The recent article UAE infrastructure being built for EXPO 2020 to be permanent, published in The National, one of the leading UAE news portals, highlights the statement by the Minister of State and Managing Director for the Dubai World EXPO 2020 Reem Al Hashimi. According to the article, the infrastructure built for the upcoming event will be permanent in character, as opposed to the usual strategy of building short-term and cheaper versions designed to serve the purposes of the EXPO and being torn down shortly afterwards. The reason for such an approach, according to Reem Al Hashimi, is the investment into the possibilities the EXPO brings along. She’s also specified her high expectations on the revenues from participants and partners (Kassem 2016). Such high expectations are not unreasonable. The current state of the economy of the UAE is, by all means positive. Both the current and the predicted growth rates of the economy exceed those of China (Bouyamourn 2015), one of the exemplary players in the field. Such success, which looks even better when contrasted against the global picture, is attributed mostly to UAE’s diversification of the economy, with moving away from the oil as the main source of revenue and thoughtfully investing into the multitude of fields, including, but not limited to, tourism, hospitality, sports, and the strong emphasis on establishing links with foreign partners. This allows the country to stay stable, even amidst the oil price crunch. That is not to say it is not felt at all, with certain slowdown observable, but, according to various experts, this slowdown is not a threatening sign and will be overcome fairly quickly (D’Mello 2016). The country is already investing heavily in the most promising branches. The hospitality sector is experiencing rapid growth, with 96 new hotel projects planned for 2020, with most of them near the EXPO area. This will increase the already impressive number of hotel rooms by a third (Hassan 2015). The corresponding infrastructures, aimed at providing transportation and health care, are also thoroughly planned and invested, with the recent budget allocated for the EXPO exceeding $4 billion (Kassem 2016). Among the most impressive is Route 2020, a 15 KM metro line, which is among the structures that are built as a part of the “Dubai’s vision of growth” (Kassem 2016). Several steps are also taken towards encouraging international trade. The predicted revenue from easing sanctions on Iran and thus boosting the trade between the countries is $13 billion, which estimates 1 per cent of the nation’s GDP (Saadi 2016). Taking into account the multitude of possibilities presented by the attendance of the EXPO by the foreign investors (25 million visitors are expected, with nearly 70 per cent of them being from the other countries (Butt 2016)), and various steps were taken towards favouring the international relationship, the EXPO 2020 can be named an excellent opportunity
Introduction “Telemedicine, this is the use of telecommunication technology to provide medical services to the people remotely but sometimes can be used to provide medical information” (Charles 2008). This type of technology can be as simple as two medical doctors discussing over the phone, or as complicated as the use of Very Small Aperture Technology (Vsat) technology to discuss a consultation between two medical doctors in different parts of the world, ‘by the use of video-conferencing’. “The use of this technology is widely used everyday either by health professionals or large medical centers in different parts of the world” (Charles 2008). Types Telemedicine There are different kinds of telemedicine technology that are widely used in the health sector. “The first one is known as “store and forward”, this is used to send images from one place to another in different place” (Dunn 2007). It involves a picture is taken by the use of a camera; it is then stored and then sent using a computer to another place, it is mostly used in non-emergency situations. The other kind of telemedicine is “telepathology” its involves images in form of a pathology slides which are sent to another locations for diagnostic. But “The widely used kind of telemedicine is the use of two–way interactive TV (IATV), this involves face-to-face consultations between medical doctors in different parts” (Dunn 2007). Applications There are many applications for the use of Telemedicine world-wide in providing of health services to different types of people, for example.” at The University of Nairobi telemedicine is being used in oncology i.e. providing mental health care to patients in rural areas and also this technology has been used in various secondary schools in Kenya, by allowing school medical practitioner to consult a doctor” (Jane 1996), without going to the doctor. “Telemedicine has also been used in prisons, when it is dangerous to take a prisoner to the hospital for treatment; by the use of this technology prisoners have been prevented from escaping away” (Jane 1996). Advantages “The use of this technology has made specialized treatment in the urban and rural areas to be readily available to the common people” (Karinch 1994), telemedicine between a doctor in a rural area setup to a specialist has help in minimizing the patient travelling and it is cheap in cost that he/she may incur, “with videoconferencing medical practitioners are being trained in isolated rural health centers around the world and lastly this type of technology has cut the cost of health c
Christian beliefs have been advanced by Mark McMinn (1996). In that case, Christian counselors should not only focus on the current theological concepts knowledge and psychological methods, but also be in possession of spiritual maturity. Counselors in possession of the above three perspectives are well equipped in handling various aspects such as redemption, forgiveness, confession, sin, scripture and prayer. According to McMinn (1996), healing can only be triggered when a client has a healthy sense of self. With a health sense of self, an individual can identify his or her need which ends with him or her developing a meaningful relationship with God and people surrounding him or her. It is highly recommended for prayers to be performed outside counseling sessions or otherwise as it does not expose the client to any risk. On the contrary, prayer can be both beneficial and harmful. On the benefit side, the clients will have an idea on how to pray for themselves and be in touch with God. This can be achieved by the client worshiping God or petitioning in prayer. On the negative side is that prayers might enhance the relationship between the client and the counselor to the level of the patient thinking the counseling prayers are enough to sustain him. Christian counseling is significant because it integrates spirituality, theology and psychology into the live of the clients and the counselor. All the three aspects combined in Christian counseling gives an overview of how spirituality, theology and psychology can be utilized in order to help an individual in the identification of various aspects of their lives. In most cases, these aspects are often promoted when the counselor incorporates spirituality in their counseling sessions. For purposes of leading by example, counselors are always advised to be very mindful of their own spirituality. As a result, it has become a great challenge for counselors when it comes to handling their own spirituality (faith) with those of their client. They keep asking themselves various questions. For instance, is it right to talk with our clients about our Christian beliefs? As a result, spirituality will only be used when necessary in the client’s counseling session. McMinn (1996) provides counselors with ways in which they can incorporate their spirituality in their numerous counseling sessions. In addition to that, counselors are encouraged to incorporate Christian guidance into the lives of the clients. The Christian counselor main objective is to promote both spiritual and
Introduction According to Kimble (1961), learning is taken as the process that brings in a relatively permanent alteration in behavior or potentiality in behavior as a result of reinforcement. For leaning to take place there must be a permanent change in the behavior. Therefore learning omits those behavior changes that are not permanent such as sleeping, eating and so on. In addition the term learning also do not consider the permanent changes that result due to maturation as learning process. Learning and Cognition Whenever learning occurs, it is manifested as a change in behavior. The change though does not result immediately after learning, but occurs after some time span. Since learning cannot be studied directly, learning of behavior change is an important aspect because gives an inference to the process that preside behavior change and hence making the study of learning possible. Except for B.F. Skinner who considers reinforcement and punishment as the most important aspects of learning behavior, majority of the learning theorist consider that learning compose of a superseding variable between experience and behavior (Olson & Hergenhahn, 2009). This helps to differentiate performance and learning where performance exhibit the real learning as a behavior, although learning is regarded to take place before the exhibition of the learned behavior through performance. Thus it should be taken to represent potential for future behavior. Thus in summary, learning can be taken to represent behavior in potential that signify a superseding variable between experience and behavior; that ultimately gets expressed through the tool of performance. Conditioning is one process through which learning takes place. This type of learning was initially formulated by Pavlov and later augmented by Skinner. Conditioning can further be split into two groups. These are classical conditioning and Instrumental conditioning. In the former conditioning, learning occurs when animals master how to associate neutral stimulus with natural stimulus they are familiar with. For instance classical conditioning results when a dog salivates when a man with a lab coat passes. This can happen only if the man that feeds the dog wears a lab coat every time he does it. Therefore the dog learns to associate the lab coat with food. Thus every time it sees a lab coat it associates it with food. On the other hand, the latter conditioning is also known as operant conditioning and it occurs when a behavior that already exists is reinforced in order to increases its chances of reoccurrences (Olson & Hergenhahn 2009). Similarly it occurs when an animal masters to act in a certain manner in order to receive an intrinsically rewarding stimulus. This can be inferred by jumping of a trained dolphin from a pool of water so that to get a fish. This results if the dolphin is given a fish every time it reaps. These forms of learning are very important in the day to day lives since Classic
Current inventions in cellular technology have enhanced wireless communications. Cellular technology has been in existence since the early 1940s. Over time, the technology has evolved into a broad scientific field. Before the 1980s, only the security forces, personal vehicles, and emergency vehicles utilized the technology. During its inception period, most people never imagined that the society would one day rely on the technology in running and managing their daily activities. With the developments in the cellular technology, electrical engineering has been affected by the changes and development of this technology. Ever since the introduction of the first mobile phones in the 1980s, electrical engineering experts have relied on electrical principles in designing, maintaining, and expanding this technology. During the 1980s, cellular technology relied on analog transmission systems. However, with the support of the electrical engineers the technology now relies on digital transmission systems. With the aid of electrical engineers, cellular technology is now rated as the leading global economic driver. Electrical engineering principles have greatly shaped the wireless communications industry. In this regard, electrical principles and concepts have been applied in communication industry leading to the creation of new standards, knowledge, and wireless service ideas. Equally, electrical engineers have been relied on by telecommunication industries to design communication systems and devices. In general, cellular technology has depended on electrical engineers’ efforts to create and implement models and services used in the telecommunication industry. Before the adoption of this technology, telecommunication engineering was considered part of electrical engineering in industries and in higher learning institutions. However, with the increase in the use of this technology, numerous job opportunities in telecommunication industry have forced most of the universities to readjust their electrical engineering syllabuses. Notably, more institutions have separated telecommunication engineering from electrical engineering. Through these initiatives, telecommunication engineering has come to be taught as an independent course in most universities and colleges. With increase applications in cellular technology, electrical engineers, telecommunication engineers, and computer engineers can now work together enhancing the creation of new strategies and knowledge in the communication industries. Before the 1980s, electrical engineers, telecommunication engineers, and computer engineers rarely worked together as their roles and knowledge required them to work in specific areas related to their specialization. An increase in the use of cellular technologies in our everyday lives has forced these engineers and other IT experts to work together as a team-leading to the creation of innovative technologies. Through these initiatives, electrical engineering has been integrated with other scientific fields. Unlike in the few past de
Management accounting entails the process of preparing financial data and advice on management reports that provide timely financial and statistical details to aid in deciding accounting matters within an organization. This paper reviews a CPA Magazine article by Jacqui Kuypers dated September 1, 2014. The author seeks to determine the extent to which reports on supplementary matters on audit will change with the introduction of the Canadian Standard on Related Services (CSRS) 4460. The author gives the opinion that reports on supplementary matters will be altered significantly and in many cases. CSRS 4460 involves third party reviews to provide supplementing information that is not directly part of the audit and such provisions involve additional details, generalizations on personal interests, or recommendations. The author explores how much the aforementioned details on supplementary matters can change. This paper agrees with the opinion of Jacqui Kuypers. The author discusses the impacts of CSRS 4460, which links directly to the management decisions and duties that public accountants plus other officials are mandated to such as processing financial details, which other staff might not be in a position to realize. Organizations or companies often prepare financial details about certain issues concerning the entity to present to regulators, funding sources, or any other interested parties. Such details might involve whether the company possesses satisfactory books and records or changes in regulations that might have happened within a given time span (Kuypers 2014). The author claims that it is not always a simple task for the public accountant to provide the supplementary information, since the additional information goes past the details provided in an organization’s financial standings. Consistency lacks in the process of compiling these supplementary details. The author identifies that the Auditory and Insurance Standards board came up with the CSRS in June 2014 to aid public accountants in the provision of supplementary information on financial reviews. Non-profit run organizations such as public hospitals and municipal organizations among other entities are most likely to be affected by the CSRS standards. This assertion holds as the funders and regulators seek accountabil
Introduction The tradition to hold festivals and other celebrating events dates back to the post war period when such occasions were held on the national level. As reported by Allen et al. (2008), the dawn of festivals is usually dated in 1940s-1950s (p. 7). Besides, most festivals that are currently held are considered to root from the tradition of the post war period if they have floral name or the one of aboriginal origin. As a rule, festivals reflect the prosperity of the destination where they are held and enable the organisers of the event to attract more tourists. In this respect, festivals can be considered one of the tourist honeypots that contribute positively to the growth of economy and development of infrastructure. Type Of Event Length of event . The Moomba festival is held in Melbourne, Australia for four days during the weekend which pertains to the Labour Day long weekend that ends in the second week of March. As such, the beginning of the festival is on the second week of March. Reason for the event . The reason for the event includes a number of factors that reflect the events that were held in the early 1950s and predestined the start of the festival. The long weekend of the Labour Day, the visit of Queen Elisabeth II in 1954, and a desire of people to have a celebration, “to have fun” (which is the mission statement of the festival), “to share in the vibrancy and spirit of our much loved city” (City of Melbourne, n. d.) can be considered the reasons for starting the festival. How long the event has been running . The event has been running yearly since 1955 when it was first held; every year it is held during four days. Significance Of The Event To The Destination Economic Melbourne is one of the largest cities in Australia situated in South Australia. Its economic situation enables the city authorities to hold the festival every year regardless of economic and political situation. As suggested in the study by Dwyer and Dwyer (2010), the host country gains from the development of tourism whereas the suppliers of services also benefit as their businesses are developing owing to the growth of tourism (p. 225). Social The ethnic integrity is one of the important factors contributing to the positive image of Melbourne because only encouraging population to participate in it. Festivals and events associations started active development after the first festivals were held (Allen et al., 2008, p. 11). Interchanges between cultures of the locals and visitors are beneficial to the destination as people become aware of the cultural differences. Families and children like this festival; besides, participat
Yemen has become nowadays one of these states, inner problems of which can threaten the stability of the whole world. After a chain of serious protests and even military conflicts, the President of Yemen had to resign, leaving his state in a horrible state, however, still trying to save it and moving to Aden 1 . Reaction to these events was different. A great number of states have their own point of view. However, it is important to understand the position of some of them as being Yemens neighbors, they influence its policy greatly. Resting on these facts, it is necessary to analyze the position of the UAE as it is one of the most powerful states in the region. The first step of the government of the UAE was to stop any diplomatic relations with Yemen as its officials were taken as unconstitutional. However, having understood the importance of negotiations, the UAE reopened its embassy in Yemen. 2 This step can be taken as a very positive shift in the relations of these two states. The UAE, of course, understands the weakness and instability of the new government 3 however, its main aim is not to use military forces, but to try to solve this problem peacefully. In general, an attempt to regulate this question without using some brutal methods can be taken as the main guideline of the UAE in this region. It uses diplomacy as the main National Power to avoid another bloody military conflict in this devastated country and try to create some possible peaceful solution to this question. It is obvious, that the majority of the population does not support new forces, which now rule in Yemen. Moreover, a new conflict should not be provoked. The UAE has a great number of different possibilities to influence the situation. Each state has four basic elements of national power, which can serve as remedies to control the present international situation. It is obvious, that the UAE should avoid usage of the military one as it will lead to new casualties. It is also clear, that now the UAE tries to use diplomacy as the main method and achieve success and mutual understanding. However, their attempts can also lead to the division of the country. Being not against the idea to make Aden the capital 4 , the Gulf and the UAE support the officials of the country who have their own interests 5 , forgetting about some problems which exist in the state. However, forces, which now have great power and influence in Yemen, also realize this need in negotiations 6 . Al-Quaeda released Saudi diplomat, who had been a hostage for several years 7 This step can also signalize about the desire of this organization not to enter di
