Introduction Massive outsourcing will develop into increasingly significant. Governments more often than not outsource since they believe they will save cash since they want to get the administration out of an exacting business or since they want to construct new manufacturing in the confidential division. The English-speaking states have the majority outsourcing knowledge, guided by the United Kingdom. Dating back to the near the start days of previous Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s occupancy in the 1980s, the United Kingdom has outsourced to “obtain the administration absent of that commerce.” Outsourcing deliberations often lead to the idea of “inherently lawmaking” purposed, the plan that convinced purposed must be performed within administrations. Some bureaucrats consider that location strategy, writing system, and drama some lawful purposes are instances of inherently lawmaking functions. However, others close that present are very a small figure of purpose that must be executed inside an administration. For instance, the United Kingdom outsourced tax-processing processes to the confidential division; in the United States, a lot of think that duty dispensation is an intrinsical lawmaking purpose. Outsourcing to Poland This investigation is bottomed on a review of the 250 largest corporations in Poland and personal meetings with more than a few of the respondents. We also used information from Accenture’s outsourcing psychoanalysis: „Driving High Presentation: Best Perform from the Masters” 2005, in arrange to contrast Poland’s outsourcing advertise to other fractions of the world. The outsourcing practices of big Polish corporations are very comparable to the lives out worldwide. The supposition that this advertising is dissimilar or that Poland has exclusive necessities is not verified by our study (Bruno, G.S.F., 2004). Finance and secretarial will be the after that large wave of outsourcing action in Poland with 41% of great companies preparation to subcontract all or fraction of these commerce procedures. This has insinuations for outsourcing contributors as well as for input capitals in Poland. Cities previously winning in draws outsourcing centers can wait for the continued growth of obtainable centers and a number of fresh ones in the prospect. For areas in Poland with an inferior possibility of draws money and outsourcing centers, additional service losses are probable. Most Polish decision-makings are outsourcing also to a company’s SSC in Poland (56%) or near-shoring in Poland (53%). In a lot of of this luggage, they have been winning in persuasive their international business that Poland is the most excellent position for an SS
Introduction The day-to-day cases of sex issues cropping up in young boys and girls has led to the introduction of sex education in schools. For instance, a case was reported of a 10-year-old girl who was impregnated by a 10-year-old boy. The parents of both kids sought ways of handling the matter secretly. However, one question stood out. As the incidence depicts the degree of moral decadence among the youngsters, a case that once neglected would blur their future, there was the need to know the criterion that people could employ to curb the matter before it worsened. This marked the dawn of sex education that sought to capture the attention of kids from the aged 10 years. Sex education, alternatively referred to as sexuality education, aims at reducing potential risks especially to young people associated with unbecoming sexual behaviors. According to Sex Information and Education Council of the US, as revealed by Kippax Grunseit, sexuality education is “a lifelong process of building a strong foundation for sexual health through acquiring information and forming attitudes, beliefs and values about identity, relationships and intimacy” (421). Sexuality education takes place in not only schools, but also homes, media and faith-based educational institutions such as churches and mosques amongst others. Additionally, sex education, particularly in the US, should “entail a long-term change in the way discourses on the sexuality of youth are framed in the USA” (Gresle-Favier 413). Therefore, based on the sensitivity of the subject as the paper unveils, schools need to increase sex education endeavors as early as ten years of age in an attempt to reduce the number of pregnancies among youngsters. The appropriate age for sex education Is it necessary to start sex education at an early age? It sounds rather crazy to introducing a boy of five to subject of sex. An unsound-minded person might argue that, the earlier the boy knows the subject, the earlier he applies the knowledge gained in class to the real-life situation. Is this not a crazy view? However, this is not the case. The US has received the issues surrounding the necessity of increasing sex education in schools at an early age with multifold responses. While appreciating the view that it might lead to many youngsters engaging in sexual activities experimentations, the benefits arising from sex education out power this argument. In this regard, the US education needs to advocate for a “vision of abstinence as the expected norm for youth and of the ‘promiscuous’ teen as a threat to the social, economic and moral fabric of the nation” (Gresle-Favier 416). Any additional knowledge about sexuality goes into building more knowledge on top of the existing one. Conducting sex education to young people as early as ag
In 2005 the Hurricane Katrina smashed in Louisiana and moved northeast to the state of Mississippi resulting in a serious life loss and destruction to property causing fuel and electricity shortage (Sandhyarani, 2009). The hurricane, apart from causing life loss, did also affect a number of people who were being reported to have suffered post-traumatic stress disorder. Moreover, some patients were reported to have suffered depression or an anxiety disorder (Tull, 2009). Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition characterized by intense fear, helplessness, or horror as a consequence of exposure to a traumatizing experience (Long, 1995). The symptoms of PTSD include a persistent recall or experiencing the event, constantly avoiding the stimuli associated with the trauma, numbing of general responsiveness, and persistent symptoms of increased autonomic arousal (Long, 1995). The disorder normally occurs with other disorders such as substance-related disorders, panic disorder, agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, specific phobia, bipolar phobia, and major depressive disorder (Long,1995). These disorders have been shown to either precede, follow or concurrently occur with post-traumatic stress disorder. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder normally begins to show signs after three months after the trauma. It can take between three months to twelve months to completely clear off but research has shown that at times, it may reoccur if the victims get exposed to reminders of the trauma, stressing issues, or even to new traumatizing events (Long,1995). The likelihood of developing the disorder depends on the level of severity of the trauma, exposure, duration, and the proximity of the individual to the trauma. After a traumatizing experience, there are people who are unable to forget about the experience and move on, and instead, they build their lives around the experience. They will then start developing symptoms of avoidance and hyperarousal that are associated with PTSD (Van der Kolk, McFarlane, and Weisaeth, 1996, p 6). Research has actually shown that it is not really the traumatic event that causes PTSD but the constant intrusive and distressing recollection of the event that really causes PTSD in the victims (Van der Kolk, McFarlane, and Weisaeth, 1996, p 6). Studies have also shown that even though people who suffer from PTSD normally have occupational and interpersonal problems. However, the degree to which PTSD affects them varies greatly from one individual to the other. Medical personnel for a long time associated the causes of PTSD with the predisposing factors while ignoring the reality of the victim’s experience as a potential cause of PTSD. Studies have now shown that the reality of the experience does actually result in PTSD; according to van der Kolk, McFarlane & Weisaethto (1996, p 6), the critical elements that make an event traumatic is not really the event itself but the constant subjective assessment of t
A student from the Arizona state university was barred from the university following allegations of sexual harassment. However, the Arizona state university latter reinstated him. He was then accused of sexually abusing the plaintiff in J.K. v. Arizona Board of Regents. The plaintiff sued ASU for contravening her Title IX rights. At the beginning of 2009, a court settlement instructed ASU to compensate the plaintiff with $850,000 dollars and recruit a student safety coordinator to restructure the university’s policy on sexual abuse and assault (Munson, 2009). Darnel Henderson, a member of the ASU football team, was allegedly accused of threatening, physically holding, and harassing several female students at a pre-freshman alteration program. He was also reported to have exposed himself to a member of the staff indecently. He was subsequently expelled by the ASU board due to his actions. However, following a protest from the ASU football team coach, Henderson was later reinstated at ASU under a zero-tolerance program. He was allowed to reside in the freshman hostels (American Civil Rightd Liberties Union (a), n.d.). During spring, Henderson sneaked into the residence of a female student at the university and was reported to have sexually assaulted her. From the findings of an investigation carried out by the university, Henderson was found guilty and subsequently expelled from the school for the second time. After his expulsion, it became vivid that Henderson would not be able to pay damages and the plaintiff’s lawyer opted to sue the university board. In early 2008, various advocacy societies were enjoined in the case. They filed a brief to the court arguing that ASU was legally liable under Title IX for the sexual assault and discrimination experienced by the plaintiff. In this case, ASU was aware that the player in question had been previously reported for several accounts of sexual harassment against female students and staff
Executive Summary Mass Online Open Courses (MOOCs) present a vital opportunity for universities to offer free online courses on essential challenges and development areas. UMUC delegated the mandate of assessing the feasibility of venturing into MOOCs to a taskforce. The following report represents the proposal of the Taskforce on the Implementation of MOOCs on Climate Change. Introductory remarks and background information establish the origin of the project to implement climate change MOOCs at UMUC. The relevance of the discipline of climate change develops through distinct sections in the proposal, detailing on practical climate change interventions. A highlight of the modules intended for the provision in the courses builds on the relevance and practicality of the proposed MOOCs. To achieve an informative conclusion, the report adopts the cost-benefits approach to present the case of adoption for the proposed model. The inclusion of distinct recommendations emphasizes the need for an urgent implementation of the project. Introduction Mass Open Online Courses (MOOCs) provide a rare opportunity for the global community to contribute to academic development, with an aim of tackling common global challenges. The relevance of the expanded scope of the classroom originates from the ability to tackle the challenges brought about by globalization. As a global village, solutions emerge from handling challenges with a unified global perspective in order to capture varied needs of every global community. International barriers to interaction, notably information and communication continue to decline thanks to technological advancements. In proportion to standardized practices across the global community, sharing of information proves as an unavoidable action. Among the most remarkable contributions in devising innovative ways to support global challenges, education ranks top on the list. Despite the differences in sociocultural and political characteristics, the global community finds education as a vital unification factor. Seemingly, a global perspective to bring many students to academic cooperation offers an invaluable opportunity to tackle pressing global issues. The spread of industrialization as a component of globalization avails a number of challenges that require a broader concept of academic contribution. Among the current chronic industrialization challenges facing the world, climate change poses astronomical risks to both life and property. In adopting the proposed MOOCs, UMUC provides learners with a platform to contribute solutions suitable at various levels of intervention. MOOCs avail an ingenious channel for dissemination of information across the world, making gains in supporting the global culture. This proposal tackles the suitability of MOOCs to UMUC as relevant elements of change in tackling climate change. In this proposal, the adopted scope considers the introduction of interventions at both industrial and household levels. Background Information MOOCs continue to provide elite international universities with an opportunity to provide free lectures on vital disciplin
The topic of investigation in this research paper is a video game called Dota 2. In basic terms, Dota 2 is one of the most popular video games worldwide with 7.6 million regular players monthly (Clement, 2021). The main peculiarity of this game is the opportunity to extensively communicate with teammates through voice and text chat. Therefore, it is easy for every player to identify the gender of someone who speaks throughout the game. The research question of this research is “what are the differences in the perception of men and women by the Dota 2 community in the US?”. In the scholarship, there was a tendency to analyze the other side of the problem – the sexism and gender biases of some video games. For example, Gestos et al. (2018) came to the conclusion that the representation of women in video games results in female self-objectification and negative body image. In my research, the focus is changed from ‘supply-side’ to ‘demand-side’. The paper’s central hypothesis can be that the male community will be more loyal to the female users and their playstyle or use sexist vocabulary against them. It fits the theoretical framework of Paul (2018), who believes that the gaming community is overwhelmingly toxic and not inclusive. As for the methods, the most applicable methods are interviews, observation, and experiment. I can conduct several informal interviews with female gamers about their experience of playing Dota 2. I can also explore Dota 2 community and formulate the general picture of its features. Finally, social media and forums are full of women’s stories concerning their time spent on gaming in Dota 2. All in all, the methods can be combined to make the research more diverse.
Introduction Educators and other educational staff are facing increasing challenges of planning and employing efficient education programs for all the students including those with mental problems like autism. Recent research has presented excellent materials that have been collected by teachers and other supporters of children with autism, together with their families. Because of the amount of information available on this, teachers can be able to develop teaching program for individual students based on the needs. However, there are some key ideas and methods of supporting such students that need understanding by teachers, other supporters and family of such students. Students suffering from autism are not able to learn easily and in the same manner as their normal peers and as such, they require support to help them succeed. This support may come in the form of modification of the curriculum to cater for the special needs of the autistic children. Saudi Arabia has developed special schools with curricula that are designed to help these students who have special needs for them to learn. The teachers are specially trained for this job. Definition of Autism Information about autism is very important for teachers and other educational supporters and this will be the basis on which teaching methods and other support services will be devised (American Psychiatric Association 2010, para. 3). Instructors and education supporters will benefit by understanding the definition, description of its characteristics and the repercussions for teaching. They will also understand strategies for effective teaching and management of autistic students. Autism is described as a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and this condition has a number of characteristics that are define it (American Psychiatric Association 2010, para. 3). They include, impaired communication, poor social interaction and behaviour and restricted, recurring and stereotypic behavioural patterns of conduct and activities. Autism is hence a complex disorder of the neurological function of the brain and it is essentially as medical condition rated on a spectrum (Al-Ayadhi 2008, p. 192). Its symptoms therefore range on a continuum of combination being described as mild to severe (Roth 2011, p. 18). For instance, a patient can suffer intellectual disability while another patient may have normal intelligence development. There could be a number of hardships in the expansive and receptive language communication and it’s estimated that about half of the autistic individuals fail to develop functional speech (Roth 2011, p. 18). However, for those who do, their speech is usually with inadequate communicative function and of very pitiable quality. Autism is not a curable condition and it’s a life-long development disorder that a person has to cope with (Al-Ayadhi 2008, p. 192). The individual will always fail to easily understand what she/he sees, hears or otherwise sense by other senses. This is what aggravates the social relationships, conduct and communication problems. Even though it’s known that people with autism face serious difficulties when it comes to soc
The ability to create, modify, store, send, and link digitalized information is the most notable invention of the twentieth century. This phenomenon is widespread in all spheres of life around the globe. The continuing proliferation of information technologies and services has presented many legal, social, and ethical issues. These issues are the subject of discussion among government officials, academics, and others. This essay examines the contemporary issues that are facing multimedia and information technology in the modern world. Since the early 1960’s, Information Revolution has been the buzz word. The world has been experiencing, at an accelerating pace, an unprecedented Third Wave-fast forward movement. The Information Revolution is characterized by information becoming the central and most significant commodity. An interesting offshoot of the Information Revolution is Information of Society, on the one hand, and the commoditization of information on the other. The significance of dawn of Information Revolution is underlined by the number of information-related terms it has risen. These include, but not limited to, ‘Information Society’, ‘Information Technology’, ‘Informatics’, and ‘Informatization’. Information has become a catalyst for economic development, and a key resource for literacy, education, and social development. An Information Society is a society characterized by abundant information in terms of both stock and flow, quick and efficient distribution and transformation of information, and easy and inexpensive access to information for all members of society. The primary role of the workforce in Information Society is in the areas of information production, processing and distribution . The Information Age has brought with it a myriad of issues proportionate to the number of contributions it has made to society. As such, discussing all the contemporary issues brought by multimedia and Information may take more than the limitation of this paper. Consequently, the scope of this paper will be limited to an overview of a number of legal, social, and ethical issues in the Information Age. These include privacy, intellectual property, and computer crime. With the vast amounts of data and software available in the modern world of technology, individuals or companies are prone to theft of intellectual property. This crime consists of violation of copyrights, patents, trade secrets, or the terms of license agreements. It also entails unauthorized duplication of materials. This latter phenomenon is common in academics, whereby people might be tempted to reproduce other people’s works, views or invention as their own working for commercial or scholarly purposes.

Introduction This study aims at creating awareness on the lethality of diabetes by ensuring that the necessary information about this disease is available to the public. However, in order to achieve this, the study will seek to provide answers to questions about the causes, susceptibility, and preventive measures for diabetes. Research Questions  1. What is the level of diabetes awareness among the public?  2. What are the common causes of diabetes?  3. Does diabetes have any cure or is it preventable? Hypothesis to be tested   * H1: Many people are aware of diabetes, its susceptibility, causes, and preventive measures.   * H2: Many people are not aware of diabetes, its susceptibility, causes, and preventive measures. Problem and Purpose Even though many people have heard of diabetes, only a few are aware of its causes, preventive measures, as well as what category of people is likely to suffer from diabetes (Shaw, Sicree & Zimmet, 2010). This study, therefore, will offer an insight into the causes, susceptibility, as well as the preventive measures of diabetes. The study will also get quantitative data that relate to the causes from databases in the respective regions in United States of America. This will be supplemented by interviewing nurses and administrators on the overall subject of diabetes. The research will be comprehensive and will combine two study designs including descriptive and cross-sectional study designs. Population and Sample In any study, the target population is used to point to the elements for which the study is interested. The number of registered public hospitals in USA is 5686. These targeted people/units will be identified from the sampled hospitals. Furthermore, the study will seek to interview the stakeholders involved in the treatment and prevention of diabetes. These include the nurse, hospital administrators, and hospital district heads. Sampling Design A sample is a subsection of the target population. To arrive at a sample size, proper sampling techniques should be applied. Sample Frame The sampling frame for this study was the public hospitals. A sample is usually drawn from the target population. Sampling frame represents the working population that is to be utilized in the study. According to Denzin and Lincoln (2008) if a sample frame is taken correctly it will lead to a sample is representative of the whole population. Sampling Techniques The study will use simple random sampling procedure. According to Mitchel and Jolly (2010) simple random sampling is very useful in getting a representative sample from a large sample group. In addition, simple random sampling technique is free from human bias and avoids classification er
