Introduction The social services system of Saudi Arabia aims at providing a decent living standard to all the citizens of the Kingdom. The safety and welfare of the people is the prime objective of the Kingdom that abides by the principles of Islam. A state agency called General Organization for Social Insurance executes these social welfare programs in the Kingdom (Social Services Network, 2013). General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) was established in Saudi Arabia by the Royal Decree to implement the provisions of the Social Insurance Law and is responsible for administering the schemes under the Social Insurance Regulations. This financially independent organization runs its administration independently and seeks the fulfilment of the required insurance coverage. The GOSI is dedicated “to implement the provisions of the Social Insurance Law and follow-up the process of achieving the compulsory insurance coverage, collecting contributions from employers and paying benefits for the eligible contributors of their family members” (Brief on the General Organization for Social Insurance, n. d. Para 2). The work of the GOSI is administered and controlled by a Board of Directors. The position of the Chairman of this Board is held by the Minister of Labor. The GOSI Governor holds the position of the Vice-Chairman in the Board. One member from the Ministry of Health, one from Ministry of Finance and one from the Ministry of Labor are part of the Board of Directors. Moreover, three members represent the contributors and the other three members are the representatives of the employers. All these eleven members constitute the Board of Directors for GOSI. The GOSI operates through a Head Office and 21 field offices located in different parts of the Kingdom (Brief on the General Organization for Social Insurance, 2012, Para 2). GOSI deals with various governments agencies and contributors. It also covers establishments and hospitals under its scheme. It has around one hundred and six establishments. The number of its customers will soon be almost three million. GOSI keeps a record of the MONTHLY MOVEMENT of the establishments that includes monthly information about the modifications in wages, terminations, and joining of all workers. The conditions that are required to be eligible for making GOSI contributions and avail the benefits of social insurance are that the employee must be working in an organization in Saudi Arabia. The employer of the individual must be providing a genuine funding and the employee must be holding eqama under the patronage of a Saudi-based company. GOSI covers two types of contributions. Annuity Branch that covers contributions related to retirement and Occupational Hazard

Introduction Scholars and educational policy makers believe that reading is an important activity in improving the culture of scholarship among American students (Song and Young 2008, 46 – 49). As such, students in America as well as the entire citizenry ought to be encouraged to embrace the culture of reading. This implies that reading ought to gain prominence within the education policy. Various agenda setting models have been evaluated in determining their applicability to the agenda setting process within the American education system. This is aimed at creating awareness to stakeholders. These models include the Expanded Model of Agenda Setting, which adopts a comparative approach in making major policy assumptions. However, this model is too theoretical and thus not popular with education policy makers in America. Another model, The Agenda-Setting Model of Media Effects, asserts that the mass media is the most powerful tool in indentifying issues of public concern. Critics of this model however, argue that the mass media cannot be relied upon to report objectively on matters of public concern. The theory has also been criticized for being to simplistic, and thus not applicable in cases that involve complex issues. The Multiple Stream Model, which involves three major streams, seems to be the most popular among the three models. This model involves three distinct streams namely, process, policy and problems, which involving gathering and synthesizing feedback reports from all stakeholders, including politicians and parents. Therefore, the Multiple Streams Model addresses most of the shortcomings emanating from other agenda setting models and thus relevant to the agenda setting process within the America education system. Traditional theories The debate on the importance of reading to improve literacy has existed for a very long period of time. For much of this period, the debate has centered on pedagogy while largely ignoring practical elements such as feedback reports from the political elite, parents, the mass media as well as the affected community. These assumptions have pervasively dominated the agenda setting process for much of this period (Young, Shepley and Song 2010, 1). For instance, the Expanded Model of Agenda Setting primarily focuses on the framework within which competing interests ought to be contrasted and analyzed. From such comparisons
Introduction Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) refers to the circuitry in the Central Processing Unit that is responsible for performing arithmetical computations and logical operations. Arithmetic computations performed by ALU can be in the form of multiplication, addition and subtraction and comparison functions. Logic operations performed by the AKU include AND, OR, XOR and NOR (Hwang 2006). A datapath refers to a group of functional elements in a Central Processing Unit that has the responsibility of performing operations related to data processing. The principal function of a datapath is to link up the functional units by means of data routes. Data paths can be integrated together to increase the size of the data paths by use of multiplexers (Stallings 2006). Arithmetic Logic Unit Decoder (ALUdec) refers to the component of the ALU that takes the data bits found in the instruction register and performs the necessary decoding by specifying the operands and functional operations to be performed according to the instructions. Programmable Logic Array (PLA) is a digital device that is programmable and used in the implementation of combinational logic circuits. The PLA comprises of a series of AND gate planes that are programmable, which can be connected to other OR gates that programmable in order to generate the desired output (Godse 2010). One of the principal functions of the PLA is to facilitate datapath control, in the sense that it helps in the definition of various states of the instruction, by use of conditional branching; the desired datapath can be predetermined (Stallings 2006). Controller refers to the circuitry in the CPU that has the principal function of controlling the way information moves within the processor. In addition, the controller has the necessary architectural circuitry such that it is capable of controlling other functional units of the Central Processing Unit. It is therefore considered to the brain of the CPU, which in turn controls the whole computer (Stallings 2006). Processes of datapath design and controller design Datapath design and controller design serves the fundamental purpose of controlling the Arithmetic and Logic Unit. The datapath unit usually comprises of Arithmetic Units, Control Units, Control-dataflow sequential Machine, Algorithm State Machines (ASM) charts that has the state box, decision box and the conditional output box. The following are the design issues that must be put into account when controlling the Arithmetic Logic Unit (Hwang 2006):  1. All the combinational logic circuits must be in placed in a continuous manner or a block arrangement;  2. All the input signals must appear on the sensitivity list of the continuous arrangement;  3. Every datapath in the block arrangement mu
Cash Flow Dashboard The cash flow dashboard provides an organization’s management team with a clear way to observe the money movement in a business. The system allows the firm to continuously spot areas where they overspend and places users need to adjust to attain the maximum operation. The dashboard should show the business’s per day income and accounts payable. This will make it easier for the team in charge or system’s users to observe the firm’s cash transactions daily. The dashboard indicates the amount of stock available in the company, which is useful, especially to big organizations that handle large productions as management can quickly detect the capacity of goods they have produced to either reduce or increase the manufacturing rate. Money at hand is a column that projects the company’s cash balance. The management group will be able to see the fall below the minimum required and thus signal for effective measures. The dashboard must have the details of the gains the organization makes in every operation it undertakes. The profit column allows the examiners to evaluate the firm’s performance ratio; hence, decisions such as remaining operating or quitting the market can be determined as per the value of the revenue. There are several ways that the creators can improve the cash flow dashboard. For a better informing system, developers should provide current and live updates on cash transactions from the data collected for real-time and on-demand analysis (Sarikaya et al. 685). Any change made should be reflected immediately for an accurate viewing; this will produce reliable information about the company’s financial status (Sarikaya et al. 685). The dashboard can also include stickers and icons to make it possible for the users to leave marks on the respective sheets for later reference and proper analysis, especially on trends that involve graphs. Sales Dashboard This tool provides a platform where the users can view, control, or improve the number of products they take to consumers. Managers can identify the market trends and give a future prediction to boost the returns from sales activities. The dashboard has a forecast report, which shows the relationship between the previous sales and the future performance. The manager will see and estimate the time spent to achieve the outcome by every sales agent. It includes a speedometer that easily shows the rate at which general sales activities are performed. The data offers real-time analysis of the definite sales against the firm’s projection. The dashboard has the biggest sales pipeline that converts unprocessed numbers into appealing images that allow salespersons to identify their progress and make possible changes as the need arises. There is an actionable leaderboard that promotes accountability and effectiveness in sales while enhancing transparency in the activities done by the
Research Problem There is an increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular disorders around the world and especially in developing and transition economies. The increased prevalence and incidence of such disorders is caused by high- risk lifestyles among other factors (Sharathkumar et al., 2011). Aghasadeghi et al. (2011) point out that Coronary Artery Disease (also referred to as CAD) accounts for about 50 percent of the deaths linked to cardiovascular disorders in the country each year. According to Aghasadeghi et al. (2011), several risk factors are associated with the severity and prevalence of CAD in the society. Some of these factors include dyslipidaemia, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus among others (Khan & Shah, 2012). In order to determine the relationship between these risk factors, Aghasadeghi et al. (2011) endeavoured to establish the correlation between fasting blood sugar and resting blood pressure among teachers living in Shiraz. Data Source and Collection The process of collecting, compiling, and interpreting data was carried out between February 2009 and December 2009. According to Aghasadeghi et al. (2011), data was collected from 2848 teachers aged between 21 and 80 years. At the time of data collection, all informants were working in various education institutions in Shiraz, Iran. It is noted that 59.1% of the informants were female while 40.9% were male. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires. The nursing staff interviewed the participants to obtain the information required. The data collected contained demographic information such as the gender, age, hypertension and diabetes mellitus history, and the current usage of prescribed medication among the participants (Aghasadeghi et al., 2011). The researchers also collected anthropometric data. This included height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) of the participants. The trained nursing staff obtained the blood pressure of the patients and collected blood sample for FBS analysis (Aghasadeghi et al., 2011). Independent and Dependent Variables There were three independent variables in the study. These were BMI, age, and sex. The dependent variables that were measured against the three independent variables were blood pressure and fasting blood sugar. Informants with a hypertension reading of ≤90mmHg were regarded as ‘hypertensive’. On the other hand, those whose blood pressure readings ranged between 80 and 89mmHg were regarded as ‘pre-hypertensive’ (Aghasadeghi et al., 2011). Those participants whose blood pressure was lower than 80mmHg were regarded as normal. Participants with FBS of more than 126mg/dl were considered to have diabetes mellitus. Those participants with FBS readings ranging between 100 and 125mg/dl were considered to be ‘pre-diabetic’. Finally, those with FBS lower than 100mg/dl were regarded to be ‘normal’ (Aghasadeghi et al, 2011). Sample Size Estimation As mentioned earlier in this paper, the sample size for this research was 2848 teachers. I
Introduction I am an Indonesian and ever since I was young my family has strictly embraced and followed the indigenous culture and stressed on the importance of following it. We believe that the way we act, dress and speak in public can both show and help us build and develop our personality. However, ever since I moved to the United States of America I have noticed a lot of difference in my culture and what I found here. The differences come in in terms of cultures between these two countries. Respect among Indonesians is a key issue in everything one does, for instance how one dresses, especially women and girls so as not to cause negative actions from the opposite sex, and also, how one addresses his or her seniors – we address them by using Sir, Mr., Mrs., and so forth before their names, which is not the case here in America. Also the family unit is very important in shaping personalities. Culture influences personality One major aspect of personal identity that greatly influences my culture is respect. Children are strictly taught to uphold manners and conduct themselves well both in private and public. Respect in the Indonesian culture is a veryfundamental point of shaping a person to the point one becomes an adult from childhood. Children are from an early age taught the importance of respect within a family setting. This helps them to carry on with it even when they move out of their parent’s home and become independent and in some cases move to other countries or regions and encounter other people of different cultures. Origins of respect in the Indonesian culture My culture is greatly influenced by an age’s long interrelation between, our existing first, from the beginning indigenous customs and various external influences which tend to have a profound or crucial influence over the way our personalities shape up. Latterell (56) notes, “The position of Indonesia along a prehistoric trading route belonging to the distant past, before the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, connecting the Middle East to the Far East is a key factor in external influences.” As a result there was interaction cutting across a multitude of human activities and customs such as religion (Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism and Confucianism); trade; family life and much more. Despite this mix of cultures, albeit complex in nature and different from the original culture it still has a richculture that has strong moral ground which help shape ones personality.The vibrancy and versatility of my culture can be compared to Indonesia’s natural beauty. The basis of Indonesian culture and its ability to comply with a fixed standard, regulation, or requirement of societal norms is the importance put on honor and respect for the individual. This is also a very key element in Buddhism and Hinduism, which greatly influenced the Indonesian culture. The teachings of Buddhism greatly stress on respect for all living things and one’s own parents. These teachings brought forward by the Buddha (Siddhārtha Gautama) leads one to try and find the actual state of the world by making use o
The Enemy Microbes Infectious mononucleosis is a contagious disease that is caused by a virus known as Epstein-Barr. The common name for this disease is glandular fever. Glandular fever’s global importance and relevance can be understood by outlining the biological, social, economic, and ecological issues relating to this disease. Biologically, this disease may cause serious pain and damage to the parts of the body. Spleen and eyes are some of the most affected parts of the body. Socially, this disease may limit one’s capacity to interact and socialise with others because it is contagious (Gitnick 2012). Economically, it drains the financial resources of the affected families because they have to get proper medication for their loved one. Ecologically, this disease may cause strains to the programs meant to promote environmental conservation, especially when the government is forced to step in and help in fighting the spread of the disease. The War: Infection and Transmission of the Disease The pathogen that causes Glandular fever is Epstein-Barr. According to Turgeon (2009), the most common way through which this pathogen is spread from one person to another is kissing. It passes from the host to the recipient through saliva. In rare cases, sneezing, coughing, and sharing of utensils such as spoon may also spread the disease (Yen 2010). In the past, the d
Introduction Arranging and replicating experiments is regarded as a precious managing experience, as the performer learns to utilize the resources available, as well as rule the entire replication process. Therefore, the aim o this paper is to describe the process of an experiment dedicated to studying paper towels, and their absorbency characteristics. The results of the experiment will be recorded in accordance with the aims and principles of scientific research, and requirements of the scientific inquiry. Project Plan The project is aimed at confirming the statement that more expensive paper towels absorb larger amounts of water. The independent variable is the weight of water that will be absorbed by the different towels, and the dependent variable is associated with the number of samples and the price of the towels. The experiment will be aimed at measuring the volumes of the water absorbed by each towel. This is needed for defining the reasonability of purchasing more brandy and expensive paper towels. Literature Review As it is stated in most researches dedicated to studying the origins of the paper tissues, as well as technologies, the more porous structures are featured with better absorbency. These structures are achieved by more complicated technologies (Kalil 2008; Sasser, 2007). However, some kitchen towels may be also impregnated with special capillary active substances that will decrease the absorbency. (McMurry, 2003). Experimental Design First, at least four brands of paper towels will be taken (five equal samples each for decreasing the error rate). Each sample will be weighted, as the samples may be of different densities and mass. Then, each sample will be placed into the water for 25 seconds, and then weighted. This will help to remove the squeeze force factor, as samples may be squeezed with various forces that will cause the distortion of the results. The second stage of the experiment may be arranged. The only difference is that the samples will be placed on the scales in 30 seconds after taking them off the water. This will make some water flow down, and new characteristics will be discovered. In comparison with the generally accepted absorbency measuring method, when water is squeezed out of the samples, this method will not consider the squeezing power; hence, it is more accurate. The method was taken from the biology experiments experience when the samples are weighted after the reaction. Moreover, the porous structure of the towels will not let the experimenter squeeze all the water, which will cause sufficient distortion of the experiment results. Sequence of Events The quantitative data will be collected with a ruler and scales. The ruler will be needed for cutting equal pieces of the towels, and scales will be needed for weighting dry samples, and then for weighting samples after immersion into the water.   * Tools   * Four brands of paper towels (5 samples for each brand, and 5 sampl
