The procedure of combining DNA in genetic design or genetic change and the living life forms made is called Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). The procedure is not straightforward as removing one quality and placing another DNA since genes are encompassed by structures that decide if a gene of one organism can work in another life form (Brookes and Peter 65). A cautious investigation of genetic engineering is required to make sure it is safe for humans and the environment. Genetic engineering is viewed as exceptional because the procedure manipulates genes in ways different from a natural occurrence. Improvements in genetic engineering have given the agricultural sector a technique for controlling plant characteristics. Such manipulation would ease the overbearing nature of population increase. The rate of starvation and malnutrition is increasing at an alarming pace (Bawa and Khanum 1040). Therefore, it is morally right to modify plants for better yield, nutrition, and food availability. Surveys reveal that underdeveloped countries live below the poverty benchmark (Brookes and Peter 65). This accounts for the high rate of starvation and famine in developing and underdeveloped nations. Support reliefs cannot adequately help impoverished nations. It is economical to transfer genetic engineering to poorer nations to alleviate hunger and starvation. Based on this definition, genetic engineering refers to the arrangement of innovations that control life form, genes, or activities that switches the hereditary makeup of cells and includes at least one new attribute not found in that life form (Peacock 100). DNA characterizes the hereditary make-up of organisms. Genetic engineering has an immense array of uses, for example, medical procedure, farming, drug prescription, and horticulture. With the genetic design, numerous plant species have created insusceptibility to the most deadly diseases. It has likewise made a difference in producing crop yields while lowering the cost of production. Today, various crop species are genetically altered to accomplish high nutritive value, quicker, and higher efficiency. Studies reveal the increasing number of nations accepting modified engineering to battle food shortage, offer nutritious foods, and develop crops insusceptible to different infections and nuisances. Genetic engineering, from many points of view, has stimulated a horticultural revolution, which many expectations will be enabled to wipe out hunger and starvation. Thus, to alleviate the problem of world hunger, it is morally right to modify plant traits through engineered crops to increase production. Genetic Engineering and Food Shortage Genetic manipulation was established with the agrarian business in the 1980s (Peacock 113). The most widely recognized application offers innovative fertilization and pest administration techniques that support high production levels while diminishing costs. Such outcomes are conceivable because these strategies consider more motorized work while decre
The offered case study revolves around the change process within the Norwegian hospital X. The central idea was to go paperless and shift towards using the most innovative ways to work with patients, including electronic patient records (EPR) and electronic care plans (ECP). The proposed reconsideration was associated with numerous challenges linked to the nature of new technology and staff experiences and skills. For instance, nurses training to acquire knowledge of how to use new approaches was complicated by the lack of time and the absence of experience. Also, nursing assistants were unfamiliar with paperwork and documents, which was an additional limitation. However, it is possible to admit the positive nature of the outlined change and its possibility to promote positive outcomes. Several reasons from the case can help to prove this statement. First of all, the change can be analyzed using Lewin’s model, implying three major phases. These are unfreezing, change, and refreezing typical for all processes. Thus, Norwegian hospital management followed the model, which served as the basis for positive outcomes. Preliminary meetings with the staff and discussions helped to clarify existing expectations and fears. During this phase, the top management and health workers created a shared vision and agreed to engage in the change process, although there were some factors that could be viewed as barriers to attaining success. Moreover, the benefits of integrating the EPR and ECP were outlined, contributing to the growing interest and motivation to participate in the process. It means that the successful unfreezing phase was one of the success factors influencing the change process in the selected hospital. Another positive aspect of change was the staff’s engagement and readiness to overcome difficulties. Thus, the integration of new technologies was viewed as something inevitable, which helped to establish a positive attitude toward the scope of change. Additionally, regardless of some problems discovered during the reconsideration of the unit’s work, the staff remained optimistic about outcomes and the possibility of achieving the current goals. It means that the organizational culture, values, and philosophy were considered and employed to create the basis for change and support it. At the same time, the case shows that project members and workers supported each other during the most critical moments and were ready to do extra work to ensure the change continues and there are no critical barriers influencing outcomes. Finally, the role of leadership should also be admitted as managers create the basis for change. It was achieved due to the close cooperation with team members and a clear outline of goals along with their benefits. Leaders play a critical role in any change process as they can introduce needed corrections or redistribute resources if any problems occur. For the discussed case, effective leadership helped to correctly address the emerging complexities and unit the staff. The high level of support and cooperation can be viewed as the result of the ef
The focal point of this paper is to critically analyze the novel by Deepak Chopra named ‘ The return of Merlin: a novel ’ published by Harmony Books in 1995. This text is a story set in modern-day Somerset, England, and tells the tale of relations between two constables, Katy Kilbride and Arthur Callum, and their approach towards a murder mystery that directs towards Arthurian lore. Here the story of King Arthur, Merlin, and the evil Mordred takes shape with a mystery linked in the distant past. Chopra is an Indian Ayurvedic holistic guru who has written several best sellers. Here too, he is seen engaging medicinal details within the parameters of the story with rather complex grafting techniques. The approach is helped by the legends of Arthur and the royal knights like Lancelot and Guinevere. Alongside the author incorporates several popular mysteries like spells, dreams, Excalibur- Arthur’s sword, Holy Grail, stone circles and sacrilege, Tarot cards, magic, and dragons. The book is a journey of murder and mystery to spirituality and hope at the end. However, the flavor of the book is more suited for corporate self-help text rather than pure literary patronage. The plot is set in the format of good and evil and simple black and white characters. These characters go into battle to behold the ultimate victory of the good. However, all these affairs are well-knitted with splinters of wit and garnishing of insights leading to spiritual elaborations. It speaks of trust, hope, and other humane qualities that draw parables of simple notations like light touch and daylights. This is the journey of the human soul through ignorance and hate through fear and darkness that ultimately reaches the zenith of awareness, empathy, love, and trust. All these elements are present in the text but a rather simplistic manner. The entire concept appears to be a made easy formula of human dignity and the journey towards spirituality. It should be mentioned that the author’s perception of the storytelling is brilliant and bold and consist of new interpretations of the Arthurian lore. However, it is particularly dependent on eastern philosophy juxtaposed with the quantum physics-related perception of the universe that is fundamentally temporally interconnected. It should be stated that is a completely new modern-day idea that is well blended with the ancient mythology of King Arthur. It should be mentioned that whatever it is to the critics or the ardent followers, on a personal level and in the general sense it would be very safe to mention that though this is criticized apparently from various territories in the ultimate sense it is a well-written book which has been a great success in the context selling and making business worldwide. To me, the context where the book, ‘ The return of Merlin: a novel ’ , could be best applicable is when one corporate house is going through a complete change or reconstruction and there is an immediate need for a morale boosting tool
Introduction Intelligence disciplines have become important tools in aiding collection of pertinent information that poses a threat to national security. Open Source Intelligence Service (OSINT), Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Measurement and Signatures Intelligence (MASINT), Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) are good examples of intelligence disciplines. These disciplines are used by the United States of America to collect vital information regarding various nations like Iran that have been involved in manufacturing nuclear weapons that threaten the security (Rublee 2). Applicable Intelligence Disciplines OSINT is an intelligence discipline that scrutinizes certain materials that have been made accessible to the public. This serves as a stepping stone towards assisting the United States to collect important information available to the Iranian citizens and the world population at large. This kind of intelligence discipline aids the Soviet Union to derive up to 90 percent of its intelligence (Rickwards 23). Further, it ensures that large quantity of data is gathered in a bid to come up with well structured information. The information should meet the threshold laid down by the advisory collector. In addition, OSINT relay vital information that exhibits the potential of the activities in an organization. Further, the information provided pertaining that particular organization cannot be derived from any other source. This simplifies the mode of classifying data and deriving trade assets as a result of compiling an open source data. It is therefore arguable that OSINT is one of the main intelligence sources applicable in detecting early disasters through the data collected. Accordingly, collection of OSINT data is not limited. Human Intelligence (HUMINT) is another imperative intelligence discipline which leverage gathering of necessary information regarding nuclear weapons produced in Iran. Human intelligence has been associated with open sources. The intelligence engages in obscured activities on the one hand, and the persons behind the intelligence sources on the other. It is also not in doubt that unconcealed behaviors are executed in an open arena. Various activities under the intelligence may include making use of uncategorized or forum materials. Other activities entail working in the interrogation centers for refugees and captives of war and also debriefing legal travelers who are of interest to a nation’s intelligence services. Furthermore, clandestine sources relay information to a foreign nation which is imperative in providing necessary information about a nation’s involvement in manufacturing nuclear weapons and foreign citizens who creep into a country to conduct a research. United States has clandestine sources in Iran that are vital in providing the nation with crucial information on Iran’s involvement in nuclear weapons which can be a threat
Situation The definition of the situation and its description is fully done through three stages. This is done through the help of the marketing manager, Cruiser Thorr, for the Thorr motor cycles. The situation exists in three different stages and the manager handles all the three stages. Since the manager could not do the entire task, alone he had to get support of his three co-workers. The situation is therefore carried out in three segments, that is the situation itself, my decision and proposed advice. The simulation aspect was to show the extent to which differentiation and positioning related. While differentiation is the design of a product to make it, unique and different from that of the others in the same industry, positioning are the strategies employed to introduce the same product in the market place so that it is in the position to realize the firm adequate sales volume. Our product Cruiser Thorr is unique in a variety of ways, the design makes it acceptable by people with a unique lifestyle and the price is quite affordable. The positioning of the product in the market puts it at the top to be adopted by people of a high class in the society. The position granted to the motor cycle could not be shaken by even repositioning of the same product. This was given a test when other aspects of repositioning were provided, i.e. injecting more finances; this only made the product more stable in the market. Situation 1 demanded that completely different information be scrutinized to aid in deciding on a new marketing plan for the motor cycle. This was suggested from Cruiser Thorr since its sales were drastically going down given the old designs and, hence, and older target market, therefore, new strategy to market the product was warranted. This was done by integrating identified four elements of the perceptual map to determine whether the Thorr motor cycles were up to the competition, it was yet to face. When the engines of the motor cycle and those for the competitors were compared, it was significant that Thorr’s design was more superior. The prices were reviewed concurrently, and it was realized that Thorr motor cycles were cheaper and affordable as compared to the rest. The recommended solutions that Thorr cycles adjust the prices to fit the younger generation and modify the design were appropriate; this is because the products would be promoted rapidly. The market share as compared to that of the competitors would be busted from the current 40%. The sales for the previous periods were also recorded to have collapsed and this was attributed to the adjustments in population elements, which were realized and handled appropriately. Since the company needed to incorporate the younger generation into its market based, they got obliged restructure some of their marketing strategies to enable them penetrate the new market (Pessoa & Weerd 2003). Therefore, the responsible individuals had to get down and know what the market was in need of, the considerations to deliver and form the perceptual maps for simulation. This could only happen in phases where stage
In the XVI-XVII centuries, when the High Renaissance and Baroque were prospering in Europe, religion undeniably influenced the development of art. The religious upheavals greatly expanded the sphere, bringing many icons, altars, stained glass windows, and other art objects displaying religious motifs. In this paper, using the example of several specific pieces, it is discussed how religion was one of the key stimuli for the development of painting and was invested in the subtexts of many works. Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel Ceiling depicting stories from the book of Genesis is considered one of the greatest examples of Renaissance painting. It is divided into 33 sections, each of which is painted with different scenes. The plot of the book of Genesis is depicted in nine central fragments, while other spaces are occupied by the Old Testament scenes and depiction of the ancestors of Christ. Michelangelo originally conceived bright colors, but the shades faded and became darker after the restoration. The figures’ skin tones are pale peach, and the clothes are painted in pale pastel tones, which leaves a feeling of calm and grandeur. The ceiling of the Sistine This work primarily reflects Michelangelo as a deeply religious and devout man. The complex and unusual iconography is considered a Neoplatonic interpretation of the Bible, representing the main stages of the spiritual development of humanity and the dramatic relationship between man and God (Gilbert, 2022). To fill an almost unimportant ceiling space with such a painting demonstrated a deep respect for the religious motives of that time. Isenheim Altarpiece by Grünewald was painted for the hospital chapel of the Monastery of St. Anthony in Isenheim. The painting was created five years before Luther nailed his Protestant theses to the doors of Wittenberg Cathedral in 1517, but it perfectly reflects the agony of the early 16th century. In this sense, Grunewald’s tortured masterpiece is the complete opposite of modern Italian works of the High Renaissance. While the crucifixion is gloomy, though deathly pale, the other panels are marked by Grunewald’s vibrant Renaissance color palette, as well as his unique images of the devil. The altarpiece challenges its viewer through its depression of the reality of suffering and makes them question how “good” can come out of it (Aramini, 2018). The religious subtext, focusing on the suffering and pain of Christ’s crucifixion, has a huge psychological impact on the viewer. Four Apostles by Durer praises both the sustained style of art of the Northern Renaissance and the intense cultural significance of the Protestant Reformation. The picture, painted on two canvases, has many aspects of humanism, most noticeable in the expressions of the four apostles’ faces. John is looking intently at th
People may think and want to live together in harmony. It is a general perception among the majority of the citizens. But this does not always mean that people’s expectations become their accomplishments. Crime has continued to be part of humanity for different reasons. Murder is a crime that can lead to imprisonment after a trial. Premeditated murder is a crime of wrongfully and intentionally causing the death of another human being. One rationally considers the timing, or method of doing so, to either increase the likelihood of success or to evade detection or apprehension. State laws in the US differ and vary in their definitions of premeditated murder. It is one of the most serious homicides. The offender receives greater punishment than the manslaughter charge. It is punishable with a death penalty, or a life sentence without the possibility of parole. The federal law criminalizes it at Title 18 United States Code Section 1111 (Wastell, Weeks, Wearing & Duncan, 2012). The police must first make an arrest. It is the act of taking a person into police custody. It could be voluntary or non-voluntary. It depends on the actions of the suspect. There are circumstances that lead to an arrest (Wastell, Weeks, Wearing & Duncan, 2012). The police officer may observe the crime personally. The officer may also have a probable cause after conducting further investigation. A valid warrant of arrest can cause the officer to make an arrest. The order of detention identifies the crime by the suspect, names the individual, provides suspect’s location, and authorizes the police officer to proceed with the arrest. However, the arrest can become unlawful if there is reasonable evidence to prove
The process of globalization has penetrated multiple aspects and levels of our life. It has influenced the world’s economics politics and, of course, it has affected the world’s society. Causing a lot of intercultural migrations, the process of globalization has created various ethnic and social clashes among the world’s population. Social diversity inflicted by the process of globalization has been developing for decades, although it started to be recognized and taken into consideration as a serious social factor only recently. Large multinational countries such as the United States grew to understand the importance of social and ethnic diversity in such spheres as a business, marketing, and mass media. The cultural, ethnic, and social diversity issues became extremely popular over the last decade. The level of their reflection in the mass media such as television, radio, magazines, and newspapers increased significantly after the beginning of the 2000s. This phenomenon is easy to follow, even without conducting any special research. It is enough to remember the movies and TV shows popular at the end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s. “Hercules,” “Charmed,” “Sex and the City,” “Law and Order,” “Friends,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Beverly Hills,” “General Hospital” and “The X-files” had none or very few representatives of ethnical minorities featured as main characters. This issue also concerned the scriptwriters, directors, and crew member, who was prevalently Caucasian (Harvey & Allard, 2011). The situation is very different today. Ethical and social diversity in contemporary films and shows is presented quite well. Besides, news portals online and news shows on television started to address the problems and crises of the social minorities, but this led to more discrimination issues because the ethnic minorities found themselves presented in a negative way mostly, which formed racial and cultural stereotypes against the representatives of various ethnic groups. Eventually, the growing numbers of immigrants in the United States led to the appearance of ethnic media such as newspapers and television channels focused only on the culture-specific issues, entertainment and news, and using the native languages of various cultural groups (Harvey & Allard, 2011). The rapid growth of popularity of the Internet resulted in the occurrence of ethnic branches and versions of popular social networks. The size of the audience of various TV channels and the number of users of different social media is no longer measured based on cultural roots and backgrounds of people. Today the statistics estimating the popularity of various media resources rely mostly on the age of the viewers. It is important to remember that we live in a world where the Wor
Throughout history, and since its earliest beginnings, Chinese medicine has formed a significant part of Chinese culture. It would be important to note that the basic concepts of Chinese philosophy were used to explain not only all of the happenings in nature but human activities as well. In the past, the Chinese have made vast contributions to medicine in areas such as physiology, pharmacology, clinical medicine, public health and acupuncture; just to name a few. The majority of these practices came to Europe via Asia along the Silk Road and across the sea from the Arabs. This discussion will examine the history of Chinese medicine and its place within our world, from its initial beginnings right up until modern times. In order to conduct a distinctive evaluation of Chinese medicine, we must realise that for around two thousand years, Chinese society was built in an entirely different fashion to Western civilization. Their society was based around bureaucratic feudalism, while Europe was formed more around aristocratic military feudalism. China was governed (and to a certain extent still is) by an extensively complex civil service; of which members are taken from the learned gentry. Instead of Earls and Barons, there were Governors and Magistrates. As it could be assumed, the influence of this specific type of government upon society would in turn have a profound influence upon Chinese medicine as well as the culture it pertains to. The historical origins of Chinese medicine are said to have gone back as far as the 29 th Century BC. Yet, recent work and studies have shown that it has gone back even further. The father of Chinese medicine has been said to be Shennong, who is also know as ‘The Heavenly Husbandman’ – a legendry emperor who gave birth to Chinese agriculture and had himself tasted the many types of plants, in order to discover their med
