Introduction

In the United States, as well as the world at large, the issue of violence against women remains a pressing problem. With thirty years experience in preventing and overcoming violence, Americans carefully calculate the extent of the problems and risks associated with it. Thus, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 25% of women in the US are exposed to domestic violence in their lifetime. It is also proved that women aged 20-24 are most likely to be abused by an intimate partner. And every sixth woman during her lifetime was the victim of rape or attempted rape.

Problem-oriented policing (POP)

Problem-oriented policing is a police strategy that involves in the analysis and evaluation of a specific crime to create effective responses. This approach involves root cause analysis that identifies the reason/reasons behind the occurrence of a specific crime. The strategy then evolves on solving these reasons and eliminating the foundation for the crime. This strategy was formulated by Herman Goldstein in 1979. This model was expanded by John Eck and William Spelman in 1987. They jointly designed the SARA model. The SARA model is Scanning, Analysis, Response and Assessment (COPS, 2015).
This paper evaluates and analyses the possible implementation Continue reading...

Electromagnetic pulse can be very dangerous, despite the fact that very few people know about their existence and possible effects.

VANET

1. Introduction
Vehicular Ad Hoc Network, abbreviated as VANET, is a system where vehicles like cars have the possibility of digitally communicating with one another, and communicating with a stationary object, for example a building or a traffic light. These communications are of short-range types. Concretely, the three types of communications provided in VANET are: inter-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-roadside communication and inter-roadside communication. In all these communications, there are no usage of a base station or any additional dedicated infrastructure like an access point to facilitate the digital communications. This is a unique property of VANET.
Through VANET, vehicles may Continue reading...

Introduction

The world is witnessing the bloody battle of good and evil since the prehistoric times, and therefore, the war is raging and ongoing. Evil attains an upper hand in the fight when good people remain silent in the response to injustice and crime. However, people are there who have the purified hearts, and clean wills those they use in order to confront wrong day in and day out. The story of Beowulf summarily argues that one must remain thankful and grateful to those who lent a favor to them or their families. King Hrothgar was a celebrated warrior in Continue reading...

As early as the 1930’s, discussions concerning the identification and treatment of alcoholism have challenged the medical community (Jellinek, 1960). The models for treatment all demanded abstinence; people who drank to access were considered immoral and/or diseased. The health risks associated with excessive drinking include the common cold, cancer, bone density, cognitive functions, high blood pressure, stroke, ulcers, atherosclerosis, and heart disease (Hingson & Rehm, 2013). However, the effect of drinking alcohol is difficult to determine due to under reporting, errors in perception of time or amounts ingested, and methods of data collection.
A literature review was conducted of Continue reading...

Stress is undoubtedly among the inevitable parts of every person’s daily lives. Simply put, everybody cannot avoid experiencing stress everyday.

Often associated with anxiety, fear, threat, and burnouts, stress is generally demarcated as a negative feature of life that everyone experiences, even children. Children, just like adults, also experience stress from various sources and the effects of such Continue reading...

Peer mediation decreases the level of conflict in urban schools. The conflicts in school could be initiated from factors within the school, or outside the school. According to a research that was done by William Paterson University, violence in schools is a process that is highly dynamic and contextual. Adolescent aggressiveness is rooted in the environment of the adolescent . The physical security measures that are put in schools only make the school environment seem strict and unaccommodating. At least that is what the literature review reveals concerning the perspective of the students on such measures . According to Frost, “The Continue reading...

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that is not synthesized by the body and has to be obtained through diet and by the interaction of the UVB rays with the skin (Shuler et al. 2012, p. 496). A study on the levels of vitamin D in an average British adult showed that more than 50% of the adults had vitamin D deficiency and 16% of them exhibit severe insufficiency during winters (Hyppönen and Power 2007, p. 862). This low level of vitamin D synthesis in winter is attributed to the blockage of UVB rays reaching the Continue reading...

According to the Oxford Dictionary of English (2010), a slumlord is “A landlord of slum property, typically one who charges extortionate rents”. Concurrently, the literature on slum proprietors and slum dwellers provide two distinct ways of defining a slumlord, each revolving around the given definition. First, based on property ownership, some of the literature identifies a slumlord as the proprietor of an area befitting the characteristics of a slum. According to the United Nations' Human Settlements Program (2012) slums have “deplorable living and environmental conditions and are characterized by inadequate water supply, poor sanitation, overcrowded and dilapidated housing" (p.99).

All literature is, to some extent, a product of the context, the environment in which the creator lives. This environment could be immediate (such as within the immediate community and the people one interacts with in their daily lives) or broader (such as global).
Bob Dylan’s A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall is not different. The lyrics and seem to speak much for the times in which it was created (1962-1963). Most importantly, it explores a wide range of themes that seemed to have dominated the American and global social and political spaces. It explores themes and imagery Continue reading...

Introduction and Rational

How it started
The Arab Spring began in Tunisia following the dramatic suicide of a young poor street peddler named Mohammed Bouazizi in December 2010. The young street vendor was trying to save some money in order to pay tuition for community college. A local police officer, however, killed the dream of the young peddler. When the police officer asked Bouazizi to move away from the street, he continued working since he had no other way to make a living. As the police officer asked him again, he took his cart and slapped him in Continue reading...

Every culture in the human history had its own model of development and a certain ideal to follow. These ideals could be conditioned by territorial specifics or historical reasons. On the other hand, some ideals were conditioned by the reasons that created certain cultures and kept them going in the times of difficulties and struggles. American culture is no an exception. Being formed on the basis of free will and one’s ability to achieve success through hard work and commitment, the American culture created the ideal of the American dream. This ideal became the topic of various social Continue reading...

What is the Historical Memory Law?

In 2002 Spain was recognized by the United Nations as one country that still had not done anything about the missing people from the civil war and unfair retaining of people as prisoners by the dictator at the time (Davis). The historical memory law was introduced by Spain’s socialist workers party government or PSOE in 2006 to recognize at long last the justice for General Francisco Franco’s horrible and numbered amount of murders during his rule were shameful and unacceptable. During Francisco’s rule there was a civil war that lasted from 1936 to 1939 and Francisco Continue reading...

Monster stories are often most effective when they serve as symbols or allegories for greater human concerns. Most effective as a symbol is the zombie – that lifeless, shambling reminder of one’s mortality and eventual uselessness. In Michael Swanwick’s short story, “The Dead,” the zombie is used as a metaphor for several different things, all relating to the anxieties of industrialization and automation of labor. The human characters are upper-class businessmen and women, who allow zombies to serve menial jobs in manufacturing, as wait staff, and as entertainment. The dead are referred to as “Postanthropic biological resources,” and Continue reading...

Abstract

Workplace diversity is a broad and often contentious term to define fully. However, its abuses lead the United States Congress to pass Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1969, which created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and tasked it to implement the Act and the subsequent diversity laws, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 and the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Historically, the acceptance of the diversity concept particularly among companies took years to grow. And EEOC’s enforcement power came years after its establishment in 1969. Managing workplace diversity only gained favor Continue reading...

Chua’s article, “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior,” claims that Chinese parents are superior. The angle she used to emphasis the argument of Chinese parents as superior to Western parents is attempted through humor, irony, and in a self-reprimanding manner. She is fairly successful at the attempt in certain ways.

Humor

The use of irony as a method of humor is placed throughout the article, in an attempt to be funny. Western audiences did not seem to understand or appreciate any humor in the article, instead referring to her as a monster (Kate Zernike, 3). This prompted Chua to respond Continue reading...

Food itself does not readily cause diseases except when it contains intrinsic toxins or allergenic components, or when consumed in toxic or physically incapacitating quantities. Many of the infectious agents capable of causing foodborne diseases readily occur in enormous numbers. A variety of pathogens present in different types of food can cause illnesses, which may be life threatening. Examples of such pathogens are Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella . The exposure of human beings to a variety of foodborne pathogens readily occur over secure geographical barriers at a higher rate, which the human evolution cannot keep pace.
