The use of homemade products has become nearly exotic in the contemporary world off global economy and corporate business. As a result, whenever there is a product that has not been manufactured on a conveyor belt, people are immediately hyped about t. Granted that the product must also meet the existing quality standards, it is often the origin of the product that defines its attractiveness. Therefore, in the course of choosing the proper marketing technique for the company’s product, it has been decided that the emphasis must lie on the fact that the clothes are produced manually; hence the name, Handmade Knitwear. Herein the key justification for the organization’s logo lies as well. It has been suggested that the organization should use the following phrase as its slogan: “Handmade Knitwear keeps you warm and fuzzy.” It is essential that the slogan should create positive emotions, making people think of comfort and coziness whenever they come across the company’s name or brand product. Therefore, an idiom was incorporated into the body of the slogan. The same principle should apply to the creation of the organization’s logo. While it is necessary to refrain from using the corny clichés that are traditionally associated with catering to the audience’s need for comfort, such as the images of hearts, hands fold to display caring and love, etc., it will be required to retain a small touch of sentimentality. Thus, a simplistic design will be combined with warm color palette and an image of a clothing item (a mix between a dress and a shirt was chosen as the basic one that would appeal to all denizens of the target population) (see Picture 1). Picture 1. Handmade Knitwear’s Logo It will also be reasonable that the principle of brand extension should be incorporated into the organization’s marketing strategy. Since Handmade Knitwear is going to not only provide products to the target customers, but also offer its services, including the repair of knitwear products, it will be reasonable to suggest that the brand extensions principle should be included into the overall framework of the company’s operations. Thus, it will be necessary to extend the current brand to the services involving handmade knitwear maintenance. The rationale for the choices made above is rather basic. While being rather small at present, the organization will have to consider expansion into the global market at some point, which will require that the comp
Ramen Culture in Japan Food has always been an essential part of human culture. Nothing can unite different people more than a satisfaction received from a tasty meal shared together. Food is the source of energy, a motive for communication, an enjoyment of taste, and even aesthetic pleasure. Therefore, a well-cooked soup appears to need not less creativity than a musical composition. The culture of Japan is rich in unique food traditions that currently are becoming popular all over the world. When any person thinks about Japanese cuisine, the first thing that will come to his/her mind will be sushi or ramen. Ramen have become more than a dish. Ramen culture is considered a vital part of the traditions, a symbol, a cult, and a trend. Studying the history of the transformation of ramen culture and the role it plays in modern Japanese popular culture helps to explore the uniqueness of the phenomenon and understand the origins of its immense popularity. What is Ramen? Ramen is a Japanese dish with wheat noodles. The term refers both to the specific type of noodles and the soup cooked using them. The noodles are cooked by using a unique recipe. The required ingredients include wheat flour, salt, water, and a special type of alkaline water. This type of water is called kansui and is known for giving the noodles their yellowish shade. Such water contains certain forms of mineral salt and is considered the most suitable for preparing ramen noodles. However, some people substitute it with eggs. There is a variety of shapes and length of the noodles. Ramen soup is cooked by using ramen noodles, broth based on the meet, and various ingredients. The ingredients can include shiitake (East Asia mushroom), vegetables, fish, meat or eggs. The soup is flavored with salt or other flavors and can be seasoned with different toppings after the preparation. There are four main types or ramen soup, including shio, tonkotsu, shoyu, and miso. Shio is the oldest and the lightest variant of ramen soup while tonkotsu is prepared by boiling pork bones for hours and is the most nutritious and hearty variant. Shoyu is characterized by extensive use of soy sauce while miso is prepared with the big amount of miso seasoning. Though standard variants of ramen are still popular nowadays, numerous regions of Japan have developed their own unique variations. Sapporo, Tokyo, Yokohama, and Wakayama variants are among the most popular ones. Ramen is served in special restaurants in Japan, as well as in all types of cafes and cafeterias. It is also popular in Asia and all over the world. Nowadays numerous establishments across the country are dedicated to serving their variations of ramen. Many restaurants have established their own “ramen identity” with distinctive flavor and style (Brown and Brown 147). Each establishment attempts to gain a large population of fans and, as soon as it manages to d
Introduction Like any other people in the world, the Jewish people are an ethnoreligious society that has its own way of life in addition to religious confederacy. These people have their own practices and beliefs that form their way of life-culture. Thus, it is very difficult to differentiate between traditional culture of the Jewish people and that of Jewish as a religion. These people live in every continent of the world; have witnessed the development of cultural phenomena, Jewish in nature and not exclusively religious. The Jewish culture incorporates factors from Judaism, and others from the interactions among the Jews. Additionally, the social and cultural dynamics of the Jewish communities are integral in forming this culture, rather than religion. Perhaps this is the reason why the Jewish culture varies from one community to another due to social and cultural backgrounds. History asserts that over the past 2000 years, there has been no unanimity of this culture among communities responsible. Different types of Jewish people live all over the world due to dispersion. For instance, while the Ashkenazi Jews inhabited Europe, the Sephardi Jews live in regions of North Africa and Turkey. Additionally, there are also Mizrahi Jews mainly found in Arab countries. The paper examines the gradual development of the Jewish culture and the contract of the Jewish Culture among different Jewish communities (Tracey p.1). Abraham and the Patriarchs Ma
Abstract For the past 20 years technology has been increasingly applied in learning and teaching in schools (Glover & Miller, 2001; McPherson, 2009). During this period, it has gained much prominence as a result of rapid globalization and a move towards technology enabled society. Interactive whiteboard is one of the many technological and software developments which has recently made available as a result of this development. They are widely used as a learning tool in primary, secondary and institutions of higher learning (Glover & Miller, 2001; Solvie, 2001; Somekh, 2007). Though interactive whiteboards are still a new technology to many stakeholders in the education sector, users of the technology have termed it as a practical approach which learners and teachers effectively use to support learning in schools (Higgins, Beauchamp, & Miller, 2007; Ray & Smith, 2010). The introduction of interactive whiteboards in early childhood education has changed the way in which a learner and a teacher interact providing a platform for effective learning process. The aim of this literature review is to explore the use of interactive white- boards in guided inquiry-based learning in early childhood education. The literature review will explore the contribution of interactive whiteboards towards inquiry-based earning in early childhood education as well as investigate the present landscape of interactive whiteboards in the United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US.).The elements associated with inquiry based learning are suited to support educators in reaching out to a modern learner (Turel, 2010). Through them, a student builds the habits of mind that prepares him/her to compete with others. Hence, the use of technology to support inquiry based learning gives a student a process he/she needs to shift to inquiring mind with command to originality, actively and intelligently solve a problem. Introduction The literature review focuses on the use of interactive white- boards in guided inquiry-based learning in early childhood education. The effects of interactive whiteboards in classroom settings have recently been investigated in a number of studies in the UK and US (Baran, 2010; Bell, 2002; Brown, 2003; Glover & Miller, 2001; Glover, Miller, Averis, Door, 2007; Johnson & Turel, 2012; Turel & Demirli, 2010). The purpose of the literature review is to provide an overview of selected and current scholarship on this topic and to locate the current research study in the continuum of scholarship with regard to this topic. In context, the proposed literature review will focus on school-going children between the age of five and eight years, also known as lower graders. The justification behind selecting this age group is based on the fact that the early years of a child’s life is critically essential not only for their physical and social-emotional development, but also for their cognitive progre
Introduction Personality differences are one of the primary factors that differentiate different individuals, because of the varying nature of peoples’ behaviors. Behavioral differences are evident in people’s ways of thinking or reactions to different occurrences in their immediate environments. Therefore, personality traits define an individual’s profile in terms of character hence, determining how such individuals will interact with their immediate environment and other people. The question of the primary determinant of peoples’ personality traits is one of the most controversial topics in psychology, because of the varying arguments presented by different psychologists. On one end, some psychologists believe that individuals acquire their personality traits through genetic inheritance; while on the other hand, some argue that peoples’ personality traits are products of the environment. Contrary to these two antagonizing notions, some psychologists believe that, both heredity through genetic inheritance and the environment play a role in shaping an individual’s behavior. As research studies show, although individuals may inherit some personality traits from their parents, parental methodologies of nurturing children also contributes to shaping an individual’s personality (Nash & Bernstein, 1999, pp. 560-574). Considering this, although heredity through genetic inheritance plays a crucial role when it comes to defining an individual’s personality characteristics, environmental occurrences and challenges play some roles in shaping an individual’s personality. Determinants of Personality As research studies show, heredity only defines the limits of an individual’s personality traits, whereas the environment shapes the defined personality traits. The actual development of an individuals inherited personality traits primarily depend on one’s cultural, situational, and social environment. The ability of individuals to survive in any environment primarily depends on their ability to change their personalities in order for them to fit such environments. Environmental factors, for example, culture, defines the type of values embraced by an individual whereas, others, for example situational factors can either diminish or encourage development of some features of an individual’s personality. In addition to such occurrences in one’s environment in shaping an individual’s personality, some environmental factors, for example, one’s family and religious affiliation also play a crucial role in defining the nature of values that an individual will embrace hence, greatly shaping their personality. Therefore, although most nomotetic psychological researches undermine the significance of the environment in determining an individual’s personality, by holding that genetically inherited personality traits are constant, environmental influences can greatly alter an individual’s genetically inherited personality traits (Cervone, 2001, p.1). Further, as psychological research studies sho
Karl max and the concept of alienation On his part, Karl Max understood work as alienating. His argument was based on the capitalistic mode of production which has its roots in the industrial revolution of 1600. This mode of production is characterised by two groups of people namely the capitalists and the proletariats. According to Karl max, the proletariats own nothing except their labour, which they sale at cheap price to the capitalists (Wharton 44). The concept of alienation simply means the existence of some dividing forces between things which are essentially supposed to be in harmony with each other. For example, man created and discovered religion, but the same man subjects himself to uncomfortable religious beliefs or practices like refusing to take medicine due to religious beliefs. In this situation, religion makes man to be uneasy, yet it is the same man who creates the religion (Wharton 45). Max argued that the ideal purpose of work was to make man happy by enabling him move towards the actualization levels in his life. But due to the capitalistic economy, work is no longer playing its primary function in man, but rather, it is alienating him. According to Max, man can be alienated in three major ways namely the alienation from the results of labour, alienation from the other workers and alienation of the worker from him or herself (Wharton 45). Alienation from the results of labour happens when man works but he does not have a stake in the products of his labour and only gets his wages, which are way below the worth of the products of his labour. This is what Karl max calls exploitation, which creates profits in form of surplus. Paradoxically, the surplus is not attributed to the workers but rather to the capitalists (Wharton 49). Alienation from other workers takes place when the worker is transformed into a commodity to be used in the competitive capitalist economy. In this situation, the worker is not viewed as a social being but is tied to his or her work, in which he or she is paid as per his or her output. Alienation of the worker from himself takes place when the worker is robbed of his ability or opportunity to enjoy the intrinsic value of work. In the capitalistic economy, personal lives are separated from work, meaning that the worker is transformed into a machin
Research in medical sphere usually takes much time. There are a lot of different biopharmaceutical companies which work on medicines, their improvement, and further distribution. Competition is too high at the market of medicine, therefore, each of the companies wants to conduct a research faster and with the highest efficiency. Companies should also understand that the secrets of rivals may be useful for them, especially if a rival has already conducted a research and possesses necessary information. To be better than a competitor, a company should work hard to improve personal medicine and to understand how it affects people, how a particular component may either assist or prevent disease development. There are a lot of aspects which are to be understood, and research works on new and already existing medicines do not stop. Unfortunately, there are companies which do not want to conduct fair research and try to get information by all means. In this case, the scientific world speaks about unethical business. There are a lot of different ways to act unethically. AstraZeneca’s Seroquel research director Wayne MacFadden confessed in sexual relations with competitors and those who could have useful information necessary for business development with the purposes to get to know the information which could increase the income of AstraZeneca (Edwards, 2008). Wayne MacFadden confessed that he got numerous sexual relations the only purpose of which was to get necessary information. Sometimes Wayne MacFadden did not even refuse his desire to get information and for that information he offered romantic dinner followed by sex. Wayne MacFadden refused the fact that he had been convinced to do it. He also said that after the company got to know about his research information and the way how it was got they offered him to resign having threatened to fire him. Even though Wayne MacFadden did not hurry up to resign he understood that he would have to do it and eventually he resigned. Therefore, looking at the situation, it may be concluded that Wayne MacFadden used personal and even sexual relationships in getting strategically important information which was useful for the company. Additional, it should be stated that AstraZeneca was really interested in received data, but it should also be states that the way how it was received was unethical and even illegal (Edwards, 2009). The parties of a conf
An article in the Association of Operating Room Nurses journal of December 1998 titled dispelling the myth that research answers all questions by Suzanne C Beyea and Leslie H Nicoll had a rational principle. However, investigations by the authors were centered on research questions related to wellbeing care. Research is a broad term that entails extensive study on its merits and demerits. To achieve consistency in relating research and subject responses, the authors’ study focus ought to have been extended to other analytical subjects. If research can assist sections of health care provision appropriately and valuable outcomes attained then research in wellbeing provision must be promoted. The article sourced information from study areas in which research was deemed inappropriate. Subject matters appropriate for research were never mentioned in contrast to the incompatible topics. The article goes on to claim that research outcomes generally mystify problems. The authors utilized illustrations in the article that demonstrated the unsuitability of research. Doctor supported deaths, tobacco smoking practice, and decontaminated hospital attire were immaterial examples that research may perhaps be associated with. Information on imprecision of research technique was epitomized extensively without comparisons. In contrast, research has been credited as a foundation to understanding life facts. Currently, healthcare experimental research documents on precautionary intercessions have been printed on diverse subjects (Moorthy et al. 2009). Research records have been utilized to provide solutions for stu4dy areas. Research facts were elaborated by the authors precisely; however, there were no reference to topic sections in which research might be applied. Relative value research in wellbeing provision is imperative for healthcare improvement (Bole, 2010 p. 1). Furthermore, wellbeing provisions improvement can be extended to financial cover with reduced charges (Mushlin & Ghomrawi, 2010 p. 1). Investigations on issue significance can assist policy makers on drafting important legislations. Investigation statistics can be incorporated in daily provisions for upgrading and efficacy (Porzsolt et al., 2009 p. 2). Research results can be representative of divisions that require development. The authors alleged that in certain incidents documented rules assessment, moral theory tests, or advanced knowledge may assist with problem solutions. The contentio
Abstract The present paper describes a cross-sectional study aimed at assessing factors contributing to losses from property crime. The literature suggested that GDP per capita, regional education level, and regional urbanization level were possible predictors of losses from property crime rates. The research utilized secondary data acquired from World Bank. Two two-level multilevel models were assessed based on a sample of 103 countries. The analysis revealed that regional education level was a significant predictor of the dependent variable, while the significance of GDP per capita and regional urbanization level was insufficient. Thus, when designing programs aiming at reducing business losses from property crime, policies for improving the current education level should be considered. Literature Review The primary research question of the present paper is the following:   * RQ1: What are the factors affecting country-wide losses from property crime? The hypothesis of the present research is that country-wide losses from property crime are affected by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and the mean education and urbanization levels of the region. Factors affecting losses from property crime are an understudied topic. However, the literature provided on the subject can explain common determinants of country crime rates. Rosenfeld and Messner (2009) conducted a comparative analysis of factors affecting the decline in property crime rates in the US and several European countries. The researchers utilized robust quantitative methods to test the hypothesis that GDP per capita, unemployment, consumer confidence, and the number of imprisonments were correlated with the prevalence of property crime in European countries and the US. After testing several regression models, the researchers accepted their hypotheses, demonstrating that the strength of the law enforcement system and economic factors affected country-wide crime rates. Similarly, Crawford (2013) claimed that economic determinants and law enforcement spending had a significant effect on property crime prevalence in both developing and developed countries. However, Crawford (2013) utilized only qualitative methods to arrive at a conclusion, which may mean that the results are biased. Ghani (2017) conducted a comparative study using mixed methods to examine different determinants of crime rates, such as education level, poverty, GDP per capita, and unemployment. A special emphasis was put on the fact that urbanization negatively affected crime rates (Ghani, 2017). Thus, the literature review justified the choice of predictors for the country-wide crime rates. At the same time, it revealed a lack
