This is because it addresses people’s problems through making them understand their issues. Hence, the therapist helps the patient to formulate alternative solutions for their problems. Most of the problems addressed in therapy are ...

All organizations have to undergo some form of change. Change is usually structural and cultural in nature. When an organization undergoes structural change, it changes its management style and governance type. Some organizations also consider going from centralized to the decentralized structure. Then cultural change also takes place in organizations where the employees are asked to follow different values and change the way they think and act for the organizations. An example of cultural change could be a shift of a company from a traditional or conventional form of management to rational and innovative one. The organizational culture then ...

Introduction

The Internet as one of the most important factors of globalization determines the characteristic features of the latest development. If previously in developed client-oriented economies in the face of fierce competition, the winner was the one, who better and deeply met the needs of consumers, but today these two key parameters were supplemented by the speed in all variety of its determinations. This is the ability to show ads more quickly and more prominent position than its competitors to respond to a client request faster, promptly accept and process an order, deliver faster, etc. If the user goes to ...

Understanding society, and indeed the world, is a complex task that is unlikely to ever be fully achieved. There are various social theories that work to explain the workings of society, three of which are structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. The structural functional approach works on the idea that society is made up of systems that are beneficial to all concerned. However, there are substantial problems with this theory, as it does not acknowledge that certain structures need to change even if they seem to be working for the majority. Conflict theory asserts that society functions based ...

Quality Assessment

Scanning technology (3D laser scanner technique) measures the dimension of a precast concrete panel using extraction algorithms to measure boundary points with a compensation model to increase measurement accuracy (Kim et al., 2013). 3D laser scanning converts CAD models into BIM, which identifies scanned objects by ensuring precision for rebar mapping before actual drilling as well as rebar detailing for installing rebar cages (Hajian & Brandow, 2012). Before shipping precast concrete elements, dimensional quality assurance (DQA) is carried out to ensure that there are no dimensional defects using a scanner in an automated process that saves time and labor input ( ...

Abstract

Computational complexity was introduced and developed by Hartmanis and Stearns in order to provide methods in measuring the degree of complexity or difficulty of computational problems or functions as well as to measure the efficiency of algorithms. It was developed through understanding of numerous complex problems and analysis of the issues within these problems. The history of the subject of computational history started with the theoretical computational model or a machine developed by Alan Turing in during the 1930s. In his paper, he convinced the scientific community that developing an effective algorithm is possible. The Turing machine paved way ...

Introduction

In a landmark case, the judges concluded that for the success of a modern liberal nation, there must be a constitutional protection that ensures that the constitution promotes free expression “by establishing a marketable right to the use of one's expression, copyright supplies and the economic incentive to create and disseminate ideas”. Thus, by implication, copyright is supposed to be “an engine of free expression”. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the accuracy of the claim that copyright is an engine of free expression. The paper will critically assess the original position taken on copyright by the ...

Introduction

The Ebola virus has existed for centuries. Like all life forms and viruses, it has been changing and adapting since the beginning of time to survive.

Each structure holds a particular meaning or function in its architectural design. A brief overview of history of the White Temple at Uruk, Iraq, will reveal that the citizens of this ancient dwelling eventually abandoned the region until approximately 300 AD, due to a ...

Critical Analysis

As Delgado and Stefancic point out, the critical race theory (CRT) as held by most pragmatists and civil rights activists helps in explaining the issue of racism that is so entrenched in the American society’s legal, social, political, and economic systems (23). According to them, race is not a biological but a social construct which means that it is embedded in people as they interact with people from different racial backgrounds. Critical race theory also helps in explaining some of the historical racial injustices such as discrimination that people of color have had to go through for a ...

The Three Basic Functions of Leadership

There is no consensus of view on the functions of leadership. This is due to the fact that description of functions depends on the general concept of leadership. Leadership roles are related to goal accomplishment and to the maintenance and reinforcement of a group. Functions in a given category are instrumental in achieving a given goal or goals of the group (Kekomuller, 2012). The three basic functions of leadership, therefore, are: setting goals, organizing and initiating appropriate actions. In setting goals, a leader is supposed to carry out a creative role of coming up with goals and policies to ...

Introduction

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) involves peripheral circulation, the brain, and the heart. The disease is a primary health issue in many countries around the world (Sawhney, et al., 2012). CVD develops through complex processes involving novel risk markers and common risk factors. Decades of research have demonstrated that a sibling’s or parent’s family history is linked to the development of atherosclerotic CVD (Gupta et al., 2013; Nelson, 2013; Imes and Lewis, 2014), which manifests as peripheral arterial disorder, stroke, and coronary heart disorder (CHD). Various Mendelian disorders have also been shown to contribute to atherosclerotic CVD. Although ...

Philosophy

The “Protect Familia” is a social service organization that intends to reduce and eradicate the practice of domestic violence in the global society gradually. As an organization, we believe that the domestic violence has several root causes, which need to address individually. Out systematic framework is based on three essential theories of social work namely empowerment theory, feminist theory, and Object Relations Theory. Inspiring with the philosophy of the “Domestic Violence Prevention Center”, we also believe that a domestic violence is an outcome of structural inequality, destructive upbringing of a child, feminine discrimination, and lack of constructive interaction between ...

The article, Matrix Management: Not a Structure, A Frame of Mind, was written to establish the idea that in many leading corporations around the world strategic thinking has beaten what the organization can accomplish. Though written in 1990, the authors express concerns of today as they admit business challenges of become more multifaceted than ever expected, and while many companies avoid the typical responses to the expanding market, some still fall back on what they know. This is known as a structural trap and is trying to be avoided, almost too much by companies as they attempt to become ...

Boats that are hauled out of the water for winter or for any kind of mid-season repairs will often need the hull cleaned. Hull cleaning helps protect the boat against typical wear and tear. Depending on the type of boat, hull cleaning time can also be an excellent time to clean and maintain other aspects of the boat as well, including the decks, the head, and the holds. Maintenance of these structures is extremely important as failure can lead to structural failure over time. The company structure will be a sole proprietorship. As the company is primarily owned and ...

Article Reviews

In the introduction of this article, the authors provide their definition of race and claim that other definitions explaining it as an essence or an illusion are not adequate. Race, according to the authors, should be an element of social structure. They establish the perspective and theory of racial formation as an approach to understanding race. Their argument and evidence presented provides a valid explanation of race and racism that is more applicable today than those explanations provided in the past. I also agree with the authors’ contention that race is created by a process of social and historical ...

Cornell University, Country in Arial 9 Roxanne Grenier North America Abstract As of 2014, 38 million people worldwide have been driven out of their own homes by internal instabilities, armed conflict, and outbreaks of violence. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) alone accounts for 2.8 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). In response, relief-driven charitable practices have consequently created a condition of permanent impermanence, perpetuating the problem of dependency, unemployment, and instability. This forced movement of culturally and geographically heterogeneous groups evokes questions of housing stability: How does migration impact the social, economic, and political standing of the refugees? Given ...

Racial inequality has always been rampant in many societies, as it is reflected in white privilege seen not only in the United States but also in Canada, Australia, Israel, and in many countries in Asia and Africa. In white privilege, there is racial advantage on the benefits of the Whites, as they enjoy greater earnings, life expectancies, and access to high-quality education and healthcare services, as compared to the Blacks. This is the effect of what is called stigma—a sociological concept that Erving Goffman developed in his book in the year 1963. Kowal (2011) repeated the words of ...

Problem Statement

There are a number of reasons, defined by the ethical as well as the economic and the political scenes, for the non-diminishing interest in addressing the gap between the rich and the poor. "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" is an aphorism, which outlines the major views on economic inequality and the criticism, seen in academic and business literature, towards the philosophy of free market and capitalism in general. One of the principal works, laying the foundation for the discussion, is the work by Thomas Piketty, Capital in the Twenty-First Century (2014), who places the idea ...

Multiple Choice Questions

Increased erythropoietin production Increased heart rate Increased cardiac output Enhancement in oxygen extraction The answer for this question is b. increased heart rate. A reduction in tissue oxygenation as happens in anemia stimulates increased production of erythropoietin through a complex feedback mechanism. Increased production of erythropoietin enhances erythropoiesis in anemia. Increased extraction of oxygen in anemia is a compensatory mechanism that is mediated by an increase in 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate concentrations. Increased cardiac output is the main hemodynamic compensatory mechanism in anemia that aims to increase blood flow to the body organs. An increase in heart rate ...

Examination of Performance Review Conflict

Examination of Performance Review Conflict Performance review conflict can create serious problems in the public sector. In reviewing an employee’s performance, the supervisor considers self-reported performance assessment, his/her observations of an employee’s work, and feedback from other supervisors and peers who had the opportunity to oversee or observe the work of the employee. However, ratings for each criterion depends, in part, on the subjective interpretation of the supervisor. Rater bias and favoritism based on gender, race, age, physical appearance or attractiveness, personality, and personal relations or interests may influence supervisor ratings. Evaluation results become the basis of ...

Constructivism and structural realism are two theories of IR that seem to differ in their argumentations. The proponents of the structural realism seem to base the establishment of international relations on political powers while the social constructivists argue that international relations are socially constructed. Structural realism supports the decentralization of the international structure and the equality in sovereignty among all states or international actors. However, in the constructivism theory, the international relations seem to be grounded on social interactions, where the role of all international actors in negotiating international relations has central importance. The two theories view the interests ...

In the 1980s a new disease was spreading. It was previously unknown, but seemed quite contagious and quite virulent. HIV, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is defined exactly as it sounds. It is a virus that causes an infection that negatively affects the immune system. That infection attacks and weakens the immune system, making an individual at greater risk for contracting other opportunistic diseases. When the immune system becomes too damaged it leaves the patient open to contracting AIDS, the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, which essentially disables the immune system, which leaves sufferers to deal with many of unpleasant symptoms associated ...

While 21st century boasts of improvements in all aspects including health care, it is ironical that stigma against mental illness is still prevalent. A recent study conducted by Australian researchers confirmed that around 75 percent people suffering from the various mental disease like depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia experienced discrimination. That is, people are likely to hold traditional views and perceptions when it comes to dealing with such( people suffering from mental health disorders) persons.
