Overview

Islamic architecture is based on the traditions of the Muslim community dating as far back as the seventh century. It is well elaborated in traditional Muslim religious buildings such as the mosque and the madrasa. It is believed that the early Islamic architecture drew its designs from Christian architectural features which included columnar arches, mosaics, and domes. Additionally, the architecture included characteristics such as semicircular horseshoe arch and rich decorated surfaces (Ali et.al, 15). On the other hand, modern architecture is used to refer to architectural designs that emerged in the first half of the twentieth century and extensively ...

The human race has harmed the very planet that they live on, through their activities, since the very start of civilization. Using the resources provided by nature to fulfill the needs of the human beings is not something that is the cause of concern, but the indirect intent of incriminating damage to the environment is what the main source of concern is. Some of the impacts of human activity involve the disruption of carbon cycle, the disruption of hydro (water) cycle, and the reduction of species diversity. The major impacts of human activity on the carbon cycle include the ...

Abstract

If you ever tried to solve an issue with finding an employee for a particular position in your company, you must know that it’s quite difficult to find a professional. Sometimes this issue is solved simply but sometimes you need a whole raw of tests and interviews to see what kind of person is sitting in front of you and if you can trust him/her with an important job. Big companies hire special managers to find proper workers. And if you have a rather small enterprise, you have to find them yourself. It’s not that easy – an ...

Introduction

The broad issue of gender equality and empowerment of women has been discussed in length and depth by various stakeholders in society. In fact, the topic stands out as one of the most highly debated issues through the years. The continued occurrence of incidences of gender discrimination clearly points out that the debates are yet to yield their ultimate objectives. The primary contention in all such arguments is the continuous portrayal of women as a lesser gender and thus belittling the morality and feminine’s obligations in society. Male chauvinists, who consider themselves superior and more potent have continuously ...

Introduction

Ethics came from the Greek word ‘ethos,’ or character. In the modern context, ethics refer to the study of normative behavior. It is commonly understood as standards of behavior that ought to be followed under certain circumstances and the moral reasoning behind such actions. Ethics does not necessarily make people do good; nor is it an attribute that is only exclusive for good people. In fact, there are good people that exhibit unethical behavior, especially when under pressure. Professor and author, Denis Collins, for instance, observed that there are many good individuals who engage in unethical behavior because they ...

Knowing International Politics as Moving Images

According to Carver, the three life worlds that determine international relations include the knower, the state-actors and the ordinary people. In international relations, objects and materials of political nature which are already known to the knower (those with knowledge on the issues at hand) and the state actors (those involved actively in matters concerning state politics) are spread to the ordinary people who are the common people without much knowledge of such matters and who go by what the knowers and the state actors say. The kinds of sources are valued traditionally owing to their higher level of validity. ...

Women in the law enforcement and military have some shared experiences that civilian women do not usually have. The police and military work gives these women more experience in term of skills and expertise or knowledge than their civilian counterparts in important ways. Experiential learning by David Kolb may be important in understanding the differences in the experiences of army or law enforcement and civilian women. This type of learning facilitates education involving direct participation in real life events and settings. It also involves the formation of abstract concepts, reflection and observation, and concrete experience besides concrete experience, reflection ...

Quality Assessment

Scanning technology (3D laser scanner technique) measures the dimension of a precast concrete panel using extraction algorithms to measure boundary points with a compensation model to increase measurement accuracy (Kim et al., 2013). 3D laser scanning converts CAD models into BIM, which identifies scanned objects by ensuring precision for rebar mapping before actual drilling as well as rebar detailing for installing rebar cages (Hajian & Brandow, 2012). Before shipping precast concrete elements, dimensional quality assurance (DQA) is carried out to ensure that there are no dimensional defects using a scanner in an automated process that saves time and labor input ( ...

INCIDENT REPORTING ON THE ACUTE CARE SETTING

Healthcare risk management is an effort that is organized in a bid to identify, evaluate and reduce risk to patients, employees and visitors alike. The biggest asset of a hospital (besides the equipment the hospital owns) is the reputation it holds. The Florida Statute for risk management (Cap 395.0197) requires that each licensed medical facility is to have an internal risk management program led by the risk manager. The risk manager’s duty is to reduce and if possible prevent risk, and to enhance the safety of the patient. The risk manager carries out evaluation and control of risks ...

Introduction Conscience is one of the most commonly experienced psychological faculty of an individual, but is also one of the least understood. For many years, little attention have been given towards understanding conscience; particularly on how it is shaped and who influenced the modern understanding of this concept. Nevertheless, conscience is an important phenomenon that requires significant attention primarily because it impacts all human judgment. The manifestation of conscience delineates man from other animals species as conscience is proof of man’s self-consciousness; an attribute that is only observable among human species. As a learned psychological faculty, ...

A & F Ltd.: Integrating Learning into Mashup Implementations

I. Introduction Organizations are learning differently. Compared to a conventional model by which individuals, work groups and whole organizations used to learn new business processes, current business practice has opened up new potentials for company-wide learning enabled by ICT platforms and applications. The growing collaboration, communication and sharing learning (and fun) experiences in current business practice is, indeed, both evolutionary and revolutionary. The learning behavior of operating businesses is evolutionary by phasing out older modes of learning (e.g. formal professional development, meetings and water cooler chats) and implementing similar platforms and applications (e.g. interactive, collaborative, user-friendly wikis). Thus, by ...

Introduction

Mega-Events such as the World Cups and Olympics are so huge that it requires almost creating a temporary city for the massive event, with power, toilets, waste, water, and transport, among a host of other things. Such an event is inherently environmentally unsustainable, as it produces masses of waste and consumes unnecessary resources. While having no event is the most environmentally friendly event, there are many reasons countries hold why mega-events. However, it is beyond a doubt that those conducting the event have a social and environmental responsibility to reduce their impacts. This is true for all events, whether ...

Introduction

Who wins and who loses? The one who wins has reflected his or her ability to influence the behavior of others. This is power. As defined by Robert Dahl, a leading political theorist, power is the ability of one to get another to do something he or she would not otherwise do as a result of the will imposed by the other, where adherence is driven by obligation rather than force. Power is dynamic, relative, situational and multidimensional. According to Steve Lukes, there are three dimensions of power. The first dimension of power is intentional and active, and involves ...

Introduction

The journey by which an individual develops is both very personal and also very predictable. It is predictable by way of accomplishing certain milestones at particular times. Development is marked by these milestones and through them, an individual's development is able to be termed “normal’ or “abnormal.” However, it is personal in that each person achieves these milestones at different times in their development. The similarities between the development of each person allow for the timeline of development to be documented and analyzed.

Technologies such as articulation attract observation to the representations, practices, effects, and experiences that constitute them. Others such as assemblage heighten to this comprehension by drawing awareness to the methods that these representations, practices, effects, and practices articulate to use a particular dynamic shape with larger cultural outcomes. The notion of the assemblage may best be acknowledged by thinking about the term constellation, which is applied by Guattari and Deleuze when they speak about assemblage. For instance, a group of heavenly physiques such as the Big Dipper takes a particular form: it chooses, draws together, marks out, and covers ...

Egocentrism is simply a heightened degree of self-consciousness and self-awareness. David Elkind’s work was mostly focused on adolescent psychology. Therefore, his version of egocentrism was mainly in adolescents. According to Elkind, adolescents have the inability to perceive the difference between what they think of themselves and what people think of them. His theory traces its roots from Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, which presents an argument that due to the changes adolescents undergo, they can conceptualize their thoughts and conceive those of other people. This is a buildup of what Elkind provides in that he brings in ...

Lifelong Learning in the United States and Japan

Lifelong learning is a concept that emerged in the 1960s after intellectual radical student movements demanded new modes of education that encourage pluralism, diversity, and individual freedom (Young & Rosenberg, 2006). According to the Commission of the European Community, the concept embodies formal learning, informal learning, and non-formal learning. Formal learning is carried out in recognized educational and training settings and results in the acquisition of legally recognized academic qualifications. Nonformal learning takes place where one works or within the activities of civil societies or organizations and one does not get legally recognized qualifications. Informal learning occurs as a consequence ...

Emily Dickinson is an American poet, who is probably the most recognizable name in American poetry. Not much is known of her motivation regarding her poems as only 12 of the 1800 she had written were published during her life time and she left little in the way of explaining her thoughts regarding what she had written. What is known is that she did not think the majority of her poems were worth public consumption and had told her sister Lavinia (Vinnie) to dispose of them after her death. This was probably due to her poems being heavily altered ...

Introduction

The notion of "nothing" is one of the most important and controversial concepts in the history of humankind. Its etymology is quite interesting for the consideration, as it can discover many different mysteries associated with the most important knowledge. In addition, the perception of this idea may be absolutely controversial, if one talks about it in the framework of religion and philosophy of the Western and the Eastern worlds. Nothing is everything, and at the same time, it is a lack of everything. This notion has a negative connotation; it denies everything to what it is opposed; moreover, it ...

Jean Piaget's cognitive theory is an extrapolation of developmental psychology in children that explains the stages through which children develop. The theory is defined by a tripartite composition of; schemas, adaptation processes, and stages of development. Schemas, the building blocks of knowledge, are the settings of the brain for absorption of knowledge, a kind of a page where a child writes new information. Adaptation processes include assimilation and accommodation of information, whereby, assimilation happens when new information can be easily absorbed by an existing schema. In the case where new information cannot be absorbed in an existing schema, the ...

Two needs for forensic assessment in civil forensic cases

Two important types of civil cases in which forensic psychological assessment may be required are worker’s compensation and custody hearings. In the former, the client is usually asking for some sort of monetary compensation for damages that have been caused by their employees. In the second one, there is usually an underage person whose custody is being determined by the courts, as his or her parents are going through a process of separation. Obviously, these are caricatures of the complex real cases that real forensic psychologists have to face. Nevertheless, they will serve as models to explain the ...

Final Essay: Robert Bresson’s Dictum & Film Analysis of “A Man Escaped”

Introduction The modern film-viewer may anticipate feeling abashed, or risk feeling bored when scrutinizing an old, black-and-white movie that lacks an action package. However, Robert Bresson’s film made in 1956, A Man Escaped, offers a compelling example of filmmaking skills which captivate the attention of its audience. One of Director Robert Bresson’s favorite dictums asserts that “What is for the eye must not duplicate what is for the ear” (“Notes on Sound”). Control of narrative space, and command of sound perspective strategies in the film demonstrate an exercise of the filmmaker’s philosophy. The film analysis herein, ...

Abstract

Forensic Science has long found important application in a criminal investigation, and its correct usage will enhance its effectiveness in crime detection. The use of forensic science in intelligence has allowed the possibility of crime scene reconstruction, identification of a suspect and the elements therein. Law enforcement has gone a notch higher in crime investigation in the sense that scouring for limited evidence at crime scenes has been made possible long after the perfect crime has taken place. The sole purpose of finding the obscure evidence is to have the criminals responsible brought to book and as a result, ...

Ningbo’s newly completed Central Business District (CBD) belies its status as one of China’s oldest cities. The austere downtown landscape is the equivalent of architecture’s white-washed wall: a place of erasure, forgetting, and dubious progress.

A lot has been said about the construction of the Big Dig. The highs and lows but most strikingly the death of the woman when concrete slabs from the ongoing construction fell on her car as she was heading to the airport and the four deaths of workers in the Big Dig while at work(Poole & Samuel, 2011). Another matter of concern is the large costs of $14 billion it took to construct the 8 lane road from an initial estimated cost of $2 billion(Smith, 2007). A cost that the government is still struggling to pay off and ...

Challenges of Multiculturalism

In a world with a large number of issues undergoing the complicated process of resolving like racial and gender discrimination, it is of no wonder that heated debates and arguments have been happening in all corners of the society.

I believe that learning and creativity are closely intertwined. In our everyday life, every person probably experiences learning at one point or the other. Learning is integral to life. There are a myriad experiences and activities that are new to each and every person every day. As a child I learnt how to speak a ride bicycle with the help of my friends. It took a while but eventually I was able to balance myself on the two wheels: something I believed impossible. When I finally tested myself on a motorcycle in my teenage years, the only skill I ...
