The twentieth century witnessed unprecedented development in the spheres of technology and science. This could not be overlooked by the creative part of society: the musicians of the century reflected the tendency to intellectualism, scientific perception of the world, and mechanization processes in their works. Together with this, they maintained active interest in and drew inspiration from their national identities and heritage, as well as in the artifacts of general historical value. The listed tendencies can be traced in such works as Sergei Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto #3 , Ottorino Respighi’s “Pines of Rome”, and Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana . This report considers performances of Prokofiev’s Concerto by Martha Argerich, Respighi’s symphonic poem by Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Herbert Karajan, and Orff’s cantata by a joint chorus under Jeffrey Thomas. The Russian modernist composer Sergey Prokofiev is famous for his piano performance skills as well. His mastery of the instrument allowed him to experiment in the sphere of piano music, discovering new playing and sound generating techniques. Prokofiev also experimented with various genres and forms of piano music. In the context of his revolutionary style, his Piano Concerto #3 (1921) appears to be quite complying with the traditional standards of a three-movement design. This Concerto is now among the most widely known and performed Prokofiev’s large works for piano, by large due to its recognizable and distinctive melodies. The whole piece, even some of its lyrical parts, is penetrated by Prokofiev’s sharp sarcastic humor. Starting by a nostalgic Russian-style lyrical melody performed by clarinet solo and carried on by the strings, the first Adagio-Allegro quickly passes to an active burst of passages and chords in a much faster tempo. The stirring dialogue of the piano and orchestra soon comes off to a march-like chord theme performed by piano solo, followed by a strictly rhythmic new theme in the orchestra. After the next fragment of dialogue between the soloist and the orchestra, the initial nostalgic melody reappears played by the whole orchestra and varied afterwards by the piano flowing in a Rachmaninov-like meditative figuration. This pensiveness is interrupted by a sudden passage which brings back the second, active theme of the movement. The rest of the movement is dedicated to incredibly virtuosic piano tricks in active motion, featuring, inter alia, glissandos and the famous Prokofiev’s technique of playing with one hand over the other. The second movement, Thema con Variazioni , is opened by a coquette march-like yet softly laid out melody performed by the wood winds and further developed in a series of variations. While the first
Education is the key to success and prosperity in the modern world, because it is one of the most essential elements of people’s life. However, since a certain part of population failed to be educated, the necessity in adult education appeared. The means that is practiced most often in the modern world, the so-called community-based education, or CBAE, is considered “an educational process by which individuals (in this case adults) become more competent in their skills, attitudes, and concepts in an effort to live in and gain more control over local aspects of their communities through democratic participation,” according to Galbraith (para.10). Being an effective means to help adults obtain the required minimum of knowledge, CBAE has developed from the strategy that used to be narrowed down to a range of elements into a functional set of strategies that have an impressive effect and contribute to the adult education enforcement. It is essential to stress that, throughout the course of its development, CBAE strategy has developed into a complex issue which includes a number of aspects, and has turned into an Integrated Community-Based Adult Education (ICBAE). Incorporating various elements, it allows to train the necessary skills that will help an adult to develop his/her professional skills. Basing on multiple issues, as Aspin claims, ICBAE approach is based on such principles as “community participation, empowerment, ownership and sustainability” (Aspin 673). To understand the way the CBAE strategy works, it is necessary to consider each element of CBAE strategy structure in particular. Speaking of the community participation, one must mark that the given element is the essence of CBAE, since it is the community that takes care of the organization and the implementation of the CBAE strategies. As Hamilton explains, with the help of the active participation of the community members, the financial support that makes CBAE organizations independent from the government funds can be obtained (43). Another principle that the CBAE is based on, empowerment, or “the promotion of self-actualization or influence” (Rubenson 133), which concerns rather psychological issues than the educational ones, is also of great importance for the process of adult education. Placed at the top of Maslow Hierarchy of Needs (Boeree 2006), this element contributes to the self-esteem of the participants. With the help of the ownership principle, CBAE process becomes more flexible and can be easily adapted to the needs and wants of the students, which is quite significant for adults. Adults prefer studying when being able to adjust the curriculum to their working schedule and feel that they have the control over the process. As Preston comments, “negotiating courses were fundamental to creating a sense of ownership of the learning process” (92). The last, but not the least, the principle of CBAE sustainabi
Concepts, Their Definition and Interpretation When dealing with healthcare issues, it is crucial to make sure that every single concept is absolutely clear and understandable; otherwise, a case of misinterpreting a specific concept may entail drastic effects and affect a patient’s health in the most negative way. Thus, definition of several basic healthcare concepts is required. Res judicata According to the existing definition, the term “res judicata” is used to denote a court case that has been considered and the verdict for which has been passed, which means that no further appellations are possible (Pozgar, 2011). Res ipsa loquitur Translated as “the case that speaks for itself,” the given term denotes the case in healthcare the key causes of which can be learned based on the assessment of the results. Therefore, even when there is no direct evidence for the verdict to be passed, the judgment is passed anyway based on what the outcomes say. Stare decisis For the legislation systems based on the rule of precedent, state decisis is the guiding principle that obliges the court to apply the rule deduced from the previous case of a similar nature in order to solve a particular case. The similarity between the cases is defined based on the similarity between the facts. Independent contractor An independent contractor can be defined as a person or a company that is entitled to provide specific services to its legal partner, i.e., another person or company, based on the agreement that was signed previously. Once knowing what each of the issues above includes and what theories it is based on, one can provide adequate healthcare services. Elements of Negligence and Their Effects Negligence in healthcare is often considered the root of all evil – or, to be more exact, the factor that causes most ethical and legal issues within the field of healthcare. Truly, the fact that negligence leads to a number of complexities, not to mention that it clashes with Hippocratic Oath, cannot be doubted. However, despite its complexity and the fact that it is partially rooted in human nature, negligence can be dealt with once its core elements are analyzed. According to Pozgar (2011), the very act of negligence presupposes that the following elements should be introduced:   * Duty (standard) of care;     (Rules and regulations setting the healthcare standard)   * Breach of duty;     (The process of breaking or state of having broken the corresponding healthcare principles)   * Injury;     (The results of breaking the rules, i.e., patient’s health deterioration)   * Causation.     (Establishing links between causes and effects and learning the lesson). It is quite peculiar that, technically, not all of the elements listed above are the actual parts of the process of negligence; instead, the given phenomena can be classified as the prerequisites for being negligent (i.e., t
When children work in groups, it is necessary to make appropriate choices regarding their teams. Not only this activity makes students more supportive to one another, but it also helps them understand their team roles. The following paper will divide all the children from Ms. Jensen’s 7th grade list into groups so that they could organize themselves and show their best qualities in the upcoming in-class activities in English. Discussion For in-class assignments in language disciplines, it is important to group children appropriately. Otherwise, their knowledge and self-appraisal rates might not benefit from such activities. According to the grouping model considered in the given task, the knowledge of children in one group does not have to be on totally different levels (Barsade & Knight, 2015). In turn, every participant of one team must be able to enrich his or her partners’ knowledge by sharing their specific experiences. The first group will consist of Aryanna, Gabriel, Michael, and Suzanne. These students are at the top of the class as their levels of knowledge in all of the selected labels (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) are not lower than intermediate. Every student of the group has proficient skills in one or more categories mentioned above (Börsch-Supan & Weiss, 2016). In such an environment, the learners will not feel constricted. Moreover, every member of the team will be able to help his or her mates in the skills that are not proficient, which will create an ideal working atmosphere for all of them. The second group is recommended to include Jerry, Noah, and Petie. The knowledge and practical skills of these students are also intended to fulfill the biases of other participants. For instance, Petie has reached
Introduction The expansion seen in the field of science and technology was given pace by the introduction of multipurpose computers. “Competition in business leads to innovation and price drops. Corporate America began to take note and it was evident that by the mid-’90s, PC’s had won the battle.” (Macintosh vs. IBM Clone PCs para 7). The choosing features gave the impression to spin in the region of cost and complementary facts. The computers are usually more economical and appear to know how to perform similarly as supplementary complicated computer structures. The two brands competing in the field of manufacturing computers are IBM and Macintosh. The competition between the two has helped in the development of computer technologies. The study on the various competitive aspects of both the brands becomes significant nowadays because “what might be true for IBM compatibles may not apply to the Macintosh – IBM’s were created as business computers, with better capability in office, business, accounting, type of applications, while the apple/macs were developed originally for education – placing greater emphasis on user-friendliness and graphics.” (Laptop vs. Desktop? Para 1). The right ideas on the topic become important for an academic person hopefully for getting updated to the current scientifi
Introduction It is known that government restructuring and modernization cannot be conducted without taking into account the advances in information and communication technologies. Information and communication technology assist in service delivery to users, planning activities, coordination, and control. Information and communication technology allows for quick and efficient processing of data and for taking decisions relating to any project. Information and communication technologies provide for strategic management by objectives of human resources, the rationalization of expenditure and the whole budget, rapid communication and information exchange, transparency and efficiency, and knowledge sharing within government institutions. The information technology manager plays an important role in ensuring plans in this area relating to a variety of applications, in particular connectivity and network establishment; databases, portals, and internet sites; security, reliability, and confidentiality of data and training in the use and management of electronic services are carried out properly. The main aim of e-administration The time of power and service centralization and concentration has gone by and governments are struggling to decentralize. E- Administration assists in decentralization, de-concentration, and responsibility delegation to the grassroots. The point here is to carry on examining the best approaches that would lead to a balanced and equitable division between central and local institutions. Activities to be carried out will hover around questions of utmost importance such as service and institution capacity strengthening at the local level; funding of decentralization; sharing human and financial resources; local fiscal system and local revenue management; promotion of local development; collaboration and partnership between local governments within the same country and with foreign countries. The question that arises is how the efficiency of the Information Technology managers affects government funding and government funds. The main aim of e-administration projects is to rising citizens’ satisfaction with government services, to ensure there is a co-operation between the administrative function of the arms of the government, to ensure there is co-operation between the government and enterprises, research institutions, civil societies, non-governmental organizations, universities, and international communities. Another important function of e-administration is to ensure there is divided knowledge and the necessity of knowledge management. In measuring the success of an information technology manager, one considers several issues. His efficiency will measure using how he carries out the following activities: (1.) Research and development related to IST; he should be able to develop a good system that is well researched on the government issues
Robber barons refer to the American businesspersons of the late 19 th century who became very prosperous through dubious means. With enormous wealth, robber barons became the architects of the American Revolution. Most of the American industries during the gilded age were accredited to these businesspersons. Through their relentless and unscrupulous efforts, robber barons were able to expand the transportation, petroleum, and banking industries accelerating America’s economy. It is alleged that through their firms, these businesspersons reduced the prices of their products and services to lure more customers and push their competitors out of business. After suppressing their business competitors, these dishonest individuals would hike their prices earning huge profits. By colluding with corrupt politicians and authorities, robber barons ensured that they dominated the American business fraternity. Several literatures have accused these individuals for bribing lawmakers, exploiting immigrant employees, overworking their employees, and exploiting the country’s natural resources. Through these inhumane acts, these individuals could cut down on their production costs to increase on their returns. Some literatures have accused the robber barons for abusing monopoly rights. Wassermann asserts that the robber barons abused their monopoly rights by pushing off their competitors out of the American market, having direct control over raw materials, controlling the money supplies, and forceful acquisition of opponent companies. Through these fiscal trickeries, Rockefeller, Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, Jay Gould, and Vanderbilt were able to dominate over the American banking, transport, steel, sugar, and oil industries. By doing so, these individuals profited extraordina
According to a 2001 report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), “Crossing the Quality Chasm”, a safe system preserves information, fosters ease of access of information and acts as a platform for reference in the event that some information is forgotten (Committee on Patient Safety and Quality Improvement, 2013; Smeulers, Lucas and Vermeulen, 2014, p. 2). Implementation of principles that enhance the effective interdisciplinary provision of healthcare is imperative. However, there are some areas that interfere with the quality of the interdisciplinary approach. One area is patient handoffs, which have received little attention. During my practice as a nurse, I have realized that handoffs are a source of preventable medical errors and malpractice claims. In order to facilitate continuity of quality healthcare, I aim to improve communication between me and the next nurse when changing a shift in my institution. A majority of the medical errors that result from handoffs can be prevented using effective communication systems because the true clinical picture is usually unintentionally modified. Nurses experience stress, burnout and fatigue by the end of a shift; hence, there is a possibility of making unintentional verbal errors when giving handoff reports. In order to enhance communication, I have formulated a SMART goal and discussed ways to achieve it in this paper. The SMART goal for review focuses on improving communication between me and the next shift nurse during handoff. I need to determine an effective communication system for use during this process through a review of the literature. Mobile technologies, for example, mobile phones are effective in sending text messages between me and the next nurse during the change of shift. As their name indicates, they are carried wherever a person goes; hence, one can readily access information as it is transmitted. Despite the fact that there is a need to adopt effective communication strategies during a handoff, it is equally important to organize one’s schedule in a manner that allows the preparation of an accurate handoff report. Virtually all adults have a mobile phone because ownership of mobile phones has exponentially increased over time alongside the exchange of text messages and emails, and all this at an affordable cost. The use of mobile phones is reliable because it allows synchronization in real-time and within a feasible context. Time has led to the development of sophisticated mobile phones through which information can be transferred from a computer and to another mobile phone. Taking this level of sophistication into account, conveying accurate information is enhanced. Despite the fact that it takes some time to write a text message, it minimizes information gaps experienced when verbally transferring a patient’s personal information and associated medical information to another health care provider (Committee
Introduction: Watching the Birth of the New Business. Cars have become a part and parcel of the everyday reality, and having a car has been a must for an average employee for quite long. Therefore, the necessity to maintain a decent state of a car is a prior concern for a present-day businessman. Hence, the need to keep the car clean and looking attractively is a necessity, which predetermines the reasonability of creating a car wash – the business that will never run out of its clientele. To characterize the car wash most precisely, it is necessary to mention that, unlike most of the modern car washes, it is going to comprise the machine, conveyor-belt approach and the help[ of the qualified staff; to be more precise, the technique that is going to be applied in the company can be defined as the exterior-conveyor/full service approach. Therefore, the mission of the given service is to provide the customers a high-quality and very fast service with little or no queues, at the same time offering reasonable prices. The latter can be achieved by buying cheaper equipment. Hence, the major demands in the car wash market are going to be met in the given car wash service. Product: Opening New Horizons for the Customers. When thinking of the image of the car wash in question, one should understand that, with so many costs for the qualified staff and the equipment, even though it is not going to be an expensive and world-known brand, there is going to be little money left for the design of the car wash itself, which is why it is reasonable to go with minimalistic design. It could be a good idea to introduce a couple of futuristic details into the interior to show that the car wash makes use of the newest technologies, but the general idea will be a simple design with little details. The services are going to be delivered right in the premises of the car wash company, automatically at first, with the following polishing procedures carried out manually. Thus, the speed of the service is going to be increased, for, while one car is being cleaned manually, the second one can undergo the mechanic cleaning, etc. It is necessary to keep the premises lit well and be spacious for a better service. As for the suppliers, the D&S equipment will be purchased. Place: In Search of Where the Innovation Belongs. Because of the specifics of the business, it will be most logical
Research Question and Variables The main question that the proposed research aims to address is to identify the underlying causes of cyberbullying among adolescents and the main factors that need to be considered when developing prevention strategies. The independent variables are the age, background, and social status of respondents, and the dependent variables include their engagement in cyberbullying and factors that influence their social media behavior. For the purpose of this research, cyberbullying is defined as the aggressive pressure and repeated harmful actions towards an individual inflicted through electronic devices, including posting, sending, or sharing negative or wrong information (Peled, 2019). The focus of the research is placed on bullies rather than their victims. Methods An anonymous online questionnaire will be used to collect information about adolescent cyberbullying behavior. The questionnaire will be designed based on the similar surveys used in the studies by Akrim and Sulasmi (2020), Shams et al. (2017), and Peled (2019). It will include a section on participants’ demographic characteristics, including age, background, and social status, and several sections on their social media behavior and factors of influence. Particular attention will be given to questions related to the reasons behind bullying as perceived by bullies themselves. The questions will concern emotions experienced by adolescents who engage in cyberbullying, their motives, desired outcomes of their behavior, and the selection of victims. The results of the survey will be processed and interpreted using quantitative research techniques, description analysis, and correlation analyses. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire will be determined through a pilot test with a limited number of participants. Due to the sensitive nature of the research, anonymity will be used to ensure that the respondents give honest answers. According to the study by Flowers et al. (2020), which first used an anonymous online survey to access the adolescent population, “anonymous responses might reflect more honest reporting and be higher correlated with measures of actual behavior” (p. 3). The limitations of the method are connected with the inability to verify the demographic information and the possibility of inaccurate self-report data. Population of Interest The population of interest is high-school students between 14 and 18 years who engage in cyberbullying behavior. No specific requirements are made regarding their gender and ethnicity. The questionnaire will be distributed online, and the respondents will be invited to participate voluntarily
