Introduction Smart phone is a mobile phone which is based on a mobile computing platform. It has more advanced computing capabilities and networking as compared to a contemporary mobile phone. The first smart phones were developed to join the operations of a mobile phone and a personal digital assistant (PDA). Currently, Smartphone devices are used to combine operations of portable media players, compact digital cameras, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units. Today, Smartphone includes web browsers that can properly navigate web pages rather than websites. They also include high-resolution touch screens, mobile, broadband, and fast data access through Wi-Fi. Modern smart phones use various software such as Nokia’s Symbian, Microsoft Windows Mobile, and Apple’s ios, Windows phone, Blackberry Operating System; Android and embedded Linux (Yang & Zheng, 2007). This software is installed on various smart phone models, and each device can get several software updates over the lifetime. The difference between smart phones and other phones is vague, as there is no explanation on the difference between them. The crucial difference that can be established is the advanced application programming interfaces on smart phones. This enables applications to integrate with the Smartphone’s operating system and its. Smart phones have been developed in the last decade. Initially, business professionals used smart phones, but today they are accessible to the public. The purpose of this research paper is to compare the advantages and disadvantages of various Smartphone’s software applications. Smart phone soft ware Nokia’s Symbian is one of the first Smartphone softwares. The operating system was developed for ordinary gaming, basic media, and text messaging operations, as well as basic e-mail and web surfing operations (Frederick, 2010). The software has several advantages. For instance, it offers a combination of leading edge mobile technology and various ranges of run times. It has led to development of million Symbian devices that provide an excellent opportunity to deliver profitable applications in the market. It provides all features required to test applications for Symbian devices on a P.C. In addition, Smartphone helps in developing the VGA screen resolution, which facilitates the development for the Nokia E6 device. The software provides updated browser, which is installed in Nokia phones. The three-plane architecture provides improved data flow performance. Symbian software supports Korean and Chinese languages. It enables a person to develop applications using Qt, C++, and Web Runtime. Nokia Symbia has various disadvantages (Firtman, 2010). For instance, Symbian 3 uses numerical keypad, which is not proficient in the word of prediction and autocorrelation. The operating system has unimpressive browser causing users to seek help of third party applications such as opera mobile to get browsing experience. Its online music store, Ovi music, did not receive positive responses. It does not allow the user to purchase all movies, music videos, and TV shows. The software has few applications as compare to other software such as
Lesson Plan on Leadership Because of the growing interest in social behavior and the social roles – the specific disguise which people put on – one of the most important issues in social psychology is forming the students’ personalities. Making them develop in their specific way is the key aim of the teacher. Thus, the lesson must be designed by the students’ needs and wants. For a quick start, a short warm-up is recommended. Beginning with a rather easy and interesting exercise would create the right atmosphere and raise the competitive spirit among the students, which will encourage them for a productive lesson. The next step would be revising the material which they have already learned in the previous lesson. This will make them more certain about their knowledge and prepare them for the next piece of a theory which they are going to receive in this lesson. After the exercise, the students will learn a new piece of rules. It could be a good idea to introduce the new topic in such a way that they could deduce the rule themselves. Perhaps, giving them a few examples which they can base their judgments on will do fine. Finally, a simple exercise on the newly learned rule should follow. Seeing that they can handle the new rule completely, the students will be more enthusiastic about the new topic. The final chord would be explaining what the students will have to do for the home assignment. T-P Leadership Questionnaire Among the most important issues in the working place, the aspect of leadership is of paramount importance. Once the boss fails to create the necessary environment for working, the employees will fail to complete the work. Thus, leadership skills are the foundation of company prosperity. According to the results obtained from the questionnaire on leadership skills, which in my case are P8 and T8, I could make a good leader. However, it seems to me that the question concerning the changes in the working place is a little bit controversial. Although changes can encourage productivity and the growth of the company, they are most needed when something starts going wrong. When the company flourishes, the slightest touch on the clockwork of the mechanism can result in collapse, so it is a good idea to be more careful with changing the system. Reflections on Articles About Women and Leadership “The results surprised him and even made him sad because he found out that even in the 21 st century, many men are still straitjacketed in stereotypes.” It seems to me that the concern about the stereotypes is a bit exaggerated. No matter how much mankind tries to increase the speed of its development, the evolution moves at its own pace, and the time will finally set its score. Even though modern men seem completely stuck in the prejudice of the past, their views have changed greatly, compared to the mid-1950ies, for example. Thus, there is no need to make things go faster – and there is no use. Also, it would be wise to consider man’s psychology as well. Because of the peculiarity of their temper and the
Introduction Regardless of the achievements in the sphere of effective pain management techniques, pain in children frequently remains undertreated. This paper will discuss the underlying causes of the barriers to the global improvement of the current pain management practices in pediatric settings and the changes which can be made for adopting the philosophy prioritizing pain management. Taking into account the impact of the cultural environment and the level of the practitioners’ competence and professional knowledge upon the quality of the medical outcomes, this paper explores the perceived and real barriers to pediatric pain management and the measures which need to be taken for improving the situation. In pediatric settings how can the data collection, staff consultation, cultural and organizational changes affect the perceived barriers to children’s pain management? Main Body The main purpose of this research project is to evaluate the existing pain management practices, identifying the existing deficiencies in the procedures and the measures in the frames of cultural and organizational changes which need to be taken for filling the gaps and improving the outcomes. Special consideration will be given to the perceived barriers, their underlying causes and the practical solutions for the problem of understated and undertreated children’s pain. The original article by Dowden, McCarthy and Chalkiadis (2008) was aimed at exploring the main barriers to improvement of pain management within hospital settings, providing recommendations for improving the situation in a particular pediatric hospital in Melbourne and estimating the effects of the implemented changes. The research question posed in this original article is how the adoption of the philosophy prioritizing the pain management along with acknowledgement of the physical, social and psychological factors affecting the pain representation can foster the global improvement of the pain management strategies and outcomes. This particular question is significant because the evidence shows that the problem of undertreated pain and ineffective pain management strategies are rooted deep in the imperfection of the health care organizations and the biases of the practitioners which can be affected through undertaking educational and consultation initiatives. However, as it was stated by Henderson et al (2006), the integration of evidence into practice is a beneficial but time-consuming process because the immediate results of materialization of evidence-based practice are hardly identifiable. Dowden et al (2008) in their turn concluded that the achievement of organizational changes and global improvement of the pediatric pain management requires adoption of the upgraded philosophy prioritizing pain management which cannot be performed immediately. Taking into account the gaps in theoretical knowledge regarding this issue, it can be stated that further empirical research is necessary for providing the insight into the major influential factors which need to be considered for handling th
Introduction In the context of this study, it is important to explain the variety of EFL teachers’ attitudes towards the communicative language teaching method adopted at schools of Saudi Arabia. While trying to explain a person’s behavior, it is necessary to analyze his or her attitudes as specific constructs. Thus, Fishbein and Ajzen (1975) claimed in their Theory of Reasoned Action that particular actions of individuals are usually the result of their unique attitudes. The Theory of Reasoned Action The Theory of Reasoned Action was later developed into the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980; Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975). According to the Theory of Planned Behavior, desired behaviors are typically predicted by people’s assessments or attitudes, as well as their expectations regarding outcomes of particular behaviors (Townsend et al., 2003). According to Fishbein and Ajzen (1975), an individual tends to develop unique beliefs regarding objects and situations which can affect his or her attitude to these phenomena. Individuals’ attitudes are associated with predispositions observed in response to objects or situations that are reflected favorably or unfavorably. Therefore, attitudes seem to be in a relationship with a person’s behavior (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975). From this perspective, if it is possible to determine teachers’ attitudes, it is also possible to assess their behaviors as direct outcomes of these attitudes, and this relationship between the two constructs is strong. The attitudes and opinions In many cases, the attitudes and opinions of those educators who participate in implementing and promoting educational changes are not considered by leaders proposing educational initiatives. Thus, the process of implementing these changes can be affected negatively. Consequently, to guarantee the successful implementation of an educational initiative, it is significant to determine the attitudes of teachers at school (Kumar, Karabenick, & Burgoon, 2015). The existing literature has supported the idea that teachers’ attitudes regarding innovative instruction and methods are critical for the implementation process (Mei Kin, Abdull Kareem, Nordin, & Wai Bing, 2018). According to Fishbein and Ajzen (1975), teachers’ attitudes can affect their behaviors and practice. As a result, examining teachers’ attitudes about CLT is crucial for discerning teachers’ instructional practice in their EFL classrooms.
The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) played a vital role in improving healthcare research for women. It provided a significant amount of data on such conditions as breast, colorectal, and ovarian cancer, heart disease, and stroke (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute [NHLBI], 2019). The vital information about postmenopausal women’s response to hormone therapy became the basis for many subsequent studies. However, current practices built on the results of the WHI’s research may present other standards of care. For instance, the selected article by Prentice et al. (2019) discusses the most recent best practices for women with or at risk of breast cancer. The new standard of care shows evidence that a low-fat diet, deemed insignificant by the WHI study, is beneficial to women for preventing or improving their risks of breast cancer. Disorder Description Breast cancer is a serious and common condition that has one of the highest mortality rates among women (Tharpe, Farley, & Jordan, 2017). It is a type of cancer that affects the cells of the breast and is much more prevalent in women than in men (Senkus et al., 2015). Its symptoms include breast lumps, changes in breasts’ appearance, skip pigmentation, flaking, redness, or scaling (Tharpe et al., 2017). Some risk factors can help clinicians to identify breast cancer sooner. These are genetic predisposition, a history of atypical hyperplasia, low parity, and exposure to radiation and estrogen (Senkus et al., 2015). Nonetheless, the absence of risk factors in many cases makes the diagnosis of this condition more challenging, while also increasing the need to develop reliable preventive strategies. Furthermore, the debate over lifestyle elements, such as one’s diet, alcohol consumption, and obesity, continues. Best Practice The current best practice for assessing and managing breast cancer consider lifestyle changes to be a vital part of the healing process. The study by the WHI focuses on dietary lifestyle changes and their effect on breast cancer, and the selected research article also presents data about this part of the treatment. According to Prentice et al. (2019), a diet with low fat and an increase in the consumption of vegetables, fruit, and grains leads to some improvements in women’s breast cancer incidence and mortality. While these changes may not affect primary breast cancer incidence directly, the authors argue that they lower the risk of other health problems, thus affecting the risk of breast cancer (Prentice et al., 2019). As a result, dietary intervention with a plant-based, low-fat diet is recommended to decrease the potential harm of breast cancer for postmenopausal women. These findings differ from the data presented by the WHI. The original investigation by the WHI did not support the role of low-fat diets in reducing the risks of breast cancer (NHLBI, 2019). The WHI’s conclusions that a low-fat d
Introduction Environmental pollution is a severe issue in the modern world because urbanization and constantly increasing production rates lead to higher CO2 emissions. This and many other gases contaminate the atmosphere, creating a greenhouse effect. According to Packham (2021, para. 2), Australia is “one of the world’s largest carbon emitters on a per capita basis.” This information demonstrates that the country should draw adequate attention to reduce its impact on the environment. That is why appropriate ecological forums and conferences are widespread in the nation, while its government wants to invest millions of dollars in new technologies that promise to improve the given state of affairs (Packham, 2021, para. 1). However, the data of the past two decades demonstrates that Australia has shown a decline in green production compared to other G7 nations (Andres and Mealy, 2021, p. 1). This information denotes that Australia seeks new technologies that reduce carbon emissions, and green steel production is among them. Thus, the given report attempts to present the assessment of the green steel production technology. A few separate aims will contribute to achieving this overall goal. Firstly, it is necessary to deliver background information about the selected technology to identify how it works and why it deserves attention. Secondly, the report will overview the potential social and environmental impacts of green steel production. Thirdly, the identified impacts will become more evident when compared to the use of existing or alternate technologies to produce steel. Fourthly, it will be necessary to analyze and interpret the found information on the topic to see what outcomes the selected technology offers. Finally, the report will present conclusions that will summarize the data and provide recommendations as to whether green steel production is efficient technology. It is worth admitting that separate sections will introduce each aim, while the report will rely on case studies and official data to assess the chosen technology. Background Green steel production is a new technology that offers to revolutionize the process of steel manufacturing. Traditionally, this material is produced by burning coal, which results
The success of any organization relies a lot on teamwork. Consequently, almost all employees within an organization look forward to joining a properly functioning team. However, this is not always the case and at times, we may find ourselves in dysfunctional teams (Biech, 2007). The current essay aims to examine the experiences of the writer with a dysfunctional team and the factors that might have contributed to this. Also, the essay shall endeavor to explore the experiences of the writer with a highly effective team, along with the associated factors. In dysfunctional team participants lack focus and as such, it becomes difficult for them to achieve a common goal (Lencioni, 2002). A dysfunctional team could also be due to failure by team members to contribute to the common goal. I was at one time part of a dysfunctional team and my experience with the group is that we did not support one another in our endeavor to achieve the goal at hand. Some of the members did not even realize that we needed to work as a team to achieve the set goal. It is important for team members to feel committed to one another. Also, team members should feel interdependent. I believe one of the main reasons why we ended up with a dysfunctional team is because some of the team members were intent on dominating the group. This resulted in personal attacks on some of the members. On the other hand, some of the members were unwilling to compromise and as such, we lacked a common direction. As such, most of the time meant for discussing serious issues was spent settling personal scores. Eventually, we ended up not achieving our goal. On the other hand, my experience with a highly effective team was quite different. Unlike the dysfunctional team, this team consisted of members who were willing to compromise on issues that affected the group. The main driving force for this group was our able leader who also led by example. He was fully aware that the only way we were going to achieve our goal is if we consolidated our efforts. To start with, he ensured that all our team assignments were planned and that duties were allocated to the different team members. When assigning duties and responsibilities to team members, the leader fairly did this taking into consideration individual competencies and skills. We also did not set unrealistic expectations, as this was bound to demoralize us if we failed to achieve the goal. Besides, our leader encouraged us to cooperate as this was the o
The Artist: Common Common or Lonnie Rashid Lynn is an American rapper and actor was born in 1972 and first debuted in 1992. He received acclaim from many underground rappers. During his career as a rapper, he joined various hip-hop groups. Many albums released by the artist have been nominated for prestigious awards such as Grammy, and the rapper himself is an Academy Award laureate. In his texts, the theme of drugs, weapons, and police brutality is very clearly traced. The Style/sound/tone The rap of the artist Common is not rude, even though some of the lyrics contain profanity. The artist’s songs are inspiring and powerful. His rap is underground and can be said to be street, as many of the poems cover the theme of the streets and what is happening on them. The mood of the texts is very inspiring, not depressing the listeners. There is a severe tone of the performance because there are important topics such as negative attitudes towards blacks, inequality, and discrimination in his texts. Black America Again ‘There we go, here, here we go again Trayvon will never get to be an older man Black children, they childhood Stole from them Robbed of our names and our language, stole again Who stole the soul from black folk? Same man who stole the land from Chief Black Smoke And made the whip crackle along our back slow And made us go through the back door And raffle black bodies on the slave door Now we slave to the blocks, on’em we spray shots Leaving our own to lay in a box…’ This song’s lyrics show that Trayvon Martin, who was killed by the police, will no longer become an adult and that the entire justice system is dirty and unfair. In addition, the text says that a black person should be proud of who he is and from where he comes. In his text, he calls America Black America. The rhythm of this rap is quite fast, and the words are sharp and jerky. Probably, this artist wanted to show how strong the black people remain and inspire people to be proud of who they are. Messages   * Police officers take the lives of black children who will no longer have a childhood, just as they took the life of Trayvon, who will no longer have an old age.   * Part of the plot of human life is killing each other.   * Government systems are unfair and dirty. The lyrics of the song, although not very diverse, included all the acute and pressing problems of black people. A reflection of many of the issues highlighted by the performer Common can be found in the book, as it also very vividly depicts the lives of black people and the problems they face. Connection 1 Khalil was still a young man but was untimely killed by a police officer. Now he, like many murdered black young men, will have no childhood, no future, nothing, and no one around. Starr is very sad about Khalil’s death because he was her best friend, and his death was absolutely in vain. Khalil’s mother, Brenda, is also in agony over her son’s death. Connection 2 The Starr family home was attacked, and the attackers sought to kill the entire family. They are at home, and Star, watching the news about Khalil,
Introduction Butterflies and moths belong to the order Lepidoptera, which is the second largest in the class of Insecta (Ohno & Otaki, 2015). A caterpillar becomes a butterfly in a series of four stages, which make a complete lifecycle. Each stage is distinct from the others with different processes and goals taking place. In diverse species, the length of each stage differs, but the goals remain the same. For instance, the first stage can take between a few days and several weeks before progressing to the next level. This paper discusses the four stages (egg, larvae, pupa, and adult), which are involved in the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Eggs In the first stage, a female butterfly lays eggs on a leaf. In most cases, the small and round eggs are held together closely. Five days after the eggs have been laid, a small worm-like organism is hatched. This worm-like creature is known as a caterpillar (Johnson, 2017). Caterpillar (Larvae) A larva is a long creature also known as a caterpillar. After being hatched, caterpillars are hungry, and thus they start feeding on leaves starting with the one where the eggs were laid on. One of the characteristics of caterpillars is that they eat all the time, and thus they grow rapidly (Johnson, 2017). Ultimately, the bulging body cannot fit into its skin due to continuous eating. Consequently, the old skin is shed to allow the growth of a new one in a process known as molting (Christiani, n.d.). This shedding of the skin can happen over four times during the growth phase of a caterpillar. The reason for continuous eating at this stage is because the consumed food is stored for later use in adulthoo
