Introduction A selection interview is a position in which a person who is responsible for selection of workers through individual contact endows himself or herself with a behaviour that will assist him to observe and assess the applicant’s appropriateness for a position or a job. An emblematic selection interview only lasts for fifteen to sixty minutes. However, in a number of cases, the time might be shorter or even extensively long. Surveys show that, over ninety percent of organisations in the United Kingdom and the United States use this kind of interview strategy when it comes to selection of managers. According to views expressed by Armstrong (2009, p. 109), in bigger organisations, interviews are frequently the vital selection tools utilised in the procedures of selection. However, medium and smaller sized companies use the biodata (obtained in forms of application) in the interview process for them to conduct effective selection. The information that will be obtained in the biodata will be the only information to be used in the processes of making decisions. According to Robert (1997, p. 189), the rationale behind a selection interview is to assist in the prediction of the applicant’s probable performance in a specific job situation and to find out if the applicant is indeed fascinated in the profession and or capable to perform it. In addition, selective interviews also function in the explanation of the organisation’s work, the job, and any other characteristics involved, for instance, training and trial. It also functions in the setting of expectations on either sides, as well as a practical conversation of any possible difficulties (if suitable). According to Arthur (2012, p. 102), he says that managers have used selective interviews in recruitment processes since it gives a mutual sample giving the employer a chance to gather and obtain essential data concerning the potential employee thus giving the candidates the same chance to collect essential data concerning a possible future employer. Managers have also used it in the courses of negotiation where they do discussions on issues like those that wage requirements and necessities in preparation and development are done. However, as good as it might sound, the paper shows how selective interview negatively and poorly predicts the future performance of an applicant. Reasons to Why Selective Interview Is a Poor Predictor of the Applicant’s Future Performance Despite being proven that most interviews especially selection interviews are subject to unfairness and are frequently not regarded as suitable predictors of future work performance, they are still broadly used as methods of selection when it comes to employment. Until now, evidences prove that, not many complaints that have been raised with reference to unfairness through interview practices that were dishonestly done have measu
Theological Message of the Book of Isaiah The book of Isaiah is very important because it prophesies the birth and life of Jesus Christ. The prophecy of Christ is a testament of hope in God 1 . Prophet Isaiah describes how Christ will save all believers on the Judgment Day. The main theological theme of this book is found in Isaiah 12: 2. This verse states that God is the salvation of every Christian 2 . Believers should therefore trust and worship their God. The first 39 chapters of this book focus on the issue of judgment. This portrayal of judgment is relevant because it creates room for salvation. According to many scholars of the Bible, Christians should be in need of salvation. This argument explains why the themes of judgment and salvation go hand-in-hand in this book. The first chapters of Isaiah explain how sinners will be judged. The faithful ones will receive God’s blessings. Such believers will eventually live in a renewed world full of happiness. Summary Statement : The book of Isaiah describes how God will destroy those who have sinned and save the faithful. Theological Themes in the Book of Isaiah The concept of dualism is notable in many prophetic books in the Holy Bible. This is the same case with the book of Isaiah. The author of the book begins by giving the prophecies associated with his time 3 . The author then tackles a greater fulfillment that will occur after Jesus Christ returns for the second time. The book of Isaiah shows clearly that a great judgment awaits all believers. The verdict will take place after the end of this present era. This message of judgment is presented to the reader using four unique themes. This essay offers a detailed analysis and meaning of each of the four themes. Jesus Christ The theme of Christ occurs throughout this book. Most of the chapters in Isaiah contain prophesies of the Messiah. The book identifies Jesus’ first coming. The theme of Jesus Christ makes it easier for believers to understand God’s prophecies. The New Testament is a fulfillment of these prophecies by Isaiah 4 . Several verses in the book give a detailed analysis of Jesus’ role as the son of God. For instance, Isaiah 2:4 indicates clearly that Jesus will judge every nation. According to the book, Christ will be the child of a virgin. His name “shall be Immanuel ” (Isaiah 8: 8-10). According to Isaiah (28: 16), Jesus Christ will be the foundation of every soul. Chapter 53 of the book explains how Christ will suffer on earth. The prophet also indicates how Jesus will die to save mankind. This chapter shows clearly that Jesus will come to give his precious life on the cross in order to redeem mankind. The Passover lamp mentioned in Isaiah (53:7) symbolizes this act of heroism. God uses Isaiah’s prophecies to reveal why Jesus Christ will have a human soul 5 . This approach will make it easier for Christ to deal with the sins affecting mankind. God also showed Isaiah how Jesus will b
The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks exhibits the traditional narrative of the protagonist finding love despite the hardships he encounters on his way. The critique of the book usually names fate and luck as its central theme. This notion is confirmed by the role the fatal coincidence plays throughout the plot, numerous suggestions made by the characters, and, to some degree, by the book title. The official site of the book defines it as a “story about the […] power of fate to guide us” (“The Lucky One” par. 3). However, despite the consensus among critics, both the fate and the chance are methods that are used by the author to reveal a much deeper concept of the journey through which the protagonist searches for the meaning of his life throughout the narrative. The concept of finding meaning is developed by contrasting the chaotic nature of war and the order introduced by the photograph he has found. The protagonist, Logan Thibault, is a marine at service in the war in Iraq. As the narration follows the protagonist, it is natural that little attention is paid to the broader picture, like the political proceedings behind the conflict. Nevertheless, Logan’s point of view is also vague. Nowhere in the course of events does he exhibit any sign of patriotism or nationalism which would explain why he is taking part in the war. His involvement lacks any substance, and it may seem he would not be able to explain it if asked directly. The same can be said about the conflict itself, as all of the missions that Logan participates in are of erratic and haphazard nature – not from the tactical or strategical perspective, but the standpoint of an unbiased human being. This is perhaps best illustrated by the experience Logan has acquired throughout his service, which did not include any logic and instead “taught him to trust his instincts,
Intelligent input/output (I2O) is the title of specific hardware architecture developed and popularized by the Intel Company. This technology increases the power and performance of computer cores by reducing the amount of energy processed by the system’s CPU. The following paper is intended to describe and discuss how I2O works and how it influences other related hardware processes. Background Work As it is mentioned above, the concept of I2O hardware architecture was developed by the Intel Corporation. It makes the work of computers faster due to the increase of processor performance. Such a model is possible when various interrupt-intensive programs’ burden on a CPU is reduced to its possible minimum (Bradley et al. 3). Moreover, I2O also optimizes system drivers installed on a limited number of operating systems to increase the machine’s potential. It would be proper to mention that I2O can only be used with the products of Intel because its system is not developed for CPUs released by other manufacturers. It is possible to make any computer faster by approximately thirty percent more than its maximum power allows, which is depicted in the diagram above. As it is mentioned before, I2O also standardizes some drivers that have to be divided into two separate components listed below:   * HDM (hardware device module). Its purpose is to interface with a certain peripheral device recognized by a computer.   * OSM (operating system service module). This component must interface with a specific operating system (Windows, Linux, NetWare and so on) installed on a scanned hard drive. Moreover, I2O creates a particular layer between the two modules mentioned above. Such a function optimizes the work of the entire machine by considering all its elements (“Intelligent Input/Output (I2O)”). After analyzing various pieces of hardware and software registered on a hard disk, the system generates the most beneficial proportions of these elements’ performance and load, which allows users to experience the most of their computers’ potential. Comparison This section is intended to compare the most significant advantages and disadvantages of I2O techniques.

Works only with a limited number of operational systems.

Computers last longer and remain more powerful than regular machines.  The price of Intel processors with the integrated I2O is higher than regular products of the same power on the market.

Introduction An organization that wants to succeed in a competitive business environment needs a sound strategy. A strategy is a broad, long-term plan, conceived in order to achieve business objectives. Strategies are developed at three levels of the organization name, the corporate level, the business level and the functional level. Many operational decisions are framed in conformity with the objectives of the business, and with the functional objectives of the various departments of the organization. Operations strategies such as the preference of operating structure are influenced by the nature of the goods or services to be produced or offered and the markets intended to be served. However, the organization should use Marketing as a focal point of revenue creation. When making marketing decisions, it is important to consider all aspects of the macro-environment to make sure that whatever the decision is made is sustainable not only to the business but also in the larger business environment. Marketing decision marking and sustainable development should thus be treated as two inseparable concepts since it is the decisions made that will determine the sustainability of the business. Marketing research is a mandatory tool to evaluate marketing dynamics and gather important information that can aid in decision-making. Challenges of StubHub, Inc in the environment The industry in which StubHub, Inc operates is believed to be very competitive. The existence of competitive companies like e-bay makes competition to be very high. Although the industry exercises an extremely high level of macroeconomic power in the nation, it is at the same time enormously receptive to public opinion. Targeting tickets of those customers who are not going to attend a game for one or two reasons are limiting the business of the organization. StubHub, Inc’s marketing approach on the internet affects its sales strategy largely. Note that the advertising the companies adhere to focuses on social knowledge building. It entices the creation of a more definite approach in helping society know about the real worth of their products, which has a lengthened effect on their buyers’ minds than that of the appeal-based advertisements and popularity endorsements.

Introduction The Democratic Party of USA is the oldest political party in the world. It gained a lot of popularity in the years of Great Depression when it came up with policies to tackle unemployment and fuel industries. It also sponsored the most famous president in the history of America, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who is the only president to have been elected for four years. It has become popular in its support for civil rights, social welfare and the Third countries aid. The Republican Party on the other hand, was founded in the 1854 during the anti-slavery movement by members of the former Democratic-Republican Party supporting the extension of slavery in the Nebraska and Kansa territories
Introduction Heroin is a highly addictive and an illegal drug manufactured using plants’ products such as morphine. The seeds of poppy plants are raw materials for the manufacture of heroin. The use of heroin is common in South America and some areas of Southeast Asia. To enhance the quality of the drug, heroin manufacturers add milk, starch, and sugar. When consuming the drug, individuals smoke, sniff, or inject themselves with the drug. In its pure state, heroin is white in color, however, in some instances, crude ways of manufacturing results in black heroin commonly known as black tar, which is black in color because of impurities. Evidently, injection is the major consumption mode of black tar, while consumers smoke or sniff pure heroin. To enhance understanding of heroin, this essay discusses the history and development, appearance, production, societal effects, and health risks of heroin. History and Development The history of heroin, a highly addictive and illegal drug, dates back to 1898 when the pharmaceutical company at Bay in Germany manufactured the drug. In the company, the drug acted as a remedy for morphine addicts and in tuberculosis treatment. Addiction to opium reached high levels among Americans in the 1850s. As a result, there was a need to administer a non-addictive drug to relieve the individuals from the addiction to opium. Medical practitioners chose morphine and used it as a substitute drug to reduce addiction to opium. However, in an attempt to solve opium addiction, individuals transformed and became addicted to morphin
The rapid globalization of the 21st century caused the emergence of distinctive characteristics of modern times. The major change in this respect is attributed to the development of technologies, especially to the emergence of the Internet. In 2021, 4.6 billion people had access to the Internet worldwide (Johnson, 2021), so almost everyone could express his or her opinion about any acute topic. For this reason, ​​Chareonwongsak (2002) sees the emergence of a multidimensional view of truth. The goal of a thoughtful Internet user is not to find necessary information but to sort the relevant one from random speculations. This trait is seen in Singapore’s reality, where the users of messengers and social media can spread fake information about vaccination and coronavirus. The fact that thousands of millions of people almost live on social media provoked many debates about the future implications of such a process. Eveleth (2019) claims that “often consumers don’t have much power of selection at all”. Indeed, many people, especially the modern generation, lost their ability to identify the truth from lies. ​​Chareonwongsak (2002) suggests that the right way for state agencies to act is to try to direct public opinion in the right direction. Although freedom of speech and expression should be protected, the state has tools to deliver and explain verified information about the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, in the US, ‘big tech’ companies agreed to market unscientific comments and opinions with a special ‘fact check’ button. In the case of the Singaporean government, special state agencies can monitor social media with the aim of finding common patterns of misinformation. After that, the government can publish statements or publish videos explaining why the prevalent social media agenda is incorrect.
Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of innate red blood cell disorders that affect their function. These disorders arise from alterations in the beta globin gene that encode the production of globin, which is the protein component of hemoglobin. Consequently, there is impaired transport of oxygen alongside other complications. Various forms of treatment exist in the treatment of SCD including hydroxyurea, bone marrow transplants, and blood transfusions among others. However, the invention of personalized medicine provides a lasting solution to developing permanent cure of SCD. This paper describes the process of screening and genetic counseling provided to a 17-year-old African American boy wishing to have personalized treatment for SCD. Blood and skin samples were tested. The patient was found to be homozygous for sickle cell hemoglobin. The reprogramming process showed normal cell behavior thus confirming that the treatment would be beneficial to the patient. The patient received genetic counseling explaining the logic of the tests and the subsequent treatment steps. Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) denotes a cluster of hereditary red blood cell illnesses. It is among the most common autosomal recessive disorders globally (Bölke & Scherer, 2012). The disorder arises when there is a transmutation in the order of nucleotides in the gene that ciphers the beta chain of the human hemoglobin. A single nucleotide change from adenine to thiamine results in a change in the sixth amino acid from glutamate to valine. This substitution leads to the production of aberrant hemoglobin denoted as Hb S. In sickle cell anemia, an individual inherits two defective copies of the hemoglobin gene from both parents leading to homozygous Hb SS. Such hemoglobin has tendencies of clumping, which causes erythrocytes to stiffen and assume a sickle shape. In the absence of adequate oxygen, the sickle red blood cells are highly predisposed to clustering, which blocks blood vessels particularly capillaries and leads to some of the symptoms observed in the ailment. Sickle cell anemia (homozygous Hb SS) represents about 60%-70% of SCD in the United States (Sun, Liang, Abil, & Zhao, 2012). Other varieties of SCD occur when the defective Hb S gene is passed down to the offspring alongside other uncharacteristic β-globin chain modifications. They include sickle-hemoglobin C disease (Hb SC) and thalassemias (alpha and beta thalassemia). Other atypical types such as D-Punjab, O-Arab, and E have also been reported (Homer & Oyeku, 2016). The formation of red blood cells occurs i
Possible Family Reactions on a Developmental Delay or Disability Raising a child with disabilities and special needs is a daunting task for parents. Many families where sons or daughters have congenital or acquired disabilities are forced to face constant stress. In this case, the reaction of relatives to the diagnosis of a developmental delay or another serious disorder in their child may be different. According to Gargiulo and Kilgo, a number of factors can influence the perception of family members and their further adaptation to such unpleasant news (57). In case parents are too impressionable, the information of their child’s illness can shock them, and the help of psychologists may be required. However, the authors also cite the examples of large families where all members support one another and try to cope with current life challenges (Gargiulo and Kilgo 57). Certainly, data about any disability of a child is a significant shock. Nonetheless, if parents are willing to fight for the recovery of their son or daughter, the period of adaptation to a new lifestyle will pass faster. If I encountered the aforementioned problem, I would be very upset and would seek to find help from medical specialists. Moreover, I would certainly follow all the recommendations and advice from all the professionals without exception. Nevertheless, I would be aware of the responsibility that could be placed on me, and I would not be afraid of “routine but difficult caregiving tasks” that Gargiulo and Kilgo mention (58). This situation is certainly unpleasant, but I would feel a little better if I helped my child but not just regretted what had happened to him or her because of the circumstances that we could not change. Special Education Assessments The assessment of the effectiveness of special education is an essential step in the analysis of general correctional work aimed at treating or rehabilitating a child with special needs. Several years ago, I participated in charity sessions dedicated to helping children with various forms of physical or mental disabilities. The entire course was free for families, and volunteers interacted with patients, helping those in need while honing their skills. During those activities, I was able to understand that the emphasis on any child’s abilities had a more important role as compared with particular attention paid to this or that disorder. My colleagues and I resorted to formal testing described by Gargiulo and Kilgo as one of the most frequent mechanisms of educational evaluation (88). Due to special tasks offered to children, we were managed to obtain reliable and comprehensive data regarding the characteristics of the development of all the patients who contacted us. The evaluation approach that implied using tests was not the only practice that we promoted to determine the quality and benefits of therapeutic procedures prescribed for young patients. Since most of the children who attended our courses were preschoolers, we utilized a play-based method. Gargiulo and Kilgo note that thi
