.

How apprenticeship shaped the English economy Apprenticeship dominated training and skill formation in early modern Europe. Years spent learning from a skilled master were a nearly universal experience for young workers in crafts and trade. In England, when apprenticeship reached its peak, as many as a third of all teenage males would serve and learn as apprentices. In The Market for Skill, Patrick Wallis shows how apprenticeship helped reshape the English economy. Some historians see apprenticeship as a key ingredient in the industrial revolution; others agree with Adam Smith in seeing it as wasteful and conservative. Wallis shows that neither of these perspectives is entirely accurate. He offers a new account of apprenticeship and the market for skill in England, analyzing the records of hundreds of thousands of individual apprentices to tell the story of how apprenticeship worked and how it contributed to the transformation of England. Wallis details the activities of apprentices and masters, the strategies of ambitious parents, the interventions of guilds and the decisions of town officials. He shows how the system of early modern apprenticeship contributed to the growth of cities, the movement of workers from farms to manufacturing and the spread of new technologies and productive knowledge. In this groundbreaking study, Wallis argues that apprenticeship succeeded precisely because it was a flexible institution which allowed apprentices to change their minds and exit contracts early. Apprenticeship provided a vital channel for training that families could trust and that was accessible to most young people, whatever their background.

"[O]ne of the most original and important books on Africa in years."--Financial Times"Challenges outdated narratives and makes a compelling case for the continent's economic potential."--Bill GatesFrom the acclaimed author of How Asia Works, an essential exploration of the engines of economic growth across AfricaThe culmination of twenty years spent studying Asian economics, Joe Studwell's celebrated How Asia Works revealed the key policies behind the meteoric growth of the "Asian tigers." The question he kept hearing from those inspired by his clear-eyed understanding of global development: what about Africa? He was finally convinced to investigate further when the inquiries began coming from Africans themselves. A decade of research, travel and on-the-ground reporting began.Studwell expected that Africa's challenging geography and its crippling legacies of colonialism would necessitate a unique developmental recipe. Yet to his astonishment, the African countries that succeeded did so by embracing the very same strategies their Asian counterparts had--strategies that are far different from those foisted on Africa by the international community. He explores these winning policies via four countries that have seen exceptional economic growth (Botswana, Mauritius, Ethiopia and Rwanda) and that demonstrate both the promise and the particular challenge of the African context. Highlighting the achievements of local leaders, Studwell argues that prosperity is well within reach and that the rapidly rising population--seen as alarming by so many--will be foundational to Africa's flourishing. How Africa Works is essential, optimistic reading for anyone looking to understand the next chapter of global development.

Warum das so nicht weitergehen kann und wie eine empowernde Medizin der Zukunft aussieht, zeigt Dr. Mertcan Usluer. 
Als 'Gynäkollege' begeistert der queere Arzt mit Migrationshintergrund über 370.000 Menschen auf Instagram und bringt Medizin, Gesellschaftskritik und queere Themen zusammen. Mit schamfreiem Ton und systemischer Schärfe zerlegt er medizinische Mythen und benennt strukturelle Ungerechtigkeit. 
Zwischen wissenschaftlicher Präzision und emotionaler Essayistik zeigt dieses Buch, warum Medizin, Politik und Gesellschaft untrennbar sind, und warum es sich lohnt, für die eigene Gesundheit aktiv zu werden.

This book offers a novel jurisprudential account of law by arguing for a conceptual understanding of participation as foundational to a general explanation of law and legitimate authority. In doing so, the book challenges dominant accounts, arguing that the existing failure to separate an explanation of law's authority from the concept of its legitimacy has left a general explanation of law incomplete. From this, the book argues, both general jurisprudence and broader society have suffered. This is especially so for societies that tend to fall outside the Euro-American concern of much mainstream analytical jurisprudence. The historical experience of such societies, however, reveals much of normative and analytical significance. Bringing together normative, historical archival, and case study analysis, the book develops a positive account of law that highlights the importance of participation as a multifaceted process in the continuous historical development of law and legal system in any society. This account, the book argues, is crucial to a more complete explanation of law's authoritative function and normative legitimacy. The book's account of participation, further, foregrounds a broader and more normatively robust understanding of the relationship between a general explanation of law and other philosophically fundamental ideals, namely: freedom, justice, democracy, and deliberation. The book's examinations, which integrate arguments from scholarship in African political philosophy with mainstream arguments in analytical jurisprudence, lead it to new and original answers to longstanding questions in legal philosophy about the nature of law's authority, it's legitimate justification and, the grounds also, for collectively disobeying it.

Master's Thesis from the year 2026 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: This thesis examines whether ESG still "pays" financially for European firms between 2015 and 2025, in a context shaped by the EU's Green Deal and CSRD on the one hand and by overlapping crises, inflation, and tighter financing conditions on the other. Methodologically, it conducts a systematic literature review with a qualitative (narrative) synthesis of quantitative, firm¿level studies on the ESG-CFP relationship for European companies. The final evidence base comprises 23 studies. 

Financially, ESG effects are more consistent in market¿based and risk¿related outcomes (e.g., valuation multiples, volatility/risk measures, and in some studies the cost of capital) than in short¿term accounting profitability (ROA/ROE), where results are smaller and more heterogeneous. Across ESG dimensions, the social pillar emerges as the most robust driver of firm value; environmental effects appear more context-dependent (often stronger in high¿impact sectors through transition¿risk channels), while governance mainly functions as an enabling condition for credible ESG strategies. Over the 2015-2025 window, the review does not identify a strong, consistent time trend in the ESG-CFP relationship. A key reason is that relatively few studies isolate crisis subperiods cleanly enough to compare pre¿crisis, crisis, and recovery phases in a consistent way.
