Problem Statement and Recommendations

The growing influx of Mid-East refugees into Europe, particularly in last five years, cannot be overemphasized. The mass uprisings, civil wars and political persecution are leading causes for current refugee crisis. The path made by refugees into Europe's heart is, if anything, a major logistical issue, apparently minor but is at core of current refugee crisis. As Mid-East asylum seekers and refugees continue to pour into European countries and across borders, European security is at stake at multiple levels. First, "source" countries – i.e. countries at Europe's southern borders at which refugees first set foot from countries of origin – pose ...

A motion picture refers to a series of still images, which when viewed in brisk succession, seem to be moving. There are two principles behind the creation of the illusion of movement of the pictures. These include; persistence of vision and displacement. Persistence of vision is a phenomenon that enables us to see the frames as a constant image without the incursion of seeing the space between the frames. Our brains form a visual impression upon seeing an image and the image loiters until the next image displaces it. Displacement, conversely, forms the illusion of movement. As the image shifts from frame to ...

Sexual aversion disorder is commonly found in women as compared to men, and it is commonly found in women in the ...

Introduction

The economic power in current global ecosystem has assumed more significance compared to conventional use of military power. The world has become increasingly flat and hence economic influence is becoming more impactful. On an upside, economic influence can be used to promote bilateral and/or multilateral economic relations between nations. On a downside, economic influence can be used to promote specific political, social and, of course, military goals. This is called, for current purposes, economic terrorism. By coercing nations into specific actions – or, for that matter, intimidating nations to backtrack from specific actions – coercive powers (state actors, non-state actors or ...

Introduction

The extant record on contemporary human biology indicate that relative to other primates, the life history hallmarks of modern humans diverge in many advantageous ways. For example, researchers attribute our greater life history patterns to selective features within our genus, including relatively large brains and advanced dispersal capabilities (Bogin 1999; Flinn 2010; Hill and Hurtado 1996; Kaplan et al. 2000; Leigh 2001). Over the last decade, a mounting body of scientific research has simultaneously called into question and advanced the prevailing scientific consensus on the origin and development of the genus Homo, generally, and the foundations for the identifying ...
