Gender is one of the themes that Morrison explores in her novel Sula. Gender roles help to create unevenness in terms of the power balance between women and men. This unequal balance of power that is prevalent in the social environment of her characters in Sula ultimately becomes a part of them. The impact of this is that it becomes nestled in the psychological conflicts they encounter and experience. In this novel, these psychological conflicts play out on the sexuality platform. The sexuality of the characters results in the internalization of the unequal balance of power between women and ...

Introduction.

A combustion engine can be defined as any engine that operates through fuel burning. The difference between a combustion engine and steam engine is that the latter uses steam for operation while the former uses gasoline. Combustion engines also use fueled gases such as hydrogen, propane, methane etc which are components of diesel. Combustion engines run on one type of fuel, and may require a series of adaptation to adjust to fuel/air ratio to use other forms of energy (Agrawal, 2006).
The combustion process starts in the gasoline cylinder where a mixture of air and gasoline is sprayed. The mixture is ...

Abstract

The seawater forms 97% of water of the world, and the icecaps account for 2%. The portion of water available for human consumption is barely 0.5% and that also in aquifers. The widening gap between availability and requirement of potable water especially in the Gulf countries has necessitated newer methods and technologies for production of water suitable for human consumption. This situation in the Gulf region has developed due to non- availability of surface water, high growth of population and urbanization, and water depletion. The present paper takes account of the desalinization of seawater plant established in Abu Dhabi ...

Intermodal Containers

Introduction
The intermodal container is one of the most common sights in ports, harbors and docks. It is so common that its importance and significance to modern logistics is often overlooked. But despite the seemingly simple design of intermodal containers, its universal usefulness in transporting goods could not be undermined that it can be considered as one of the most important development in the field of transportation and logistics. Despite its importance in commerce and logistics, the intermodal container is also at risk of being utilized by the lawless elements of society. Without proper security, containers can be used ...

Abstract

This paper explores how research methodologies can be used to resolve organizational issues. Using Starbucks as the company of focus, this paper discusses the qualities of qualitative and quantitative research and how they can be used for investigation and analysis in an organizational setting. It is hypothesized, for instance, that the decline in Starbucks’ sales as well as the poor performance of some of its stores is due to poor customer service. The concept of customer service, however, is too abstract to measure directly. However, this hypothesis can be determined using qualitative research methods as opposed to the quantitative ...

The “bottom billion” refers to the poorest people in the world and not necessarily countries. Although they may be concentrated in the poorest countries in the world, especially in Africa, they are also found in many developing countries across especially across the globe. These people suffer from many problems as a result of their country’s situation apparently because the country itself is so poor and cannot provide itself with requirements for survival ; the kind of aid it is receiving simply is not appropriate and is thus not working ; it is ravaged by war and similar problems ; or, poor governance ...

Introduction.

Recruitment and training are two functions in the human resources department, which require strategic planning and thought. Recruitment involves searching and obtaining qualified personnel or applicants when filling job openings in an organization. It stops short of deciding the individuals who qualify and should be hired from a pool of job applicants. Retention, on the other hand, refers to all activities that an employer undertakes in encouraging employees to work productively in an organization. The objective behind retention is to minimize all possibilities of unwanted or voluntary turnovers. This implies keeping the number of employees that an organization can serve ...

Introduction

The United States is one of the most developed countries, but it is also one of the countries with the highest level of income inequality. According to research, more than half of the nation’s income goes to only 5% of the population, while the remaining half is shared by the 95%. One way of measuring a nation’s income inequality is through the Gini coefficient. The Gini coefficient measures income inequality on a scale of 0 to 1 wherein 0 corresponds to total equality; a scenario wherein everyone is earning the same amount while 1 corresponds to total ...

Pressure ulcers are damaged areas of the skin, which develop due to the long-term effect of pressure or friction in the areas where the bone is close to the skin, such as heels, sacrum, ischial tuberosity, lateral malleoli and greater trochanters. The epidemiology of pressure ulcers proves that today, despite the profound understanding of them, pressure ulcers are still a serious global health care problem, which affects millions of people worldwide. For example, in the US every year more than 2.5 million people suffer from the pressure ulcers (Cuddigan, Berlowitz, and Ayello 208-215). In 2013 pressure ulcers caused ...

Introduction

The Minoan Civilization was the forerunner of the ancient Greek culture which emerged from the island of Crete. The island of Crete was isolated from the rest of the Greek mainland by the Sea of Crete to the north and by the Mediterranean Sea to the west. The island with its mountainous rugged terrain and white sand coastal areas proved to be a great spot for international affairs and trade routes especially for the European, Africa, and Asia Minor merchants. Because of its isolated landscape, many scholars have proposed the existence of cultural interactions between Cretan civilization and those ...

Feminism can arguably be considered as one of the fastest growing ideologies in the past decades or even centuries. In an entry published by Richards & Baumgardner at Feminist.com (2016), they said that “in the most basic sense, feminism is exactly what the dictionary says it is: the movement for social political, and economic equality of men and women” and means that “women have the right to enough information to make informed choices about their lives” and their dependents’ lives just like men . What it essentially calls for is equality between the two genders. One important note to remember about ...

Over the last two decades, corporate social responsibility has gained deep interest from accountants and auditors. It happens because substantial amounts of financial resources are invested in corporate social responsibility; yet there are not explicit accounting policies and standards to report on corporate social responsibility financials and activities (The Institute of Internal Auditors, 2016). Owing to this, there has been varied views and discourses on the conduct of corporate social reporting with many commentators focusing majorly on the triple bottom line reporting as a prelude to corporate social reporting. The current paper presents a detailed review of the ongoing ...

Animation is not truthful; in fact it can be summed up as a deceptive way of entertaining people. This is so because it is generally a rapid sequence of purely still images put together in order to give an illusion of movement. It is a human creation that can even be seen as a trick that eyes play on an individual but gets some form of interpretation in the human mind. It is important to understand it from this perspective otherwise comparing and contrasting American animation and Japanese animation also known as anime will not make sense at all. Both of them are ...

Different approaches offer these companies varied opportunities to adapt modes necessary in the foreign markets and in finding new distribution and supply chain channels.
Choosing a foreign market entry strategy involve considerations of costs, alignment of the strategy to company’s objectives, time element, and foreign market environment and ...

Overview of the Theory

The Hierarchy of Needs is a psychology theory that was proposed in 1943 by an American psychologist, Abraham Maslow. This was done through his paper of psychological review on the theory of human motivation. Maslow did this paper after he was dismayed by the attempts to reduce the human psychology to some form of mindless mechanisms (Boone & GWC, 2002). Thus he started a new psychological movement, which he called the ‘Humanistic Psychology.’ This theory is parallel to many theories of development psychology.
In order to come up with this theory, Maslow studied some of the work done by outstanding people ...

The effects of oil drilling towards the environment or any drilling of similar nature such as drilling of natural gas has been extensively discussed. Major stakeholders such as the government, the private sector and common people that are directly influenced by these drilling activities have different views towards this topic, which makes it more controversial. Some idealist stakeholders, for example, believe that oil drilling poses serious environmental threats. For the same reason, they believe that the risk outweighs the advantages and so these drilling activities must be stopped at once. On the other hand, those stakeholders that is benefiting ...

IMPLICIT ASSOCIATION TEST FOR RACE

Abstract
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures human attitudes. Implicit attitudes are considered those judgments or actions of people that are automatic and the person has no idea what causes that judgment or action.

IAT is different from qualitative psychological tests for measuring attitudes because the measurement is of the cognitive processes of memory that cause a person to show a particular attitude automatically. IAT-Race was used to study racial stereotypes in an experiment to determine if the “Obama Effect” was observed. The participants were prompted to go to a web ...

Introduction

An accounting framework essentially influences the way business entities delineates success. Traditional accounting predominantly concentrates on increasing the shareholder value while also influencing the bottom lines of the business in terms of its finances. However, an growing number of corporations now-a-days, are primarily interested in either the so called “double” or “triple” bottom line accounting. Their focus is not just on measuring the impact their business practices have on the financial bottom line, but also upon the impact their business practices have on their personnel, the societies in which they operate, as well as the environment surrounding them.

The Network, Data Link, and Physical Layers

Introduction

The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model has served as a reference for the most basic elements of computer networking since its inception in 1984. Based on a proposal created by the International Standards Organization (ISO), the OSI model was developed “to provide a set of design standards for equipment manufacturers so they could communicate with each other” (Miller, 2001). It consists of seven layers, which, from top to bottom, are the following: Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical.

I have learned, through the research I conducted, that the three upper layers perform the application-specific functions such as connection ...

Introduction

Organizational strategies may differ from one organization to the next; however, ethical practices are universal. Ethics in Strategic Management is an important issue for most organizations as guided by firm-specific objectives. Ethics are moral principles that direct a person’s or group’s behavior.
