A Dissertation Methodology

The electro-microprobe technology Modern geochemists (Donovan et al, 2003) generally agree that modern electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) is bringing the most precise and most accurate chemical analyses for solid specimens today. Moreover, these highest-quality results can be brought to routine achievements under carefully crafted analytical protocols. The modern EMPA technology already incorporates qualitative and quantitative analytical methods in a non-destructive mechanism even from micron-sized samples of surface materials at a sensitivity of many parts per million (ppm) (Cameca, 2012). In fact, a number of EMPA equipment today can incorporate one or two others of the four major surface and ...

The Belmont Report

The Belmont Report was designed to ensure that practitioners and psychologists in the United States upheld ethical standards in psychological studies.

These three ethical principles emphasize respect for persons, beneficence, and justice—without adherence to these principles, the ethical study can and should be considered inappropriate and should not be conducted. Each of these three facets of ...

His novels portray the clash between the individual and moral values and virtues and social goodness and ethical codes. Laurence Sargent Hall says: “The moral problem to be found wherever the individual’s mal- adjustment to society culminates in sin furnished Hawthorne with his major tragic themes. In the main this problem is worked out through some resolution by the individual of his mal- adjustment, an expiation of sin, by coming to ...

Throughout history, one aspect of human evolution that has been subject to intensive study is human interaction and communication. Sociologists and philosophers have for a long time been baffled by the factors that motivate certain human interaction and communication patterns. This has led to the formulation of several social theories that attempt to explain how and why humans behave and in a certain way and why they interact and communicate with each other in a certain way. Therefore, these theories attempt to predict the implications of certain human interactions and their associated modes of communication. This essay will three of ...

1.1 Background developments

Traditionally, accounting standards have been developed by different countries on the basis of local legal, economical and cultural institutions frameworks (Elliott and Elliott, 2009, p. 158). As a result, the standard setting was very country specific. With the globalization process at work for the last 3-4 decades and increasing mobility of capital internationally accepted accounting standards have become necessary to facilitate cross border transactions and make financial reporting comparable between countries and companies thereby leading to a greater transparency for investors (Nobes, 2004). IASB has been set up as a private international standard setter with a mandate to create high quality accounting standards ...

Historically, it has been Federal Reserve’s dual mandate to maintain the stability of prices and employment. That it does by varying its federal funds target, by ...

Introduction

The AS-AD framework is a very useful economy tool, which reduces the economy into a simple model of supply and demand. The aggregate demand curve (AD) is given by the summation of consumption (C), investments (I), government purchases (G) and net exports (X-M).

It begins with a depiction of an economy operating at less than full employment, showing that economies often tend towards the ...

Cross-cultural adjustment necessitates traits, skills, and capacities such as open-mindedness, cross-cultural awareness and sensitivity, flexibility, patience, and a sincere interest in other cultures. Those who may not readily adjust to new cultural surroundings may need ...

Divorce has become prevalent in contemporary societies. As observed by scholars, the instances of divorce have substantially increased over the years most especially in countries where divorce laws are quite lenient. It appears then that the natural urge for parents to bind themselves together and establish a partnership in order to increase their ability to raise their offspring and to increase the survival of the family in general has somehow diminished. In the present society where divorce has become almost a part of a country’s culture, the possibility of having an intact family upbringing becomes increasingly slim. As divorce increases, the ...

If the perception of managers for the resistance is threat, they can become defensive, competitive, or uncommunicative. The need is to find out the missing pieces and defective assumptions.
