Introduction

Japan is reported to have the world’s third largest economy, which gives it an essential role in the global community. This calls for the need to understand the Japanese people’s self-concept and how they hold themselves up as individuals and as members of the society. It has been widely established that self-concept is far from being a static perception, rather it is a changeable system which is generally a result of an individual’s social relationships. It is observed that people normally hold a different perception of themselves as individuals, and as a social group member. Consequently, ...

Abstract

The question of memory has been an interesting one in psychology for some time. Brown-Peterson hypothesized that distraction tasks have a role to play in how well our memory works, and that this can be measured by a simple task. This research uses a modified version of their experiment to assess their hypothesis. The task involves memorizing a three letter trigram and then taking part in a backwards counting task that was designed as a distractor. 112 participants took part in this experiment. They were asked to complete twenty control trials in which they had to continue counting backwards ...

Gender Roles in the Same Sex-Marriage

Introduction The issue of same-sex parenting is has been hotly debated and subjected to different views. Some people argue that partners in same-sex marriages should be allowed to raise children while others are of the contrary opinion. Nevertheless, it is now clear that the issue of same-sex parenting tends to move from the obscured fringes to what seems like the rolling center of the family-policy debate (Meezan & Rauch, 2005). The issues surrounding parent-child relationships in same-sex marriages are many. Ranging from the identity of the children to the division of gender roles, the same-sex parents tend to face challenges ...

The main aim of writing papers is to argue out an opinion or report about a certain matter. Scientific papers, especially research papers are different because they provide new findings in a hitherto unknown subject. It is because of this nature that they require special structural and linguistic formulas which will enable them to present the new information in a clear and concise manner. An analysis of the article "Academic work, the Internet and U.S. college students" by Jones et al published in Internet and Higher Education shows how structural and linguistic structures contribute to the clear presentation of new information ...

Writing is not for everyone. Writing is a self-discipline exercise, a test of resistance, a neverending battle between yourself and the blank void that is the space you are writing in. Many people find it difficult just to write a couple of sentences, imagine writing 2, 7, 200 blank pages that stare at you, mock you, and defy your self-esteem. But we're not here to create a support group on how writing is very difficult, boo-hoo, and cry about it; we're here to discuss something: If writing is so hard, why are there writers? What is the role of this person that challenged him ...

Tillot et al. (2013) identifies that nursing shortage is a result of an aging workforce, aging population, job dissatisfaction, shortage within the nursing faculty and the lack of an engaging and collaborative environment is care settings. Tillot et al. (2013) utilized a systematic review of past literature aimed at assessing the factors that deny the workers an opportunity to engage their colleagues constructively in practice. The study notes that the management should focus on developing an environment where communication and staff collaboration and engagement is considered a primary element of the organizational culture.

Critiquing Quantitative and Qualitative Studies

Several research techniques are available all with the aim of achieving precise data or information or data about something. Quantitative technique, sometimes referred to as true science, involves the use of mathematical and statistical methods in the analysis and drawing useful information from a specific set of data (Davies, 2009). On the other hand, qualitative is a type of technique used to study behavior and habits portrayed by humans under different environments. The critique is aimed at juxtaposing the two techniques involved in the field of research with critical analysis of the two methods.

Introduction

The physiological and emotional impacts of stress have been widely discussed in the fields of social and health psychology. It is no longer a secret that exposure to stress carries a bevy of physiological and psychological detriments, yet the existing research on the best ways to mitigate the detrimental effects of stress is not as conclusive. While stress is frequently studied, the wide variety of operational definitions of stress, as well as the wide variety of stressors in existence make it difficult to create conclusive research. While there is no “one size fits all” approach to stress mitigation, there are some ...

For the past 30 years overweight and obesity among Australians has been on a gradual increase, with 60% of adults categorized as overweight and more than 25% obese (National Health and Medical Research Council, 2013). The obese are perceived to be personally responsible for the cause of their own state. Changing the negative attitudes towards obese people, while trying to instill a view of empathy, has been somewhat unsuccessful (Gapinski, Schwartz, & Brownell, 2003; Teachman et al., 2003). This negative attitude encourages stereotypes that the obese and overweight are unmotivated and lazy, as well as many other negative characteristics (Persky & ...

Most equipment used in healthcare centers produce harmful radiations affecting many medical staffs. A quality designed textile could assist in blocking these radiations from entering our body and causing harms (Akopian et al 1999). The current lead aprons available in the market have shown many problems. In some instances, workers complain of back pains due to the weight of these garments. In addition, the lead aprons used today have low level protection exposing workers to most radiations and have proven insufficient in providing the necessary protection exposing healthcare staff to radiation risks (United States Department for Labor 2003; Allianz ...

Healthcare workers are exposed to a lot of radiations coming from the sun and artificial sources. These radiations cause many health problems to the affected individuals and their generations. The magnitude of the skin to resist some radiations depends on the climatological factors and personal sensitivity to Ultra Violet Rays (UVR). Ultraviolet Rays are the most dangerous in the electromagnetic spectrum and the wavelength bands. This project describes the tests and methods necessary for establishing a radiation protection program on the skin using fabrics. The utilization of intelligent medical textiles in the healthcare centers has a enormous potential of changing the healthcare ...
