However, in both cases, plagiarism represents an intellectual theft and thus, it is punishable. Plagiarism undermines one’s credibility and reputation, ...

Various safety models have been developed for use in understanding aspects of safety. These models include the Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) model, Construction Accident Causation model, and Accident Causation Management model. Each model focuses on a specific aspect of the safety process. The STAMP model focus on the interactions between system components while Accident Causation Management model focuses on the source of human errors. On the other hand, Construction Accident Causation model focus on the predictability of incidence occurrence. None of this can be used to understand and address all safety concerns.

Throughout history, there have been many great thinkers. They have sprawled among many disciplines, from philosophy to physics. Nevertheless, some of these have made important contributions to many fields at the same time. One of these cases is that of Blaise Pascal, who was deeply influential in mathematics, philosophy and theology. In a sense, one could say that these three disciplines were intertwined in his work. By studying the loftier aspects of the human experience, Pascal was able to bring together probability theory and his worries about the existence of God. As such, his notorious wager was a turning ...

Abstract

System theory forms the basis for the Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) (Leveson 2011), and other Accident Causation Models, such as the Accident Causation Management System discussed in Kwon et al. 2006, and the Construction Accident Causation Model discussed in Mitropoulos et al. 2005. These models are compared and contrasted especially with respect to how human behavior is accounted for in each. In addition, a case study is discussed using the STAMP method to demonstrate the basic principles of STAMP. Due to a recent accident and much discussion ...

Abstract

STPA (System-Theoretic Process Analysis), is a new hazard analysis technique designed to “eliminate or control scenarios” before they result in losses (Leveson 2011). STPA is based upon an analysis of loss of functional control of a process rather than on an analysis of failure of individual components. Therefore, the model that is used in STPA is a functional control diagram rather than a physical component diagram (Leveson 2011). STPA provides guidance to the users, as opposed to other hazard analyses. In addition, STPA can be used before a system ...

Question 1

With older electromechanical controls, the operator used to typically be located physically in closer proximity to the process, and therefore had direct sensory perception of the status of the process (e.g., sound, vibration, light) (Leveson 2011). Under computerized and digitalized controls, the operator no longer has a sensory perception of the status, other than what is viewed on the computer. This requires whomever is designing the control system to determine what information is important to the controller, and that the information provided in the feedback loop between the process and what is reported on the screen is complete and ...

The 19th century was a time of vast change for the entire world, from the birth of electronics to the publishing of On the Origin of Species to the rapid expansion of the world powers.

The first century of the Massachusetts Puritan colony and the three generations of people that lived in it take on a different view when seen through the perspective of sport in Puritan society at that time. As the article argues, the efforts made by historians to succinctly and sufficiently analyze the role of sport were hardly successful because of the personal bias and perspective of the sources historians relied on in their research. Taking the Puritan society in Massachusetts Bay as an example, the article suggests that sport can be used in order to observe the changes in institutional ...

Social movements are collective behaviors that are organized, purposeful, institutionalized, but their actions cannot be repeated.

The past analyses of social movements and social movement organizations have often been assumed to have a link with the frustrations and grievances of a collectivity of actors. The theoretical centrality of the analyses directs the socials movements away from its intense emphasis on the ...

Prison Design:

Prison design has to accommodate inmates by separating them with regards to the following two considerations: gender and degree of offenders. There can also be considerations on classifying and housing inmates according to their mental statuses. To successfully keep the society safe from medium criminals who are likely to get notorious, the prison will have two compartments that are designed differently. A radial design compartment will be used for inmates that show tendencies of risky behaviors. A campus design will serve for those inmates that are less harmful and expected to go back to the society (Waldron, 2014). Evidently, ...

No doubts, materials, and material engineering have remarkably advanced the world in unimaginable ways. One would wonder what the 21st-century world would have been without high tensile strength materials, the state of the art technologies employed in the construction of airplanes, ships, and cars, technologies in the construction of bridges structures, top notch houses, and towers, to mention a few. Nonetheless, these innovative technologies also bring alongside some concerns. This study evaluates these concerns as they relate to material engineering.

Question One: Quarantine and Isolation

In the early stages of the emergence of infectious diseases, isolation and quarantine are in most cases the only and last resort used to control effectively and manage the conditions (Al-Ateeg, 2004). These methods are usually handy when there is a limited knowledge of a newly identified or an occurrence of a previously contagious disease that poses a serious public threat. While these methods are used to respond to emerging and re-emerging public health threats and protecting the public by preventing the exposure of the population who have or may not have contracted a contagious disease, there are significant ...

Hence, in 1777, the Founding Fathers attempted a government based on the autonomy of the individual States by proposing the Articles of Confederation at the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia. The Articles came into effect in 1781when the States ratified them but by 1789, the ...
