Constituents Research Papers Samples For Students

Introduction

Leadership is a great responsibility in which one person with the help and support of others moves towards the accomplishment of a common purpose. Leadership involves gathering a group of people for the fulfillment of a common objective. Credibility is the principle on which the basic foundation of leadership is laid. Credibility refers to the trust and confidence that a leader earns from his followers. If a leader is not able to institute credibility in the minds of his people for himself, he will be a failure as a leader. As Kouzes and Posner (2003) mentioned in their book "Constituents do not owe leaders allegiance. Leaders earn ...

The Fair Sentencing Act

On August 3, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, for the first time in the History of the U.S (Grindle, 2010). This law was a response to the then claims of racial biases of the law in convicting drug dealers. This Act established new quantity thresholds, which were meant to trigger statutory mandatory minimum and maximum penalties for offenses related to cocaine. By so doing, this law amended the Controlled Substance Act and the controlled import and export of substance. This new law saw to it that the quantities of cocaine that ...

Abstract

Oxidation is a common problem in olive oil due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acid, this leads to nutritional losses and quality degradation, especially under microwave heating. A number of studies have been done to add natural antioxidants to reduce oxidation. This project examines the possible application of olive leaves to reduce or inhibit olive oil oxidation under microwave heating. Olive leaves were able to increase the total polyphenol content as well as reducing the peroxide value in olive oil. However, the microwave heating caused severe quality degradation (increasing peroxide value and reducing total polyphenol) especially after 10 ...

Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Analysis (GC-MS) is a technique that incorporates chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques in separating and identifying constituents in a sample. According to Erika, Josefina and Maria (2011), the major goal of the technique is in quantifying an amount of a sample, which is done by comparing the relative concentrations among the atomic masses in the produced spectrum. The sample that needs to be quantified is organic and volatile, or semi volatile.
The GC part is used to separate is essential in carrying out separation techniques where mixtures are isolated from their constituents using a temperature-controlled capillary column. Smaller molecules in ...

Assignment 3

A mixture is a substance that has molecules of different types. Constituents of mixtures could be either elements or compounds. The different constituents of a mixture exist together in a state whereby they are in contact with one another. However, they do not combine chemically. In addition, the individual constituents of a mixture retain their individual physical properties even after forming the mixture. It is possible to separate a mixture into its constituent elements by physical or mechanical means. The melting and boiling points of a mixture are not definite. They range from one figure to another. It is also possible to mix the constituent ...

Abstract
Negative (opposing or intimidating) events arouse robust and speedy physiological, rational, emotive, and social reactions. This organization of the organism is accompanied by physical, cognitive, and interactive results that diminish, lessen, and even wipe out the influence of that incident. This array of mobilization-minimization seems to be bigger for undesirable events than for unbiased or positive happenings. Hypothetical explanations of this response form are reviewed in this paper. Further, it will give a verdict on whether negative bias has been helpful or harmful to the process of human evolution. It is established that ...

The quality of manufactured food is not up to standards since everyone is out there to make money. Therefore, there is less concern about what is available for the consumer. It is not clear whether this blame should be laid with ...

Communism The communist government is a political and socioeconomic entity that is founded on the principles of common ownership of production, and the non-existence of social classes. The ideologies behind the communist government are also based on the theories of Karl Marx, Frederick Engels and Vladimir Lenin. These theories have in common the debunking of the relationship between the capitalists and the laborers in a society, and thus the state should own all the means of production such that there ought to be an equitable distribution of the fruits of production among all the members of society.

Introduction

Entities of health care recognize revenue for which a little portion of the total amount is billable or billed or the final collection is not assured reasonably at the time the services are rendered. There have been concerns raised by the constituents that these kind of accounting practices lead to gross-up revenue for unexpected amounts to be collected in the end. To add to it, due to the fact that entities of health care make their own decisions as far as bad debts and adjustment to revenues is concerned, the decisions are different from one another and it is not ...

Canines Micro Biomes Affected by their Diet
Abstract
Dogs and other cats alike suffer from similar maladies faced by humans. The similarity in the maladies between the two groups of organisms stems from the ability to suffer infections from microbiomes of the gut. However, most of the research and knowledge on canine microbiome is not comprehensive to enable the deduction of accurate and precise conclusions. Recently, the molecular studies conducted on the cat family indicated that there are complex microbiomes in the gastrointestinal tract of then organism. The family of microbiomes includes archaeal, fungal, bacterial, and viral ...

The Congress of the United States has been accused of being out of touch with the American people. There are many reasons that this might be the case. One such reason is the lack of term limits placed on members of Congress. (Bennett, 2012) This allows members to become congressmen or Senators and slowly assimilate into the culture of Washington DC. Many representatives spend more of their years in office in Washington than in the areas they are supposed to represent. (Reed & Schansberg, 1994) Often times, these individuals are reelected on name recognition, or party affiliation rather than on ...

Abstract

We have seen changes in the way management theory and leadership strategies are looked upon in the last 100 years. Conjured under the backdrop of numerous and varied events such as the industrial revolution in the early 1900s, the equalization of the treatment of races and gender, through the various economic depressions and worldwide political changes, the management aspect of business and life in general, has evolved at a sharper and more meaningful rate. This paper examines the evolution of management, from its early beginnings, to the scientific method espoused by Taylor, the findings of Henri Fayol, the summation of ...

Introduction
According to Thomas (2005), the crime rate in 2003 was almost the same as it was in 1973, but the number of people in prisons grew sevenfold. This is a real public policy puzzle because if the number of offenders did not change over the period, it would be appropriate to question the cause of the number of inmates to rise from 300,000 to nearly 2.3 million. The increase media attention in the late 1980s and early 1990s of high profile cases, and law and order demagoguery by politicians all played a part, of course. Nevertheless, the main ...

Corporate Social Responsibility and the Porgera Gold Mine

Introduction

More than often, many companies seek to maintain a high level of corporate social responsibility as a way of attaining sustainable growth for the future. More so, the companies who undertake corporate social responsibility acknowledge that their operations involve its employees and communities who surround its operations (Vallaster, Lindgreen & Maon, 2012.

Cohen (p. 1) described Constantine as a successful general. His father was a successful general as well and he was trained for military leadership. He led the army at the West. He inched his way to the Roman Empire by his leadership and military might.
Constantine claimed to have had a vision of a Chi Ro (p. 1). This is a symbol of Christ, shining above the sun. Recognizing it as a divine sign, Constantine made his soldiers paint ...

Episodes of aggressive reprisal by casualties of bullying have initiated an augmented alertness of the predicament of bullying within the preceding few years.

When psychologists discuss the term personality, they are describing the aspects of a person that are lasting, continuous, and stable. If one is violent now, the probability is high he or she will be violent in future. Therefore, the personality discussions are focussed on constant traits (DiCaprio, 1983). In addition, personality can be described as that trait that transpires in a broad diversity of situations (DiCaprio, 1983). A violent individual will be inclined to be so in many diverse conditions. Ryckman defines Personality “as a dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by a person that uniquely influences his or her cognitions, motivations, ...
