Social media technology played a pivot role of support to protesters in Egypt, Iraq, and Tunisia. I had discussed and described the issues in a report titled ‘Arab Springs’ hoping it would support the cause of protesters. Arab Spring had an excellent use with Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube in the mission. User-friendly approaches made active users to come together for organizing protests in humongous volumes. Cutting across language barriers voice from different languages got translated through ‘transliteration’ technology to reach across the world.

David Meyer defines social movement (SM) as the “organized challenges to authorities that use a broad range of tactics, both inside and outside of conventional politics, in an effort to promote social and political change” (30). While many of social movements fail to attain its immediate goal, Meyer believes that they can “lastingly change political debates, governmental institutions and the wider culture” (31). In particular, social movements can “influence public policy, at least by bringing attention to their issues” (32) and it can also “alter not only the substance of policy, but also how policy is made” (33) through the ...

Introduction

In the early years of development, activism was a chaotic event characterized by violence, injuries, and deaths. It was hard for people to take up action against something since a lot of people lacked full details of the campaign. One great event that required a high campaign turnout was the black revolution in America. It took several years for the African Americans to change from slaves to free men who had equal rights with the white Americans. The continued activism started in the mid-19th century and went as far as a mid-20th century. The same case applies to other areas like South Africa. ...

1. What is the role of private brands in a product portfolio dominated by national brands? Should a retailer like Migros attempts to change customer preferences in the direction of private brands, or simply stock what customers prefer to purchase?

Secondly, since they are offered only in specific stores, private brands help to differentiate product offering, to build customer loyalty and to attract more clients, thus increasing both the sales of private and national brands.

Introduction
In the late 1820’s, the Northern Carolina became more industrialized as the Southern remained non-developed. The Congress had passed a high protective tariff in 1828 that made the southern states more furious because they thought the tariff only benefited the northern states. The southern claimed that high tariff on imports were imposed to them leading to increased costs of importing products. Bradley Hays saw the Southern states sympathy to South Carolina’s position on the tariff rejected as the cause of federalism (Hays 221). Eventually, the doctrine of nullification was introduced that provided an insight to the ...

Morton Grodzins, The American System as a Single Mechanism, 1966

In the view of author, the US government is involved in complexity due to the involvement of all three layers of government in all the functions.

ABSTRACT.

Teaching involves leadership in guiding students and taking actions that create a motivating environment. Amongst the challenges faced by teachers are facing unmotivated students and developing positive attitude towards their stay in school and success, in learning. Sometimes it becomes hard for these teachers to identify the unmotivated learners and the reasons behind their lack of motivation. Assisting an unmotivated student may not perfect the student to A+ grades but may improve on their efforts towards learning and develop positivity in attitude. As much as it is the teacher’s responsibility to motivate learners, parents and principals play a critical part ...

James Walvin in his article “A taste of empire” examines the role colonization played in the localization of activities such as tea drinking, tobacco smoking, and chocolate consumption into British culture. “Yet, each and many more of these habits is only British by adoption.

Walvin states that tea started out as a primarily luxurious commodity only meant for the elite but with time grew to form a core part of every Briton’s ...

Connective tissue growth factor induces collagen I expression in human lung fibroblasts through the Rac1/MLK3/JNK/AP-1 pathway

Many lung inflammatory diseases present pulmonary fibrosis as one of the symptoms, which is characterized by shortness of breath, chronic coughing and discomfort in the chest. It causes modifications of the lung tissues due to overgrowth, hardening and scarring. This occurs mainly due to deposition of collagen, an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein, whose turnover is regulated by fibroblast. Fibroblast is an important cell regulator that is enlisted by a site of injury. This process is driven by release of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), platelet-derived growth factor, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-8/CXCL8.
Previously, fibroblast was thought to express no or very ...

In ideal terms, one’s response to this debate should be straightforward: the principle of self-determination would seem to be at the heart of the notions of freedom and democracy, and, therefore, in principle, every group that claims to be a nation should, in principle, be allowed to have their own state, but the real world is far messier than the ideal. There are distinct problems with allowing this principle to be exercised across the globe, and, because each call for nationhood occurs in a slightly (sometimes radically) different context, there can be no single solution which can be applied across ...
