HR and Information Technology (HRIS)

Introduction Business undertaking involves various pitfalls such as poor organizational traditions, the big squeeze, identity crisis, and organizational failure. These pitfalls continue to be inevitable in an organization until effective HR is adopted. Research has established that the creation of consistent and sustained competitive advantage is achievable through effective HR (Pouransari, Al-Karaghouli, & Dey, 2016). Human resources must be managed well for the success of an organization. Every individual working in an organization plays a contributory role in its management. Tarawneh (2012) argued that since human resources are needed in all aspects of business operations ranging from production to marketing, ...

Although the times of oppression related to gender, class, and race seem to have gone by, the issues of discrimination still matter in our country even nowadays when people finally seem to understand that diversity should be celebrated. According to Andersen and Collins, attitudes toward gender, class, and race are the foundation of our society and it is impossible to understand its structure, nor organization without taking into account this triad (Andersen & Collins, 2). This paper focuses on three issues related to how the subject should be dealt with in the modern context: intersection, or overlapping of different ingredients ...

Business and the law intersect in several ways such that there is the interplay between the two. However, it is the law that affects most aspects of the business by trying to regulate the manner in which business activities are conducted. Some of the areas in which this intersection plays out include torts, intellectual property, employment, and contracts. Firstly, the law impacts business in various ways. For instance, through the legal principles of tort such as the law of negligence, the law ensures that business people are held responsible for selling defective products. Product liability suits have become common ...

Living in peace is essential to the maintenance of a successful environment. In fact, lack thereof compromises national due to the emotional, social and psychological turmoil created by the disturbance. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that domestic violence is a pervasive problem in the global community. According to Sokoloff (157), one in every four women experiences domestic violence while in their relationships. Similarly, one in every seven men is a victim of domestic violence in their lifetime. In spite of the numerous interventions set aside to eliminate this problem, its complete eradication has not ...

Introduction

The Petrochemical industry in the ministry of energy has been focusing on the oil prices change and how it influences the economy.

Main post starting a thread: The Intersection of Poverty Discourses by Debra Henderson and Anne Tickamayer. Honest and open discussions on how racism, stereotyping and other forms of prejudice impact the lives of the poor are necessary in order to overcome the society’s resistance in assisting the categories of poor people labeled as ‘undeserving’, and in order to create more opportunities for these people to secure jobs, complete their education and to become self-sufficient. In their article, “The Intersection of Poverty Discourses”, Debra Henderson and Anne Tickmayer discuss the notions of deserving and undeserving poor. The undeserving poor, ...

Art has traditionally been used to act as a means through which various messages are conveyed. The ability of an artist is often gauged through the capacity to communicate a given message effectively through his/her piece of art. Architecture is no different, with architectural work being used to send messages of their own. Gandelsonas and Eisenman make an attempt to explain how architects can broaden the scope of architectural work from emphasizing on functionality and aesthetics to being a medium of communication. According to Eisenman, the intersection of semiotics and architecture comes with the effort of finding a balance ...

The massive audience did not pack into the stadium to watch a concert. They did not come out in droves to witness teams of football players make touchdowns. They did not scream and cheer as men made baskets in a tense basketball game. This was not a traditional sporting event; ...

Abstract

The application of the rule of law as well as driving the use of the law towards the creation of a law abiding society is the limelight towards the creation of a society which does not condone crime and its sycophants. Enforcing law is one of the most effective mechanisms of controlling crime in any area. The use of the police as a law enforcement mechanism encourages peaceful coexistence within the society. The control of crime is usually a major step in discouraging crimes in communities. In the places where there are high cases of criminal cases reported, the ...

Bourdieu’s Concepts of Capital and Habitus and Contemporary Class Differences

Introduction Since 1986 when Bourdieu published his book with the concepts of cultural capital and habitus, many social changes have happened, primarily driven by changes in technology and new ways of interactions. For instance, compared to thirty years ago, it is now easier to break the glass ceiling of social stratification because there is a bigger social spread. Many rich people interact with people from humble backgrounds on the internet, and, since the class is not the first thing that comes up when these relations start, people from higher classes discover that they are interacting with people from the ...

Working in a team presents an opportunity for someone to teach as they learn. I realized that I had good communication skills when we started the project, and I helped in the appointment of the team leader. Taking meeting minutes is not as complicated as most people think, it only matters that one makes sure that they are very attentive during the meeting. The use swabs to create a platform provided a challenge of working with fragile raw materials, to make structures that are strong and creative. Working with glue to wax the buds of the swabs enabled us ...

Cash is the main means of settlement in pricing gold and silver in the future markets. It is however not consistent with the demand and supply situations observed in the actual market. Trade in the current market is done using bullion. Increase in bullion supply in future markets results from the printing of uncovered contracts which represent gold claims. This is temporary and false. The rise in paper bullion supply contracts results in a decrease in the price in future markets regardless of the high bullion demand in the physical market and its reduced supply. Using empirical evidence and ...

Policing may occur by both private and public investigators. Policing is the maintenance of peace in a community. Security is the goal. Private police originally emerged because the public police could not fulfill all the needs and securities of individuals. Corporations and private landowners were the first to hire private investigators, but today, they are being hired by railroads, airports and even the government. There are very few similarities and many differences between these two types of investigators. The most obvious difference between private and public investigators is the involvement of government: One works for the government and the ...

The IS LM model or the Hicks –Hansen model is the macroeconomic tool that shows the relationship between the interest rates and the real output of goods and services and the money market. The intersection of the investment - saving curve or the IS curve and liquidity preference curve or the money supply curve is the general equilibrium in both the markets .This model explains the changes in the national income when the price level is fixed in the short run and also shows the reason for the shift in the aggregate demand curve. It was first developed by ...

Is The World How We Perceive It to Be?

Introduction Philosophy, like the hard sciences, always introduces very enigmatic concepts. Until now, the idea of the reality of the world and where it really did come from still remains an unsolved mystery. With this being said, one ultimate question arises, how certain are we that the world is really how we perceive it to be? This paper analyzes the answers given by two of the world’s modern-day philosophers John Locke, and George Berkeley.

The major claim that John Locke, an English philosopher, used to approach the question was the concept of Tabula Rasa. This concept states that ...

Implications of global engineering profession

Abstract It is certain that engineering profession exists in full capacity to meet societal interests. This means that engineering possesses an inherent impact on the community. An engineer would conduct themselves towards other engineers, employers, clients and the society as a whole as part of their profession. The codes of professional conduct are basic in laying the road map for professional relationships. As professionals, engineers internalize professional codes to realize and realize their stake in the application to the society. Engineers view their professional codes as just static statements developed by their predecessors with little or no contribution from ...

Fell et al. argues that “implementing a federal requirement for states to mandatory examine older drivers is the key to end road carnage(424” .Fatal crashes for older drivers are significantly different to those of other age groups. Drivers aged 70 in most instances intersection crashes are common while driving given that, the older driver is turning right across traffic and accidents where the older driver drives off the road (Fell et al. 423-431). It is essential for old drivers to have a medical examination each year so that to retain their license. As elderly drivers reach 70 years ...

This article explores the accuracy of making distance estimations regarding a particular walked route when an individual has extra information about additional routes present. This research particularly focuses on comparing gender differences in estimation of distances when exposed to other routes. Thus, the central research question of this study is to determine how men and women compare when it comes to estimating distances in the event of exposure to multiple ...

Patricia O’Leary’s article “Barragan Homage to Albers” refers to Luis Barragan’s architectural style, enriched over the years through influences from painters from the architect’s close proximity. O’Leary mentions Jesus Reyes or Raul Ferrera as two Mexican painters that are known for inspiring Barragan’s use of color in architecture. However, the article mostly focuses on the impact that the painting of the German painter, Josef Albers, had on Barragan’s use of color in architecture. The writing focuses on Barragan’s shifts from the modest and discrete use of color prior to his friendship ...

Abstract

In this paper, we have studied the different types of information perception, such as color identification and reading speed. The research question is: “Is reading harder than identifying colors?” In order to investigate this problem, a quantitative study of the different levels of interference of reading or color identification in the Stroop test was conducted. Research has demonstrated that when forced to perform an automated task, such as read the word ‘green’, it is more difficult when the word is printed in an alternative color, such as red, than when it is the same color as the word with ...

Gender and Culture

Gender is a characteristic of differentiation, which helps us group humankind and other animals in specific groups. There are only two types of gender that are male and female gender. Having in mind that culture is the norms and values of an individual way of life. I will show the values of either gender and compare the conventional practices. Give the similarities thereafter, and show the stereotypes that may have been used to guide the practices of the gender in question; I will also discuss the responsibilities of each gender. Moreover, I will give my perspective on the validity ...

Question One

The supply and demand model makes use of the supply curve and demand curve to illustrate how equilibrium is determined in a competitive market. The wheat supply curve shows the quantities that farmers are willing to offer in the market at different prices. On the other hand, the wheat demand curve shows the amount of wheat that buyers are willing to purchase at different market prices. These curves are derived from their respective demand and supply schedules. The two curves can be plotted on the same graph to show the equilibrium price and quantity of wheat. The equilibrium price ...

DD Curve is the summarized relationship between Exchange Rate and Ouput Level which shows all the combinations of output and the exchange rate for which the output market is in short run equilibrium i.e (aggregate demand= aggregate output)

The above figure represents upward sloping DD Curve explaining the effect of movement in exchange rate on output level when both Domestic Price Levels(P) and Foreign Price Levels(P*) are fixed. The figure represents the effect of depreciation of domestic currency on domestic output levels and related aggregate demand. Thus, when domestic currency depreciates ...

According to Bryant Thomson, priming is a process that occurs when one’s exposure to mediated communication activates some related thoughts that were previously stored in his or her mind. Messages passed through the media, for example in terms of adverts often trigger thoughts, concepts, learning or even knowledge that has been leant in the past and that is related to the message content. This process is what constitutes “priming” and in addition to just activating related thoughts and concepts, it can also influence behavior. This paper seeks to explore this concept by using an example of a media advert ...

The comparative advantage is a theory that explains how the world economy is affected by availability of productive resources within a country. It is simply the situation where a country cannot provide everything for itself hence import them from the other countries that have the required resources in large amount. Therefore, it gave rise to the opportunity cost, which is among the fundamental aspects of production. This means that when the opportunity cost is low the country is said to have a comparative advantages in the production sector.

There is an assumption that the comparative advantage of a country takes place in a one-factor economy. ...

Nobody hates looking at women’s funny character in movies. Something that mulvey well put across. The conditions of watching a move in the cinema gives authority to a voyeuristic spectatorship. All spectators are chirping characters taking pleasure and watching others while they remain unseen. In other fields, feminists have identified voyeurism as violence that is because of gender. The chirping character is most often a man-watching female without her knowledge. Most of the funny erotic scenes, you find a woman fully exposing her body and private parts but never will you find a man doing so. The power of the man’s look ...

Johnson, Renee and Cottler (2002) sought to understand the various factors that influence the rate at which African American women are susceptible to HIV AIDS. They claim that the disease has adverse effects on the African American community, especially on women where the women comprise of over two thirds of all the women affected by the disease. The study is done to test the hypothesis that women engaged in risky sexual behaviors are more at risk of having the full tripartite of risk factors such as violence, drugs and depression, than thaeir counterparts who have no risky sexual behaviors.

Venn diagram provides a method for solving logic diagrams for complex mathematical problems. Venn diagrams are useful in visualization of mathematical problems that involve classification or belonging to a group (Johnson & Mowry, 2008). They help in finding intersection of set and unions of sets. For example, John and Joel owns 20 companies, if john owns 8 companies and Joel owns 5 companies, while they own the rest jointly. This can be represented in a Venn diagram as below.

The intersection of the Venn diagram shows that they jointly own 7 companies. Moreover, improves understanding of the problem, and it is easy ...

Pornography is, ironically, one of the messier topics related to women and gender issues to discuss; the existence of pornography has a tendency to divide those within the gender studies community. Is it a symbol of the objectifying, male-dominated, sex-focused culture in which we live, or is it an opportunity for women to express their sexuality and take ownership of their bodies? Pornography is a much more diverse industry than one might expect, with varying companies and individuals creating and distributing it in different ways, making it a mistake to discuss porn as a monolith. Instead, the complex intersection of feminism and pornography must ...

Simplex method is an algorithm for solving linear programming optimization problem by sorting the vertices of a convex polyhedron in a multidimensional space. Linear programming problem is that it is necessary to maximize or minimize a linear functional on a multidimensional space for a given linear constraints.

The sequence of calculations simplex method can be divided into two main phases:

- finding the original vertices of the set of feasible solutions, - gradual transition from one vertex to another, leading to the optimization of the objective function. Thus in some cases, the initial solution is obviously its definition or does not require complex calculations, for example, when all the constraints are represented by inequalities of ...

In many great companies, the Level 5 leader has been found to be the most important factor for the company’s factor. It is not because they are able to do a great job themselves.

When gender and race are combined in the life of a black woman, they result to racism, objectification, and sexism from medical professionals. A combination of these factors seems negatively to affect black women.

A citizen guide to keeping Fort Worth beautiful.

If I see other signs in the street, or on a pole, does that mean I can put mine out? NO WAY! Two wrongs don’t make it right. The city removes more than 30,000 illegal signs from public streets every year. As part of the removal process, the City issues criminal citations and can pursue civil penalties of up to $500 per sign.

Why does the city prohibit these types of signs?

These signs create traffic hazards that block the vision of pedestrians and drivers, confuse/obscure official signs and controls, and damage mowing. Equipment and most often become litter that blights our neighborhoods. Tape, nails ...

The population of Spanish speakers in America is growing, increasingly interacting with English-speaking populations to contribute to the expanding cultural melting pot of this country. Hybrid languages often result from this clash of cultures, and one that is rising in prominence and usage is ‘Spanglish’, a combination of Spanish and English that is being found increasingly in different Hispanic American communities (Alvarez 483). Because of the greater exposure Latin-American writers and people are receiving through popular culture and media, Spanglish is becoming more well known all throughout America (Morales 2002). As this hybrid language grows in usage, people wonder if ...

Intersectionality is one of the woman’s libbers and the most propagative conception of the critical race theory. Women of color formations are compelled to address Intersectionality and the mutual and complex interactions of race, class, gender and sexuality (Lowe & Lloyd, 1997, p.310). Many feminists debate that a kind consideration of intersectionality is an important element to gain equality in politics and community, and also to improve the autonomous system.

Walter Benjamin’s two pieces of analysis, The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction and Little History of Photography, appear to be arguing for the utility of new forms of technology as well as stimulating new investigations into the intersection of technology and art. The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction dives even handedly into an investigation of how photography and film are slowly usurping the roles of painting and still life. In terms of devaluation, photography and especially film is taking the foundations of culture and turning them into caricatures; turning them ...

Red light cameras have a few detriments that debar it from being the substitute of reducing any threat in the transport system precisely at the road intersections where there are traffic light control systems. The system is such complicated and has a lot of slips and could lead to exposure of impending danger to the drivers. The policy of banning the use of red light cameras is recommendable and would reduce chances of causing more collision. It also expose the driver to fear of breaking the law hence he or she loses the concentration. Lose of concentration leads to unexpected accidents ...
