Mingzhi Hu First Paper 3/5/2020 POLS 203 Application of Realism Theory on Civil war in Syria and International Relations International relation can be best understood through the various schools of thought or rather theories. They are significant in giving a comprehensive detail of the constructs that make international relations. Realism theory still remains one of the most influential tools in understanding events related to international relations. This is because it provides a pragmatic approach in examining current events in the sphere of international relations (Maghroori, pg. 17). Realism is divided into three subdivisions, seeking to explain causes of state conflict. This include classical realism that argues that the conflict comes from the nature of man, neorealist which associates conflict the elements of the state, and neoclassical realism which associates it to both human nature and elements of the state. This school of thought is grounded on some fundamental principles that make the core of its arguments. The first assumption in realism is the idea that a country, usually referred to as a state, serves as the main actor in international relations. It acknowledges the fact that there are other actors like individuals and organizations, which have limited influence (Maghroori 11). Secondly, the state is considered a unitary player, which is expected to work harmoniously, with regard to matters of national interest. In addition, realists believe that the people who make decisions are rational players, since this rationality is required in pursuing the interest of the nation. In essence, the leaders are believed to understand these assumptions regardless of their Laci Hubbard-Mattix 90000004849605 But selfish Laci Hubbard-Mattix 90000004849605 Laci Hubbard-Mattix 90000004849605 What do you mean by "work harmoniously" Laci Hubbard-Mattix 90000004849605 It is not clear what this sentence means. political position, so ensure their sustainability and continuity. Consequently, it is assumed that states exist in an anarchy context, where there is no single international leader. In this theorization, the role of nature in influencing human action is not ignored. It asserts that nature influence people to continue acting in repetitive tendencies. In this assumption, it comes out that people desire power because of the egoistic nature. The innate selfishness of human beings, mistrust and their thirst for power explains the unpredicted consequences that can result from their actions (Maghroori 20). Such human tendencies can explain the unending wars among nations. Bearing the fact that nations are governed by human beings, their nature contributes largely to their behavioral tendencies, which in turn influence its security. Realist therefore assume that leaders have the responsibility to promote the security of their country in all fronts. This can be realized through consta.

Miller, 1 Sarah Miller Professor Kristen Johnson C.docx

Miller, 1 Sarah Miller Professor Kristen Johnson CHID 230 2 April 2019 The Myth of Disability as Isolating in Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands Jay Timothy Dolmage discusses the common disability myths that condition our understanding of disability in his work Disability Rhetoric. He argues that these myths create the perception that disabled people are “others”, through the portrayal of them as lesser, surplus, or improper (Dolmage, 31). One of the myths that Dolmage examines is disability as isolating or individualizing, which is perpetrated through narratives of disabled people living in isolation, rarely having romantic relationships or friendships, and often being left alone at the end (Dolmage, 43). This myth can be seen in the film Edward Scissorhands, directed by Tim Burton. Edward is a human being created by an inventor, yet the inventor’s death before his completion leaves him with scissor blades for hands. Edward lives in a gothic mansion atop a hill, completely in isolation until local Avon saleswoman Peg Boggs visits. She is initially frightened by his appearance, yet decides to take him home with her upon the realization that he is harmless. Edward’s disability causes his transition into society to be largely unsuccessful, as he is objectified and used by other people for their benefit, and at the end of the film he is forced to return to living in isolation after their perception of him turns to one of fear and scorn. Edward’s isolation from society is symbolically portrayed through many film design techniques. The mansion in which he lives at the beginning and the end of the film starkly contrasts the community in which the able-bodied society lives. The mansion is gothic, dark, and partially in ruins, whereas the rest of the houses are brightly colored in pinks, yellows, and Miller, 2 greens, all with perfectly manicured green lawns. His appearance also separates him from the rest of society, as he has very pale skin, dark under-eyes, black untamed hair, and wears gothic industrial clothes. The able-bodied individuals often wear colorful or light clothes and appear quite “ordinary”. The contrast created between Edward and society through set, clothing, makeup, and hair design work to portray Edward and his disability as unusual, creepy, and “other”. Peg even attempts to “normalize” his appearance by giving him different clothes to wear and attempting to cover his scars with makeup, in the hopes that it will ease his transition into the community. This film phenomenon is discussed by Martin F. Norden in his book The Cinema of Isolation: A History of Physical Disabilities in the Movies. He argues that filmmakers will separate disabled characters from their able-bodied peers not only through the storyline, but also through a number of design elements. He also states that this technique allows filmmakers to reflect an able-bodied point of view and reduce d.

Michelle Wrote; There are several different reasons why an intervention fails, such as the wrong intervention being selected or trying to solve the wrong problem. It is important that when performing and intervention that every thing have been severely observed and taken into consideration. I worked with an organization that was a travel agency, and they operated off of the commission that was collected from the booking that are processed, but they also provided a discount to the members that was taken out of the commission total. The issue was that when they initially opened the department there was no budget plan done and no guidelines were given, the agents were told to use discretion, and all though the department was a huge success in booking reservations they were still failing, because they were not withholding enough commission for the organization to operate under. Where the intervention process failed is that they never had formal training, which would have been a focus group to define the exact percentage to give to customer and the amount the organization needed to cover their overhead. During the meeting process there should have been definite guidelines to lead employees and managers from the accounting department so that the employees did not need to play the guessing game. Although they had the meeting nothing changed, because the problem was not solved with the employees and managers and was not addressed by the accounting department. The business is now in danger of folding because of the poor communication practices. William Wrote: Although what I am going to talk about is not my workplace but the place that I volunteer my time to sit on the board of directors for a non profit agency. As a board member we oversee the agency as a whole but we also break down into small committee groups to address needs as they arise. One of the committees that I am on is the planning committee. A change that was implemented by administration, program staff, and the board was all departments would start entering all their own data. At the time the agency had two data entry personal that was entering all agency data. So the change we made was that instead of hiring another data entry person we would require all programs to enter their own data into the collection software. This ended up being a failure that could have been huge had we not pulled reports the first two quarters of the year. What we found was some programs were right on target with getting their information entered with the first quarter. The Executive Director addressed this with staff. When the second quarter reports were pulled the data did not get any better. As an agency this failed due to program staff just did not have the appropriate time to take on more data entry. The agency ended up where we should have to start off, hiring another data entry staff member. I will say with this failure it actually turned into a very positive experience over all. .

Midterm Lad Report 7 Midterm Lab Report Introduction Cellular respiration refers to all the metabolic processes and chemical reactions that take place in living organisms, particularly at the cellular level. These processes focus on the extraction of energy from nutrients. It is also responsible for converting the biochemical energy into 'adenosine triphosphate' (ATP) by the breakdown of sugars in the cells (Bennet 58). Cellular respiration is also responsible for the process by which cells release chemical energy required for conducting cellular activities. The reactions and processes facilitate the release of waste products from the cells. This experiment seeks to conduct a study of the processes and reactions involved during cellular respiration. The experiment will include several activities, such as having a study on the amount of Carbon dioxide produced during the experiment. The number of levels of the growth of a yeast medium as a dependent variable will also be monitored during the experiment. There are other several independent variables associated with the experiment. These independent variables include sugar and temperature, among others, and their role in the experiment were also monitored. The experiment design involved the use of airtight balloons capped over reaction chambers that were used to collect the Carbon dioxide produced during the experiment. The reaction chambers contained sugars and yeast medium, which facilitated the reactions. Thermometers and pH scale were used to monitor the changes in temperature and acidity levels during the experiment. The paper involves a lab design that institute steps such as arranging the bottles used on the experiment. Notably, a proper arrangement to make sure that all the carbon dioxide released during the respiration process is well tapped in the bottles for correct lab results Methodology The actual procedure for experimenting involved taking measurements and recording of all observations made during the experiment. For accurate results, measures were taken three times, and a mean measurement was calculated and recorded. Winzler asserts that the mean obtained from the measurements should be used to calculate the standard deviation, which in turn facilitated the calculation of uncertainty (276). Below are the steps for conducting the experiment. It is essential to read the instructions carefully safety and accuracy during the experiment. Notably, all the lab and experiment results were well observed and thus making sure that there are limited errors in the whole process. Consequently, all the steps required in the lab report were also clearly followed to help in getting the correct data and even not to affect the whole experiment process. The experiment involved setting the apparatus as per the set standard and the requirement. As per this concept, all the apparatus were set in a proper way to avoid vague results. Notably, to get the correct measurement and results, it is import.

Midterm Question Is the movement towards human security a true paradigm shift? In answering this question make sure to consider which of the authors whom you have read in Weeks one to four of the course support your view and which do not. *The sole use of attached readings is required for the midterm* Midterm Assignment – Instructions (Read Carefully) In university courses, assignments (or assessments) are meant to give students the opportunity to demonstrate what they have been learning in the course – and give instructors evidence that such learning is occurring within the classroom. Because of these objectives, it is imperative to incorporate the specifics of what you’ve been studying in the course into your writing assignments. You accomplish this by answering the Midterm question in the assessment via the course objectives and readings from the course. The midterm will cover the following objectives: 1. Describe the role of rapid globalization in changing perceptions of security 2. Identify key threats to human security (food security, personal security, environmental security) 3. Apply the concepts of human security 4. Compare and contrast traditional international relations approaches to security with the doctrine of human security. Additional Instructions To answer the Midterm question you will write an analytical essay. The analytical essay is a practical approach to solving a problem. So think of this essay question as you would an assignment from your boss: “I need you to take a look at this problem and solve it for me using things from your IR toolkit (what you have learned, or know). Present a well-written, concise answer to me in four pages. I need it by tomorrow morning.” This is how it happens in the real world, and this is what we want to prepare you to do. To achieve this structure of the essay please keep the following tips in mind: 1. Remember that the analytical essay is highly-structured. Each paragraph should look like the others in terms of style and substance. Writing to the limit of four pages is an art and something you need to learn to do. So, don’t write fewer than four pages and don’t write more. You may need to write over just a little and then edit away the extra parts of the essay to reach the concise four pages. 2. Review your submission and make sure that you have covered the requirements of the assignment using only material from the lessons and readings. Format for the Essay: 1. Do not use a cover page. Instead, create a header with your name, assignment name, and date. To do this in Word, go to “insert” and then “header.” Do the same thing to insert a ‘footer’ and include page numbers. If you need help, use the ‘help’ function to learn more within Word. 2. Your submission should be four pages (no more, no less) and look like this: a. Introduction: Introduce your topic & include a thesis. To help you set up your analytical essay include three reasons why you agree or disagree with the midterm quest.

MGT/230 v6 Nordstrom Case Study Analysis MGT/230 v6 Page 2 of 2 Nordstrom Case Study Analysis Nordstrom—“High Touch” with “High Tech” How does Nordstrom stay profitable despite dips in consumer spending, changing fashion trends, and intense competition among retailers? One answer: Acute attention to detail and well-laid plans. All in the Family The fourth generation of family members that runs Nordstrom has brought the store’s time-honored and successful retail practices into a new era. “Nordstrom, it seems, is that rarity in American business: an enterprise run by a founding family that hasn’t wrecked it,” says one business writer. The company provides a quality customer experience via personalized service, a compelling merchandise offering, a pleasant shopping environment, and increasingly better management of its inventory. Secret of Success The secret of this company’s success lies in its strategic planning efforts and the ability of its management team to set broad, comprehensive, and longer-term action directions, all of which are focused on the customer experience. The current generation of Nordstrom family members was quick to spearhead an ultramodern multimillion-dollar, Web-based inventory management system. This upgrade helped the company meet two key goals: (1) correlate purchasing with demand to keep inventory as lean as possible, and (2) give customers and sales associates a comprehensive view of Nordstrom’s entire inventory, including every store and warehouse. Demand Planning Instead of relying on one-day sales, coupon blitzes, or marking down entire lines of product, Nordstrom discounts only certain items. “Markdown optimization” software assists in planning more profitable sale prices. According to retail analyst, Patricia Edwards, this helps Nordstrom calculate what will sell better at different discounts and forecast which single items should be marked down. If a style is no longer in demand, the company can ship it off to its Nordstrom Rack outlet stores. It’s all part of Nordstrom’s long-term investment in efficiency. “If we can identify what is not performing and move it out to bring in fresh merchandise,” says Pete Nordstrom, “that’s a decision we want to make.” Inventory Planning Although inventory naturally fluctuates, Nordstrom associates can easily locate any item in another store or verify when it will return to stock. Customers on their smart phones and associates behind sales counters see the same thing—the entire inventory of Nordstrom’s stores is presented as one selection, which the company refers to as perpetual inventory. “Customer service is not just a friendly, helpful, knowledgeable salesperson helping you buy something,” says Robert Spector, retail expert and author of The Nordstrom Way. “Part of customer service is having the right item at the right size at the right price at the right time. And that’s something perpetual inventory will help with.” The upgraded inventory management system was an .

MGT 550 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview The final project for this course is the creation of a strategic communication case study. Effective communication skills are critical to success in almost all managerial positions. Several challenges exist surrounding the creation and implementation of effective communications both internally (inside organizations between individuals and groups) and externally (outside organizations with markets, partners, and other third parties). Technology, change, and the various needs of stakeholders are just a few of the concerns that impact business communications. This course is designed to help you communicate effectively in a variety of business settings with both internal and external stakeholders. Effective communication is a necessary tool for managing people and organizations. In this project, you will enhance your skills and knowledge of techniques in various communications to lead change, develop and maintain relationships, and address sources of conflict through effective communications tied to organizational goals and core visions. Through the development of a strategic communication case study, you will gain comprehensive, hands-on experience in evaluating and constructing communications that inform, persuade, and influence intended audiences in order to achieve strategic goals. Using the provided case study, you will identify issues that must be addressed from an organizational perspective. Additionally, you will make informed decisions regarding what actions to take, paying particular attention to appropriateness of communications and mediums, as well as evaluating effectiveness. To access the final project case study, “Research in Motion: Sincerely, a RIM Employee (A),” refer to the MGT-550 Textbook/Case Study Bundle mentioned in the syllabus. The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:  Differentiate appropriate communication strategies that address a variety of audiences  Generate clear communication materials that promote strategic goals  Develop communications using change management principles for supporting employee development  Determine strategies to assess the reception of communication for informing appropriate next steps  Analyze sources of conflict for determining appropriate communication response techniques for internal and external stakeholders Prompt Your strategic communication case study should answer the following prompt: What messages should be communicated in response to the presented issue, who are the target audiences of the messages, and how will the messages be delivered?

MGT 690 2/14/20 Sun Power Simulation This document is a quick starter guide to the interface and how you will run each of the unique “worlds” in this exercise. You will play in each world for 18 simulated years. Starting The Sun Power simulation can be accessed here: http://forio.com/simulation/mit-sloan-solar Click “Play as part of a class” For “Choose a Screen ID” enter your initials For “Class code”, enter “MGT690_01” Interface The first page is the Dashboard where you can see high-level information about your own market share, solar panel price, cost, etc. and how that compares to all other solar. More detailed information is available through the panels on the left (some will not be populated with useful information until a few years into the simulation). There is a link to the case at the bottom of the screen. Decisions In this simulation, you have two choices: price of the module and investment in process improvement. Pricing – You can either manually set a price, sell for a set percentage below the average of your competitors, or a percentage markup of your cost. Process improvement – You set the percentage of revenues that will be invested in improving the efficiency of your solar panel manufacturing process. Years to advance – Leave this at 1 year for the purpose of the class, you can set higher values if you wish to run the simulation on your own. Once you have made a decision, press the “Advance” button to go to the next year. Do not press “Start Over” – it is best to learn from your mistakes as they happen. Exercise Timeline Begin with MGT690_01, once you finish the 18 year simulation, record your performance (press the “Copy to Clipboard” Option above the dashboard table to save your data). Consider the questions. After the discussion, press “Logout” in the top right, press “Play as part of a Class”, enter the same ID, and then enter the class code MGT690_02. Answer the questions on the following page after finishing. If you want to play around with different settings, you can click “Play as an individual” and select “Settings”. World 1 (MGT690_01): 1. What strategy did you use? Was it effective? 2. What were your outcomes? Percentage of market share and cumulative profit? 3. What happened in the world? How did you react to it? World 2 (MGT690_02): 1. What felt different about this world? 2. What were your outcomes? Percentage of market share and cumulative profit? 3. What happened in the world? How did you react to it?

MGT/230 v6 Amazon.com Case Study Analysis MGT/230 v6 Page 2 of 2 Amazon.com Case Study AnalysisAmazon.com—Keeping the Fire Hot Amazon.com has gained the No. 1 spot as the world’s largest Internet retailer. But, never content to rest on past laurels, CEO Jeff Bezos keeps introducing and upgrading Amazon products and services. It’s hard to keep pace with new versions of the Amazon Kindle Fire, Prime Instant Video TV, and movie content streamed on demand. There’s a variety of cloud computer services. And, Bezos keeps increasing investments in new distribution centers staffed increasingly by robots. It’s all part of a push to make Amazon the go-to choice for fast—even same-day—deliveries of as many of the products we consume as possible. Decision Making and Innovation From its modest beginning in Jeff Bezos’s garage in 1995, Amazon.com has grown into the megalithic online retailer. Bezos continues to diversify Amazon’s product offerings and broaden its brand. Beyond simply finding more and more products and services to offer, he knows that he has to innovate in order to prevent his brand from becoming stagnant. No one is ever sure what will come next under Bezos’s guidance. His guiding question is: “What kind of innovation can we layer on top of this that will be meaningful for our customers?” Amazon’s Kindle almost single handedly launched the ebook revolution. Also, Amazon Prime could be seen as a revolution. Prime members get free two-day shipping and discounted one-day shipping as well as access to Amazon Instant Video, movie, TV and music streaming, and free content. It’s all designed to keep customers plugged into Amazon. Bezos calls Amazon Prime “the best bargain in the history of shopping, and it’s going to keep getting better.” There’s no shortage of competition. Amazon has squared off against Netflix, Apple, and Google in realms of both hardware and digital entertainment. It bought top-shelf audio book vendor Audible.com and later added shoe and clothing merchant Zappos.com. Then came acquisition of Boston-based Kiva Systems. Kiva’s automated guided robots deliver product to workers at pick stations, allowing Amazon increased efficiency (and reduced labor costs) in its worldwide distribution centers. Bezos as a Decision Maker Rather than sticking to just the analytical step-by-step process, Bezos isn’t afraid of informed intuition. He uses creativity, flexibility, and spontaneity when making key decisions. He seems comfortable with abstraction and lack of structure when making decisions and isn’t afraid to fail. Seeming not to worry about current earnings per share, Bezos keeps investing to make his company stronger and harder to catch. Its millions of square feet of distribution fulfillment space keep growing domestically and around the globe. The firm’s products and services are continuously upgraded and expanded. Drones are ready to fly Amazon deliveries to customers. But will these investments pay off? Is Bezos making the right l.

jessiehampson

MGMT408—Contract and Procurement Management The formats of RFPs used by companies and government agencies are seldom the same. The organization of the technical, management, and commercial information included in RFPs varies. There are six commonly used sections of information that procurement groups include in RFPs. We will use these six sections as a template for your RFPs. 1. Instructions to Bidders 2. Description of Work 3. Proposal 4. Specifications and Drawings 5. Special Conditions 6. General Conditions and Contract Agreement The Instructions to Bidders section provides sufficient information to bidders to allow them to prepare a responsive bid proposal. Most of this information is not required in the final contract for the work. The information in the Description of Work, Proposal, Specifications and Drawings, Special Conditions, and the General Conditions and Contract Agreement sections is included in the final contract for the work. The remainder of this template discusses each of these sections included in RFPs. Also, you will want to delete the description information (in blue) after you have added your data under each section of the template. 1. The RFP should provide sufficient information for a bidder to prepare a bid proposal that is responsive to each of the technical, management, and commercial requirements specified in the RFP. 2. The RFP should provide the necessary information concerning contract requirements. When the information from the successful bid proposal is combined with the requirements in the RFP, all of the information required to prepare a contract for the work should be available. 3. The management requirement in the RFP should define how the contract work will be managed by the owner and the contractor. Name of the RFP topic you chose. Name of your company (optional) Company address (optional) Company phone (optional) Distribution list (optional) Your name Your e-mail address PM598—Current term TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Introduction to Quality Improvement Essentials

Excellence Foundation for South Sudan

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024. He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

How to Break the cycle of negative Thoughts

Col Mukteshwar Prasad

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
