That day we were to go for a demonstration demanding from the administration that all students should be awarded their rightful marks for a particular class that we had undertaken mid-semester last year. The results were finally out, but nobody was happy with the results from that class. The professor who taught that class was known to lose papers once students submitted them, ...

What are the standard logistics operational characteristics of a consumer product company?

Logistics costs reduction, improvement of inventory, and the availability and maintaining optimal service levels are some of the characteristics in standard logistics operations (Gudehus & Kotzab, 2012). Logistics costs management is an essential element in operations of a standard logistics company. Costs determine company efficiencies and earnings. A reduction in logistics cost increases efficiencies and a company’s profit earnings as well as ensuring customer satisfaction. Improving availability of inventory ensures that logistics processes are done in a timely and cost-effective manner. On the other hand, the maintenance of optimal service level ensures that the costs of products are reduced ...

Multiculturalism is a defining characteristic of the Canadian people, where persons of diverse backgrounds and origins live in harmony. However, discord persists over the impact of various legislation and practices in the integration of immigrants as well as identifiable religious minorities. Multiculturalism, for instance, finds opposition on the premises that it promotes balkanization and isolation of ethnic groups. Proponents argue that such policy encourages herding of ethnic groups, where differences between groups are amplified as opposed to their common identity as Canadians (Kymlicka Par1). It is imperative for a multiethnic nation like Canada to institute mechanisms that facilitate feelings ...

The Canadian healthcare and social assistance sector falls under the NAICS classification. The sector entails a publicly funded healthcare system. The sector is guided by the provisions of the Canada Health Act of 1984 (Belchetz). The sector, relative to its peers in most other countries including the U.S and Mexico, is unique. Its uniqueness arises from the fact that despite being predominantly publicly funded, most of the healthcare services at the point of sale are provided for by private practitioners. The Canadian healthcare and social assistance sector has been billed in many quarters as a model to be followed ...

Introduction

In the early part of the 1950’s, in what has now become the “Simon-Waldo debates,” began to be published in The American Political Science Review. Starting as a reference in Waldo’s “Development of Theory of Democratic Administration” work that was released in March 1952, the high profile debates was anchored on Waldo’s doubts on the concern of “logical positivism” and the response of Herbert Simon in the succeeding June issue of the Review. As newcomers to the discipline and both in their early 30s, Waldo and Simon discussed the issues of democracy, efficiency, and principles, ...

Part 1 – Assault and Battery

The terms “assault and battery” are often used together although these are two separate crimes. An assault is defined as an action that causes a person to feel the threat of impending violence. An action such as raising a fist or moving menacingly towards the intended victim constitutes an assault, even if no physical contact has occurred. The crime of battery occurs when there is physical contact. Grabbing a person’s arm or punching or striking a person constitutes a case of battery (Baldwin, 2007). Simple assault or battery, where there is limited threat of violence or a minor ...

According to Davis, Cladis & Motoyama (2011), the breathing pattern of newborns from up to the age of six months is purely diaphragmatic (abdominal), hence; the need to understand various positions that allow the infant breath effectively.

Communication between people takes place every time and everywhere. Language is extremely powerful tool which helps people to understand each other's needs, wishes, expectations, convey meaningful messages and just reach a desired consensus. However, it often occurs that the way people speak, how they behave during a conversation, is much more important than what they actually say. The function of our facial expressions is “to convey delicate shades of emotion and intention” (Burling, 2015), as it is much easier than to do with a language. Likewise, observing people speaking or reacting to the co-speaker, not even hearing the words, ...

A merger is the unification of companies. Usually, there are five types of mergers: product extension mergers, conglomerate merger, market extension merger, horizontal merger, and vertical merger. Each type serves a unique economic function for the businesses involved. Acquisitions occur when a company takes over another firm (Galpin, & Herndon, 2014). The difference between the two strategies is that a merger is meant to combine the interests of the business entities involved thereby creating a firm that is much stronger. In mergers, the two combining companies usually get a new name. The merging companies are mostly the same size. On ...

It is a fact that people want to have the perfect smile, one like the stars of Hollywood have. And it is not unusual to desire having the perfect teeth because they add to a person’s physical beauty, and they also enhance one’s confidence while they communicate, smile or take a picture. Therefore, if a person does not have the perfect teeth, has cavities or needs help in enhancing their beauty, then dental technology can immensely help them.

Abstract

Over the past years, the criminal justice system has experienced both praises and criticism involving the manner in which various officers enforce law and order. While most officers strive to ensure sanctity and order prevail among all equals, a section of the officers overlook the art of humanity and apply undue force to innocent and suspected individuals. Unfortunately, the blanket of corruption shields the officers from prosecution in the effort to safeguard the exposition of the inner affairs of the police culture. Corruption broils police brutality and individual victimization with unwarranted allegations as a weapon to silence their sufferings. ...

A number of commentators hold that the gap is described in terms of its stability; others proffer that there is an observable closing of the gap, particularly ...

Introduction

Gun control refers to as laws and policies that have been enacted to regulate the manufacture, transfer, possession as well as the use of guns by the civilians. Gun control in the United States came at a time when massive shooting, killing, suicide, and gun related violence was on the rise in the United States. It is because of this that President Barrack Obama and his committee decided to propose the gun control policy. The annual review of public health statistics shows that gun related deaths tally to approximately 33,000 annually (Wintemute and Garen 9). For information on ...

The series of mass shootings in different states has intensified current debate over gun control. For decades, gun control has been an issue of conflicting influences between supporters (particularly powerful ones, including, most notably, National Rifle Association) and opponents in formal, partisan and informal, public settings. Needless to emphasize, current presidential election has but highlighted gun control, adding more dimensions to what has in earlier decades been a strictly legal debate. There are, however, rising voices among supporters of gun ownership to enable minors to have guns. This is, indeed, a new development which has far broader implications well ...

Term and Year Skin-to-Skin Contact for Neonates The separation of mother and neonate for non-urgent medical reasons is a growing trend in nursing practice. However, research has indicated that the practice can have a deleterious long term effect on the healthy infant and mother with regard to breast feeding, cardio-respiratory stability, and blood glucose levels (Moore, Anderson, Bergman, & Dowswell, (2014). The solution to the problem is to initiate skin-to-skin contact at birth (Moore, et al., 2014). The nursing focused plan is to introduce the practice of skin-to-skin contact following birth, which entails placing the naked infant prone on the ...

As time progressed and with the end of WW II, there was more awareness and sensitivity towards homosexuals and discussions and policies to provide fair treatment and employment began to emerge.

The lights say nothing of their purpose. The city splits the view as a narrow band in darkness fractured by the lines of light from its houses, from its streets, life contrasting with black emptiness but conveying no meaning. From far away the details evaporate. Personal existences, millions of them, in all their action, all their dreams, signal their presence anonymously. The clouds above, barely perceptible, present as much to the camera in their transient passing as these millions of people reduced to mere light present as signifiers, place marks, splats on a map, splats that barely rise above ...

Introduction: Domestic violence: profile of an offender

In the past, an act of domestic violence was not considered as a matter that merits the engagement of the law. Though men have pummeled, maltreated, and molested their intimate partners for years, the common comprehension of society was that abuse and maltreatment of women was as a part of the marriage. It was only to the end of the 1970s that domestic violence was understood as a criminal offense that warranted the involvement of the criminal justice system. However, there has been much contention as to the establishment of a general, universally accepted ...

In a society that believes in the adage, "sex sells", it is no wonder how food companies and advertisers are using sexualized images, particularly of women, to advertise their food and products. Society holds certain stereotypes of the ideal woman as skinny and often advertisers use this perception to advertise their products. Thus, an image advertising food or any other product that portrays a woman as anything but skinny and beautiful would be frowned upon and sales would not be favorable. There are instances when women are portrayed as voracious about food. However, these images and advertisements only use ...

The issue before the court in this case was whether this standard of proof was the proper standard to be used in determining retaliation or was the appropriate standard the “motivating factor” standard. Or more specifically, whether a plaintiff claiming retaliation can win a claim based on discrimination being a “motivating factor” for retaliation or must the plaintiff show that the discrimination was the reason for the retaliation. In addressing this issue, the United States Supreme Court determined that the standard of proof used to allege a claim for retaliation under Title VII must be the but for test ...
