Cornell University, Country in Arial 9 Roxanne Grenier North America Abstract As of 2014, 38 million people worldwide have been driven out of their own homes by internal instabilities, armed conflict, and outbreaks of violence. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) alone accounts for 2.8 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). In response, relief-driven charitable practices have consequently created a condition of permanent impermanence, perpetuating the problem of dependency, unemployment, and instability. This forced movement of culturally and geographically heterogeneous groups evokes questions of housing stability: How does migration impact the social, economic, and political standing of the refugees? Given ...

Introduction

Cruciate ligaments are arranged like the letter X hence they are also called cruciform ligaments. The ligaments are primarily found on the knee and function in not only stabilizing the joint but also in allowing a wide range of motion. In the knee, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligaments (PCL) criss-cross to form the cruciate ligament. The two ligaments are strong round bands that extend from head of the tibia to the intercondyloid notch of the femur (Margheritini, 2011). The anterior cruciate ligament lies lateral and crosses the medial posterior cruciate ligament like the limbs ...

Some maintain that it is primarily due to genetics, while others assert that the environment plays a major role in developing a person’s characteristics. This debate is also known in some circles as the ‘nature vs nurture’ debate, and given the scientific merits of each side, it can be said that each point of view can be considered probable in determining the quality of an individual. As it turns out, recent research suggests that both, ...

Introduction

Learning a foreign language is a slow and progressive effort which requires constant and responsible practice. Independent study is absolutely necessary for progress, and the hours spent in the classroom are not nearly enough in order to achieve fluency. This is particularly true for languages which are considered difficult to master, such as Mandarin. In recent years, Mandarin has become one of the most important foreign languages studied in schools throughout the United States of America. Mastering Mandarin challenges students to a great extent, even though many of them choose to study this language. Consequently, many teachers use the ...

The Relevance of the Common Law to the New Zealand Legal System The legal system of New Zealand comprises legal principles obtained from the English 'common law', legislation or precedent which comes from the amassed and compiled court decisions or resolutions. Constitutional guidelines which are embedded in the common law involve specific civil rights, like the right to freedom of expression, including the Governor-General's specific powers and the majority rule in the parliament system (Gearey, Morrison, & Jago, 2013). Similar to England, the rule of parliamentary sovereignty is firmly institutionalized and Parliament in consequence has the authority to overrule or ...

The theme of a ‘utopia’ – a place which is normally defined as the ideal state or place to live, is something which has captured the minds of writers and philosophers for centuries. The word ‘utopia’ itself is something of a word-play – in Greek, the word as sounded could mean either ευ-τοπος (good-place) or ου-τοπος (no-place), and the debate over which interpretation is correct is something which has lasted for almost as long as the concept of utopia itself! Plato’s Republic is a book which delineates in fine detail the republic that Plato has envisaged for his countrymen, detailing ...

2A. Appraising Quantitative and Qualitative Research

Quantitative Study One source of bias during data collection is the use of self-report data (Polit & Beck 2012). Chivers et al. (2001) obtained data through the SF-36 and Beck depression inventory which required the patients to answer questionnaires. If they failed to give accurate answers, it would have affected the validity of the findings. The study design also allowed patients to receive other clinically appropriate treatments that were beyond the study protocol (Chivers et al. 2001). Additional treatments are confounding variables but their influence on the study outcomes was not estimated in the statistical analysis. This reduces confidence in ...

Introduction

The Chinese real estate market is currently experiencing a bubble in growth as investors rush to acquire real estate property both within and outside the country. As such, there is a need for effective communication platforms to facilitate the frequent talks and negotiations between China and other countries to take care of the increasing numbers of Chinese investors who want to purchase or invest in real estate properties overseas. In most cases, these negotiations crumble because of the lack of understanding as the buyer and the seller speak two different languages, hence a communication malfunction (Bogucki & Deckert, 2012).

Cross-cultural Communication In the book's Preface, Tannen states: "all communication is more or less cross-cultural." (Tannen) What does she mean by this statement? This point has to be made because challenges arise in communication when there is more than one culture involved. In the communication process, culture differences are an issue during encoding and decoding. The challenge for the sender is to develop a message in forms that can be decoded successfully by the receiver without losing or misunderstanding the content and meaning of the message. The forms of communication like language and non-verbal communication are ...

Paul, as a theologian, developed key concepts that continue to define doctrine and 

practice for Christians and the Church. In the Epistles Paul emphasized and clarified the issue of salvation.  Mainly, it can be seen in Romans, where he showed us that way salvation may be found through  justification, sanctification, and glorification. When speaking about definition of salvation, then according to the Bible dictionary it is: the application of the work of Jesus Christ to the life of people.

Paul sees Lord as righteous and understands that humans are unholy, which is the 

cause he gives us a way through salvation in three abovementioned aspects:

We are justified through Jesus by faith.

We are sanctified through liberation from sin. We will be glorified one day and we will live with Him in heaven. ...

The errors during the manual calculation of scores can lead to false interpretation whereas the prevalence of construct validity is also required to incorporate the consistent level ...

Colorectal cancer can be treated to remission when it is detected early. This underscores the importance of screening for colorectal cancer (Miller et al., 2011). There is an increased incentive for screening for colorectal cancer considering that colorectal cancer ranks fourth among the top causes death for non-cutaneous cancers and an even higher second rank when all cancers are considered. Even with these incentives for compliance with screening protocols, Miller et al., (2011) finds that the compliance rates are still low and attributes it to several factors. These findings that are corroborated by Hernandez, Chowdhury, Fleming & Griffith, (2011) who ...

John declared and proclaimed that he loved Jesus more than any of his brothers of the discipleship. ...

Individual Reaction to the Advent of Artificial Intelligence

Introduction Through advancements in science and technology, human beings have managed to create machines that work more or less in the same way as the human brain, performing tasks like mathematical calculations and language translations. This is what has come to be known as Artificial intelligence (AI) which is the kind of intelligence that machines exhibit when certain manipulations and programming is done to them. Some of these machines like the IBM computer, Watson, are capable of mimicking or performing certain cognitive functions that are normally associated with the human brain only. Artificial intelligence research thus deals with problems ...

The film “Lost in Translation” is really about the difficulties in translation, but not so much in the linguistic sense, as in the human, - translation of others’ feelings ("Lost In Translation (2003)"). The film is not so much the words as the information, the mood and emotions are not concluded just in words. This is perhaps one of the few movies, where the characters’ silence can be comfortable and talk about many things. A slow, as it might seem, dragged action is not the lack of pictures – that's the essence of the whole atmosphere of loneliness – the characters ...
