Twitter is an example of a micro blog system; it is a social networking site used as a means of interaction and communication among people and also friends. It is a leading online community and is open to all like many social networking sites and a very powerful social marketing too that is used by many people for educational purposes. Twitter uses a Micro blogging system which is a Web 2.0 technology, a new form of blogging which lets the users publish online brief text updates, less than 140-200 characters, and images too. “The posts can be altered and viewed on the internet or conveyed as SMS, e-mail or through instant messaging clients. This system is used by all social networking sites like twitter and facebook and MySpace” (Lew, 2007). Students and tutors have found twitter to be an effective way to solve the technical difficulties of class work since they are able to get instant answers and views about a particular problem hence assisting them in learning. Tutors also can use twitter to remind the students about home works or post the assignments to them the teachers just need to create a twitter feed on which the students can subscribe.Twiter can also be used by lectures to teach about technology, students can learn with it while at the same time interact with people. Students use twitter for class discussions, which involve discussing questions and other issues that are learned in class by using a username account, it is also used to promote writing, editing skills and it improves literacy because twitter is all about writing and all information is conveyed through texts, it is also a source of knowledge because students can post question and get answers, students can a create groups that they can use to learn, and twitter also has a personal learning network to assist students at an individual level. Conferences can be set up through Twitter and attendees can get to share their thoughts and those that are not able to attend can follow the discussions through twitter quick updates, students can also use twitter for research on their projects, educators can send assignments to students through twitter, announcements can also be made quickly to students and previous information can be retrieved. Twitter has also reference services and libraries’ from which one can easily access new books and information, this makes learning cheaper since information is accessed freely instead of using a lot of money in downloads or sending text messages to classmates to enquire about an issue.Teachers too can engage students in story telling sessions through twitter, and can also share among themselves good teaching methods through twitter. Twitter has many advantages that makes a social network preferred by many.ome of these advantages are: it is easy to join, one does so by just creating an account with them, it takes less than a minute and also one can create as many accounts as you wish, twitter also has unique profile templates,
Unpredictable Tides is the article from The Economist , the weekly publication, where news and internationals affairs are concerned. This article was published July 23, 2009 for the first time. The main idea of this article is all about world trade and the challenges, current economics faces because of the crisis. Global economic still cannot overcome the Depression, this is why the dollar value of trade continues decreasing and the World Bank bothers how to improve the situation and help the others countries to overcome the crisis and stabilize international trade. In general, the information, presented in this article, prove the ideas that economics and international trade in particular are under a certain threat that has to be analyzed as soon as possible in order not to be upset with unfavorable results. The article under consideration does not actually presents rather new concepts, which will play a considerable role in further development of economics and world trade, however, several issues, offered by bank representatives still have to be mentioned and analyzed. First of all, Bernard Hoekman, as the significant figure in the international trade department of the bank, admits that “hints of an uptick” ( Unpredictable Tides, 2009) allow to predict that trade is far from considerable booming. In this article, also one more adjective is offered to drop in trade – now, it is the “precipitate drop in trade” ( Unpredictable Tides, 2009) that is caused by the situation with global GDP. Rapid contraction of trade is another reason for fast slowdown in economic growth; this is why many firms have to draw down all their accumulated inventories very sharply. These are the main issues, which have a certain impact on further development of international and global trade. The authors of this article use many facts to support the main idea of this article that is about trade and the challenges it faces. However, I want to underline three the most significant for economic points. First, it is the two reasons of why modern trade undergoes so many changes and challenges. One of the reasons is closely connected to the turn of the year. Many economists still believe that if demand picks up in a short period of time, it will be possible to recover international trade. The second reason lies in the idea of global trade politics. The pressure that takes place among the trade barriers is still cramping, this is why unemployment bothers so many people, who deal with international trade. Another important fact that has to be considered right now is the analyses of the trade state nowadays. The information, provided by the World Bank, proves that dollar’s value is lower in comparison to the other years. This is why the condition of trade till this period of time cannot be called stable and has to be investigated in order to find out the ideas to improve the situation. The last point that makes this article really interesting and informative is the forecasts concerning international trade considering all those changes, whic
Bowel and urinary incontinence stand for the involuntary release of urine or feces by the patient (Bardsley, 2018). There are numerous reasons for such a development to occur, ranging from bodily dysfunctions to trauma. The most frequently-occurring reasons for bowel or urinary incontinence include multiple sclerosis, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke (Bardsley, 2018). Bladder and bowel infections, stones, and side effects of certain medications could also cause it. In the scope of ICU, many patients are bed-ridden and often develop or come with an already present condition of incontinence (Bardsley, 2018). Nurses are required to assist patients whenever it is needed and maintain them to a proper state of personal hygiene (Bardsley, 2018). Nevertheless, incontinence is an inconvenience to all parties, as it takes away important resources of the ICU and can be potentially dangerous to the patient due to a decreased quality of personal hygiene, dehydration, and psychological issues associated with helplessness and the necessity to rely on other people for mundane biological processes. The intervention to be developed in the scope of this assignment will deal with the prevention and care for patients with bowel and urinary incontinence in the ICU. The intervention will aim at the practical aspects of ensuring that patients have all the necessary precautions in place and to prevent non-incontinence patients from developing the conditions for the duration of their stay. This project will be a community-based intervention targeting present ICU patients as well as discharged individuals in the locality. Successful prevention of bowel and urinary incontinence will significantly improve patient health and reduce the amount of workload on nurses working in the hospital.
Recycling in the UAE With the increasing environmental threats that the world is currently facing, the United Arab Emirates joined the countries that care for the welfare of future generations. More and more recycling centers are opening throughout the country in order to dispose of the used products and create new ones using their remainders (USA International Business Publications, 2007). The recycling of used tires, however, remains underdeveloped. This concerns not only the UAE but a range of other countries as well. The value of this research consists in not only paying attention to a vital problem the country has to solve but it’s proposing definite solutions to this problem. There is a common view that used tires are of little value, which is why, once they reach the end of their lives, they are simply discarded. Being not desired at the landfills due to the large space that they occupy, there is simply no place where this product, when used, can be kept: “When the volumes were small, the problem was containable, but with the growth of vehicle sales the number of used tires has grown rapidly in the past few decades” (Mullineux, 2004, p. 73). The UAE, just like a range of other countries, faces the problem of recycling the used tires that are currently simply burnt with no financial benefits, let alone the damage that such ‘disposal’ causes to the environment. This research proposal is going to outline the ways to make the recycling of tires more beneficial financially and less harmful environmentally. Business Issues Researched: Tires Re-Usage and Recycling The recycling of used tires is quite developed throughout the world. According to Saddleback Educational Publishing (2008), “over 80% of scrap tires are taken from the waste stream for re-use” (p.54) Such countries as the United States, for instance, pay much attention to the re-use of tires (namely re-use, not the recycling because the latter involves complicated technological processes that damage the environment and are often cost-taking). Thus, for instance, tires are widely used in agriculture “to weigh down covers on haystacks and silage, or for other purposes where an easily handled weight is needed” (Lund, 2001, p. 18.23). Used tires may also serve as feeding stations or as a protection for the fence posts and the like structures from the damage that may be inflicted by the livestock. This explains how the US re-uses around 2.5 million tires every
Introduction Ethics is one of the five branches of philosophy that deals with human character and how humans conduct themselves in the society. Since humans have freedom of doing various activities that benefit them, ethics is essential because it defines their character and conduct. Essentially, ethics systematically assesses human activities with a view of establishing whether they are right or wrong. In the society where chaos and disorders prevail, ethics offers the appropriate solution because it provides moral values, principles, norms, and ideals, which humans should adhere to as standard practices of human conduct and behavior. According to Cavico and Mujtaba (2010), the aim of ethics is to understand the epistemology of human conduct and character so that it can define the best ways in which humans can co-exist and attain the real meaning of life. In this view, ethics enables humans to regulate their conduct and character to be in line with the moral values, norms, ideals, and principles that society cherishes and upholds amidst chaos and confusion. To define and expound ethics, diverse philosophers have come up with theories and models such as utilitarianism, deontology, pragmatic ethics, and postmodern ethics. Hence, this term paper seeks to use utilitarian theory and model in assessing whether it is moral for Florida Blue to implement the Obama’s health care reform. Utilitarian Theory Utilitarian theory is the dominant ethical theory that philosophers and ethicists apply when analyzing human conduct and character. John Stuart Mill is one of the pioneers and proponents of utilitarian theory. Fundamentally, utilitarian theory belongs to the category of consequential theories that assess morality basing on the consequences of an action. According to Mill (2010), rightness or wrongness of an action is dependent on its consequences rather than the nature of the action. On this assertion, utilitarian theory rejects the assessment of morality basing on the actions. Hence, utilitarian theory assumes that human actions have no morality in themselves unless assessed using their consequences. Cavico and Mujtaba (2009) argue that an action is morally right if its consequences are good, and it is morally wrong if its consequences are bad. Hence, the consequences of an action are central in determining if an action is right or wrong. The utilitarian theory also assesses the degree of morality or the extent to which an action is right or wrong. According to the utilitarian theory, for an action to be morally right, it must generate greatest happiness or pleasure to most people and cause the least pain and harm (Mill, 2010). In this view, the theory does not only assess the degree of morality basing on the consequences, but also assesses morality basing on the number of people that gain happiness or experience pain. The consequence of an action may be good, but it does benefit the greatest number of people in terms of happiness and pleasure. In the examination of utilitarian theory, Cavico and Mujtaba (2009) state that the consequence of an action should be good an
Music that is accompanied by sound effects plays several roles when it comes to production of any given movie. Historically, film producers have been able to apply sound and music to create emotions in those who are watching the films among other applications. This is evident in the kind of sound and action combination in movies released in the 19 th century which is the focus of this research. The main aim of this research paper is to discuss the role of music in a selected film. The focus of the paper is to demonstrate that music plays several roles in a Hollywood film titled “The Sea Hawk” that was released in 1940. This paper vehemently defends the fact that music in films plays an important role of bringing out the persona in a character among other roles. Discussion The Sea Hawk is a 1940 adventure film that was released by Hollywood and encompasses the aspects of sound and action throughout its plot. The music played in the film was composed by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, who was an Austro- Hungarian film and romantic music composer. Directors of this film spent a lot of time just selecting this kind of music to accompany the action of their characters because they understand that this has several impacts on viewer’s reactions and thus film enhancement. The music is then played at selected scenes in the film to enhance the message or the action being played. In the beginning, there is a background music that is played when Knox and Lupino are passengers in a ship that collides with another vessel and sinks. A loud music is played in this scene to evoke emotions of the viewer in a manner that indicates something so immense and creates a lot of tension. The two are rescued by a ghost which is a seal hunting ship whereby Captain Wolf Larsen known as Robinson dominates in brutalizing members of the crew and as they move, the music played indicates that there is sympathy on the part of those who are being brutalized. The beat is repeated throughout the film and becomes a motif that is symbolic of the brutal life that these individuals are facing and even of the whole movie. Music used in this film out rightly creates a message that it is possible to create a character of its own. It serves the purpose of emphasizing a critical point in the film because it works to move the plot and ensure that the message intended is clearly brought forward. For example, when the ambassador’s ship that had sunk is captured on its way to England, music that is played serves to indicate that there is a lot of tension and the viewer needs to be keen on which events are going to unfold. The situation of tension is reduced when
Introduction A management information system is considered as one of the most effective and successful systems that are able to provide the necessary information in order to promote the development and management of any organization in time. In this paper, the analysis of five aspects will be given in order to evaluate the work and success of Mitsubishi Motors as the chosen enterprise in the automobile manufacturing industry: global MIS and risks (promotion of the organization all over the world), ethical and social issues (improvement of relations on different levels), project failures (awareness about possible types and ways of their overcoming), e-commerce (productivity), and strategies (presentation of qualified services). Discussion Backgrounds of the enterprise. The automobile industry is one of the most popular and fast-spreading ones in the whole world. It usually deals with developing, manufacturing, and selling motor vehicles which are in demand among people of all races, ages, genders, and social statuses. This is why there are many reasons of why Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is chosen for this report and the analysis of the issues in management information systems. This enterprise appeared on the world arena at the end of the 1800s and continues developing nowadays. Management issues for consideration . Among the variety of issues which are inherent to management information systems, the aspects described below with their own peculiarities and ideas to be taken into consideration are chosen for the analysis. Global MIS/risks may be characterized by the next issues: self-contained services and users’ involvement for testing purposes that is increased quickly and controlled poorly. The development of self-contained services provides the enterprise under consideration with an opportunity to influence considerably proper building and harmony of the manufacturing process. Ethics is defined as a powerful set of moral values which have to be met by any organization and any group of people in it. This management aspect may be observed in such issues like invasion of privacy of individuals who are eager to be anonymous but still have to undergo recognition in the chosen industry or necessity to install different programs, additional material, and details to the already manufactured vehicle. Project failures may be caused by numerous reasons, and one of them is poor quality of management or lack of practice. Mitsubishi Motors is not a newbie in this industry; this is why its experience should not be an obstacle and the reason to fail the project. However, such issues like wrong cost-benefit analysis for the current and the next year or socio-political situation in the country may impact the development of the company. There are a number of strategies which may be used to tackle forces, to improve the relations between manufactures, buyers, and customers, and to develop information technologies on the proper level. Among the existed variety, it is possible to define the following issues: development of entry-barriers which aim at creation different types of obstacles for new org
Are WTO trade agreements unjust? With its membership of 163 states and with its ability to affect the process of policy-making in these countries, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is considered one of the most influential international organisations. The main conceptual premise, which justifies this Organisation’s continual existence, is that the removal of trade barriers on the way of a free flow of goods and services throughout the world does contribute to the facilitation of global prosperity (Walton 2013; Stiglitz & Charlton 2005). In its turn, the mentioned assumption helps to establish the Organization’s legitimacy, as such that has the principle of bilateral beneficence embedded into the very philosophy of its functioning, and to promote the idea that by applying for the membership in the WTO, the developing countries will be able to revitalize their economies. As Sutherland (2008) noted, “In an era of broadening and deepening globalization, small or struggling economies thrive only in an environment that generates opportunity and supports entrepreneurship. Much of what the WTO does is, in fact, about helping achieve good or better governance” (p. 19). It is understood, of course, that such an idea is hardly consistent with the suggestion what the Organization’s trade-agreements can be unjust, by definition. Nevertheless, once subjected to an analytical inquiry, these agreements will be indeed exposed utterly inequitable, in the sense that they make it impossible for the developing country-members to become fully developed. In my paper, I will explore the validity of this statement at length while explaining what accounts for the Organization’s true (and rather unsightly) agenda. Even though the WTO top-officials never cease stressing out the Organisation’s apolitical and ideologically neutral nature, this is far from being the actual case. The reason for this is apparent – the manner, in which the WTO settles trade-disputes between country-members and provides the sets of recommendations, with respect to what should be the essence of economic reforms in these countries, is reflective of the foremost provisions of the ideology of Neoliberalism. They are as follows, “The state needs to reduce its interventionism in economic and social activities… labour and financial markets should be deregulated… Commerce and investments should be stimulated by eliminating borders and barriers” (Navarro 2006, p. 18). The actual logic behind these discursive assumptions that it is namely the ‘invisible hand of the market’, which should be made solely responsible for defining the socio-economic dynamics in just about every country on this planet – the main key to prosperity. The WTO is there to merely provide an additi
