An operating system forms the core of a computer in that it coordinates the processes of the computer, its memory, and all of the computer’s hardware and software. It likewise permits the user to connect with the computer even without prior knowledge of how to interpret the language of the computer. A computer without an operating system is non-functional. In most cases, there are some diverse computer programs functioning simultaneously, and they all must access the memory, storage, and the central processing unit (CPU) of the computer. The operating system harmonizes all the programs to make sure every ...

A Review of Literature

INTRODUCTION The United States has currently been struggling with a great deal of political warfare, social unrest and public protest from the inside and from terrorism, global criticism and immigration battles from the outside. There are so many issues that the subjects of debate seem endless. One of the most controversial and often debated issues today is gun control. There is no doubt that it is incredibly dangerous when offenders are armed when they commit crimes like burglary or in a car-jacking; more so when these offenders have every premeditated intent to kill. At the same time, not everyone ...

Milton Friedman believes that in a free society we must not forget that there are two types of freedom and they should not be confused. The proper role of the government is to consider these two ways of understanding freedom - which are freedom from coercion and freedom of ‘free of cost’- and help individuals reach their objectives, interfering with each other as minimum as possible. The government should create opportunities to help people achieve their goals, knowing of course that there is no absolute freedom in society. It is important to notice that for Friedman, the society ...

Search and seizure legal procedures draw much controversy because most people have a high level of expectations regarding privacy. This high level of expectations can be traced back to England’s ‘castle doctrine’ wherein the law recognizes the right of a person to defend one’s home or property from unlawful entry (U.S. Government Publishing Office, 1992, p. 1199). Such expectations regarding privacy, however, is not absolute. In fact, the law provides that intrusion on private property can be made lawful under certain circumstances prescribed by the law. There are several provisions under the United States constitution that can ...

Article 3 of the Palermo Protocol of 2000 which adds-on the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime gives the definition of trafficking of people as an international crime which entails recruiting, relocation or confinement of persons through illegal meansby using force, threatening the person, abducting them, deceiving or by misrepresenting facts primly for purposes of exploitation.

Emmanuel Kant describes enlightenment as a situation of self-awareness where an individual emerges from self-imposed immaturity. Thus, this state marks a transition from darkness to awareness, and it comes with freedom. Moreover, Kant regards immaturity as a complete inability of an individual to use his conscience or understanding without the intervening guidance of another person (Deligiorgi, 2005). A clear lack of resolve and courage precipitates to the denial of personal freedom, but an affliction on others for sole guidance. Principally, Kant’s assertion about enlightenment is entrenched on having the courage to use personal understanding and courage to dispense ...

The term ‘actus reus’ refers to the physical component of the crime, while ‘mens rea’ addresses the mental aspect of the offence. Situations, when the alleged perpetrator has the actus reus, but lack mens rea can be different, and a solution depends on the constituent components of a particular crime. First of all, strict liability offences and a range of other offences that differ across statutes and common law under different jurisdictions do not require proving mens rea. Strict liability often refers to minor offences (e.g., selling alcohol to an under-aged individual), where it is hard to determine the ...

Background

The Multifibre Agreement was developed in 1974 and governed the world’s textile sector until 2004 when it was phased-out. The accord inflicted quotas on the amount developing countries could export to the developed world. It was meant to help the developed countries adjust to existing absolute advantage that the developing countries have in the textile industry. The existence of the agreement allowed the Bangladesh textile industry to flourish in the 20th century and early 21st century. It was highly expected that the phase-out of the MFA would greatly affect Bangladesh negatively as the country was highly dependent on ...

Abstract

Linear Regression (LR) forecasts the value of a random variable (dependent variable) for a given value of an associated independent variable. The regression equation provides the formula for such a calculation. Simple Exponential Smoothing (SES) forecasts the bases its forecasts on a weighted average of past data, with more weight on the more recent periods. A smoothing factor helps in providing weight. It generally forecasts for the short-term. In the present case, we forecast the sales data for year-2 for ABC Furniture Company using both the methods. For SES, we use two smoothing factors α equal to 0.15 and 0.90 ...

While the resulting dominance of European powers over persons in the areas with which they came into contact was acceptable, the effects of global trade on societal norms of Europe were unprecedented. In other words, just as the Triangle Trade influenced Europe’s place in the world, it also affected its interior societal makeup. The Emergence of Industrial Society in the West highlights the three steps that led to the Age of Revolutions: Commercial Revolution, Scientific Revolution, and Enlightenment (5mins).The Commercial Revolution posed the first threat to European traditions by debunking the ideologies of birthrights as the source ...

Q1. A 200mm diameter pipeline divides into two smaller pipelines, one being 100mm in diameter and the other being 150mm in diameter. If the velocity in the 100mm pipe is 0.3m/s and that in the 150mm is 0.6m/s, calculate the flowrate in litres/s and the velocity in m/s in the 200mm pipe. [ 13 l/s, 0.413m/s] Solution: Flow Rate = (pi/4)(0.1)2(0.3) + (pi/4)(0.15)2(0.6) = 0.01296 cubicmeters/sec = 12.96 l/sec. (ans.). Velocity = (Flow Rate)/(Area) = [0.01296]/[(pi/4)(0.1)2] = 0.4125 m/s. Q2. If the specific volume of water is 0.001251 m3 /kg. calculate:

According, to Paine, what is the difference between society and government?

Society is produced by our wants and government by wickedness. Society, promotes our happiness and encourages intercourse. Government on the other hand, restrains our vices and creates distinctions. In every state, society is a blessing but a government even in its best state is evil. Society is a patron and government a punisher.

What is the meaning of "liberty" and "equality" in Paine's thought?

Liberty means the state of being free within society. Living free from the cruel limitations imposed by authority. Having the freedom to express their own political views. Equality to him, was the state of being equal in positions. Having equal rights, positions and opportunities. 3. What ...

Abstract

Regretfully, diagnosis of diabetes is very common nowadays. Diabetes has become a worldwide epidemic and one of the leading causes of premature morbidity and mortality because it often leads to amputation of limbs, loss of sight, kidney failure and provokes cardiovascular disease. However, it is not that hard to suspect a high risk of developing diabetes or the disease itself before the analysis of blood sugar levels. Many of the signs of diabetes are visible to the naked eye. Paying attention to them in timely manner can avoid the severe consequences of the disease. Patients with diabetes can lead ...

Chapter 3: Methodology

3.0 Introduction The theory of purchasing power parity is essential for the study of international trade since it argues that there exist a relationship between prices of products and exchange rates. This theory provides a framework for assessing long-term changes in the exchange rates. It states that similar goods and services in various countries should have the same cost in the long-run (Frankel 153). Essentially, the PPP theory is based on the assertion that the exchange rates tend to adjust themselves in such a way that there no opportunity costs for buying particular goods or services in a particular ...

Book Review of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest

Introduction One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a breath-taking novel that was written in the twentieth century by Ken Kessey. The plot for this story was set in a psychiatric hospital found in Oregon. This narrative is essential in the world of research because it is a study of the institutional processes as well as the mind. Also, this story serves to critic the theory of behaviorism which is a psychological theory that stipulates that human behavior can be described by conditioning without giving weight to the thought processes and feelings (Ward 4). In other words, psychological ...

ECONOMICS

Absolute and comparative advantages. England has absolute advantages in producing scones (50 > 4), Scotland has absolute advantages in sweaters production (2 > 1). As for comparative advantages, England should be focused on scones production as well (alternative costs for 50 scones is only 1 sweater); Scotland has comparative advantages in sweaters production (alternative costs for 1 sweater is only 20 scones). So, for both absolute and comparative advantages, England should produce scones, Scotland – sweaters. If England and Scotland decide to trade, Scotland will trade sweaters to England. It could be explained by theory of absolute and comparative advantages ( ...

Crime refers to an offense that is legally recognized as deserving punishment. The most common form of legal punishment is the detention of an individual in a prison. In contemporary detention facilities, such people are incarcerated: this works for both adult and delinquents. Delinquents are persons aged below 17 years and who according to the law are still minors. In most cases, they persist in crime despite the numerous efforts to rehabilitate them back into the society. This, therefore, culminates the question, is it true that crime can be traced through an individual’s life back to their younger ...

Philosophy

With the advent of the Scientific Revolution, there was an increased level of comfort in the society which led to probing the ancient notions or the beliefs that were long held by the majority. A majority of philosophers started giving out their own opinions about a variety of subjects like politics, government, social order, economics, and religion among others. The Era of Enlightenment started with this new found curiosity about scholarly or philosophical opinion becoming popular in the entire Europe. The Enlightenment Era was a time period in the 18th century Europe, which was a movement where philosophers applied ...

Abstract

When an organization has cash inflows and outflows of foreign nature, the cash forecast for every currency will help during the identification of the currency exposures. The format of the estimation should allow the users to determine the balance for every currency and whether there is a growing shortage or extra money over time based on reasonable cash flows. The increasing gaps between the cash inflows and outflows may need hedging, and the cash flows that offset over time represents the issue of timing effectively. The management of foreign exchange transaction can be achieved through the offsetting transactions to ...

Philosophy Questions

1. Ross’ s Moral Theory is considered to stand between Kant’s strict deontological theory and theological theory of utilitarianism. According to the philosopher, there existed several prima facie duties that people had to hold in respect if they did not contradict one another. In case they conflicted, human’s intuition would help to make the right choice and find the weightiest and the most important duty. Ross stated that any prima facie obligation could be redefined by more important ones. While Kant saw all obligations absolute and exceptionless, Ross allowed maximization of the good as one of the ...

Introduction

People have always been fascinated about how language affects their thoughts or even the process of thinking. Considering this thought, is it then right to say that people from different language groups speak differently? This paper’s thesis statement argues that language simply serves as a medium of communication and is therefore only a means that can be used to interpret how unique and different people and groups of people are from each other. The argument that suggests that language affects people’s thoughts is based on the idea that language is what determines how moral or crooked one ...

The Solow Model

For long, the concept of economic change has been interesting economists. The reasons why some of the countries are poor while others are rich or even the understanding of why some nations grow faster than others has constantly disturbed the understanding of most economists. The theory of economic growth has been put upfront in explaining the growth indices of different nations. In its place, the theory of economic growth aims at explaining whether poor countries can grow faster than their rich counterparts, catch up with them and close their income gaps, that is converge. Elaborated by Trevor Swan and ...

The role of heuristics and consumers' market beliefs in individual decision-making

The decision-making process of consumer may be represented as the solution of the problem whether to purchase or not particular product or service. In this case the criterion of the optimal solution is the benefit that the consumer receives as the result of his purchasing decision. In order to adjust the outcome of purchasing decision to individual preferences, a person may apply various strategies intentionally or unconscionably. An important feature of such strategies is the question of whether the consumer may limit his desire or customer's beliefs to make the buying decision in accordance with the principles of heuristic. ...

Essay

Immanuel Kant: Reason and Freedom Immanuel Kant argues that being purely objective or purely rational and being independently free are two peas in a pod. As Kant argued in his widely known book Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, all human beings possess what he refers to as 'the idea of freedom' (Pasternack, 2002, 12). He builds his concept of categorical imperatives-- in the absence of which responsibility and morality would cease to exist-- upon the speculated idea that freedom is an omnipresent concept. Kant claims that it is clearly not possible for people to envision themselves as 'un-free' ( ...

The role of primary caregivers is becoming more pivotal. This is happening at the time when the world is enterprising, and more career paths are opening up. According to Dwyer (2013), the US is going to experience an acute shortage of primary caregivers in the future. Nursing is an emotionally, physically and mentally demanding role that requires total dedication and absolute attention. The workplace is also changing, and the roles of a nurse are increasing daily.

Question 1

(a.) The federal government determines a measure of poverty by comparing pre-tax income with a cost of minimum and standard food diet in the country which is updated annually basing on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Professionals have defined absolute poverty with the emphasis on the monetary aspect of it. As such, according to the government Absolute poverty refers to a situation where a person's financial ability is insufficient to maintain the minimum standard of living (Bogenschneider, 2014). With the increase in scrutiny on social welfare issues, experts find several drawbacks on the government guidelines used to define absolute ...

Q1 (a)

Traditionally, the federal government has defined absolute poverty with the emphasis on the monetary aspect of it. As such, according to the government Absolute poverty refers to a situation where a person’s financial ability is insufficient to maintain the minimum standard of living ((Bogenschneider, 2016). With the increase in scrutiny on social welfare issues, experts find several drawbacks on the government guidelines used to define absolute poverty. These drawbacks could affect the effectiveness of public assistance programs; therefore, it is vital to take note of some of the crucial disadvantages. As mentioned, the government lays emphasis on money ...

Limited resources dictate the need to choose the optimum production values and the production process, based on the principles of a combination of factors, taking into account the substitution effect of the scale of production and the law of declining productivity. Every society, every economic agent tends to use resources effectively. They try to get the maximum amount of goods and services produced from limited resources. To achieve this objective, the company must make full use (completely take) their resources and thus ensure getting the most possible output. The most possible volume of production provided an effective allocation of ...

“Gone Baby Gone” is a mystery film masterfully directed by Ben Affleck, an actor and a screenwriter. The kidnapping story set in the criminal districts of Boston depicts the characters and their neighborhoods as backward and appalling. At the very beginning of the film, we find out that Amanda McCready, a little girl, has gone. Thus, her aunt and uncle decide to involve two private detectives, Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro, into the police investigation of the girl missing. Meanwhile, Amanda’s drug-addicted mother does not skip any episode of Jerry Springer Show, even though her child has disappeared. ...

The ritual of marriage is a very important milestone in the life of an individual and, more so, in the life of an individual who is also a devout Christian. The Scripture often mentions the sanctity of marriage as well as the permanency of it in one’s life. Such descriptions have resulted in a dilemma for particular individuals who, for some unfortunate reason, have had to divorce and remarry. At present, Catholicism does not permit divorced individuals to remarry unless and until they have had their marriage annulled by the Church. While the Orthodox Catholic views on remarriage ...

Faith, being an intangible concept, is almost indefinable. But there are theologians, like Soren Kierkegaard and Paul Tillich, who dared to define faith and its role in everyday life. There are similarities and differences between the interpretation of Kierkegaard and Tillich of faith, and some critics are not contented with or opposed to their ideas, particularly as regards the subject-object division. This paper argues that a thorough, critical analysis of the ideas of Kierkegaard and Tillich regarding faith will demonstrate both theologians remaining devoted to the conflict between the finite world and the infinite, unbounded realm. Kierkegaard often emphasizes ...

Business Ethics – Liberalism

Introduction Liberals and conservatives always argue in political and economic matters. This split has its root in many aspects of society including the conduct of modern businesses and business ethics. Business ethics refer to the proper business practice and policy regarding a potentially controversial issue. The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of business ethics in detail and review how liberal (utilitarianism) and conservative (deontological) ideologies come together to shape business ethic problems.

Every business provides a solution to the society. Thus, organizations take inputs from the society, process it and offers it to the public ...

Introduction

The distinction between how the West and the East control their local affairs, and how they organize their institutions is enormous. In a normal context, though, even two states in similar vicinity exhibit major differences in individual economic policies, religious inclination, and political systems. Notwithstanding that, it is important to appreciate the similarities and dissimilarities that manifest due to the location in certain regions. The case of Saudi Arabia and France is a good one to understand how regional influences affect, the systems of government, political institutions, faith and economic policies of a state. For instance, the Saudi Arabia ...

Introduction

The notion of "nothing" is one of the most important and controversial concepts in the history of humankind. Its etymology is quite interesting for the consideration, as it can discover many different mysteries associated with the most important knowledge. In addition, the perception of this idea may be absolutely controversial, if one talks about it in the framework of religion and philosophy of the Western and the Eastern worlds. Nothing is everything, and at the same time, it is a lack of everything. This notion has a negative connotation; it denies everything to what it is opposed; moreover, it ...

A History of Innovation

Tesla was founded in 2003 by engineers who wanted to capitalize on the growing market for electric vehicles (Tesla, 2016). Tesla was named after Nikolai Tesla, and the corporation uses several of his patents in the construction of its vehicles. Our major production was the Tesla Roadster, created in 2008. The Roadster could go from zero to sixty MPH in 3.7 seconds, making it one of the quickest vehicles on the market, let alone one of the fastest electric vehicles.

The argument was advocated as a means of establishing reliable systems of government, religion, and ...

Introduction

Over the years, several definitions of a cult have emerged. Even though some views are quite contrary to the actual intentions of these particular groups, perhaps there exist reasons why people think so. In sociology and other social sciences, cults have been described as being either semi-religious or religious grouping whose members are restrained by a single individual or grouping (Lorne 23). However, a theologically based understanding of a cult has it that a cult is just but a religious group that derives from a particular religion implicitly or explicitly denying one or more doctrines of the major religion. ...

Raymond Carver is one of the authors who have explored one of the perspectives on love. In the short story “What We Talk about When We Talk about Love”, Carver explores the ideas of different people when they talk about love. There is a need to focus on certain elements as they are crucial to the understanding of the short story. One such element is the elusiveness of love.

In the 4th Century BC, Aristotle clearly stated that for a government to have an effective constitution, it must have in place three basic elements. These are a public assembly, various officers of the state and lastly a judicial department. One of the most famous quotes of John Adams is ‘power must never be trusted without a check’. This may be said to mean that in instances that an individual or an institution which is tasked with the authority to rule over a people should never be given the absolute authority to have the absolute authority. Institutions checking on ...

Percentages are very useful in day to day activities and can be a handy way of writing fractions, making comparisons and describing change. For example, in a class test where a student scores 7 points out of a possible 10, and as a fraction, this is expressed as 7/10. The same can also be expressed as a percentage where the fraction 7/10 is multiplied by 100 percent. In this case 7/10*100%= 70%. Therefore, the student scored 70 percent of the total mark in the test. On the other hand, percentages can also be used to describe change. For ...

A major engineering firm has introduced virtual teams around the globe to resolve client emergencies. Although some of these emergencies are routine (they occur often enough that the engineers have ready-made action plans), several are novel. Furthermore, information about the client emergencies often comes second hand from employees of the client, so some of the details are missing or ambiguous. Although the company plans to eventually offer a variety of communication media that these virtual teams can use, engineers are currently limited to email, telephone, fax machine, and an instant messaging program that was recently introduced.First, discuss media richness. ...

The case Study “Money Does not Buy Happiness. Well,on Second Thought" looks into the discussion about the absolute happiness and the relation between money and happiness of individuals and countries. The point that the article brings to the surface is that, while in 1974, the empirical studies outlined that money can make individuals happier, however, this paradox is not applicable to the country level, recent research Stevenson and Walker argues that rich countries as much as rich people tend to be happier. The increase in financial welfare also directly related to the increase in satisfaction with life. The ...

Rank and Yank performance appraisal system was first implemented by Jack Walsh as a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the General Motors Company. The concept of the forced ranking approach to managing labor in the companies since then has received a lot of attention in academic and business literature. While the approach allows developing a number of measures on a personal and professional side and evaluates the individual performance of employees, a lot of critics of the approach argue that the negative outcome of the Rank and Yank approach is the creation of the working environment built upon competition ...

In her book “The Second Sex” Simone de Beauvoir discusses the role and nature of women in society, saying that “She is defined and differentiated with reference to man and not he with reference to her; she is incidental, the inessential as opposed to the essential. He is the Subject, he is Absolute - she is the Other” (Beauvoir 1993, p. 16). Beauvoir’s argument indicates the presence of male dominance in society that has existed for thousands of years. Furthermore, her argument indicates that problems related to class and race will inevitably become man-made problems because of their ...
