TPP Slideshow: Corporate Power vs Peoples' Rightsaftinet
The document summarizes key concerns about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement currently being negotiated between 12 countries including Australia and the US. It notes the TPP contains 29 chapters mostly addressing legal changes to suit US corporate interests rather than trade.

This summary report from the Australian Law Reform Commission examines laws and legal frameworks that deny or diminish equal recognition of people with disabilities.

Tort law, sometimes called civil law, addresses non-criminal incidents like negligence, nuisance, trespass, and defamation through civil lawsuits rather than criminal charges. The landmark negligence case Donoghue v Stevenson established the legal concept of duty of care.

The Legal Services Act 2007 established new regulatory bodies to reform legal services regulation in England and Wales. The Act created the Legal Services Board as the oversight regulator and the Office for Legal Complaints as an independent complaints handling body. It also allows for Alternative Business Structures that permit different types of legal professionals and external investment in law firms. Implementation of the new bodies will take several years, with the LSB expected to be fully operational by early 2010 and the OLC by late 2010. The reforms aim to establish a clearer regulatory framework, ensure proportionate supervision, and deliver legal services in new ways to better meet consumer needs.

This document is a master's thesis that examines the impact of customer relationship marketing strategies on market performance among Iranian telecommunication service providers. The thesis involved collecting data from 105 telecommunication managers in Iran to understand the relationship between attraction activities, loyalty programs (bonus programs, contact, customer satisfaction, complaint handling), and market performance measures (market position, customer perception, customer loyalty). The hypotheses were evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings suggest that loyalty and interaction programs have a greater impact on market performance than service quality alone, particularly on market position. Attraction activities have a greater impact on customer perception, while bonus programs and customer satisfaction are more strongly associated with customer loyalty.
This document is a master's thesis that aims to identify factors influencing Generation Y Thai consumers' purchase of luxury cars.

Preliminary findings indicate demographic indicators like gender, occupation, and income significantly impact buying decisions. Personal values like materialism and brand identity also influence purchases. The thesis aims to provide recommendations to help Volvo better target Generation Y consumers in Thailand.

This document presents a project plan to reduce goat meat imports in Nepal by 50% by 2012, 75% by 2013, and 100% by 2015. It analyzes the current situation of goat farming and meat production in Nepal, outlines objectives and limitations. It projects population growth and estimates future demand for goat meat.
