Introduction The war against nuclear weapons developed by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, DPRK remains a delicate and sensitive issue in diplomatic relations between DPRK and other countries around the world. With several nations opposed to the nuclear development program, DPRK has gone through a series of steps and encountered countless challenges in its quest to produce and develop nuclear weapons. This has led to international conferences and treaties aimed at limiting the progress and chances of North Korea becoming a nuclear power threat to the rest of the world in future (Wampler, 2003). With all these efforts, research indicates that the country’s leadership has had a deaf ear on the calls and maintained their development programs to-date. In this regard, this research focuses on the historical progress of nuclear strategy in North Korea and how North Korea’s foreign diplomacy and Nuclear affected each other. Of special significance is the nuclear development in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, encompassing both its on-table and under-table activities. The research furthers synthesizes how DPRK’s pursuit of Nuclear weapons has affected its relationship with countries like the United States, Japan, China, South Korea and other European and Asian states throughout history. Lastly, the paper analyzes the Six-Party talk in terms of its successes and failures with special focus on the current status of the nuclear development program in North Korea. Nuclear weapons These are highly lethal armaments with the highest known potential of destruction in the world. This ability emanates from fusion and fission reactions which take place in nuclear reactors. Although it later gained its use in the mid 20 th century, nuclear weapons breakthrough were made in early 1930s and later applied by several countries during the Cold War. It is believed that the first fission weapons were developed by the union between the United States, Canada and Britain as a way of counteracting the threat that was being posed by Nazi German bomb scheme during Cold War (World Nuclear Association, 2011). After some of the bombs were dropped on Japan in 1945, the Soviet Union began its development of the Hydrogen bomb. The U.S and Soviet Union acquired nuclear weapons, which were used during the Cold War. Since then several countries, totaling to nine have acquired these weapons and their proliferation remains a global security threat. Moreover, of substance, controversy and great attention is the nuclear development in DPRK. North Korea and Nuclear weapons North Korea is an isolated and relatively small country in Asia but it has remained in the limelight for decades with regard to nuclear power exploration and development of weapons.
Corrosion is a gradual process of deterioration of a material, mainly surfaces of metallic objects through a chemical reaction facilitated by the direct exposure to the environment agents. Alternatively, corrosion is electrochemical oxidation where an oxidant reacts with a metallic surface. Moreover, corrosion is also pronounced among other non-metal surfaces like ceramics and polymers. However, this form of corrosion is differently termed degradation. Corrosion can pose dangerous risks and cause expensive costs across-the-board like on automobiles, household appliances, drainage and waterworks (such as pipe systems), bridges (case in point the Silver Bridge accident in December 15, 1967) and public buildings (like the Talese painting in the Brooklyn Navy Yard) (Pamela Talese, n.d; Nace International, n.d; Lonakers, 2006). Ridha et al. (2009, p.163) provides an assessment of the risks of corrosion on the built structures over a period of 5 years since the Tsunami occurred in the Aceh Province in December 2004. The study showed that preventive measures were needed for some of the buildings with concrete reinforced steel to avert possible dangers of collapse due to corrosion agents. Eker and Yuksel (2005, p.2) explain a range of solutions for corrosion induced by agricultural chemicals. Agricultural chemicals dealt with are dairy equipment cleaning acid solutions, pesticides and herbicides, fertilizers, farm wastes, grain and silage preservatives as well as slurries. The main reason behind the cause for corrosions is the fact that metals are derived from their ores. Corrosion-Doctors (2010) argue that during the ore formation, they absorb and store energy that enables the original compounds to release the metallic form. It is this energy that is later used to facilitate corrosion. The classified forms of corrosion are general and localized. The effects of general corrosion are widespread and affect the entire exposed area. The general rusting of steel surfaces, which are exposed to environmental agents, is usually highly visual and predictable. Localized corrosion is less visual and predictable. Localized corrosion occurs mainly in four forms. Galvanic corrosion is a pronounced form of localized corrosion. Pitting corrosion is another popular form of localized corrosion. Other forms include stress and crevice corrosion. Galvanic corrosion happens when different metal types experience electrical and/or physical contact. These metals are further exposed to an electrolyte of different concentrations. Thus, the electrolyte provides the corroding environment through electrolysis. Alloys of aluminum and copper are more prone to this form of corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is a major concern within the marine industry, where the water is salty and has impurities that corrode metal s
Introduction The two films ‘The Story of Qiu Ju’ (1992) and ‘Ermo’ (1994) are films that were produced in order to show the viewers some of the social changes and practices in the Chinese society. The Chinese society during Mao era had a completely different social arrangement and practices compared to the new (present) era thanks to westernization. The effects of westernization are clearly indicated in the films, this is when the roles of the Chinese women have completely changed, women are completely empowered from being the cooks, children mentors, the sole providers and protectors of the family, a role that was held and maintained by the men for a long time (Eberts, 1993). Chinese among other people from different parts of the world have been male chauvinists; they only considered the women role in the society as people who continue the linage of the family by giving birth, taking care and raising children among other activities like digging, cooking, receiving orders from the men and also fulfilling the sexual urge of the men. The position of women in the society was in the kitchen and thus they were not supposed to be seen or even heard performing any duty in the social field or gathering, the women were supposed to be very submissive to their husbands and not to take up any roles that will lower the dignity of their husbands, that is why women were being mentored at an early stage in order to become responsible women who will properly fulfill their duties when they get married. But this has all changed in the two films; this is clearly depicted as the films have clearly shown two different women holding two key roles which are completely against the Chinese traditions. The similarities in character between the two female protagonists After watching the two movies, it was easy for me to come up with a clear conclusion that, the writers and directors of these two films had one similar theme, women empowerment in mind while producing and writing the script of these films. Though it can appear to be a coincident, they have completed and covered one task that proves to be very crucial in the revolutionalizing of the Chinese society that was in the past very strict on women. The two directors used women to play the leading role in both the films and the results of the women participation, has yielded positive results in the transformation of the Chinese society, from that of the male chauvinist (Dominated) society to a more lenient society that acknowledged and appreciated the role and participations of the women in the development of the society (Xiaowen, 1994). The two women characters namely Qiu Ju in the film ‘The Story of Qiu Ju’ and Ermo in the film ‘Ermo’, are both seen and considered to be courageous women. This is properly highlighted in the two films. In The film The
In the long run, it behooves a country’s administration to be responsible for the progressive performance of its healthcare system. Thus, the state of health care is a reflection of the stewardship provided by an administration towards health care development. Health care is as old as regimes of human civilization. The health care is a reliable indicator on social inconsistencies. Gutiérrez, Mizota and Rakue (937) demonstrate that there exist inter-regional inequalities in China’s healthcare system, while, in the US, these occur across different races and social groups. Furthermore, it is emerging that the extent of the GDP growth and the size of the budget and subsequent allocations have become debatable indicators of the public health. It is becoming evident that the future of better public health will be demonstrated through the influence of robust policies that cross-cut health and other social security sectors. The US is in the spotlight for the prolonged absence of reforms towards a public medical security system that universally cushions every citizen. In the absence of a comprehensive healthcare scheme, there are palpable health care differences across races, origins and income brackets. And now that the Obama Healthcare Bill has recently been passed, its consequences are of pertinent concern with regard to public financing, access to medical care and health insurance packages, thereof. The demand for healthcare insurance and the cost of health care services are projected to rise. Contrastingly, China operates on public health system for all. There are scheduled major adjustments focusing on enhancing training and practitioner fraternity. China remains the only country that advances the use of conventional and traditional medicines. Its medical insurance system is packaged in three programs targeting workers, public employees and village populace. China’s economic policy reforms have tended to advance the health care interest of the village populace through fiscal decentralization and financial responsibility systems. The National Health Services is vested with managing the healthcare scheme in the UK. The Issues on healthcare in the UK replicate those of the US, though approaches differ. Research lacuna exists on whether most national healthcare regimes consider solutions such as an equal-chance approach to use of processed and natural medicines. Moreover, the political class has dismally demonstrated their will to bridge inequalities and injustices within the social and health systems. Thus, health services are disproportionately distributed. Squires (1) argues that fiscal spending on health care is high in the US; emerging discrepancies and disproportionate outcomes result from exorbitant prices, obese population and readily disposable technology. Wagstaff, Doorslaer and Paci (91) recommend that the government administration to rethink their goals based on the resource redistribution and equity concepts. Squires (1) exonerates higher income, aging population and in
Executive Summary Frontline employees are constantly in touch with clients. The frontline employees are very significant in the creation of a great customer experience. There is a need for a research to be carried out to find out how the quality of supervision the frontline employees are subjected to affects the quality of services they offer. Literature review has shown that the supervision is very necessary if the front line employees are to offer quality services. It has been shown that supervising helps to equip the frontline employees by identifying their areas of weakness which require being built on. Quality supervision encompasses many aspects that are quite beneficial to the frontline employees and which a positive impact on the quality of the services they will provide to the clients. Rationale for the study Globalization has enhanced competition in various sectors of economy around the world. The hospitality industry is one of such sectors which have been heavily affected by the competition brought about by globalization. Due to the increased competition it has become imperative for business organizations, both in the hospitality industry and elsewhere, to offer high quality goods and services. It has come to the realization of the management in various sectors of the economy particularly those in the service industry that it takes more than premium quality of services and goods to satisfy the clients. In the hospitality industry the art of offering goods in a special manner is not new; actually this is the concept behind internal marketing popularized by services industries such as banks and hotels. Internal marketing involves proper handling of the employees by the management through various ways with an aim of expecting the employees to reciprocate back in turn by treating the clients well. This means that as much as quality goods and services can be offered by an organization, there is a need for services to be provided in a quality way. This becomes very practical when the case is a hospitality industry. Offering of services in a great way often creates what is commonly referred to as great customer experience. Creating a great customer experience is one of the factors that hotel management anywhere strives to create. Most of the service industries create great customer experiences by utilizing the service of the frontline staff well. It must be appreciated that by default the clients interact most often with the frontline employees. It is therefore evident that the image that will be left in the mind of the customers will that presented by the frontline staff employees. It will therefore make a lot of sense for the management to heavily invest in the frontline staff. Investing in t
Scenario A 17-year-old boy is in clear need of physical examination that can conclude on his aptitude to participate in sports activities, namely, football. Football is a rather active game that involves coordination, sharp eyesight, and hearing. These functions are affected by brain injuries, and a temporary pause in sports activity might be required until full recovery (Kirkendall, Jordan, & Garrett, 2001). Head traumas typically incur concussions, and, depending on the severity of one, an individual should abstain from active sports for different periods of time. According to Kirkendall et al. (2001), the concussion has three degrees of severity such as mild, moderate, and severe. Mild involves no loss of consciousness; moderate is defined through loss of consciousness with retrograde amnesia. Severe can be diagnosed if a patient has been unconscious for longer than five minutes. All of them require temporary withdrawal from football. Therefore, an examination is required to state the presence of concussion or the absence of thereof. Health data include a self-reported headache, dizziness, nausea, or vomiting directly after the event of the trauma. Other concussion symptoms may include the presence of vacant stare, disorientation, incoherent speech, loss of coordination, memory deficits, and loss of focus. Sports Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT) could be used by medical professionals to diagnose the presence and severity of concussion in patients (“Sports Concussion Assessment,” 2013). It is important to note that it is a supplementary tool and may require further examination. Provided even mild concussion signs are observed, an individual in question should advise against participating in sports activities for 7-10 days with a follow-up in the clinic (Kirkendall et al., 2001). A return to play needs to be preceded by a period of non-contact physical exercise as required in football training. A 24-hour period with no symptoms’ return may indicate a transition to full-scale sports activity (Kirkendall et al., 2001). Evidence-Based Response In accordance with the procedure for head injury inspection, a nurse should check for symptoms, such as a headache, nausea, vomiting, physical signs, brain function, and behavior to diagnose the presence or absence of a concussion (Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon, & Stewart, 2015). The individual needs to be questioned as per the mechanisms of his injury to be able to determine the scale of the damage. Neck examination should also be performed to rule out any possible spinal comorbidity (Nilsson, Hägglund, Ekstrand, & Waldén, 2013). Standardized Assessment of Concussion needs to be implemented
What does it mean to be a good person? The essay below aims to answer this question. It focuses on the qualities of a good person. Introduction The term “good” has relative meanings depending on the person who is defining it. Several qualities can be used to define what constitutes a good person. However, there are certain basic qualities that are used to define a good person. They include honesty, trust, generosity, compassion, empathy, humility, and forgiviness (Gelven 24). These qualities are important because they promote peaceful coexistence among people because they prevent misunderstandings and conflicts. A good person is fair and just to all, and does not judge people. He or she is nice to everyone regardless of their religion, race, social and economic class, health status, or physical state (Gelven 25). What Does It Mean to Be a Good Person? A good person treats other people with respect, care, and compassion. Respect shows that an individual values and views the other person as a worthy human being who deserves respect. Compassion is a quality that enables people to identify with other people’s suffering (Gelven 27). It motivates people to offer help in order to alleviate the suffering of others. A good person has compassion for others and finds ways to help people who are suffering. Showing compassion to the suffering makes them happy. It promotes empathy, understanding, and support. In addition, good people are forgiving. They do not hold grudges, and let go of anger that might lead them to hurt others. They think positively and focus their thoughts on things that improve their relationships (Needleman 33). They avoid thinking about past mistakes or wrongs done by others. Instead, they think of how they can forgive and move on. A good person is honest and trustworthy. This implies that they avoid all situations that might hurt the other person such as telling lies, revealing secrets, and gossiping (Needleman 34). As such, their character or personality cannot be doubted because they do not harbor hidden intentions. They act in open ways that reveal their true characters and personalities. On the other hand, good people are kind and respectful. They offer help voluntarily and work hard to improve the well-bei
Introduction Yorktown System Group succeeds with the military mentality as its base production. The company having been founded with service-disabled veterans, it provides solutions to federal and civic organization enabling them to tackle their challenges (Zoroya, 2013). The company was established in 2008 and has a culture of employing veterans and the relatives of servicemen on missions all over the world. At its founding, 95 percent of the staff were veterans (Lee & Rieh, 2021). This paper focuses on leveraging the military mindset into business, and it impacts the company culture. Assuming that Yorktown System Group maintained its culture of hiring a high number of veterans, the analysis compares different employee behavior with its competitors. Company Hiring Culture In the last years, that is, between June 2019 and June 2021, Yorktown Systems Group has hired over 127 employees (Linkedin, 2021). As shown in Table 1, a t-test was performed for this period to establish if there is a significant difference between the hiring of veterans and non-veteran employees. Table 1: t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances                               Veterans     Non-Veterans Mean                          4.788        0.252        Variance                      14.62651667  0.040516667  Observations                  25           25           Pooled Variance               7.333516667               Hypothesized Mean Difference  0                         df                            48                        t Stat                        5.92204783                P(T<=t) one-tail              1.64866E-07               t Critical one-tail           1.677224196               P(T<=t) two-tail              3.29733E-07               t Critical two-tail           2.010634758                Based on the company culture, a ratio of 95:5 was created to categorize the veterans and non-veterans among the hired employees. From the t-test: two sample assuming equal variances, the p-value was less than 0.05; hence the null hypothesis was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis that states there is a significant difference between hiring rate for the veterans and non-veteran employees within Yorktown Systems Group. This indicates that the number of veteran employees within the company is significantly higher compared to non-veteran employees. Company Employee Growth In reference to figure 1 in the appendices, Yorktown System Group’s operation time is compared to its competitors. The age is calculated from the time each of the companies was founded. The time factor is important in understanding the growth of the compa
This article sets out to investigate why women in poor neighborhoods seem to be comfortable having children while they are still too young and out of wedlock. The underlying thesis of the article is that economic challenges, shifts in marital roles, and the setting of a high financial bar for marriage have led to a situation whereby most poor women continue to have children far sooner than the national average of childbearing age, while still deferring marriage. The authors of the article interview single mothers to demonstrate a multiplicity of key points, including  1. lack of economic prospects have led the poor to demonstrate little motivation or focus in timing their births as accurately as their middle-class counterparts do,  2. poor young girls in impoverished urban neighborhoods value children highly, anticipate them h
