Abstract

Heat transfer through a cylindrical pin fin s studied. For the purposes of this study, thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient and the source terms and the sink terms are assumed to depend on the temperature. In the model being used for the study, the source and sink terms are given as arbitrary functions. We therefore employ techniques on symmetry to find the forms of the source and the sink terms which the extra lie point symmetries are admitted. The method of separating variables is used in the study to get the exact solutions when the equation for the equation Continue reading...

Results for the Relationship between the Principals Demographic Factors (Age, Gender and Years of Working Experience) and the Students Academic Experience
Again, there is very little in the way of significant results between a principal's age, gender, or years of working experience, and the overall academic experience that students have on campus. There are several reasons why this is probably true. Again, an additional metric that would be worth exploring with further research would be a principal's tenure on the specific campus in question, as a principal who has been on seven campuses in fourteen years, including just a Continue reading...

Background

Recent behavioral studies have shown the clinical relevance of meditation in the treatment of stress-related physiological and psychological illnesses. Kabat-Zinn et al. (1998) found that audio-induced mindfulness meditation reduced stress and increased the rate of healing of psoriatic lesions in patients with psoriasis. Krisanaprakornkit et al. (2006) reviewed a variety of meditation techniques on the effect of stress-related anxiety disorders and found that most meditation approaches can help patients self-regulate anxiety symptoms in a variety of anxiety conditions. In an extensive literature review comprising hundreds of studies conducted in the past 20 years, Jacobs (2001) also found that relaxation Continue reading...

Q1. What is the effect of VLSM therapy on state anxiety levels, as measured by the STAI?

Q2. What is the effect of VLSM therapy on perceived stress levels, as measured by the PSS?
Research Method

This will be a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to examine the effects of VLSM meditation therapy (Solfanelli, 2010) on state anxiety levels and perceived stress levels. As previously noted, state anxiety will be operationally defined as scores on Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), whereas stress will be operationally defined as scores on the Perceived Stress scale (PSS).

Audio-visual stimulation (AVS) therapy was selected over other popular forms of meditation therapy, including therapies such as Joacobson’s Progressive Continue reading...

Hate crimes may be influenced by economic competition and even resentment towards a particular group rather than a generalization about a particular group of people. It is the case that hate crimes are a result of prejudice on the part of the offender against the victim of hate crime. In this paper, we argue that the economic strain and the concomitant resentment that may be felt towards certain minority group as the African-Americans in our case here are mostly based on false generalizations (Stewart). This is to mean that most of the reasons that attend the commission of this Continue reading...

The Wall Street Journal versus The Financial Times

The Wall Street Journal versus The Financial Times
On October 5, 2011, Steve Jobs, the former CEO of the Apple Corporation, died at age 56. Given Jobs’ persona as a prominent business leader, two business media organizations, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and The Financial Times (FT) were prime contributors to the media coverage of this event. This paper will compare and contrast the coverage from these two sources of media, one based in the United States, the other based in the United Kingdom.

Abstract

Working in a multicultural health care setting calls for a workforce that clearly understand the ethical and legal considerations that exist in relation to culture, beliefs, background, as well as knowledge. While physician and nurses have the upper hand in ensuring quality health care as well as life sustaining measures, the patient holds a very critical role in dictating the care procedures that they prefer. Bioethics studies have had differing approaches to the issue of making informed consent to health care procedures. However, there is one thing that remains untouched. The greatest responsibility is the life if the patients Continue reading...

Careers should be managed wisely in order to achieve job satisfaction throughout an individual’s career (Inkson 2007). The following paper outlines job opportunities, training & skills, responsibilities and career progression in a sales and marketing job.

In contrast, Garkell et al. (2004) contend that it is the perceived absence of benefits and not the assessment of risks that accounts for the low index of acceptance of GM foods by the European public. The authors reviewed the results of an earlier study where they used the Eurobarometer survey on biotechnology (EB52.1) to ask 1000 respondents in each of 17 European countries their opinions on whether each of 7 biotechnologies was (1) useful (an index of benefit), (2) risky (an index of risk), and (3) morally acceptable (an index of support) (Garkell et al. 2000).

Marketing is a process that is used when determining the kinds of services and products that are interesting to customers, as well as the strategy that should be used in communications, sales and business development (Kotler et al., 2008).

translatable. This author particularly examined the readership in arts. How do we study and interpret visual art? Readership of Visual Art is the primary goal of the art research. Through the art practice, he realized that he has always used two distinctive elements in one set; non-duality. “Form is emptiness and the very emptiness is form” (p. 18). “Emptiness does not differ from form, form does not differ from emptiness; whatever is form, that is emptiness, whatever is emptiness, that is form, the same is true of feelings, perceptions, impulses and consciousness (p. 18).”

Of principal concern is the prevention and control of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) by medical practitioners in intensive care units (ICUs). VAP is one of the most frequently reported infections acquired by patients under mechanical ventilation healthcare. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) persists to be a frequent and potentially deadly complication of ventilator care (Chulay, 2005), often occurring within environments characteristic of the intensive care unit (ICU) that are high-tech and high touch. Patients who are ventilated and intubated present the unique challenge for critical care registered nurses (RNs) to incorporate evidence-informed practices concerning the delivery of high-quality care (Crunden, 2005).

Internal Management

Definitively, motivation can be understood as a psychological state that compels or encourages action towards the achievement of certain goals or objectives. It is an inner drive to act in a certain way (Psychology Today 2014). In organizations, today managers are increasingly faced with the task of motivating employees to better their performance and consequently, the organizational performance as a whole. Lindner explains that employees are not only motivated by financial rewards; employee attitudes towards their work and the reward systems in place (Lindner 2014).

Section 1: The Impact of Disoriented emotions on Sexual Performance amongst War Veterans from Afghanistan and Iraq by Nunninck et al. (2010)

In this non experimental study, four post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) cluster conceptualizations were utilized to enhance evaluation of the role that each of the clusters played in enhancing sexual functioning. The study prediction was based on the assumption that given the intimacy that is enhanced through emotional detachment and sexual encounter (reported by the individuals that had PTSD), the sexual numbness symptoms were hardly likely capture many variance that accounted for the sexual functioning and PTSD.

Introduction

Retinopathy is a frequent complication of diabetes mellitus especially when blood sugar is poorly controlled. The retina is the part of the eye that transforms light into signals transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve (NHS UK 2013). The brain interprets the electrical signals into images corresponding to what was seen. While sufficient blood supply is needed for the retina to function optimally, chronic hyperglycaemia causes ischemia and bleeding in the retinal microvasculature leading to the formation of new capillaries meant to sustain blood circulation in the retina (Vithian & Hurel 2010). However, the new capillaries are fragile and Continue reading...
