The composer of the song must have been Michael Praetorius. This composition has got some specific elements of oratorio and operand concerto. These are the most important and significant features which Michael Praetorius utilized in his other compositions as well. As a matter of fact, the opera element is observed in the middle section of the song which is referred to as the arias, whereby musicians display expressively their feelings in the song as well as reveal their attitude to it . The listeners are easily moved by the arias’ section as they relate to situations and similar events expressed in the song. The concerto element is evident from the unity of the instruments and the voices .The harmony represented in this piece is considered to be influenced by religion. This sphere of life was very important and influential that time, that is why it defined the concertos works with grouped soloists who widely used the harpsichord and other instrument to create the song effect. Oratorio element dominates the song since the composer put emphasis on religion as the subject matter. The oratorio element distinguishes this song from staged operas since it does not incorporate the acting section. The theme of the song is highly relevant to the religious populace as it enhances a connection of the believers with their supreme being. The song, initially played only in religious grounds, has attracted a greater population as persons learn to embrace religion now. Songs are among the major communicative devices being used in modern ages to educate and pass messages as they are entertaining and have greater power of the spoken words. The emotions in this song are vividly expressed allowing the listeners to connect with the song. The harmonious integration of tones and the theme ensures the listeners attention and focus is drawn towards the song. The rhythmic flow is cannot be easily predicted increasing the listeners anticipation of the progress and desire to keep listening for an in-depth understanding of the content. The qualities of this composition similar to those of Bach and Handel pieces are; change in intonation and the utilization of the homophonic structure in creation of the song texture. George Frideric Handel widely studied the styles of song compositions and advocated greatly on the compositions of operas and oratorios, elements evident in the study compositions. Johann Sebastian Bach was greatly involved in religious composition structures and had great harmonics and melodies. Bach and Handel are among the major forces behind the success of the Baroque music which was used as a benchmark to measure the effectiveness of proceeding compositions. The composition of study has greatly relied on the works of Bach and Handel especially in change of tones and incorporation of the homophonic structure and spectral fusion of sounds. The tones in the study compositions vary symmetrically from the first cadence to the last cadence where a prolonged period marks the end of the composition. Similar to the works of Bach and Handel, the study composition has utilized the homophonic structure to enhance the texture of the s
Introduction The existence of a strong economy in any nation is associated with the policy environment that the administration has put in place. Tourism policy determines the performance of this industry. Hall (2008) states that the study of policy within a specific area of economy enables researchers and planners to understand the policy decisions and their impacts, provide possible solutions, and help readers to understand the interests and values that were incorporated in the policy formulation. The study of tourism policy is an impotent field because it allows researchers to understand the determinants of performance in tourism in a given area and the factors that influence this performance. The tourism industry is under tight government control in most nations. Thus, the study of tourism policy is a simple means of studying the administrative structures in a given nation. The development of a working policy can be done at the national, local, and provincial levels. According to Kerr (2003), these three levels should all be involved for an effective policy. An example of a nation with a tourism policy in place is Luxembourg. This report takes a brief look at the country and tourism and planning policies that exist in this nation. The report also provides a critique of tourism and planning policies in Luxembourg. Luxembourg Luxembourg is a small nation in Europe that has a significant diversity in culture. It has undergone a series of changes in the past few decades. The country is landlocked, with its location being in the midst of three countries, namely Belgium, France, and Germany. Therefore, Luxembourg does not have access to the sea. Hence, it has no beaches or coastal hotels for tourists. However, this does not mean that the nation does not have its fair share of local and international tourism. With a population of just over 500,000 people, the country is one of the least populated in Europe (Blanke & Chiesa 2013). Luxembourg has had the highest demographic growth within the EU during the last decade, thus indicating its wealth within the region (Blanke & Chiesa 2013). Luxembourg is approximately half the size of Dubai, with a population a number of times smaller. The country covers 2600 square kilometres in surface area. In 2011, Luxembourg had a Gross Domestic Product of $59.6 billion with a GDP per capita of $80,558.8 for the same year (Blanke & Chiesa 2013). The real GDP growth for 2011 was 1.6%. This figure has continued to improve over the last two years (Blanke & Chiesa 2013). The percentage of the population over 5 years in 2012 was 14.1%, with the unemployment rate for the same year being 6.1 % (Tourists in Figures 2013). Tourism is a major economic pillar in Luxembourg. It contributed 8.3% of the GDP in 2009 (Tourists in Figures 2013). The nation has diverse tourist attractions, with its people being hospitable and kind. The main attractions in the country include the coast, the Historic cities, Flemish countryside, and the Walloon region (Tourists in Figures 2013). The main towns of Luxembourg are Luxembourg and Esch-sur
What is the blues? It seems that the answer to this question can be easily found while examining its peculiarities as the music style, but this issue remains to be one of the most controversial questions which are associated with the blues as the music and philosophy. Moreover, the attempts to define the blues as a notion gave the start for the discussions of the blues as the expression of the African-Americans’ identity and the possibility to play this music by white people. Thus, can white people play the blues? To examine the problem and give the reliable answer, it is necessary to pay attention to the blues as the cultural phenomenon and to its ethical significance. In his work “The Blues as Cultural Expression”, Phillip Jenkins gives the answer to the question and discusses the blues from several approaches to it as the cultural and aesthetical phenomenon. Jenkins states that it is necessary to differentiate between two understandings of the blues in order to be right while answering this provocative question. Thus, he accentuates the blues as “the cultural expression” and as “the musical form” [1] . When people speak about the blues as the cultural expression it is important to focus on the fact that white people cannot play the blues because they do not have those national identity and historical, social, and cultural experience and background which the African-Americans have. However, when we speak about the musical form it is possible to state that “the blues is really nothing more than sound patterns or forms that require only the ability to manipulate the instruments (including the voice) in the right way” [2] . That is why white people can follow the blues techniques and play it. Nevertheless, is it a real blues? In their work “Even White Folks Get the Blues”, Douglas and Nathaniel Langston argue the first one of Jenkins’s principles and support the second statement about the blues as the possibility of white people to play the blues as the musical form [3] . Their argument is based on the idea that it is unnecessary for people to be black, if they come from the South and feel the blues as the African-Americans do. Moreover, the blues can exist in the world of white people as the specific form known as the white blues [4] . That is why Jenkins’s thesis can be considered as rather controversial. The blues is the music which traditionally reflects the feelings and emotions of the African-Americans in relation to their state in the country, the peculiarities of their living and visions of their life. Thus, the main ideas of the blues are closely connected with the issues of justice and liberties in the society. That is why it is possible to discuss the blues in the context of social and ethical significance. To understand this significance, it is useful to refer to Michael Sandel’s ideas about social liberties which reflect some which are typical for the blues. Social justice can be based on individual rights and the freedom of choice [5] . This idea is close to the ethics of the blues because the blues is the music of freedom of will, choice, and desires which are not limited by restrictive social norms. It
The theory of state responsibility relates to laws and principles that control when and how a country should be liable for a breach of international law. DJ Harris shows that the theory of state responsibility is general and not specific to any particular obligation. Thus, it only applies when a country breaches provisions of international law and set legal consequences of such acts. From this observation, we can see that provisions of state responsibility are secondary laws. The theory of state responsibility seems to be general and independent from the main international law. In this regard, we can look at state responsibility under obligations that make an act wrongful before international law when we can attribute acts to private persons and officials of a state. In addition, we can also look at liability defence and subsequent consequences of such acts. DJ Harris shows actions of private individuals and state may be difficult to differentiate. However, the Draft Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts (Draft Articles) have changed the state responsibility. Draft Articles classify wrongful acts as where the state is liable under international law, and involve a breach of international obligation. A country can make reparation that can cover compensation, restitution, and satisfaction as forms of remedies. However, remedies also differ based on a given forum, such as UN, ICJ, WTO, and ICC among others. Treatment of Aliens The ILC does not allow ill treatment of people irrespective of their nationality. This is the basis of aliens, state responsibility, and the international minimum standard for the treatment aliens. We must understand that states are not under obligation to admit aliens to their countries. However, if a state allows aliens to enter its territory, then it must treat them in a civilised way. A state can breach international law if it inflicts injury on aliens even if such aliens are outside its territory. Under ILC primary rules, a state cannot perform such acts in another state without authority of the latter. Under ILC, any failure to act within provisions of the minimum international standard calls for international responsibility of the defendant state, and state of the injured alien to apply its diplomatic right to protection. In other words, a state may use diplomatic means against another state so as to seek redress or compensation. Negotiations, arbitration, or judicial settlements have been useful in such cases. It also crucial to note that the defendant country does not owe the injured alien any duty, but it owes the country of the alien. The idea is that a country experiences a loss in a situation where any of its citizens suffer injuries. Thus, the claimant country can make, ignore, or abandon a claim. In addition, the claimant state can also accept any value of compensation and has no obligation to pay the injured national. Thus, the injured citizen is at the mercy of his or her country. Imputability Imputability maintains that a state is only liable for its own acts or omissions. Characters in this case are government officials. Thus, this does not account fo
Brand Personality Brand personality is defined as the personification of brand characteristics. In other words, brand personality refers to the act of giving human characteristics to a particular brand. In the business world, brand personality is highly beneficial in enhancing reception of a given product (Rakocevic 2011). It should be noted that businesses will always associate the most valuable human characteristics in their target market with their brand. For example, a company producing products meant for men will give the products masculine characteristics. Brand personality is aimed at increasing market for products as well as differentiating the product from others. Brand personality is a brand behavior manifested through people representing the brand, and advertising methods as well as packaging (Rakocevic 2011). Kellogg’s represents its brand as a socially responsible product, which is committed to enhancing everybody’s health in society. In addition, Kellogg’s seeks to manifest its product as a commodity that highly cares about the future of the society and will, therefore, put young people’s affairs in the forefront. To achieve this, Kellogg’s funds breakfast clubs in various schools. In this regard, Kellogg’s brand is also depicted as a product which does not make profits per se, but ensures that everybody eats breakfast. Kellogg’s invites its employees to visit various breakfast clubs so as to appeal to people that its products are a must have during breakfast (Rakocevic 2011). Furthermore, the product of Kellogg’s is depicted as being very supportive in enhancing the understanding levels through the campaigns that seek to associate it with the research according to which the breakfast is beneficial to children. The Communication Concept In simple terms, communication is defined as the flow of information from one entity to another. However, the communication concept refers to all processes through which an individual or a group of people can induce change in the minds of people. It includes both written and oral messages as well as pictures, human behavior and sometimes packaging of products (Chaturvedi 2004). The communication process involves the actions of ensuring that the message is received by the target audience without its meaning being distorted. It should be noted that the communication concept also includes choosing the right communication channels for the target audience (Chaturvedi 2004). Furthermore, it entails the collection of feedback from the target audience to evaluate the effectiveness of the message. Kellogg’s campaign aimed at both the internal and external audience. Employees have access to the intranet, and in many organizations, they are actually encouraged to peruse through the postings daily. As a result, intranet posting which Kellogg’s chose is the most convenient way of conveying the message to the employees. On the oth
Abstract The main aim of this research is to examine leadership localization in Saudi Arabia and help in the understanding on its effect on business growth in the region. Various governments in the gulf region have put policies in place to enforce leadership localization. For instance, in Saudi Arabia the government gives sanctions that organizations that do not comply will not receive government contracts. Measures have been put in place to monitor the rate of localization in the region. For example, in Saudi Arabia, the Nitaaqat program that was initiated in 2011classifies companies according to their observed rates of saudization. Companies are granted privileges according to their rates of localization. Future research can use quantitative research and probability sampling to generalize the findings to the entire Saudi Arabia nation and the extensive gulf region. Introduction Countries in the gulf region experienced rapid economic growth around 1960-2000, approximately about 4.1 percent in Saudi Arabia (Pakkiasamy 2004:192). Research indicates that the rate of population growth is slow compared to economic growth (Dyer 2006:71). Literature indicates that there are about 10 million foreigners in the Gulf Region who make a large percentage of the workforce that is approximately 90 percent of the employees in Qatar and Saudi Arabia (Abdalla 2006:15). President Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan in his speech in 2003 mentioned that the imbalance created by a high percentage of foreigners in Saudi Arabia posed a great problem that threatened the society’s stability and the future generations (Mellahi 2006:123). In oil and gas corporations, the need for leadership localization is to put an end to dependence on foreign experts (Lee and Larwood 1983:660). For example, the formation of Aramco in Saudi Arabia and its development to become a multinational oil corporation is a clear indication of the success that can be realized from localization and self-reliance (General Statistics Department KSA 2007:53). The localization program is also meant to fight the problem of unemployment which is high despite continuous economic growth. Unofficial estimates put Saudi Arabia unemployment rate at 15 percent, out of which 35 percent range between 16 to 24 years. Aramco has been successful in the practice of recruiting and retaining local employees at work. The firm was established 75 years ago and
Stakeholders To conduct the appropriate research, it is of great importance to identify focal stakeholders. First, a paramount goal in education and advocacy of patients would be played by a nurse practitioner. Being specialists in disease management, they would increase the level of disease literacy and self-management in patients with kidney disease. A specialization of Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) in the organization focuses on both advanced clinical and theoretical knowledge to enhance the quality of health care (Gallagher-Ford, 2011). It is especially necessary for kidney disease patients as they are at risk of developing complications. Meanwhile, the role of APNs would deepen and structure the research for the project. Skills and experience of APNs’ are rather important in problem solving and evidence-based decision making. Therefore, they are also to conduct studies to remain aware of the current situation in the corresponding area. A Registered Nurse (RN) is the second essential stakeholder in the organization. RNs are expected to provide continuous control of patients reporting to the corresponding specialists (Smolowitz et al., 2015). Therefore, their role would considerably influence the project. Speaking of stakeholders, it is necessary, however, to specify the role of a “champion”. According to recent research, effective championing provided by organizational change champions could significantly contribute to the successful implementation of the project (Shaw et al., 2012). In particular, a nurse director might be regarded as a champion due to a rather responsible job position. Precisely speaking, all the work of nurses depends on correctly managed daily nurse activities. As far as professional director nurse works with the senior medical staff, the work of middle and junior staff depends on them as well. The key responsibilities of the nurse director involve the rational organization of personnel operation and the provision of timely implementation of treatment (Milton et al., 2009). Also, they provide training for middle and junior medical staff at the hospital. In turn, adequate monitoring and coordination guaranteed by the nurse director lead to efficient health care delivery. Seeing the above characteristics, it becomes evident that the nurse director’s role would impact the project. The change theory of 7-S developed by McKinsey would be utilized to implement the research due to its comprehensive nature. Potential Barriers The costly treatment presents the first potential barrier to achieving better outcomes in patients. Hogg et al. (2016) pinpoint that kidney treatment outcome including CVD, a progression to kidney failure, or ESRD might have a high cost. At that, the above complications lead to deteriorating effects. To prevent these complications, it is crucial to ensure continuous monitoring and timely response to any changes in patients. Furthermore,
Introduction When parents are incarcerated, children tend to face difficulties associated with the lack of close relationship with their parents. As a result, some of these children face trauma due to the separation. Other problems include anger, depression, fear and anxiety. Incarceration also leads to a cause where the child is moved from one care giver to another, which results to behavior change among them. The problem is more severe when the children’s mothers are incarcerated, because the relationship between them is broken. At times, these children result in failure to withdraw emotionally, and some even fail to go to school. At the time of arrest, policemen do not care to ask about the children’s fate, or what they are going to do with their lives once they lose their parents to incarceration. The same can be said about the judges and agencies involved in correction, because normally, no one raises these questions. The fact that there are no many agencies involving themselves in collection of this information means that there is unclear knowledge of the number of children who face this problem. The importance of families and parents is undeniable as at times, it affects the social goals, and is a preventive measure of delinquency behaviors among children. The purpose of the study The number of children who have their parents incarcerated as per report released in the recent years shows an alarming number. In year 2007, it was estimated the children who had their parents incarcerated was over 1.7 million, which represented about 2.3 percent of all the children population in America. Between years 1991 to year 2007, it is estimated that the number of children who had parents incarcerated increased by 77 percent (Christian, 2009). During the same year, the percentage increased in mothers, which was about 131 percent. This paper tends to look at the effects those children who have incarcerated parent’s face, and provides a solution to improve the situation of these children. Hypothesis H (0) Children of incarcerated parents are affected by incarceration of their parents. H (1) Children of incarcerated parents are not affected by incarceration of their parents. Literature review Race and age of the children The data obtained from the reports released in 2007 had a relationship between the race and the age of the children. The report is also clear to show there lacks relationship between the incarcerated parents and race in reference to mothers. The incarcerated parents of white children showed that in every 1 child whose parent was incarcerated, there were 110 of the white population who were not. Half of the children that had their parents incarcerated were 9 years or below, while thirty two percent of them were between the years 10 -14 years. The rest of the percentage was between years 15- 17 years (Council of Justice, 2006). Inca
