Introduction As a child, the mind is easily in awe and wonder about the simplest or most basic experiences. Experts argue that this may be the case because children’s brains are wired differently compared to when they grow up as adults. When children grow up, their brain physiology and chemistry change so as to accommodate other sections of the brain that are necessary for adulthood. Consequently, individual loses her child-like wonder when experiencing ordinary events as an adult. Therefore, childhood is a time when the brain focuses on allowing the child to develop by ...

Legal Positivism Under the direction of legal positivism understood in law, which advocates limited jurisprudence the task of studying the law in force with the formal dogmatic positions. The emergence of legal positivism refers to the first third of the XIX century and it was associated with the processes of approval of industrial capitalism in Western Europe. A crucial role is played by the processes of formation in the most developed countries of the national market, demanded the elimination of the vestiges of medieval particularism, expanding the scope of legal regulation of public relations and the establishment of a ...

In order to ensure peace and prosperity of a country, most governments have employed the use of stringent rules and regulations to govern people. However, some people stray away from the common perception of government and embrace anarchy. Anarchy is basically opposite of what the government stands for, anarchism is a political ideology (Carter, 1971) that holds the state undesirable and harmful while advocating for stateless institutions. The view of anarchists stray away from the commons masses and more often they tend to go extreme and cause social disturbance and unrest (Gage, 2009)as was the case of the ...

Introduction:

Nanobiotechnology serves as an imperative technique in the development of clean, nontoxic, and eco-friendly procedures for the synthesis and congregation of metal NPs having the intrinsic ability to reduce metals by specific metabolic pathways. Silver nanoparticles are particularly interesting nanoscale systems due to the ease with which they can be synthesised and modified chemically. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been widely researched due to their interesting size and shape-dependent properties [26]. These novel properties can be tailored by controlling their size, shape, composition, structure and crystallinity. Due to their size features and advantages over available anti-microbial properties, chemical imaging ...

(Author’s Full Name) (Institution Name) In times of global economic turmoil, an ever-expanding population and scarcity of resources, competition is getting tougher by the minute. Financial stability has now become the sole purpose of one’s existence, and this shift in priorities not only fuels conglomerates and promotes corporate culture, but also prompts individuals to explore illicit means to maximize their net wealth; the most common example being money laundering. Money laundering is the concealment of money, which is obtained through illegal means. The crime is systematically pursued by both individuals and corporations seeking to evade tax or ...

A negotiation is nothing but a basic form of human interpersonal communication. A negotiation happens between two individuals when one person wants something from another person and vice-versa (Shell, 2006). An effective business negotiation aims at a win-win situation for both the parties sitting across the negotiating table. On the other hand, business negotiation in the context of relationships is more about understanding each other better than closing any deals. Interestingly, the dining table often becomes the negotiating table within relationships. More importantly, negotiating within relationships is very sensitive as it is likely to taint relationship between individuals. Because ...

The classification system that groups vertebrates according to each of the classes that have been mentioned above utilizes genetics, anatomy, and the evolutionary relationships. Animals are classified starting with the kingdom which is a large body that encompasses animals that have similar characteristics and end up with ...

Introduction

According to Jones and Libicki (2013), Border and Transport Security is an important component of a nation’s security effort, which forms a critical component of the protection of citizens from terrorists and other forms of destruction. Massey (2012) holds the same opinion with the only difference being the introduction of a systems approach perspective. This way, Massey (2012) suggests that Border and Transportation Security (BTS) appears as a “series of concentric circles that from a shell-like structure in which the outer shell is comprised of all the preventive efforts operating beyond the country’s borders” (p.6). Therefore, BTS ...

Abstract

Artefacts have been suggested as the primary points of insights into the culture and customs of a civilization and the way they interact with the world around them. Whilst many of the objects in question convey spiritual messages in terms of idols and iconography, it is important to consider the ways in which the objects communicate on an implied level also; for example, jade stone is one particular inclusion within many Eastern Asian ceremonies and ceremonial pieces and had been considered within these cultures’ as a precious stone, but also, for its ability to preserve an individuals spirit. As ...

In his article, ‘Honesty in Negotiations', Chris Provis alludes that there has been a consistently prevailing ethical belief that the concept of honesty should at all times remain unconditional. As a result, a good participant in a negotiation must always resist the common temptation towards the engagement in practices that would be deemed as dishonest. This is a significant aspect that should be applicable even in circumstances where the negotiator is dealing with an individual whose honesty is under a cloud of doubt. As postulated by Chris Provis, giving a warning to the negotiating partner in the effect that ...

English astronomer W. Herschel discovered planetary nebulae in about 1783. Nebulae received the name "planetary" on account of their external similarity with the images of distant planets, light wheels of which are different from the point images of the stars. “A planetary nebula is a beautiful object created during the final stages of the life of a star whose birth mass was between 1 and 8 solar masses” (“Planetary Nebulae”). A planetary nebula is an astronomical object consisting of an ionized gas shell and the central star, a white dwarf. All planetary nebulae originate from stars that are in ...

Fuel Cell Technologies in Passenger Cars

Fuel Cell Technology The last decade is characterized by the rapid development of research activity in the field of fuel cells, thus, creating the conditions for their uptake in electric systems. The basic fuel cells’ operating principle has been known for 150 years. However, a variety of technical and financial problems had kept them on the margins of technological applications (Brandon & Hart, 1999). The basic difference between a fuel cell and batteries is that while batteries store energy, fuel cells directly convert a fuel’s chemical energy into electricity by an electrochemical reaction (i.e. Without requiring combustion or movement ...

Issues in Law, Ethics and Corporate Governance: A Case Study of PharmaCARE’s Activities in Colberia

George Herbert (1593-1633) adopted the Metaphysical style of poetry from Donne but in a simpler manner. His famous poem “Death” is an example of the poetry that uses rhetorical forms of writing like a paradox, hyperbole, and conceits. The poem constitutes two parts that have a contradicting view of death. The First part presents death as a fearsome being through the use of hideous expressions and imagery. The second part presents death as a friend and a passage to a better life. The last three stanzas give hope to Christians through the works of Jesus Christ. Through Christ’s ...
