There are times when one feels that he/she is not in control of a situation leading to the feelings of desirous and eagerness. Such feelings, in most cases, are always related to awful occurrences in one’s life. Canonically, such feelings- feelings encompassing a wide range of beliefs and behavior, have always been considered superstitious owing to the fact that they lack a strong empirical base and justification and can singly be traced to incorrect establishment of cause and effect. Of the plethora of superstitions in existence today, Friday the 13th has risen to be one of the most dreaded. Just as the ...

Question 1 of 5 20.0 Points

Responding to emergency situation requires constant preparation in anticipation of an untoward event. Auf der Heide’s disagreement to the assumption that disaster response is an extension of daily emergency procedures is apparently true to my perspective. This is because disaster constitutes a test for emergency response and to be able to make an adequate response, planning is essential to the process (Auf Der Heide, 2005). On a more personal ...

Introduction

Automobile technology has managed to come a long way. A few decades ago, automobile makers were boasting about airbags being the latest state-of-the-art technology in car safety.

Introduction

Advancing in the global economy implies adjusting to increased competition, which requires higher productivity. Yet, increased productivity occurs when the occupational environment offers safe and pleasant working conditions. Contrarily, working environment highly exposed to occupational risks and hazard that may cause accidents, illness and even death lose their competitiveness at the cause of absenteeism, employees’ insurance expenditures orpotential trials (Stranks, 2005).

Statistics conducted by International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations (UN) agree in their estimations that there are 279 million occupational accidents and 160 million diseases associated with the working ...

The two towns Herculaneum and Pompeii together with some other small towns and villages that were located south of Italy were covered in 24 hrs by disastrous eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The catastrophe terminated the life in the cities but preserved them and they were later rediscovered approximately 1,700 years later. Arguably, these were ordinary roman cities that ended in an extraordinary way and therefore they have become a reflection through which historian can view and understand the entire roman civilization.

According to Capasso and Gabriella (996), the history of Rome together with its empires covers thousands years. ...

Barry Posen has authored an article titled “A Nuclear-Armed Iran: A Difficult but not Impossible Policy Problem”. In this article, Posen explores the nuclear program in Iran. In the last few years, Iran has been engaged in intensive nuclear research and development. In fact, the nation seems to be very well on course to achieve the ability of producing highly enriched uranium that is one of the key elements of nuclear weapons. The capacity to produce enriched uranium would not encompass violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), under the International Atomic Agency (IAEA) safeguards (Posen 3). However, Iran’ ...

Volcanic Activity and Earthquakes

Natural hazards such as earthquakes and volcanoes have led to a substantial shaping of the earth’s surface as well as the environment over millions of years. According to Cusick (7), a volcano is an area where molten rock or magma from the earth’s crust reaches the surface of the earth becoming lava. Volcanic eruptions can be usually effusive and explosive according to the chemistry of the lava. This includes the amount of silica and dissolved gases in the lava. Thick lava has high silica levels while fluid lava has low silica levels. The higher the amount of dissolved gases ...

Sick role is a sociological concept that is used to explain the social behavior the society expects from both people who are sick and those who are around them. The concept was brought up by a researcher known as Talcott Parsons in the 1950’s (Kim, 2010, p. 14). Since then, a number of scholars have done research and added to the Parson’s work. People have done research on the concept in the society on both the sick and the people directly in contact with them to get their views. There are also criticisms of Parsons’ sick role theory. This paper ...

Introduction

Global warming and pollution has led companies to rethink their activities concerning green methods of production. Carbon dioxide emissions are the leading cause of global warming and the dangers of global warming have been documented for a long time. Governments have come up with restrictions on emissions, which have forced companies to re-think the way they do production. Quest carbon capture and storage project is one example of how companies are re-thinking their strategy and practice towards carbon emissions. This project is developed by Shell for its Athabasca oil sands project (AOSP) in Alberta. It is the first carbon capture ...

“ARE RIGHT AND WRONG CONVERTIBLE TERMS, DEPENDANT UPON THE POPULAR OPINION”? : A famous quote by William Lloyd Garrison poses a critical question to each one of us. Certain questions carry a lot of dimension to look through and in such cases there are enough supportive reasons to justify the rightness of each dimension. One such question stands whether it is ethically justifiable to use narcotics to speed up the end of life. Right from its inception the question has been a cause celebre and continues to exist as one. Effective pain relief especially at the end of life has always ...

Generally, preservation is the priority, government does not permit activities that remove, or harvest resources, public lands are devoted clearly in commercial use like mineral development, and national forest policies stand astride between the lines.

National forests or forestlands provide the balance of conservations and the use activities that include outdoor ...

“Nuclear weapons made the world a safer place during the Cold War.”

The answer to the above phrase is Yes and No. Yes because although most of the antagonist conventional forces in the European region had numerical superiority they could not attack countries that had nuclear weapons. Due to the destructive aspect of nuclear weapons, states that did not have such weapons did not want to provoke countries that had nuclear weapons for fear of possible reprisal involving nuclear weapons. Accordingly, countries that possessed nuclear weapons refrained from triggering conventional military engagements with other countries that had nuclear weapons because they feared that such hostilities could escalate to a nuclear level. As ...

There is a relationship between volcanic eruption and the climate of a place. After the eruption, the poisonous sulphur dioxide which is emitted out as a volcanic product, reacts and get oxidized to form sulphate aerosols in the stratosphere, hence affecting the climate adversely (Forster 2007). Volcanic ashes and particles having diameter larger than 2 um also affects the atmosphere. According to Ramaswamy (1996), ozone depletion results when the volcanic aerosols react with the balanced chemistry in the stratosphere. Mid and high latitudes volcanic eruptions create drastic climatic changes. The aerosols here retain over the hemisphere and cause climate to change. For ...

This is no longer the case as people have turned to social media to interact. People are becoming so engrossed with their computers that they fail to visit ...

Introduction

Security of people in the United States remains one of the top priorities of President Barack Obama’s government. It is thus therefore not unusual to find the United States in conflict with nations which tend to threaten world peace. The Iranian and Syrian conflicts are some of the latest examples of this situation. This is because the two nations are suspected to be in possession of nuclear plants which pose a threat to the safety of many people around the world.

New York City is home of more than 8 million people, and this city is not immune to hazards. In fact, the city officials recognize 12 hazards consisting of ...

Analysis of human failure contribution to process risk – The Case of Blowout in the Gulf of Mexico

Abstract

The Gulf of Mexico is considered to have accounted for roughly 90% of the complete offshore drilling in the United States of America in terms of the oil volume that is extracted. This number can be further equated to approximately one-third of the total production of oil in the United States of America. There are more than 50, 000 wells that have been drilled here since the year 1947 and of these 4,000 wells were dug deeper than 1, 000 ft. of water. As of date, more or less 80% of the total offshore drilling happens at a ...

1) What does the toll of two decades (1980-2002) of climate-related disasters tell us about vulnerability and inequality at the global level? (Chapter 3) The inequality at the global scale is very obvious when it comes to the degree of adverse effects that climate-related disasters cause. Accordingly, wealthy nations suffer relatively at a lower level compared to poor or developing nations. The reason behind this is the inability of the latter to respond to such natural calamities in a timely, efficient way. They basically, do not have enough resources to mitigate the damaged done by natural calamities. Timely and sufficient ...

That accidents happen in the workplace because of negligible acts by the company and its employees is without a doubt. However, sometimes accidents are purely unpredictable and can happen even in the most careful of setups. Research has indicated that fatigue is one of the main causes of catastrophes that occur in the workplace. When an individual is fatigued, they are more likely to cause injuries because their thinking ability is considerably reduced. It results from the lack of sleep or too much workload. Fatigue makes an employee vulnerable to dangerous injuries around the office (Biddle, 2009). Research has indicated ...

Flood Zones

- Water is essential for all living beings in life. Water is used for industrial purposes and it also maintains forests.

- According to the FEMA website, a 100 year flood is defined as the term "100-year flood" is misleading. It is not the flood that will occur once every 100 years. Rather, it is the flood elevation that has a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded each year.” This means the probability of 1 % of rain occurring in any given year.

- The two different colours indicate the countries with their flood data available and the countries which ...

Question 1

Widespread atrocities that were witnessed in the end of the twentieth century, and in particular the ones, associated with the NATO intervention in Kosovo, make the issue of humanitarian intervention topical for legal political and international ethical studies. The issue of humanitarian intervention’s morality is frequently viewed as a part of more general question of morality of war, because reality of humanitarian intervention is close to the one of the war (Coady,2002,p. 11). Adherents of different theories of international ethics offer mutually excluding approaches towards acceptability of humanitarian interventions. Grounded on moral universalism, cosmopolitan approach justifies humanitarian ...

There are manifold motivations for seeking academic credentials in Radiation Therapy. Amongst the many reasons are a desire to be involved in healthcare and help people in their most dire hour of need, a dedication to scientific inquiry, and the allure of novel therapeutic interventions for devastating disease.

My specific interest in radiation therapy is a result of my unfortunate familiarity ...

Voluntary Act is a form of crime that results from willing choice as well as independent will. The state statute clearly defines voluntary act as an offence. There have always been arguments on validity of an accident as a voluntary act (Otlowski, 1997). However, analysis of this topic brings in extensive confusion as it is difficult to determine willingness of an individual to cause harm in an accident.

It is extremely difficult to sincerely argue that all accidents are voluntary acts. Accidents are defined by the unwillingness or unpreparedness of an individual in occurrence of an event (Shaw, 2003). In a case ...
