Overview In RAD, various connection procedures can help in expanding the information flow. One such connection procedure is the TCP model. The TCP model is also defined as the Transmission Control Protocol. This model mainly works in the transport layer and has several segments that help in the delivery of services. The model uses IP to encapsulate the segments that are common in the transport layer. The TCP model is connection oriented because of existence of specific and unique connection procedures. UDP is another procedure that can be applied in networking. This model makes use of minimum protocols to send messages across various locations. The two models can be applied in networking to provide reliable interconnections and enhance communication and information flow. TCP TCP is encouraged for data streams that are required to be delivered in their original form. It is recommended for sensitive information as it is one of the most secure procedures. In this procedure, each of the streams is handled independently and this ensures information flow is secure and reliable (RAD Data Communications 1). There is a socket pair in the transmission control protocol that helps in identifying each node and port with the relevant information. The transmission control protocol also has a timer, which ensures that data arrives at the right time and to the designated destination. Transmission control protocol makes use of a certain function known as the retransmission timeout. This time out function helps in identification of the round trip time of the data and determining whether the data that was sent arrived in its original form without any loss or modification (RAD Data Communications 1). The presence of the retransmission timeout makes the transmission control protocol secure and the best method to transport sensitive data. UDP The UDP model is another procedure that is important in the realization of networking objectives. UDP is applied in the IP procedures because it provides multiplexing and demultiplexing services. This makes it very reliable and easy to use. It is one of the simplest transport procedures in networking. The UDP is a light-weight protocol that is recommended for light programs and applications in an organization. In multicast and broadcast services, UDP is more effective than the TCP. Time Constraint Deploying an effective and reliable TCP and UDP service in any organization requires a lot of time. The processes involved in the deployment of a reliable network are bureaucratic and complex (RAD Data Communications 1). Other than the installation of internet devices and facilities, the public must also be involved in the deployment process. Installation of all the relevant facilities is a process that may take years to achieve. TCP and UDP procedures are therefore some of the most reliable connection procedures as they ensure better communication and good interconnectivity. If the project is to be taken by private developers, or if it is allowed to operate as purely entrepreneurial, there are possibilities of having a speedy and effective coverage of the region, including marginalized areas.

Commercial fishing is the process of taking fish, seafood, or resources from oceans or other water objects for marketing. Hence, diverse commercial fishing techniques have been developed and created throughout the industry’s history. All of the techniques differently affect various spheres related to the fishing process, such as the environment, the crew’s health, the volume of the catch, and the levels of effort needed. Therefore, each company decides the most appropriate commercial fishing techniques for itself based on the estimation of the pros and cons and the comparison of the results. One of the most common and broad-based techniques is pelagic trawling which is a method of catching fish with the help of a net. It includes dragging a net through where most fish feed, usually in the middle of the water column (Commercial fishing methods, n.d.). It targets fish only on the mid-and surface water levels. This method is preferable as it does not cause much damage to the environment, does not destroy ocean flora or fauna, and is not associated with high risks of sea deterioration. However, it allows catching large amounts of fish which may negatively affect certain fish species populations. This remark cannot be considered damaging regarding the commercial fishing industry as any technique and the industry itself impact the decline of ocean creatures. Additionally, pelagic trawling is often looked at as ineffective due to some vital criteria. According to Dagtekin et al. (2021), such factors as professional experience in pelagic trawling, subsidy rate in this technique, total crew, as well as the quality of the utilized vessels explain the method’s technical inefficiency. These negative impacts can be reduced by heightening governmental funding, optimizing technical gears, and improving the crew experience in this method of catching fish. On the opposite, bottom trawling is another fishing technique but is mostly used for the trawl in deep waters. It involves dragging a net along the seabed for the purpose of catching fish species that generally feed and live there (Commercial fishing methods, n.d.). Usually, the ocean creatures caught by this method include haddock, plaice, cod, or sole. In comparison with the previous method, bottom trawling causes much more damage to the environment and raises diverse difficulties for sea inhabitants. For example, based on the conducted research, Hiddink et al. (2017) conclude that the effect of trawling frequency results in the bigger falls in biomass due to
Introduction Gender inequality is one of the oldest and most persistent features of human history. Dating back to more than seven centuries when agriculture emerged, men have continued to dominate gender relations with women’s role being condensed to the homestead as house wives and taking care of the children while men’s place was in the public domain. Men were revered since they were considered to have legal powers over their wives and children. During such times, wife beating was a common feature that characterized many homes. However, at the turn of the 20 th century there was a rapid wave of social change that began to recognize and appreciate the role of a woman as an equal contributor to society, therefore, women begun to receive recognition as equal players in the social scene. However, this social change did not come without resistance from certain quarters of society. The wave of change begun in the US and Europe where industrialization had kicked off at high gear therefore creating opportunities which women could easily exploit and also earn a living for the family alongside their male partners. This wave of social change which advocated for equal rights and opportunities for women continued to pick momentum throughout the decades until the society could no longer ignore the need to level the playing ground in order to accommodate women. For example, women are now taking greater working roles in fields which were considered strictly a man’s domain. The military and the police departments which not long ago were considered a man’s sphere have seen an increased number of women enrollments. This is a clear testimony to the fact that women can also effectively contribute immensely even in the most challenging and rigorous working environment. However, women are still treated as inferior beings in the working place and therefore continue to endure different forms of discrimination. Gender inequality in the workplace Although there is remarkable improvement with regard to gender equality globally, women continue to receive discrimination in the working environment. For example, most women are paid less for the same amount of work as their male counterparts and are the most preferred candidates for low profile jobs such as housekeeping and social services. A recent survey indicates that approximately 85% of housekeeping jobs globally are undertaken by women. In Angola, Senegal and Ghana the figure stands at approximately 67% while in Egypt and Kuwait it is at 75% (Padavic & Reskin, 2002, p.8). These statistics are clear evidence that women continue to receive discrimination with regard to the kind of jobs they are eligible to do. However, in the developed world the situation seems to take another twist where women are paid significantly lower salaries as compared to their male counterparts on the same role. A remarkable example is witnessed in South Korea, a country with a considerable number of working class women. Here men are paid 38% higher than women for the same amount of work making it the highest
Introduction Trade stats express is a service provided by the international trade administration to avail the latest annual and quarterly trade data of the United States. It gives the current trade statistics at national and state levels. The export and import trade balances are custom-tailored to year and dollar ranges as well as display preferences. The national trade data and state export data category have two main sections with each having the same basic tools. The data provided by the trade stats express is usually timely and accurate (Haddad and Shepherd, 2011). Analysts and economists utilize this data to develop strategies and recommendations that directly translate to sound economic policies. The data still provides trade flows for the foreign markets making the local business improve their standards to reach international competition. The US national trade data reflects government and non-governmental shipments of merchandise between that nation and its custom territory, composed of the fifty states. The US Census Bureau provides this national trade data. The data gives the current foreign trade analysis as well as detailed value of commodities. This graph shows the national trade data from 1999 to 2004 as provided by the Census Bureau. This data is helpful in determining the best state to target their production efforts. It helps her to gauge the local market size per state hence develop the market strategy (Haddad and Shepherd, 2011). The Chinese holdings of the Yuan undervalued are the leading causes of the bilateral trade deficit between United States and china. In other words, United States imports from China are far more than the exports to China. However, this relationship between the value of Yuan and the trade balance does not reflect in the international trade data (Moosa, 2012). The trade balance has continued to grow until 2009. This formed the climax of accumulation as the economy of the United States fell by more than 20 percent, and the exports were flat. China has held the value of the currency as compared to the United States. This makes the exports form United States less competitive in the international market. United States has therefore, been recording negative trade balance with China monthly form 2005 to 2011. This is because of the excess imports United States makes form China as compared to its exports to the same country. United States has maintained a negative trade deficit with China. The deficit clinched $ 27 billion in November 2011. Report The bilateral relationship between China and United States has been constrained and complicated by the uneven nature of financial flows between the two countries. This deficit has had an impact on the both individual and national level of the participants (Moosa, 2012). These effects are more explicit in United States. At the individual level, living standards of persons has significantly gone down. This is because of the immense number of persons who have lost jobs since 2005. The deficit of U.S with China has caused the former more than 2.8 million jobs between 2005 and 2011. The biggest net losses in jobs were in Texas
One of the processes that need improvement in Afya Hospital is the management of the recruitment of volunteers. This paper presents a process management plan that can help the hospital to improve the process. Process Description The process of recruiting volunteers is more complicated than it appears. The complications arise because of the unique working conditions of volunteers (Epicor 2011). The hospital usually handles three types of volunteers. The first category of volunteers is qualified and experienced professionals. Some volunteers are fully qualified professionals who want to give some of their time and expertise to the hospital. These volunteers usually have limited time and restricted timetables. Some of them are retired professionals who still want to offer their expertise. Usually, they do not accept full-time responsibilities. Other volunteers are young professionals who are on holiday or other assignments in the region. In this case, they volunteer in the hospital to make the best use of their spare time. The second category of volunteers is the newly qualified professionals who are looking for opportunities to build their experience. They usually offer themselves full time to the hospital. The third category of volunteers is those seconded from organizations that coordinate voluntary work. Their terms of service usually depend on the conditions given by the sponsoring organization. Afya hospital does not have a robust system for recruiting and managing volunteers. The feeling that most managers in the hospital have towards volunteers is that they are not reliable, because they do not have a performance contract with the hospital. This feeling is justified based on some of the experiences of the managers who have worked with volunteers. However, general apathy towards volunteers demoralizes the enthusiastic ones (Arnold 2007). There is a need to develop a process that can ensure that the hospital fully utilizes the energies of the volunteers. Definition of Goals The goals of this improvement exercise in the administration of the recruitment of volunteers in Afya Hospital are as follows. The first objective is to clarify the classification of voluntary staff. It is important to develop a formal classification of the categories of volunteers in the hospital. This will aid in the evaluation of the volunteer service program at the hospital (Boyle 2011). The managers will have data to help them determine the categories of volunteers that bring the most value to the hospital and to determine the most efficient ratio of volunteers at any time. The second objective is to develop a model that can support effective recruitment of volunteers. Currently, the hospital is a passive recruiter (Kottolli, 2006). This means that there is no structured process for the recruitment of volunteers. The managers handle each applicat
Serving leaders act for the good of people, organizations, and societies; they push aside personal ambitions. Such a leader is not driven by selfish motives or a desire for power, but by a sincere desire to help others satisfy their needs, develop, and become better (Enyia, 2018). Usually, a servant leader has a high level of maturity and consciousness, adherence to moral principles, and many other positive ethical qualities. This allows the leader to build leadership based on trust and respect. Typically, this type of leadership has a positive effect on the functioning of the organization. Usually, employees’ attitude towards such leaders is positive because they know that they can always count on help and support. For this reason, the behavior of team members becomes more open and confident. In addition, following the example of a leader, subordinates readily help each other. Thus, servant leadership is an excellent way to build a cohesive and effective team. Reference Enyia, S. O. (2018). Servant leadership. Page Publishing Inc.
It is possible to say that the film The Story of Qiu Ju is aimed at creating a realistic portrayal of life in a Chinese village and this realism is achieved with the help of different formal elements such as mise-en-scène, sound, as well as editing. This is the main thesis that should be discussed in more detail. This movie can give readers deep insights into the challenges that Chinese peasant faced. This point can be better illustrated analyzing different shots from this movie and the way in which they are related with one another. These are the main questions that should be examined in this paper. One can take a look at the first shot of this sequence; it lasts approximately five seconds. In this part of the sequence, the film-makers attempt to show the mode of life in a village family. In particular, the viewers can see the house of Wang Shantang and its yard ( The Story of Qiu Ju ). In this case, the authors prefer take a medium long and low-level shot. This approach enables the camera operator to demonstrate that every member of Wang Shantang’s family has to work almost continuously in order to make ends meet ( The Story of Qiu Ju ). This technique can give viewers a better idea about this household. The following picture illustrates the technique used by the authors of this film: Figure 1: Qiu Ju stands in front of Wang Shantang’s House ( The Story of Qiu Ju ) Additionally, one should not forget that the film includes mostly diegetic sounds. This means that the source of sound is either directly visible, or at least one can understand where it comes from. For example, one can speak about the voices of people, the sounds of birds and animals, especially poultry. The absence of non- diegetic suggests that the authors intend to recreate the atmosphere in the village in a very meticulous way. Under such circumstance, the inclusion of a sound-track or third-person narration might not be suitable. Additionally, the house of Wang Shantang is located at the center of the composition, and this detail is vital for describing the household of the family. These are some of the details that immediately attract the attention. The realistic portrayal of peasant life can be seen in other shots included in this sequence. For example, one can look at the scene when Wang Shantang and Qiu Ju talk to one another. In this case, the camera operator also decides to take medium long and eye-level shots. This technique is important because in this way, one can better describe the main characters who are in conflict with one another. For example, people can clearly see that the characters live in very harsh conditions. This is one of the aspects that should be considered. Moreover, the viewers can notice that the family of Wang Shantang is greatly depending
Introduction Empathy is a virtue that is associated with human beings. It can be said to be one of the virtues that separate caring and uncaring people. This article examines the meaning of empathy in general. It shows what it means to have empathy as a human being. Empathy is also examined from the context of the book Do androids dream of electric sheep. The context of the story in this book reveals, in a special way, how empathy can be and cannot be expressed. The effects of expressing and not expressing empathy are also looked at. Over expression is specifically pointed out as being unhealthy. The meaning of Empathy Empathy has been defined as the ability to identify with a situation that another person is going through. It has also been defined as the ability to experience another person’s feelings (Empathy 1). When a person identifies with another person’s situation and tries to alleviate or mitigate the stressing factor in the situation, then one can say that he or she is expressing empathy. Acts of empathy may therefore include such actions as giving food to the needy in the society or providing shelter to those who are homeless. Generally, empathy has much to do with acts of kindness directed to people faced with situations which are hostile. It is kindness directed to people who need it based on how the donor or the person giving has perceived the situation at hand (Vincent 10). The feeling of empathy comes up when there is a clear difference between the person being empathetic and the one who is the subject of empathy. Generally, two persons in the same unfortunate situation may not manifest empathy feelings towards each other. This is because of undergoing the same situation and neither of them may be in a position to help the other. But if two people are experiencing different unfortunate circumstances at the same time, they may be able console each other thus they may show empathy to each other. For instance, a bereaved person may show empathy to another person who has lost his or her house to fire. What it takes for one to express empathy Empathy can be examined as a feeling that pushes a person to do something good for another person particularly when the other person is in a bad situation. Basically, for one to express empathy therefore one needs to have feelings. One has to feel and be touched by what others are going through. Because empathy is just but a feeling, it does not really cost much, at least financially, to feel empathetic. However, acts of empathy may cost some resources depending on individual acts in question (Thagard 15). What it takes to express empathy is therefore the ability to have the feeling first such that there is identification with the situation at hand and then being in a position to offer the help required in whole or in part. Empathy has to do with feelings and in cases where a person’s feelings have been hardened; empathy may not be mani
This exhibition’s theme is Biblical art, a concept about the sacred Christian work utilizing imagery and characters from the Bible or the Scriptures. Notably, in some cases, Biblical art contains stories from legends whose figures are from the Bible, but the story itself may not be part of the Scriptures or the Apocryphal Gospels. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the Catholic Church’s heads commissioned artists to produce visual art to decorate the chapels and cathedrals. For this reason, these forms of artistic expression were popular in Europe, where Roman Catholicism thrived. In the past, artists used paintings, sculptures, mosaics, and stained glass to illustrate scenes from the Bible and help convey specific messages, especially during the era of reduced literacy ( Lumen ). As is the norm in human evolution, Biblical art also underwent significant changes over the years, representing greater artistic expression and the metamorphosis of the consumers’ needs over time. This exhibition contains a collection of six items of the European visual culture derived from two historical periods. The first three items are insular works of art from the Middle Ages, while the last three are from the Renaissance period. All the visual art items included in this presentation remain related in that all of them are examples of Biblical art pieces. Any differences between them may be due to changes in art production techniques used at various times. For instance, insular art existed mainly in post-Roman Britain and Ireland. Its main characteristic is the remarkable fusion of different cultures and traditions due to the travels of ecclesiastics and their craftspeople ( Grove Art Online ). Renaissance art’s characteristics include individualism, secularism, and classism, among others. They had fewer church paintings and tended to show individual rather than group faces. Audience would want to see this exhibition to appreciate Biblical art and its evolution. Items from the Middle Ages Figure : Artist: Unknown. A John the Evangelist page from the Lindisfarne Gospels (c. 635 CE): Insular. Figure 1 is a page from one of the four books of the Lindisfarne Gospels depicting John the Evangelist. It is collored ink on a flat vellum measuring 160 by 130 mm. The picture is stylized in keeping with the common practice of Biblical art in the Middle Ages. John the Evangelist here is wearing a piece of clothing that seems not to acknowledge the body beneath. He is also sited on a bench that does not ebb practically into the space behind him. Notably, a specific symbol represented each of the four Evangelists, and John’s emblem – an eagle – is drawn above his head carrying the Gospel, signifying the Second Coming of Jesus Crist. The artist who produced the figure kept modeling to a m
