Literature as a Form of Art and Expression

Literature as a Form of cunningwork and ExpressionINTRODUCTIONThe purpose of this turn out is to examine literary inventiveness indoors the context that masss all sides of the coin. This being said general and massive self-reliances could be made ab come on literary imposture and originative fancy separately. These ar fancys at he invention society, which be explored, as it is sympathetic nature to gain mankind behaviour and the products of such behaviour. Literature and creativeness argon exclusively in the eye of the beholder and subjective with in a garment frame of reference. Unfortunately we live in a world where creativity and artistry be non al flairs valuable strengths and commodities. Within the philosophic framework, behave who are labelled artisti squawky original from the conservativist viewpoint, they are non understood, often viewn unstable and un prolific members of society. From this conservative viewpoint, yeasty concourse do no t engage the logical part of his or her understanding and this leads to difficulty comprehend the enlightened view where the self is entertaind as a freepersuasion dust. on that point is flexibility for exploring one(a)s ideas and hallucinations. Artists nominate often been called ambitioners. Artistic lot live by a contrary credo, nearly propagation starving yet al carriages determined to stay honest to his or her art form. Once over again because society has difficulty valuing art and creativity artists live with the conflict of expectation what society expects and what the artists need to remain true.While the purpose of this paper is to examine the nature literary creativity for the sake of convention, it is besides important to compare and assortediate two English language texts to show how they are similar and opposite in terms of creativity. The two chosen works were (1) Stevie peculiaritys Happy natal day and (2) Robert K. Kennedys deliverance paying t ri ande to Martin Luther queer jr. upon his black lotion. With this in straits because of such a stark difference in content of the juxtaposition, it can also be argued that while twain exhibit social identity to the time and a certain numerate mindfulness with word selection and placement for creating moving pieces, one result stand alone as more literary and creative. Both are powerful in creating a vision and paying homage to a great American precisely Happy natal day exhibits more creative traits than the reference. understood it should be mentioned that any rating of creativity is subjective and in the eye of the beholder and their distinctive taste. For this purpose, Stevie Wonders Happy Birthday has more literary style, true to ones idea toward rhyme and expressionism. It fits the cultural norm more than a speech in the first place because a speech is in the moment and while powerful, visionary can never recapture that moment in time the same way a nervous stra in can.This brings up the popular opinion of interpretation.Modern times ask for art, literary or new(prenominal)wise to stand up to a test of galore(postnominal) truths. It asks for man to apply the put to workion of interpretation, analysis that in of it self has many drawbacks. Susan Sontag writes, indication is not (as some people assume) an absolute value, a movement of mind situated in some timeless realm of capabilities. Interpretation mustiness itself be evaluated, within a historical view of human consciousness.1 nonoperational societys view is slowly changing to admit flexibility of multicultural understanding. Suddenly artists have a valued identity. assure Freeman discusses the nature of understanding ones muse with cognise ones character with this quoteRather than in that respect manifestly existing those who paint or sculptalongside the other productive activities with human beings might become engaged, thither arose painters and sculptors, who came to def ine their genuinely set upation through their identities imaginative activities would be woven into the fabric of manners itself. 2The paragraphs on a lower floor serve to define creativity within the frame of reference of ripe-day times and the age of enlightenment lends to the self-actualising open-mindedness and freedom to embrace creative thought. With this in place, literary art and creativity can result and thrive within the model context.CREATIVITYAt the bare drum level of literary creativity, one finds inspiration in words and sounds inherent in how at the funda rational level these connections sourer a richness and duality of centre. These meanings are enhanced by simple creative prizes made by the source or artist. It has been discussed how change is important and also memory, not save of a collective socio-cultural history and consciousness, that also of how the creative work out is fostered at the root of words. This is Maybins inherency model where the key focus remains on words. This essay strives for deeper analysis at the socio-cultural level where history suggests impact and resonates crossways the many divisions put in concert within the global multi-culture of young times.3Numerous definitions of creativity are recorded in the belles-lettres. creative thinking is often defined by use of synonyms. These include productive thinking, divergent thinking, originality, imagination, and lateral thinking. Because there is no generally accepted definition of creativity, it would be helpful to look at some definitions to date. creativity is defined as the association of thoughts, items, ideas, etc. into a refreshing and relevant configuration, one that has meaning beyond the sum of its partthat provides a synergistic effect.4 Bennis and Beiderman define the creative attend to as that mental process in which past experience is combined and recombined, frequently with some distortion, in such a fashion that one comes up with new p atterns, new configurations, that better solve some need of mankind.5 Although this sampling of definitions reveals divers(prenominal) elements found in creativity, these definitions do suggest some roughhewn lift found in creative thinking and that is, a new way of doing things. From this overview standpoint, one can define creativity as a process that solves a problem in a new and original way that is useful for those who value this process. It should be famed that the elements of uniqueness of solution and value of results are incorporated into the definition.Creativity experts feel that especially the American educational organisation should be t distributivelying constructive, creative-thinking skills focusing on what can be. It is the mental picture of possibility that remains to be seen. They believe what is needed is a strong change of attitude toward creativity in general. It is a matter of thinking differently and of seeing outside the box. For so long, there have b een restrictions due to such philosophical concepts of what is. While art is subjective, this scares people because it evokes a notion of uncertainty. Many find if something can be touched, seen and looks what they expect then it is acceptable. This concept does not allow for the realm of endless possibility. Still there has been a shift in thinking differently about what is because this can qualify from person to person and culture to culture. The world is changing quickly because its borders are invisible, information flows freely. Therefore ideas are no longer linear but branch off with apiece new thought. It should also be noted that creativity is not limited to the arts as traditionalists whitethorn see it. No art can be found in mathematics, acquaintance and the simple act of washing dishes. This once again expresses the enlightened view that the self is advised and finds beauty in nature. Still this notion may bother many because they do not see the potential of art as a what is but as it just is. They are not able to see past the surface to the inner meaning or soul behind the expression. They may not charge be aware of the act of expression and how creativity feeds into the energy of art.The limitless possibility of embracement creativity as a regular everyday process correspondingly comes from the multiple definitions that creativity morphs into much like a prism seen in different degrees of light. From the literary works at hand written by Stevie Wonder and Robert F. Kennedy, it is the creativity energy of the time and its scope that not only define the levels of the works literary qualities but also the scope, the actual use of words to convey powerful messages. Carters work explains how most common people chose to see and understand literature when exposed to an artists process. Examples of such by the outsider can be seen as the spare-time activity Unanswered questions, hesitations and false starts which characterise informal conversat ionsthere is much divergence, disjuncture and incoherence.6CREATIVE ARTISTIC FLOWThe artistic process relies upon creativity within this direct blood. It has not helped that creative people have been invisible, living a lifestyle motivated by fulfilling the need for expression of the self. What makes creative people different from others is that they do not buy in into the typical incidentor of motivation. Many different factors motivate people to behave the way they do. There are higher and lower order necessarily that balance out these acts of motivation. Lower order of necessity must be satisfied originally the higher order needs can be addressed. This is within the conservative view loosing based on Maslows theory.7 Lower order needs are such things as essential items needed for life like shelter, food and clothing. These needs do not recognise needs beyond the means of survival. The higher order needs are considered luxury needs but in the mind of the creative person, need s are of an endless notion. They cannot see this need but it is engrained in the soul and must be addressed.Creative people have the ability to simply live for what they enjoy. The act of creativity involves a sense of adventure, a suspending disbelief to use ones imagination for the purpose of seeing solutions. Brainstorming serves, as a method where ideas bubble over in every direction and no longer is the thought process linear but endless in possibility. In this respect anyone with an open mind can be creative as Csikszentmihalyi writes, it seems strange that dancers, rock climbers, and composers all argue that their most pleasurable experiences resemble a process of discovery.8 The concept of enjoyment plays a vast factor in creativity because of a dual mechanism found within the human genes. This duality is inherent within humans to desire comfort with reference to more primitive times of flight or fight. There is the need to conserve energy written in the DNA. understandi ng the concept of enjoyment ties in with this mechanism because people find different ways to relax and seek comfort in new experiences. The provoke element is people will allow for challenges as long as these correctts or flow experiences remain consistent regardless of activity.9 Without enjoyment performing as a fulfilling element, creativity would just be another project without the thrill. It would be mundane. Without creativity and people discovering new ways of being and doing, there is no evolution of culture, no progress in thought or whimsey.10 Unfortunately the conservative view has a difficult time pass judgment an illogical response as a purpose or goal in life. The emotion involved in creating art seems foreign to them mainly because they have a difficult time seeing beyond the corporal properties of the artwork.Carey surmises the above quandary with the following,Equally you might say that the question What is a work of art? could not have been asked before the late eighteenth century because until then no works of art existed. I do not mean that objects we now regard as works of art did not exist before that dateOf course they didMost pre-industrial societies did not even have a word for art as an main(a) concept. 11The concept of literary art and therefore, creativity is a completely modern ideology. Art existed and was important but the level of understanding did not lead that far within society. It may be a fair assumption that modern influences like war, industrialization or advent of technologies, changing familial lifestyles have all changes the concept of art. As a result of the pressures modern times present people seek comfort in forms of art like literature, film, theatre, and museums. For those expressing themselves creatively, this is also a time of utilizing these influences intertextually within his or her mediums. As a result you see common themes and subject matter as well as reinventing the same idea over and over. At times the conservative view will see literature and art as shocking but really it is just evolving with the times and artists are pursuit to push the envelope to noticed for hard work. Carey furthers the argument of subjectivity by writing, When we say a thing is beautiful for us. It is of personal taste.12 In forthwiths world personal taste could mean anything to anyone and change depending on the moment. This concept of personal taste must remain open and tractile to influencing outside forces in order to reflect an evolving multicultural environment.Overall, creativity experts call for a change in attitude toward creativity if people are going to reap the benefits from available global markets, available capital, personnel trenchantness, and assembly line competence. Success in global markets is going to need a service line of competence on which to build. This is related to the development of new ideas and concepts that emanates from serious creative thinking. As noted abov e, the concept of negativity, which can be interpreted as conservatism and complacency, is the biggest enemy of creativity. To think that an educator is doing well or is creative enough is fatal in the long run. One must evermore push the envelope and stand one step ahead of the game. outline OF LITERARY WORKSIt has been explored that literary creativity remains in the mind of the reader and his or her subjective personal taste. One can dimension certain literary traits to creative works as quantifiable measures toward password of what makes one work more literary and creative than another. If one defines such actions by words and sounds, using more of a Maybin framework where choice and placement of words comes into play. It is how these words form the content, the hidden power and meaning behind the action in the first place that remains at shaping literary concepts. While each literary work analysed for this essay Steve Wonders Happy Birthday and Robert F. Kennedys Martin Lut her King Junior Speech have qualities that standout as literary and hold ones inspiration it is Stevie Wonders Happy Birthday that remains literally true to the literary form of poetry. His var. is modern day poetry with its words and sounds forming a tribute and vision.It is not to say that Robert F. Kennedys speech written on the day of Martin Luther King Juniors assassination is not literature or powerful in nature. It is meant to stir a nations consciousness. It does hold power over the American thought process and passive remains and important document as an causa of Americas turbulent 1960s. This document served to continue a process toward equality for all men and women and remains a pinnacle defining moment in history. Still it is the actual format of a speech that throws people off of it being a piece of literature. Most people would not consider a speech as literature but more of a document, an embodiment of that moment in time. It is in a sense non-fiction, rich in hi storical content. It displays tools of literary honing. The speech is stoic, powerfully written, simply written without much use of imagery or symbolism. It is very much unlike the works of Martin Luther King Junior and in fact on the other end of spectrum. Robert F. Kennedys speech was meant to capture a nation in mourning, not only for the man but also for his dream. What it does do effectively is paint a picture of the existing colourise divisions quench found in American culture today. Robert F. Kennedy uses a literary device of superimposing an actual piece of classical literature within the body of his speech. What this does is bring light to the fact that a classical poem still has the power to resonate feeling despite being centuries old. The poems meaning can still provoke thoughts and offer comfort. The Aeschylus poem allows for a broader scope to the present moment, which will later be an historical act point for the Civil Rights Movement. It adds depth to a speech tha t seems solemn and one-dimensional, jolly lacking inspiration until that point. Kennedys speech does not rely upon other literary devices but uses simple words, reflecting the moment precisely. Use of the Aeschylus poem allows the American consciousness even today to see how gentleman remains unchanged even during times of great uncertainty. It documents accurately the idea of mans defense to change. This literary device is clever and serves to strengthen this underlying feeling of loss and uncertainty. The speech seeps into the backbone of society morals and values but it does not create a piece of literature, not in step or based upon other literary traits. The speech is more of a commentary, a snippet into a sad period for the American people. Still what the speech does do effectively is allow Robert F. Kennedy to lead the people in feeling sad and hope at the same time. It brings him down off of the pedestal many politicians reside upon and allows him to be among the people . This reflects his inherent qualities as a leader and is what would have made him an excellent president.What really remains effective for both pieces is how they each capture a sense of history without truly making it obvious. Both pieces pay homage to a man who sought-after(a) a dream for all people. Though the homage is clear so is the essence of the times or the interpretation of what the Civil Rights Movement represented. What makes this notion more pertinent is the fact that Stevie Wonders Happy Birthday was written in 1980, long after the Civil Rights Movement ended. It is still ingrained in the American collective culture. Both works recognise into account the impact this period had, not only the man but also on further reaching social issues on how his dream meant change.Stevie Wonders Happy Birthday is a more literary work because it is written an acceptable form of expression for the modern audience. The song allows people to relate with the words because the form is i dentifiable by most people. Music represents soul, celebration and a pulse of the people just found inherently within its composition. Songs are something people understand and will listen to over and over. The literary creativity of this song gets down to the bare bones of words and how words work together to create a vision, a feeling. Words work to reflect tone, imagery and hope. The song remains a living celebration of Martin Luther King Juniors work, dream and life but also as a reminder of how far humanity has come in a few short years. The very fact that Stevie Wonder is a black man and has the right for expression in a public arena is proof enough and very telling. Still it reflects a certain amount of sadness over the fact that this song is just now being written, that society still has colour divide. Stevie Wonder writes as the last verse of the songIn full retrospectOf those who lived and died for the oneness ofall people.13This should be more of a question because even today even almost thirty years later there is not oneness within American culture. This speaks of the work yet to be done and is mirrored by his word choices. How the words flow together create an impact for the song and the listener. On the backbone of celebration, there is even disbelief that a song for Martin Luther King Junior has not been written before. Stevie Wonder believes it should not even be a big deal but still this remains a reflection of the value system still inherent in American culture. With lines 1-4, he writes,You know it doesnt make much senseThere ought to be a uprightness againstAnyone who takes offenseAt a day in your celebration14What is most eloquent here is the use of rhyme that is set up as discrete and not so obvious but also the nature of melodious expression. This device continues toward a more literary tactic to set up this work as more creative than the speech. It is the lyrical nature of medicinal drug that allows imagery to be embedded in a w ay that two-dimensional meanings appear. The songs meaning may be different each time for the same person but definitely different for each individual. The fact that the song can be heard again and again continues this impact upon society. It resonates still today the dream but also carries into how the dream continues to change the minds of many through such literary works.CONCLUSIONIn closing the above paragraphs have explored the concept that literary art and creativity as artistic are in a direct relationship when it comes to their roles in society as a means of expression. The notion of literature and art is a modern invention born out of the human necessity to find comfort in his or her surroundings. The means of expression vary greatly but also act as a means of self-discovery for those who experience creative flow. One does not have to be an artist in the traditional sense of the word to experience this action but only open to creativity as a logical behaviour. This shift toward acceptance of creativity is borne out of an evolving cultural need that must be reflective of multiple view and cultures. Still there is resistance to change and many people still see artistic and literary creativity as illogical and emotional. The conservative view offers a or else flat and grey vision of literary art and creativity, not seeing the full potential for self-exploration.END NOTESBennis, W Biederman, P (1997) Organizing Genius The Secrets of Creative Collaboration Addison-Wesley, Reading, MACarey, J (2005) What Good Are The Arts?

The User Experience in Mobile Computing

The User Experience in Mobile ComputingABSTRACTMobile phones pose become a necessity for almost every person throughout the world. Cell phones have become almost a status symbol in appendix to the convenience and security that comes from delivering them. In this article, We would like to hash out the importance of the exploiter experience and the drug exploiter interface in Mobiles/Soft Wearables.1INTRODUCTIONIn this paper, We would discuss the user experience/ user interface with mobiles/soft wearables in the past, rate of flow and future. We would also look at design approach to soft wearables, clobber explorations. At the end we would see the challenges or difficulties in mobile user experience.2DISCUSSION Scientists have researched a lot regarding the user experience in Mobiles/Wearables. earlyish research in this field frequently encouraged people to section their devices to create a collective experience or reach a common goal. Most of this first-waveresearch initial ly looked at the use of smartphones (and tablets) to postulate mobile collocated interactions. As a result, early mobile collocated interactions research tended to be device-centric. Nowadays, Computers have transitioned from being in a large room (e.g., ENIAC), to our desks (e.g., PCs), to a bag (e.g., laptops), and to our pockets (e.g., mobile phones). Wearable computers (e.g., the WIMM watch) have continued the trend towards ever-smaller computers, ones that evoke be worn on our wrists (e.g., Apple Watch) or other part of the personate (e.g., Google Glass, Microsoft HoloLens). While the first-wave of mobile collocated interactions seemed device-centric, this current second wave is user experience-centric. Such novel mobile collocated interactions may include clothing, accessories, prosthetics, and jewelry. One much(prenominal) example is Its About Time which explores extending smartwatch interactions to turn personal wearables into public let outs. Adopting ideas of proxemi cs could kick for designers to better shape each individuals personal motivations and perceptions of their interactions with both devices and others, to better realise their experiences.Soft wearables include clothing and textile-based When designed well, they leverage the cultural, sociological and secular qualities of textiles, fashion and dress diverse capabilities and meanings of the body as well as the qualities and capabilities afforded by smart and programmable elements. When designing soft wearables a designer must consider a range of requirements that do not typically beseech focus when designing products that are not worn, including sensitivity to material elaborate an eye for fit and comfort on bodies with diverse shapes and movement capabilities receptivity to a diversity of meanings that may be generated as well as consideration of wearers intimate relations with technology. Soft wearables allow for greater background within these requirements. Using smart texti les and soft electronic interfaces in wearables opens up the opportunity to engage with wearers experiences in diverse and subtle ways. A create from raw material garment for example can deform and reform as the body moves and pushes against the fabric. When augmented with smart capabilities, such deformations may be used to sense engagement and trigger events.But, There are a publication of scientific challenges for designing user experience such as binding, security, spatial registration, motley platforms and sensors, non-touch interaction as well as development and runtime environments. In access to these, there are complaisant challenges such as privacy, social acceptability, social participation, social exclusion and social engagement. There are a number of Perceptual and Physiological challenges such as varying display resolutions, luminance, impressive visual fidelities, visual interference, color or contrast in display overlap which can be experienced with body proxi mate ecosystems.4 CONCLUSIONToday, mobile application development technology is evolving at a very shocking pace. User experience is becoming an increasingly important feature when it comes to the digital landscape. It defines how the user feels and thinks about your product from his or her own perspective. It is about making something valuable, easy to use and effective for your target market. However, in a market where quality and performance always come beforehand brand loyalty, creating a fluid user experience (UX) is key to the advantage of any mobile app development project.REFERENCES1Andrs LuceroEmail author, James Clawson, Joel Fischer and SimonRobinsonMobile collocated interactions with wearables past, present, and future Nov 20162Oscar TomicoEmail author and Danielle WildeSoft, embodied, situated connected enriching interactions with soft wearables June 20163Jens GrubertEmail author, Matthias Kranz and Aaron QuigleyChallenges in mobile multi-device ecosystems Aug 2016

Global Warming Causes And Effects Analysis Environmental Sciences Essay

world(prenominal) thaw Causes And Effects Analysis Environmental Sciences Essay spherical change is one facet of the broader term clime change. It is the accession in the average temperature of the mans surface air and maritimes from the mid-20th century, and the projected continuation. The Global warm up is primarily the popcome of embodimenting up green nursing home triggermanes in atmosphere. Emission numbers for nigh important anthropogenic glasshouse gas, blowic acid gas, have plusd 120-fold in the ult 140 courses. While in the 19th century, emissions were mostly from de timberlandation and the other(a) toss off use changes, forthwith they atomic number 18 predominantly from electrocution fossil fuels. As CO2 in the atmosphere has the lifetime of more(prenominal) than a century, the historic emissions play most important role as compargond to the accepted parsimonys in atmosphere.Increase in Global Temperature. Most of the increase in globose tempera tures since the mid-twentieth century argon very presumable due to the increase in anthropogenic babys room gases via enhanced greenhouse tack together. The natural phenomena much(prenominal) as the solar variation combined with the volcanoes had a sm exclusively calefacient effect since pre-industrial propagation to 1950 and small cooling effect from 1950 onwards. The Climate mould projections summarized by IPCC indicate that the average global surface temperature would promising face-lift a foster 1.2 to 6.4C (2.0 to 11.6F) during the twenty-first century.Role of Industrialisation. In the other(prenominal) 200 years, Europe, North America, and former Soviet Union, streamly having only 20 percent of worlds existence, have devoted in more than 85 percent of CO2 emissions. Direct product of industrialisation, emissions now is 7 cardinal tons of the century a year, or around one ton of degree centigrade per motion of worlds population. Emissions argon very uneven. Th e per-capita North American emissions are 17 times those of Africa, ten times those of Asia and 2.4 times those of Europe. The Low gasoline prices and pervasive railcar culture in coupled States en trusted that CO2 output, already highest in the world, is rising, while directs in Europe are stable or falling. unlikeness in Emissions. Everyone is indeed accountable in some way or another but the largest contributors are developed nations. Today, developed countries like the United States, Ger some, Japan and many others with only 26 percent of the Globes population, are responsible for more than 70 percent of accumulated green house gas pollution in atmosphere. If we take a global average, then apiece person on planet is responsible for emission of approx 6000 kg of GHG emissions either year. In the developed countries, it is 14,000 kg per person. USA tops the list with 24,000 kg per person, and at bottom of the list comes Chad with 30 kg per person.CausesClimatic Equilibrium. Earths climate changes in response, to external forcing, include variations in its orbit around the Sun, changes in the solar luminosity, atmospherical greenhouse gas concentrations and volcanic eruptions. Detailed causes of the thawing remain active field of research, although the scientific consensus is that increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases by military personnel military action caused most of warming ascertained since start of industrial era. None of these effects of forcing are instantaneous. The thermal inertia of the Earths oceans and very slow responses of the other indirect effects mean that Earths current climate is surely not in equilibrium with forcing imposed. The Climate load studies indicate that even if the greenhouse gases were stabilized on 2000 levels, a further warming of approximately 0.5C (0.9F) depart still slip away.Natural. The natural causes that contribute to global warming are as follows-Change in suns elan vital output.Volcanoes.Water vapou r.Cloud cover.However these natural causes have been regularly countered by the natural process of degeneration and Earths temperature has been change within a inflexible margin for last hundreds of years.Human Activity. From old times people venture that the gentlemans gentleman activity could change climate. For example, in 19th century many Americans did believe that cutting down forests would bring more rainwater to a region. Amongst the mainstream scientific community, there is no doubt that Earth is warming, and increasing point shows that the humans have a significant part in it.nursery PhenomenonThe major reason of global warming is the emission of the green house gases like methane, one C dioxide, nitrous oxide etc into atmosphere. The gases in atmosphere like carbon dioxide, water vapour, tropospheric ozone, chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), methane and nitrous oxide trap energy from sun. Without these gases, foment ordain escape back into the space and Earths average tem perature go forth be about 60F colder. So absorbing and reflecting infrared waves being radiated by Earth, the gases conserve heat as glass in a greenhouse works and are thus called as greenhouse gases.Source of Gases. Methane is a much more effective greenhouse gas than CO2, but the concentration is much smaller, and total radiative forcing is only about one fourth of that from the carbon dioxide. Some other naturally occurring gases contribute small fractions of the greenhouse effect one of these, nitrous oxide (N2O), is increasing in concentration owing to human activity such as agriculture.Carbon Dioxide. It is the major source of force out plants. These power plants emit large quantity of carbon dioxide produced by burning the fossil fuels for generation of electricity. About twenty one percent of carbon dioxide emitted in the atmosphere comes from burning of gasoline in the engines of the vehicles.Methane. Methane is more than 20 times as effectual as CO2 at entrapping heat in the atmosphere. Methane is obtained from resources such as bovine flatulence ,rice paddies, bacteria in bogs and fossil fuel manufacture. When fields are alluviumed, anaerobic situation build up and the organic matter in the flat coat decays, releasing methane to the atmosphere. nitric Oxide. Main sources of nitrous oxide are nylon and nitric acid, the cars with catalytic converters, use of fertilizers in agriculture and burning organic matter.Effect. The greenhouse effect is important. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live. But if the greenhouse effect snuff its stronger, it could make the Earth hot than usual. Even a runty extra warming whitethorn cause problems for humans, plants, and animals. Present atmospheric concentration of CO2 is about 390 parts per million (ppm) in volume. Future levels are judge to increase due to ongoing burning of the fossil fuels and land-use change. The rate of increase provide depend on uncer tain sociological, economic, natural , and scientific developments, but may be ultimately limited by the availability of fossil fuels.Deforestation. Another cause of global warming is deforestation that is caused by cutting and burning of forests for the purpose of residence and industrialization.Solar Variation. A varying hypothesis is that the variations in solar output, possibly being amplified by haze over seeding by galactic cosmic rays, would have contributed to recent warming. It is suggested that magnetic activity of the sun is a very crucial factor which deflects the cosmic rays that influencing the generation of cloud condensation nuclei and therefore affect the climate.Effects Of Global WarmingThe effects of global warming are very large in number and still there are so many that are still to be found out. But recently the problems have become visible and evident because of happening of events that were before only talked off. Although it may be difficult to connect we ather events to global warming, a rise in global temperatures may therefore cause following major changes- arctic Retreat and Arctic Shrinkage. As an effect of global warming the glaciers are retreating at an alarming rate and changing the entire environment of the mountains. This go out bring about the most intense climatic changes and alteration in the habitat. There will be a considerable increase in the water level of oceans and seas as a result of resolve of glaciers. hike in Sea Level. Worldwide sea level rise of clxxx to 590 millimetres (0.59 to 1.9ft) in 2090-2100 relative to 1980-1999. This increase in level of seas and oceans will assimilate land at the coastal areas and some low lying countries may even become submerged.Extreme Weather Conditions. Changes in the amount and figure of speech of precipitation may result in flooding and drought. Floods in the areas without the flood history, is not very common. There are droughts in various places, having right(a) rainf all earlier. Atmosphere gets suddenly very rough in the harm of thunderstorms and cyclones. In the future there are rapid temperature changes expected to occur which will affect length of the seasons. Winters will be quite short. This will indeed imbalance the ecosystem and will therefore effect greatly the attitudinal carriage of the the animals and birds.Vegetation. Another major effect of global warming would be on the vegetation that is present on the earth surface. Tundra type of vegetation would become to temperate, and evergreen type of forest. Woody plant population may lead to increase, as a result of rise in precipitation. There would be a dramatic change in all the type of vegetations getable in the areas, which will in turn impact the inhabitation of area. crimson Life. Various species are on the verge of nonexistention due to global warming. Major changes are often seen in the animals as they do match to the warmer environment, which are effected due to global wa rming. A manner pattern of these animals when studied shows that animals are beginning to shift their major population towards north, or towards a higher altitudes.(f) Marine Life. The marine life is undoutedly very sensitive to the rise in temperatures. The effect of global warming will surely be seen on many species in the water. As a result many species will die off, or go extinct due to the rise in the temperatures of water, whereas many other species, which prefer the warmer waters, will be on increase tremendously. Perhaps the most plaguey changes are expected in coral reefs that are expected to now die off as an effect of the global warming. Due to the melting of polar ice the life cycle is getting disturbed and this leads to dying of many an animal.Increase in Diseases. Lately, as an effect of the global warming various new diseases have emerged. These diseases are occurring frequently due to the increase in earths average temperature since the bacteria can survive easily in elevated temperatures and multiply faster when the conditions become favorable. Due to global warming, the dispersal of mosquitoes is being extended owing to the increase in humidity levels and so their frequent growth in the warmer atmosphere. Various diseases are expected due to Ebola, Hanta and Machupo virus owing to warmer climates. The global warming is sure to cause irreversible changes in ecosystem and the behaviour of animals.Other Effects. These include changes in the agricultural yields, reduced summertime stream flows and, addition of new craft routes, possible slowing of thermohaline circulation, resultant reductions in the ozone layer and the pull downing of ocean pH.(j) Extinction of Plants and Animals. consort to an international study a quarter of land animals and plants may become extinct if global warming continues unchecked. The study reveals that as the earth hots up, all species may not be able to physically migrate to new locations. This will lead to sm aller habitats for far less species. Rare and endangered species will generally move closer to extinction.(k) aggrieve to the Natural Environment. Glaciers, coral reefs and atolls, mangrove swamp, tropical forests, polar and alpine grasslands are likely to undergo significant damage.(l) Shortage of Water. Water shortage, which affects approximately 1.7 billion people today, will affect 5.4 billion people in 25 years, according to a study.(m) Effect on Food Supplies. Food supplies are likely to be affected with grain yields falling across Africa and comeuppance spreading. Yields are likely to fall in Asia too and subsistence farming in Latin America will be damaged.(n) Loss of Human Life. According to the study more than 160,000 people die globally ever year due to the side effects of climate change. Heat waves are likely to kill more people, particularly among the elderly and urban population.(o) Floods and Droughts. As global warming increases the frequency of rapid precipitatio n, protracted droughts and floods will increase. There will be heavier rainfall across northern Europe- increasing the risk of floods- and lower rainfall over northern Africa and Australia.(p) Disrupted Energy Demand Patterns. Global warming would result in hotter and drier summers, decrease in the soil moisture, coastal erosion, lower the cokefall, ,increased flooding, and disrupted energy demand patterns .13. Effects on India. The assessed India specific effects are as under -(a) Decreased snow cover, affecting snow-fed and glacial systems such as the gang up and Bramhaputra. 70% of the summer flow of the Ganges comes from meltwaterErratic monsoon with serious effects on rain-fed agriculture, peninsular rivers, water and power supply.Drop in wheat production by 4-5 million tones, with even a 1C rise in temperature,(d) Increased frequency and intensity of floods. Increased vulnerability of people in coastal, arid and semi-arid zones of the country(e) Studies indicate that over 50 % of Indias forests are likely to experience shift in forest types, unseemlyly impacting associated biodiversity, regional climate dynamics as well as livelihoods based on forest products.(f) According to Head of the IPCC, Dr. R.K. Pachauri, the climate change could adversely affect India. By 2100, higher sea-level on the eastern coast could lead to the slicing of Sunderbans.(g) In India, the region most vulnerable to accelerated sea level rise is the low-lying coral atolls of the Lakshadweep archipelago.(h) Experts feel that the Indian coast is more vulnerable to storm surge than the West coast. Nearly one-third of the human population living within 60 kilometers of the coast could be baffled due to the rise in sea level.(j) Glaciers are receding at a faster rate in India. Researchers have found that the Gangotri glacier which feeds the Ganges is retreating at a faster rate than before. The melting of Himalayan glaciers would adversely impact 500 million people residing on the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra river basins. As glaciers are frozen reservoirs of water, their melting would lead to a decrease in water, affecting drinking water supply, irrigation and hydropower.(k) There would be precipitation changes all over India, weather would be more erratic and post monsoon rainfall would become uncertain, according to Dr. Pachauri.(l) According to Prof. M.S. Swaminathan, the ecological and economic damage arising out of global warming would have an adverse impact on agriculture, which was the anchor of the country. The erratic weather could cause damage to crop patterns leading to an adverse impact on food security.(m) The IPCC report has estimated that India could bear a spacious loss of bio-diversity because of greater greenhouse emissions.

What Is Mental Health Health And Social Care Essay

What Is cordial wellness health And Social palm EssayIn view of the strict confidentiality requirements for patient records, particularly in slicknesss involving psychic wellheadness and infirmity, both rational wellness patients and the general macrocosm were assured in accordance with the nursing and midwifery council code of treat (NMC 2008), to respect and observe psychogenic patients rights to confidentiality. Furthermore some(prenominal) information obtained approximately them as part of this research was non sh ared or disclose with/ to any third party without their ultimate permission been disposed (Mental wellness and learning disabilities 1998).WHAT IS MENTAL wellness on that point grant been so many another(prenominal) attempts by writers and authors to define what genial wellness is? So many incompatible definitions everyplacehear been given and for the purposes of this research save twain of them were menti stard. According to The land health Organisation (2001) wellness is the state of being complete psychologically, emotionally, socially, physically, psychologically fit and not just a mere absence of sickness. just now Keyes (2002) pointed out that kind wellness does not refer to a oneness instance of an individuals state of mind, just now rather, it c everyplaces a broad spectrum and describes a embodied sequence of demeanor over time. It whitethorn be generally explained and the line of merchandise is that diverse bodies, environments and settings use dissimilar means of conceptualizing the term. In other wrangle what constitutes moral wellness in one profession or confederation might not necessarily mean the same in another. It could be classified as the disturbing toughness which allows individuals to take pleasure in their existence and endure pain, distress and notion which merchant ship as well be said to be a good signal for individuals inte quiets and a funda psychogenic idea in our personal, and others (Weare 2000). In some cases stating what mental health is? can include a broad s come of capacities which emphasises our electric potential in growth, change and overly social nature (Department of wellness 1995a) There are a many of mental health situations that could result to a disability, such as nervousness, sadness, as well as schizophrenic psychosis (web 1). In a report issued by the beingness wellness Organisation (2003) it indicated how close-fitting and covered the shame and favouritism associated with mental health urinate been and emphasize the need to uncover and bring to the public subject area. The extent of agony and dispute with respects to disability and spending for heap, relatives and communities are overwhelming. The world has now recognised in the last few years the huge trouble and the probable hazard associated with the disease.The discovery here indicated astonishing figures all over the world on the epidemic with it seriousness been some times overlooked. Surprisingly more than 450 one thousand thousand individuals go through mental or discommodes in behaviour. Almost one m crazyion individuals do kill themselves each year and due to neuropsychiatric dis poses (depression, alcohol-consumption disorders, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder), quadruplet of the six leadership causes of years lived with disability. Mental disorder can at least be found in either four families and relatives are normally the main sell providers for persons with mental health businesss. The degree of the challenge on relatives as a result of the complications to measurement and as a result often uncared for. Nevertheless, the considerable effect on their relatives quality of biography has incessantly been negative. People makeed by mental unhealthiness incur both social costs and mental health costs and is victims of discrimination, human rights contumely, stigmatisation and both internal and external commode (WHO 2003).WHAT IS MENTAL ILLNESSThis is where the functioning of the mind becomes affected due to the serial of signs and go steadys of conditions, such as phobias, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, mania and substance misuse disorders (Carol and ASH 2004, health welfare 1998, Trent 1999, Tudor 1996). Due to how rampant and common mental disorderes have become in recent years, in the course of an average persons life, it is realistic that they exit either develop a mental health problem themselves, or have close contact with someone who does (Kitchener and Jorm 2002). In a research conducted in Scotland, it concluded that one in every four adults go forth watch mental health problems at some academic degree in their lives (Scottish Association for Mental wellness (2003a). Weiss et al (2001) advocated that mental illnesses have been stigmatized in several nations and cultures. received conclusions have proved the attempt in some countries to minimize the degree of stigmatisation through scientific climb up and educational efforts (Rahman et al 1998). plainly notwithstanding these efforts, the disgrace and panic given to mental illness remains a considerable barrier to finding tending to identify and to treat. The association of stigmatization on mental illness has caused disparities, as oppose to other forms of illnesses, and its nurture violation human rights abuse regarding people having these disorders. horizontal though mental health and mental illness are not the same further they are inter- related and so sometimes used interchangeably (World Health Organization 2003). Mental health is how individuals think, feel, and behave as they cope with occasional life. It suffices in deciding how people cope with stress, relate to others, and make choices. On the other hand, Mental illness is a collective term for a broad range of mental disorders and the mental disorders are medical conditions that disrupt how a person thinks, feels, and/ or behave, resulting in distress and/or impaired functioning (Austin 2010).CHALLENGES OF MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS WELLBEINGPatients with mental disabilities have problems and the range of the challenges encountered in their every mean solar day life are many and trains for example reactions to adjustments (external situations normal responses) either short or longer-term disability connected to signs of hopelessness and nervousness (and psychiatrically linked with diagnoses such as gloominess, but may be generally constructed) bipolar disorder, schizophrenia (with a obvious genetics root, more simply clear by its signs but also with alpha the general public meaning and penalty). There may be coexist between each other, and also with problems linked to the potable of alcohol or drugs, and with problems ensuing from complications traits and personality types (The Royal College of General Practitioners 2007). The case study below attempted to explain Ms. Catherine who suffers from postnatal depression. CASE SENARIO Ms Catherine suffers from postnatal depressionBrief DescriptionPostpartum depression is a type of depression that happens to women laterward they give birth and they are of two dissimilar categories which are postpartum or maternity blues, a cool frame of mind problem of minimum period and postpartum hirer depression, a painful and likely life damaging illness of a longer duration. The Postpartum blues affect between 50%-80% of new(a) mothers after labour and symptoms are normally begin from 3 to 4 days after delivery, getting worse by days 5 upwards, and may be likely to leave the mother absent by the 12 day. The new mother could have automatic teller machine swings with period of look weeping, irritable, interspersed and nervous or with situations of feeling well and she may have hindrance sleeping. If the signs continue more than 2 weeks, it is essential to look for medical assistance (Moline et al 2001). On the other hand, the starting of Postpartum majo r(ip) depression could be at any period in the initial periods after given birth and is extreme intense than postpartum blues. It is the changes in the head teacher chemistry that causes it and lead to mood disorder a genetic illness which does not happen by the fault of the mothers or the consequence of a weak or unsound personality. Medically there are professional interventions since it is treatable and curable. The postpartum depression has major symptoms such as dejected atmosphere throughout the day, almost every time, for not less than 2 weeks and leading to loss of activities that were concerning or enjoying before. Other signs involve tiredness, feeling obstinate or slowed losing, a common sense guilt or insignificance, complication in concentration, sleeplessness, and persistent belief of death or suicide (Moline et al 2001).Detailed Analysis- Ms Catherines storyMs Catherine story started one day when she came home from the hospital with her beautiful baby daughter after delivery, but her world began to fall apart. She was hit by intense nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dehydration, and fainting. pectus feeding her baby became out of question. Every time she held her baby to her breast, she involve to quickly lay her back down so she could run to the bathroom. In the course of the first 3 months of her daughters life, she was hospitalized twice, removed from her children including the newly born. She was completely changed from a very strong, vibrant, healthy and physically active person to something else, unable to mail out even the simplest daily responsibilities. She became devastated and a failure as a mom and couldnt even get out of bed where she even cute to die. During her second hospital stay, a nurse gently suggested that she might have postpartum depression but was stunned. How could the horrible gastrointestinal symptoms she was experiencing be caused by depression? She save unders tood how she could be depressed because of the sic kness she was despicable from, but not the other way around. And she had never heard of postpartum depression. notwithstanding she took the suggestion to heart and quickly sought a diagnosis information, and help. In the process started taking an antidepressant and also instantly began seeing a psychologist for therapy. Ms Catherine showed sign of recovery but has always wanted someone around her to assist her in her daily everyday duties.My Encounter with Ms CatherineI found it difficult in interacting with and responding to Ms Catherine initially because little did I know about mothers suffering from postpartum depression after given birth. But later on I realised that it is a common mental illness problem that affect most women after child birth. Immediately afterwards my attitude and behaviour towards her changed and begin to interact with her freely. The instance recognition of Ms Catherine ill health changed my thoughts, attitude, belief and perception of people with menta l disability and the need to assist them to cope with their everyday life. Ms Catherine behavioural practices are sometimes oddish than normal with her consistence ineffectiveness couple with her cold attitude and responsiveness regarding what ought to be routinely practices. It is therefore imperative that patients with mental disability are treated and dealt with according to their specific circumstances since this helps in addressing their individual concerns effectively. whiz of the weaknesses I have was to getting closer to people who suffer from mental related illnesses but I now come to realise that my fear of not wanting to approach people with mental disability because of how they can be aggressive sometimes has changed drastically. As a consequence I have now been able to build on my positions in wrong of always given a helping hand to patients and more on to people whose mental benefit has been challenged.ENGAGING WITH AND ASSISTING MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTSThe obligat ion of assisting, caring and engaging people with mental health disabilities and challenges does not rest with or depend on only one person but rather on every single individual, the society as well as organisations. As depicted in the figure 1 below, the interest and the desire to demonstrate the willingness to help manage the challenges of the mental health patients wellbeing cat across every angle and borders.MEDIAFAMILIESINDIVIDUALSCOMMUNITIESGOVERNMENTSMENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALSFOUNDATIONSNGOs polity MAKERSPRIVATE SECTORFigure 1 A diagrammatical type of different identifiable individuals and groups who are to assist in mental health patients wellbeing challenges.Source Adapted from World Health Organization 2003But for the purposes of this study the concentration was narrowed down to the role of different health and social care professionals in mental health promotion. Their roles are numerous involving condenseing them to keep on with their medication as this will obtain a gainst the harmful effects that can cause further breakdowns, try to minimise additional pressure by supporting them to amend to the effects of the illness. alike work with their relatives and the community to support the patient, support them to sort out any difficulties they may face that are causing them stress. Assisting them again to stay away from becoming annoyed or violent of them and avoid being too protective and not to treat them like children (Mental Health preparation n. d). The issue Mental Health Act of 1946 acknowledged psychiatric nursing as one of four core areas for the provision of psychiatric care and treatment, on with psychiatry, psychology and social work. Since Nurses played an important role in the treatment of increasing demand for psychiatric services resulting from mental health issues in order to meet the rising demands (Bigbee and Amidi-Nouri 2000). As a mental health nurse I may see patients who are backing in the society, normally in the patient s own home or in a clinical based. As a nurse providing support to mental health patients through difficult periods of their illness is significant. I will see patients who are currently well to ensure everything is going on well with them and be the first point of contact if the patients begin to experience any unusual signs of additional ill conditions. I will also be helping patients with their medication and make sure that the patient understands what they should be taking and when, since that is very important at this stage of their lives. I will provide information to the patients immediate family on the need to understand and cope with their relatives ill condition (s) and not to neglect or reject them. I may also be involved in cases where the patients transition from hospital back into the community is carried out (Web 2). Within the continuum of mental health interventions, legal profession and promotion have become practical and proofing based, backed by a fast increasin g body of knowledge from areas as divergent as developmental psychopathology, psychobiology prevention, and health promotion sciences (WHO, 2002). Rutz et al (1992) indicated how the preventive measures and promoting programmes have also been shown to result in substantial cost-effective savings to the public since that wampum any occurrences of any mental illness. The mental health professionals have different identifiable roles in the promotion of quality mental health. The World health organisation declared and has set aside a day in the whole world as the world mental health day after recognising the need to promote good mental practices. WHO indicated that the process of assisting mental health patients and the general public to gain increase awareness and accommodate over their own health and better it is essentially worth noting (WHO 1986). As shown in figure 1 above these health and social care professionals are all involve in the daily promotion and sensitisation of the c hallenge. The practices of improving the quality standard of life and the possible good living are interlinked, rather than only an amelioration of symptoms (Secker 1998). Psychosocial issues persuade a material body of health behaviours (e.g. proper diet, adequate exercise, and avoiding cigarettes, drugs, excessive alcohol and risky informal practices) that have a wide-ranging negative effect on the domain of health (WHO 2002).The strategy to improve upon my information technology (IT) strengths will be done through the consistent usage of the IT. With particular attention given to the micro soft excel to improve on my numerical strength with the engagement of an IT professional for additional tuition. My literacy strengths will be enhanced by the regular practice of using the micro soft word with the merchandising options becoming the dominant material for improvement.CONCLUSIONIt however became evidenced that mental health illnesses pose a serious threat and damage to our daily lives. It is no doubt mental illnesses are of different kinds and levels of severity. Some of the major types discovered included depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar mood disorder, personality disorders, and eating disorders. But the main frequent mental illnesses are anxiety and depressive disorders and so it was not surprising when the case study above was on postpartum depression. Even though most people go through feelings of strong tension, panic, or depression sometimes, but a mental illness is observe only when these symptoms turn out to be so worrying and devastating that individuals experience immense complicatedness enjoying their normal routine activities, for example work, enjoying relaxation time, and maintaining associations. more(prenominal) attention needs to be devoted to the sickness since failure to over look its existence could result to a potential disaster and further deaths. The decision by the world health organisation to declare a day as world ment al health day is important and must be observe by all but having regard to the enormous benefits it will yield to us. The cost of treating and caring for mental ill patients increases as the days goes by as oppose to the amount involve in prevent the condition from occurring. The contributions of health and social care professionals over the years have been incredible and therefore ought to continue in order to prevent, reduce and even a further eradication of the epidemic. It must however be noted that the sickness is preventable and even treatable so do not die in silence since the problem shared, is the problem solved.REFERENCESAustin, (2010) psychiatric and mental health nursing for Canadian practice, Medicine series Lippincott Williams Wilkins, edition 2 revised, ISBN 0781795931, 9780781795937Bigbee, J.

The Failure Of Baggage Handling Systems Information Technology Essay

The distress Of Baggage Handling Systems Information Technology riseFrom the article it is app atomic number 18nt that the urban center officials and BAE executives were at loggerheads and blame each opposite for the sorrow of the discourse clays. BAE president and party boss executive, Gene Di Fonso, supports his argument against the capital of Colorado city officials by pointing out that denounce alteration of the drome plans, interest group of inexperienced managers (appointed by Denver city officials) and failure to fix electric flaws had left token(prenominal) beat for examening out the organisation were the major(ip) reasons behind luggage discussion frame failure. On the other hand, city officials blame the BAE for non fixing the bundle and mechanical enigmas by the time when the system was to be operational. But as it turns out, neither side is al unitedly denying accusation made by other. So from the article, it is obvious that since neither partie s give way fulfilled their responsibilities, all the above menti unmatchabled cyphers every bit contribute towards failure of the luggage manipulation systems at Denver Airport. To purge it into simple words, the DIA enter failed because those fashioning key decision underestimated the complexity problematic. Failure to get by the complexity and the fortune involved contributed to the estimate being initiated as well late. What could prolong been d adept(a) by all stakeholders to prevent the failure caused by new technology macrocosm?It is endlessly possible that unprofessional behavior by the city officials or wrong equipment and software program malfunction is partly to blame for the failure of the baggage handling system. But searching for a scapegoat is far simpler than trying to deduct the difficulties go about when trying to develop large-scale proposes. The cast vigilance police squad needed to do a better job of preparation antecedent to the sop up of the control. The major roadblock was the simple fact that the change baggage system was designed after the airdrome structure had already begun date it should wealthy person been included in the original design of the airport. need of parley between DIA airport designers, city officials, the airlines and BAE further caused damage to the project. out front blood line construction all the stakeholders needed to meet so as to site together a formalized plan. While this did not happen, the communion seemed more ilk a top down approach. Give unmatchable public works (government) project that has similar or different fates since 1995, and depict comparisons.The much recent failure of the DART mission by NASAs marshall Space Flight pump is an example of a technology project which open fire be expound as a not one with an expected outcome. The DART projects biggest problem was that it hardly had one shot to test the technology. Complex ironware and software bottom of the inning fail from just one mistake, flaw, or overlooked cipher in millions of actions or components. Mishap probe Board investigated the mishap and placed its underlying causes based on computer hardware interrogation, telemetry data analysis, and numerous simulations. So to compare with DIA project, we can find similarities in most aspects of its failure, like hardware and software malfunction, and testing problems. What are the ecumenical lessons for this case?As with any project, the initial step should be to recognize the situation and then work towards it. Had the project management group and the BAEs executives recognized their lack of knowledge and the complexities they were facing, they could possibly reduced the risk, if not void it. It would have been a helpful knowledge to listen to those who did have the undeniable antecedent experience. Stakeholder conflict, as in this case, with poorly define roles and responsibilities and almost non-existent confe rence can lead to disastrous project results.From the article it is obvious that the city officials and BAE executives were at loggerheads and blame each other for the failure of the handling systems. BAE president and chief executive, Gene Di Fonso, supports his argument against the Denver city officials by pointing out that frequent alteration of the airport plans, involvement of inexperienced managers (appointed by Denver city officials) and failure to fix electrical flaws had left minimal time for testing out the system were the major reasons behind baggage handling system failure. On the other hand, city officials blame the BAE for not fixing the software and mechanical problems by the time when the system was to be operational. But as it turns out, neither side is completely denying accusation made by other. So from the article, it is obvious that since neither parties have fulfilled their responsibilities, all the above mentioned factors equally contribute towards failure of the baggage handling systems at Denver Airport. To put it into simple words, the DIA project failed because those do key decision underestimated the complexity involved. Failure to recognize the complexity and the risk involved contributed to the project being initiated too late. So to sum it all up, the factors that eventually resulted in the failure of DIA project included poor management, conflicting roles and responsibilities, poor talk, no change date process, inadequate testing processes, stakeholder conflict, probably conflicting priorities, and finally scope loony by which I mean expansion of initial project design.It is always possible that unprofessional behavior by the city officials or defective equipment and software malfunction is partly to blame for the failure of the baggage handling system. But searching for a scapegoat is far simpler than trying to understand the difficulties faced when trying to develop large-scale projects. The project management squad neede d to do a better job of planning prior to the start of the project. The major roadblock was the simple fact that the automated baggage system was designed after the airport construction had already begun while it should have been included in the original design of the airport. Lack of communication between DIA airport designers, city officials, the airlines and BAE further caused damage to the project. Before beginning construction all the stakeholders needed to meet so as to put together a formalized plan. While this did not happen, the communication seemed more like a top down approach.The much recent failure of the DART mission by NASAs marshall Space Flight Center is an example of a technology project which can be described as a not one with an expected outcome. The DART projects biggest problem was that it only had one shot to test the technology. Complex hardware and software can fail from just one mistake, flaw, or overlooked factor in millions of actions or components. Mish ap investigation Board investigated the mishap and determined its underlying causes based on hardware testing, telemetry data analysis, and numerous simulations. So to compare with DIA project, we can find similarities in most aspects of its failure, like hardware and software malfunction, and testing problems.As with any project, the initial step should be to recognize the situation and then work towards it. Had the project management team and the BAEs executives recognized their lack of knowledge and the complexities they were facing, they could possibly reduced the risk, if not eliminate it. It would have been a helpful knowledge to listen to those who did have the necessary prior experience. Stakeholder conflict, as in this case, with poorly defined roles and responsibilities and almost non-existent communication can lead to disastrous project results. The most essential factor that helps a project succeed is if the scope of the project is well defined from the beginning. The s cope of the project, if at all possible, should not be allowed to expand. Scope quail ultimately destroys budgets and leads to over time, thus undermining the support a project has. automation off course in Denver Melvin VerDysfunctional decision making is the poison that kills technology projects and the Denver Airport Baggage System project is a classic example. The DIA case examines the key decisions that set the project on the path to disaster and the forces behind those decisions. What was supposed to be the worlds largest automated airport baggage handling system became a classic story in how technology projects can go wrong. The airports baggage handling system was a critical component in the plan and by automating baggage handling DIA was going to ensure faster aircraft turnaround which would have provided a militant advantage over other airports. Despite the plan being technologically advanced and a possible winner, it rapidly dissolved into chaos collectable to underest imation of the projects complexity which resulted in extensive problems and eventually an embarrassment for everyone involved. The missteps that were involved along the way included a demonstration of the system to the media which illustrated how the system crushed bags, disgorged content and son on. While it is challenging to manage and assume out a technology project on such a massive scale, all it requires is precision in planning, scheduling and controlling by managing critical interfaces with all the stakeholders involved. What factors caused the failure of the baggage handling systems?From the article it is obvious that the city officials and BAE executives were at loggerheads and blamed each other for the failure of the handling systems. BAE chief executive blames the Denver city of frequent alteration of the airport plans, involvement of inexperienced managers and failure to fix electrical flaws resulting in minimal time for testing out the system for the major reasons behi nd baggage handling system failure. On the other hand, city officials blame the BAE for not fixing the software and mechanical problems by the time when the system was to be operational. Since neither side is completely denying accusation made by other and have failed to fulfill their responsibilities, all the above mentioned factors equally contribute towards failure of the baggage handling systems at Denver Airport. To put it into simple words, the DIA project failed as it failed to recognize the complexity and the risk involved. What could have been done by all stakeholders to prevent the failure caused by new technology psychiatric hospital?Searching for a scapegoat is far simpler than trying to understand the difficulties faced when trying to develop large-scale projects. The project management team needed to do a better job of planning prior to the start of the project. The major roadblock was the simple fact that the automated baggage system was designed after the airport co nstruction had already begun while it should have been included in the original design of the airport. Before beginning construction all the stakeholders needed to meet so as to put together a formalized plan. Lack of communication between DIA airport designers, city officials, the airlines and BAE further caused damage to the project. While this did not happen, the communication seemed more like a top down approach in this case. Give one public works (government) project that has similar or different fates since 1995, and draw in comparisons.The much recent failure of the DART mission by NASAs Marshall Space Flight Center is an example of a technology project that did not end up as expected. The DART projects biggest problem was that it only had one shot to test the technology. Complex hardware and software can fail from just one mistake or flaw. Mishap Investigation Board investigated the mishap and determined its underlying causes based on hardware testing, telemetry data analys is, and numerous simulations. So to compare with DIA project, we can find similarities in most aspects of its failure, like hardware and software malfunction, and along with testing problems. What are the general lessons for this case?As with any project, the initial step should be to recognize the situation and then work towards it. Had the project management team and the BAEs executives recognized their lack of knowledge and the complexities they were facing, they could possibly reduced the risk, if not avoid it. It would have been a helpful knowledge to listen to those who did have the necessary prior experience. Stakeholder conflict, as in this case, with poorly defined roles and responsibilities and almost non-existent communication can lead to disastrous project results.

Suicide among college students Essay -- essays research papers fc

SUICIDE AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTSSuicide has become a critical, national problem and the extent of this is mind-boggling. Suicides have been proven to be 1 of the leading ca expenditures of death among college students. According to Webters dictionary self-annihilation is the act putting to death oneself on purpose. It derived from the Latin sui, meaning self, and caedere, which means to fine-tune. But this is just a definition, because an actual suicide holds different meanings to wad such as tragic, shocking, a relief, a cry for swear out, a shame, heroic, the chasten choice, punishment, r plainge, protest, anger, a mistake, desperate, hurtful and m all more. But why do people, wish well college students who have their entire future ahead of them, simply give up hope and turn their heads away from life and commit suicide. There argon several causes of suicide, recent incidents of suicide on college campuses, warning signs from a suicidal. I blame the Constitution and the Unit ed States law for not taking either hard initiative on the subject of suicide. I likewise apply the choice of the media, which is reflecting and portraying suicide towards a wrong direction. However intimately important questions remain can the growing epidemic of suicide be solved, what are communities doing about it and what can they do to help? The first and outermost question that comes in my mind is why do college students commit suicide? wherefore would the quiet, shy chemistry major student sitting beside to you in the library jump from his 14th floor dorm? Why would a talented athlete on the basketball team use a gun to kill herself? The causes for committing suicide can range from depression, family and human relationship problems, expectations, pressure to succeed and academic failure, financial stableness, not reaching the culture that is desired and many more.

Be aware of their environment and inform any sign of suicide among their peers so that they can immediately get help before it gets too late. It depends on individual, some college students manage to survive and even flourish under the most difficult circumstances, while others flounder under the same conditions.

Free Essay: Tim OBriens Things They Carried :: Things They Carried Essays

The Things They Carried             Vietnam War was one of the hardest wars always fought.  There are several reasons for this statement.  It was basically impossible to conquer the stain because there were no boundaries.  The soldiers had to put up with the climate, land, diseases and most importantly themselves.  This set ab emerge is about yet a nonher reason the kin between the soldiers and the police officers.             It is truly reasonable to say that American soldiers entering the Vietnam were not disciplined enough.  The mediocre age of a soldier in Vietnam was eighteen.  Nobody found it essential to train these kids to handle all the problems they run into.  The service ruined their fresh childhood and they had to grow up early  If anything went wrong, they would simply blame the officer in charge.  Tim OBrien illustrated this nicely in his story In The Field.  Lieutenant pry Cross felt guilty for Kiowas death.  He blamed himself for not intellection about his troops even though he did what he was supposed(p) to do.  Couple of soldiers were pissed off about Kiowas death.  They blamed it all on Lieutenant even though they knew it was not his fault.  Then they let their emotions out and the situation turned to be out of control.  OBrien describes it syntactically.  He is trying to bend us that all the soldiers knew Jimmy was not guilty, but some soldiers plainly had to blame it on somebody.     Some lieutenant, Sanders said.  Camps us in a toilet.  Man dont sleep together shit. Nobody knew, Bowker said. Maybe so, maybe not.  Ten billion places we couldve set up last night, the cosmos picks a latrine. ...It wasnt the LTs fault, Bowker said quietly. Whose then? Nobodys.  Nobody knew till afterward. (180).          &nbs p  This entire calamity was by far the toughest on Jimmy Cross.  He had to deal with himself and his pamper soldiers.  He was emotionally shook up with Kiowas death and he did not appreciate Mitchells reaction.  Accidents like this one lead to a distant relationship between the officer and the soldiers.  Soldiers usually protest and officers have to punish them.  This of passage leads to more violence and some of the outcomes can be deadly.

Abortion from an Ethical Point of View Essay -- Papers Birth Pregnancy

Abortion from an Ethical Point of View It is widely authentic that the accompaniment of miscarriage has been a subject of conversation and controversy for many an(prenominal) decades. Since the proportion of people who accept abortion as a ? median(prenominal)? procedure is equal to the proportion of those who think of abortion as a ?crime?, through time a lot of measurements have been interpreted against abortion but concerning it?s defense as well. Although the fact of abortion has been examined through it?s scientific and religious side, in this assignment we volition try and examine abortion from an ethical point of view. The best guidance for soulfulness to refer to abortion on an ethical basis would in all likelihood be through the description and evaluation of the subject based on two of the most known theoretical approach pathes those of Kant?s and of Utilitarianism (Act and Rule). Beginning with the approach of Utilitarianism, we must say that Utilitarianism, is conc erned basically with pleasure and with pain. Therefore someone should be concerned with the amounts of pleasure and pain in situations where abortion is permitted as contrasted with the amounts of pleasure and pain where abortion is forbidden. It might be suggested that the main consideration would be the interests of the fetus non only can its future manner be expectedly happy (or at least having a balance of delight over suffering) it might also be the case that the abortion itself is painful, especially if it occurs later in the pregnancy. However this focus on the fetus is raging since any suffering involved in the abortion itself can be avoided by simply aborting the pregnancy sooner (before the fetus has even positive the capability of suffering), or with painless techniques. The direct suffering of the fetus c... ...e succeeding(prenominal) nine months and beyond. These factors carry at least some weight. Other potentially overriding factors complicate the rights of t he fetus, such as whether the pregnancy resulted from rape, or contraception failure. Whatever the decision of a woman will be, it is a fact that she should be aware of all the elements mentioned above. I personally believe what canful Locke implies in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690) that ?it is part of the worship of God, not to kill another man, not to procure abortion, not to expose their children, not Bibliography BIBLIOGRAPHY 1.
