Overview of IBM WebSphere Model WebSphere is the connecting software for resources integration and designing of service-oriented infrastructure. This term is, as a rule, used to refer to a specific product of IBM Company (IBM WebSphere Application Server). WebSphere refers to the category of middleware which is intermediate software allowing performance of electronic business applications at different platforms on the basis of Web technology. “IBM WebSphere comprises a set of products with the goal to help developers deploying Web applications” (Hansmann, 2005). IBM WebSphere includes a wide range of products, such as, CICS Transaction Server, WebSphere Business Monitor, WebSphere Commerce, WebSphere Edge Server, WebSphere Portal, WebSphere Product Center, WebSphere Customer Center, and a number of other products which are necessary for conducting electronic business. “From a central console, systems administrators can configure, monitor, and manage business integration software across host and distributed platforms” (Spencer, 2004). Certain WebSphere products allow modeling of corporate business processes, connecting with the systems of customers and business partners, direct monitoring of business processes, applications integration, and management of effectiveness and optimization of business processes. Different application servers utilize Java Messaging Service (JMS) possessing the capabilities of messaging. “JMS and the additional messaging features of WebSphere 5.0 provide further evidence for the fact that the asynchronous and synchronous programming models are both required to build next generation applications” (Francis, High, Hernes, Knutson, Rochat, & Vignola, 2002). The application server is needed for giving these functions to the environments with incorrect infrastructures, as well as for those infrastructures which require a more tight integration and management which can be guaranteed by application server. WebSphere application server consists of numerous server offerings possessing typical for them functions and capabilities. “This allows WebSphere Application Server to address a broad spectrum of solutions, ranging from the most rudimentary web application to transactional and scaleable e-business applications” (Francis et al., 2002). Advantages of WebSphere from an IT and business perspective One of the greatest advantages of using WebSphere from the IT perspective is a wide range of products of one and the same family. It is a common knowledge that products designed by one and the same company will perform better together than products from several manufacturers. WebSphere has a complex set of products which, if installed together, can ensure proper carrying out of business processes. From a business perspective, products offered by WebSphere allow conducting business operations on a high level ensuring at the same time reliable connection with business partners and consumers around the globe. One of WebSphere products, namely, WebSphere Process Server, can be helpful in operating business processes. This program complex serves for the support of solutions created on the basis of serv
Introduction The film was aptly titled happiness. The characters were in pursuit of happiness but many of them failed to achieve what they longed for. Ironically it was their desire to achieve the happiness that led them to do things that they would regret later in life. For some characters, the pursuit of happiness led them to a downward spiral; first they were emotionally hurt, then they destroy friendships and relationships and then eventually they end up all alone. This paper will focus on the link between happiness and deviant behavior. This is made possible by using the idea of Jon Frauley – that fictional reality can be used to study crime and deviancy. Aside from Frauley’s work, other theoretical frameworks will be used to understand deviant behavior. Fictional Reality Frauley made a valid point when he said that works of fiction such as those in film and literature can be used as a pedagogical tool. He believed that fictional reality can be used to enhance the capability of students in learning the intricacies of the criminal justice system and criminology in general (Frauley, year). The author explained that this is not only possible but it is also practical to do so because of two reasons:  1. Fieldwork is considered costly, time-consuming, and rife with possible ethical complications while fictional realities can be viewed and studied in the comfort of one home; and  2. The fictional reality can provide a “hands-on” approach while at the same time offering a web of relations that is both layered and complex (Frauley, year). Todd Solondz film, Happiness (1998) is a perfect example of what Frauley tried to describe when it comes to the use of well-crafted films that offer a multi-layered view of the world. In Happiness (1998) the complex web of relationships created by the characters in the movie was very much evident from beginning to end. The first phase was crucial because the character played by Philip Seymour Hoffman went to see his psychiatrist. He was unloading his problems to his psychiatrist named Bill but he had no idea that his confession partially influenced Bill to do something with his own set of problems. The patient and the psychiatrist went their separate way only to entangle themselves in a web of relationships that will ultimately link them together. Hoffman’s character was named Jimmy, an ordinary-looking employee. He was overweight, in his mid-thirties and had no self-confidence. Bill on the other hand was a successful psychiatrist who had a hidden secret – he wanted to have sex with little boys. It is ironic that both men could not find happiness in their lives. Jimmy was incapable of building relationships with the opposite sex. But there is actually nothing that can stop him from doing so. It was his low self-esteem that prevented him from being with someone with whom he can grow old with. Yet, Jimmy thinks that he is not good enough for these women. Bill went to his own psychia
Topic 1 Healthcare is an ever-evolving field with a continual need for innovation and improvement. Today, DNPs are moving beyond traditional leadership roles into broader and more senior executive-level positions. Nursing practice and research scholars can impact change by developing and implementing policies within the healthcare system, assuming leadership roles as researchers, educators, and administrators, designing and evaluating innovative patient care models. There are several ways in which a cadre of nursing practice and research scholars can translate evidence to change practice. In particular, intervention techniques available include audit, educational seminars, clinical guidelines, protocol, and leadership involvement (Curtis, Fry, Shaban, & Considine, 2016). It should be mentioned that before synthesizing knowledge as part of producing new tools, DNPs should ensure that it is founded on the best evidence. Also, DNPs should adapt evidence to the local context, assess possible barriers in using evidence, and evaluate outcomes after implementation of interventions. The given cadre is capable of leading innovation due to effective leadership skills, creative thinking skills, and the ability to act as the force for change. Nursing practice and research scholars can facilitate clinical innovation by educating others about it, disseminating the information, providing support to the innovation, and leading collaborative teams to spread clinical change. DNPs have skills to implement innovative changes and evaluate their outcomes by creating new knowledge, developing healthcare policies, practices, and educational strategies, and advancing healthcare information technologies. Speaking of ways to inspire others to embrace change in the workplace, several strategies can be implemented. The first one involves creating such an environment that could foster and encourage change and writing new guidelines and procedures to share them with the personnel. The second one is a communication strategy that implies a continuous sharing of the aim of the change with the staff, getting feedback and responding to it. Effective communication strategy also includes explaining the need for change and ensuring that workers have the required skills and knowledge to support it. Topic 2 The current nursing practice problem experienced in my workplace is the routine use of epidural block for pain relief in labor. This is considered to be a contributing factor for adverse birth outcomes, in particular, a cesarean section (Levett, Smith, Bensoussan, & Dahlen, 2016). Viewing this problem from several levels of analysis, such a micro-, meso-
Theodore Wieland’s sister, Clara and who is also the narrator of the novel describes their preoccupation with the death of her father. The narrator links this with the voice that Wieland begins to hear. Wieland wallows deeper into solitude that his dad suffered. He feels like he is torn between two voices: that of the deity and that of reason, with the later making him go mad. The staunch faith of Wieland drives him into irrational violence. Clara finds it hard and more so lacks the courage to describe the turbulent sensations of the man. At the beginning of the chapter, the narrator comes out as a flirtatious and a playful lady. Theodore and his wife Catherine live near the narrator. Theodore Wieland and her sister Clara settle in one family estate house with Clara occupying the ground floor. When they were having a chat regarding philosophy and religion, they were interrupted by a voice and the voice claims that a relative had died in Europe; though the voice is not their social equivalent, they later realize that it was a divine voice. After acquiring enough courage to go on narrating, she gives an illustration of a man with poor attitudes and untidily dressed who got her attention one afternoon. The striking part of the story happens when the same man comes to the narrator’s house, feeling thirsty he requests for a cup of water or milk. Judith, the house girl of the narrator refuses to give the man some water and the man instead requests to be given a cup so that he could go out and look for some water. Although she does not see the man, from the dialogue with the house girl, the voice looks familiar to her and there is a feeling that she has had experience with the voice. The narrator is moved by the courteous and humble nature of the man. There is an inspiration in the novel that is actualized through the mysterious voices. Though this voice is not explained in the novel, the voice that commands Wieland to slaughter his wife is a mysteries one. Pleyel, Theodore’s brother in-law had just returned from Europe but he also begins to hear similar voices. Carwin appears in the scene, though in a mysterious circumstance, his interpretation of the voice is that it is just caused by mimicry. At the course of their interaction, Clara falls in love with Pleyel which marks a beginning of a budding romance and she makes an undertaking to inform him about it. This plan is aborted when the narrator finds Carwin hiding in her closet; Carwin admits that he had been having an intention of raping her and confesses that the narrator is under supernatural protection. This story backfires when Pleyel accused her of having an affair with Carwin and disappears immediately without telling her the other side of the story. Wieland strolls outside, and abruptly the serene atmosphere is interrupted when he begins to hear a disembodied and an errand voice calling him and informing him that there is danger in his path, at first he thinks that the voice belongs to his wife Catherine but later realizes it is not when he returns to the house. After

Introduction Adored, respected, and coveted by customers and global organisations alike, Richard Branson’s Virgin brand symbolises one of the most captivating phenomena of the business environment in contemporary times. From its humble beginnings in the 1970s, Virgin has gone against all odds in the competitive business environment to create over 200 companies worldwide with interests in diverse products and services, including but not limited to planes, trains, finance, beverages, music, mobile phones, online gaming, cars, wine, publishing, resort clubs, and even bridal wear (Kotler & Keller 650). The present report uses a case study approach to analyse Virgin’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, establish its uniqueness in being a socially responsible and sustainable company, examine the pros and cons of its “green” message, as well as discuss important issues related to the company’s holistic marketing strategy. SWOT Analysis Strengths  1. Strong brand name – the Virgin name is the third most respected brand in Britain, not mentioning that the brand is well recognised in international business environments (Kotler & Keller 650) and has become a household name (Kets de Vries 9).  2. Stable and growing capital base – available literature demonstrates that the over 200 companies under the Virgin brand name had a combined revenue of over €11.5 billion (about $16.2 billion) in 2009 (Kotler & Keller 650), with projections demonstrat
The economy of Malaysia has experienced significant changes since the colonial days. These changes have been reflected in the country’s GDP. Before the country gained its independence from the British in the 1950sthe economy was oddly distributed with much of the economic activities concentrated on the western regions of the country. Most of the economic activates the include agriculture trading as well as rubber tapping. Tin mining was also a significant economic activity in colonial Malaysia. However, the colonial government wanted to improve the economic outlook and as such expanded the countries infrastructure to open up much of the country to economic exploitation. At independence about 40% of the countries GDP consisted of only three main activities; fishing, agriculture and forestry. The post colonial Malaysian government thus made several attempt to diversify the country economic activities and pay closer attention to the manufacturing industry which was poorly developed. Furthermore the government aimed at modernizing agriculture in efforts to boost output from this sector. These economic boosters have a direct effect on the country’s GDP with sharp fluctuations being recoded after independence. Malaysia has experienced dramatic economic growth since the 1970s due to the government’s
Introduction When considering philosophical and scientific foundations of research, the major focus is made on analyzing a social impact of information technology on society and economy. In this regard, theoretical and conceptual frameworks provide valid social and philosophical guidelines for an interpretive assessment of the social impact of ICT (O’Donnell and Henriksen, 2002, p. 92). Noting that information technologies correlate with social and business sciences, human beings are also involved in this sphere (Nwokah, Kiabel, and Briggs, 2009, p. 430). In this respect, the context of IT research is based on close interaction between information users and the information systems they are engaged with. Approach to Inquiry: Induction versus Deduction Ambiguity and confusion arises between induction and deduction when the argument is based on stressing probability, even if it is quite high, or on probability that is equated to certainty (Srinagesh, 2009, p. 185). Hence, deduction is more based on the analysis of consequences derived from a particular assumption whereas induction is based on the summary of explicit or probable facts that are just admitted, but not proved. In other words, deduction is based on existing certainties whereas induction postulates what may happen or what is possible. Type of Data: Numeric versus Narrative Data Taking into consideration qualitative and quantitative underpinning of research, the primary emphasis should be put on character and origins on the data itself, but not on the methods used to process information (Marczyk, DeMatteo, Festinger, 2010). In this respect, qualitative data presents a construct that can be received from a mere description of different variations and changes and evaluation of particular objects. Quantitative or numerical data analysis lies in measuring and rating attitudes based on summary statements. In other words, all observations and facts are quantified rather than described. Testing Hypotheses and Theories versus Generating Hypotheses and Building Theory Testing hypotheses implies the analysis of a null hypothesis and correlating it with an alternative hypothesis to denounce the null one (Marczyk, DeMatteo, Festinger, 2010). In contrast, the process of generating hypotheses often involves the identification of qualitative research methods and target groups as the basis for data analysis. Building appropriate research questions contributes to generating predictions and analyzing results ((Marczyk, DeMatteo, Festinger, 2010). It leads to the formulation of good and provoking hypotheses that are sufficient for creating concepts and building theories. Hence, hypothesis generation is the initial stage for building a research that logically ends with testing and evaluating plans and theories. Two Rationales for Using a Mixed Methods Approach The usage of a mixed method approach to research implies that qualitative and quantitative aspects will be engaged to study a particular question from both perspectives. Hence, the first rationale for using mixed methods approaches lies in the necessity of addressing se
Abstract This paper discusses and explores the following; the meaning and background of nationalism as a political and cultural force in the nineteenth century particularly in Europe, and the relation of music to nationalism exploring the works of Bedrich Smetana s great Czech music composer. Discussion Nationalism is a philosophy that is social, religious, cultural, or political in which citizens believe their primary loyalty is to their country or state. The philosophy of nationalism became the most effective political and cultural force movement used to rally citizens in the nineteenth century. The sense of nationalism in the nineteenth century rose out of the liberal requirements such as basing legitimate states on the power of people. In the 18th century, legitimate nations or states were predominantly based on imperialism, dynasty, and church (Cowell-Meyer, 2002).. In the 19th century, liberal thinking was a regenerative force that was dominant all over Europe. The sense of nationalism also emerged as a result of Romantic exaltations of traditional feelings and identity in the nineteenth century. This was particular shown in the explosive force of the power of nationalism. For instance, nationalism phenomenon was able to raise the level of people’s knowledge having a common language, soil, culture, traditions, history, and a shared human experience to seek political unity around an identity of what or who makes up the nation was aroused and made militant during the French Revolution period (Zetterberg, 1997). The 18th century experienced the beginning of the breakdown of society’s traditional loyalties to the church, and dynastic states or regions. This was particularly fueled by the French Revolution dogma which fashioned new loyalties that the supreme power of a nation rests with the people who are united in a common language, history, culture, tradition, and many other common aspects. Nationalism enabled people to develop the sense of pride, tradition and common purpose that came to characterize modern nationalism. However, nationalism as loyalty to one’s nation did not originate in the early 19th century. Ever since I memorial, men and women have been fighting, living, and dying for the sake of their respective nations or states. It was until the 19th century however, that these feelings and motivations changed and became far more intense and demanding than they had been. During this century, the focus of loyalty changed from dynastic self-interest to individual self interest as part of a greater collective consciousness (Baycroft, 2006). In 1882, a great French historian Ernest Renan posed the question ‘what is a nation.
