Abstract
This paper examines the air pollution problem in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Heavy pollution in the city has become a concern because of the increasing cases of health problems. Many babies are being born with defects in vital organs, pregnant women are miscarrying and the level of respiratory disease cases has risen. Although burning of coal in homes, during winter, causes pollution other sources of pollution contribute as well. The high altitude and the mountains surrounding Ulaanbaatar worsen pollution in the city. In winter, the Siberian anticyclone causes the city to have temperature inversion and high pressure, which do not Continue reading...

Innovative Enterprise

Investment in innovation has always been thought of as an organizational process that aims at utilizing resources that are productive enough in order to create economic growth of an enterprise. According to Lazonick, investment in these productive resources usually establish a suitable foundation for economic growth (Lazonick, 2). Schumpeter, in his theory of Economic Development, noted that there is a purpose and need for every enterprise to invest in ‘superior’ productive resources that can create new set of goods using different processes of production (Schumpeter, 7). These, as he noted, must be investments geared towards innovation.
Enterprise innovation is Continue reading...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) or dementia of Alzheimer's type (DAT) is one of the most common pathologies of the central nervous system and psyche. It usually affects persons in the old age and today an estimated of 500,000 Canadians suffer from Alzheimer’s or related dementia, over 70,000 being under 65 and 50,000 under 60. Neurodegenerative process is accompanied by progressive loss of memory and cognitive abilities decline. AD inevitably leads to death of the patient, and there are still no drugs to prevent or cure this disease. Incidence increases parallel with an increase in life expectancy. Continue reading...

Infant care and production in tamarins

Infant care and production in Tamarins: An Introduction
Parenting patterns vary extensively both amongst human and primates. Cooperative care is rather unusual in the primates, however; it is found mainly in tamarins (Saguinus oedipus), the small monkeys. This report delves into infant care and production in tamarins, in a social system, explaining the methods they maintain their relationships in a cooperative care.

When offered an option for caretaking of mother or the father, infants generally prefer the father, who offer more care. Hence, in biparental and cooperative breeding groups, the infants do not create a major fondness to the Continue reading...

Franchising refers to a situation under which a business relationship involves an individual or a company owning a system, a franchisor, granting a business license to an individual or a company mandated to operate a franchise system or store on a casual basis. This person or company granted the license is usually referred to as a franchisee to the granting company or an individual involved on the business relationship. This would involve authenticating the use of the franchisor’s trademarks, operating systems and brand at a previously agreed fee. This is normally done under a series of specified agreements Continue reading...

Introduction

Disputes within the workplace may arise between an employer and employees. It is such disputes that are referred to as labor disputes. The legal regime contemplates such disputes and goes as far as providing mechanisms for their resolution. This is perhaps in appreciation of the role of the law in solving economic, as well as social problems for the overall benefit of the citizenry(August, Mayer, & Bixby, 2012). Terms and conditions of employment may be the subject of labor disputes. The focus of this discourse is to illuminate the appropriate roles that the management should discharge before, during and Continue reading...

News organizations around the globe would always report instances of violence from households due to misunderstandings to the battlefield due to political, religious or social undertakings. In lieu of these violent conflicts, several methods have been applied to try to diffuse the tensions and introduce peace such as negotiations, armed conflict and treaties. However, while these methods can be effective at times, some companies believe that there is no need to undergo the grueling political dealings to foster peace. In order to sell both their products and advocate peace, companies use television advertisements to show that their products can Continue reading...

Current research on bystander intervention has produced many outcomes indicating that the presence of other people in a critical situation, especially bullying, reduces the probability that an individual will help. Diffusion of responsibility contributes to the bystander effect. This implies that a person does not feel the need to help someone in need if several people are also present since the responsibility is among those present. Most people believe that there exist safety in numbers, but there are times when a large crowd does not support a victim. According to Barlińska, Szuzter & Winiewski (2013), “Bystanders are the social Continue reading...

Poetry was born intimately close to music, therefore that the term song was applied to compositions in verse sang by poets. This is from the fact that the first’s poems were transmitted in the companionship of a musical instrument, frequently a lire (therefore the term lyrics). This way, the intonation used while reading a poem was very close to the musical bars that served as background to the recital.
Taking a look to some modern songs, it can be observe that they are subject of a rigorous and studied metric that fits perfectly the lyric with musical notes. Continue reading...

The constitution remains emphatic on the need of freedom of speech in a democratic environment. Citizens need the right information to enable them perform their civic duty. The freedom of expression promotes individual self-realization and remains essential in the search for truth (Laraia, 2009). People’s freedom of speech enables them to participate in shaping the public affairs of a country. Failure to provide this right of freedom of speech a free society can fall in a retrogressive regime. Curtailing the freedom of speech can negate them the opportunity of making their contribution in the society.
Prior restraint suggests Continue reading...

Introduction

In this paper, the application of knowledge management (KM) techniques in solving problems in an organization is explored. In the problem at hand, the efficiency and effectiveness of the long-term care (LCT) facility has been compromised. First, patients’ information is entered into the wrong charts. Secondly, there is a new policy whereby Medicare will not cater for hospital acquired infections. Thirdly, patient (resident) satisfaction levels in the LCT facility have dropped significantly from 90% to 60%. As such, this paper will employ knowledge management in improving patient satisfaction levels. To be specific, three factors of knowledge management will be Continue reading...

As sunshine moves through the atmosphere, it is impacted by air molecules, clouds and particulates, resulting in scattering of light. The extent to which light is dispersed by air molecules depends on the wavelength of the different inherent colors. Colors with shorter wavelengths are spread more than those with longer wavelengths. Blue is most susceptible to scattering thus explaining why the sky is blue. The visibility of light scattered by air molecules depends on the intensity of the light beam (University of Arizona).
On the other hand, when the atmosphere has matter like particulates and cloud drops, there is Continue reading...

Introduction

Knowledge management in the healthcare domain may be regarded as an integration of formal techniques and methods in order to ease the utilization, dissemination, preservation, development, identification, acquisition and creation of the diverse aspects of the knowledge assets of the healthcare organization (Bordoloi & Islam, 2012). Delivery of excellent healthcare services requires optimal knowledge management and thereby having an established knowledge management process aids to enhance the process performance. Past studies analyzing the importance of knowledge management in healthcare depict that this process is far more complicated in the healthcare domain. This is mainly as a result of diverse perspectives Continue reading...

Solid dispersion can be defined as a cluster of solid creations made up of at least two distinguished components one being a hydrophobic drug and the other a hydrophilic matrix which can take any form depending on the crystalline or amorphous nature of the solids used (see figure 1). In the context of pharmaceuticals, this technology was developed to help improve the solubility and bioavailability of oral drugs. Studies have indicated that a score of patients prefers oral drugs for their simplicity in administration hence they show more compliance in comparison to other types of drugs administered in different Continue reading...

Introduction

Retinopathy is a frequent complication of diabetes mellitus especially when blood sugar is poorly controlled. The retina is the part of the eye that transforms light into signals transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve (NHS UK 2013). The brain interprets the electrical signals into images corresponding to what was seen. While sufficient blood supply is needed for the retina to function optimally, chronic hyperglycaemia causes ischemia and bleeding in the retinal microvasculature leading to the formation of new capillaries meant to sustain blood circulation in the retina (Vithian & Hurel 2010). However, the new capillaries are fragile and Continue reading...

Abstract

The Cloud and Grid computation systems are different computation services or platforms that can help in different tasks. Cloud computing started in late 1990s. It is the form of TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) based on advanced development and integration of computer technologies such as huge memory, fast microprocessor, reliable system architecture, and high-speed network. Cloud computing are helpful in solving Internet-level computation problems, which are somewhat different from those of Grid computing. On the other hand, Grids started working in the mid 1990s to compute the large-scale problems with the help of network based resource-sharing commodity machines. Such Continue reading...

The contact between the human cultures is increasing for many unknown decades. People are coming closer to one another due to the contact between the cultures. However, the nature of contact differs greatly, but the contacts are established in order to understand and develop relations among different people belonging to different countries. Media, cultural imperialism, cultural icons, cultural hegemony, diffusion, acculturation, and transculturation play a significant role in the contact between cultures.
The cultural imperialism approach to the communication considers that the media have great significance on the cultural values. The countries with efficient media become capable of capturing Continue reading...

The quip that, while man was born free but everywhere is in chains, attempts to trace and explain how the civilized man has evolved from the natural man. Accordingly, the natural man limitation and greatest asset is his body. The body serves both as an essential tool for surviving the day to day upheavals while also remaining a tool for safeguarding man’s life. Knowing neither good nor evil, the natural man is free from moral restrictions. As such, the natural man is as free as he wishes, constrained only by his ability.
In contrast, the civilized man is Continue reading...

Introduction

After the September 11 bombings in New York and Washington, the United States tightened their counterterrorism efforts to thwart further plans of terrorist groups. This does not mean that policies were ineffective before the attacks, but there were murmurs of intelligence failures. It was argued that it was the Central Intelligence Agency’s and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s faults for not being able to intercept the plans of the groups that attacked the World Trade Center (Lewis, 2004).

International trade

Technology is a critical factor in production and international trade. The competitiveness of a country correlates with the level of technological development. Posner’s technology gap model explains the trade that exists between an innovative country that comes up with a new technology and the country that imports products from the innovative country. According to Posner, a country that has a technology lead will benefit from international trade so long as it keeps the lead. Due to the economic differences between countries, technological advancement and product innovation do not take place simultaneously in countries (Krugman & Obstfeld, 2012).
Innovative countries Continue reading...

Peace that people enjoy nowadays uninterrupted is, of course, not a new phenomenon. However, what is interesting is that the humanity has lived only several hundred years without warring for whatever reason could bring large armies face-to-face in a lethal confrontation for questionable reasons. Besides soldiers, the brute force of conflicts, the main tools of war have always been weapons indicating the state of technological advancement of nations, being the litmus paper and the benchmarks of progress. Thousands years ago, there was no such concept as a long-lasting peace, and the weaponry was a lot more different than it Continue reading...

Abstract
With the advent of technology, the level of invasion into the territory of our individual privacies has increased significantly. Fancy gadgets have crept into changing rooms, lockers, washrooms and in some cases public places to record the most intimate acts, which when revealed would embarrass any victim. In spite of the best efforts of the state legislators, the laws do not sufficiently address the core issues. Even the judicial pronouncements lack sufficient foresight in laying down the gauntlet for the peeping toms. The situation is clearly calling out for implementing more Continue reading...

Membrane transport refers to the mechanisms by which ions and other small molecules move across the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane. The lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane allows the passage of certain molecules down their concentration gradient. This passage depends on the charge, size and polarity of the molecule. Non-polar molecules and small polar molecules diffuse easily across the cell membrane by the process of simple diffusion. However, it becomes difficult for charged polar molecules to enter the cell even though the concentration of the ion is more outside the cell when compared to the cytosol. At Continue reading...
