For the same reason, a solid background in building physics is an integral part of a building’s design, particularly in this modern era wherein green buildings are the rising trend.

In an effort to improve the education of American schoolchildren from kindergarten through 12th grade, the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) were released by the Council of Chief State Schools Officers and the National Governors Association in 2010 (Applebee, 2013); 43 of 50 states adopted them by 2013 (Conley, 2014).

Introduction

In this paper, I will argue that the fact that a certain individual is recognized as an employee, automatically “grants” employer status to the person or entity that hires this individual; the legal status of employer is inherently connected to the status of employee. Both parties acquire certain rights and obligations as soon as their relationship falls under the definition of employment. However, as much as there are no strict criterion that help to determine whether a person is an employee, similarly, whether an entity or an individual is an employer will largely depend on the form of relationship ...

Stevens G.A. et.al (2012) in the article National, regional, and global trends in adult overweight and obesity prevalence identify the overwhelming rates of obesity all over the globe. The writers aim to present comparable and contrasting trends in obesity and overweight levels in various regions. They provide estimates of 1980 to 2008 amongst the adult population of over 20 years old. A Bayesian Hierarchical Paradigm is utilized to measure the body mass index of the sample to evaluate the variables in the study such as gender, year, country, and age of the adults (Stevens G.A et.al, 2012). The findings ...
