Project de-escalation refers to closing a project before completion. There exist signs which warn managers on the need for project de-escalation.

Second is the change in the general mood of the project’s management. When project managers face hurdles which may necessitate de-escalation, they will most ...

When unpacking poetry, readers should make themselves aware of the multiple denotations words may have, especially words that feel very familiar. Robert Herrick’s “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” stands as a perfect example of why this practice is crucial in gaining the entire meaning of a poem. After realizing how the words “rosebuds” and “flower” potentially mean more than just their botanical connotations, the reader discovers a deeper understanding of the poem, noticing a shift in the speaker’s audience, the poem’s tone, and the speaker’s character. Ultimately, the poem reveals itself to ...

Self-awareness and Empathy. Awareness of another person is accompanied by an emotional assessment of the person, an attempt to understand things, predict changes in behavior and model their own behavior. Since this process involves at least two people, and each is an active subject, each should consider not only another person's needs and motives but also the way that person understands the needs and motives of the partner in the construction of strategies of interaction. Thus, self-awareness and empathy are the key conditions for teamwork and interpersonal communication. In this case, one needs to understand the very essence emotional ...

Interestingly, there are no any scenes or objects on the background, it is just a brown wall, possibly wooden, as it becomes obvious from the texture. Thus, the painting reminds a close ...

Introduction

The nature of "The Cherry Orchard", in terms of the genre has always been controversial. Often the play is defined as a "tragicomedy", or an "an ironic tragicomedy." However, it is vital to understand what genre the play is as it defines the code of reading the play and the characters. What does it mean to see elements of tragedy in the play? This would mean to a certain extent agree with the characters’ originality, their sincere and true suffering. However, it is impossible to see any strong trait in characters that are "weak-willed", "aching", "whining", and have "lost ...

I have a friend back in my homeland who I talk to, almost every week, through Facebook Chat. She is my childhood friend. We grew up in the same street.

Heralded as one of the wonders of the art world, Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa has inspired artists and sparked debates for centuries. At a price point of about $787 million, one must wonder if this incredible price point is due to the ongoing mystery of what lies behind Mona Lisa’s smile. It is reported that Da Vinci played music for Mona Lisa while he painted her, however the validity of this is up for debate, much like the cause for the expression on her face. It is my personal opinion that the slight smile was due to ...

I was lucky enough to find myself having fun with people who were complete strangers to me not one month ago, and despite that I was always losing willingness to make a journey to a city which was new with people who were unknown, I found that outside of my comfort zone was exactly where the most beautiful part of the world existed and thrived. That fine Tuesday, the sun had lost its fiery and the hot summer noon had eased into a calm evening in the scorching desert sand and all around me, people were talking and cheering. ...

The term ‘macro-environment’ refers to the set of forces that influence the functioning of all the businesses at the market (Dibb and Simkin, 2008, p.26). In political terms, the fragrance market is likely to be impacted by the major trends in international relations (e.g., the conclusion of international agreements, openings and closings of markets). Similar, given the fact that the Middle Eastern producers of fragrances tend to export them to the markets of other countries, the state of the economic relations between the Middle Eastern countries and the rest of the world is highly important for exporters. Moreover, the ...

Field Experience: A School Psychologist Interview

I interviewed a licensed school psychologist, which told me a few interesting things useful for me and my future professional practice. A psychologist plays a special role in special education working with the client because he represents a person with strong experience and views. In this sense, people need help in order to set goals in business and work, and in relationships. Unfortunately, they begin to take care of themselves only when the situation becomes critical. Thus, a psychologist has to consider consciously what happens in relationships and family, and resolve problems of people with special needs. A psychologisthas ...

Theater Studies

The event I attended was a theatrical performance of, “Little Shop of Horrors.” It was, of course, off Broadway and with amateur actors, but still worth mentioning, as it was very good and did the piece justice. The space itself left something to be desired; it was small and at times seemed to be poorly lit. This could have been to set the mood, primarily during musical numbers. However, any efforts made to potentially set the mood with light were misguided. The space was dim, and left me squinting at the stage at times to make out what was ...

Based on advances in mind-body research and the practicality of self-kindness and mindfulness, self-compassion offers a new way of thinking about the practical strategies for ending chronic pain.

The management of chronic pain today incorporates both physical and psychological interventions because of the significance of self-compassion which relates to aspects such as acceptance of chronic pain, focus on individual strength, and lower levels of negative perception of the pain experience. A study in which an experimental vignette was used investigating the ...

Mental wellbeing has in the recent past attracted a lot of attention from stakeholders in the health industry after they noted that holistic caring of a patient must involve ensuring mental wellness. In the past, this section of healthcare was overlooked, as mental diseases were not considered ‘illnesses’ but were rather thought to be associated with witchcraft. As a result, any person exhibiting signs of mental illness was shunned and secluded from the community and family members, until he/she passed on. Mental healthcare has as a result lagged behind in terms of providing quality care services to affected patients. ...

Introduction

The World Health Organization (WHO) says that there are about 400 million people around the world who are currently suffering from a mental illness. If all types of mental illnesses are considered, then it is safe to say that about one in four people will suffer from a mental disorder at one point in their lives. Out of the many mental illnesses, there are some that inflict a severe toll on their sufferers, on their lives and on their families as well. The effects of mental illness can be devastating on a person. However, those with even the most ...

Mood disorder and substance abuse have a close relationship. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (2008), over 30 percent of those with mood disorder in the United States also have substance abuse disorder. As a therapist, it is never easy to identify and distinguish between those abusing substances as a self-medication towards mood disorder from those who suffer from the disorder as a result of drug abuse. According to the Nation Health Research, self-medication is common among most of the substance abusers (Harris et al. 2005). Theoretically, those who use substance abuse such as marijuana and alcohol ...

Cycle of communication within and between neurons

The understanding of the communication process between and within neurons or the nerve cells helps us to gain knowledge of the functioning of the human brain. Neurons gather information relating to an organism’s internal state as well as the external environment continuously and perform an evaluation of this information and the coordination of appropriate activities depending on the situation and person’s needs. Communication between and within neurons occur through the transmission of nerve impulses, which in essence are coded signals produced by certain stimulus along the neuronal membrane. Communication within neurons occurs through a chemical process whereby ...

Although the alcohol is a legal drug while the consumption of cannabis is illegal in many countries, alcoholism has enormous effects on the health and the life of the consumer. Lewis et al.

In the 1970s, domestic violence came into view when feminist groups revealed the complicity in women to be compliant, even with men lifting their hand against them. Women who were maltreated were given refuge under the women’s movement, while health and social workers were being trained on how to handle women who were maltreated. By the 1980s, international organizations had declarations defining violence against women and children as “an unacceptable violation of human rights [and] a source of tragic consequences” (Romito, 2008, p.1). This, however, may have proven to be fragile, especially in certain parts of Europe wherein ...

Insomnia

Introduction Insomnia is the condition in which sleep disorder takes place and reduces the tendency to fall sleep. It also effects the duration that an individual is required to stay asleep in order to stay healthy. This condition occurs due to the daytime sleepiness, anxiety and depressed mood.

It is observed that the occurrence of insomnia can range from short-term, long-term and periodic basis, and can result in life threatening situations if it is left untreated (Bonnet & Arand, ...

I have often thought critical thinking is simply my opinion, or generating ideas and opinion through mental exercise, i.e. I can do critical thinking without external help or interaction. Yet, it is so different, because as I searched the literature and in studying in this course, I found that critical thinking involves the individual’s ability to use the mind actively to sense the surrounding environment and realize opportunities and potential hazards by generating innovative ideas (Ruggiero, 2009 as cited in Bruning, 2016). Critical thinking needs knowledge, and knowledge is learned and experienced. Precisely, critical thinking is borne out ...

The latter deals with the situation as if something was stolen from them, in which case, the construction of Stairway’s opening part. On the other hand, Led Zeppelin’s attorney claimed that ...

Depression among Young Individuals: Qualitative Data Analysis

Research Aim The current research aims at exploring the outcomes of depression among individuals.

First of all I would like to say that the United States of America is a free country and everybody is free in his/her choice. So, why students should be required to wear uniforms? Especially considering that fact that they are growing and developing human-beings, they need to do strange make-up, to wear some pieces of clothes which do not suit each other, but children are only finding necessary things and themselves. They need to express their feelings by cloths, their mood or their place in the world. For example, somebody wants to be a goth, and the school ...

1. The main difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is that the first type originates from outside of the person’s aspiration, i.e. somebody perform the action just for the sake of pleasure to do it. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation is explained by the aspiration to get a reward or to avoid punishment for an action. 2. Fear appeals to be effective in order to attract someone’s attention to something or someone suspicious or dangerous. From personal experience, I would say that the most effective examples of persuasion based on fear are warnings regarding health and ...

Such forces can include shifting levels of hormones, changing bodies and peer pressure. Depression has frequently been associated in the literature with higher levels of anxiety and stress in children, as well as higher incidence of suicide. Following will examine the question of childhood depression, ...

In 1872, the 22-year-old George Huntington presented a paper describing an elaborately outlined inheritance pattern of a disease, which during the time was referred to as "chorea." In his paper, which was presented at the Meigs and Mason Academy of Medicine at Ohio, George described all the features of the adult-onset form of the disorder and outlined the disease’s autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance. Although the mechanism underlying the inheritance pattern of the disease was not understood until the rediscovery of Mendel’s works, his paper was so comprehensive that George Huntington quickly became widely acclaimed. In fact, he ...
