Since the historic times, the sun has played a pivotal role in the existence of life on this world. Both man and plants have benefited from this vital resource. Adequate exposure to the sunrays has beneficial health effects to people. And, plants, which humans ultimately feed on, manufacture their food through the use of sun rays. Nonetheless, with the increased depletion of fossil fuels, it was not until the twentieth century that the uses of the energy from the sun were exploited. One of the most common uses of sunlight is its conversion into electricity using photovoltaic cells to generate electric energy for operating various appliances. The use of solar energy should be adopted in all states because it is a renewable energy source, environmentally friendly, cheaper in the long run, and are not limited to geographical constraints. The use of solar energy has been emphasized in some states in the U.S. because it is a renewable source of energy. States like California, New Jersey, and Colorado are at the forefront in promoting its use as a source of energy generation (Pisani, 2009). The emphasis on renewable sources of energy has been enhanced by the fact that the limited world’s resources are increasingly being depleted; thus, the states have adopted the use of solar energy so as to assist in the conservation efforts (Wanamingo, n.d.). Compared to other energy sources, sunlight is very efficient because we do not need to worry that it is going to be depleted. Sunlight is a constant source of energy that is present on a daily basis; thus, it is impossible to use it all up. Humankind has milked the planet’s vi
The book One Thousand and One Night entails a collection of Arabic folklore put together under one book. Scheherazade, a young woman married to the King, tells these stories. Shahryar, the King has decided to marry a young beautiful woman every day after which he executes her. He gets married to Scheherazade, his newest wife. However, her wit enables her to manage to postpone her execution for three years. Scheherazade keeps on telling her sadistic husband immensely fantastical stories, all which end with a guarantee of a better and more astonishing tale. In fact, some of the stories she tells are framing stories themselves with about triple and quadruple-nested framing devices. The stories make it abundantly easy for Scheherazade to postpone her execution. A frame story as is a narrative technique, also known as frame tale, where the author tells stories within a story to explain the main story. The introductory part of the main narrative is presented for the reason of creating a stage for a more accentuated second tale or s series of shorter stories. The frame story often directs leaders from the previous story to the next and several succeeding ones (Heath 359). Scheherazade tells some stories that are totally framing. With triple and quadruple nested framing devices. This literary technique works as a convenient conceit allowing the author to organize a number of shorter narratives devised by the author or picked from borrowed tales as part of building the longer story (Pinault 56). Sometimes the main story within the main narrative can serve to sum up a crucial aspect of the framing story (Heath 359). The tale of Sinbad the Seaman and Sinbad the Landsman short stories are framing stories. These are nested stories. The importance of literary techniques in literature is that they make the story remarkably explicit and more significant. They help in aiding the author to tell a story the way he/she intended to be (Husain 23). Many of the literary techniques are exceedingly common that readers can easily recognize them even though they may not know the correct names to use for reference. In the literature, one can use techniques without knowing their names (Heath 359). The One Thousand and One Night story applies some tasteful poetic devices like leitwortstil. This technique is common. However, it is less referred to by its name. This technique is effective in that the author keep on repeating some words or some short phrases which convey the them or otherwi
Executive summary Since the signing of a preferential trade agreement between Australia and the United States, the establishment of businesses in the two countries has been made much easier. The agreement was established in the North America free trade agreement that was ratified in late 2004 but effected early January 2005. The agreement followed the WTO rules which advocate equal treatment of investors in the two countries (International Trade Administration, 2007, p. 137). Special tariff rate quotas were also encrypted on the agreement; the quotas were meant to encourage agricultural trade between the two countries. This paper seeks to analyze the United States-Australia trade relationship. The legal registration of the business Considering the preferential treatment accorded to the agricultural trade between the two nations, ABC breeding company will undergo fast registration procedures. The licensing process that is involved in registering the company will be simple compared to other sectors of the economy (the United States International Trade Commission, 2004, p.1). Since ABC breeding is an agricultural-oriented company that seeks to improve beef raring in the US, a special tariff rate quota will be given to the firm. The US specifically specializes in agricultural trade since it makes up quite a considerable portion of its GDP. According to the available economic statistics, farm exports in America make up more than 25% of its national GDP. Additionally, agriculture has a favorable trade balance which attracts foreign investors. Most of the US ranchers and farmers largely depend on foreign markets to trade their products. As a result, the ABC breeding company that an Austrian investor intends to locate in the US will quickly pick as there is a ready and available market from the existing ranchers. In addition, the US government through the free trade agreement seeks to advance its agricultural productivity from its current le
Key Problems: Short-Term and Long-Term Perspectives Seeing that the lack of control over the production process has led to exposing the consumers to a massive threat to their health, it will be crucial for Gupta to reconsider the current approach toward controlling the production processes. Furthermore, the company should view the specified experience as an opportunity to update the quality standards and reinforce the importance of corporate ethics, as well as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Thus, positive publicity may become a possibility (Argenti, 2016). Recommendations for Coca-Cola’s Communication Strategy It is crucial to make sure that reinforcing the standards of corporate ethics should be the current focus of the company’s attention. In other words, Coca-Cola must communicate the idea of recognizing its fault and striving to improve. Furthermore, the communication between the company’s departments must be improved so that the quality of the production processes could rise and similar issues could be avoided in the future (Argenti, 2016). Key Constituents and Crisis Avoidance Five regional communication areas can be viewed as the primary constituents of the communication process at Coca-Cola at present. While it is important to design different communication management tools for different areas, the lack of collaboration between the five departments is a reason for concern. Therefore, active promotion of cooperation should be viewed as one of the key priorities for Coca-Cola currently. Further crises can be avoided by designing the risk management strategy based on the use of the latest approaches to information management. Furthermore, the incorporation of the strategies for quality improvement, such as Total Quality Management (TQM) and the Six Sigma approach should be considered (Pyzdek & Keller, 2014). “Real Sales of Wishful Thinking?”: Case Analysis To build a successful strategy that will allow propelling a company to the top of the market or, at the very least, make the sales numbers increase, one must elaborate on corporate values and a code of ethics that will help promote integrity across the organization. A closer look at Marty’s case will show that the firm is lacking integrity desperately since there is an evident ethical issue that needs
New Opportunities for Teachers and Citizens in San Dimas The new location is to provide services to people in San Dimas (over 34 thousand citizens). Our center’s main values include the following:   * Respect for cultural, linguistic, and religious diversity;   * Service individualization;   * Recognition of clients’ unique needs;   * Promoting healthy development. Our center provides early childhood education services to families living in different parts of the United States. We are planning to increase our organization’s presence in California by opening a new location to serve more than thirty thousand inhabitants of San Dimas. This presentation will delve into early childhood education models and apply this knowledge to the needs of people in San Dimas. The Project Approach   * Teaching strategies based on “projects” – thorough investigations of topics of interest by individuals or small/large groups;   * Key theorists – Katz and Chard;   * The approach chimes with the constructivist philosophy (knowledge is built from within and is created by learners);   * Promotion of holistic development: projects facilitate “learning by doing,” thus stimulating physical and cognitive development, and children can improve their social skills and emotional development by engaging in peer collaboration (Helm & Katz, 2016, p. 2). The Project Approach enables learners to act as investigators and delve into real-world topics to gain new experience and create practice-oriented knowledge. Concerning its theoretical foundations, the approach basically implements the ideas of constructivist teaching, according to which learning takes place when learners take an active part in knowledge generation instead of staying passive. It supports the development of the whole child by encouraging learners to form interests, teaching children to think and act in the real world, and promoting skills required for effective collaboration. Head Start   * HS emerged as a model
Understanding power Power is the most sought after thing in the world today by a substantial number of entities. It is critical to begin by understanding the meaning of power in order to gain deeper insight into the essence of power in the contemporary society. Power is used in diverse entities in the society. More often than not, people define power basing on the political sense of the term. However, it is critical to note that power can be defined from the four realms of the society (Ricoeur 2010, 18-19). According to Ricoeur (2010, 20), power can be used in the social sense, economic sense, and socio-cultural sense. Power entails the possession of attributes of control and determination of events under each sphere in which one assesses power from. The derivatives of power in the contemporary society have, therefore, become more diverse due to the diverse aspects of development that are evident in the contemporary society. However, the ancient antecedents of power as highlighted in the philosophical work of ancient philosophers like Plato are based on law. The definitions of power in the philosophical texts that are advanced in these philosophical works are based on power as an aspect of governance in the society. What defines power is the set of rules that enable governments to rule and control the citizenry. The destiny or the well-being of the citizenry is dictated by how governments use the authority that is bestowed upon them by the law. It can, therefore, be argued that political power is the center and the pillar on which other attributes of power are built. Power is likened to other attributes of control in the society. This happens as a result of the fact that power is attached to law, which in turn implies the ability to dictate the pace and the nature of developments in a count
Introduction People must have access to quality health care services because this is a basic need for survival. Modern lifestyles expose people to health risks and thus they have to seek medical assistance frequently. Health care practitioners must do their best to ensure the needs of patients are attended to without delay. The role of registered nurses is to offer services that promote good health, prevent diseases and ensure patients recover quickly (American Nurses Association 2009). However, some nurses fail to do their work properly and this compromises the quality of health care services given to patients. This discussion explores the economic impacts on an acute or chronic care environment when a registered nurse fails to follow best practices, policies and procedures in a healthcare facility. Definitions Acute care refers to short term treatments given to patients suffering from severe injuries caused by accidents or viral infections (Higgins 2013). Chronic care refers to the treatment given to patients suffering from a long term or existing illness. A registered nurse is a health specialist that has experience in this field and must be a graduate from a nursing institution that gives members of this profession licenses to offer their services (Brown and Kaplan 2012). Nurses are guided by health regulations that must be followed by all individuals to ensure they offer quality services to patients. In addition, these regulations ensure nurses have favorable working conditions and eliminate issues that may affect their roles in the provision of quality health care services (Tanner 2013). Health care institutions are allocated money that should meet their needs; therefore, nurses should ensure that they do not do anything that will make their facilities or patients to incur unnecessary expenses. The Economic Impacts of Registered Nurses’ Negligence Nurses play important roles in ensuring patients stay in health facilities for a short time. It is necessary to explain that they monitor the progress of patients and advise them on what to do to improve their conditions (Adams 2012). Therefore, they must be very careful in their evaluat
Abstract The notion that there is an inextricable link between anxiety and self-esteem, as well as perceived support from friends and self-esteem, has been subjects of frequent scientific examination. This study investigated the relationships between anxiety, social support, and self-esteem in a sample of 40 college students within the U.K. In particular, it sought to determine whether there is a relationship between anxiety, perceived support from friends, and self-esteem whereby anxiety and perceived support from friends act as predictors of the level of self-esteem. The results indicated that there is a level of anxiety that could be utilized to predict self-esteem while support from friends could not be utilized as a predictor for self-esteem. Social support Despite the fact that previous studies have been conclusive in their investigation of the relationship between social support and self-esteem, very little has been the relationship between generalized anxiety and self-esteem. Furthermore, most of these studies have been conducted exclusively with adolescents (Moreau & Weissman, 1992). While there are varying descriptions of the components of self-esteem and its conceptualization, there is a general consensus that social support, which is the provision of emotional and material resources by family, friends, and other significant individuals in one’s life, has been associated with many beneficial outcomes. High levels of support have been linked to better well-being, more hopefulness, and better adjustment, as well as higher self-esteem, lower levels of stress and depression (Demaray & Malecki, 2002; Dumont & Provost, 1999; Yarcheski, Mahon, & Yarcheski, 2001). In order to examine the relationship between perceived social support from friends and self-esteem, it is prudent that we first offer operational definitions for social support and self-esteem. A variety of social support definitions can be found in the literature, and there remains no single definition agreed upon by those who study it (Pearson, 1986). Shumaker and Brownell (1984) defined social support as “an exchange of resources between at least two individuals perceived by the provider or the recipient to be intended to enhance the well-being of the recipient” (p. 13). Social support has also been described as information that one is esteemed and part of a group (Pearson, 1986). One assumption underlying all investigations of social support is that those who have a high level of support have better emotional and physical health than those without social support. Those with high amounts of social support have more contact and companionship with others, a better-developed sense of self-identity (Shumaker & Brownell, 1984), are better able to cope with stress and have fewer psychiatric problems and lower mortality rates than lose with poor social support (Pearson, 1986). Main Effect and Stress Buffering Theories of Social Support There are two main theories that explain the process through which social support increases beneficial outcomes (Cohen & Wills, 1985). The main effect model of social support speculates that social support increases well-being for everyone, regardle
The service chosen for this assignment is named Frame Styler. Frame Styler is the product of Specsavers company; it uses facial analysis technology to scan a customer’s face and suggest the best fitting glasses based on face shape and features (Specsavers, 2018). The service is considered innovative as it fits the definition of product innovation. According to OECD (2005, para. 156), “a product innovation is the introduction of a good or service that is new or significantly improved with respect to its characteristics or intended uses.” Face recognition technology used in Specsaver’s product is not new; such technologies have been around for decades. However, it could be argued that in the case of Frame Styler, the technology has been significantly improved and adapted for its intended uses. This is the case, as such a use of facial recognition technology has not been practiced on a mass scale before. There is a different perspective on product innovation as well. According to Law (2009, para. 191), product innovation is “any new approach to designing, producing, or marketing goods or services that creates value and gives the innovating company an advantage over competitors.” In that context, Frame Styler represents a new approach to marketing goods and services for the clients of Specsavers. Time-saving is the additional value that the product creates for the customers – now they do not have to try on potentially hundreds of products to find the best fitting one. This technology has the potential to give Specsavers company an advantage over its competitors as additional value created by the technology can attract more customers and therefore boost the sales and recognition of the company. Thus, independently of the approach, the chosen service can be viewed as an innovative one. Regarding the challenges, the product does not seem to have many commercial issues after it is already developed. Therefore, two main challenges linked to the product include its development and the subsequent logistics of delivery and implementation of the technology in all brand stores. The development of the product is divided into two main parts: hardware and software development. Hardware challenges include the choice of appropriate configuration, the choice of data scanning, and edge devices. Software challenges include finding relevant data to train the system, adjustment of the system to regional demographics, and tuning the speed of image retrieval. In case the company is not able to perform the mentioned tasks on its own, any part of the process can be outsourced to specialists in the field. Such companies as Google, Microsoft, IBM, and Amazon already actively promote their ready-made solutions in the facial recognition field; those can be used as a basis for product development. It is possible to purchase both hardware and software solutions from one company to implement the project. Regarding the delivery and implementation of the technology, it is necessary to supply the chosen hardware to all of the company
The advent of the modern Arabic literature forms has changed the landscape of Arabic literature, in general, allowing it to incorporate some of the Western ideas into its philosophy and, thus, representing a more diverse set of viewpoints in it. In retrospect, Arabic literature used to exist in a cultural bubble, where it was mostly supported by the ideas that originated from within the Arabic community, as Hassan explains (159). Although the described trend was important for the enhancement of local traditions and the flourishing of the Arabic culture, it suggested vast omissions in the range of opportunities for cross-cultural learning. With the introduction of Western ideas into modern Arabic literature, its status of an unchangeable and unmalleable entity has been replaced with a different notion. Representing nowadays a much more flexible setting, modern Arabic literature tends to consider Western ideas (Rebeiz 684). While Arabic authors do not follow Western trends blindly, they do consider them as possible constituents of their philosophy and, at the very least, subject these ideas to thorough scrutiny in their works instead of ignoring them altogether. In addition, modern Arabic literature has been shaped significantly by both external and internal forces. The connection between literature and politics, as well as literature and economy or any other aspect of people’s lives might seem barely visible, yet, upon deconstruction of narratives, one will realize that a combination of sociocultural, political, economic, technological, and other factors define the direction that an author takes with their book, as well as the message that they attempt at conveying (Allen 121). The described tendency has become particularly obvious when examining modern Arabic literature. Along with the openness to external influences and ideas, modern Arabic narratives contain a significant number of contemplations of and references to the recent changes to the current political, social, and economic landscape of Arabic states (Hassan 171). For example, the aforementioned increase in the influence of Western norms and ideas is often explored not as a thing in itself but as a trend occurring on the background of an increase in nationalism and the promotion of cultural integrity and unity within Arabic countries (Rebeiz 685). Therefore, the tendency to render complicated and often convoluted social conflicts in the Arabic environment while creating a unique storyline and introducing compelling characters is one of the key features of Modern Arabic literature. The trend in question could e been as troubling by some due to the perceived threat of the erasure of Arabic culture. Although the concerns of the proponents of the specified standpoint are quite understandable and sympathetic, it is important to recognize the propensity to change in art and especially literature as one of its most fluctuating forms (Hassan 163). Therefore, experiencing the impact of other cultures is both inevitable and necessary since it defines the direction for the futur
