Communication is an inevitable part of human life. People share information which helps them live and develop. Demonstrative communication is an inseparable part of communication and it, by all means, plays an important role in people’s life. It can enhance effectiveness of communication. On the contrary, it can also destroy any communication and make it ineffective. Notably, people resort to demonstrative communication without noticing it. However, understanding major principles of demonstrative communication will help avoid any misunderstanding and help achieve effective communication only. First, it is necessary to understand what demonstrative communication is. Demonstrative communication is non-verbal and unwritten communication which includes facial expression, voice tone, gestures, posture and even hairstyle and clothes. Notably, demonstrative communication cannot be as objective and comprehensive as verbal or written communication. However, it enhances the latter types of communications and enriches them, so-to-speak. Thus, demonstrative communication can make communication effective or ineffective. For instance, if the candidate is inappropriately dressed at a job interview, it can make the communication ineffective as the demonstrative communication has been inappropriate. In this case, the demonstrative communication was negative for the sender as he failed to create the necessary image to achieve the major goal of the communication (i.e. to get the job). Another example of ineffective demonstrative communication can involve voice tone. An employee can speak with a client (or even hisher colleagues) using quite unfriendly tone. The client (or colleague) can be upset or annoyed or he/she can think the employee is impolite or even rude, even though the employee has not used any rude words and was polite (verbally). Of course, the communication will be ineffective in this case. It is necessary to note that this case is an illustration of negative demonstrative communication for both, sender and receiver. In the first place, the client (or a colleague) may become annoyed and even forget about the goals of the communication or can become reluctant to communicate. Of course, this will lead to a wasted time and bad mood. Therefore, it will be ne
Related Issues Over time and depending on the severity of a particular case of diabetes, a form of nerve damage called neuropathy can actually occur resulting in either chronic pain in the toes, arms, legs, feet, or arms of a person or a complete loss of sensation felt like either a form of weakness or numbness in the affected area (Ziegler, et al. 2009). Early identification and intervention are necessary in order to determine the extent of the pain, whether it has other underlying causes, and to administer some form of treatment whether in the form of prescribed medication or even surgery (Bair, et al. 2010). Unfortunately, one of the problems to diagnosis is the fact that many individuals suffering from discomfort or pain (often the elderly) at times deny feeling any pain whatsoever in order to exude an image of health and wellness while in reality they are in severe pain and are barely able to function (Bair, et al. 2010). It is based on this that this paper will develop a questionnaire and utilize it on a variety of respondents currently afflicted by diabetes. It is the goal of this paper to develop an effective method of questioning so as to facilitate better practices of intervention so as to prevent a patient’s condition from worsening. Questions   * Would you say that within the past two weeks you have been experiencing random moments of slight pain in different areas of your body?   * If you have experienced sudden pain as a result of your condition would you say that it has been escalating or abating?   * What area on your body would you say gives the greatest amount of discomfort on a weekly/daily basis?   * Do you experience pain as a result of doing particular activities?   * Would you say that after resting for a few hours the pain you experienced has abated or is it still present? Strategy in Gaining Participants It is the belief of this paper that the best strategy for gaining respondents is to go to various clinics and hospitals within the local area and ask people that have been diagnosed with diabetes if they would be willing to answer a short questionnaire in order to facilitate better medical practices in the future. Other potential strategies include the use of surveymonkey.com, a free online survey maker, wherein through the use of online social media such as Facebook and Google Plus various respondents can be contacted and asked to fill out the survey online. It is expected that by utilizing such methods a sufficient number of respondents will be reached resulting in a greater degree of accuracy regarding the survey results. Planned Methodology When Questionnaires are being given In the case of face-to-face interactions, when askin
The paper is devoted to the description of Chainlink mechanisms and opinions on their future. More importantly, it concerns the future of cryptocurrency and its expected influence on society in the nearest future. Thus, the topic is timely in connection with the tendency of the world’s switch to informational technology usage in day-to-day life globally and on an individual level. The topic is prevalent due to its growing usage in the world. The previous research in this field touched on such issues as out-sourcing, off-shoring, and foreign direct investment within a system view of international business (Casson & Wadeson, 2013). The researchers have also examined competition between alternative cryptocurrencies and their differences (Gandal and Halaburda 2014) and their integration with fiat-based currencies and direct use for providing citizens with central bank money (Seretakis 2017). Regarding the system perspective, the global production system consists of international supply chains, which are the basic building blocks. An individual supply chain for a particular product is a “microcosm of the system as a whole” (Seretakis 2017). From an economics perspective, Chainlink provides some of the advantages of a centralized digital platform – the reliance of the partite ability of participants to rely on a shared network and benefit from network effects (Catalini & Gans, 2019). Additionally, Chainlink helps avoid some of the consequences the presence of an intermediary may introduce, such as increased market power, control over participants’ data, the presence of a single point of failure, and more. Consequently, relative to existing financial networks, Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies may lower the barriers for new service providers. An alternative monetary policy for individuals that do not live in countries with trustworthy institutions may be an additional function. As a peculiar technology for digital currencies, the blockchain is a technical solution to the double-spending problem that hitherto had defeated all endeavors to create a noncentralized peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Blockchain deals with this issue using a decentralized database with network-enforced processes based on a proof-of-work consensus mechanism for updating the database (Davidson, De Filippi & Potts, 2016). However, the worth and significance of blockchain do not depend upon the value and prospect of Bitcoin. Instead, blockchain is better understood as a new general-purpose technology in the form of a highly transparent, resilient, and efficient distributed decentralized public database. Such kind of ledger can be applied to the disruption of any centralized system that coordinates valuable information. Blockchain technology is trustless, in other words, it does not require third-party verification. Instead, it uses a consensus mechanism with crypto-econ
Research design refers to the way researchers plot their study in terms of the findings they intend to draw from it (Miles, & Huberman 1994, p. 56). The qualitative research aims at exploring the nature and effects of indirect aggression among teenage girls in details. It also intends to study the existent intervention measures and further come up with more effective intervention schemes that will ensure the containment of the vice. To achieve its objectives, it uses a co-relational design, which relates aggression with social and psychological factors such as rejection, loneliness, depression and isolation. As a result, the researchers are able to come up with a model containing the explanations of why girls indulge in indirect aggression, what they do while indulging in it and the effects of the aggression on victims and bystanders. They also provide the characteristics in victims that make them susceptible to victimization, and intervention measures that are existent, as well as those that need further investigation and application. Evidently, this is a wise design to use, as it incorporates every aspect of the study within an observable model while also linking the various categories to portray the way they relate to each other. Moreover, such a co-relational design leaves room for inclusion of new categories that a researcher may think of later in the research. For instance, in this case, the characteristics of the victims of indirect aggression were an afterthought, yet it fit neatly into the final model, and provided additional insight into the nature of the indirect aggression. The quantitative study’s main aim was to establish the relationship between recurrent peer victimization and the onset of self-reported symptoms of anxiety and / or depression in early teen years (Salmon, & Smith 1998, p. 984). To achieve this purpose, the researchers applied a prospective study, which was a cohort study carried out over two years. This design was not the best that could have been applied for such a research especially because it does not give enough time for the participants to exhibit generalizable results. Two years is not sufficient to come up with a report on the effect of bullying on the emotional well-being of teenagers because for most of these adolescents, bullying had occurred way before grade eight and would continue to occur long after grade nine, with possibly radical effects on their emotional wellbeing. Setting such tight p
Introduction The UAE is both an economic and political leader in the Middle East region, mainly due to its exceptionality in international relations. In particular, the Emirates has a unique nation structure that allows them to integrate traditional and modern aspects to build a strong international brand. Additionally, the UAE is using global cooperation to address the existing risks that arise from the integration of numerous international businesses and different cultures. This diplomatic course allows the Emirates not only to develop national institutions and attract investors but also to improve the entire Middle East region due to its geopolitical positioning. UEA International Relations Exceptionality A unique diplomatic course was developed by the UAE after gaining independence. A significant role in this process was played by a significant difference in the perception of the world from the Western model (Guéraiche, 2019). Concentric circles, which include other states that are united by the emirates, have become the basis for building the UAE federation. Interaction includes the emirates themselves, the Arab states, the Muslim states of the Persian Gulf, as well as other states of the world (Guéraiche, 2019). Thus, the UAE’s foreign policy relations are based precisely on this structure, although economic and security issues are mainly resolved, taking into account the closest neighbors. At the same time, the structure of the state ensures political stability by granting significant autonomy to the emirates (Antwi-Boateng and Binhuwaidin, 2017). This system allows not only to make more flexible and quick decisions but also to strengthen the bond between citizens and rulers. Nation branding plays a significant role in the economic development of the federation, as well as in shaping the new diplomacy. The UAE sees itself as the heir to the traditions of the Middle East, but at the same time, operates with modern commercial tools to attract investment (Guéraiche, 2019). In particular, since the 1980s, the development of Dubai as a commercial and tourist center, which would be associated with the UAE, began. Combined with a nation-building strategy, “the promotion of one benefited the other, developing mutual promotion” (Guéraiche, 2019, p. 102). The diversification of the economy allowed the federation not to rely solely on oil production, as in other Arab countries (Antwi-Boateng and Binhuwaidin, 2017). Due to the development of other economic areas, AEO is now a “major leader in tourism, green energy, and aviation” (Antwi-Boateng and Binhuwaidin, 2017, p. 533). Thus, the Emirates has used a mixture of traditional values ​​and modern commercial tools to quickly build a reputation and attract investors. The peculiarities of UAE diplomacy, and in particular integration at the economic, political, and social levels, lead to increased risks. In particular, the federatio
This essay discusses the causes of poverty in the world. Poverty and related social inequality are as old as human history. Over the years, people have postulated many causes of poverty and social inequality. The many causes of poverty not withstanding, many definitions of the phenomena have been established. Whichever the definition, poverty is associated with want, lack of or deprivation of necessities in life. According to World Bank, people are individuals who survive on less than a dollar per day. Despite the fact that living below a dollar, especially in urban areas, is an indicator of being poor, this definition does not apply in given contexts. For people living in some rural areas, the value of what they use as per their market pricing is lower than a dollar. However, considering the quality of life they live, they are better off than many others who live on more than ten dollars a day in the big cities of the world. Therefore, poverty is a complex concept and highly relative in its application or misapplication. Poverty Rates in the World The world of today has the many people living in better socio-economic conditions than a century ago. However, the divide between the rich has widened over the years with the poor in the world forming an overwhelming majority. Statistics indicate that Africa carries the bulk of the poor in the world. However, even in highly developing nations like India and China, given regions are notably highly impoverished. The impoverished regions of the world are characterized by dilapidated housing, lack of access to education, health care, frequent famines and other humanitarian disasters and catastrophes. Due to poor infrastructure, response to problems is not efficient and effective enough thus resultant high impacts of disasters that would otherwise be averted. To understand this point better, one has to consider how a natural disaster like a tsunami of say Katrina’s magnitude would affect a third world country. The effects would be high due to poor response unlike what actually happened in the USA. Overpopulation and World Poverty One of the major factors that have contributed to poverty in given areas of the world is overpopulation (Jones 137). The condition of having many people with fewer available resources combined with little space inevitably results in poverty. Uncontrolled birth rates, in places like Africa, have resulted in a general population boom. The population upsurge has continually exerted pressure on available resources in the world. The available resource in given countries can only support a given number of people (McCarthy 42). One of the critical resources that support mankind is farming. A majority of people around the world depend on farming or general agriculture for sustenance. Population upsurge and resultant splitting of land into smaller pieces has led to less food production. Culture and World Poverty Culture is one of the reasons why people
Introduction Nowadays, the replacement of paper-based documentation by computers is vastly common. This report aims to discuss the implementation of the electronic health record (EHR) system in the context of business continuity. Numerous related issues will be considered while establishing the principal objectives, activities, and challenges. Also, this report will provide the rebuttal of the skepticism toward the implementation. Primary Tasks and Major Policies The primary task is to implement the EHR system as it provides “efficient and real-time services to patients and create improvements in quality, flexibility, and patient safety” (Rezaeibagha, Win, & Susilo, 2015, p. 23), and to maintain the system on the terms of business continuity. Therefore, three major policies should be applied:  1. utility and availability of the EHR system should be provided under any adverse conditions,  2. security of the EHR data must be continuously maintained,  3. the system as a whole should be continually developed and evaluated. Those policies aim to provide the continuity of access to data. Ongoing Evaluations and Procedural Changes Based on the aforementioned policies, the ongoing evaluations should be carried out to continually monitor the situation by collecting the statistical data and analyzing it. It would provide an adequate assessment of the EHR system’s efficiency. Further, based on those evaluations, it is possible to compose a detailed business continuity plan, which would help to estimate the potential adverse outcomes and, accordingly, to prevent them (Niemimaa, 2015). The primary procedural change that should take place is the transition from the paper-based health record system to the electronic format, which imposes a significant amount of work on the company. Rebuttal of Skepticism Although some might view the implementation of the electronic health record system from the skeptical point, its efficiency is undeniable. There is considerable apprehension about the monetary value of the EHR system since it comes with a potentially large price tag. However, the adequate execution of the business continuity (BC) plan would help to benefit from the investment and to prevent the company from losses. In particular, such factors as “strong management support, a visible business champion, sufficient resources, effective user participation, appropriate technical team skills and source system data quality” are valuable in the efficient implementation of the BC plan (Foshay & Kuziemsky, 2014, p. 22). In the next section, the most fundamental aspects of the project will be discussed. High-Level Activities
Introduction Today, we live in the age of automation, with machines and robots penetrating all spheres of human activity. Numerous advantages associated with technologies make them the first choice for organizations to boost their effectiveness and reduce the effort and resources needed to achieve a certain goal. For this reason, there is a tendency towards the reconsideration of traditional methods and their replacement by innovative ones, which guarantees better outcomes. However, automation is sometimes viewed as a two-edged sword as robots are used instead of workers and take up their job opportunities. There are numerous fears that, in the future, human beings with be replaced with automated systems to perform different tasks and attain better results. At the same time, there is an opposing view, stating that people will always have jobs and automation should not be viewed as a threat. The suggested paper offers the analysis of two different opinions on the issue presented by Autor and Rotman in their articles, discussion of their arguments, and reflection on the future of people in the age of technologies and automation. Identification Rotman starts his paper with the statement that “that robots, automation, and software can replace people might seem obvious to anyone who’s worked in automotive manufacturing” (1). The given argument becomes the central idea of the paper as the author offers several points to prove it. First of all, he suggests the economic reason which is associated with robots. Productivity is one of the main factors driving the development of industries and the modern world. In such a way, the amount of economic labor created for a unit of input is the vital determinator of the wealth of a nation and its current economic state (Rotman 2). For this reason, the more value is generated from workers, the richer any country becomes. However, according to Rotman, in 2000, productivity continued to rise, while the employment and job creation patterns decreased (1). The main reasons for the emergency of this tendency included automation and the start of the age of robots. In such a way, technological progress boosts productivity but decreases the demand for many types of jobs, which has a pernicious impact on individuals. Rotman states that there is another change in the sphere of clerical work and professional services, as robots and such technologies as Web, AI, and Big Data contribute to the automation of routine tasks and their cheapening (2). From the employer’s point of view, the use of various devices guaranteeing better output along with minimum input is a preferable option, which can be used to benefit from additional income. At the same time, AI replaces jobs that have traditionally been performed by people because of the need for specific decision-making (Rotman 3). Under these conditions, Rotman’s main argument is that robots and technologies do destroy jobs and reduce employment rates because of their effectiveness and the ability to demonstrate better productivity levels. Using economic and social pieces of evidence, he states that many pe
