It is interesting how humans and primates have unique abilities to recognize faces within a fraction of a second. Generally, it is observed that primates have a specific area known as the macaque middle face patch for recognizing faces. However, it is not yet known the principles used by cells to analyze faces. In humans, neurons found in the medial temporal lobe (MTL) are known to transmit the presence of a face or an object and amazingly, these neurons have been shown to focus on the firing of letter strings with names. In macaque monkeys, for instance, it has been determined that cells found in the macaque middle face patch are adjusted to the geometry of facial features. This essay focuses on neurons and faces recognition within a fraction of a second. It is observed that primate societies depend on face recognition (Yovel and Freiwald 10). For several years, scientists have researched face recognition principles in macaque monkeys and humans, and in both species, they have identified several brains dedicated to face processing, with advanced details of functional properties (Yovel and Freiwald 10). According to Yovel and Freiwald (10), both species have well-organized systems with numerous face-selective cortical locations in spatial arrays and with specific functional activities. This implies that they have hierarchical and parallel means of processing information. While studies have acknowledged a robust, advanced representation of facial recognition, they still note that how neurons achieve such outcomes in the human brain remains a mystery (Quiroga, Reddy and Kreiman 1102). In monkeys, Quiroga et al. (1102) pointed out that neurons located in the
Data Management Issues The central issue inherent in data management, particularly in the case of Club IT, is that the data will be coming in from multiple sources and rapidly. In addition, there is also the challenge of data analysis which will have to be addressed by a dynamic solution. Data management issues can be identified by taking an overview of the organization’s performance in key revenue and non-revenue generating areas. The establishment of targets and thresholds can help in performance assessment to identify data management issues. I would propose that data management issues are resolved by making use of data management software. The use of data management software will enable the organization to handle different data types and perform comparative analyses through them without running into complexities. Data, Information and Knowledge The relationship between data, information and knowledge is that the three are not individual elements, but are associated through a sequence (Rainer, 2008). Data are raw and unstructured facts. Once data is processed, it is referred to as information; and once information is subjected to evaluation and an inference is derived, that inference is known as knowledge. A knowledge management system enables the organization to make the most of the data it is collecting. It facilitates the organization in achieving its objectives by developing the data so that the organization’s management can identify problems and productivity-sinks through the collected data. A knowledge management system can help enhance productivity by providing the management with an understanding of the performance of the organization’s processes (Rainer, 2008). This allows the organization to comprehend the feasibility of each process and improve the individual process to subsequently improve overall productivity. B2b and B2C Transactions B2B transactions are those transactions that take place between two businesses. While B2C transactions can be found at shopping malls counters every day. Under general circumstances, it is perceived that a B2B transaction will require relatively more sophistication than a B2C transaction. It is typical for an organization to have a limited number of B2B transactions but a continuously varying number of B2C transactions. Using the internet enables the seller to engage in dynamic data collection to facilitate the development of future strategies (Rainer, 2008). The internet also helps stimulate business by enabling the seller to provide more information to the buyers. This understanding applies to both B2B and B2C transactions.
The text under analysis is an attempt to examine several ideas in the sphere of architecture through the evaluation of different meanings during different periods. The author of the text chooses the city of Naples that “rises where the sea meets cliff” (Burgin 104) as the main subject of the word to describe it from a variety of perspectives. The powerful aspect of the text is the necessity to combine architectural terms and ideas with different literary techniques. The author finds it interesting to use as many attributes as possible to describe the city with its buildings “divided into innumerable, simultaneously animated theatres” (Burgin 104). It seems to be a captivating adventure into the city with its own rules, principles, and ideas which are not identified still become crucial for people’s understanding of Naples. In the text, the architecture of the city is analysed in different ways, and one of the most controversial is the idea that the city has the same characteristics as the human body has. To understand the essence of the city, it is necessary to remember Vitruvius and his evaluation of the human form. The point is that the author finds the body as the possibility to generate the building and to prove that the idea of the convergence (Burgin 107) may be observed in various forms. Western Europe has its ambitions and principles which are based on certain economic and political changes; these changes are reflected in many spheres of life, and architecture is not an exception. Space is a significant element in the architecture of Naples, and the author of the text introduces several ideas of how space may define the development of buildings’ creation in the city. For example, he offers to remember the image of a wall made of steel and glass and the contributions of such sophisticated designers like Meyer and Gropius. The peculiar feature of such buildings is that people are provided with a chance to be inside and outside simultaneously. On the one hand, the wall performs the functions of a boundary line; on the other hand, it is hard to define this line in constructions made of steel and glass. Such attitude to the design is a new approach to human improvement and development; it is a new possibility to discover the world and learn from the inside and the outside; it is a chance to think differently without breaking any rules. Finally, much attention is paid to walls and personal space which are crucial for people, still, for some reason, people do not find it necessary to support the idea of seclusion anymore. People suffer because of the inability to control their lives. As a res
Introduction Hamlet is all about the revenge of a son upon knowing his father’s death. However, doing this was not so easy and he had to give up his life in the end. It should be noted that human manipulation is very imminent in this novel particularly through the major characters’ personalities – may it be from the female or the male characters. The issue of human manipulation The issue of human manipulation is greatly highlighted by the major characters of Hamlet. First among the major characters are, of course, Hamlet. Hamlet, in the novel, is known for his cynical humor. This he used as his strong weapon in his mission to know the real culprit of his father’s death. With Hamlet’s ability to voice out his thoughts and feelings in a rather skeptical manner, he was able to identify and determine the real motives of the people around him – distrustful it may seem, but ironically effective on Hamlet’s part. A good example of his cynical humor coupled with undying distrust towards the people working around him is his conversation with Polonius. Hamlet just wanted to know if Polonius is an honest man, but his exact words hit and took Polonius off guard: “Honest my lord? Ay, sir. To be honest, like this world, is to be one man picked out of ten thousand.” Hamlet’s characteristics In the whole story, Hamlet is also able to maintain his being mysterious. Readers can never exactly expect what is going to happen or what Hamlet is thinking and planning. Hamlet tells other characters that there is more to him than meets the eye. When he talks, there seem to be more words that he leaves untold. He always acts or speaks which sounds and looks as if there is something important he is not yet saying and showing, maybe something even he is not aware of. Why Hamlet is about to manipulate He was at the university when he was interrupted by the call about his father’s inexplicable death. With this, he immediately faced various issues and looked at different pieces of evidence proving that his uncle has killed his father but he does not rely solely on the said evidence. He becomes obsessed with proving his uncle’s guilt before trying to act. The standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt” is simply unacceptable to him. This alone proved that Hamlet is using his masculine behavior to manipulate others in a way that no other men or women are capable of doing. He tries to show to his father’s people (and eventually called as his people) that with his manly ways, he could solve the mystery of his father’s death while maintaining good governance. Claudius’ characteristic The second major character is Claudius, who is Hamlet’s major antagonist, and often shows shrewdness and lustfulness as his major traits. He is the conniving king who maintains opposite characteristics from the other male in Hamlet’s life. Claudius’ personality represents deviant mannish behavior. Enough proof of this is the fact that while all other men are preoccupied with ideas of just
SWOT analysis Strengths   * The hospital has been in existence for the past 100 years growing from a small community hospital to its current size   * The hospital is a community icon   * The hospital boasts facilities for tertiary care   * Its geographical location is in a growing city, Chicago   * The hospital is owned by a large university medical centre. The centre is quite progressive in its approach to patient care and staff development.   * The hospital has experienced staff, some of whom have worked in there for many years.   * There is a strong bond between staff members and board of directors Weaknesses   * The hospital lacks nursing managers   * It lacks operation efficiency. The transfer of patients from ED to the clinical units often takes long and occurs at night. The work load is left to the pm shift nurses   * The hospital’s finances are not in order. It has been losing a lot of money recently. It has been receiving rescue funds from other institutions.   * There is a high level of patient dissatisfaction. They made to wait for long to be transferred to clinical units. This also affects the overall output of the hospital.   * The morale of pm nurses is low because they are left to handle huge workloads. The nurses cannot make simple decisions without consulting supervisors. They seem stagnant and non-productive   * The hospital may lack sufficient funds to pay the salaries of nurse managers and to raise their education level. It may also lack the funds to recruit new nurse mangers with higher education levels Opportunities   * The healthcare industry has changed allowing nurse managers to head various care units. The nurses are not under any union and are expected to assume a 24-hour responsibility for patient care. This is a change from the previous system where head nurses and assistant head nurses could only work on an 8 hour shift and they belonged to unions.   * The change to using nurse managers has the potential to improve the internal efficiency of health care facilities. This is in addition to improving the overall functioning of the facilities by increasing the level of productivity and reducing the cost of operation.   * Changes of guard in top leadership give the hospital an opportunity to change the old traditional culture of operation and adapt to a goal oriented organizational culture.   * Since the hospital is under the ownership of a large university medical centre, it is likely to benefit from technological innovation and development. By gaining state of the art facilities for research, the institution can be used as a referral hospital. It can also assume a leadership position in provision of healthcare within its geographical location.   * There is potential partner
Introduction It seems that the healthcare services shove their rules on oral hygiene in children’s faces even before their milk teeth start cutting. The choice of toothpaste nowadays strikes people’s imagination – there is toothpaste for making the teeth whiter, the one for preventing cavities development, the one for making the gums stronger… generally speaking, it is hard to pick the right one. However, comparing and contrasting such toothpaste as Swissdent Extreme Toothpaste and Colgate Optic White Toothpaste according to specific parameters can help figure out which one is better. Swissdent Extreme vs. Colgate Optic White Any toothpaste must offer sufficient protection. According to what the Facial Company states, Colgate Optic White Toothpaste protects the gums “while reducing inflammation” ( Facial Company ). As for stain removal, Colgate toothpaste is considered a perfect solution for “severe tooth discoloration” ( Facial Company ). As one must have expected, each of the toothpaste is ADA-approved, so they have a tie according to this characteristic. Like the Colgate Optic White Toothpaste, the Swissdent Extreme Toothpaste contains fluoride, which is rather easy to explain. Since fluoride and xylitol act as whitening elements, they are used in both kinds of toothpaste to achieve the best whitening effect possible. Also, it is worth mentioning that none of the toothpaste contains sugar. Though the given detail might seem obvious to an average customer, it has been noted that some toothpaste companies ignore the fact that sugar ruins teeth and use sugar to make their toothpaste more popular among small children. Therefore, for Colgate Optic White Toothpaste and Swissdent Extreme Toothpaste reputation, it is essential to stress the absence of sugar in both. It is als
What is Networking and Why is it Important? Networking, as a process, is a long standing and important practice pertaining to the establishment of social connections within a given sphere (Kagan, 2021). This process has always been an intricate and unspoken part of the work environment, allowing people to more effectively work with each other. Networking can be done in person, at special parties, gatherings and meetups, or indirectly, through various services that are used for professional communication. By talking with others, a person gets to better understand their work capability, web of relations with other people in the sphere, and potential avenues of cooperation. The process of engaging in networking is necessary for both successful career advancement and cooperation between people in the same sphere. It opens up new opportunities and maximizes the potential humans can showcase in their trade. Networking in the Digital Age The world of today relies on digital technology in all aspects of live, including, most importantly, communication between people. The use of the online space has revolutionized the way people interact with each other, and changed how w
Definitions Morality has several definitions thus encompassing broader facets in the world’s phenomena. One of the definitions indicates that morality is a code of conduct embraced by a community, an organization, religion, or an individual. This is upon reference to an argument on the righteousness of the act (Gert, 2011). It is a descriptive label where the involved entity has no divergence with its acts or behaviors. When “morality” is utilized to incorporate a demeanor embraced by any definite group, including a community, whether it is different from etiquette, decree, or religion, then its use is in a descriptive sense. It also refers to central stance demonstrated by an individual. Since one can connect a given characteristic of morality to a definite faction of people, it might also submit to a particular person. The second definition is normative in nature and tends to illuminate morality as a conventional aspect but not a confined matter. It is an assortment of behaviors, which are rationally superior and marvelous. Everybody agrees to such acts as virtuous thus worth ratification (Gert, 2011). Equally, morality is something that should necessitate a conventional agreement when encountered. Any act that goes against this definition deems immoral. How authors differ on their definition The disparities noticed amid several authors while considering their descriptions concerning morality emerge due to differing perspectives seized by the author in question. This is evident by the fact that some authors may peg their definition to a particular entity while some consider global rational aspects (Thomasma & Weisstub, 2004). Concurrently, the differences emerge due to issues under discussion by the author. Several authors are motivated by different themes to discuss thus tend to incline their definitions to favor the matter in contention. It is possible to have a specific view on themes concerning specific entities. This means that the author in such a context will never attempt to generalize his/her argument but will rather hit the community or individual in question directly. They will reckon if that particular act they are discerning is considerable to be moral and why. Ultimately, their definition will be based on instances that abreast the act. Conversely, other authors tend to apply exclusive approaches in handling their areas of interest th
Executive Summary The case concerning Reebok and its merger with Adidas is well informed and augments the understanding of the impact that technology has on client behavior in marketing. The paper delves into the details presented by the case, which include competition and consumer behavior. Competition is a detail faced by Reebok from dominant companies like Nike. Moreover, the frequent shifts in client behavior lead to complexities, especially whenever the shifts occur unexpectedly. The paper also analyzes the case and provides theoretical implications supported by Ansoff Matrix, which is in resonance with the contents of the case study. The four components outlined by the matrix resonate with the performance of Reebok and its merger with Adidas. Some of the key issues that emerged from the case include innovation and technology. It became evident from the case that innovation has the power to change the company’s performance. Besides innovation, it also emerged from the case that technology has become a dominant player, which dictates the operations in almost every aspect of modern marketing. Notably, the paper clarified that failure to align a firm with the trends posed by technology is a downturn that can initiate a premature exit from the market. Introduction The increasing competition in the market and the trendy changes demonstrated by technology are some of the major issues evident in the case concerning Rebook and Adidas. It is evident from the case that the current situation of Rebook and Adidas has progressed especially in the face of the rising competition from rivals. Notably, Reebok’s merger with Adidas is one of the positive steps that improved its position and market share. From the case, the growth of Reebok, Nike, and Adidas largely hinges on the innovative strategies that addressed client requirements, market trends, and effective use of technology in communication and product development. The case study is important because it helps companies and scholars to understand the issues that dictate the marketing environment and make timely changes that improve their revenues. The case study is also important as it helps the subject companies, which are Reebok and Adidas, to review their position and performance and make amends with the view of propelling their revenues and market share. It is within this backdrop that the case reviews the performance of Reebok, its merger with Adidas, and its probable future. Discussion Details of the Case Competition and Changes in Client Behavior An assessment of the case study brings details that include competition and the changing consumer behavior to the fore. All through the case, competition is a detail that determines the success rate of Reebok and A
Introduction The objective of the experiment is to determine the influence of salt concentration, potassium chloride (KCl), on the solubility of potassium bitartrate (KHT). Moreover, the experiment aims to compare the effect of magnesium sulfate and glucose on the solubility of KHT. Normally, the solubility of a salt is dependent on the presence of other salts or molecules in a solvent. The solubility product constant offers an equilibrium point of an electrolyte dissolved in a certain solvent. For instance, when a salt named MN dissolves in a solvent, it forms a solution with its ions and solid particles at an equilibrium point called product solubility constant. For example, the product solubility constant (Ksp) for salt MN(s) is [M + ] [N – ]. MN(s) ⇋ M + (aq) + N – (aq) Solids and liquids do not form part of equilibrium expressions because they do not participate in chemical reactions of ionic formation. The concentration of solids does not influence the concentrations of cations and anions in a given solution. So long as an adequate amount of solid is present in a solvent, the concentration of ions would be dependent on the solubility rather than the concentration of solid. Since the concentration of liquids is very high when compared to solids, it does not influence the concentration of ions. In this case, the experiment focuses on the solubility of KHT, which is a salt that forms K + and KH – ions when it dissolves in appropriate solvents. KHT(s) ⇋ K + (aq) + HT – (aq) When KHT dissolves in water or solutions, it generates HT – , which is an anion that forms a weak acid. In this view, titration of HT – with potassium hydroxide provides the number of moles of KTH, and thus, its solubility in a given solvent. A large equilibrium constant means that a solute is very soluble in a solvent, whereas a small equilibrium constant implies that a solute has low solubility in a solvent (Boikess 53). Essentially, large and small equilibrium constants show that products and reactants dominate a solution respectively. The product of cations and anions of a dissolved salt represents the solubility product constant of a certain solute. Comparatively, molar solubility is the maximum amount of solute in moles that can dissolve in a liter of solvent at the point of saturation. According to Le Chatelier’s principle, a disturbance of equilibrium causes a reaction to shifting right or left to stabilize the system (Kotz, Treichel, Townsend, and Treichel 481). Thus, the addition of reactants or reduction of products would cause the equilibrium to shift to the right, whereas the addition of products or reduction of reactants would cause the equilibrium to shift to the left. The titration method enables the determination of the solubility of KHT in various solvents. Based on a known volume and concentration of solutions, the titration method allows the calculation of moles of an unknown solution. Since HT – a weak acid, phenolphthalein
