Abstract

Historical cost accounting refers to the accounting method in which only the original costs of assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses are recognised. This means the method is silent as to the effects of depreciation, inflation, time value of money among other things. Much of the arguments for and against the historical cost accounting method can be divided into two, academic and practical reasons. The academic arguments resonate around issues of integrity and rationality while practical argument consider the fact that decision making uses accounting information and the overall need for accuracy in decision making. Its pros include the fact ...

The development of a search warrant application during the investigation of a computer crime has to take into considerations several factors. Some of these considerations include the elaboration of how the computer is used to conduct crime; and the protection of some of the information gathered (McLean, 2005). The search warrant application requires the investigators to disclose information that will give them the permission to conduct a search on devices that are presumed to have been used in carrying out the computer crime. The offense must be measurable so as to disclose the extent of damage that the crime ...

In the first week we learnt about HTTP refers to Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, a term that I had heard about many instances before the first lecture. It is used in telecommunications and networks, and it made me interested in the topic since it was applicable to the internet and websites, and I had used it when browsing the internet although I did not understand its applications fully. It was exciting to learn about the previous version of HTTP (version 1.0) and the newer version that is currently in use, HTTP 1.1. The current version of HTTP is a ...

Public and Community Health Nursing
Achieving an improved community health is one of the roles of nursing practice. It involves public health, to which the nursing professional not only works with one patient at-a-time. The public health or community health nurses aim to provide education to people when it comes to health issues (explorehealthcareers.org). Thus, part of their goals is to improve the safety and health of the community and to increase their access to healthcare. There are various challenges that could influence the over community health (Meadows, 2009). However, there are different theories that can ...

What do you think about the academics that claim there is no real evidenced based practice (EBP)?

While there are claims that evidenced-based practice is not real, it is but important to understand the criteria and applicability of the method prior to its application. There are cases the EBP has been proven effective in various situations and covers different disciplines. It is still our responsibility as a practitioner to use our knowledge and expertise and check against the latest suggestions from the research as a result of EBP. This practice has its advantages and disadvantages that we should consider prior to its application. Taking a deeper understanding of the ...

Corporal punishment has been practiced in human society since the civilizations of the ancient world, but corporal punishment is not an effective long-term strategy for modifying human behavior because it can cause developmental issues and behavioral issues in all stages of lifespan development. Corporal punishment is a significant issue for children and adolescents because they are mainly the targets of physical abuse at home or in school under the assumption that it will result in reducing misbehavior.
Three types of corporal punishment include parental corporal punishment, school corporal punishment, and judicial corporal punishment. Other than the death penalty, judicial ...

Incremental model can be said to be an enhancement of the waterfall model. There are several waterfall approach done repeatedly in the development of the software. The software development cycles are split down into smaller pieces that are easily managed. Each of the iterations or the software version released go through the whole waterfall steps; requirements, design, implementation and testing phase (Pressman 52).
Each iteration produces a working version of the software which is then tested. The software version is tested by the users and the developers to capture the misleading or misunderstood requirements. The following software development or ...

Lenn Goodman- ‘Some Moral Minima:’ A Perspective

Challenges to Relativism

Conclusion

Introduction
Relativism is a concept that forges reality advancing assumptions which declare nothing to be absolutely true or valid. This is so because what has been proven true or valid is always based on personal perceptions which may be influenced by various predisposing factors. Often they may be merely subjective sentiments which are not universal since they only represent the view point of a few, the minority, majority or imposition of a dictator (Baghramian, 2004)
When conceptualized within the context of morality it impinges on the framework ...

According to Burns (99), learning is comparatively permanent change in behavior, whereby behavior is the observable activity as well as internal processes such as attitudes, thinking and emotions. Burns holds that learning may not show itself in observable behavior immediately the educational program has happened. Learning occurs in different settings such as at home, during play, at work or more commonly, at school. In formal settings, learning takes place in a classroom, library or laboratory. Teachers facilitate learning on different levels. On the other hand, apprenticeship is a combination of training on the job and related classroom instruction through ...

Introduction

In law enforcement, profiling is a technique used to develop a profile of unknown criminal offenders using available information from crimes committed. Criminal profiling seeks to identify an offender through analysis of the offense committed, the manner it was committed and physical evidence from the scene of offense. Through the use of information collected, psychological characteristics of offenders may also be developed. Profiling is mainly employed in offender profiling. However, since profiling involves the analysis of several aspects of an individual including behavior, it is used in other ways other than criminal profiling. Profiling is used in the American ...

Introduction

Pragmatically, the deviant behaviour of white-collar criminals provides students of sociology a different exploration of how human nature works in clandestine operations in plain view. Society, at least superficially does not suspect a so-called white-collar individual of criminal behaviour in general, as stereotypes tend to lead people’s thoughts in the direction one way or another. While, the dishevelled, unkempt, anti-social “looking” individual exists as suspect of deviant behaviour by his/her mere appearance including labelled as a criminal in some regards, the white collar individual stands in society appearance wise as an upstanding citizen (Goode 2008).

Historically, the concept of white collar is not so new:

The emergence of Windows server 2012 has revolutionized the entire network environment, because it has made easy the process of installation of Operating Systems (OS), which was initially a very cumbersome task for computer users across the globe (Lavapie, 2012). It has simplified the process by eliminating activities, which used to be done before the actual installation of the OS, for example, configuration of CMS, formatting and partitioning of hard drives. Installation of an OS involved the use of DVDs and CDs, and there would occur certain problems ...

In his article "Leading change - Why transformation efforts fail?" John Kottler identifies eight most wide-spread errors that prevent change managers from conducting effective change. Considering the efforts, described by the author, one becomes capable of identifying steps that are viewed as the necessary ones for the implementation of a successful change. The model, developed by Kottler, can be applied to any top-down change process (i.e., a project that was developed by the top management of the organization). The steps, addressed in the article, are increasing urgency of the change; building the guiding team for a change; creating the ...

Introduction

Disruptive innovation involves the whole process of creating new markets for an array of products. The idea of disruptive innovation is best explained by Christensen, C. M. (2003) as the creation of new value networks and markets, something that would cause disruptions in the existing market. Disruptive technology has created a competitive advantage for many business organizations, where a new and more superior product or service is introduced to the market. This knocks out the competitors since the products or services do not exist on the general market. Superior goods and services would, therefore, force the general existing market ...

Introduction

The need for government and central bank intervention in the market has historically received support from a number of scholars. For instance, the economic idea of government intervention (demand-side management) in the market is largely attributed to the Keynesian economics, which is highlighted in the book, “General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money” by John Maynard Keynes published in 1936. According to the Keynesian economics, automatic market forces (alone) may not trigger a condition of economic equilibrium, particularly during a financial crisis. This is primarily due to the presence of economic inefficiency brought about by market externalities. Closely linked ...

Information Processing and Cognitive Theories 1989 to Present

Although there are several different views about cognitive psychology, a few general principles exist that most of the cognitive theorists could agree with. First is the principle derived from the assumption of a limited capacity of our mental system, which means that the amount of information that the mental system can process is constrained in myriad ways. At a very specific point of the mental process, the flow of information is restricted in a bottleneck manner. The second principle involves a requirement of control mechanism to accommodate storage, processing, transformation, encoding, ...

Application of Benner’s Theory: from Novice to Expert

Introduction
In her theory titled From Novice to Expert, Dr. Patricia Benner introduced the idea that expert nurses gain the skills and comprehension of patient care not merely by undergoing a rigorous educational program but also by being exposed to a multitude of experiences. According to Dr. Benner (1984), one can gain the needed skills without ever learning the theory. Therefore, she proposes that the development of knowledge and skills in a pragmatic field such as nursing, calls for exposure to practical knowledge of clinical experience. Benner’s theory stresses on the importance of practical knowhow and proposes that ...

Introduction
This paper looks at the claim by Cullen and Gilbert (1982) that “Rehabilitation should be the major goal of any correctional system” (p. 5) and seeks to determine if rehabilitation is the most efficient method to attenuate crime. From the onset of the 20th century, efforts to combat crime have seen a rise in the implementation of rehabilitation as a preferred philosophy or methodology enacted by the justice system in order to reduce this societal challenge. The treatment of criminals was perceived as both efficient in terms of crime prevention and also the treatment of offenders was considered ...

There are varied definitions of common property that exist in various contexts. Its application and use is, therefore, determined by the specific context. Our definition of common property is in relation to real tangible property. Common property in this context of real properties can be defined as a property that is collectively owned by public or a community to which every member of the community has equal right to use and access. Sometimes, the government can own common property. Where government owns common properties, all citizens have a right to use it in various activities. The ownership and product ...

I particularly believed that Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs encompasses and explains the motivation needs of an individual. It explained that the motivation of people is based on the achievement of specific needs. The needs of an individual are hierarchical. The attainment of the basic needs, as defined by Maslow, progresses as a person goes on with his daily life. The satisfaction on each stage eventually reaches the highest need known as self-actualization. These needs range from physiological, safety, belongingness, esteem and self-actualization .

In the context of Table 4 – 1, the rehabilitation non-personal costs of $10, 272, is the non-revenue costs allocated to this particular cost center. The non-revenue cost center or cost pools that contribute costs to the revenue center are called “ ...

Knowledge is a philosophical concept which has been quite challenging to understand. Over the years, philosophers came up with diverging ideas about it. Precisely, it took a very long time for them to agree on the sources of knowledge. This sparked a very hot debate amongst the philosophers. Zeno emphasized on the role of "moral and intellectual perfection” in the acquisition of knowledge. According to his school of thought, reason can also be considered as a source of knowledge. To the stoicism, the acquisition of the right knowledge can be instrumental in identifying the truth and distinguishing it from ...

It was almost as if something termed “visioning” would not involve concrete process steps, particular content, and specific application approaches that could be followed to increase the chances of formulating and executing an effective vision. Before reading Part Two, I believed that visioning would have involved, somehow, inherent and inspiration driven ...
