Crowd Working

INTRODUCTION The nature of work is changing. From a fixed-hour, fixed-place and fixed pay job design, more recent job offers in current market suggest new developments in employment. In older work arrangements, employees are hired based on fixed-period contracts (usually renewable at employer's will and most consistently cancelled during periods of economic crunch and mass layoffs) and are compensated in return for labor hours spent in more or less fixed location and/or workplace layout design. The emergence of ICT innovations, particularly web-based workflow systems, has, however, introduced interesting novelties into how work can be done but also, probably more ...

Summary

In the article “Transferring Water from Agricultural to Urban Use Is Beneficial” Robert Glennon discusses the dilemma faced by the people of US regarding the scarcity of water.

Introduction:

In the last few decades there has been a growing trend with regards to the privatization of water supply. This signifies that taking the water-management responsibility from the government and placing it into the hands of private sector. This pattern has created objection from a lot of environmental and human rights organizations that worry that passing water distribution to the private sector will result in nothing, but trouble for everyone concerned (aside from those earning the benefits). Even though there happen to be a couple of challenges within the development of water privatization, the enhancements in quality, supply, and distribution strategies cannot ...

Red blood cells take approximately 120 days to be produced. The process of its production is called erythropoiesis and the place of production is myeloid tissue. For the formation of red blood cells, the haemocytoblast must be present. The existence of Multi-CSF causes the haemocytoblast to progress into progenitor cells. The progenitor cells, on the other hand, will form other cells. This cell may also develop into proerythroblast when EPO is present. Proerythroblast forms basophilic erythroblast which will in turn develop into polychromatophilic erythroblast, followed by normoblast which develops into reticulocyte which eventually becomes erythrocyte. All these developments must ...
