Part IV is perhaps the most important part of René Descartes’ Discourse on the Method. This part of the Discourse contains a description of the results of Descartes’ meditations following the method that had been previously established by him. In contrast, earlier when Descartes was doubtful, he had taken upon himself to act conclusively and definitively. Now he acts oppositely, and considers everything that may in anyway be doubtful as false. He does this to be certain that the things he holds on to are impossible to doubt. He completely gives up all sensory knowledge because the senses are prone ...

Summary of Parts 1, 11 & 111

Section 1 outlined the PICO problem. It stated that human errors and poor communication among members of the preoperative, the operative team and the surgeon were the main reasons for these irregularities. Surgical time-out, accurate site marking and effective channels of communication among medical attendants are among the major guidelines to correct or lower incidences of wrong site surgery. While these guidelines are apparently effective theoretical; it is important to understand that the wrong site surgery cases are mainly caused by small errors during surgery and preoperative procedures. Thus, it is critical that an organization focuses on identifying the ...

Among the pieces of information that police hope to recover from the bullet are the possible type of gun used in the crime, whether the gun was used in a previous crime, and other information that ...

Introduction

The justice system is a very complex institution, which calls for a proper manner of getting information. In the system where judgments are made depending on the types of evidence given, it is essential that the counsels of both sides take proper measures and steps to ensure that they get the relevant information from the witnesses that will sway the verdicts to their way. Strong evidence through such interrogations is likely to see a party getting an upper hand in the verdict, while shambolic evidence will most likely see a case ruled against one’s expectations. Interrogations, to a large extent, should aim at ...

Introduction

Intellectuals spent a considerable period of time during the 20th century discussing skeptical arguments which claim that it is impossible to have knowledge of the existing world. These arguments stem from theories of Descartes and have been the basis of heated discourses on the subject of the external world. The skeptics to the notion of the external world have claimed that their premises on the subject are intuitively obvious. However, they have not offered empirical evidence to underpin their intuition. Some authors contend that the intuitions underpinning their skeptical arguments are universal (widely shared) for those who think critically about ...

According to Houck, Crsipino, and McAdam, (2012), preserving the crime scene is aimed at reducing chances of tampering the digital evidence. The preservation of the crime scene forms part of the digital investigation process (Wiles and Reyes, 2011). All parties concerned with the crime will be required to be asked questions and the location of the crime scene will need to be identified prior to the preservation.

Analyze why these goals can create significant challenges for an investigator. Determine what potential downfalls may arise in an investigation when limiting evidence collection operations purely based on cost.
Achieving the two goals of data collection may be hard to achieve. This is because of the notion that the better your data collection tools implemented, which can be equated to having equipments and tools that are more expensive, the better the quality of your collected data. From this ...

The first ten amendments to the United States Constitution were added and are now called the Bill ...

The universe contains 100 billion galaxies. Each of these galaxies has billions of stars, great gas and dust clouds with others having scads of moons and planets. The stars release an abundance of energy either from radio waves, X-rays or from other forms of energy that run at a speed of light across the universe. However, all that can be seen is like the tip of the cosmic iceberg and accounts for a small portion of the total energy and mass in the universe. About one-quarter portion of the universe is made up of dark matter that does not release any ...

It is a remarkable fact of Roman civilization that it did not introduce a system of coinage until the late third century B.C., coinciding approximately with the Republic’s final defeat of the Carthaginians. Romans had used crude bronze fragments and “ramo secco” bars during the fourth, and up to the late third century (Burnett 15). Many historians have theorized that the adoption of a formal coinage system was a result of Roman interaction with the Greek world, Rome having traded intensively with the people of Magna Graecia, the Greeks of southern Italy, during this period (Burnett 15). As the Greeks knew, the ...

When reading a text, how important is the actual intent of the author? If a reader gleans a different meaning from a work than the author intended to include, is that viewpoint still valid? According to the Formalist school of literary criticism, the intentions of the author are irrelevant; as long as there is a concrete meaning to be gleaned from some interpretation of the text itself, it is valid. Formalism looks at the structure of a work itself to determine its meaning, regardless of whatever sociopolitical or narrative ends the author originally had in mind. In this light, the text takes precedence over the ...

Behavioral interventions can be grouped as either antecedent-based interventions (ABI) or consequence-based interventions (CBI). CBI is a group of practices in which the problem behaviors are addressed by manipulating the reinforcement or punishment stimuli following an observed behavior, whereas ABI refers to a group of behavioral interventions that are concerned with the modification of environmental factors that are believed to precede problem behaviors (Tullis, Cannella-Malone, & Payne, 2015). Therefore, ABI strategies are implemented before the problem behavior occurs, so their unique quality is the possibility of problem behavior prevention, which makes the behavioral change easier to maintain compared to results ...

ABSTRACT

During World War II, the Allies faced an enemy with technological capabilities that matched their own. The Germans and Japanese boasted precision weaponry that was, in many ways, the envy of the world, and this skill had much to do with the success the Axis forces encountered during the war’s early years. But as the conflict wore on, the Americans and British showed a remarkable ability to adapt not only their design and manufacture of aircraft and armaments to meet the challenge of the enemy, but also their combat tactics. The speed and maneuverability of modern aircraft required pilots ...

For example, Japan’s - GAAP financial system has in the recent past been harmonized with that of ...

One of the primary determinants of the quality of care provided in a healthcare setting is the type or kind of leadership within that setting. The nurse leader or Nurse Manager therefore plays a critical role in helping determine the quality of care. When the leadership style they utilize augurs well with the opinions and needs of their staff, then the quality of care is assured to be high and effective for the current patient population (The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals, 2012). However, in those instances where the leadership style does not suit the staff nurses and other workers, ...

The United Nations makes an impassioned plea to all countries to work towards abolishing capital punishment. However, even in countries where this has happened, many persons are still calling ...

Defending the Guilty
In 1840, Lord William Russell, an English nobleman was murdered. There was strong evidence that his butler, Courvoisier may have perpetrated the crime. Despite the strong circumstantial evidence, the butler maintained his innocence and was duly represented by his lawyer, Charles Phillips. During the court proceedings, Phillips vigorously defended his client as expected. At this point, Phillips would have already known the guilt of his client. In fact, it would be reasonable to believe that Courvoisier might have already admitted his guilt to his lawyer before the later accepted the case. During the course of ...
