The paper will also evaluate a comparative analysis on the impact of war the international security if ISIS wins ...

The British novelist, critic and essayist Virginia Stephen Woolf is considered one of the most authentic writers of England in the period between the First and the Second World Wars. Being discontented with the novels on the basis of the well-known, actual and apparent, Woolf went on her own experimental way. Walking along this path, the writer discovered a more internal, subjective interpretation of life experience, which is reflected in all of her creative works. It is also worth mentioning about the impact of such famous people such as Henry James, Marcel Proust and James Joyce on her work. ...

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 ...

The Main Features of Introverts' behavior in the social environment

As is known, introversion is one of the most common categories or indicators to measure personality traits. Introverts are people whose personality traits are very different from those of other people, who can also be called extroverts. Introverts tend to accumulate their energy and direct it to their inner world, while extroverts waste their energy on the interaction with the outside world. If an extrovert needs a constant dialogue with the people, an introvert can successfully do without it. An introvert is capable of minimal contact, which is also necessary, but it happens rarely and only in the companies ...

Application of strain theory to the criminal case for Beverly Allitt

Background information on Beverly Allitt

Beverly Allitt is a British female nurse convicted of murder and attempted murder charges in May 1993 after killing four babies and attempting to kill nine others (Marks & Richmond 2008). Her early life demonstrated incidences of attention-seeking through unconventional means such as causing injury to others or feigning illnesses. The height of her pretence was witnessed when she caused the surgical removal of her otherwise perfectly functioning appendix which she insisted was interfering with the healing of a scar she had self-inflicted. On occasions, she would tie a ...

A Logical Experiment?

Thesis

In their article, Costa and Kahn explore the possible incentives that American men had to join the army during the civil war when pay was low and death or injury was certain. They determined that the Union army promoted social capital and group loyalty that not only attracted men to join in the Civil War but also encouraged them to reenlist once their term was over.

The paper spends a great deal of time noting that while every organization faces issues that can be mitigated, soldiers who fought in the Civil War faced a number of ...

Terrorism can be simply defined as the use of fear by whatever means to achieve a political objective and therefore includes not only the violence and bombings but also other areas such as cyber terrorism. Following this definition then terrorism can be traced throughout human history with numerous theories used to explore their formation and networking. Due the prevalence of Radical Islamic terrorism in the recent years, a closer examination is necessary to determine the growth and development of these networks. Therefore, in this paper, we shall explore the cold war terrorist networking theory with a comparison with the ...

The purpose of this paper is to present a critique on a systemic review article on the topic of emergency department crowding and patient outcome (Carter, Pouch & Larson, 2014). The problem addressed by the article is the global increase in Emergency Department. Crowding in the Emergency Department is well-known to be associated with poor care processes such as timeliness of care and diversion of ambulances (Johnson & Winkelman, 2011; Kennebeck, Timm, Kurowski, Byczkowski, & Reeves, 2011). The review article sought to focus on another facet of Emergency Room crowding and that was patient outcome. The research question of the relationship of ...

Response to Kayla:

Parents and caregivers who intentionally make children sick pursuing their specific goals definitely deserve punishment by the law, but it is a serious question what form this punishment should have. I share the opinion of Kayla and suggest their sending to a mental hospital for the major part of their lives. Furthermore, I want to add that the mental hospital should be closed, and any contacts with the outer world should be controlled. The closed mental hospital could be the severer punishment than prison, as it is almost for life, not just for several years. It is often hard ...

Racism is not an uncommon problem for the United States. Due to the history of the country, and the fact that it was built, partially, by the slave labor, it’s hard to escape from the past. Even though nowadays minorities have it better and there is no more slavery nor segregation, a heavy prejudice against them is still here. Apart from blunt, straightforward racism, it also can take more subtle forms. Those forms in question are racial profiling and affirmative action. Though many people are proponents of one and opponents of second (or vice versa), they’re not ...

INTRODUCTION

The United States and the then Soviet Socialist Republic, or USSR, had always had ideological differences underlining their relations. The US has always been the world’s champion of democratic ideals, while the USSR promoted the socialist ideology. In World War II, however, the two countries set aside their differences and formed an alliance with other countries to fight a common enemy: the Axis Powers that included Germany, Japan and Italy. The defeat of the Axis Powers resulted in power vacuums, which the two countries immediately tried to fill, thereby, resulting in a contest of superpowers. Suspicions of each ...

Receiving education is a costly choice. There are costs to education in terms of direct monetary payments and an opportunity costs. The choice to go to school means forgoing waged employment. Therefore, there is an opportunity costs of the wages that would have been earned. Therefore, there is a need to compare the returns versus the cost of education to make optimal decisions. Estimating the returns to education for any population segment is useful in making decisions on the optimal schooling level at both a personal as well as societal level. From a policy standpoint, estimating returns to education ...

In the midst of the Cold War era, both the U.S and U.S.S.R engaged one another in proxy wars in regions throughout the world to further their respective expansionist national agendas while counteracting the geo-political influence of one another. Proxy wars are conflicts contained within third party nations or regions which are instigated by the influence of major geopolitical powers who do not themselves become directly involved in the conflict. Thus, proxy wars are facilitated by major powers to preserve and expand their geopolitical influence through promoting or opposing certain armed factions within a regional conflict which in turn ...

The Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a common ailment that has been evident for some time now. However, it is a syndrome that is not clearly understood as the scientist is still doing more research on it. To be precise, the syndrome is just but a little behavior pattern that is propagated by a caregiver to the dependent. It occurs in such a way that a spouse either exaggerates or fabricates and induces some form of mental or physical health to those that they care for. Researchers have discovered that parents do this with the primary objective of either ...

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) We decided to use the ASX100 for the CAPM model and the main benchmark of our portfolio report. The ASX100 presents the large Australian companies and we believe that the ASX100 is a valid proxy of our frameworks. As Adjusted R Square in Table 1 show, most of the stock returns are expounded by the market return. The Beats in the table below are presented by a significantly low p-value. The beat of the stock presents the sensitivity of that store return to the market return. The CAPM model demonstrates that the Australia New ...

Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSbP) is a mental health disorder that involves a caretaker causing illness or injury to an individual under his or her care, for example, a child, elderly adult, or physically challenged people. MSBP disorder is relatively rare and its name is credited to Baron von Munchausen, a German dignitary who existed in the 18th-century, and was famous for creating stories of his expeditions to gain attention. The last two initials, B.P. (By Proxy), imply that the parent or care giver is feigning and fabricating symptoms in a child. The problem of MSBP is classified as ...

In the Jewish State of Israel, politics and prophecy generally work together. Israel was founded when there was a covenant between God and Abraham. In this covenant, God entered into a relationship of mutual obligation with the Israelites instead of him solely imposing his will. This covenant was not only related to religion but was binding in politics and law. God himself is the King, but He exercises his kingship on earth through his chosen proxies. In the case of Israel, there exist three religious institutions which were led by people who had been divinely endorsed namely the Prophet, ...

The twenty-first century continues to be underlined by war and terrorism. The history of humanity seems to stick to the war narrative. Numerous conflicts and wars have been witnessed from different places around the world. One of the most dominant conflicts within the mainstream media is that of Syria. The country has been at war for the last five years following the violence that was used to quell democracy protests in 2012. The war was as a result of protests all over the country in rebellion against the leadership of President Assad. The conflict has resulted in the death ...

The DBIR 2015 is the ninth one from Verizon, and similar to the others, it highlights patterns and trends present in an aggregated incident data set. The report begins by emphasizing that there are few unique breaches in the cyber-world, and that the likelihood that an intrusion mechanism has been applied previously is relatively high. Furtherance, the DBIR informs against the presumption that victims of data breach believe they are in isolation; it is this falsehood that impedes on information sharing on attack patterns, which could collectively help prevent future intrusions. Verizon has managed to develop a classification for ...

Introduction

The economic power in current global ecosystem has assumed more significance compared to conventional use of military power. The world has become increasingly flat and hence economic influence is becoming more impactful. On an upside, economic influence can be used to promote bilateral and/or multilateral economic relations between nations. On a downside, economic influence can be used to promote specific political, social and, of course, military goals. This is called, for current purposes, economic terrorism. By coercing nations into specific actions – or, for that matter, intimidating nations to backtrack from specific actions – coercive powers (state actors, non-state actors or ...

Quite often, America's entry into World War Two has been attributed to the Pearl Harbor attack by Japan in 1941. While that is the case, the background to Japan's attack is what drew America into the war with the Pearl Harbor attack being a mere pretext. From the onset of the war, America's policy was to maintain neutrality as envisaged by the new Neutrality Act of 1937 (Chambers, 100). By default, the Neutrality Act served to embolden Germany's quest for domination of Europe. That is because America's non-involvement made it easier for Germany to attack France and Britain. America's ...

Abstract

This paper puts the legal and ethical issues of physician-assisted suicide in the context of the larger debate on privacy and the right to die, which can be divided into three constituent parts: (1) a patient’s constitutionally protected right to privacy in all matters involving end-of-life treatment decisions. So long as a patient has the mental capacity to make informed consent, the government does not have a legitimate interest to override end-of-life decisions. Critical to the analysis of a patient’s refusal of life-sustaining treatment is the burden of the state to prove a patient did not have ...

Cold War Ideology and Third World Conflict The Cold War was an ideological, political and military (proxy wars) between the United States and the Soviet Union. It has been termed ‘Cold’ War as there were no large scale wars between the two countries but their battles were instead fought through other countries in different parts of the world. The main reason for the conflict was ideological-between the capitalist United States and the Communist Soviet Union. However it can also be said that the cold war was a result of the race for resources and market domination. Although there are ...

The Vietnam War is one of the most controversial and complicated military actions in American history, a confluence of a number of factors that stemmed from post-World War II ideas about America’s place in the world, its relationship with Communism and the Soviet Union, and the increasing presence of the news media in the field of battle. In the Cold War following World War II, in which America turned its attention (and its weapons) to the cultural and ideological threat of Communism. However, the staggering defeats US military forces experienced, combined with the malaise and resistance provided by ...

[Pivotal Concepts of CAPM]

Introduction

No matter the attractiveness of an investment, an investor must always be ready for risks arising. In which case, it is always impossible to do away with entire risk. The only an investor can manage the impact of this risks is by coming up with an investment that yields a rate of return that can cover the risks. This would help in covering the investors whenever they take on risk. As the result, the need for a capital asset pricing model (CAPM) sets in as an important tool for the investors. The CAPM helps in ...

Robots are used predominantly in industry. More and more companies are making their production lines automated by the usage of programmed robots. This trend of using robots started way back in 1960s and 1970s and gained popularity in the subsequent decades. Education was one area which was not touched by robotic technology until 10-15 years back. The strong belief was that a robot could not enhance the learning process. In fact introducing a robot in the learning process might make it more mechanical than creative. However, perceptions have changed in the last few years and education field is seeing more and more ...

Network security is a significant aspect when managing network. There are issues that should be put in place in order to have security over a network. One of the significant components that are of great use is firewalls. Firewalls provide a great tool that network administrators use to secure their networks.

As per a health report, around 5 people in United States die every day waiting for organ to be transplanted. The Health Care department is concerned with the shortage of organs and increasing demand on the other hand. At present, around 100,000 patients are in the waiting list for a donated organ which includes, kidney, hearts, liver and intestines. Furthermore, as the population grows older and with increasing health care issues in US populations, this scarcity and pressure seems to grow as waiting lists are growing at much higher rate than the supply of organs.

Causes of conflict

Conflict management system can manage conflict and channel it into constructive areas. Many natural resources have strong emotive ties for people relating to their identity, homeland and property, but they are also extremely valuable, tradable and easily lost. Much of the worlds mineral wealth is exploited in places where poverty is widespread and where conflict has been a feature of society. Experience suggests that mining impacts can become politicized and can lead to conflicts. The Kennedy School of government at Harvard University (2008) describe conflict as both inevitable and avoidable, and considers that a level of suspicion and questioning generally ...

Introduction

Big enterprises such as Google use some monitoring system, which according to Caskey Dickson are not effective because they are outdated. Monitoring is used in various operations such as quality assurance, product management, operation health and capacity planning. Google use monitoring because the enterprise has large quantities of relatively high-resolution data that need to be motored firmly. Caskey Dickson observed that the initial Google monitoring system was not efficient. In this respect, he created a metrics at a comparatively minimum level of abstraction together with raw counters and some attributes (Caskey, 2009). According to Caskey, metrics must be brought together ...

Mergers are a common occurrence in healthcare. The ultimate goal of this is to create more value through a greater share in the market, increased productivity at lesser operational costs, lesser taxes or cross selling (Terjesen, 2009). Mergers can be friendly or hostile; the former is welcomed while the latter is often met with resistance by the management of the company to be acquired. In the process, hard (financial) and soft (culture and human resource) issues need to be addressed. Studies note that a majority of mergers are unsuccessful in the sense that no real value is created. This is because inadequate ...

The law of comparative advantage has, for a long time, been used as the basis of international trade.

International trade currently accounts for about 25% of the worlds GDP, thanks to the liberalization of trade and the increase in foreign direct investment. Countries and companies trade with each other because of the gains or benefits that accrue from the exchange of goods and services to the trading countries. According to the law of comparative advantage, countries should produce the goods in ...

Abstract

Early ambulation is now recognised as an intervention that confers many positive benefits to patients following cardiac surgery. However, there is lack of clarity as to the optimum time for the patient to perform early ambulation. A focused question was developed to ascertain whether early ambulation within 24 hours after extubation is more effective compared to ambulation 24 hours or more following extubation. The clinical question guided the search and retrieval of 6 studies that were subsequently appraised. There are benefits and many limitations of the chosen studies and do not provide sufficient evidence to answer the clinical question ...

Abstract

There is an increased case of terrorist activities in the world in the past decades. The results of such attacks have been tremendous as the case in America 2001, and Kenya 1998 both of which targeted American citizens. Due to this, there is an increase in the war against terror in the world. There are laws in different countries aimed at deterring the occurrence of the terrorist activities, but this does not seem to work. It thus led to strict actions that have been criticized strongly by human rights bodies as amnesty international, human rights watch, among others. This ...
