Design in relation to technology refers to the study involving the construction of man-made objects used to solve human needs. The devices designed must always meet the set scientific standards. The Li-Fi project is a design that was done by a group of Chinese scientists who succeeded to produce internet signals which were sent exclusively through light bulbs. The process of conducting the tests involved hooking up of computers to LED bulbs. Thus, they were able to connect to the web using light waves as a carrier instead of the usual radio frequencies as is the case with Wi-Fi. The scientists were able to prove that the designed project could transfer data at a rate of 150mbps. Furthermore, they made the LED lights to act as digital switches by using them to either connect to the internet or cut the connection. Hence, this technology has made it possible to pave way for LED bulbs to be retrofitted and turned into hotspot access points for broadband networks in both home and office networks (Designboom 2013). The internet is a resource used by each and every individual including the government, companies, institutions and enterprises. The technology is superb as it addresses the needs of most people in society. The internet is an asset for everyone whether young or old and in addition it is of utmost importance to all. The Li-Fi design is a very good piece of technology since it is cost effective and efficient. The cost of LED bulbs is extremely low as compared to the Wi-Fi adapters, access points and repeaters used for the usual broadband connections for both wide area networks and local area networks. The design is sustainable as LED bulbs are available in each and every country in the world. Acquiring LED bulbs will not be a problem in any region even in the third world countries. The Li-Fi project is a very viable project as it does not require a lot of technological expertise like Wi-Fi and the technology is simple and if understood can be implemented by an ordinary individual as long as they have basic knowledge of networking. The Li-Fi project is also a very innovative project as internet connection is a very dynamic field. This design meets the criteria that the field of internet connection requires because it is fast, cheap and very flexible. It also makes internet connection easily accessible to areas where there is no broadband coverage. The design
Introduction Recruitment of employees is a very crucial task for any organization. It is important to select the right person for the right job along with the need to see that vacancies are filled as and when they happen. In some jobs, the level of turnover is quite high and this creates a problem for the management to find the right candidate on time. Tanglewoods is a growing chain of department stores located across four regions namely Western Washington, Eastern Washington, Northern Oregon and Southern Oregon. This company is facing problems regarding the recruitment of store associates in all the four areas mentioned above. This is mainly because the turnover of associates is high as fifty percent per year. This report will feature a recruitment guide along with certain other suggestions which the company can adopt to lessen the current problem. Recruitment Guide  1. Identifying vacancies: This is the first step in the recruitment process. Companies should review their workforce and identify current and future vacancies that may arise. Current vacancies may arise when a staff member quits or is unable to perform his duties for any reason. Future vacancies may arise due to retirement, transfer, termination etc. As far as Tanglewoods is concerned, the recruitment of store assistants is an ongoing process. Hence identifying a vacancy is not very relevant. But the company should note possible future vacancies and plan accordingly.  2. Review: A review of the staffing plan, the budget, skills required and whether the job is permanent or temporary should be done. Moreover it should be ensured that the vacancy has been approved to be filled by the management. Here again, since the process is an ongoing one, most of these reviews will be a one time affair. Only when HR strategies change should another review be necessary. Approval of the management can be taken for granted.  3. Recruitment strategy: Effective recruitment methods or strategies should be identified. The company, at present, recruits through the media, referrals from current employees, kiosks, state job services and staffing agencies. A review of the advantages and disadvantages of each of these methods will be done later in this report. Internal staffing can also be an option whereby excess staff from some stores can be transferred.  4. Requisition form: It is the normal practice to send a formal request to the management by store managers for recruitment process to begin. All the details of the job and its requirement should be included in the report. In this
The event was a fashion presentation that was titled “Portfolio in Motion Uncut”. The event was held at Marymount University and it was a joint effort between sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The event’s main purpose is to showcase students’ designs on a recognizable platform. The students are in charge of planning the entire event including its production, execution, music, choreography, lighting, and styling. Other than the student’s input, the show also features designs from former students who have since formed their own companies. This year’s fashion presentation was themed around the Redskins football team and its main target was the growing demographic of women fans. The event was quite lively and expressive for the attendees. The mood of expectancy was evident in the room right from the start of the event. Just like in any other show, there were some notable stars at the event. The presence of Si-Jin Joo at the event was proving to be a crowd puller because she had previously won a fashion award. The event started in time and therefore the curiosity of the attendees was satisfied without delay. Several designers were expected to showcase their fashion creations. One aspect of the fashion presentation that stood out was the increase in the number of menswear designs. The similarity of some of the showcased designs also raised concerns among some attendees. For example both Maria Abu-Rahmeh and Si-Jin Joo showcased shoulder dresses that were almost similar except from their side manipulations. The lighting was friendly to both designers and models. The models were quite skilled although their emphasis was mostly on their catwalk skills. The venue of the event was already provided by the university’s administration. All the designers were chosen from a pool of creators using a jury’s vote. Organizers had to work on a fixed budget and strive to satisfy the needs of a fashion presentation that was to mimic a high-end fashion-show. The main cost constraints involved setting up the runway as this involved altering the university hall’s usual arrangement. The safety of the models was a priority because weak stages have caused runway accidents in the past. The event was not hard to market because it mostly involved previous invitees and partners. Strengths The event was quite a success and the entire program was covered without a hitch. Both the lighting and the music at the event were suitable for a high fashion event. The organizers also adhered to the set schedules although they took a longer time to conclude. Some of the designers who were at the event were highly profiled and this gave the event a higher stature. Weaknesses I felt that the runaway-catwalk model of presentation prevented the attendees from seeing the dresses much better. The catwalk is usually progressive and fast and it makes it harde
The societal conflict is, perhaps, one of the most poignant aspects of Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. Shedding light on the human nature, as well as on the specifics of interactions between the members of the Victorian society, the book offers an exhaustive description of the problems that the lack of clarity in the social and class relationships creates. Although Wuthering Heights was not the first novel that brought the impact of social and class ambiguity on the specifics of interpersonal relationships to the public’s attention, Emily Bronte clearly offered a new outlook on the problem. Wuthering Heights addresses the issues of social and class ambiguity by not merely incorporating the problems into its plot but making them a part of the very fabric of the narration. Specifically, the relationships between Cathy and Heathcliff should be considered a prime example of the great divide between the representatives of different social strata. The dilemmas of the communication between the members of different classes and social strata become the most evident in the conflicts that are related directly to the relationships between the characters in the Wuthering Heights . Making the most obvious example, one must mention the relationships between Cathy and Heathcliff starting from the point at which she decides to decline Heathcliff’ proposal and marry Edgar:” I’ve no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldn’t have thought of it” (Bronte “Chapter 9”). The lead character states directly that these are not the personal issues but the social and the class-related ones that set her and Edgar apart. The scene mentioned above, though being rather short, sheds a lot of light on the tragedy of the social and class ambiguity. The fact that Cathy dismissed the idea of marrying Heathcliff for the sake of a more promising marriage with Linton coupled with her bitter realization of her loss shows that there are no clear characteristics for either of the social strata represented in the novel. In fact, the scene in which the understanding of Cathy’s mistake hits her becomes the point at which the social and class ambiguity peaks in the novel (Sahin 587). The development that Heathcliff undergoes, however, cannot be deemed as one-dimensional, either. More to the pit, the very character can be described as a graphic representation of the vagueness in the differences between the social and the class-related levels in the society. Indeed, a closer look at the transformation that the character undergoes will show that, from a sweet, innocent, and noble yet poor man, he turns into a social idol whose manners and demeanour leave much to be desired. Heathcliff commits terrible things to exert his revenge upon Cathy; furthermore, he makes his wife, an innocent person, who had nothing to do with their conflict, to begin with, suffer. Differently put, the shift from
Introduction Jonathan Edwards, a famous American theologian, preacher, and philosopher described his attitude towards Puritan beliefs and idealism in his personal narrative. His ideas influenced the development of the entire religion in the United States of America. The following paper will discuss and cover Jonathan Edwards’ autobiography and significant beliefs that changed American history. Jonathan Edwards’ Belief Jonathan Edwards was promoting the belief of Puritanism and idealism among a certain group of Christians and colonists in the New World of America in general. His main idea was to make people realize that their lives were full of sins. Therefore, he was sticking to his living standards and ideas in order to become a living example of an appropriate Christian’s behavior, which he wanted other colonists to adopt as well (Baym 340). The lifestyle and belief above led to multiple conflicts, tensions, and concerns among the American colonists because people were seeking a higher life quality, whereas their spiritual needs were not addressed as much. Evidence and Consequences of Edwards’ Belief The main ideology of Puritan Christians stems from emphasizing God’s sovereignty and righteousness, which also protested the standards of the Catholic Church because the latter one professed that the priest was holier and more spiritual than other believers were. “A true and faithful Christian does not make holy living an accidental thing. It is his great concern. As the business of the soldier is to fight, so the business of the Christian is to be like Christ” (Baym 365). The quote above explains and gives a clear understanding of Edwards’ attitude towards his belief, faith, and philosophy of how all Christians should act. “It is not by telling people about oursel
Background Under the current conditions, Sri Lanka remains to be a developing country with rather small income; stile, its citizens are eager to promote the development of the nation by a variety of means, and the idea of wind energy is not a new aspect that needs recognition. Chandrasena et al. (2006, p. 221) say that electricity has been always one of the main components of socio-economic development of the country, and the connection between Gross Domestic Product and the consumption of electricity continues playing an important role in society. The investigations of Chandrasena et al. (2006, p. 221) show that the end of the year 2004 was rather productive and the wind power capacity has increased to 47.3 GW on the global level. Much attention is paid to the development of wind energy in large cities in order to help people save their money and spend them on other important items; this is why the development of wind energy in rural areas of Sri Lanka does not undergo some changes and improvements (Balakrishnan 2006). The citizens of Shikalabuna are shot of the possibility to implement the required wind turbines and get a chance to pay less using the natural source available. In Pakistan, wind energy has been already used for about 300 years (Mirza et al. 2007, p. 2182). Thought the vast majority of time wind power aimed at providing some mechanical power in order to grind grain or other agricultural activities, the technological progress promotes wind energy as one of the most beneficial and effective resources of alternative energy. Project Description Overview For a long period of time, electricity has been a crucial utility in many people’s lives. Taking into consideration the issue of globalisation, people of Shikalabuna change their lifestyles and regard the improvements of the technological facilities, and the use of electricity becomes an ordinary thing that is required 24/7 (“Electricity from Wind”). At the beginning of 1999, the idea to use energy from wind was implemented in society. People are free to choose the best technologies they are in need of, and Sri Lanka’s government is ready to provide people with the necessary choice. Implementation Mercy Corps is the community that is able to coordinate several local manufacturers to promote the necessary improvements in the village. Shikalabuna is rich in a number of natural sources such as sun, wind, animal waste, water streams, etc., this is why it is not a surprise to observe the citizens of Sri Lanka being able to use their natural richness in order to improve their lives and promote appropriate working conditions. It seems to be an easy task for manufacturers to find an appropriate place where wind turbines may be installed. If some unsafe background is observed on the land, it is necessary to strengthen the ground to be sure the quality of turbines is high. Technology In Shikalabuna, small wind systems will be elaborated as it is the pilot attempt to use wind energy as the main source and not all citizens are ready to participate in the chosen experiment. 10 houses are used in the project, and 10m tall and 250W wind tu
International Trade The history of Argentina in the international trade relations in the 20th Century is highly critical. Across the board, it has experienced downfalls and developments from the implicit thresholds propagated by international trade. The international trade has been though various economic integrations with other countries on both bilateral and multilateral scales. Various trade relationships have left the country in a state of various economic states some of which are imbalance of payments due to high imports than exports, high external borrowing to refuge its low state of economic situation in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Either, various trade relations have also provided tools for various economic relations with the global trade partners both on the positive and negative image. The foundation of Argentina has its roots in the year 1516. The country, however, experienced a slow growth rate in its early ages under the colony of Spain. Various economic situations and political scenarios describe the state within the 20th century. The political system can be described as being highly volatile and experiencing various dimensional changes since then. Either, great economic exploitation went in the 20th century to mark various historical regimes in economic activity. However, in all its economic dispensations, international trade had been highly attributable in describing the current situation of the country. Economic integration and international trade have provided it with an exploration of the global economic phenomenon with various impacts both of positive and negative capacities. The Economic activity within the country was provided by its foreign trade activity. This is mainly the MERCOSUR partnership. The percentage contribution of its GDP by foreign exchange was around 11% in 1990. Through the development of international trade structures, the same grew up to 17% in 1999. The exports provide 7% of its GDP. The high increase in economic growth and development which has even lead to a reduction in the trade deficit (balance of payment) has been mainly through the effects of reduced tariffs above that of an imposed industrial activity within the domestic situation. For instance, the existing deficit of 5 billion US dollars in1998 reduced to 2.2 billion in the year 1999. Either an economic surge developed in 1999 when its exports reduced y 12% with imports falling by 19% on the other side. However, the largest trade deficit among its trade partners is the 2.4 US dollars owed to the United States. Towards the late 20th century, its main exporting partners included 24% for Brazil, 21% for the EU and 11% for the United States. Eithe
Introduction In today’s contemporary world adorned with multicultural societies, meeting the different needs of culturally diversified people becomes a problem. People have different needs and without proper systems put in place to address them, there will be underserved populations in the end. There is a need to study one’s socio-cultural background to establish how it affects one’s beliefs and behaviors concerning the needs being addressed (Carrillo, Green, and Betancourt, 1999, p.829). For, instance, to assure quality health to cross-cultural populations, physicians need to understand cultural influences towards one’s beliefs concerning health. By integrating these beliefs into modern medicine, physicians will address health problems more efficiently from a broad perspective. Fortunately, education stakeholders have developed cross-cultural curricula to deal with these issues. In society today, numerous underserved populations cannot have their issues addressed probably due to cultural settings and lack of proper systems to address them. For instance, some family members cannot get their sick loved ones to eat and they do not know how to do it. Some parents have issues with taking their children to primary care sites. Think of the Hispanic males who cannot access primary care and education. This paper deals with Denver Health Men’s Health Initiative on the Hispanic population that cannot access primary care and education among other basic needs. It seeks to elaborate on how these problems have evolved to levels that call for attention. It also addresses the impediments that stand in the way of teaching and solving the problems experienced by Hispanic males. Finally, this paper will offer proposals on how to improve the current situation and pinpoint the role of nurses in alleviating the situation. Fundamentally, Hispanic males cannot access primary care (Office of Women’s Health, 2007). Hispanic males are unable to acquire basic needs like primary care compared to their white counterparts but this is surmountable with proper planning and creating awareness. This problem is relevant to nursing as we move towards the provision of quality healthcare for all. Background of these Problems and their Evolution Historical perspective plays a crucial role in examining the health status of any population subset especially Hispanics in this context. Hispanics’ disparities in healthcare access date back to the migration era when thousands of them moved to the United States of America. A great number of U.S Hispanics share the American history of a healthy nation though some risk factors for particular diseases and low proclivity for others stands out (Duran, 1998, p. 184). Hispanics fundamentally migrated to America due to economic opportunities that existed in America, long before independence. Before 1995, the massive historical racial groupings between whites and Hispanics served only to conceal important information relevant to healthcare provision. There has been a lack of sufficient information about Hispanics due to a lack of demographic identifiers like census and medic
Introduction In the contemporary settings, globalization executes a significant role in changing different economies. Fundamentally, globalization facilitates the creation of an environment that is characterized by efficient networks that make the world appear as a village. Currently, China boasts as the largest manufacturing economy globally (Henderson, Appelbaum, and Ho 1224). The wave of globalization has influenced the Chinese economy considerably as denoted by the growth of the country’s industrial sector. Particularly, players in the manufacturing sector in China have expanded their operations in different countries, thereby leading to heightened competition in various sectors. The unprecedented growth of Chinese manufacturers, including Lenovo in the computers sector, and Huawei in the telecoms sector, among other players, has enhanced the country’s competitiveness of in the global markets (Cooke 1834). Additionally, the penetration of Chinese manufactories in the global settings has influenced the growth of the country’s economy considerably as portrayed by its growing Gross Domestic Product (GDP) over the last few years (Lai, Wong, and Lun 288). Nonetheless, the globalization of industries in China has negative implications, including the degradation of the environment. In this light, this paper examines the degree to which the globalization of Chinese manufactories contributes to the competitiveness of its industry players in the international markets. Further, the paper addresses the contribution of the globalization of Chinese manufactories towards the growth of the country’s economy. Finally, the paper also focuses on the negative implications of globalizing Chinese manufactories. The Globalization of Chinese Manufactories Over the last one and a half decades, Chinese manufactories have embraced the concept of globalization significantly. Currently, industrial players in the Chinese economy join foreign markets for several reasons. Notably, the need to foster the integration of technology has been one of the major factors that contribute to the growth of their competitiveness. The operation of Chinese companies in foreign markets has been characterized by the search for advanced technology, as well as managerial expertise (Cooke 1837). The embracement of technological advancements and management talent in the Chinese manufactories has been one of the essential factors that players in the country regard as influencers of competitiveness. Furthermore, the globalization of Chinese manufactories is shaped by the development of global brands that seek to appeal to customers in overseas companies (Cooke 1836). Therefore, the aspects of technology, management, and brand acquisition have been integral in fostering the globalization of Chinese manufactories. As such
