Managers should take time out to study the cultural eccentricities of their business counterparts before attempting to make contact with people in other countries. As Kinicki & Williams state, "And you'll have to deal with managers above and below you whose outlook is different from yours. For instance, Japanese companies, with their emphasis on correctness and face saving, operate in significantly different ways from American companies" (p. 109). Class: What would you think about a situation, for example, a different culture where eye contact was a form of insult or indignation? What other cues might you use to make your assessment? Since the world is becoming a smaller place, this may be a reality you might face at any time? .

Prostatectomy patients’ postoperative pain assessment in the recovery room
Aim. This paper reports a study to assess the usability and use of different pain assessment tools and to compare patients’ and nurses’ pain assessments in the recovery room after prostatectomy.
Background. Pain assessment is the first step towards providing adequate pain relief but poses problems because of the subjective nature of the pain experience and the lack of quantifiable measurements. Pain tools have been tested in several clinical settings, but not in the recovery room.
Methods. Data were collected in the recovery room from 45 consecutive patients who had undergone prostatectomy by asking them to evaluate their pain intensity using visual analogue scale, numeric rating scale and verbal expressions. One of two research nurses measured patients’ pain at regular intervals and at the same time as the patients. Physiological parameters were also evaluated. Data were analysed as frequencies and percentages. Sum variables were formed and results were analysed using Spearman’s rank correlation, Pearson’s correlation and with multiple regression analysis.
Results. Patients varied in their ability to assess the intensity of their pain using different tools, but assessments were correlated with each o ...

For this assignment reply each question by your thought.
1.In the case study of Johnny, the behavior I will explain will be his temper and behavior with other children at school. I will first explain this behavioral pattern using Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. In psychoanalysis, Freud focused attention on the unconscious mind. The foundation of psychoanalysis is that unconscious thoughts and internal conflicts are responsible for our conscious thoughts and actions. These unconscious thoughts are repressed, which is the defense mechanism that shuts out any anxiety-arousing wishes, thoughts, and feelings from our conscious mind. Freud believed that this repression could enable other defense mechanisms such as regression, reaction formation, projection, rationalization, displacement, and denial. In Johnny’s case, he is most likely experiencing displacement — the shifting of sexual or aggressive impulses towards more acceptable or less threatening people. Johnny acts out his aggressive impulses towards other children his own age since they do not pose a threat to him. As for the cause of Johnny’s temper, it is possible that Johnny could be wrestling with an Oedipus complex. This complex is when a boy develops sexual desires for his mother, while simultaneously fostering jealousy and hatred for his father, who he now views as a rival. This complex occurs during the Phallic stage of Freud’s psychosexual stages, usually when a child is between the ages of 3 and 6. However, a strong conflict can keep a person fixated in a stage even after that stage is over. So even though Johnny is 7, he could still be dealing with unresolved feelings about his parents, which in turn causes the displacement that triggers the aggressive impulses towards his classmates.
Looking at Johnny’s behavior from a humanistic perspective, I would look at the ways in which Johnny’s current environment nurtures or limits his growth potential. Rogers’ approach to humanistic theory was a person-centered perspective — that people are essentially good and equipped with self-actualization tendencies. People are ready for growth and fulfillment provided that they are in a growth-promoting environment that contains three elements: genuineness, acceptance, and empathy. Johnny is unable to be genuine with his classmates since he is not open with his own feelings and does not drop his facade, which in this case, is his combative persona. Johnny also seems to lack empathy towards his classmates. There is also an element of acceptance missing since Johnny isn’t willing to let his guard down around his peers in recreational settings, as well as showing an inability to have unconditional positive regard, which is an attitude of total acceptance towards others. Since Johnny has shown an aggressive nature with his classmates in the form of name-calling, being argumentative and short-tempered, it is possible that this is the result of being exposed to an environment that does not contain the ne ...

For the questions below, choose ONE to which to respond. OPTIO
For the questions below, choose ONE to which to respond.
OPTION ONE: Beowulf and monsters in the epic
Beowulf faces three monsters in
the epic poem (i.e., NOT the film)
: Grendel, Grendel's mother, and the dragon. Which of the three represents the greatest challenge to Beowulf? Why? In your response, be sure to closely analyze the language of the Heaney translation.
OPTION TWO: Protagonists and Antagonists in Beowulf
Arguably,
Beowulf
deals with protagonists and antagonists differently than does Homer's
Iliad
or Sophocles's
Oedipus Rex.
Write an essay in which you define "protagonist" and "antagonist" as they apply to Oedipus and/or Achilles. It may help to re-read the introduction to both Sophocles and Homer in doing so. Then discuss how
Beowulf
contains a changed understanding of "protagonist," using either Hrothgar, or Beowulf, or any other possible protagonist, as an example. Do the same with "antagonist" using an example from the poem.
OPTION THREE the Scariest and Worth the Most
Grendel in translation
from Anglo-Saxon into English (up to 3 points of Extra Credit available for a complete response to the prompt
below).
Throughout class this quarter, we have discussed how TRANSLATION is an act of INTERPRETATION or ANALYSIS, in which the translator has to decide what he thinks the original text
means
in moments that are puzzling, or confusing, or ambiguous. Once the translator interprets the text, he then tries to include this interpretation, somehow, in English.
For instance, Lombardo's
Iliad
decides to focus on the pleasure warriors take in insulting each other, their invective a form of art: "You sack of wine!" In this way, he emphasizes how Achilles's and Agamemnon's arguments are as funny as they are frightening or serious, which brings these "heroes" down to earth.
Review the introduction to
Beowulf,
especially the bottom of page 888 and page 889, which highlights the rhythmic and structural qualities of the Old English line, including alliteration and caesura (also defined in your Terminology Sheet for Beowulf and in class).
Consult your print out (also found in your BB folder for
Audio and Visual Supplements to Beowulf
) which includes five translations of the introduction of Grendel into the epic poem: the Seamus Heaney translation we've read for class from the
Norton Anthology
, one by Kevin Crossely-Holland, one by Marijane Osborn, one by Frances B. Grummere, and one by Michael Alexander. The original Anglo-Saxon version of the lines is at the bottom.
Then, write a reflective essay that does the following:
1. Define, in your own words, alliteration and caesura, and give one example of each from the Anglo-Saxon lines at the bottom of the handout. Just quote the Anglo-Saxon as it appears on the handout (you don't have to worry about typing strange accents or letters).
For instance, you might write,
we find alliteration in the 'w' sound in "wlitebeorht ...

Interventions are often facilitated by outside organizational development consultants or employees within the organization who have the competencies associated with a trusted change agent. In this case, you are going to take the role of an outside consultant.
Interventions can be done at the individual level, team level, and organizational level. What is important to keep in mind is the objective of all interventions is to help improve the effectiveness of individuals, groups, teams, and organizations.
An intervention strategy can be relatively simple in terms of one initiative to address a problem. For example, a company develops a safety committee after this was identified as an operating deficiency. However, most intervention strategies are more complex and have more than one initiative or sub-strategies which make up one large strategy. The complex approach is what you will do for your Prison X – Leadership Intervention Strategy for this course.

1. In many of the readings assigned thus far in the course the factors shaping the growth of transnational crime and its relation to national security have been discussed. Identify at least
four
(4) of these factors and present how each contributes to i) the proliferation of transnational crime and ii) how it relates to national security. Which one(s) do you think is/are the strongest contributor? Give evidence and rationale to support your claim.
2. An important aspect to developing effective programs and policies in response to transnational crime problems involves the understanding of the nature of criminality. Using material provided within the course, present and discuss the evidence on whether those who engage in transnational crime are acting on unique opportunity structures or whether they are inherently deviant or destined to be criminals. Explain why this would be important for the crafting of programs and policies. Give examples.
3. In part of the readings by Naim it is asserted that the creation of borders and laws actually have the reverse effect. That is, rather than curtailing transnational crime they actually serve to create and amplify illicit markets while creating new opportunities for organized crime groups. Explain what he means by this, provide some examples, and discuss the implications of this for the development of effective programs and policy.
4. Do some independent research online and identify a news story which exemplifies some instance of transnational crime. Then conduct some broader background research on that specific event to better understand the context within which it occurred. Develop 4 to 6 citations for referencing.
Present an overview of the incident which you are reporting on;
Present an explanation within the broader area context within which it occurred; and
Discuss the incident and situation you have chosen in relation to at least three (3) theories or ideas that have been identified within this course.

For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and l
For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:
Option 1:
The framers of the Constitution were concerned that everyday citizens would not be able to understand or comprehend the makings of our government. They felt that everyday citizens were uninformed and did not care what was going on in our government. Even today we see where citizens are interested in government affairs seemingly only if our country is in turmoil such as unemployment, recessions, civil unrest, etc. Do you agree with this assessment? Are we uninformed? Do we wait till a crisis happens to voice our opinions?
Option 2:
Many experts see the media as biased and more like infotainment. In fact, many people have turned to social networks as an outlet for news instead of CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN and other news stations. Do you see this as an issue? Do you see the news as biased or unbiased? Should there be more restrictions on the news stations?
Be sure to make connections between your ideas and conclusions and the research, concepts, terms, and theory we are discussing this week.

Prostatectomy patients’ postoperative pain assessment in the recovery room
Aim. This paper reports a study to assess the usability and use of different pain assessment tools and to compare patients’ and nurses’ pain assessments in the recovery room after prostatectomy.
Background. Pain assessment is the first step towards providing adequate pain relief but poses problems because of the subjective nature of the pain experience and the lack of quantifiable measurements. Pain tools have been tested in several clinical settings, but not in the recovery room.
Methods. Data were collected in the recovery room from 45 consecutive patients who had undergone prostatectomy by asking them to evaluate their pain intensity using visual analogue scale, numeric rating scale and verbal expressions. One of two research nurses measured patients’ pain at regular intervals and at the same time as the patients. Physiological parameters were also evaluated. Data were analysed as frequencies and percentages. Sum variables were formed and results were analysed using Spearman’s rank correlation, Pearson’s correlation and with multiple regression analysis.
Results. Patients varied in their ability to assess the intensity of their pain using different tools, but assessments were correlated with each o ...

For this assignment reply each question by your thought.
1.In the case study of Johnny, the behavior I will explain will be his temper and behavior with other children at school. I will first explain this behavioral pattern using Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. In psychoanalysis, Freud focused attention on the unconscious mind. The foundation of psychoanalysis is that unconscious thoughts and internal conflicts are responsible for our conscious thoughts and actions. These unconscious thoughts are repressed, which is the defense mechanism that shuts out any anxiety-arousing wishes, thoughts, and feelings from our conscious mind. Freud believed that this repression could enable other defense mechanisms such as regression, reaction formation, projection, rationalization, displacement, and denial. In Johnny’s case, he is most likely experiencing displacement — the shifting of sexual or aggressive impulses towards more acceptable or less threatening people. Johnny acts out his aggressive impulses towards other children his own age since they do not pose a threat to him. As for the cause of Johnny’s temper, it is possible that Johnny could be wrestling with an Oedipus complex. This complex is when a boy develops sexual desires for his mother, while simultaneously fostering jealousy and hatred for his father, who he now views as a rival. This complex occurs during the Phallic stage of Freud’s psychosexual stages, usually when a child is between the ages of 3 and 6. However, a strong conflict can keep a person fixated in a stage even after that stage is over. So even though Johnny is 7, he could still be dealing with unresolved feelings about his parents, which in turn causes the displacement that triggers the aggressive impulses towards his classmates.
Looking at Johnny’s behavior from a humanistic perspective, I would look at the ways in which Johnny’s current environment nurtures or limits his growth potential. Rogers’ approach to humanistic theory was a person-centered perspective — that people are essentially good and equipped with self-actualization tendencies. People are ready for growth and fulfillment provided that they are in a growth-promoting environment that contains three elements: genuineness, acceptance, and empathy. Johnny is unable to be genuine with his classmates since he is not open with his own feelings and does not drop his facade, which in this case, is his combative persona. Johnny also seems to lack empathy towards his classmates. There is also an element of acceptance missing since Johnny isn’t willing to let his guard down around his peers in recreational settings, as well as showing an inability to have unconditional positive regard, which is an attitude of total acceptance towards others. Since Johnny has shown an aggressive nature with his classmates in the form of name-calling, being argumentative and short-tempered, it is possible that this is the result of being exposed to an environment that does not contain the ne ...

For the questions below, choose ONE to which to respond. OPTIO
For the questions below, choose ONE to which to respond.
OPTION ONE: Beowulf and monsters in the epic
Beowulf faces three monsters in
the epic poem (i.e., NOT the film)
: Grendel, Grendel's mother, and the dragon. Which of the three represents the greatest challenge to Beowulf? Why? In your response, be sure to closely analyze the language of the Heaney translation.
OPTION TWO: Protagonists and Antagonists in Beowulf
Arguably,
Beowulf
deals with protagonists and antagonists differently than does Homer's
Iliad
or Sophocles's
Oedipus Rex.
Write an essay in which you define "protagonist" and "antagonist" as they apply to Oedipus and/or Achilles. It may help to re-read the introduction to both Sophocles and Homer in doing so. Then discuss how
Beowulf
contains a changed understanding of "protagonist," using either Hrothgar, or Beowulf, or any other possible protagonist, as an example. Do the same with "antagonist" using an example from the poem.
OPTION THREE the Scariest and Worth the Most
Grendel in translation
from Anglo-Saxon into English (up to 3 points of Extra Credit available for a complete response to the prompt
below).
Throughout class this quarter, we have discussed how TRANSLATION is an act of INTERPRETATION or ANALYSIS, in which the translator has to decide what he thinks the original text
means
in moments that are puzzling, or confusing, or ambiguous. Once the translator interprets the text, he then tries to include this interpretation, somehow, in English.
For instance, Lombardo's
Iliad
decides to focus on the pleasure warriors take in insulting each other, their invective a form of art: "You sack of wine!" In this way, he emphasizes how Achilles's and Agamemnon's arguments are as funny as they are frightening or serious, which brings these "heroes" down to earth.
Review the introduction to
Beowulf,
especially the bottom of page 888 and page 889, which highlights the rhythmic and structural qualities of the Old English line, including alliteration and caesura (also defined in your Terminology Sheet for Beowulf and in class).
Consult your print out (also found in your BB folder for
Audio and Visual Supplements to Beowulf
) which includes five translations of the introduction of Grendel into the epic poem: the Seamus Heaney translation we've read for class from the
Norton Anthology
, one by Kevin Crossely-Holland, one by Marijane Osborn, one by Frances B. Grummere, and one by Michael Alexander. The original Anglo-Saxon version of the lines is at the bottom.
Then, write a reflective essay that does the following:
1. Define, in your own words, alliteration and caesura, and give one example of each from the Anglo-Saxon lines at the bottom of the handout. Just quote the Anglo-Saxon as it appears on the handout (you don't have to worry about typing strange accents or letters).
For instance, you might write,
we find alliteration in the 'w' sound in "wlitebeorht ...

For the project for this course, you will develop a Leadership I
For the project for this course, you will develop a Leadership Intervention Strategy (LIS) for a make-believe prison that has asked for your help.
What is a leadership intervention?
The term "intervention" refers to a set of sequenced, planned actions or events intended to help an organization increase its effectiveness. Interventions are often facilitated by outside organizational development consultants or employees within the organization who have the competencies associated with a trusted change agent. In this case, you are going to take the role of an outside consultant.
Interventions can be done at the individual level, team level, and organizational level. What is important to keep in mind is the objective of all interventions is to help improve the effectiveness of individuals, groups, teams, and organizations.
An intervention strategy can be relatively simple in terms of one initiative to address a problem. For example, a company develops a safety committee after this was identified as an operating deficiency. However, most intervention strategies are more complex and have more than one initiative or sub-strategies which make up one large strategy. The complex approach is what you will do for your Prison X – Leadership Intervention Strategy for this course.
Components to Include in the Project
Your deliverable for Week 1 of the project constitutes a case overview and an initial analysis of specific critical issues, needs, and challenges that may be affecting this organization and its culture.
Tasks:
Read the
CASE
(attached) of Prison X - Leadership Intervention Strategy.
Summarize the Case Scenario
Provide a background of the purpose for intervention.
Summarize the key facts of the case.
Conduct a Needs Analysis
Analyze the specific critical issues, needs, and challenges that may be affecting this organization and its culture.
Generally, evaluation of topics and sources should include four or five resources and one or two pages of analysis.

Explain what he means by this, provide some examples, and discuss the implications of this for the development of effective programs and policy.
4. Do some independent research online and identify a news story which exemplifies some instance of transnational crime. Then conduct some broader background research on that specific event to better understand the context within which it occurred. Develop 4 to 6 citations for referencing.
Present an overview of the incident which you are reporting on;
Present an explanation within the broader area context within which it occurred; and
Discuss the incident and situation you have chosen in relation to at least three (3) theories or ideas that have been identified within this course.

For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and l
For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:
Option 1:
The framers of the Constitution were concerned that everyday citizens would not be able to understand or comprehend the makings of our government. They felt that everyday citizens were uninformed and did not care what was going on in our government. Even today we see where citizens are interested in government affairs seemingly only if our country is in turmoil such as unemployment, recessions, civil unrest, etc. Do you agree with this assessment? Are we uninformed? Do we wait till a crisis happens to voice our opinions?
Option 2:
Many experts see the media as biased and more like infotainment. In fact, many people have turned to social networks as an outlet for news instead of CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN and other news stations. Do you see this as an issue? Do you see the news as biased or unbiased? Should there be more restrictions on the news stations?
Be sure to make connections between your ideas and conclusions and the research, concepts, terms, and theory we are discussing this week.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Managers should take time out to study the cultural eccentricities o.docx
- 1. Managers should take time out to study the cultural eccentricities of their business counterparts before attempting to make contact with people in other countries. As Kinicki & Williams state, "And you'll have to deal with managers above and below you whose outlook is different from yours. For instance, Japanese companies, with their emphasis on correctness and face saving, operate in significantly different ways from American companies" (p. 109). Class: What would you think about a situation, for example, a different culture where eye contact was a form of insult or indignation? What other cues might you use to make your assessment? Since the world is becoming a smaller place, this may be a reality you might face at any time?
