Ethics identifies with the moral issues governing the differences between what is wrong and what is right. Ethics expresses the norms resonating with agreeable behaviours and non-agreeable behaviours in the community. Research shows that people learn ethics in schools, in homes, in religious places, and in other environmental social settings. Research ethics is characterised by the application of the ethical principles in scientific research. Shi (2007) argues that the considerations of ethics in research outcomes modernisations are critical in research findings and research project. It has been noted that healthcare industry has a number of researches in form of research enquiries that are defined by the theories involved in scientific research. There have been concerns over the application of ethical standards in defining the qualitative approaches in research work (Shi, 2007). There are diverse challenges faced by researchers in conducting the research practices in the scientific research, among them validation of results. Research is an expensive exercise and
Introduction The environment is an important part of every human being. This is because it is what informs the quality of life that one leads. In essence, quality is defined by the environment or the surroundings that one has (Abraham 2006). Thus, maintaining a quality environment is usually on top of the agenda when it comes to establishing the kind of area that one is living in. We live in a society that seeks to ensure that development is achieved in all things. It is worth noting that most of development projects within the society emanate from the construction which takes place within the society. In this case the buildings which are put up need to meet certain standards which are in line with the expectations of environmental sustainability as well as ensure that the quality of the building is in accordance with the stated regulations. It therefore follows that achieving sustainability is the role of the engineers (Jonker & Jan 2012). Purpose of the report The purpose of this report is to establish the main considerations which need to be put in mind when designing buildings. It brings to the fore the importance of engineering which is based on strategy as well as technology based on progress (Jonker & Jan 2012). Preview of the themes The main themes in this report evaluate the impact of the engineering projects on the environment. In addition, this report seeks to evaluate some of the strategies which need to be put in place in order to ensure that the negative impacts of the future engineering projects are mitigated (Abraham 2006). This will be achieved through ensuring that some of the major objectives are realized. These objectives include working towards ensuring that the maintenance of the options which are available meet a given criteria that is in tandem with the critical threats and objectives, secondly, identifying the critical threats with the intention of avoiding the threats to sustainability and lastly, being in a position of coming up with long term strategies which will work towards safeguarding the interests of the people as well as ensuring that the long term projects are beneficial to all the parties who are
The past years witnessed rapid changes in the patterns of macroeconomic development in Europe. Most European countries have managed to preserve their macroeconomic position despite the dramatic financial difficulties facing the developed world. At the same time, as the balance of macroeconomic forces changes globally, Europe must be ready to readjust its macroeconomic decisions to meet the emerging fiscal, monetary, and trade needs. IHS Global Insight (2014) provides a brief but detailed overview of German macroeconomics. Germany is claimed to be one of the key economic players in Europe. The purpose of this report is to summarize the current state of macroeconomics in Germany and evaluate its implications for future development. Summary of the Article IHS Global Insight (2014) has conducted a detailed review of the macroeconomic affairs in Germany. The key message sent by IHS Global Insight (2014) is that Germany has everything needed to pursue further economic growth, but the risks of crisis in the Eurozone should not be disregarded. In terms of GDP, investment and private consumption will remain its principal components (IHS Global Insight, 2014). Exports will be problematic due to the Eurozone crisis mentioned above. Germany can expect its annual GDP growth to reach 1.5 percent, although demographic factors will slow down GDP growth in the long run (IHS Global Insight, 2014). In terms of consumer demand, the discussed Eurozone crisis may have negative impacts on buoyancy; still, Germany can expect its incomes, employment, and wages to grow in the short-term perspective. These income developments will open new opportunities for retailers (IHS Global Insight, 2014). The inflation prospects facing Germany are quite optimistic. IHS Global Insight (2014) suggests that, until the beginning of 2015, the rates of headline inflation will not exceed 2 percent. Underlying inflation in the medium- and long-term perspectives will also remain within reasonable limits. These prospects will predetermine the direction of the country’s fiscal and monetary policies. According to IHS Global Insight (2014), despite the economic problems Germany experienced in 2012, its public image in fiscal and monetary policymaking remains attractive. In September 2013, a new government coalition was created to implement an expansionary fiscal policy and provide continued support to public finances (IHS Global Insight, 2014). As for the German monetary system, its targets are set by the European Central Bank, and the euro remains one of the most convertible international currencies (IHS Global Insight, 2014). Germany expects its prices to be relatively stable, and the negative consequences of the European and global financial crises for Germany are likely to be minimal (IHS Global Insight, 2014). External trade is still one of the key macroeconomic sectors in Germany. IHS Global Insight
The article titled “Schema Theory: Implications for Movement Education” talks about the way people move, the reasons and circumstances, as well as the consequences of movement on a persona and the surrounding environment. The authors first address the topic by discussing the schema theory of movement. This theory involves a close study and analysis of how movement develops. Many theories suppose a linear development and question of how the new movements can be produced if the person is not physically familiar with the way they must be carried out. The schema theory supposes that there is a program that helps an individual to access a certain plan or basic “layout” of the action and thus perform it. This program is in charge of the way the whole system of signals and body actions interact with one another. The speed of reaction is also controlled by the program, which response to the stimuli in the environment. But the difficult part is that the schema or program of movement must be closely studied to dissect how an individual chooses a particular program, how the situation influences that decision, and what determines its change or modification. It seems, there is a great number of such programs, each one being unique and used for a great number of different situations. The environment determines what specific program will be used and at the same time, the environment is somewhat changed after the action comes into existence. A person is already familiar with the number and type of programs that can be chosen from. The choice itself is done almost automatically and subconsciously, so a person does not think about which specific program or schema to use. This is a quick physical, biological and mental response to anything in the surroundings. As to schema theory, the person learns the movements and modifications from childhood and on. The result of one’s actions is recorded and the schema itself is modified and changed. The “errors” in learning are also an influencing factor that accesses the program and makes it different from before. On a personal level, a person needs to know the result of their actions, as the knowledge can make improvements or changes to the schema. The article talks about several programs that a person has and how they are constantly changed so that the information that makes them up never stays the same. I believe the process is a little different. The human organism does not know if a certain situation will be repeated in the future and so, the movement that it performed and remembered must stay in the mind as the original movement. If it is modified and changed constantly, the initial criteria for the first movement in the chain will be lost. As there is no guarantee that the situation will not be repeated or a similar situation will not take place, it is possible to assume that that particular movement stays the same in the brain and that simply new ones are created. It is supposed that human memory is unlimited, so the number of possible and performed movements can be enormous and never-ending. The article suggests an idea for future research. I
The film’s director Masahiro Shinoda has done a beautiful job creating his work full of deep meaning and symbolism. The scenes, patterns, lighting, unusual style, and movement make the film stand out. This work is made in black and white. The story portrayed in the movie is set in Japan of the 18 th century and follows the lives of two lovers, which are destined to be separated by many factors. The trader named Jihei is in love with Koharu, the courtesan. Society will not allow them to be together because Jihei is married and has two children, and because Koharu belongs to her owner. The man has no money to redeem her from the brothel. In the end, the lovers commit double suicide to be together in the afterlife. This story is shown as if it is played in a Kabuki theatre, the actors symbolize puppets, and there is the presence of the puppeteers, dressed in all black and hoods, they are the invisible force that directs the characters, they silently observe every scene. The scenes of the film have distinct patterns, many straight lines. The outfits of the actors match the colors and looks of the surroundings. The camera often shows the scenes from the top to watch the characters and the scene merge. The puppeteers sometimes participate in the action, their hands touch the characters, directing them, holding their shoulders. Sometimes actors freeze to let the puppeteers move and arrange the scene, change the decorations. Some of the scenes are accompanied by narration, a male voice that explains what is going on, it appears in the scenes where the samurai ties up Jihei at the brothel, or when Koharu’s letter from John’s wife Osama is revealed. The narrator’s parts are a mix between talking and singing, that is also supported by simple music produced by a string instrument, its sounds are low and dramatic, and there is no melody in them, these sounds are mostly used to emphasize the words of the narrator. The director uses striped and checked geometrical patterns in the locations. To represent the new surroundings, the quick change of shots of patterns is employed. These patterns create contrast for the scenes; the walls are covered in paintings or letters; there are fences and columns; all shapes are straight and correct. The symbolism of the film is determined by the fact that the characters are constantly watched by invisible people in black with their faces covered. These figures resemble the image of Death in Western culture. It seems like the main characters were doomed from the very beginning.
Introduction The global prevalence of diabetes mellitus continues to rise at alarming rate. Accordingly, Eckel et al. (2004, p. 2971) underscore that this trend is instilling fear among governments due to its implications on healthcare budgets. Additionally, this chronic condition has equally been blamed for high levels of morbidity and mortality (Eckel et al., 2004, p. 2972). As a matter of fact, diabetes has been termed as a lifestyle disease and its rapid spread has triggered the need for public awareness campaigns aimed at educating vulnerable populations on the risk factors associated with the condition (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2006, p. 12). Moreover, the situation has also triggered intense and extensive research as experts seek knowledge about anti-diabetes solutions owing to the fact that recognition of preventive measures will go a long way towards containing the disease (Alqurashi, Aljabri & Bokhari, 2011, p. 20). As epitomized above, diabetes epidemic is widespread around the world. However, this essay is limited in scope and will only analyze its prevalence in Australia and Middle East with an aim of exposing both similarities and differences. Furthermore, this essay also aims at an analyzing the condition from a sociological point of view whereby the views of sociologists like Karl max, Goffman, Foucauldian ,Durkheim as well as Feminism concept will be integrated in this analysis. Most importantly, the essay begins with a background analysis of diabetes prevalence in Australia and Middle East as well as the Pathophysiology of the disease. Background information According to Eckel et al. (2004, p. 2968), the year 2000 world statistics stood at heartbreaking figure of 171 million patients. Experts warn that this figure might reach 366 million patients by 2030. Statistics in Australia from a research conducted between 2004 and 2005 estimated that around 700,000 Australians had diabetes mellitus type 2 (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2006, p. 12). In addition, it has been regarded as a leading chronic condition and during the same period it was the cause of most hospital admissions in South West region of Australia (AIHW, 2006, p. 12). Prevalence cuts across all segments of the population ranging from old to young people regardless of gender or social class owing to the increasing habits of unhealthy consumption of foods as well as reduced physical activity among (Alqurashi, Aljabri & Bokhari,
Introduction “To be or not to be” is one of the most iconic lines in dramaturgy and literature which has grown to define the play Hamlet , written by the famous playwright William Shakespeare in 1599 (Hamlet 3.1.64). In centuries since, it has become one of the most studied, reenacted, and discussed plays ever written due to the genius of its plot, themes, and style. Hamlet is a tragic tale of revenge and justice which highlights the human tragic flaws that Shakespeare masterfully introduces into the plot through philosophical soliloquies, deeply symbolic imagery, and the use of tone and verse for portrayal. Themes Hamlet is a relatively complex play with numerous overlapping themes, the primary ones being revenge and having to face mortality. Death is a continuous presence in the plot as Hamlet loses his father and then attempts to kill Claudius, as a result, directly and indirectly, causing the death of other key characters. Although the primary plot point revolves around revenge, the theme itself is focused on the inner struggle of Hamlet of whether such an action is just and moral. He questions his motifs and the need for such bloodlust. This transitions into the next theme of mortality which is directly interconnected with another concept that the inevitable cannot be avoided. The dark tones that Shakespeare paints in Hamlet and through Hamlet’s suicidal ramblings, the world is seemingly full of death. From the point when confronted with his father’s ghost, Hamlet inevitably accepts that mortality cannot be avoided, which fully drives his actions. In one of his soliloquies Hamlet states, “we defy augury. There is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it is now, ’tis not to come; if it is not to come, it will be now; if it is not now, yet it will come” (Hamlet 5.2.233). It is a discussion on the theme of fate, which is predetermined. Despite omens that may be warning Hamlet, the ultimate fate of his death is decided, and therefore there is no sense in delay or fear. At the same time, the play also comments on the impossibility of certainty and within its motifs, challenges the status quo and expectations of the characters (Lim 5). It begins with supernatural such as the presence of the ghost and Hamlet attempting to glance into Claudius’ soul, to the mystery of the crime and the need for revenge. Some things that seem certain are complex and thus leading to challenges of morality and indecisiveness of Hamlet on how to act. Shakespeare’s Style Like many of Shakespeare’s major plays, Hamlet is written in iambic pentameter, using a combination of prose and verse. Shakespeare selectively uses blank verse and uses language to help the reader understand the character’s socioeconomic class as well as psychological state and mood. The mix of prose and verse was common for Shakespeare and other dramatists from that period, redefining the predecessor style of rhyming verse. In the play, Hamlet, as royalty and an educated man, is expected to use iambic pentameter and near-perf
Introduction According to Schneider (2009, p. 73), knowledge is one of the most important factors in any organisation in the current society. With the increasing level of competition, firms are under pressure to have a knowledge management system that can enable all the stakeholders to share relevant information within the shortest period possible. There has been an effort by many organisations to shorten the process of data collection, its analysis, and the storage of the information that comes out of the analysis. For this to be achieved there is need to have an effective data management system. Such systems would ensure speedy collection and analysis of data, and their stored within the organisation. This efficiency in the management of knowledge would define success of firm and its ability to manage environmental forces. Understanding the core concepts of knowledge management is important in the current business environment. This research focuses on the core concepts of knowledge management by conducting a case study on human resource training at a McMulla Retailer Store in New York. Case Study McMulla Retailer Store has been very successful in the retail industry because of the ability of its management and its employees to change with changes that take place in the environment. However, the firm recently realised that most of its employees at the local stores are unable to meet the expectations of the clients who visit the facility. In the past, most of these attendants ensured that the shelves were properly arranged in order to make them attractive. However, this trend has changed. The customers currently want engaging attendants who can tell them about new brands or improved products that can meet their needs in the best way. This means that the attendants must be quick to identify customers who need their engagement even without verbally requesting for it. This has been blamed for the reduced rates of sales at this firm within the first quarter of 2014. The training and development director at this firm was informed of this problem, and they realised that the problem was majorly because of the limited knowledge of the attendants. This case study focuses on the training programme that was organised by the management to address this problem. The human resource management was able to realise that the information management system that was in use within the organisation was not effective enough. Employees working within the stores could not access relevant information that this firm had been gathering about the changing customers’ practices. In the training programme, the first activity was to integrate a communication system within the organisation and train all the employees, especially the attendants, how to access and use the information within the organisation. One area that this firm highly encouraged its employees to focus on was in the field of social media. Facebook and Tweeter are the best media that an organisation can mine data about the changing tastes
Introduction A do-type learning activity aims at putting the learned information into skills (Horton, 2006). It helps the learner to gain experience by putting his knowledge into practice. It might take forms such as making discovery using information, practicing using an experiment or making simulations among many others. In the world of technology and medicine, do-type activities are highly necessary (Goldstein, & Ford 2002). They equip students with the experience to handle patient and machines as expected. In such cases, a student is never competent without carrying out the activities needed for experience. For example, a doctor cannot carry out surgery on a patient without doing a surgical experiment on a rat or any other animal. This is because they need sufficient practice helping them reduce errors in their actual surgery. This ideology applies in the field of technology and other professional fields. In this discussion, we shall consider a do-type activity in the form of practice. About the Topic Technology is the most crucial component of the modern world. In the field of communication, people have significantly used email addresses and social sites. Therefore, we shall discuss on how to create an email address using a Google account and using that email address to create a Facebook account and store data using the two accounts. What Do we Know A sizeable part of the world’s total population is familiar with the existence of email addresses and social sites. This population uses Google and Facebook for communication and data storage. In fact, the two entities have a stiff competition in terms of advertisement. Gmail is the most popular of the companies that provide email addresses. People use Gmail addresses for both informal and formal communications. Business transactions and other crucial communications can be done using them. On the other hand, Facebook is the most famous social site. A population of about eight hundred million people is using Facebook as a way of co
