This can be seen through the several records collected by the Finance department of hospitals wherein accounting records can be found, which eventually ...

Introduction

There is always the ideology that all Africans, no matter where they find themselves around the world, are bound together by their traditional cultures and diasporic experiences. This paper ...

Seneca Falls, New York, July 19-20, 1848: The Women’s Rights Convention

It was through this convention that an organized women’s right movement was initiated in the United States. Many historians associated the Seneca Convention as part of Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s biography, owing to the fact that she was the event’s main organizer. In fact, it was only recently when the Seneca Convention was recognized by historians as a significant event in history (Lerner, 3). Consequently, it ...

It seems like nowadays the concept of feminism gained a negative connotation equating its followers as fanatics and usually mocking their intentions. This movement, which managed to bring freedom and rights to women, is considered today as obsolete and irrelevant, as society believed that females were fully liberated. However, it is far from being true. Female professionals are still paid less than their male counterparts, women are stilled viewed through the prism of patriarchal values, and the dissemination of power between men and women remains unequal to these days. In order to revive the memories of the achievements gained ...

Abstract The Seneca Falls Women’s Rights Convention of 1848 was a pivotal point for women in the United States.

Human resource management is more than just procuring health plans and cutting paychecks. Strategic human resource management looks at the organization as a whole to identify what sets it apart, and how it can be made better. One of the tools used to do this is the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis. This looks at the organization, where it needs to improve, what should stay the same and the steps necessary to make improvements without affecting what makes the organization a success.

1. Strategic human resource management focuses on the larger, organizational picture and its strategic goals to address ...

Revision and Extension of the Secondary Source Integration

- The University of North Carolina (2013) states that an analysis of a primary and secondary source is a valuable and rare tool that offers a more complex analysis of the source, in this case a movie, instead of merely describing, stating facts, and explaining the events that took place. - Unfortunately, in my secondary source integration paper, I was unable to distinguish between analysis and summary. - I went into too many details about the main character and narration of the plot and somehow missed the main goal of the paper, which was an analysis. - Notably, establishing a proper ...

1. Factor Analysis Factor analysis is a statistical procedure utilized for data reduction (Bartholomew et al., 2008). This reduction is reflected in lowering a large number of variables that have similar characteristics, into smaller factors (dimensions). Specifically, based on data reduction, factor analysis is conducted to identify the unobservable and underlying structure of a set of variables which are correlated with each other. These variables are coherent but independent of one another. By coherent it implies that the variables are very consistent and relate with each other harmoniously while independent denotes that the outcomes or the results of each variable are ...

When a person thinks about the treatment of women in Shakespeare’s Othello in historical terms, that thinking would lead us to the understanding of the role of women in the time and context that the play was written, in Elizabethan England, where women were subservient to men, who ran the society. Even during the time of the play’s first production, women were barred from being actors and men played those characters. There is a marginalization of both women, and of minorities within the play and Othello is rife with instances of it both being portrayed. It is important ...

I remember enjoying reading all the way back to the days when I was in middle school. My favorite form of literature at that time was the short story. I’m not sure if it was the brevity of the story that I liked, or just that I could read the entire story in one sitting, but either way, it is the short story that really cemented my love of reading long ago, something that I still enjoy today. My interest in short stories continued into high school. When I was taking a writing class I was encouraged by ...

I was young and next door was a widely known and esteemed (in the neighborhood) web developer who was not prominent because of his impeccable web developing skills, but because of his deathless love for children. Max used to gather several children in his house to banquet on several types of candies he has collected from the several cities he traversed during the week. This had become the modus operandi for every Saturday afternoon and beginning Thursday I would start preparing for the Candy Saturday, as it had grown to be called. These rapturous Saturdays were, however, ephemeral as Max ...

Doing More with Less: UNC and the Challenge of Academic Leadership in 21st Century America

Abstract

Technology may offer one particularly cost-effective and reliable growth area for academics and provide a practical solution to ...
