Summary: This article was about Information security governance and Risk Management in CISSP domain. In the article some basic guiding principles for the security are highlighted, the security's fundamental principles revolve around the CIA i.e. confidentiality, integrity and availability. Confidentiality confirms that the data is confidential through personal identifying information, integrity ensures the accuracy of the data and it is not modified by anyone else and finally availability ensures that whenever the data is needed, it is available i.e. no DOS attacks or any other attacks stops the access of the data. The risk management talks about the analysis ...

Introduction

Much recent publicity surrounding climate change has focused mostly on global warming, but little direct correlation has been given in the media with regard to the impacts that environmental pollution has on climate change, and also on human health. Although studies of pollution and the environment have been carried out since the time of the Industrial Revolution, it only relatively recently that attempts to measure environmental on a global scale have been undertaken. Environmental pollution is a major cause of global concern, not only for the effects that it has on the physical environments, but also for its potential ...

Abstract

Stress has been part of human life ever since the beginning of mankind. Initially, people stressed themselves out hunting for food, finding places to rest, and inexplicability of natural phenomena. With the globalisation of industries and the presence of multinational companies all over the world, organizations may need to consider adopting certain policies to match up to other similar organizations. Stress in organisations has become a major issue in the UK and most organisations now have policies and procedures to help employees avoid this and interventions are often in place to support them. It is not known whether ...

Most civilizations in the world draw much of their historical past from stories and tales that have been passed down through generations. The study of these stories have given us the opportunity to explore in-depth the kind of lives that people in the past used to live and the circumstances in which most decisions that shaped the world as we know it were made. Filipino culture is characterized by numerous stories and myths of heroes and heroines who were revered for their wisdom, supernatural powers and deity like characteristics that enabled them to act in such a phenomenal manner that ...

Islamic Environmental Ethics

Introduction The new technological developments increase mobility as well as comfort, but might have major harmful effects to the environment besides risking human health. The harmful effects of technological developments to the environment have resulted in what many have termed as environmental crises. The environmental crises are a threat to human beings as well as other living organisms. The existing evidence shows that the technical solutions have essentially not been resulting in outcomes that are satisfactory. Thus, it is critical for us to know how we should behave towards the environment. It is worth mentioning that, among the theoretical ...

In the sociology, there are important concepts used to analyze social phenomena in order to reveal their contingency. Modern sociological concepts are mainly compared to a set of analytical tools. These are in turn used to evaluate epiphenomena in order to reveal underlying forces and categories. Therefore, postmodern concepts can be viewed as a set of special effects used to reveal the contingency of the phenomena. As seen in the special effects of various films, the audience is not asked to believe in the reality of the effect, but they are suspended on the belief in the reality. The difference ...

The character of Socrates in Aristophanes’s Cloud resembles the character he put across in Plato’s Apology. In both cases, Socrates is a master sophist, the ideal philosopher. He is well versed in sophistry, science, rhetoric, and atheism. He appears removed from reality, is ready to defend his stand however outrageous it sounds and refuses to give in to coercions by his critics, students and authorities. Socrates maintains the character of a model philosopher and intellect who combines simplicity with an air of importance to converse convincingly with his challengers regardless of the nature of the topic at hand. ...

Summary

Summary of the Article The article explains the importance of having a set of a body of literary works that target young children and teenagers. The author of the article uses the first person voice to establish a direct conversation with the readers. She argues that much focus has been given to adult literature to the extent that childhood experiences are often ignored. However, it is these childhood experiences that shape the character of adult people. The author thus advocates for a shift in focus to the significance of early childhood encounters. She discusses a series of literary tools that can be used ...

Hurricanes and Tornados

The accessible studies highlights that although Hurricanes and Tornados are two different natural occurrences of diverse magnitude, both are damaging windstorm characterized with regrettable impact on human lives and resources. Environmental experts have described hurricane as a huge air mass that can be more than 1000 miles while tornado is a seldom occurrences that is one mile across. Despite understanding the trends and the impacts of these two phenomena, global societies and most specifically international environmental experts have taken imperceptible measures to avert their outcome. Based on my understanding, tornado is a rapidly spinning of air that emerges because of a thunderstorm ...

Earthquakes

Earthquakes produce vibrations that are recorded, detected and measured with the use of the seismographs. Seismographs amplify the ground motions by a million times more than the motions beneath making a zigzag transcribes that are known as the seismograms. This data is relevant for the determination of the focal depth of an earthquake the time and the epicenter of the phenomena. In addition, approximations can be complete with relative sizes and amounts of force it produced. The focus hypocenter of the earthquake is the origin of the fault where rapture initiates. The depth in kilometers and map locations in longitudes and ...

The human inclination to seek explanations for the strange and unusual is as old as human civilization. The supernatural has always provided a convenient rationale for forces that are beyond human control and understanding. War, disease and other natural phenomena are misfortunes that have been ascribed to the influence of witchcraft, of a force directed by a malevolent intelligence bent on subverting the harmony of a godly universe. Patriarchal European society has historically assigned witchcraft a decidedly feminine cast, an image that was formalized during the Middle Ages by the church and in print. The result was centuries of gender-based persecution, torture and violent ...

Anne Bradstreet and Emily Dickinson are certainly among the first group of women poets to emerge in America. Before their emergence, poetry was a male-dominated affair attracting little attention from women. As a result, it is not a mystery that both poets (Bradstreet and Dickinson) share some striking resemblance in the themes that they tackle, and incorporate heavy symbolism in their poems. However, each poet conveys her experiences within her historical context. For example, Anne Bradstreet inclines her poems towards puritanism while Emily Dickinson inclines her poems towards romanticism. Although Anne Bradstreet and Emily Dickinson share similar views on the role of ...

The modern scientific method dates all the way back to the days of Isaac Newton who, ironically, only went to university because his parents thought he was too poor of a farmer to make anything of himself – so they sent him to read theology (Weisstein, 2011). The climate of research and inquiry produced one of the most transformational minds in all of the history of science. In addition to his laws of motion, he also developed the basis of a scientific method that still guides research and experimentation done in the present day.

Newton’s scientific method boiled down to four ...

Abstract

The paper focuses on the current application of differentiation and differential equations. Differentiation involves evaluating derivatives, while differential equations are equations involving derivatives. Differentiation is useful in optimization of production; cost minimization and profit maximization. This is a direct and practical application in the discipline of management accounting. Moreover, differential equations are useful in modeling natural phenomena, and solving complex problems in physics, such as electromagnetic waves, RLC circuits, population growth, and chemical reactions problems. In addition, electrical apparatus problems, such as the Ohmic heating problem of a thermistor, are modeled using differential equations.
