Examining the concept of 'Temple' throughout Scripture, HEAVEN ON EARTH explores one of the most interesting, but least appreciated themes in biblical theology. Far from being a building used simply for religious activities, the Temple in biblical literature embodies a rich variety of theological ideas. At the heart of these is the interface provided between a holy God and sinful people. An understanding of the role of the Temple (and its predecessor, the Tabernacle) in biblical history provides a remarkable insight into the redemptive purposes of God. From the Garden of Eden in Genesis to the new creation in Revelation, biblical literature abounds with references and allusions to the Temple, all of which underline its significance as an institution and concept. HEAVEN ON EARTH brings evangelical biblical scholars and theologians together to offer a fresh approach to this often neglected area. The biblical essays cover Old Testament, inter-testamental and New Testament material. From Paternoster Press.

This book collects ECM research from the academic discipline of Information Systems and related fields to support academics and practitioners who are interested in understanding the design, use and impact of ECM systems. It also provides a valuable resource for students and lecturers in the field. “Enterprise content management in Information Systems research – Foundations, methods and cases� consolidates our current knowledge on how today’s organizations can manage their digital information assets. The business challenges related to organizational information management include reducing search times, maintaining information quality, and complying with reporting obligations and standards. Many of these challenges are well-known in information management, but because of the vast quantities of information being generated today, they are more difficult to deal with than ever. Many companies use the term “enterprise content management� (ECM) to refer to the management of all forms of information, especially unstructured information. While ECM systems promise to increase and maintain information quality, to streamline content-related business processes, and to track the lifecycle of information, their implementation poses several questions and challenges: Which content objects should be put under the control of the ECM system? Which processes are affected by the implementation? How should outdated technology be replaced? Research is challenged to support practitioners in answering these questions.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 7/10, Maastricht University, language: English, abstract: "The chance to win is overestimated by all people. The chance to lose is underestimated by most people." was already formulated by the moral philosopher and famous economist Adam Smith in his book "Wealth of Nations" in 1776. Two centuries later the behavioural economist Daniel Kahneman confirmed the notion that in situations with uncertainty people are inclined to biased decision-making. Actual tests of the CAPM on stock data confirmed that the market premium as a single factor may be insufficient to explain stock returns completely. Stambough (1982) among many others found a positive relation between beta and average return, however, it was "too flat" and the intercept was greater than a risk-free bond1. Other effects were observed that could not be explained by the market premium alone; these "anomalies" such as the size factor2, book-to-market ("BTM") factor3 and momentum factor4 among others led to the development of more extensive models. These models were in some respects more accurate than the CAPM in predicting future returns; however, it remained unclear why these factors actually matter. However, behavioural finance is no magic bullet for valuation of risk and predictability of returns. Although behavioural finance may explain the occurrence of factors relating to size and type of the firm, it does not provide accurate estimation techniques to enhance return predictability. Moreover, Beechey et al. (2000) underlines 33 The Institute of Behavioral Finance 20 that EMH still validates as a reasonable starting point for tests and research. Furthermore 80% of managers still use the CAPM to calculate the cost of equity capital (Brav et al., 2005). In order to capture the "real" world, however, behavioral finance explains many anomalies, which were then incorporated in multifactor models. Despite the importance of the CAPM as a

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich BWL - Wirtschaftspolitik, Note: 1,3, Technische Universitat Dresden, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschaftigt sich mit der langfristigen Betrachtung der Sparquote der privaten Haushalte in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Das Augenmerk liegt dabei einerseits auf einer umfassenden Darstellung des Sparverhaltens der privaten Haushalte sowie auf einer langfristigen Betrachtung der Entwicklung der Sparquote der privaten Haushalte in den Jahren von 1991 bis 2007. Andererseits werden mogliche okonomische Einflussfaktoren auf das Sparverhalten identifiziert und anhand einer Korrelationsanalyse deren Wirkung auf die Sparquote der privaten Haushalte untersucht. Zu Beginn dieser Arbeit wurden die theoretischen Grundlagen fur eine Untersuchung der okonomischen Einflussfaktoren auf die Sparquote der privaten Haushalte gelegt. Dargestellt wurden zum einen die keynesianisch ausgerichteten Konsumtheorien, deren Grundzuge von J.M. Keynes in den 1930-er Jahren entwickelt und in der Folgezeit zunehmend ausdifferenziert wurden. Das zentrale Element dieser Hypothesen ist, dass sie der Hohe des Einkommens der privaten Haushalte einen dominierenden Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der Sparquote beimessen. Zum anderen wurden die Normaleinkommenshypothesen skizziert, die seit den 1950-er Jahren von M. Friedman und F. Modigliani sowie weiteren Autoren formuliert wurden und die Argumentation der Klassik wieder aufgreifen. Charakteristisch fur diese Hypothesen ist die rationale zukunftsorientierte Planung der Einkommensverwendung der privaten Haushalte. Anders als bei den keynesianischen Theorien werden auch dem Zins, der demographischen Entwicklung, dem Vermogen sowie den Praferenzen der privaten ...
