Introduction To begin with, I created a picture inspired by the film Persepolis which shows the life of an Iranian girl in times of political control and repressions. This film received several awards and became the most well-known work of its directors, Paronnaud and Satrapi. Even though an art I created relates to the other type of medium, picture, not a film, it is still strongly connected to Persepolis and has a similar meaning and the same palette of colors. Main body For the created art (Appendix A), as an inspiration was taken the film Persepolis, which puts in the center of discussion the topic of authoritarian control and repression in Iran. This film was created in 2007 as an adaptation of the autobiographical graphic novel of one of the co-directors, Iranian-born French author Marjane Satrapi. The other co-director is Vincent Paronnaud, a French comic book writer and artist. Interestingly, Persepolis is not a film with real actors playing their roles, but it is a movie drawn by artists in white and black colors mainly, emphasizing the city’s dark atmosphere and hard times. Although it is a drawn film, it cannot be claimed cartoon for children; it is allowed to watch it for people older than 13 years old only. Persepolis is the name of an ancient city in Iran; previously, it was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire before Christ’s birth. Moreover, Persepolis was declared the world heritage protected by UNESCO since 1979. The story itself tells about a young girl who comes of age during the Iranian Revolution. My art is called Master Hand, as it shows someone’s hand that colors a person’s life in black, even if he sits in a well-lightened place (Appendix A). This hand demonstrates all the social pressure imposed on a single person who seeks to find freedom but sits in the shadow of an invisible master. As it was already stated, this art was inspired by Persepolis, mostly black and white film, and these two pieces of art are connected in terms of the central topic. In both, authoritarian control was taken over a person seeking to find freedom by repressions, the strategy to enforce public obedience through violence and surveillance. Therefore, they are mostly similar but represent different mediums (film and art) and influence the viewer differently. For instance, in a movie, the viewer may hear the music, watch the behavior of actors and how they react to events, and communicate with others. It gives more information and leaves the person with fewer opportunities to analyze and make conclusions. A painting, in turn, opens a bigger sp
The modern health care system faces diverse challenges that demand efficient responses to guarantee improved outcomes and promote the further development of care delivery. However, the complexity of problematic issues and the tendency towards their further sophistication introduce a critical need for the integration of different fields of knowledge to provide patients with an appropriate care and attain high level s of their satisfaction. That is why the current approach to functioning regarding the healthcare includes a collaborative work in teams to attain success and suggest a patient-centered, safe, and efficient care (Barr, Vania, Randall, & Mulvale, 2017). Thus, the primary goal of this paper is do discuss the concept of interprofessional collaboration and the way it is now being implemented to the healthcare sector. The work also aims at the investigation of contributions of such disciplines as healthcare informatics, nursing, and public health specialists functioning to the development of the concept and
Introduction Information management is one of the most important parts of any organization. To ensure continuity of an organization, proper record keeping should be encouraged. In addition, proper documentation and record keeping of events, personnel information among other things in an organization ensures that the entity is assured of accountability (Raggad, 2010). Effective record keeping, maintenance, and management eases up the audit process for any organization. It is important to note that management of data and proper maintenance of records is a very crucial process to the success of the organization. With this in mind, organizations have developed proper record keeping methods and processes (Tipton & Nozaki, 2008). As an aspect of organizational structure, information management has seen the emergence of new methods meant to enhance the effectiveness and convenience of managing records and data. In this case study, various issues touching on security with regard to iTrust organization are addressed. The iTrust Security Issue In the past, organizations relied on manual systems of information management. The systems were prone to human error and involved a very rigorous storage and retrieval process. Modernization has seen the introduction of technology into the information management arena. Technology has helped revolutionize the whole information management arena in a major way. It has improved the effectiveness and efficacy of information systems. It has also improved the speed of retrieving data, as well as the security of the same. It has reduced risks of damage to data (Raggad, 2010). Information systems are developed to suit the growing need for technological information management and improve the rather historical process of keeping records. Although they are not one hundred percent efficient or secure, they do come quite close to the optimal standards. They ensure effective and hassle free management of information (Tipton & Nozaki, 2008). In medical institutions, the need to manage information cannot be underestimated. Medical facilities contain a lot of confidential information on individuals. They also contain information on treatment plans and prescriptions. Such information should be safeguarded to ensure it does not fall into the wrong hands. iTrust is a hypothetical information systems software that allows medical facilities to maintain records on drug inventory and other bits of information. It is a role-based healthcare web application through which patients can manage their medical records (Tipton & Nozaki, 2008). Similarly, medical personnel are provided with a platform through which they can monitor the progress of their patients by managing their medical records. Medical personnel can also receive alerts on missing immunization or signs of chronic illnesses. In this case study, the susceptibility of the iTrust information management software is brought to question. The case study embarks on identifying the threats faced by the iTrust system, as well as the areas that may render the system vulnerable to security lapses. If the system
Asian education system is said to differ greatly from American education system. In Asia, parents and guardians believe in punishing children so that they may grow up morally upright. In America this sounds very funny more so in the United States whereby parents and guardians have their own ways of educating their children. The two countries use totally different methods to educate their children and this simply means that the children will have different abilities and potentialities in the future. The children also acquire different skills however they are all aimed at brightening their future and living big. Many researchers have gone a step ahead and studied the two education systems. Many differences have been pointed out following the researches. To begin with, the first and foremost difference is the interaction of the children with the other family members. Parents in China value investing in education of their children and to make them reach higher and advanced levels of education like universities. Most of the parents in China have the belief that it is a great achievement to educate a child up to the university level. The children have no other alternative apart from being serious with their academic work since the parents keenly observe their progress. The children aim at getting educated as their only way of driving to a bright future. The parents are ever keen on their children’s performance from the lowest level of education to the highest one and they even punish them for betterment. Contrary to what happens in China, parents in America aim at making their children comfortable and they always relate closely and in a f
Acquire Physical resources It is arguably evident that physical resource acquisition is vital in ensuring business growth and expansion. In addition, valuable resources play an integral role in helping the business to establish competitive advantage over its competitors (Alkhafaji, 2003). This implies that businesses should constantly revise their physical resource acquisition methods in accordance with the business level strategies, business goals and the available financial resources at the disposal of the firm. This helps in eliminating instances associated with financial constraints on the organization primarily due to asset acquisition. The business should strike at maintaining a balance between the finances used in the acquisition of the physical resources and the working capital of the business. In addition, the firm should categorize its critical resources that are essential in ensuring business continuity and growth in the long-term (Bartol & Tien, 2008). Currently, the methods used for the acquisition of physical resources within The Office Assistant include purchasing, finance lease, operating lease and rent, which have been chosen depending on the type of physical resource. Finance lease, sometimes referred to as capital lease, is an instance of commercial arrangement that businesses can use to raise the finances required to acquire physical assets instead of using a genuine rental. In this context, The Office Assistant selects a physical resource, which is then purchased by the lessor or the finance company (Daft & Marcic, 2010). As such, The Office Assistant uses the acquired physical resource during the lease period and makes subsequent installments regarding the use of the physical resource. In the end, the financing company recovers a significant portion of the cost of the physical resource and the interests due to rentals incurred by The Office Assistant. The Office Assistant on the other hand has the alternative of acquiring ownership of the physical resource depending on the agreements through payment of the last rental and the bargain option purchase price (Drucker, 2007). An operating lease on the other hand serves to acquire the physical resource for short duration of time; however, The Office Assistant will not have any ownership rights over the physical resource. The alternatives available when the duration of operating lease ends could be equipment renewal, restoration and purchasing the asset at its present market value. Purchasing as an acquisition method implies that The Office Assistant has full ownership rights of the asset. Renting on the other hand involves payments for temporary use of a physical resource that is owned by another party (Durbin & Doerscher, 2010). The following Table 1 shows an analysis of the different types of physical resources and the recommendations on whether to change or not to change the acquisition method.

Television has become an imprescriptible part of the daily routine and the most significant electronic media. There is no single state that is not covered by TV-broadcasting. The development of this technology took more than a century. The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed November 21 as the official day of telecasting. The paper discusses the most influential personalities that contributed to the development of television technology. Giovanni Caselli plays an essential role in the origins of technologies that brought television into existence. In the 1850s, Caselli invented the first pantelegraph – a device that could transmit not only lines, dots and characters, but also small images. In other words, Casellis invention made the conversation of pictures into electronic signals possible. Thus, the working methods of pantelegraph affected the further development of television. The most important events in the sphere of broadcasting happened in 1925 when John Baird, the Scottish engineer, for the first time, demonstrated the working television. The transmitted image was a monochrome mannequins head called Stooky Bill. Three years later, Baird managed to show an unprecedented color transmission. The world community became aware of televisions ability to demonstrate colors due to the inventions of Baird. Television became a profitable business, and the period after World War II was marked by the production of radio and TV equipment for consumer use. This process was the most apparent in the US, where per families possession of domestic tele
My Last Duchess The speaker is a lover of arts. He appreciates the appearance of the picture calling it a wonder. He, however, is skeptical of its appearance suggesting that the picture looks as though the Duchess is still alive. This tends to suggest that he does not regret the death of the Duchess. Moreover, it exposes his hatred for the Duchess who is dead. He is possessive having drawn a curtain to the picture so that only he can see it. While the beauty of the picture is so nice he would want to show off, his selfishness prompts him to draw a curtain over the picture. The speaker tends to hate the Duchess; he says his presence never made her happy. She was delighted by other things. The speaker is angry with the Duchess’s easily impressed demeanor. He says her heart was made glad too soon. The speaker is jealous saying her looks went everywhere. The speaker feels unappreciated and unattended to by the Duchess. He says she concentrated on other things like the mule she rode and the bough of cherries. He has a proud demeanor saying he would not stoop as low as the Duchess did. The speaker is dictatorial because he did give commands which were unappreciated by the Duchess as the commands stopped her smiles. He, however, never stops commanding often wanting to exercise control over the Duchess. He is regretful of the dowry he did pay and thinks the Duchess was just pretentious. These revelations evoke feelings of hatred for the speaker. It creates a feeling that the death of the Duchess was a relief to her person. The speaker must have imprisoned her in some way. Her freedom was curtailed, and she had to impress. The pride and non-remorseful demeanor of the speaker evoke the feeling of disgust. This is further exacerbated by the speaker’s selfishness always wanting attention. The Cask of Amontillado Montresor is one vengeful man from the onset. He narrates his singular mission to avenge an insult on his person. He is a proud man who will never allow insults to pass by. He even completes his narrative by asserting that, for over half a century, nobody has insulted him. It is this fact that makes him feel vindicated by his action of burying Fortunato alive. Montresor is a bright schemer. He is disappointed by his friend having insulted him. He thinks carefully about how he can have his revenge. By taking advantage of Fortunato’s weakness for the amontillado he not only comes out as bright but is opportunistic. He would not tackle the issue head-on but would hit from below the belt. He is pretentious. As they travel to get the supposed amontillado he pretends to care for Fortunato. At first, he expresses concern over wasting his friend’s time yet he can as well use the services of Luchresi. He afterward opines that the cold Fortunato is suffering from could be fatal. Fortunato, however, soldiers on very unsuspectingly. Further, Montresor pretends to be appreci
Learning and Memory of Consumer Behavior in Emirates Business corporations conduct consumer studies for the improvement of their marketing strategies. This enhances their understanding on how the consumers contemplate, sense, and reason amid different products they offer. Emirates airlines, as one of the greatest developed long-haul carriers, are no exception in this realm. Learning and memory of consumer behavior in emirates is of greater importance and requires extreme attentions for the survival of the business in this dynamic global market. Learning within the consumers entails a rigorous transformation of the pre-existing memory as well as behavior. It is not exclusively knowledge based, but inducement by influence is also relevant. It focuses on the already known and enactment of subsequent concrete behavior [1] . Learning and memory of the flight products are crucial at Emirates airlines. Various approaches of learning are taking course from which consumer awareness rests. One of such methods is a classical conditioning where consumers are natured to abide by the culture of the organization in terms of flight schedules, travelling conditions and all the benefits that abreast their products. Countless contemporary advertisers utilize the ideology to survive in the competitive market share. Restrictions in consumer awareness or information handing capabilities influence resolutions and marketing results. Concurrently, operant conditioning engages a diverse succession of events thus perceived as learning. The wide-ranging outline is behavior, consequence, and the possibility of the behavior to rise or descend. The Emirates Airlines embraces learning, as well as memory, to enact positive consumer behavior towards their products. They sometimes grant offers while trying out new products. Behavior arises from either individual realms, or groups. It entails the exploitation, disposal, and product acquisition. Importance of Marketers’ Understanding on Consumers Learning on Products and Services The marketers’ knowledge of how the consumers learn about their products is vital in the Emirates Airlines. The most fundamental one is for the marketing scheme meant to augment the promotion campaigns. The illustration of this concept is vivid by the discovery that travelers are more receptive to flight advertisements throughout December holidays when most tourists tend to fly abroad for leisure than any other season. The organization understands that new services primarily meet adoption by few individuals, and eventually the entire population. The marketers must be patient as the product steers through these rigorous phases while the organization has to finance the marketing projects to uphold the products buoyancy until they convene a commercial hit. The emirates marketers significantly understand how consumers learn about their services and support the gratification of initial customers, since they will in turn sway many successive clients’ brand preferences [2] . Emirates conditioning results Conditioning denotes the g
Leadership is essential to organizations and as such, a leader has to define his/her core competencies before getting to know those of his/her followers. Some of the core competencies that a leader should possess for effective leadership include vision and adaptability, priority setting, passion and intuition, competitive spirit, being a good listener, influencing, and trusting. One of the key leadership approaches is the use of the whole-person approach. The approach requires the use of the head, heart, feet and hands (Bruce and Montanezm 18). The benefits associated with this form of leadership are such as motivation, competencies, caring, inspiration, improved performance and production, expertise, values, expertise, integrity, and development of a an organizational culture. Moreover, the approach is a reflection of the human side of leadership. Under the whole-person approach, each of the parts (head, heart, hands, and feet) plays different roles although they are intertwined. They also represent different components associated with organizational leadership. The leader’s head stands for the unique expertise, knowledge, values, character, motivation, and competencies possessed by the leader (Bruce and Montanezm 18). It may also present the intellectual property, attitude, integrity and the education of the leader. The hands of the leader represent the skills, customer service, hand-on coaching, follow-through, implementation, and manufacturing (Bruce and Montanezm 20) The leader’s feet may represent the foundation upon which the leaders and the organizations were built, organizational stability, organizational culture, its growth, tradition, history, and the founders of the organization (Bruce and Montanezm 18). Lastly, the heart of the leader is the center stage of leadership. Particularly, it may represent hope, team spirit, emotional; intelligence, pride, core values, and feelings. When the four components are combined, they form the humanness in leadership. Therefore, an organization should treat its employees as human/whole person rather than mechanical producers. This approach ensures that an organization comes to terms with the real-world individual challenges that employees face in and outside the organization. Success in an organization is an attribute of those in charge. A successful organization is able to achieve its organizational objectives and develop a culture that incorporates the beliefs, culture, and values of different parties. Leaders are basically change agents endowed with power and influence. They are required to empower and influence their followers. Power is a form of control that a leader exe
