Upon considering the idea of leadership, a clear visualized impression that provides a parsimonious and rational alternative to the problem of collective action has steered up the revolutionary activities. Revolutions develop choices that are most conceptual and rational in their simple utilities to present an exogenous short-term shock within the affected country. In the long run of the event the revolutionary collective action results in relation to socioeconomic point of view. Leadership in this case is an element of great significance especially when it comes to dealing with both challenges associated with revolutionary collective action and those that are oriented to public good. The term revolution in this context does not give an implication of the long lasting consequences in the entire process. Instead, it reflects the success of anti-regime forces to surpass and overthrow the current ruling regime in any affected country. The revolutionary process that occurred in Latin America under the influence of social movements suitably cites the most significant approach of the collective action under the influence of various challenges. Under the influence of newly created societal movements, collective actions created were based on the grassroots organizations in collaboration with both national and local mobilizations. Taking an example of countries like Brazil and Bolivia, social movements challenged political intrigues conduct in those countries and the regions bordering them as suggested by Gilbert (498). The affiliation of their militaries and growth generated an action of new repertoires through raising the opportunities of forming the rule from below. This idea has been basically achieved through abandoning of the traditional ancient parties that were formed in 20 th centuries thus developing participatory and authoritative political parties. The mentioned countries have effectively maximized political space by means of altering political powe
Beauty can be considered one of the most powerful and most disputable forces that have always inspired people, moved them, and preconditioned serious changes in societies. The importance of the given phenomenon can be evidenced by the fact that there have always been multiple attempts to determine beauty and introduce a sample that could be followed (Sartwell). However, all these attempts failed because of the changeable and relative character of this notion. Every period in the history of humanity has its own vision of beauty. Ancient Greek statues, drawings of the renaissance, or modern photos try to express this idea and emphasize the visual appeal. However, beauty is not just lines and forms, as it includes many other dimensions. Attempts to determine this phenomenon also resulted in the appearance of the idea that a truly beautiful person should combine both physical attraction and a rich inner world to be appreciated by peers. In such a way, the term becomes broader, as only shapes of the body cannot suffice and provide a clear answer to the question. In other words, beauty can also be found in the character of a person, his/her actions, beliefs, attitudes, and thoughts. That is why one can conclude that the concept of beauty is one of the most sophisticated ideas that remain disputable even today. Considering the information provided above, it can be determined as a set of shapes of the body, forms, and lines, along with the inner qualities and peculiarities of the character that are considered attractive at the moment by the majority of society members. However, this definition remains extremely simple and relative as it does not take into account other dimensions and millions of meanings peculiar to this very phenomenon.

Paul & Dewey (2006) defined depression as a health condition which is characterised with intense feelings of low mood or sadness. Even though these are common feelings in human life that are likely to come as a result of normal reactions to matters of life, depression is much more serious since it interferes with people’s lives in a negative manner (p. 285). Globally, the incidence of depression tends to be high. However, the prevalence of the condition varies greatly throughout the world, with some countries having higher rates than others. Focusing on the Australian context, Slade and others (2009) stated that depression is among the top three individual health problems in Australia together with stroke and heart attack. The incidence of the disease in the country is observed to have risen over the years to reach very high levels today (p. 594). According to the Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing, conducted in 2014, there are around one million people in Australia suffering from depression today. In fact, depression has a high lifetime-prevalence where it is observed that one in seven Australians will experience depression in their lifetime. Depression triggers serious economic as well as social impacts on Australians, as a result of the management costs and the many suicide deaths that would tend to arise from the condition. Even though depression can occur at any age of life, it is very common with the elderly people who are highly exposed to most of the factors contributing to the condition. There are many factors that can trigger depression for all age groups, but some of the common causes would include things such as illnesses, bereavement, loss of independence, and exposure to brutal life conditions. People having depression may be identified with feelings of sadness, loss of interest in common matters of life, hopelessness, emptiness, and despair, among other symptoms (Barney et al., 2006). This condition can interfere with people’s ability to eat, rest, work, participate in studies, and interact with others. The prognosis for people suffering from depression is often not favourable. In most cases, the deep hopelessness experienced in depression would make victims see suicide as the only way to escape from the brutalities of the condition (Sanchez, 2001). Also, depression can result in permanent insanity and non-fatal disability. Apart from the extreme outcomes highlighted above, victims are also likely to adopt bad behaviours that can be characterised with things such as homicidal violence, drug abuse, and irritability.

Introduction The purpose of the research is to determine the most effective program for managing pressure ulcers between adequate nutrition programs and malnutrition primary prevention. Scholars are still not certain about the most effective method for the treatment of pressure ulcers. This will be an experimental study in which Stage III pressure ulcer patients will participate in the study. One group will belong to an adequate nutrition program while the other will participate in a malnutrition primary prevention program. The researcher will compare their pressure ulcer status at the beginning of the study to their status eight weeks after the intervention. The intervention that causes the greatest reduction in pressure sores will be the most effective program. Procedure The first process in the experiment is an assessment of the medical history of the patient. This will include age, gender, smoking status, renal function, race, pressure ulcer history, and nature of the ailment. Thereafter a physical examination of the patient must occur by looking at aspects that could alter healing like systematic infection or perfusion of the patient. Laboratory tests will be necessary as well as vascular assessment of the ulcers that are in the extremities. An analysis of patients will occur to establish whether they have an increased risk of developing new pressure ulcers (De Laat et. al., 2005). It will be imperative to focus on those individuals who have minimal chances of a recurrence of other pressure ulcers. Pressure-relieving methods, as well as pain-relieving methodologies, need to be recorded too. Even the condition of bed surfaces will be noted. Care will be taken to ensure that similar conditions exist for the research subjects to minimize confounding factors. The patients’ ulcers will also be assessed after recording all the relevant, historical, physical, and care-related characteristics. As mentioned earlier, two methods will be used; one is the PUSH instrument and the other is PSST. This two-pronged approach was necessary to mitigate the risks inherent in relying on one instrument. The PSST will make up for the lack of precision in the PUSH tool (Pillen et. al., 2009). During measurement, all patients must be placed in a consistent and neutral position where visibility of the wound is uncompromised. In the PUSH tool, the researcher will assess the following: wound size, exuda
There has been a growing concern on the role of private and pubic partnerships in intelligence issues in the United States. Evidence from research studies indicates that the Intelligence Community is rapidly diverting its focus towards the incredible input of partnership between the public and private sectors in dealing with intelligence matters. In other words, such a partnership is capable of eliminating challenges such as poor coordination and management of intelligence information within the Intelligence Community. Even though the partnership can aid the community in addressing emerging weaknesses, how well has the private sector been represented in key issues regarding the aspect of intelligence contracting? Can the entire Intelligence Community acknowledge the momentous role played by the public and private sector partnerships? These are some of the concerns that should be addressed by key players in the community in order to realize the anticipated benefits. After careful review of literature, Hansen (2014, 58) confirms that the intensity of public and private partnership in intelligence affairs is below par owing to poor understanding of the underlying issues and lack of adequate research on the importance of the partnership. Needless to say, main actors in the Intelligence Community should go through a simple education program on the importance of public and private partnerships. Hence, we may not ignore the aspects of capacity building and training of employees working within the Intelligence Community. Some critics of the Intelligence Community argue that such a partnership is a waste of time. Worse still, it is financially demanding. Hansen (2014, 59) observers that “the practice of intelligence contracting has grown in an inefficient manner as has the post-9/11 capability surge of the intelligence community in general”. From this assertion, it is evident that there are numerous benefits associated with public and private partnerships. For instance, operations of the whole Intelligence Community require the input of both the public and private sectors so that adequate data for analysis may be obtained from the community level. Despite the few drawbacks, research studies elaborate that numerous benefits have already been gained because of the support offered by the partnership towards the operations of the Intelligence Community. Hence, the public sector has been supporting the community through contractors. It is also apparent that the Intelligence Community will be motivated to concentrate on intelligence matters owing to the watchdog role played by the private sector (Trim 2001, 51). In addition, allowing the participation of the private sector in intelligence matters may assist in minimizing cost overruns and wastage of other vital resources. As a matter of fact, poor public contractors have been contributing towards such losses for a long time. Contracting under the public and private sector partnerships will indeed assist in incorporating intelligence professionals who have been locked out of the service for several decades (Hansen 2014
Introduction Japanese culture is commonly perceived as the anime culture. Therefore, it is associated with several visible symbols. One of them is nosebleed as a symbol of sexual excitement that is a feature of male characters seeing someone physically attractive. In fact, love and sex are two common plotlines of any Japanese anime, even science fiction ones. It is commonly associated with an emotional urge. A symbol of sexual excitement is always universal – nosebleed in male characters. For instance, consider the following scenario: In summer, the temperature was high. Hundreds and thousands of people came from all over the country to the beach, and they relaxed by soaking up the sand, sunlight, and sea. A group of young men were chatting and laughing about the current news. At that moment, a beautiful and gorgeous lady passed by them. They immediately stopped to stare at the woman, and then their face turned red, and their nose started to bleed. This is the spot, which the character’s nosebleed when they get excited, especially sexual excitement that can easily be found in the Japanese anime. The scenario mentioned above is a common plot of numerous anime movies. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that nosebleed is the usual representation of sexual excitement and arousal. Still, it is challenging to find out what is the motivation behind such a symbol of demonstrating interest in one’s physical attractiveness and sexual excitement. Therefore, the main objective of the paper at hand is to study peer-reviewed articles and academic literature to conclude whether there are any real causes for such a reaction to physical beauty. Before reviewing the literature, I argue that nosebleed is sexual iconography in anime that is widely acceptable in Japanese movie culture. The research will be concerned with the following issues: reasons of a nosebleed, the existence of this phenomenon in real life, sexual representation in Japanese anime, and the overall connection between anime and Japanese culture. The Reason of the Nosebleed Nosebleed is a common symbol in Japanese anime. Moscato (2017) states that is associated with environmental changes and a significant impact of the surrounding environment on a character. Nevertheless, in anime, the most recognizable cause of nosebleed is sexual arousal. To obtain a better apprehension of this phenomenon and understand why it is a frequently met symbol in Japanese anime,
Introduction Gender refers to the state of being either male or female, which is distinguished by factors such as gender roles, social and economic status, perceptions, and ideals and values (Lee, 2005). Gender has been described as a psycho-sociocultural aspect. In contrast, sex is a biological concept that is determined by factors such as hormones and genetic make-up (Lee, 2005). Gender is also understood as evaluation of behavior based on individual perceptions and societal expectations. Gender identity is defined as personal concepts and perceptions of self that are based on gender (Lee, 2005). This paper will explore determination of gender identity based on connections between hormones and behavior. In addition, it will scrutinize how biological and environmental factors affect gender identity. It will also explore current arguments on gender identity. Interaction between hormones and behavior Research studies have revealed that hormones have great influence on behavior. For example, hormonal processes contribute towards hostile and aggressive behaviors (Lee, 2005). Studies associate certain behaviors with certain hormones. For example, testosterone is associated with aggressiveness. Studies on effect of hormones on behavior are based on the net effect of hormones on emotions. They cause varying level of moods or behavior depending on their concentrations. For example, in adults, estrogen causes positive moods while lack of estrogen causes depressive moods (Lee, 2005). This is the same effect testosterone has on moods and behaviors. Some hormones affect behavior directly while others affect behavior indirectly. For example, hormones that determine body size affect behavior indirectly. Big-sized people are domineering and usually rough towards small-sized people. Abnormal activity of glands can also influence behavior directly. Hormones respond by combining with specific cell receptors to form behavior. Puberty and prenatal periods are the most critical periods in human development that hormones have the greatest impact (Lee, 2005). During the prenatal period, any anomaly in production of hormones results in anomalies in gender identity. For example, a study conducted on 25 androgenized girls found out that even though they were raised as girls, they exhibited masculine attitudes, sexuality, and grooming (Lee, 2005). After the development of Money’s theories on gender identity, several studies followed that established connections between gender identity and environmental factors. Current arguments on sexual identity Current arguments on sexual identify claim tha
Executive summary This report has been developed to communicate the differences between solvency risk and liquidity risk of a bank. There are details that indicate the relationship that exists between the solvency risk and liquidity risk with the credit risk. This report has the details of the effects which credit risk has on the solvency and liquidity risk. This report also has indicated the dynamic provisioning and how it can be used by a bank to minimize the solvency risk. The ways in which the solvency risk can be controlled by proper utilization of internal systems +have been covered. There are also ways in which the financial regulators have been put in place so as to control the solvency risk. The problems also which affect the effective regulation and control of the solvency risk in a bank have also been indicated. The aim of this report is to identify the meaning of the solvency risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, dynamic provisioning, and the effective control of the solvency risk besides the problems which the bank encounters in the process. The solvency and liquidity risk have been discussed with reference to the possible threats that it poses to a bank. They are likely to affect its survival. Though the financial risks that a company experience ranges from one variety to the other, they are related in one way or another. There are therefore varied measures and diverse systems that are likely to be applied in a bid to deal with the different types of risks. How these measures and systems are put in place so as to control the financial risks has been discussed in this report. Solvency risk and liquidity risk The solvency risk is a situation where the bank is not in a position to meet its debt obligations. It relates to the poor performance of the bank which leads to the bank being declared bankrupt. The solvency of the bank relates to the lack of the ability to settle all its financial debts such as to their creditors, and customers’ interests on the deposit, among others. Liquidity on the other hand is the lack of cash by the company to meet its financial obligation. This is the inability of a bank to settle its expenses. This is the ability of the bank to settle out their financial obligations there and there without any external borrowings. This mostly affects the short-term liabilities. The bank’s ability to settle out its entire obligation refers to the bank’s good performance and credit worth even from other financial institutions. The liquidity risk is established as the funding crisis of the bank. This is the inability of the bank to fund any kind of its liabilities and any expansion projects. The solvency risk and the liquidity risk are closely related and can be handled well by effective financial management. When a company is not in a position to meet its financial obligations, whether debts or expense, then it’s at risk of collapsing or rather being declared bank
English as the Global Language: Good for Business, Bad for Literature is a thought-provoking article by Jacques Mélitz (n.d), which aims to reveal the consequences of having English as a global language. The author’s main purpose in writing the article is to inform the reader about the possible negative effects of making English a global language. While the author points out the positive effects the move might have on business, he also draws attention to the numerous negative impacts it poses on imaginative works of literature. This text attempts to respond to a situation in which the dominance of the English language poses a real threat to world literature. If the English language took over world publishing, translations in other languages would reduce significantly because they would become commercially impracticable. This means that only the authors writing in English would have the prospect of attaining classic status. In addition, only English authors would manage to reach a world audience. The author is an economics specialist at Centre de Recherche en Economie et Statistique. He also works as a researcher at the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR). CEPR comprises a group of over 450 Research Fellows based in different locations in Europe who work together to complete various research assignments. The organization assists its researchers to develop projects, secure financial support, manage them and publicize their results (Mélitz, n.d). Research at the organization may cover various issues including business policies and open economy macroeconomics. Besides, the research may explore the economic changes affecting various parts of Europe, as well as regionalism affecting the global economy. This information helps to establish the author’s credibility because it shows his affiliation to a reputable organization. Mélitz also establishes credibility by including numerous examples and facts to support his arguments. The strategies are valuable because they make the article interesting and compelling. For instance, the author has provided several facts indicating how English dominance with regard to translations has continued to increase over the years. The facts play a critical role in the text because they help to validate the author’s arguments (Mélitz, n.d). It is evident that the author does not support the move to make English a global language, mainly because it is likely to have an adverse effect on the development of literature. As the autho
Talking about KARLEE’s reflection on Deming’s philosophy, the first point that should be noted is that the manufacturer was aimed at constant improvement. Evans and Lindsay (2008) point out that KARLEE’s administration applied the best practices of other companies to increase its productivity. Deming emphasizes that a company should continuously improve by all possible means. Additionally, the philosophy of Deming accentuates the necessity of being loyal to the customer. In turn, KARLEE supports customers via customer service 24 hours a day (Evans and Lindsay, 2008). This practice contributes to the creation of customers loyalty towards the company. The core of Juran’s philosophy was the emphasis on the organizational-level approach to quality. This implies that the management of quality starts at the highest positions of the company and spreads downwards. KARLEE’s administration conducted reviews of performance and participated in the development of projects (Evans and Lindsay, 2008). From this, it could be inferred that the initiative to control the quality indeed started at the highest levels of administration. Additionally, Juran, as well as Deming, believed that any organization must continuously improve. This way, the previously mentioned KARLEE’s strategy of borrowing competitors best practices also reflects Juran’s concepts. Reference List Evans, J. and Lindsay, W.
