Essays on Incompatibility

There has been increasing awareness of the role of waste in the production of greenhouse gas emissions and its impacts on climate change. Diminishing natural resources has led to the recognition that what is discarded as waste has the potential to be reused as resources. Governmental legislation on prohibiting toxic materials and prevention and control of the volume of waste has helped in decreasing adverse environmental effects. There is a growing public awareness about waste prevention and its beneficial effects. The society has to replace the linear model of extract-produce-consume-dispose to closed Loop's approach of resource recovery and waste ...

Introduction

Conflict is an unavoidable aspect of life. If there were no discord, thing would be predictable. However, conflict is very widespread in different areas and organizations are no exceptions to it. Organizations are competitive entities which deal with humans as employees. While minor issues persist in any setting, realization dawns only when things get out of hand. There arises the need to manage such conflict effectively. An organization provides various opportunities for conflict. Since it cannot be wished away, there is a need to encounter it. The best method of doing so would be to find the underlying causes ...

Overview: Overview: Antigen-antibody reactions are commonly used in immunological assays. In a traditional agglutination assay, the end product is a visible antibody-antigen complex that settles as visible particulate matter in the solution. In other cases, the reaction is invisible and wants the use of a specific enzyme or isotopic probes that can amplify the signal created by the antigen-antibody reaction, so that they can be detected with the naked eye or an ELISA/RIA reader1. Hemagglutination is a visible antigen -antibody assay in which soluble antibodies react with antigen on the surface of (red blood cell) RBC to form a ...

Introduction

This paper will take a look at free will. It will bring out the views of two philosophers, Ayer, and Chisholm, and try to discuss the similarities and differences in their views. The paper will also state which of the two authors gave a better view of free will. In the statements, a justification will be drawn. Incompatibilists claim for that for people to have free will, then they should do otherwise than what they have done. This brings out the PAP (the principle of alternate possibilities. In other words, they define an act of free will if the ...

Introduction

Parliamentary sovereignty is a system of governance, which denotes that Parliament is the supreme legal authority with the sole capacity to make or end any law. The relationship between Parliament and other arms of government go as far as they do not interfere with or overrule legislations passed by Parliament. The concept of supreme Parliament was discussed by the AV Dicey in his 19th-century book “The Law of the Constitution (1885, p. 39-40).” In his view, Dicey believed that Parliament has unlimited power under the English constitution to make or unmake law in whichever way it deem fit and ...

Introduction and Overview

The Rhesus factor (Rh) refers to the red blood cell’s(RBC) surface antigen;the name Rhesus comes from the small Indian monkeys in which it was first discovered. Rh incompatibility,sometimes referred to as Rh disease, is a condition that occurs when a woman with the Rh-negative blood type is exposed to Rh- positive blood cells, leading to the development of Rh antibodies. This condition can have fatal outcomes including haemolytic disease of the foetus or newborn, autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and haemolytic transfusion reactions (HTRs). These conditions have, in the past, raised a lot of concerns, and some ...

There has been a growing need to establish an understanding of the cultural divides between western nations and Islam. This has arisen due to the conflicts that seem to be ongoing between these differing perspectives. In looking at the views of two authors, an understanding of the variety of perspectives that are at work in the Muslim world can be achieved. This can help to provide insight into the basic conflicts and why they arise. The work of these two authors, in comparison, help to frame this struggle in perspective. In doing so, a more accurate judgment regarding the ...

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is recognized as a common neurodevelopmental disorder among children; in the United States, the prevalence is thought to be between 5 percent and 11 percent of children ages 4 through 17 in 2011 or approximately 6.4 million children (American Psychiatric Association, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder ; CDC.gov, Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder). Kessler places the adults with ADHD at 1 percent to 6 percent of the population (Kessler 717). A meta-analysis of 32 published research articles concluded that when children met the full diagnostic criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, 15 percent continued to show symptoms at ...

A man has created the state, and the state has created a citizen. As we all know, the state authority has to control its citizens. Of course, managing people is not an easy task. It does not matter whether it is one person or a large mass of people, their management is always based on the political violence, to a lesser extent, on the respect, which was generated by admiration. Authority, in fact, is the violence, but not obvious. Humans can admire the power and respect it, but without force and violence there is no any authority. One political ...

Introduction

Why do people study (i.e. what is their goal)? Students spend at least a quarter of their life going to school—from their preschool years to their higher education (and if in luck, graduate and doctoral school) years. There are two possible answers to this question: the simple and the complicated one. The complicated answer suggests that each person has a different reason or set of reasons why they study. Some study because they need to while some do so because they want to. The simple answer, on the other hand, suggests that people study just because they ...

Introduction

In the contemporary world, divorce is among the growing social problems, especially in the western countries. The divorce rate in the countries such as Czech Republic, Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, United States, Denmark, Sweden, and Canada among other developed countries is alarming. For instance, the 1,083 divorces were recorded in Luxembourg in 2009, which was an increase from 1,052 from 2009 (Eurostat 2010, p.35). Sociologists consider the deteriorating rate of divorce as a social problem that can be solved by preventing unwise marriage rather than keeping people together in the happy marriages. While some sociologist suggests that ...

Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn

Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN) is a blood-related disorder that occurs in a fetus or a newborn infant. This problem usually arises, when a mother has different blood type than her unborn baby, i.e. a condition known as “incompatibility”. Most common form of this incompatibility is ABO incompatibility, which is not very severe condition, and the least common form of the incompatibility is Rh incompatibility. Due to these differences in blood types, antibodies in the blood of mother attack the red blood cells of the developing baby resulting in the destruction of blood cells of the baby causing ...

Interpersonal Rejection and Human Needs

Interpersonal Rejection and Human Needs Precisely, a human being becomes a personality due to the fact that he or she lives in society and develops capabilities that are inherent in his or her biological nature in interaction with other people. These opportunities cannot be realized outside of society, thus, a human cannot become a full-fledged personality. The process of human adoption of social experience, acquisition of the qualities that allow him or her to be a member of society, is called socialization. Socialization of the individual is one of the most important factors of human existence, as it is ...

In 2009, a large-scale surveillance program, run by The Consulting Association, was exposed. The company collated information of thousands of workers and sold it to 44 construction companies. Many of the workers were blacklisted for their unionization or for raising health and safety issues in the industry. The case of the construction industry in the UK highlights the challenges union workers and trade unions may face. The story highlights the negative perception of TUs( Trade Unions) in employers' minds and the pernicious roles these unions may play in fostering the interests of employees, especially in the industries that house ...

Describe the conflict process

Conflict is not good or bad, it is inevitable. The conflict process can be described as a process through which conflict takes place. There are five stages of the conflict process. These stages are as follows. 

a.    Incompatibility: this stage is also known as the potential opposition stage. In this stage, conflict tends to arise due to different situations or conditions, along with misunderstandings regarding communication, structure, or even personal variables. 

b.    Cognition & Personalization: a conflict is a form of perception, i.e., if there is potential opposition or incompatibility exists and both parties ...

1. In a sentence or two, list the terms in the poem that are now mere memories in technology. Then indicate the extent to which you agree or disagree that the various electronic “languages” are incompatible with each other. Is this incompatibility as frustrating or as possibly dangerous as the human situation in which people cannot communicate with one another?

In the poem 16-bit Intel 8088 Chip Bukowski mentions computer terms that were obviously new at the time when the poem was written but now they are not up to date anymore (e.g. Commodore 64, IBM PC, Kaypro, Osborne, ...

Among patients with chronic illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, renal disease and cancer, mental conditions such as depression and schizophrenia, as well as acute illnesses such as infections, patient adherence to both short-term and lifelong treatment regimens is a common problem (Graziottin et al., 2011). There are several barriers to patient compliance, namely insufficient knowledge about his or her own health condition, the perception that treatment leads to little or no positive effect, unrealistic expectations regarding outcomes, low self-efficacy in relation to self-management, increased frequency of medication dosing, depression, stress and anxiety, poor provider-patient relationship, lack of social support, ...

The binding of antibodies to red blood cells can lead to potentially fatal outcomes such as hemolytic transfusion reactions, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and hemolytic disease of the fetus/newborn.1 Information regarding the first steps of hemolytic transfusion reactions is well documented. It is, however, unclear why the severity of hemolytic transfusions experienced by different individuals ranges from mild to very severe.2 The pathophysiology of the final pathways and downstream events of red blood cell hemolysis are also yet to be fully elucidated although research is ongoing.2 A recent study by Liepkalns et al. (2012)1 has reinvigorated debate on the ...

Islam and Democracy

Introduction The literature that has been written about Islam and democracy are both highly complicated in terms of interpretation of the fundamentals of democracy and are in an equal sense argued from several points of reference. These factors are compelling and are significant to the level of democracy in the Islamic world. The comparative debate presented in arguments by Irfan Ahmad and Bernard Lewis creates major literature that reveals the limitations in this path of inquiry. The main proposition in their argument is the discussion of the cliché aspect that surrounds Islam and their objective levels. The core ...

One of the most heated debates in philosophy is about the nature of free will. Determinism has not been proven false, and maybe never will, but the issue of the compatibility between determinism and free will is still generating very productive discussions. The question about how much responsibility can be attributed to men for their actions has not been answered yet. The debate between those who hold that nothing happens without a cause, and those who affirm that men are free and, therefore, completely responsible for their actions, is far from being settled. Although most people would agree that people ...

The cultural identity of a civilization is the utmost important factor in the comprehension of the nature of the community as it represents “the totality of ideas” and behaviors which the people who live in that community share. One needs to comprehend what cultural conflict is in the context of learning more about the culture of the communities across the globe. The conflict is a purposeful action on the part of two or more parties who are in a competitive situation. Such situations can even come into existence without the conscious awareness of the conflict among the players. Incompatibility is the primary ...

Interactions with hazardous materials

Chemical reactions or interactions are key to the production of various useful chemical products including polymers, fuels, paints, adhesives etc. When the reactants, catalysts, mechanism of reaction, reactor operation, temperature, pressure and other parameters are known, as well as kept under control, the products or outcome are as expected. On the other hand when chemical interactions are unexpected and lead to unknown products, consequences could be disastrous leading to severe loss. Such hazardous material interactions are more common in chemical manufacture, processing, refining and storage facilities. Reactive hazards are a serious concern since the magnitude of loss could be ...

When James Joyce was talking to a potential publisher of dubliners, he thought it would turn out to be just one section of Ireland’s moral history. Ulysses turned out to be much the same, in the form of a huge magnification of the ongoing argument that contains the frustrations of a broken heart and the awful clarity with which this Irish writer remembered, from the depths of exile, the specifics of a face that he could not forget. In Ulysses, what you get is some historical fiction showing the average lives of average dubliners thrown in high relief against he scenery of ...

Correctional Casework & Counseling

The analysis of this group of five members reveals that they are at the transitional stage of rehabilitation. This is because they have voluntarily offered themselves for a counseling process. Being at the transitional stage, the greatest concern in this case is candidates’ consent to the program and the effective adoption of the counseling process. “It is sometimes hard for inmates to accept any training program” (Voorhis, 2011). The main issues with these group members is that they originate from diverse backgrounds, hence getting them to appreciate one another may prove difficult. Effective management of this group will require the ...

Successful conflict resolution is determined by the need to understand the actual cause of the problem, which in turn affects the nature of the solutions that are employed to resolve them (Barsky, 2000). An understanding of the nature and causes of conflict is critical in not only in the design of conflict resolution strategies, but also increases personal/group awareness of conflict potential and management. This paper provides a discussion of different types of conflicts according to their causes, and offers effective interventions suitable for each type. It concludes with an analysis of my world cloud, an assessment of the implications ...

Mergers and Acquisitions (M & As) have become popular among companies, in the last two decades. The word merger describes a process whereby two or more parties come together resulting in either the creation of a totally new entity or continuance of one of the former entities (Jayesh, 2012). Conversely, acquisition refers to acquiring power over the management or assets of the company without integration of companies (Jayesh, 2012). This question seeks to find out reasons that make board of directors go for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), despite the fact that most companies that use this approach fail. The question further ...

Introduction

The standard theory of Parliamentary Sovereignty set out by AV Dicey in An Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution has often been referred to as the ‘orthodox’ theory of Parliamentary Sovereignty, and taught to generations of law students ever since the 19th Century. Dicey’s proposal was later regarded as the ‘basic principle’ of the British constitution: that a statute is to be taken as being the highest form of law within the British constitutional structure (Loveland, 2006, 23). Therefore, this implied that the British Parliament alone, is the sovereign lawmaker in the country, and no ...

Women – Rats in a Trap

Alice Walker’s short story ‘Roselily’ was published in 1973 as part of her first published collection of short stories – In Love and Trouble: Stories of Black Women. The collection was very favourably reviewed and helped bring Walker to the attention of the public. The collection also won the Rosenthal Award of the National Institute of the Arts. Since then it has often been anthologized and studied in American schools, although not without controversy. According to Donnelly, “For its ‘irreligious’ stance, ‘Roselily’ was banned in California in 1994. Apparently Christian, Roselily is tied equally to folk beliefs and superstition, ...
