The $9.9 million reduction in budget allocation makes one of the things that caught me by surprise. A closer analysis of the budget reveals that security/counter-terrorism grants have reduced dramatically from the 2013 values. The other most surprising thing is that the budget for communication was also reduced in 2014. Common knowledge would suggest an increased funding in communications and counter-terrorism programs. The capital program also surprised me since the department seems to have an elaborate ten-year plan that underfunded. Further, I was surprised to note that administration of the police department increased in budget allocation. The budget shows a ...

Introduction of the Research

Sign languages have two noticeably distinct types of morphological structure, one is sequential, and the other is simultaneous. Other than this there are two common sign languages being used, American and Israeli. Both of the languages fall in simultaneous morphology and are very similar, but when it comes to sequential morphology they differ, and are also derivational. There are different types of inflectional morphology that are discussed briefly in the paper. This research was also done to bring in the similarities between sign language and spoken languages all along; in 1970s and 1980s which are the starting days of ...

Literature Review:Resistance to Change

Literature Review: Resistance to Change
Introduction
This literature review covers three peer-reviewed articles concerning organizational change. The Mento et al. paper (2002) – intended as a guidance document for individuals leading such a change process – draws on three theoretical models of the organizational change process to produce a framework that also takes into account the actual change process existing in a major company. The Barnard & Stoll paper (2010) is itself a literature review, drawing on available evidence to look at the change management process. That paper also looks at existing research on sustainable change and concludes with suggested options for further research. Beer ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus, a main cause of worldwide AIDs, belongs to the Lentivirus genus of Retroviridae family. Pathogen causes chronic type of symptoms, taking a long time of latency it constantly keeps replicating inside human body. HIV is categorised into two types, HIV-1 and HIV-2. The genome of this retrovirus consists of two single-stranded RNA molecules. Though, both are involved in AIDS, HIV-2 seemed less virulent and demonstrated more frequent connections with the disease of central nervous system (Fanales-Belasio et al. 5).
Like other retroviruses, the genes located on HIV chromosome are gag, pol, env. The functions of gag, pol ...

Although both studies are informative, the qualitative information provided by Saint et al. (2010) appears to be more difficult to understand than the quantitative information provided by Daud-Gallotti et al. (2012), most likely because of the differences in the nature of the data. Because qualitative information contains descriptive personal opinions from the participants, I find it difficult to use it for determining clinical practices based on that information. For example, it is mentioned that successful leaders were inspirational, but that does not provide the reader with sufficient guidelines to become inspirational.
Quantitative information appears to be more objective, ...

Summary and Synthesis of the Article, “A Model of Scrolling of Touch Sensitive Displays”

Summary

The article, “A Model of Scrolling of Touch Sensitive Displays” essentially discusses the significance of conducting research on users’ behaviors while scrolling on touch sensitive displays. Zhao et. al. argue that although panning and flicking of touch sensitive displays are similar to traditional scrolling methods used on devices which do not possess touch sensitive displays, they, in essence, require a multi-step method that is not as simple as using indirect input techniques such as “rolling the mouse wheel or dragging the ...

SUMMARY ASSIGNMENT # 2: CONTEXTUALIZED SUMMARY

(Course Name and Number)
(Date Submitted)
Food safety issues pose important questions concerning risk management, as those constitute a major public concern on health and safety in food consumption. Understanding how risk management experts confront food safety issues requires a deeper understanding of the underlying literature, given the controversy arising from mismatching perceptions between consumers and experts. Such a discrepancy serves as an important point for clarifying the conduct of risk management on food safety issues, hence my choice of the article by Krystallis et al. (2007) entitled: A Perceptual Divide? Consumer and Expert Attitudes to Food Risk Management in ...

In this paper, I analyze three articles with a special focus on the following components: mechanism of action, therapy, treatment, side effects, contraindications and usefulness in practice.
The articles under review have been authored by Martin et al. (2006), Rebhorn et al. (2012) and Hutchinson et al. (2012). Hutchinson et al. (2012) conducted a systematic review in order to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture in the management of chronic non-specific low back pain. ...

The human brain is divided into two core parts; that is, the minor cerebral hemisphere and the major cerebral hemisphere. For proper functioning of the brain, the two hemispheres must have a mode of communication. The corpus callosum is a white material between these two hemispheres and through which the hemispheres do communicate. According to Sperry et.al (1969), lack of communication between these two hemispheres causes a definite level of commissural symptoms. However, the extent for which these symptoms occur is not well known. Remarkably, such symptoms are visible when the level, of brain activity is high (Sperry, 1982).
Then human ...

Parker et al. (2014) identifies dimensions a public policy on science and technology to enable development. Complex issues in the policy identify emerging issues to prepare and make plans. The scanning exercise uses modified Delphi technique to necessitate public engagement as the policies are developed. Some of the interest group in the policy includes academics, private sector, policy advisers, practitioners, and policy makers. The stakeholders in the policy prioritize issues in the areas of government, healthcare, national security, infrastructure, population, public safety, and technology. Parker et al. (2014) argue that an effective public policy on development will not only require ...

Their intention was to depict the role played by personal morals and emotions in encouraging or discouraging the vice of illegal downloading. According to Wang et al (2011, p.155), the authors hypothesised that a downloader who has previously engaged in illegal downloading may experience anticipated guilt because of their undesirable behaviour, and therefore will be less likely to engage in the same in future, unlike those who have had no illegal downloading experience. However, if the act of illegal downloading results in a positive experience for the downloader, in future this positive experience will override the anticipated guilt and thus will ...

Question being investigated

This study was aimed at testing the hypothesis that there is no close-paralleling of the raised rate of metabolism arising from contraction of muscles by hyperpnea, and thus arterial 02, pH, and C02 do not remain comparatively constant all through most of the moderate exercise range (Carli, et al., 1967). The alternative hypothesis was that a feed-forward mechanism is responsible for hyperpnea.

Importance of the question/publication

There is still uncertainty on the mechanism resulting in raised ventilation or hyperpnea, in the course of an exercise in spite of over a century of research, hypothesis, as well as debate. Due to the close link ...

Ethics in Counseling
Ethics is paramount in all aspects of professional and personal life. However, on the subject of counseling in which a professional interventionist would interact in close proximity with the client’s personal life, ethics is like a golden currency. In the article by LeBeauf et al. (2009), ethics was explored under the concept of multicultural discourse. This is where counseling adopts the diversity in client’s culture and the approach that counselors need to practice in dealing with a variety of clients. There are cases in which counselors defy the ethical values of their profession in favor of ...

Introduction:

Living organisms are equipped with robust machinery for executing a myriad of tasks to meet the day to day biological challenges. This machinery in turn relies on one or more interconnected pathways or networks composed of nucleic acid, proteins and other essential constituents. To say, it is the precise function of these components which determines the physiological well being organisms. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinases is one such known component that performs diverse physiological roles through its associations with the molecular machinery.
mTOR is a protein that responds to metabolism and ageing, intercellular stress to growth regulation, growth factors ...

The current writing analyzes three articles that share a common subject: leadership, but while two of them focus on the relation between the traits and behaviors as relevant predictors to leadership, the other describes the situational leadership theory and extends the notions available in this research area. This paper will examine the following articles: “Situational Leadership: A Review of the Research” (Johansen, 1990) , “Trait and behavioral theories of leadership: an integration and meta-analytic test of their relative validity” (Derue, Nahrgan, Wellman & Humphrey, 2011) and “Personality and Transformational and Transactional Leadership Meta-Analysis” (Bono & Judge, 2004).
Thesis Statement: These three articles ...

Anthropologists first used the word "tribes" to describe people groups they have studied through the years, all over the world. The term however proved to be insufficient, even politically incorrect as more knowledge of the discipline has been obtained, and accounting for the historical, political, cultural, and even inter-relational aspects of these people groups has become more and more complicated.
According to Béteille, tribes pertain more to people groups that are secluded, more or less self-sufficient, and homogenous socially. This definition was challenged when South Asian homogenous people groups were observed to be interactive with one another, ...

Article Review: The Causes of Cerebral Desaturation in

Article Review: The Causes of Cerebral Desaturation in
The study by Brinkman, Amadeo, Funk, and Grocott (2013) investigated cerebral desaturation, which frequently occurs in one-lung ventilation procedures for thoracic surgery and is possibly caused by lower cardiac output. The aim of the study was to explore the correlation between decreases in cerebral oxygen saturation that occurs in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation and decreased cardiac output. Although cerebral oxygen saturation was lowered in all of the participants, the researchers did not have statistically significant data that could be used to establish a correlation between cerebral desaturation and cardiac output, so ...

Program for Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder:

The overall topic of Bolten et al.’s research in Evaluating a Cognitive-Behavioral Group Treatment Program for Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is to examine the effect of group therapy in treating military veterans suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Abstract

Cancer of the lungs is among the leading causes of cancer in the world. It has two forms; small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC constitutes about 85% of cases of lung cancer. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its mutations are found to have an important role in this cancer. Therefore, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can work effectively against NSCLC. Gefitinib, which is a first generation TKI, and afatinib, which is a second-generation TKI, are effective as a first-line therapy for advanced NSCLC. Erlotinib is effective as a second-line therapy for advanced NSCLC. ...

Introduction
Digital Mammography is one of the most innovative, remarkable and feasible methods for both diagnosis and evaluation of breast carcinoma. Based on a current research by the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), the shift from conventional film based mammography to digital mammography has been associated with more life years gained (LYG) than film mammography (Van Ravesteyn, et al. 2015). In the current article, Bassett, Hoyt, & Oshiro (2010), have assessed and reviewed the quality evaluation criteria and process for digital mammography (DM). The key objective of Bassett, Hoyt, & Oshiro (2010), was to recognize potential quality ...

Infection in cancer patient with febrile neutropenia: epidemiology, microbiology and management

Abstract
Febrile neutropenia (FN) is characterised by a decrease in neutrophils number to values below 500 cells/ mm3 and an occurrence of fever higher or similar to 38.3ºC. It commonly occurs in cancer patients as a result of chemotherapy regimens. Chemotherapy destroys carcinogenic cells but also attacks in many cases some normal cells including essential elements of the immune system. Fever is one of the characteristic symptoms of FN and is usually associated with the presence of an infection caused by various microorganisms. Bacteria, including Gram-positive isolates (currently dominating) and Gram-negative species (dominant in the 1970s), are usually ...

Intention of the Study

The intention of the researchers in this study was to investigate how the psychosocial characteristics of work correlated with presenteeism (Janssens et al. 331).

Researchers can either use the descriptive or inferential approach when performing studied. The researchers employed the inferential approach. In addition to describing the data collected, the researchers also applied various statistical tests in order to measure the association between variables. For instance, the researchers use multiple logistic regressions to establish the correlation between presenteeism and psychosocial factors (Janssens et al. 334). Additionally, the researchers also t-tests and chi-square tests to determine the differences in gender ...

Essentially, the study revolves around the consequences of using social networking sites, specifically Facebook. Several earlier studies suggest that Internet use was associated with depressive symptoms and other negative mental health problems. However, there were also recent studies suggesting that Internet use was associated with positive effects. The researchers (Feinstein et al., 2013) proposed that the general quality of interactions while using social networking sites is a bigger factor affecting the mental health than the amount of time spent using the social networking sites. The researchers hypothesized that negative social comparison while using Facebook would be associated with increases ...

The basic premise of Perani et al.’s paper is to use brain imaging PET scans to investigate what areas of the brain are activated in a person speaking his native language (L1) versus the areas of the brain activated by a person speaking a second language (L2). Additionally, the researchers seek to investigate whether the age of L2 acquisition affect “patterns of acquision” within the brain, or whether language proficiency has more affect over the activated areas within the brain (Perani et al. 1998, p. 1841).

The introduction also offers other areas for which this research is useful, for example, “language ...

Trillions of microbes constitute the “Metagenome” of the human gut. This is the organ called microbiome, which is highly essential, and offers the host benefits such as metabolic abilities, pathogen protection, immune system enhancement, and GI tract developmental modulations (De Fillipo, et al.).
In their study, three questions regarding the evolution of the human microbiota have been raised. They are: (1) how does the partitioning of bacterial diversity between and within two populations studied? (2) Does there exist a correlation between the diet and bacterial diversity?; and (3) considering the varied geography and hygienic conditions, what is the bacterial ...

There are, undoubtedly, aspects of the self that are tied inextricably to an individual’s culture. Because it is impossible to raise a child in a cultural vacuum, it is impossible to determine exactly what aspects of personality are determined by culture and which aspects are determined by birth; the relationship between culture and identity is certainly tightly bound. Markus and Kitayama, for instance, point out that people are capable of framing their sense of self in a multitude of different ways, but that their method of identity is invariably tied closely to their culture. Staples, on the other hand, suggests that ...

Abstract

The relationship between leadership, trustworthiness and ethical stewardship is examined in Caldwell et al.'s (2010) "Leadership, Trustworthiness and Ethical Stewardship." The authors posit that ethical stewardship leads to trustworthiness, which is an important facet of leadership in organizations and businesses. In this essay, these three primary facets are reviewed and examined, the individual relationships weighed against other research on the topic. A subjective view of these facets is also included, considering the mediating lens as a potential drawback to the theory that behaving in an ethical and trustworthy way will lead to the perception of an effective leader by employees ...
