The role of government in influencing the macroeconomic sphere of the economy is one that cannot be understated. Fiscal policy denotes the concept of government putting in place measures for stimulating the economy. This is, for example, through more public spending and the reduction of the government lending rates. The article by Krugman (2014), talks about the need for more stringent fiscal policies to combat the lingering effects of the economic crisis. In the view of Krugman, the current policies and measures in place by the state that are geared towards positively influencing the micro-economy are not sufficient in this respect. The writer identifies the cause of timidity on the part of the state. According to his view, this resulted from the fact that the requisite fiscal policies that are required to combat runaway unemployment would cause high levels of inflation. These inflation levels would be difficult to combat (Krugman, 2014). For the above reason, therefore, the Obama administration has set in place fiscal policies to combat the worrying state of the economy, and in particular the state of unemployment. However, these measures have been half-hearted arising from the timidity that has been described above. As already stated above, the government has a mandate to ensure and to intervene in the performance of the macro-economy, for purposes of ensuring that it remains stable and on track. This mandate is increasingly required during times of economic distress. One such example is the one the world, including the United States, is currently coming out of. For this mandate to be effective, the requisite action should be one that properly and effectively tackles effects of the economic crisis that are negative (Brahmbhatt & Canuto, 2012). A half-hearted response would only bring about half-hearted gains. One measure by the government to ensure that equilibrium in the macro-economy is achieved is through increased government spending within the economy. The reduction of government interest rates, as well as the provision of the stimulus to private companies, is also utilized. The outcome and effect of this particular intervention are the stimulations of economic activity that would then offset the detrimental effects such as unemployment. However, there may also accrue negative effects on the economy that arises from such governmental action. One of the foremost negative effects of such fiscal policy is that the influx of government-induced money leads to increase in inflation. It is these competing positive and negative effects of fiscal policy that the article by Krugman alludes to (Brahmbhatt & Canuto, 2012). In the view of this paper, fiscal policy put in place by government, especially during economic crises, is an important aspect for purposes of the survival of the economy. While a laissez-faire view of an economy is fundamental and prominent in an economy such as the American economy and market, there are instances when government intervention is required. This particular instance, in my view, should be taken as one of those instances. While I agree with the opp
Introduction Edentulism helps dentists create a high-quality function of dentures and ensure patients the reliability of this mechanism. Using the method, the orthodontist’s percentage of the guarantee significantly increases, and the approach to creating a connection between prosthesis and implant becomes more successful. The advanced form of edentulism ensures dentists will have an easy installation and removal process as mechanisms consist of strong metallic parts and plastic retainers. Some attachments make the connection of the implant better and more protected. Patients can choose two types of attachments, and the main difference is the exploitation period. Patients’ preferences always differ, and professionals admit that both constructions are reliable. Main body By using a computer randomizer, experts decided to analyze two types of attachments and how they affect human lives. All needed information was collected at the beginning of wearing these mechanisms and, in the end, when a new installation had to take place. Patients were asked to eat different carrots, bread, and beacon products. The ability to chew these products was assessed by specific criteria, which had a 100 mm VAS questionnaire (Ferreira de Albuquerque et al ., 2018). There were two research methods used in the study, called descriptive bivariate. Time limit became one of the main aspects that were under the control of these research methods. The expert managed to detect specific effects of attachments on individuals in a particular period. Also, researchers tried to find out how implants and their additional components affect a person’s stability and confidence. The results made the research clearer, and further innovations started to be developed based on these unique facts. According to Ferreira de Albuquerque et al . (2018, p. 3), all participants took part in the experiment from the beginning until the end. It became one of the most significant aspects of the research. However, after the treatment, one of the patients stopped visiting dentists for further analysis. Even though the VAS rating for the RA attachments was higher than for the LA ones, the general performance of the implant mechanisms is significant. Researchers stated that patients could easily rely on both attachment systems. The stability of implants also differs by the type of attachment, and participants mentioned it. For instance, LA feels stable up to 3 months, while RA can be unchanging for 12 months. The research results demonstrated different conclusions for the lower and upper jaws. While there was a significant difference in the durability of the implant and attachment mechanisms for the upper jaw, experts mentioned the opposite result could be directed to the lower jaw. Not many changes were mentioned regarding the lower part of the mouth, and it cannot be deeply analyzed compared to the upper part. However, researchers managed to gain all information to give credible and reliable information conc
It goes without saying that the art of dance is an integral element of people’s culture. Indeed, while the rest of forms of artistic expressions are rather stable, dance is something that miraculously shape-shifts every single moment, creating a chain of ideas and images that fall into their places in the course of the performance. Two of the most innovative dance groups in the present-day world of dancing, Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal and Zero in On are well worth being considered as peculiar specimens of the way dance can convey messages to the audience without a single word spoken. Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal exists owing to a number of people, each of whom plays an important role in its mechanism. With the help of its artistic director, Louis Robitaille, the group makes a unique impression on the audience with the costume designs and the settings. Meanwhile, Gayetano Soto is responsible for the choreography. In its turn, Zero in On owes its magical choreography to Wei Wei Wang, whose Oriental vision of the world allows to interpret the most original ideas in an innovative way, quite unusual for the western public. Christina Bodie and Antonios Bourgiouris, the dancers, have had enough experience to convey the most subtle messages to the audience with the help of their elaborate movements and sophisticated manner of dancing. Modern dances are, all about breaking the rules. Making the classic merge with the modern and enthralling the audience with fantastic movements that are much more eloquent than words and filled with hidden innuendoes, modern dances offer the viewers a whole lot of new impressions. For instance, the dance performed by Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal was an experience which is really hard to forget. To start with, the minimalism of decorations and accessories that was used in the performance allowed to focus on the dancers and their movements. The outfits which the dancers had on were also quite striking and added of the atmosphere. Wearing skin-tight suits that made the dancers look much like as if they were in their birthday suits. Filling the dance with a specific meaning, the performers have managed to tell a story without saying a single word, the dance movements being their only way of conveying a certain message. The dance, with the key emphasis on the battle of the opposites, the light and the dark, is worth more than a million words. As for the second performance, it was just as provocative and impressive as the previous one. However, it seemed that in the case of Zero in On , the message is not as big as in Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal . While in the latter, the battle of the opposites was viewed from almost every single perspective, starting with the color palette (back and white) and up to the difference between the feminine and the masculine, in Zero in On , the focus is mostly on the relationships between a man and a woman. However, even though the meaning of Zero in On seems a little less wide than the one of Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal , both dances are still worth watching and admiring, for they offer not only ae
Introduction Hilton (10) says that Australian contractors have been engaged in carrying out projects in Emirates. However, there are many challenges that they face in this country in the process of carrying out their work. The contractors have also come up with ways to address such challenges so that they can be successful in their activities. In this paper, analysis of the factors that affect the Australian contractors have been done and more specifically in the Emirates. The emirate is a major city in The United Arabs Emirates. In the process of carrying out their business, the contractors are faced with many challenges in this country. However, they have to come up with appropriate strategies to cope with such challenges for their continued survival in this business. This project analyzed the different factors and their levels of influence. To achieve this data was collected from different sources and analyzed and the ranking of such factors was also done. From the ranking, conclusions have also been derived and appropriate remedy measures postulated. This project is important to contractors as they can use it to cope with such challenges or help them develop ways of improving against such issues. Considering these two countries are geographically apart it may seem like a challenge to such foreign. In addition, the two countries seem different in many aspects. From this project analysis, the main question that one will be able to answer is whether the contractors have successes or failures? Executive summary The paper looks into details the major challenges that Australian contractors face while undertaking construction projects in the Emirates. One of the major challenges notable is the economic disruptions as a result of the exaggeration of the business cycle. High-interest rates and economic fluctuations affect the direct cost of the materials of these contractors. Terrorism is noted as another challenge as well as the foreign policies regulating the foreigners working in this country. The region is known for insecurity issues and this is another key challenge. The global economic meltdown of the year 2008 is noted as another challenge facing these contractors. Operating environment in Emirates is a bit challenging to the contractors and this makes them takes sometimes before they familiarize themselves. Recruitment of the employees pose another key challenge to the contractors as well as the polit
A Too-perfect Picture The essay written by Teju Cole dwells on the controversial photos taken by Steve McCurry. One of the most notable pictures taken by McCurry in the photograph of a green-eyed Afghan girl. Another infamous McCurry’s photo set reflects the Indian culture and people. His photography is marked by some outstanding traits or features – big beautiful eyes, whitish irises, or the extras that make the picture look like it is one of a kind (Cole 1). The author of the essay claims that the pictures taken by McCurry are bewildering but rather boring at the same time. The majority of his photography looks like it has been staged. From what can be seen in McCurry’s photographs, it may be safe to say that he is most probably keen on exploring the cultures that are gradually disappearing from the face of the Earth (Cole 1). Even though his pictures look as if they were staged, in most cases he is appraised for the efforts made in an attempt to summarize a certain culture and present it to the viewers in a reasonable and enjoyable form. Cole believes that another photographer that is worth mentioning is Raghubir Singh. He is also known for his culturally-focused photography. His works have numerous parallels with the works of McCurry – colors that stand out, human presence, and the life that can be noticed even on still images (Cole 1). The eminence of Singh’s photographs is supported by the approach that he uses when taking pictures. The first and foremost factor is the content that is captured by Singh. His pictures are vivid, representative, and reflect real life. Second, Singh is acknowledged as an expert in composition. Numerous pictures taken by him showed his mastery of finding order and peace in the chaos of everyday life (Cole 2). Singh’s composition is a combination of coherence and pure skill of a professional photographer. As seen in his pictures, he always tries to find a perfect balance between a disturbing and exciting perspective while operating bright and vivid colors that attract the attention of the viewers. According to the author of the essay, Singh’s biggest accomplishment is that he evades compositional clichés and his photographs are aimed at provoking certain predictable responses (Cole 3). Moreover, it should be noted that his photography is marketable. As Cole also states, photography should not be short-lived. On the contrary, the key function of photography is to elicit emotions that would last longer than the photograph itself. Photographs of Agony In his essay, John Berger states that the war in Vietnam was one of the most influential transformations of the world (Berger 211). He explains the importance of correctly representing the information and states that there are not so many pictures of Vietnam in modern newspapers. Nonetheless, Berger pays particular attention to the photographs taken by Donald McCullin. One of the most infamous is the black and white picture of a man holdin
Museum building The Etihad museum is made up of 2 main site historical buildings, which are the union house and the guest house. The museum is the visitors pavilion, and the museum is underground. The visitor’s pavilion is designed by the Architects Moriyama Teshima. It combines minimalistic design with the hi-tech approach to create a unique architectural ensemble that will impress visitors to buy its beauty and unusual shapes. The museum looks at the time period of the unification of the United Arab Emirates. Types of halls and exhibits The Museum has many halls and will be discussed below. The visitor’s pavilion has upper temporary exhibits that have mainly artworks and photography exhibitions.   * Main exhibition area: The main exhibit area has many sections, such as founding fathers, falaj, the road to unification, and cubes area, which is interactive and other sections.   * Cinema screen: There are two cinema screens, one is a hologram screen, and the other one is a cinema screen.   * Auditorium hall: There is the main auditorium in the museum that hosts events such as talks.   * Temporary exhibition: the temporary exhibition hall exhibits other areas that link to the time period of the unification or that has a close link with the country. In this hall, the museum has two shows per year. Furthermore, there are eight pavilions devoted to different issues. Pavilion 1 demonstrates a documentary film about the UAE and its history. Pavilion 2 offers a unique panoramic map containing information about the area before the formation of the federation. The third pavilion shows visitors an interactive timeline with the key historical events before the appearance of the UAE. Pavilion 4 demonstrates an essential meeting between prominent persons of the UAE. Pavilion 5 suggests critical data related to the UAEs formation. Pavilion 6 outlines the basic challenges founders of the state had to overcome. Pavilion 7 is devoted to the UAE Constitution. Finally, the last area is a gallery that describes a new nation and its peculiarities. Collection system Etihad Museum is currently using an Emu cataloging system where they are able to add information for all of the collection they have from Digital photos, Videos, objects into one system that could be accessed by more than one user at a time. This system demonstrates the increased efficiency regarding the work with numerous objects that belong to this organization and their peculiarities. Additionally, the Emu cataloging system is characterized by enhanced stability, which is critical for the museum as it guarantees that no data will be lost. In the system, the museum team is able to include all types of information such as loan agreements and also condition reports for any object that is already in the system. They are also able to print reports on all the collections. They are also able to add locations of the object, whether they are either in any of the exhibition halls or in one of the storages. Another tool that the Emu cataloging system has is that the team could insert multimedia images for all of th
Patriarchal attitudes towards women managers Patriarchal attitudes towards female managers are characterized by the strict division of roles where women are confined to household activities and rearing children with no or minimal social activity (Mostafa, 2005). Although the country’s economy may develop at a high pace, women may still be confined to households in traditional societies (Emirates 24/7, 2012; NAMA Women Advancement Establishment, 2019). These attitudes are associated with a negative view of female managers who are regarded as individuals who go against the rules and behave in an inappropriate manner that may require rebuke or even punishment. Traditional attitude hypothesis and outcomes The traditional attitude hypothesis explains the shifts expected and taking place in the UAE due to the influence information has on people. New ideas and data penetrate society through diverse channels (mainly, the media) and gradually affect people’s views making them more open-minded. In terms of this model, the changing attitudes towards female managers among young generations are explained by their exposure to new ideas (Ismail, 2013). Gender gap hypothesis This hypothesis is related to the gap between parents and children. The latter tend to rebel against the former, but this framework is not typical of the Arab world where children live with their parents until they have their own families (Mostafa, 2005). Arab children are under their parents’ influence for a large part of their (or their entire) life. This paradigm leads to young generations’ focus on traditions supported by their older close ones, which makes young people have negative attitudes towards female managers. Mostafa (2005) notes that the gender gap has a different impact on people across the Arab world. Gender differences hypothesis According to Mostafa (2005), Arab males are less likely to have positive views concerning women managers, while Arab females have a positive perspective regarding the matter. This difference is associated with females’ acknowledgment of their professional potential and willingness to play active roles in society. However, males are not willing to share responsibilities, which leads to negative attitudes towards female managers (Gallant & Pounder, 2008). Nino Women Sexuality Equality The consequences of the sexual revolution include the creation of two images of freed women (Nino, 2005). On the one hand, these are businesswomen concentrated on their professional lives and sharing roles with men. On the other hand, these are the images of females concentrated on their sexuality and freedom of expression in the bedroom. Other results include women’s freedom to develop romantic relationships without getting married, be more assertive in sexual and romantic relationships, have a safer working environment. The myths regarding the differences between men and women are as follows:   * Men focus on achievements, while women concentrate on relationships.   * Men are rational problem solvers, and females are emotional.   * Females place a higher value on the family rather than a career. Nino (2005) states that
Introduction The masterpiece Patriotism by Mishima is an allegorical exposition of the circumstances leading to the death of a young man and his newly wed wife. To bring out the themes of the story, Mishima applies diverse elements of literature to achieve the same. Nevertheless, the use of imagery to underscore the theme of devotion comes out clearly, as the story unfolds. “Patriotism” by Yukio Mishima In ‘Patriotism’ Mishima develops the theme of devotion through the use of imagery. The education edict that, “husband and wife should be harmonious” (Mishima 2), does not evoke any form of fights or disagreement between amongst men; on the contrary, it stirs love, respect, and devotion for each other. Husbands do not scold their wives but they give their lives, love, and time to their wives in full measure. In this case, the education edict comes out as an image, a controversial image for the author to underscore the theme of devotion. Conventional wisdom would call for such an edict to cause revolts amongst men (Keene 1220); however, the edict arouses love. The education decree Written at a time when affirmative action is unknown, the education edict would conventionally attract bad blood from men who are enjoying superiority at this time. The Japanese men at this time have every reason to say they are not equal to women; however, in a bid to underpin the theme of devotion, Mishima chooses to paint the men as compliant beings who would raise
Introduction It is apparent that people move from one place to another in search of better lives where utilities would be higher. Oftentimes, people move from rural areas to urban centers or from small cities to larger ones. These rural-urban and urban-urban migrations are influenced by the perceptions that larger cities have more benefits than rural areas and small cities (O’Sullivan 71; Petrasyuk 3). However, it is worth noting that bigger cities have many undesirable characteristics such as longer traveling times, greater density, higher levels of pollution, and increased congestion (O’Sullivan 72; Lobo, Bettencourt, and Strumsky 1). This paper investigates the negative effects associated with the increased size of cities that reduce the utilities for the typical workers. As such, it is appreciated that working in big cities have some benefits since there are trade-offs that that offset the benefits. The paper seeks to address the question of whether workers’ utility can reduce with increasing city sizes. It is worth noting that the topic of city size and its effects on utility has been the subject of study in many countries for a considerable time. Nevertheless, time in history varies from country to country. For instance, countries with longer histories of urbanization and modernization are likely to have long histories of studying the topic than countries whose urbanization processes are recent. Investigating the negative effects of larger cities is significantly vital to various stakeholders. For scholars, the topic is an interesting field for study since it provides vital insights into the dynamics and features of urban economies and their implications to city dwellers. On the other hand, city dwellers and people working in urban centers will find this topic of the relationship between city sizes and utility as very important since it elucidates the trade-off between agglomeration economies and diseconomies of scales of working in cities. The topic is also a crucial decision-making
