Economic transformation has led to tremendous change in the role, scale and meaning of major urban airports worldwide. The major gateway airports are attracting spatial concentrations of commercial activities, leading to transport induced growth (aerotropolis).

Abstract

Present day climatic change is the direct result of human influences, which have so far crossed the bounds of variations of natural. The true source of global climatic change is man-induced alteration in atmosphere’s composition. These issues result mainly from emissions associated with uses of energy resources, more or less due to local and regional scales. Urbanization and changes in land use are also an important aspect. Though progress has been made in techniques of monitoring and understanding climatic change, there are still quite a many scientific, technical and institutional obstacles for precise planning to adapt to and mitigate ...

Introduction

The media may simply refer to tools of modern communication. In the past the media was less developed and communication was so limited. With the various technological advances, the media developed and made it possible for people to share social, economic and political information from different parts of the world. By so doing, it reduced the world into a global village. Brian Winston gives an explanation of how the media was born and how it developed over time to be what it is today. However, his explanation has attracted so many critics who have found that whatever he advocates for ...

The article “Identifying Customer Requirements for location-based Services” by Matthias Möller, Sascha Vukovic, Jonathan Landgrebe aims to explore strategies that can be effectively used in the early development phase of location-based mobile technologies. They define location-based services as those providing location-specific information additionally tailoring it to user characteristics and personal details. Some examples of such services could be car navigation or tourist tour planning (Schiller & Voisard, 2004). This technology can significantly reduce user effort in finding information that is specific to his/her current location and time. Successful implementation of these strategies, according to the authors, could ...

The article “Explaining Development and Change in Organizations,” written by Ven and Poole (1995), explains changes within organizations through introducing four basic organization development theories. The authors use those theories to explain why changes in organizations occur, and they identify the circumstances in which those theories are applicable to describe an organization’s change and development. All theories are different and focus on observing different determinants of business development and change. For example, the life-cycle theory focuses on logical and sequenced factors, such as institutional rules or programs, to explain business development while the teleological theory suggests ...

Scientists have found metallopolymers. Metallopolymers are used to make strains vulnerable to antibiotics. Previously, bacteria were resistant to these antibiotics. Tang and his colleagues noted that a significant fraction of infection is caused by bacteria such as MRSA. MRSA is spread through contaminated hands. The presence of MRSA in the body causes pneumonia and deters treatment by traditional antibiotic such as penicillin when they produce enzymes. Although much effort has been made to inactivate this enzyme, a successful resolution has not been reached. In the process of coming up with a better alternative, Tang’s team tested a recently discovered class against a number ...

Conservatism based on Russell Kirk and Phyllis Schlafly’s Works

Conservatism can be defined as a social and or political philosophy that favors the retention of traditional social orders and institutions. This means that in a typical argument between liberals and traditionalists, conservatives would vote for the retention of established dogmas, principles, and institutions, emphasizing the importance of continuity and stability. Following the Second World War, countries, not just the United States, have made great progress in making reforms, either to their existing social, economic, and or political orders. While this may be something that would immediately alarm the conservatives, both Russell Kirk and Phyllis Schlafly presented good points of explanations ...

Article: Sommerville, I. (2011). System documentation

It is a true fact that no solitary factor can fully explain the U.S health disadvantage. To me, it has numerous causes and comprises some mixture of insufficient health care, unfavorable economic, detrimental behaviors and social conditions. Without proceedings to invalidate existing trends, the health of the United States will doubtless continue to plummet behind that of citizens in the other developed countries.

This is an example of the posts used by Obamacare to familiarize the citizens on the existence of these cares.

Article Summary

The article sheds light on how large corporations such as Enron and WorldCom have been involved in malpractices related to the way these corporations were run. Both Enron and WorldCom were guilty of ignoring the demands of the stakeholders. Therefore, there is a strong need for major changes in the way such corporations are run, and for environmental and social factors to be kept in mind. One way of pleasing all parties is through a process called Socially Responsible Investing or SRI. SRI does not mean that businesses ignore the financial side of things and safeguard social and environmental factors at the ...

According to Randall G. Holcombe (1997), urban sprawl has been considered a negative aspect in the development of urban centres and land use. It takes three main approaches. The first is the leapfrog development that is when developers chooses to construct residential houses some distances from the main urban centre bypassing vacant land parcels closer to the city. The leapfrog helps in making economic development in the leapfrogged land by making it more accessible to people. The second is strip development that takes place when commercial development is linear along the major highways. This tends to lead to traffic congestion ...

One of the key processes of the world economy on the brink of the XX-XXI centuries is progressing globalization, i.e. a qualitatively new stage in the development of the internationalization of economic life.
These days, globalization is being discussed very often; it is a buzzword, which quickly turned into some kind of a slogan, a key, which can open the door to any existing and future mysteries. For someone “globalization” is all that he needs for happiness, for others—the cause of all the misfortunes. However, for all of us, globalization is an inevitable fatality of our world, irreversible process, the process, ...

However, things have taken another turn in the recent past whereby, the emerging economies have evolved into equal competitors with the developed nations. As result, economies from both developed and less developed nations are transacting ...

Children are new beings in this world and do not know anything about it. This leaves them with no option other than relying on the society in order to learn about the world. They look at what parents do and hence they start behaving like them. The learning process of a child is a psychological process that takes place in stages. The history of childhood explains that children come into this world as models that are ready to be shaped into anything. The process of being a leader begins from childhood, the role models and the social set up facilitates these characteristics ( ...

Companies in the world are tirelessly working day and night to see that people can get better and improved batteries that are convenient to use and carry around as they carry out their daily tasks.

Interaction between species and their environment plays a great role in their normal behaviors and existence. Altering the normal habitat of a species has massive effects on its distribution as well as the normal ecological functioning. Human activities have over the years caused significant change in regard to the normal habitats of both animals and plant species. Human activities such as continued agricultural activities and the rapidly growing urban centers have led to encroachment of forests. The uncontrolled encroachment has led to development of isolated forest patches. These isolated patches are a clear indication of fragmentation caused by modification of habitats by ...

According to Kotter, major change initiatives that intended to improve the culture, boost quality or meant to generate lukewarm results may fail miserably. This lies with the fact that Kotter maintains the notion that most of the people in management positions tend to forget that transformation is more or less a process and not an event. This implies that for transformation to occur, several stages of transformation must be arrived at. Most people who are in those management positions accelerate the transformation process and hence ending up failing. Therefore, transformation to take place, the people in management positions should follow ...

The Capitalist Culture

Culture is the most active element that charges the human civilization to further branched out and cut across all the aspect of life such as technology. In the capitalist world, there is a great desire towards the novel and original. This continuous search for novelty and change surpasses the extent of proportions of actual change that has occurred in the society. Further, this cultural desire is already being legitimized, such that the society accepts the role to see the culture as a norm and a moral tradition where the emerging new culture could be sized up and be critically evaluated. It is ...

David Meyer defines social movement (SM) as the “organized challenges to authorities that use a broad range of tactics, both inside and outside of conventional politics, in an effort to promote social and political change” (30). While many of social movements fail to attain its immediate goal, Meyer believes that they can “lastingly change political debates, governmental institutions and the wider culture” (31). In particular, social movements can “influence public policy, at least by bringing attention to their issues” (32) and it can also “alter not only the substance of policy, but also how policy is made” (33) through the ...

Human beings, that were once referred to ‘’Tool using animals’’ have a long history that dates back to 2 Million years ago. However, the major source of economic development was initiated after the process of agriculture came into existence. Post the arrival of Agricultural era, Paleolithic Human largely survived on hunting animals using the tools that were directly derived from nature or were marginally modified using wooden hafts or handles by these groups. It is because of their high reliance solely on hunting, seventeenth-century philosopher Thomas Robbes, described the Paleolithic life as ‘’Nasty, Brutish and Short’’

Reflection on the Reading Forest development the Indian way by Richard Reed

When human beings feel the urge to expand their resources to satisfy their needs and demands, they go an extra mile and destroy natural habitats.

It is in this context that one can place a story told by Richard Reed. In Forest Development the Indian Way. Guarani stood as a tribe that knew and understood their ecosystems so well that they engaged in activities that sustained it, until the rest of ...

According to the Sachs’ three-tier model, the world of innovators is divided into high innovators (so-called “core” economies), technological diffusers and the excluded poor. High innovators, such as U.S.A and Sweden, for instance, are known as creators and sellers of original knowledge. Within 5 to 20 years this knowledge is adopted by technological diffusers as local firms purchase sophisticated machines to lower their production costs, FDI in high-tech industries is established and consumers buy innovative goods for personal use. Costa Rica, Mexico and Taiwan can be named among these. The excluded poor are naturally the most disadvantaged countries with ...
