Faculty Interview

Faculty Interview Kathleen Fargo University of Phoenix Role of the Health Care/Nursing Educator HSN/548 Denise York November 26, 2012 Faculty Interview Changes are occurring in the health care arena today. With changes in legislation regarding health care regulation and the mandatory health care there is an increase in the already shortage of nurses. With the shortage of nurses come the requirements for an increased need for nursing educators. Responsibilities of the nurse educator extend beyond teaching the student.Educators must shift the emphasis for the result of learning with retention of knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the role of a current nursing educator presently employed in a state college in Oklahoma. C. B. is currently an Associate Professor at Seminole State College (SSC) in Oklahoma. Her first position in teaching was as a registered nurse with an associate degree in nursing at a technology school as an educator for the school of practical nursing. She obtained a bachelor’s of science in nursing, was promoted to coordinator of the program. C. B. as obtained a master’s of science in nursing and has been employed at SSC for three years. SSC offers a cooperative alliance nursing program, a bridge program for licensed practical nurses to obtain an associate degree in nursing. SSC is a two-year college working in conjunction with two technological schools in the area to provide a bridge program from the technological school’s practical nursing program to the associate degree in nursing program. Today’s colleges and universities are faced with changing issues related to education and the health science program.According to Billings and Halsted (2009), driving forces for the changes include â€Å"increasing multiculturalism of society, finite financial resources in education and health care, expanding technology and the accompanying knowledge explosion†¦ and the increasing public demand for accountab ility of educational outcomes† (p. 3). Nursing programs must increase the demand for nurses by increasing the number of graduates. Fewer educators are available to teach the increasing number of nursing students.As full-time faculty leaves the institution, colleges and universities are forced to fill the positions with adjunct faculty because of budget constraints. â€Å"Many accrediting agencies require a percentage of full-time faculty and specific targets for faculty with terminal degrees in the disciplines in which they teach† (Stenerson, Blanchard, Fassiotto, Hernandez, & Muth, 2010, p. 25). Accreditation can also depend on the faculty responsibility for the university or colleges ability to â€Å"demonstrate faculty responsibility for the curriculum and faculty perspectives in the process of shared governance† (Ibid).C. B. is assigned to the bridge program as the technology school where she was formerly employed is one of the practical nursing programs wher e she was the coordinator. She is familiar with the programs and is able to provide out of classroom support. C. B. is required to be a member of the committee where updating of the clinical classes occurs. Adjunct faculty who have been at the state college for more than a year are encouraged to participate in committees. Textbooks are decided on in the committee.If the adjunct faculty prefers not to participate in the curricula committee meetings their input is welcome regarding the text selections and curricula planning. The adjunct faculty presently employed at SSC have clinical experience and are familiar with the clinical sites for the students. Full-time faculty is encouraged to obtain a PhD although it is not required. Full-time educators are also assigned two to three adjunct faculty to mentor if the part-time faculty has been employed by the college for less than one year.The associate professor is responsible, with the program director, in evaluating the adjunct nursing ed ucators mentored. Whether full-time or an adjunct professor, each nurse educator has a responsibility to uphold the mission of the institution by mentoring, teaching critical thinking skills, being a positive role model, and practices ethical conduct. Nursing programs must be maintained to remain current. With informatics as a newer field in nursing, along with computers, and rapid changes in technology, practicing and teaching have changed.Additional fields in health care include genomics, cloning, organ transplants, and a potential for pandemics, all which must be included in the nursing curricula in addition to the already existent fundamentals of nursing (Rosenkoetter& Mistead, 2010). In Seminole, Oklahoma the main three minorities include native Americans, Latinos, and African-Americans. SSC is a multicultural college and the cultures are taken into account for the method s taught in the classes. Beliefs and customs are treated with respect nonjudgmentally.Family nursing is add ressed in the clinical classes as students are educating families and the patient on the final diagnosis. Community involvement is strongly recommended for full-time faculty and required of tenured professors. Tenured professors are required to participate in research committees. As classes are phased out tenured professors may have their position eliminated although elimination of positions has not been an issue for SCC’s nursing program. Vacant positions arise as nursing educators acquire a PhD and move to a higher university. Today’s nurse educator has a difficult job.The educator must take the responsibility of turning students into learners rather than the educator just teaching. Increased graduation rates is a must in the current nursing shortage that will extend for decades. The educator faces rapidly changing technology with the college or university’s limited budgets, larger student loads with a smaller faculty, multicultural classes, and different gene rations of students. C. B. ’s goal is to obtain her PhD eventually and transfer to a university. References Billings, D. M. , & Halsted, J. A. (2009). Teaching in Nursing: A Guide for Faculty (3rd ed. .

Robespierre – Evil or Virtuous?

Robespierre: Evil or Virtuous? â€Å"Virtue, without which terror is destructive; terror, without which virtue is impotent† (Zizek). Maximilien Robespierre said this in a speech when people were starting to question his judgment. He believed that to be only virtuous was difficult, and without some terror added in, the world would go into turmoil as no one would follow their leader. A leader has to be strong and forceful, and sometimes even terrifying to get their point across, or to get people to follow them.Robespierre always wanted what was best for France and was willing to do anything to get it, even if that meant causing harm to the people of France. He felt that as long as the outcome of his hard work came with the results he wanted, anything he did was justified. Despite all the horror of the Reign of Terror, Maximilien Robespierre was a virtuous man. He not only reacted to the problems in France with determination, but he created a clear program to help France in this troubled time. He also was the leader of many committees and he established many laws to further the French Revolution.Even when some of the people of France started to turn against him, he produced a program to help them, not to harm them. Robespierre always had France’s best interests at heart. He never wanted to have to use terror as a means of moving the French Revolution forwards, but he believed it had to happen for the better of France. He was a virtuous man from the beginning right up until the end and for that, he will be well remembered. In 1788, France was in turmoil and panic. France was going bankrupt and King Louis had to deal with disaster after disaster. The coldest winter in the history of France in seventy-nine years fell upon the nation.The price of bread almost doubled, the peasantry began to starve, and famine threatened whole sections of the population. By the end of 1788, Louis XVI received over eight hundred petitions demanding that the Commons, the Th ird Estate, have as many votes as the clergy and nobility combined in the Estates-General (Blumberg 291). By late November, King Louis became desperate and issued a proclamation convening the Estates-General for the following May, showing that already he was losing power over his people. Robespierre was elected as one of the twenty-four representatives of the Third Estate for Arras.He came in with a calm determination to fix everything and began to make his mark in history. As soon as the summoning of the Estates-General was proclaimed, Robespierre conceived the idea of seeking election. Unlike others who claimed to speak to the whole of France, he thought it better to deal with local matters, thus providing the people with issues of more immediate interest. Robespierre believed that the Estates were not representative since they were â€Å"constituted of a league of a few citizens who had seized power which belongs only to the people† (Matrat 43).He thought that the First Es tate held their seats only by virtue of their rank, and not by election and did not believe that this was fair. â€Å"By what right have they excluded the cures, the class that is without contradiction the most numerous; the most useful of this body; the most valuable because of the close relationship which binds it to the needs and interests of the people† (Matrat 43)? Robespierre went on to consider the composition of the Second Estate and found it no more representative. As for the Third Estate, he stressed that they represented neither the townspeople nor the country folk.Robespierre also protested strongly against forced labour among the farmers of Hainaut, which brought him the favour of these people as well as respect from many others. Robespierre was also in the National Assembly and was trying his hardest to restore the rights of man to his country. During these years, he earned a reputation for integrity and developed eloquence in his speeches that drew increasing a ttention from the Assembly. Robespierre proposed the self-denying law which made all the delegates to the first Assembly of 1789 ineligible for the second in 1791 and he also argued that liberty could not be spread by force.The Royal Family of France’s attempted escape on June 20th, 1791 made many people very unhappy with the King. The mob, ever ready to exercise the uncontrolled Rights of Men, made a mock parade of the King’s Arms in the market places, and, dashing them and the figure of a crown to the ground, they trampled upon them, crying out, â€Å"Since the King has abandoned what he owed to his high situation, let us trample upon the ensigns of royalty† (Ascherson 48)! The Royal Family not only lost many of its followers through their attempted escape, but also because King Louis XVI kept making bad decisions, ones that had no benefit to France or its people.The people wanted someone who would lead them into a revolution and change France for the better, not because they wanted the power, but because they believed in France and wanted it to become a great nation. That man was Robespierre, who after the flight of the King followed the Jacobin club in its move toward republicanism. He called for universal male suffrage and the end of property qualifications for voting and office holding (Blumberg 290). Robespierre wanted to make France a republic, a government for the people and by the people, a country where everyone had the freedoms and rights they deserved.In January of 1793, Robespierre voted on whether or not he thought that King Louis should be executed for his actions. At the Convention on the trial of the King, he looked towards the judges and stated; Because you have established yourselves the judge of Louis, without the usual forms, are you less his judges? You cannot separate your quality of Judge from that of Legislator. These two qualities are indivisible. You have acknowledged the crimes of the tyrant. It is your duty to punish them. No consideration should make you hesitate respecting the punishment reserved for the greatest criminal that ever existed.I vote for the punishment of death (Ascherson 84). Robespierre led the beginning of other members of the Assembly leaders voting for the Kings death. Out of a total of seven hundred and forty-five members, three hundred and sixty-six voted for King Louis death that was carried out on January 25th, 1793 (Ascherson 86-7). After the Kings death, Robespierre stood up as the leader of France and the Jacobins and began his attempts to make France the nation he hoped it would someday become. Robespierre accomplished much, establishing many committees and laws to further the French Revolution.The Declaration of the Rights of Man proclaimed freedom, propriety, the safety of the individual, resistance to oppression, the sovereignty of the nation, the participation of all citizens in the drawing up of laws, and the admission of all to situations and honours, wi th no other distinction than that of their virtues and their talents (Kreis). Robespierre believed in the Declaration and was against the establishment of any censorship. There ought to be no compromise in the matter. The freedom of the press ought to be established without any reservation.Free men cannot set out their rights in equivocal terms. Freedom of the press is the corollary of freedom of speech. In a free state each citizen is a guardian of freedom, who must shout at the smallest rumour, and at the least sight of any danger which threatens it (Matrat 67). Robespierre argued his beliefs and his dreams not only for himself, but for those people who did not have a voice. He argued for the people of France. Through newspapers and word of mouth, Robespierre became known as one of the most diligent defenders of the people.He made many speeches and put forth many proposals in the National Assembly that spoke on the changes he wanted to make in France. One such proposal was to crea te a tribunal made up of members of the Assembly who would be concerned with â€Å"plots and conspiracies against the people and freedom† (Matrat 79). Then the people, certain of the punishment of its enemies, would feel reassured and would calm down. When Robespierre was elected as the president of the Jacobins in March of 1790 he reacted with determination and a clear program.The nation had to mobilize all its resources for the war against Austria, draft every available man, ration food fix prices and wages, weed out opposition at home, punish slackers, speculators, and food hoarders, and suspend due process of law to accelerate the arrests of counterrevolutionaries (Blumberg 291). In April on 1793, the Committee of Public Safety replaced the Committee for General Defence with nine members. The Committee of Public Safety formed to keep chaos from reigning over France as counter-revolutionaries rebelled against the new French government.Soon after the Committee was establish ed, the Convention elected Robespierre to the Committee. Robespierre wanted to rally the masses to Jacobin doctrines and so he set up three laws to give them substantial advantages. One law set up the sale of the possessions of emigres in small lots, with a period of ten years for payment to be made. This made it possible for the less wealthy peasants to buy land (Duhaime). Another law provided for the subdivision of communal property in equal portions and the third law abolished hierarchy rights and dues founded on ancient charters.Finally, to cushion the effect of rising prices there was a general increase in the salaries of civil servants (Matrat 204). As Robespierre’s reign went on more and more people started attacking him, believing that he was working against the Revolution. Robespierre heard the people whispering about him when they thought he was not listening, but he was listening all the time. In a speech, he announced to everybody that he knew people where against them, but he wanted them to say it to his face. One man then spoke up against him and accused him.Robespierre looked at the man calmly and did not criticize him, but thanked him. â€Å"Citizen, you had the courage to accuse me of wanting to be my country’s enemy, in the face of the people’s representatives, in this very place where I defended their rights. I thank you. I recognize in this deed the citizenship that characterizes the famous city that has sent you† (Matrat 175). Robespierre wanted to give the people a chance to speak their mind, but he always defended himself against the crimes that they claimed he did.When being accused of â€Å"having ceaselessly slandered the purest patriots† (Matrat 178), Robespierre came back with a speech that was calm and precise, one that made a strong impression and won him back some of the people of France. While in the Committee of Public Safety, Robespierre continued to prove to the people that he was indeed on their side. He knew that there were some who criticized the committee for its military policy, but also knew that they could only do so with the intention of embarrassing the government.I realize that there is a scheme for paralyzing the Committee of Public Safety, by seeming to help it in its work, and that people are trying to vilify the executive power so that they can say that there is no longer an authority in France capable of holding the reins of government. The fact is that they want our places. Well, let them take them! I would like to see them, night and day, probing the wounds of the state, and spending their lives in finding a remedy for them. Do they want to extenuate out labours, or do they want to lead us to counter-revolution by betraying patriots in the hearts of the people (Matrat 223)?As always, Robespierre had captivated the crowd and won their applause. He proved that the job he was doing was hard, and that if others wanted to take over, they would not be able t oo. They would only lead to the downfall of France. The war against Austria was over in the spring of 1794 and the French armies began to come home. Robespierre continued to murder those he thought were against him and France but the people no longer understood his actions. Up to a certain point the Terror had been justified by reverses in the war, but France was now victorious.Robespierre was being called a tyrant for his murderous ways but he had a different view on the matter. â€Å"They call me tyrant. If I were, they would grovel at my feet, I would gorge them with gold, I would give them the right to commit any crime† (Matrat 267). Even with the people of France turning against him and calling him a tyrant, he continued to do his best to help them. Robespierre set up a program for France that included a guarantee of food for everyone at low prices, distribution of land to the poor, public education, social security for the aged, ill and injured, and a progressive income tax (Blumberg 292).Robespierre was the power and change France needed right up until the very end and no matter what the people did to him, said to him, or thought of him, he kept to his goals for France. Robespierre wanted a revolution, he wanted change and he, without a doubt brought it to France. Of all the Chiefs of the different groups which have successively reigned in the volcano of the French Revolution, Robespierre was the man whose Government promised to be the most durable; because he had the character of being the most incorruptible, and of being the man who had shown the least variation in his conduct (Ascherson 115).Despite all the horror of the Reign of Terror, Maximilien Robespierre was a virtuous man. When France was in turmoil and panic Robespierre came in to fix everything and helped move France forward and push the Revolution onwards. He was a leader in the Committee of Public Safety and created laws all to try and help France. Even when people started to turn o n him, he put forth a program to try and aid them. He cared about the people of France, and even France itself as a whole. Robespierre wanted France to change and develop into the country he knew it would someday be and he was willing to do anything to achieve this goal.

The Recent Global Financial Crisis Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1500 words

The Recent Global Financial Crisis - Essay Example The current study focuses on a discussion and analysis of the recent global financial crisis and the consequent credit crunch in an international financial perspective, including the events leading up to the crisis, the economic and financial consequences, as well as the government responses and lessons to be learnt. Events Leading to the Incidence of the Global Financial Crisis: The global crisis was initiated in the mortgage lending market in the US, the problem arising with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation deciding not to pay for mortgages that involved high risks. Secondly, the bankruptcy filed by New Century Financial Corporation that remained a primary lender of mortgages for customers who were riskier in nature. With the occurrence of these incidents, the house prices started dripping down and foreclosures started increasing. With the increases in the risk factors and the fall in asset prices, the financial institutions feared the payments of interests and apprehensi on of severe losses prevailed. Although Federal Reserve had taken some initiatives in this context to assist the financial firms, however, the fall in prices of the assets could not be held back. Gradually the crisis affected the banking industry in the nation reflected by the bankrupt conditions of Lehman Brothers as well as purchase of Merrill Lynch by the Bank of America in the midst of government not prepared to bail out all banks. The financial markets gradually became highly unstable with severe fall in stock markets (Marshall, 2009, pp.7-8). Some of the primary events leading to the global crisis can be outlined as follows: August 9, 2007- The intimation of liquidity crisis followed by addition of capital by Fed and European Central Bank. March 2008- Bear Stearns was rescued by the Fed. September 8, 2008- Fannie and Freddie were nationalized by the treasury. September 15, 2008- Bankruptcy filed by Lehman Brothers (assets of $600 billion being the largest in the history of the US). September 16, 2008- Fed made bridge loans to the largest insurance company in the world, A.I.G. October 3, 2008- Bailout policy passed out by the government; Treasury was given the authority to spend $700 billion. With all these above mentioned events gradually occurring, the stock prices fell rapidly accompanied by fall in real housing prices by about 30 percent from 2006 to 2008 (Historical Context, n.d.). Economic and Financial Consequences of the Global Recession: The severity of the global recession has had its impacts on the prices of assets, the productions as well as the employment. These effects were not only restricted to the US but spread across the world with differences in the levels of their impacts. The most significant of these has been the impact on the debts and creditworthiness of companies and that the crisis led companies to encounter difficulty in performing exports and earn gains following their settled plans (Reinhart, 2009). Three particular consequenc es could be realized from the global recession. These included: (i) the rising debt, the household debt in particular; (ii) the possibility of a comeback to an insecurity with respect to international

Supply Chain Management - Essay Example This study focuses on various aspects of Supply Chain Management and appropriate strategies to incorporate green and ethical and supply chain. But in this entire process the major questions one need to focus upon is that while implementing ethical and environmental practices , does the price on the clothing and the choices one can offer effect on pricing of the be affected or not. Supply Chain Management Supply Chain Management is the process to effectively supervise, control and administer the practice of extending goods and services to ultimate consumers. The objective and purpose of incorporating an ethical supply chain is to maintain a responsible logistic system whereby products and services are proliferated in the most ethical manner (Cousins, Lamming, Lawson, and Squire, 2008). The issues and concern of ethical supply management comprise of broad goals of ‘product supply’ along with the ‘means for the same’ that is the management tasks and activities. ... Introducing Green Supply Chain Management (Source: Penfield P, 2007) But the overall impact is that incorporation of ethical policies would in turn aor up the prices of goods as the ultimate cost burden of implementing advanced technology and achieving ethical standards will be passed on to the customers in form of increased pricing, hence it is difficult to make cheap gooods available at lowest pricing. The make-buy decision Sourcing of products from other countries has become major cause of concern for supermarkets as they enhance and aggravate chances of pollution. Supermarkets established in Great Britain have become a part of Ethical Trading Initiative so that their dedication and commitment towards sourcing of products can be socially acclaimed. Hence, the question has become critical whether products should be manufactured internally or sourced from other nations. It is clear that if supermarket is really concerned about incorporating ethical sourcing then it would certainly h ave to bear high costs. What needs to be done by Co-op supermarket is to apply a Green Sustainable Supply Chain within the domestic range of the organization that can provide abundant opportunities for the firm to reduce cost and create wider choice for its customers (Harrison, A & Van Hoek, 2008). However, if the organiation decides to manufacture goods locally rather than outsourcing them providing a large variety of goods to the customers would become a matter of concern, hence From a sustainable viewpoint, the supermarket can: Try to design and produce goods locally to the maximum extent possible Designing of smart packages that save cost to the company Whether make or buy, continuous environmental audits must be performed to compare and

The need for an organisation's HR function Essay

The need for an organisation's HR function - Essay Example call for vibrant policies and practices on the part of the management team so as to facilitate the organizations to react swiftly and productively to such dynamic external environments. The strategic human resource management facilitates its organizational teams to deliver highly competitive and standardized performance under intricate business conditions that strives to convert challenges into opportunities by transforming anarchy into systematic strategies and strategy into productive action. Strategic human resource management has achieved immense significance and generated critical awareness in recent years amongst theorists and researchers, most remarkably in the fields of human resource management, organizational behavior and industrial relations. Apparently, heightened assimilation of human resource management and corporate strategies has placed a significant claim upon contemporary strategic human resource management in terms of management as well as the academic literature, and hence it is commonly recognized that the strategic employment and administration of human resources can pave way for accomplishment and stability of the firms. Certain authors and researchers have further claimed that that an organizations human resources help shape the foundation of its competitive advantage1. Thus, with this background, it can be safely established, that the need for an organizations HR function to be strategic in nature is in co-operation, and not in conflict, with its n eed to respond to the external environment. â€Å"Strategic Human Resource Management is the linking of human resource management with strategic goals and objectives in order to improve business performance and develop organizational cultures that foster innovation and flexibility† Strategic human resource management has been defined as the development of organizational culture that cultivates modernization and elasticity with the assistance of establishment of an association between human

Sonnet by Shakespeare to Explicate Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 250 words

Sonnet by Shakespeare to Explicate - Essay Example While the sonnet is largely straightforward, it does have a number of challenging images. In the third line, Shakespeare writes, â€Å"And trouble deaf heav'n with my bootless cries† (Shakespeare 3). Here, the narrator is indicating this in his loneliness he cries out to heaven with useless (‘bootless’) cries. Shakespeare advances this theme of despondency and loneliness, indicating that the narrator wishes that he had the life of others; Shakespeare writes, â€Å"Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope† (Shakespeare 7). The sonnet follows a Petrarchan structure, which is visible in the final six lines when the narrator indicates that despite his despondency, â€Å"Haply I think on thee, and then my state,/ Like to the lark at break of day arising† (Shakespeare 10-11). In these regards, the overriding theme and rhetorical strategy indicates that while the narrator experiences considerable despondency, the thought and image of his love make the trying times bearable. In conclusion, this essay has considered Shakespeare’s ‘Sonnet 29’. It has considered theme and rhetorical strategy, indicating that the poem is a love sonnet with a Petrarchan structure. Ultimately, the sonnet is a powerful and unique one within Shakespeare’s canon. References Shakespeare, William. Sonnet 29. Shakespeare Online.

Difference and diversity in Ontario Schooling Thesis

Difference and diversity in Ontario Schooling - Thesis Example Despite this, there are discontent voices in the overall education system of Canada. Not enough is being done in the education system to be able to provide all rounded education to people of divergent cultures. It will be naive to think that by providing a ‘standard’ form of education to everyone would yield same desired results. The truth is culture and diversity plays a key role in the education of an individual. An individual is a product his surrounding and these surrounding dictates that adjustment should be made to accommodate, assimilate or just understand that particular individual. The Canadian system has been criticized for seemingly favoring the dominant culture at the expense of immigrant cultures. The dominant white culture seems to be the propagated and ‘ideal’ way of living being fronted by the educational quotas. The concept of ‘Educating across difference’ has had its fair form of challenges that have cultural connotations. In r eality it is not the cultural values themselves that bring out the difference in the education system, but it is the values that are attached to particular cultural practices that breed contention. To bury our heads in the sand and ignore issues centering on power and minority can greatly work to undue our delicate social fabric. Power related issues such as ethnocentrism, racism and sexism should form the basis of the discussion on the divergent cultural issue. To be able to understand and appreciate the urban educational system, we first have to learn a brief history of Canada. When faced with the question of diversity and difference, Canada has chosen five broad based responses, each determined by the ideology that was stronger at that specific time in the period. These five responses are; suppressing difference, insisting on the difference, denying difference, inviting difference and lastly critiquing difference. This model of response and framework have been granted by various scholars (Fleras and Elliot, 1992 and Murkerjee 1988; Sleeter and Grant 1944). 1. Suppressing Difference: Aggressive Assimilation The first framework of suppressing is an unsurprising form of human reaction when one meets diversity and divergent views. The dominant and the most widespread at the time take precedence and any new culture has to conform to the pre-existing one. The need for ‘civilize’ others saw some communities being forced to give up their language, religion and forced to embrace the superior French culture (Ashworth, 1993). This campaign of suppression was referred as aggressive assimilation and it was subjected on early immigrant families. The late 1800 brought more quests to ‘Canadize’ the huge numbers of immigrants arriving from Eastern and Southern European countries. This euphoria of the New Canada unwittingly gave rise of fascist and white supremacist movements, which had their support stemming, albeit innocently at first, from all li festyles. Social Credit and CFF parties had endorsed such views bringing together the newly formed the United Church of Canada (Jaenen, 1977, pg. 89). Theories of Social Darwism emphasized on the superiority of Christianity, Anglo-Saxon, Western industrialization and capitalism. Therefore in this sense education was to be used to eliminate the difference in culture and propagate the ‘right’ cultures. 2. Insisting on Difference: Separation and Segregation The

The open class system is a class system in which there is the possibility of social mobility where one can move up the social ladder through education, marriage or even by chance or luck.2 According to the functionalist perspective on social inequality, Davis and Moore perceived social stratification and inequality as one that plays a role in the proper working of society in that all social systems share certain functional prerequisite which must be met for the society to operate efficiently and effectively. One of these prerequisites is effective role allocation and performance and this means that all roles must be filled by those who are best able to perform them. The mechanism that ensures proper role allocation is social stratification, roles are different in terms of importance and therefore there is the need to attach unequal rewards to the role.3 We will focus our discussion on social strati... We will consider the social stratification of these churches as one that plays an important role in the proper functioning of these religious institutions. RELIGIOUS SOCIAL STRATIFICATION: The Catholic Church: The Roman Catholic Church is the largest in terms of number of followers, this church is headed by the pope, the pope has final authority in all matters and he appoints cardinals who are below him in command. The catholic churches all over the world share common faith, common principles of church policies and organization and also common liturgy.4 The cardinals are directly below the pope in authority, they are appointed by the pope and when a pope in command dies they appoint a new pope, therefore they are second in command after the pope, and however the cardinals are bishops appointed by the pope from all over the world.5 The third rank is the bishop's position, he bishop heads a diocese which is the unit of organization in the Catholic Church, the bishop has the authority to admit priests into his diocese and also to exclude them from his diocese, he also assigns duties and priest to various parishes in his diocese.6 The clergy and the nuns are the last rank where the clergy is responsible of administering worship in the churches or parishes, the stratification into ranks of the Catholic Church can be diagrammatical simplified below.7 The diagram shows social stratification of the Catholic Church starting from those who rank high in the social ladder (the pope) to those who rank low in the social ladder (clergy and nuns), further the pope can only be one and the number increases downwards, cardinals are less than 300 in number and the number of the clergy and the nuns is large.

Balanced Scorecard in Performance Management Research Paper

Balanced Scorecard in Performance Management - Research Paper Example The concept of balanced scorecard was initiated by Kalpan and Norton at the beginning of 1990. The balanced scorecard is a strategic management tool used by organizations for the purpose of measuring their performance. While measuring the performance level it considers factors such as employee knowledge, customer satisfaction, and innovation of the company (Cambridge Dictionaries Online, n.d.). It provides ways to the organizations for balancing strategic priorities and other associated factors such as customers, finances, processes and people. The balanced scorecard also ensures that the performance standards at both individual and organizational level remain balanced (Houldsworth & Jirasinghe, 2006, p.143). It not only offers a framework for performance measurement but also enables planners to discover what must be accomplished and measured. A number of companies have therefore incorporated balanced scorecard into their system of operation, so as to facilitate effective and well-or ganized performance measurement system. These organizations with the help of performance management have been able to align their strategies & visions with the business objectives. In the context of the study, Boston Scientific Corporation has been chosen to assess how balanced scorecard can be utilized for optimal organizational performance. Hence before getting into a further discussion, a brief introduction of the organization has been presented in the next half of the project. Boston Scientific Corporation: A Brief Overview Boston Scientific Corporation manufactures and markets medical devices. The company was founded in the year 1979 and has its present base of operations in Natick, Massachusetts (Boston scientific, n.d.). Boston Scientific Corporation or BSC was founded by John Abele.  

Benefits of Capital Punishment Essay Example for Free

Benefits of Capital Punishment Essay Though death penalty law has received insurmountable onslaught from the opposing activists and human rights campaigners, a number of states have maintained a hard stance and stood their grounds, this has been with good reasons. It is also in the clear understanding of its benefits and the hollowness of the counter claims. The position of this paper is that capital punishment has a wide range of benefits to a nation. Capital punishment deters crime, curbs recidivism, controls overcrowding and reduces the cost of maintaining inmates serving life sentences. A number of econometric studies conducted between 1978 and 2000 in the United States by a number of scholars bear the truth about the deterrence abilities of capital punishment (Paul R. Z. , 2006, 34). These studies have established the obvious, just as incarceration deters crime so does capital punishment. Capital punishment simply refers to an act by state of executing criminals found to have committed capital offenses. History has it that the origin of capital punishment was necessitated by the need to quell soaring rates of grievous crimes and political dissent. There are various crimes that are punished using death penalty; these however usually vary from one country to another and are a product of a states traditions and societal expectations. In China corruption is considered serious enough to attract a death penalty. Majority of countries regard drug trafficking, rape and cold blood premeditated murders as capital offences. Zhiqiang Liu (2004, 12), an economist, is particularly categorical in his study of the ability of capital punishment to deter crime. He goes forth and posits that one execution of criminal by state goes ahead to safeguard about eight lives of potential victims, this is in accordance to a study he conducted in the United States between the early 1930s and the late 1960s. This study is quite confident on the relationship between executions and crimes rate. These findings had earlier been echoed by H. Naci Mocan and R. Kaj Gittings (2003, 29) in a state level study conducted for a period of 20 years up to 1997. The conclusion of this study was reached after a careful analysis of the homicidal and imprisonment rates compared with the rate of capital penalties meted out. The conclusion was that each execution carried out went ahead and reduced the number of homicidal cases after while rescinding of a death penalty generated a significant increase of murder cases. The issue of deterrence has received quite a sizeable proportion of interest from academicians. This interest is not only as a result of its relation to capital punishments only but also in regard to other crimes as well. One of the reasons behind incarceration in addition to locking out criminal elements away from the precincts of the society is to deter occurrences of similar crimes from potential criminals. Theories have been put forward to analyze the effects of imprisonment and punishment as a form of deterrence. Most scholars have found a correlation between the two. The fear of imprisonment, fines and other forms of punishment is one big reason why many people would rather not go against the law. Early philosophers theorized about the origin of state saying it was brought forth to arrest the anarchical situation that reigned in the original state of nature. The presence of state also gave birth to the need to create laws and spell out the nature of punishment for the violators, such punishment would be meant to deter. There is an undeniable link between deterrence and punishment and the harsher the punishment, the more efficient the deterrence (Van den Haag, E. , 1975). The idea hence that harsh punishment meted out against criminals does not deter similar occurrences is inconceivable; almost all scholars are in agreement that capital punishment should be given to the elements in the society charged with grievous crimes. The basic argument here should be that the nature of crime one commits should attract an equally harsh punishment. Capital crimes rank the highest. None would be harsher than death and this would go ahead in preventing others with similar intentions. A total of 53 criminals were executed in the United States two years ago (Amnesty international, 2007). A bigger portion of those were in Texas. Critics admit that these executions went a long way in curbing crimes in the states that they were carried out and most studies agree. The issue of deterrence hence is unquestionable. A secondary objective of capital punishment on capital offenses is to stigmatize grievous crimes like rape and murder. It seeks to portray the horrific nature of such acts. Nothing would portray this better than an execution. Capital crimes cannot be deterred effectively by imposing light sentences or life imprisonments with an option of a parole. It is not in question that prospects of imprisonment would deter future acts of crimes, but this might not be applicable in well mapped out and executed murders. The prospect of a parole itself negates the deterrence that could have been achieved. The prospects of a death penalty on the other hand make any criminal to have second thoughts before contemplate on taking innocent lives. Capital punishments with an intention of deterring crimes should not only be carried out but they should also be highly publicized to ensure that such news reach all quarters (Hugo A. B. , 1997, 67). . Texas has an exceptionally high proportion of executions being with over half of all executions in the United States. These executions have been on the increase in these recent past years. Dale O. Cloninger and Roberto Marchesni (2001, 62) carried out a study with an intention of comparing two periods, when in one, executions were near zero and in another where there were remarkably high number of executions. This study found that the deterrence hypothesis holds. The numbers of homicide cases reported when there were minimal executions were higher than in when the number of executions went up. Other studies have found that executions conducted in one state have a spill over effect to other areas. Executions in one state may result to a reduced rate of capital crimes in a neighboring state indicating how efficient the idea of deterrence is (Van den Haag, Ernest, 1975, 26). Deterrence operates within a framework of three assumptions; the first one is based on what the law stipulates. The contents of the law are themselves enough to deter crime; a tough law goes a long way in preventing criminal tendencies. The second one is punishment. Everyone should be made aware of what the punishment for violating a certain law is. The third aspect is the certainty of such a punishment. This is where capital punishment comes and it is ascertained through carrying out executions. The state goes right ahead in achieving this and deterrence is achieved. Robertson I (1989, 33) notes that â€Å"through punishment corrections serve to deter the offender from deviating and it scares others who might be tempted into crime† Capital punishment has also a cost advantage. In the process of meting out a judgment especially for the lesser crimes, the court determines whether to imprison or fine an individual by looking at the possible costs of incarceration, the nature of the crime and the character of the individual. This is a complicated formula that puts into consideration even the salaries and expenses of the probation officers alongside other costs. The average cost of maintaining a prisoner for a whole year in prison as established in the finding conducted in 2003 is well above twenty-five thousand dollars. This number if multiplied with the millions serving jail sentences in the United States really puts a strain on the public coffers. Fines and paroles are important ways of circumventing this cost and to a greater extent eradicates the social and health issues that arise as a result of the increasing over crowding in the jails today, especially occasioned by the three strikes law. The prisons in most countries, United States included, are always carrying above the expected capacity. Although the intention of capital punishment is not to decongest prisons, when imposed, it goes ahead to achieve this. The costs of congestion are insurmountable both social and economic (Gottfried, T. , 1997, 78).

Strategies for Wastewater Treatment Processes

Strategies for Wastewater Treatment Processes Some wastewater treatment process in other hand classified into three categories which followed the nature of the treatment process that used nowadays, they are physical, chemical and biological treatment processes. Most of the full wastewater treatments systems are included several processes from these three categories. Physical methods wastewater treatment is the process that totally relay on physical phenomena only in progress of improving and treating the wastewater. In this method, there are no any gross chemical or biological changes needed to carry out. Some examples like sedimentation or called clarification, screening, aeration, filtration, flotation and skimming, degasification, equalization are classified as the physical method for wastewater treatment. Take sedimentation process for further explanations, it is a process where the solids is settle by gravity in order to carry out the process. This process is carry out by collecting the wastewater in a short period of time, the collected wastewater was stored in a tank that is under quiescent conditions, which then slowly let the heavier solids to settle and those â€Å"clarified† effluent is also remove at the same time. Sedimentation process is very common process used for solid separation nowadays, and it is already set up to be u sed in the beginning and end of the full wastewater treatment operation which is what we have now. Sedimentation is already a physical treatment that cannot be excluded in order to successfully carry out the wastewater treatment. Another common process that also under the physical treatment category is the aeration, which is a process by just physically add some air into wastewater, gas that often used is oxygen. The process is to allow the oxygen exchange at the surface, eventually lead to the release of noxious gasses such as carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen sulfide gas from the water. Filtration is also another common physical phenomena treatment, this treatment require a filter medium to separate the solids from the wastewater, filter medium like sand filters can continue removed the entrained from the wastewater used. Some physical phenomena will take part in sedimentation process; this will affect the water quality in the good way. Substance like greases or oils can be applying the flotation technique, skimming, or physically removing in order to separate from the wastewater. For some industrial management wastewater treatment, they will create strong and undesirable waste in just a little time needed. These wastes have the ability in destroy biological treatment process. So the wastes were kept to remained in the wastewater system, or has mixed with other waste, and eventually release to the environment, which will cause eliminating â€Å"shocks† to the treatment plant. Such process called equalization. There is another type of equalization, which is when the wet well of a pump station will collect many types of wastewater and then follow with the step that pump those wastes onward at constant rates. Second category is the chemical treatment process, physical treatments rely on physical phenomena, and so chemical treatment is depending on certain chemical reaction in order to improve the water quality. The examples of chemical wastewater treatment are chlorination, ozonation, neutralization, coagulation, adsorption, and ion exchange. Among all these chemical treatment, the most famous and common one is the chlorination. Chlorination process is the using of chlorine to kill bacteria and also to slow down the rate of the wastewater to decompose. Chlorine is being chosen because of its strong oxidizing properties. Bacterial can be successfully eliminated from the wasterwater when there is vital biological process occurred which caused by the chlorine added. There is an alternative way to replace the chlorination, which is by using the ozone to undergo ozonation. Ozone is also a common strong oxidizing agent that chose to carry out oxidizing disinfectant other than chlorine. Besides using chemical to undergo oxidation, industrial wastewater treatment commonly applies neutralization. Water is commonly known that it is at pH value of 7, the neutral state. So if the water is too acid, there will have the need to add selective base to adjust back the neutrality of the wastewater. In other hand, same goes to if the water is too basic, acid is needed to add to the wastewater to adjust back the pH value. This technique is called the neutralization. Another common chemical wastewater treatment is the coagulation. This process is about to add some chemical into the wastewater, which will cause some reaction to be occurred. The chemical added will react with the substance inside the wastewater and then form insoluble end product, thus these end product can be easily removed in order to produce clean water. The example of chemicals that used for coagulation process are polyvalent metals, limestone, iron binding compounds like FeSO4 and FeCl2 or FeCl3, and last is t he alum, Al2(SO4)3. Some chemical treatment actually is the combination of chemical and physical processes. The nature of the process is come from both chemical and physical. One of the example is the using the activated carbon to extract or remove the organic substance in the wastewater. For ion exchange process, this process is least applied in the wastewater treatment nowadays. The ion exchange process is actually added some chemical in order to exchange certain ion in the wastewater only, this process is not help a lot in the field of wastewater treatment and the process is slow. The last category that needs to discuss is the biological wastewater treatment. Biological process in wastewater treatment is related to apply biology field substance, such as microorganisms in order to produce the clean water. There are many microorganisms but the most used in biochemical decomposition of wastewater is the bacteria, the purpose of the bacteria is to stabilize the end products. If there are still many other microorganisms are present, or even the sludge, they will be converted to carbon dioxide gas, water and some side product by the treatment method. The major groups of biological wastewater treatment have two main events, one is aerobic method and the other is the anaerobic method, the different between these two processes is the present of dissolved oxygen. Under aerobic method there have several examples, such as: activated sludge treatment methods, trickling filtration, oxidation ponds, lagoons, and aerobic digestion, whereas for the example of anaerobic method are: anaerobic digestion, septic tanks, and lagoons. The main purpose of a wastewater treatment is to remove those solid substances in the water, in order to have a good condition and clean water to be used in our daily life. Most solid is the primarily organic substance, at this instant there will eventually have some inorganic solid being filter out also along with the organic substances. The treatment also need a enhance function to help remove the sludge in the water also. Before the treatment process come to the end, some addition work need to carry out to control the odors of the water, one more is retard the biological activity in order to destroy those pathogenic organisms that still remained in the wastewater. The actual full wastewater treatment as mention before, it will have the combination of physical, chemical and biological methods, so the devices need to be used will also widely cover these three fields, where the degree of a treatment mainly named using the terms primary, secondary and tertiary treatment.

Effects of Renewable Energy in Nigeria

Effects of Renewable Energy in Nigeria AN INTRODUCTORY REVIEW: We are in the era, where we regularly envisage different sort of problems, some have a severe distress in it and some are like to be flash instantly. Poverty, financial instability, unemployment are some of the basic problems our society have faced from a number of years, but apart from that problems there are such problems which really makes the world like a hell. I intend to divert intentions towards some problems, which becomes so common across the globe. Energy Crisis and its conservation and environmental problems are some of the main problems our society has been facing from past few years. Before going further in to the details of its impacts and the problems which may arise from its threats, lets take a closer look of Energy Conservation and different environmental problems. AN OVERVIEW OF ENERGY CONSERVATION: Electricity and energy is now becomes an integral part of our routine life. Believe or not we are totally on the mercy of the energy to accomplish our different task. It has been observed that, and we also noticed that, the fear of energy crisis has been surging from past few years chaotically, which intervenes between the country to viable economically. After listen the name of the energy crisis, the thing which instantly clicks in our mind is the mitigation plan for this action and to abridge its threats accordingly. The practice of decreasing the quantity of energy used is known as the energy conservation. Efficiently uses any thing will enhance the productivity of that thing and will condense the hazards associated with it. A number of attributes are associated with the conservation of energy like deducing the financial cost which ultimately effects on the bottom line, other advantages includes national security, personal security and  human comforts. One of the important forms of energy is the Electrical energy, which is in use by the human beings exaggeratedly that is why the conservation of energy is termed as an integral element of the energy policy (Mike Adams, 2008). There are a number of problems connected with the energy conservation which exacerbates the situation, which we will examine in details when we move further. PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENERGY CONSERVATION: Before going in to the details of the problems of the energy, I want to do a mind set of my readers regarding the uses of energy. Let me mention some examples associated with the transformation of different types of energy into the form of energy and heat. I have found a process of energy transmitting and processing which is mentioned below. †¢Ã‚  Oil is being burns to produce heat. †¢Ã‚  Heat boils the water †¢Ã‚  Water then turns into steam †¢Ã‚  Steams Pressure than turns a turbine †¢Ã‚  Turbine use to on the electric generator. †¢Ã‚  Generator than generates electricity. †¢Ã‚  Electricity than empowers the light bulbs, which gives us (the end users) lights and heat. The main problem lies with the energy is the exhalation of different types of injurious and devastative gases which spoil the health of a person in an outrageous manner. Carbon dioxide is one of the main threats for the health of the human being. A number of people consensuses that the gas act as a transparent blanket due to the atmospheric work. Synthetically speaking, carbon dioxide is combustion of gas, coal and oil which uses in the heating system and in car engines (Mike Adams, 2008). Health professionals and Doctors said that, carbon dioxide is the most perilous gas for the human being which demolishes the respiratory system of a person after penetration that is why the Doctors exhorts a lot to keep distance with plants at night because the plants excrete the carbon dioxide which can be disperse in a person if he doesnt take the safety majors into consideration. Apart from the hazards of carbon dioxide sulfur dioxide is also a major foe of the humans health. Sulfur dioxide emit ted in the air when the coal is being burned. Sulfur dioxide produces with the burning of coal which penetrates in the clouds after react with water and oxygen to from precipitation which commonly knows as acid rain, which is not even injurious for the human being but also for the sea spices. Acid rain is very harmful for the humans skin and sometimes it plays a vital role to inflate the fear of skin cancer. There are a number of factors which influences on the conservation of energy, threats of severe disease are the some examples of it. HOW ENERGY CONSERVATION MITIGATE SUCH PROBLEM We are in an era where the technologies really matters and we cant bear the crisis of this energy. Energy conservation is a brave and bold step towards efficiently use the energy in diversified sectors. Electrical energy and oil is the main thing which we have to utilize for the economic development of a country. The unavailability of these two things will make the situation chaotic for a country. Lets see in details what value efficient energy conservation can add in the accounts for a country. ?  Increment in the energy efficiency, resultantly makes the energy relatively cheaper, which is equally beneficial for the users and for the Government as well. ?  Increased energy efficiency will definitely lead to enhance the economic and physical growth, which spikes the graph of energy use in the whole economy.   ?  Efficiently uses the fuel energy will help to increase the production among the industries of a country which leads to a higher quality of life. ?  The threats we discussed earlier, which will be born from the poisonly gases like carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide can be abate with the help of energy conservation. It will help to reduce the effects of headache, stress, blood pressure, fatigue and work pressure. ?  Telecommunication becomes a major part to viable a company economically as a number of business been done on the telephone, so we have to be vigilant regarding the efficient use of telecommunication energy from a business stand point. ?  It is observed that electric motors, like elevators, water pumping machines, refrigerators and other electric home appliances consume more than 60% of all electrical energy, which become a major cause of the loss of 10 to 20 percent of all electricity. In order to tackle with this menace, we have to be cautious granted the wastage of energy. What can we do in this regards, is not an uphill task at all, use the electrical appliances when we use it like bulbs, iron, juicer blender and all such kind of things. ?  The problem of energy crisis persists in the whole world, because of the unavailability of the natural resources to produce the electricity energy. ?  Usage of bicycle and walking rigorously instead of driving to overcome on the fuel crisis. ?  Use air to dry clothes rather than the clothes dryer machine. ?  Install a programmable thermostat in your room cooler and air conditioners, which automatically adjusts the temperature when you are in bed or away. ?  Switch off ligh ts when leaving a room. The view of energy conservation, is been defined to give a thorough overview of renewable energy, now lets take a brief look over the stance of renewable energy. AN OVERVIEW OF THE RENEWABLE ENERGY: The energy which has been generated from the natural resources, like the sunlight, rain, tides, wind, and geothermal heat which can be refill tranquilly is called renewable energy. It has been estimated that in the year 2006, about 18% of the global energy consumptions came from renewable from which 13% imminent from biomass like from burning of the wood. Hydroelectricity is known as the second largest resource of the renewable energy which conduced 3% of the energy consumption and 15% of electric generation across the globe in the year 2008 (Global Status Report 2007). Wind power is also a famous form of the renewable energy which has a remarkable growth rate of around 30% annually with a installed capacity of over 121,000 megawatts in the year 2008, which has been massively used in Europe and in the United States of America (USA) (Renewable Global Status Report: 2009 Pg- 9). As per estimation the annual manufacturing output of the photovoltaic industry breached the level of 6900 MW in the year 2008. The photovoltaic power stations are quite popular in Spain and Germany because of their credible performance. Solar thermal power station is also one of the famous stations which mainly operate in USA and Spain. The largest of the solar thermal power station produces 354 MW operated in the Mojave Dessert. The Geysers is the world largest Geothermal Power Station (GPS) which is located in California, with a record or rated capacity of 750 MW (Calpine Corporation The Geysers. Retrieved from http://www.geysers.com). Brazil is the country who has the largest setup program of the renewable energy; it also involves the production of ethanol fuel which has been produced with the help of the sugar cane and the essence of the ethanol provides 18% of the countrys automotive fuel. Apart from the Brazil, ethanol fuel is also amply available in USA, while most of the renewable energy projects and its production on the large scale are also suited to the small off-grid applicat ions which sometimes located in the rural and remote areas, wherein the component of the energy are so essential for the human development (World Energy Assessment (2001). Renewable energy technologies, pg. 221). Kenya is the country which has the worlds highest household solar ownership rate with roughly 30,000 small (20-100 watt) solar power systems sold per year (What Solar Power Needs Now Renewable Energy Access, 13 August 2007). The market of the renewable energy has been envisage a continuous growth but the climate change like the high oil prices and mounting government support are driving spurring renewable energy legislation incentives and commercialization. HYDROPOWER ENERGY: Hydropower is inevitably is the largest source of the renewable energy, which provides 10% of the nations overall electricity. As per estimation, there were over 77,000 Megawatts of hydropower, which are adequate enough to provide energy to 35 million homes. Hydropower energy has been produce with the help of the water. The water has been utilized in this way that its flow will be converting in the hydropower energy. Most of the water which has been utilized for this purpose taken from the rivers or released through turbines to produce enough energy for the global usage. The power source has a great element attached with it, which is the releasing of the population so the ingredients which have been implant in the water will not harm the living beings and also the ocean species. However, scientist endeavors really hard through the latest technology to reduce the loss of marine life from the adverse effects of the energy, but the core problem with the technology is that, it is highly expensive and take a long time to build. Renewable energy technology is improving considerably. The prices of energy have dropped because new vehicles with sophisticated fuel systems and substitute fuels like the Ethanol are being launched and are a way to better technological encroachments. BIOMASS/BIO-ENERGY: As per the estimation and the result of the statistics the biomass construct about 7,000 megawatts of renewable electricity. Biomass fuels come from the forestry like the wood products, agriculture, constructions and transportation. Like the hydropower energy, which can be produce by replace the water into energy, it has also produced by reinstate the coal into the power plant which produces the energy. It has considered producing the energy because it fabricates less sulfur dioxide than coal. The operations of the Mill give the impression to be the chief basis of biomass energy in the U.S.  On the contrary, Europe illustrates its foremost source of bio-energy from urban wood squander.  However, the third world countries make lumber their most important source of the bio-energy. As per the statistics, 11% of the world obtains s its energy from biomass stations.  Developing countries use about 35% of the biomass energy; by contrast the poorest ones use roughly 90%. GEOTHERMAL ENERGY: Geothermal energy has the propensity to produce about 2,800 Megawatts of energy each year, or more precisely it can be say that 0.2% of the energy of US as a whole. Geothermal energy is shaped from logically taking place condensation and scorching dampens as of beneath the Earths exterior.  The vapor turns around a turbine, which in revolve powers of an electric generator.  Apart from that, the hot water can also be used to unswervingly heat edifices.  The disadvantage to geothermal energy is that land sites are very hard to find and tremendously rare.  An optimistic fact is that geothermal energy is very cost effective and dependable. WIND ENERGY: Wind energy manufactures a propos 2,500 Megawatts of energy, and engenders a measly .1% of our electricity.  The blustery weather turns blades in the region of a hub, which is allied to the main streak.  The core streak spins the generator.  The extent of turbines is gritty by how much energy is needed.  Miniature wind turbines are frequently used for homes, farms and ranches.  Other ways to use wind energy include grinding grain and pumping water. Wind is classed in categories of 1 through 7, with 7 being the highest and 1 being the lowest.  A good blustery weather source that has a class of 3 or higher is the east shoreline and along the Appalachian Mountains.  North Dakota is an excellent wind source. The drawbacks of wind energy are that again, the technology is very luxurious and unaffordable, the equipment is acknowledged to be earsplitting natural world have been killed by successively into the turbines, and the wind might not be present at convinced period all o ver the year. PHOTOVOLTAICS (PV) CELLS: PHOTOVOLTAICS PV cells generate electrical energy from the sunlight.  Resources used in computer chips are comparable to resources used in PV cells.  These resources soak up the sunlight, which frees the electrons from their atoms and mandates them to produce the electricity. PV cells are enormous because they dont entail high continuation, are very reliable and dependable, and dont produce pollutants. Even though it is better to use renewable energy, we immobile have to use some type of relic fuels.  We can, nevertheless, make the paramount choices, by using normal gas for water heating and power domestic device, which not only is better for the environment, but costs effective as well. The negative aspect to this power resource is that it costs more than other energy sources and tends to work in actual fact only when the sun is immaculate. THE NIGERIAN ENERGY SITUATION From the residence expansion based evaluation description on the Niger Delta Environment, it was acknowledged that water and oil which are the two rich normal resources in the region are the springs and grounds of miserable deficiency. The equivalent can be said about vigor possessions such as gas, coal etc. in Nigeria, which is in huge large quantity, yet there is energy dearth in the country. Climate Change Climate change is like the Sword of Damocles hanging over humanity. It is simply the process by which human emissions of Greenhouse Gases are believed to be causing changes in the Earths climate system. The emission of Green House Gases (mostly from anthropogenic activities) into the atmosphere, turn out to deplete the ozone layer that absorbs/shields the atmosphere of intensive sun radiation and in turn makes the planet earth unduly warm with resultant variations in climate conditions. This phenomenon is known as climate change. It brings about global warming that is responsible for increases in extreme weather conditions, rise in sea level, storms, floods, decrease in rainfalls, droughts, impairment of the ecosystems and its biodiversities which human life depends on, rapidly melting glaciers, destabilization of major ice sheets, desertification, decrease in agricultural produce etc. Government effort Government effort in the area of developing energy sector to the improvement of the poor status quo is on-going as seen in the current legislative process on national energy bill for an act that will lead to the establishment of a national agency that will take charge of regulating, enforcing policies and developing the energy sector in Nigeria. Just as we now have the National Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA), so we hope to have the national energy regulatory agency when the bill is enacted into law. Yet, if we must achieve energy efficiency, gas flaring must not exist and in the face of governments discouraging effort in that direction, much is expected to be done, particularly by the civil society. Although the issuance of deadline for flares-out, January 2008 is reasonable, whereas its commitment to realizing it is absolutely discouraging due to lack of compliance on cash calls to the tune of $4billion (N508 billion) yearly for joint venture projects (JVP). This is due to the fact that the Federal Government through NNPC owns the largest stake in the JVP. The oil/gas sector have since been working on various gas utilization projects, by way of using gas for power generation to, at least, improve epileptic nature of power supply in the country, while some are working on exporting the gas. On Gas-to-Power Project The International Finance Institutions (IFIs) and the World Bank are currently assisting the Agips Kwale Partners Flaring-Reduction to use the natural gas to generate electricity. The project is further supported by Global Gas Flaring Reduction (GGFR) a Public Private Partnership (PPP) project and is to be registered as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project under the Kyoto Protocol. The Kwale Partners Flaring Reduction Project which is 40% stake to Nigerian AGIP and 60% to NNPC, will be the first to put associated natural gas into generating electricity in Nigeria and will eliminate 1.5 million tons of CO2 thus becoming the 10th largest in the 2,160 projects in CDP pipeline of Kyoto Protocol. There are also plans to build a $10billion (N1.27 trillion) gas pipeline network across the Sahara Desert through Niger, Algeria, across the Mediterranean for export of gas from Nigeria to Europe by Shell. In addition to that, the West Africa Gas Pipeline (WAGP) project spearheaded by Ch evron is to also export gas from Nigeria to Benin, Togo and Ghana, with capacity of 75 billion cubit feet a year and would cost $590 million (N74.6 billion). SPDC, NNPC are equally partners in the project. And for Ghana Pipeline stretch, the World Bank has already provided guarantee for $50 million (N6.3 billion) while $75million (N9.5billion) political risk guarantee has also been provided for West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAGPCO) that will operate the project. Chevron has 36.7 % stake in WAGPCO, Shell, Tokoradi Power Company Limited of Ghana, Togolaise de Gaz and Societe Beninoise de Gaz are other shareholders in the company. Impacts and Statistics Meanwhile, United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOOA) in its studies revealed that Nigeria flares 75% of its Natural gas for lack of processing facilities and that amounted to 20% of flared gas Worldwide. Secondly, according to Earth Trend Country Profile 2003, its report on Nigeria shows that Nigeria flares 2.5billion cubic feet per day of associated gas and that represents 40% of all natural gas consumed in the continent of Africa and further represents the single largest sources of GHG emissions on planet earth. On that note the Nigerian Government is doubling its effort in seeking support on how to tackle the issue of flares-out. Presently, the Government is seeking assistance from Norway, while World Bank is presently mediating between it and the Multinational oil/gas companies for a compromise on the ultimatum to end gas flaring January 2008. SUSTAINABLE HOUSING IN NIGERIA: One may perchance be excited to put why accent is being positioned on the housing. Firstly of all mans basic needs, housing questionably, constitutes and incontrovertibly poses the supreme challenge. Secondly, dynamic and lighthearted accommodation sectors are a proposition of a physically powerful curriculum of countrywide investment and are to be sure the groundwork of and the first step to future monetary growth and social development. The unpleasant housing delivery is consequently a most important factor in the nations gross domestic product (GDP) and indeed this reflects the mirror and the gauge of the state of health of the Nation. Financially viable activities are well recognized to include all aspects of human enterprise that are heading for towards the conception of wealth. It is also known that one of the foundations of person needs is to try to find to augment our self worth by civilizing our living standards. Economic growth is therefore a natural hunt in any individual set-up as such enhancements is predictable to lead to amplified wealth and affluence both for individuals and the complete nation. In regulate to restrain the heightened deficiency of sanctuary in the country, the NHP for the period spanning 1994 to 1998 was probable to build 121,000 housing units. In addition, the amount of Licensed Primary Mortgage Finance Institutions (LPMFI) rose from 251 in 1993 to 276 in 1994. However, by the end of 1998, it has declined to 115. Similarly, the Federal Government resources disbursement on somewhere to live increase by over 500 per cent to N4818.3 million in 1995 from N776.7 million in 1988, but deteriorates slightly by about to per cent to N722.0 million in 1998 (CBN 1994 and 1998). The Federal and the State Government were probable to spend N2.7 billion on housing provision during the 1996-8 NRP. Over N3.0 billion was expected to be spending by the two levels of governments during the 1999-2001 NRP (NPC, 1998 and 2000). Regardless of all these interferences and inventions and huge investments in housing requirements since the colonial times and to date, Nigerias housing pr oblems still remain intractable. In fact, access to decent shelter has wretched for increasing segments of the urban population in Nigeria. For instance, it was reported that out of 121,000 housing units be down for to be built between 1994 and 1995, only 1,014 houses were completed (CBN, 1994 and 1998; and Vision 2010 Main Report). Also, it was estimated that about 85 per cent of urban population live in single rooms, and the number of tenants per room range from 8 to 12 with adverse effects on sanitation and health. The deteriorating housing situation in Nigeria, especially at the urban centers is too critical to leave for government to level out alone. Nigeria is the 6th biggest creator of unfinished oil in the privileged confederation known as OPEC, whose members account for over two -third of the worlds total supply of this product. Also the countrys anticipated reserves of natural gas runs into billions of metric tones and the first train of the liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has recently being shipped out with the  construction all fully committed to purchases from abroad. In terms of revenue earning capability and latent, it is worth mentioning that Nigeria to date has realized over S200 billion from crude oil sales. For a country that could blow your own horn of such huge amount of possessions, it is very saddening and disturbing to note that very little of the pay packet have been put into use to boost the fortune of the Housing Industry and infrastructure. The industry should have seen a lot more commotion and government support, in large scale development schemes, and improvement and providing of infrastructure; provision of large scale community housing, creating and getting higher new towns. A superficial look at the present state of the housing condition tells an obtrusive tale of a huge paradox An absurdity of achieving so little with so many donations! A measure of inadequacy of the government that should to provide the lead. And so today the somewhere to live stipulation is in a state of down for the count, neither dying nor living!!! STATUS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY IN NIGERIA: Wind Energy Potentials Internationally, Nigeria is positioned within short to moderate wind liveliness zone. Ojosu and Salawu (1989) carried out the most inclusive on a national scale study on current of air get-up-and-go accessibility and latent in Nigeria. The revise uses facts on Wind speeds and guidelines for 22 meteorological Stations from the Nigerian Meteorological office, Oshodi near Lagos. The meteorological data are based on the 3-hourly records of wind for periods ranging from 12 to 33 years (1951 1983) The insolvents at 10m heights are drawn and four different wind zones/regimes are identified .The wind energy probable for wind energy consumption in Nigeria is broadly considered (Ojosu and Salawu, 1990). Solar Energy Resources in Nigeria According to Bala et al (2000), Nigeria is gifted with a twelve-monthly normal daily brightness of 6.25 hours, ranging between about 3.5 hours at the coastal areas and 9.0 hours at the far northern boundary (Figure 8). Correspondingly, it has an annual average daily solar emission of about 5.25 KW/m2/day, varying between about 3.5 kWm2/day at the coastal Area and 7.0kW/m2/day at the northern boundary (8). Nigeria accepts on the subject of 4.851x 1012 KWh of energy per day from the sun. This is the same to about 1.082 million tones of oil Equivalent (mtoe) per day, and is about 4 thousand times the current daily crude oil diminution, and about 13 thousand times that of natural gas daily construction based on energy unit. This huge energy resource from the sun is available for about 26% only of the day. The country is also characterized with some cold and dusty impression during the harmattan, in its northern part, for a period of about four months (No vember-February) annually (13). The dust has an attenuating effect on the solar radiation intensity (Bala, et al, 2001). Biogas Energy Resources Akinbami et al (2001)s consideration indicated that in Nigeria, notorious feedstock substrate for an economically reasonable biogas program embraces water lettuee, water hyacinth, dung, cassava leave, urban refuse, solid (including industrial) waste, agricultural residues and sewage. Various farming and domestic animals resources and their coupled residues have the prospective substrates for biogas production in the country. Akinbami et al (2001)s views include the following; Nigeria produces about 227,500 tons of fresh animal wastes daily. Since 1 kilogram (kg) of fresh animal wastes produces about 0.03 m3 gas, then Nigeria can produce about 6.8 million m3 of biogas every day. In addition to all these, 20kg of municipal solid wastes (MSW) per capital has been estimated to be generated within the country annually. By the 1991 census figure of 88.5 million inhabitants, the full amount generated MSW will be at least 1.77 million tones every year. With escalating urbanization and industrialization, the annual MSW generated will maintain to increase. Biogas construction may therefore be a money-spinning means of falling or even eliminate the peril and annoyances of urban waste in many cities by recycle them. REFERENCES:   Abumere S.

Racial Propaganda In The Third :: essays research papers fc

Racial Propaganda during the Third Reich   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  One of the most central ideals in Nazi ideology was that of a continual attack against other races deemed inferior by Adolf, more specifically Jews. Racial minorities were used as scapegoats with which the Nazis blamed for what was wrong with the country on. In the speeches to the masses at Nazi rallies, they would start off by bringing up all the problems that they have been having, the depression, the Versailles Treaty, and any other hardship that they had experienced, and make the Jews the architect behind their ruin. The speakers would focus all their anger on the Jewish people and other minorities. Hate and anger seem to be key points in Nazi ideology. To sustain the kind of anger the Nazis needed to sway the masses over to their side, they needed a common enemy, somebody or something that could be seen everyday. Jews were portrayed as extremists and revolutionaries. They were supposedly different from the average moderate Germans, and even more different than the Nazis. People like Hitler, Goebbels, and Julius Streicher played on this ignorance of other people to instill fear and loathing of the Jews. In general, people don’t like what they don’t understand. The Nazis exploited this truism by warping, retarding, and creating supposed grievances that the Jews were responsible. During the rallies, the speakers would rant and rave about how they would exact â€Å"vengeance against their eternal enemy, the Jew† (1), and how that â€Å"Europe will have defeated this threat only when the last Jew has left our part of the planet† (1). Hitler himself at the outbreak of â€Å"The German people will not be destroyed in this war, rather the Jew† (1). The Nazi leaders would spout out so-called scientific evidence that the only way to ensure the survival of the Aryan race is that of racial purity. Over and over through their speeches and pamphlets, they emphasized that: â€Å"The decline of a people’s culture is always the result of race mixing and a decline in racial quality. Any change in the racial makeup of a people leads to a change in its nature and its culture. If the race that gave a people its nature is debased by mixing with foreign and inferior races, the people’s culture will perish and can never again be restored to full life.† (1)   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  The Nazis advocated a homogenous society where only the Aryan and Nordic races would exist, while driving out all the other â€Å"inferior† races to protect the purity of the races, even at the cost of genocide towards the Jews.

The Evolution of Sex Essay -- Reproductive Science

Introduction Life on Earth is all about sex. But sex is far more attributable to our animalistic instincts than many humans even realize. Animals and human beings, alike, go through unimaginable things to ensure their genes are passed on for another generation. The one goal in most species’ lives is to reproduce so that some parts of their DNA or genes get handed down. Clearly without reproduction and sex, which are distinctly different terms, the species would become extinct. Because of this inescapable fact, the evolution of sex is a very important topic. One may say that sex drives evolution and evolution drives nature, which in turn makes sex the center of existence. When examining the evolution of sex there are many different topics and facts to be looked at closely. This paper will give a brief description of the history of sexual reproduction and how it has evolved over the past 600 million years. Next, a discussion on Darwin’s theories of natural selection and sexual selection and their role in evolutionary theory will be presented. In addition, this paper will include a thorough examination of the different forms of reproduction; the history, current state, and future of human sexual reproduction; and various other interesting topics relating to the evolution of sex. Reproduction Wilson (1975) notes that an individual organism is part of an elaborate device that ensures the survival and replication of genes with the least possible biochemical alteration. Being that reproduction is thought to be one of the primary reasons for existence for many species, it is important to investigate its role in the evolution of sex.

The Aging Process in Katherine Mansfields Miss Brill Essay -- Miss Bri

Katherine Mansfield's "Miss Brill" perfectly captures the phases one's mind goes through when faced with becoming old. Elderly people tend to be nostalgic, even sentimental about their youth. In later years, the nostalgia can develop into senility or fantasy. The ermine fur in "Miss Brill" is the catalyst of her nostalgia and symbolizes the passing of time in three stages: an expectant youth, a vital adulthood, and finally, a development into old age and fantasy. The story opens with Miss Brill's excitement that the "season" has arrived for social engagements; perhaps it is the tourist season when the ladies debut their latest fashions. With all the expectancy of a young girl looking forward to courtship, Miss Brill unpacks her prized and most fashionable possession, the ermine fur. While unpacking the fur, the reader is aware that Miss Brill is lapsing into elderly nostalgia because she speaks to the fur in such delighted tones. Miss Brill refers to her ermine fur as her "Little Rogue"(182). We learn that the ermine fur is fragile and in disrepair; we sense that Miss Brill is, to...

Importance Of Teacher Motivation Education Essay

A survey of instructors ‘ motive consists of two chief subjects. The first one identifies the different factors impacting instructors ‘ motive, while the 2nd facet analyses how the school caputs can impact on instructors ‘ motive through their leading. This chapter explains the importance of instructor motive. The motivational factors for instructors, using literature findings are reviewed.2.2: Importance of instructor motiveSchools exist, chiefly to educate kids. It is for this intent that instructors are employed in schools ( Fiddler & A ; Atton, 1997 ) . Teachers are, therefore, the most of import professionals for any state ‘s hereafter. However, without equal support and resources, instructors will non be motivated although they may be extremely qualified. It is sad to observe that instructors, the most valuable human resource, are frequently neglected ( Abdo, 2001 ) . One should bear in head that a state ‘s strength depends on the high quality of i ts instruction system and the strength of such a system, in bend, relies on qualified and motivated instructors. Inspired and motivated are indispensable in supplying quality instruction. Schools would decidedly non last without motivated and dedicated instructors.2.3: Factors impacting instructors ‘ motiveResearch ( Eimers, 1997 ) has shown that instructors are influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Further surveies on motive for learning distinguished between intrinsic, extrinsic and selfless grounds for taking the profession ( Kyriacou & A ; Coulthard, 2000 ; Moran, Kilpatrick, Abbott, Dallat, & A ; McClune, 2001 ) . Intrinsically motivated instructors are focused on instruction and the activity related to the occupation itself. The built-in satisfaction or the joy of instruction is viewed as the drive force. The extrinsically motivated instructors focus on the benefits of learning, such as salary, holidaies or other external wagess connected to the occupation. Finally, the selflessly motivated teacher positions learning as a socially worthwhile and of import occupation, and has a desire to be portion of immature peoples ‘ growing and devel opment. Barmby ( 2006, p. 253 ) extrapolated these findings and points out that instructors ‘ motive is influenced less by externally initiated factors such as salary, educational policy and reform and conditions of service, than by those emanating from the intrinsic context within which they work. Harmonizing to Hallinger and Heck ( 1998 ) , school leaders can play a critical function in the success of educational establishments. To the extent that school leaders can command the results of instructors ‘ attempts, they can act upon the degrees of motive instructors experience ( Silver, 1982 ) . This can be through their influence on instructors ‘ morale and motive. Surveies have lent cogent evidence ( Hallinger and Heck, 1998 ; Leithwood and Jantzi, 2005 ; Leithwood and Mascall, 2008 ) that School leading affects the manner instructors teach, and therefore, impact straight on pupil public presentation. Since school leaders can, in one manner or the other, impact the intrinsic factors listed, they, therefore, play an highly function in actuating instructors. Indeed, in an effort to analyze instructors ‘ motive, Pitre ( 2003 ) found important relationship between school leading and teacher motive. A school caput should non merely be an effectual leader, director and counsellor, but besides an effectual incentive. Motivated instructors are productive instructors ( Osterloh, Bruno and Frost, 2001 ) as they have occupation satisfaction. School leaders should bear in head that without these, educational programmes may be profoundly weakened ( Snowden and Gorton, 2002 ) . This is supported by Brown ‘s survey ( 2005 ) , which found important nexus between political, local and organizational factors and the usage of inducements to actuate instructors in charter schools. Motivation was higher where more external inducements were provided. In fact, School leading and Teacher Motivation are two things that are inextricably linked.2.4 Importance of leading in schoolsFor much of the 20th century, the function of the school caput was that of director, where he/she was expected to pull off forces and budget, while managing other operational issues ( Usdan, McCloud, & A ; Podmostko, 2000 ) . Studies on the subject suggest that in the yesteryear, principals were able to win, at least partly, by merely transporting out the directives of cardinal decision makers ( Perez et al. 1999 ) . Today, in a quickly altering epoch of standards-based reform, as instruction moved into a new epoch of answerability, a different construct has emerged. Harmonizing to Dussault and Barnett ( 1996 ) , educational administrations are confronting many challenges and this displacement brings with it dramatic alterations in what public instruction demands from principals. School principals must, hence, heighten the quality of their services ; they can no longer map merely as edifice directors, tasked with adhering to territory regulations, transporting out ordinances and avoiding errors. â€Å" Management † by principals is no longer plen ty to run into today ‘s educational challenges ( Mulford, 2003 ) . Researchers ( Dussault and Barnett, 1996 ) claim that the existent state of affairss in schools call for betterment and educational leading. As Cawelti ( 1984, p.3 ) stated: â€Å" Continuing research on effectual schools has verified the common sense observation that schools are seldom effectual, in any sense of the word, unless the principal is a â€Å" good † leader † .2.4.1 School leading and effectual schoolsSchool leading ( Huber, 2004 ) , so, has a polar function in lending to effectual schools. Gurr, Drysdale, and Mulford ( 2005 ) found in their instance survey research on Australian principals that â€Å" the principal remains an of import and important figure in finding the success of a school † ( p. 548 ) . Extensive empirical attempts have shown that leading is a cardinal factor for the quality and effectivity of a school ( Reynolds, 1976 ; Harris, 2005 ) . The research conseque nces show that each and every successful school possesses a competent and sound school leading. Research ( Barber, 1995 ; Mortimore, Sammons, Stoll, Lewis and Ecob, 1988 ; Stoll and Fink, 1996 ) has shown that leading, in fact, defines the success of a school. Harmonizing to Leithwood, Day, Sammons, Hopkins and Harris ( 2006, p. 14-15 ) , â€Å" there is non a individual documented instance of a school successfully turning around its pupil achievement flight in the absence of gifted leading. † In this line of idea, Leithwood, Louis, Anderson & A ; Wahlstrom ( 2004 ) claimed that while schoolroom direction has the greatest impact on pupil accomplishment, leading has the 2nd greatest consequence. The function of the school leader has to be seen in relationship to the context in which the school is runing. Schools are embedded in the instruction system and their local communities ; leaders, hence, have to respond to, get by with and back up the development of the community served by their several schools. Huber ( 1997 ) firmly believes that â€Å" school leaders matter, they are educationally-significant, school leaders do do a difference. † Given the manifold undertakings and duties of school leading, every bit good as the competences required, school leaders may be regarded as â€Å" superheroes † . Their complex function can barely be filled with traditional leading constructs ( Huber, 2004 ) . Educational leaders are now confronted with an wholly new scope of demands and challenges. They should bear in head that their administrations have been set up to carry through a specific societal purpose, determining the society. The quality of instruction provided at school, hence, determines the future society. Furthermore, school leading proved to be of import for the acquisition environment for instructors in schools ( James & A ; McCormick, 2009 ; Louis, Dretzke, & A ; Wahlstrom, 2010 ) .2.4.2 Successful and effectual School leading2.4.2.1 Firm and purposeful leading It has been proven that all facets of the school rely on a proper School Leader ( Stoll and Fink, 1996 ; Huber, 2004 ; Mortimore et al. , 1988 ) . However, both the School Leader and single instructors are of extreme importance. Leithwood, in concert with others ( Leithwood et al. , 2004 ; Leithwood and Riehl, 2003 ; Leithwood et al. , 2006 ) , identified four wide classs of educational leading, or â€Å" nucleus patterns: † puting waies ; developing people ; redesigning the organisation ; and pull offing the instructional plan. At the same clip, effectual leaders know that the ability to take and pull off organizational alteration is critical for endurance since the school environment is a dynamic 1. School Leaderships should integrate the ability to cover with alterations happening in school system construction, particularly when more duties are being thrusted upon the shoulders of the School Leader by the educational system. Harmonizing to Calabrese ( 2002 ) the prototype school leader in the twenty-first century is a alteration agent. They have a duty to take alteration that consequences in more effectual and efficient educational patterns, in an environment that is progressively political. Therefore, outstanding school caputs should be proactive. They must do the alteration go on without estranging the instruction staffs. They should move as go-betweens between those defying alterations ( Levine and Lezotte, 1990 ) and the alteration agents. Leaderships, therefore, got a cardinal function in bring oning others to follow alteration in order to better the organizational effectivity. Hence, school leaders, are cardinal to originate and keeping the school betterment procedure ( Sammons et al. , 1994c ) . Schools, expected to carry through multi-dimensional maps, are affected by both internal and external environmental factors ( Eres, 2011 ) . School leaders can extinguish the negative effects of such factors. Therefore, they need to be proactive, expecting jobs and should be prepared to antagonize these expeditiously and efficaciously. The function of the School Leader is non ever clearly defined since taking and pull offing are two blending duties.2.4.3 School leading and instructors ‘ motiveLeadership can be defined as the ability to enlist, mobilise and actuate others to use their abilities and resources to a given cause ( Eyal and Roth, 2010 ) . This capacity is cardinal in the educational domain. Very frequently, pedagogues think in footings of actuating pupils to larn. Equally of import, though, with regard to educational leading is the motive of instructors ( Silver, 1982 ) . Harmonizing to Kocabas and Karakose ( 2002 ) , instructors are responsible to their schools and the principals are in bend responsible for the proper disposal of the school. Therefore, the chief duty for actuating instructors falls to the school caput. Along this line, Barker ( 2001 ) studied hapless performing artists and effectual principals and suggested that effectual leaders so motivate the staff. He claimed that the latter should be at that place to enthuse and inspire instructors instead than to ‘shape ‘ them. Good leading improves both teacher motive and work scenes. Further research by Kiziltepe ( 2006 ) found that the primary beginning of instructors ‘ de-motivation was the disposal Though, the relationship between School leading and Teacher Motivation have non straight been capable to much research, Brown and Hughes ( 2008 ) highlight the importance of researching the different factors that motivate instructors, as society progressively holds them accountable for pupil accomplishment. The relationship between school leading and instructor motive is related in the research literature to the effort to better understand principals ‘ impact on school public presentation ( Leithwood and Jantzi, 2005 ; Leithwood and Mascall, 2008 ; Supovitz, Sirinides and May, 2010 ) . Thus instructors ‘ battle and their motive have been studied largely as a interceding factor between school leading and pupils ‘ acquisition ( Hallinger and Heck, 1998 ) . Harmonizing to Sharpe, Klockow & A ; Martin ( 2002 ) , the factors actuating instructors can change from schoolroom to schoolroom, school to school, or territory to territory. If instructors are non motivated to lea rn, so the hunt for educational excellence will be avail ( Richardson, Short & A ; Prickett, 2003 ) .2.4.3.1: How can School leaders affect instructors ‘ motiveSeveral surveies suggest that school leading is 2nd merely to classroom instruction as an influence on pupil acquisition ( Leithwood, Harris, & A ; Hopkins, 2008 ; Leithwood & A ; Jantzi, 2008 ) and that cardinal to optimising pupil acquisition is the influence exerted by school leaders on teacher motive and committedness ( Day, Stobart, Sammons, Kington, & A ; Gu, 2006 ; Leithwood & A ; Mascall, 2008 ) . Harmonizing to surveies ( Hallinger and Heck, 1996 ) , school leading affects pupils ‘ results indirectly, by making the conditions that support instructors ‘ ability to learn and pupils ‘ acquisition. Teachers ‘ motive includes the outgo of attempt to accomplish a end ( Martin, 2000 ) . It is besides about making forces that power and drive their several behaviors ( Bursalioglu, 2002 ) . Dull ( 1981 ) believes that school leaders could actuate instructors by bettering a state of affairs perceived to be hard by an person, thereby run intoing demands. In add-on, the school leader can besides actuate instructors by supplying equal drive forces to press one into action ( Genc, 1987 ) . The human factor should non be ignored, the educational leader should endeavor in developing a physiological and psychological procedure which takes into history single desires, ends, inclinations, behavior, self-interest, penchant, will-power and thrust. He/she should be considerate, that is, see both intrinsic and extrinsic forces that actuate, direct and maintain staff behaviors ( Gursel, 1997 ) . Motivating instructors besides implies increasing the latter ‘s willingness to work and doing them believe that they will fulfill their personal demands if they work expeditiously in the school ( Yuksel, 1998 ) , by supplying the appropriate conditions. Porter, Polikoff, Goldring, Murphy, Elliot and May ( 2010 ) claims that these conditions include high criterions for pupil acquisition, strict course of study, quality direction, a civilization of acquisition and above all- professional behavior. Indeed, scholarly Hagiographas have linked the above mentioned conditions with increased instructor motive to exercise excess attempt in learning ( Geisel, Sleegers, Leithwood and Jantzi, 2003 ) . They added that school leading has a cardinal function in guaranting these conditions at school. Geisel et Al. ( 2003 ) besides mentioned that schools are effectual merely when the whole school community work as a whole and non as fragmented units. Therefore, the school leaders should non merely occupy the authorization place but should besides be seeable ( Dinham, Cariney, Craigie and Wilson, 1995 ) in the establishment, so as to be able to actuate their staffs. 2.4.3.1.1: Visible leading Indeed, Dinham et Al. ( 1995 ) found that secondary school principals ‘ duties include being seeable, keeping contact with pupil groups, maintaining unfastened lines of communicating with stakeholders, advancing a positive school clime, being cognizant and in control of all school issues, act uponing the school tone, and furthering school pride. Harmonizing to farther surveies ( Huber, 1997 ) , instructors recognize it is extremely actuating when their school caput is involved in the day-to-day modus operandi. The school leader, demoing dedicated involvement in what happens in the category itself, is much appreciated. Teachers have a high regard for leaders cognizing about the course of study and who are actively involved in supervising pupils ‘ advancement. Robinson ( 2006 ) points out that school leaders who have capable specific cognition will be more confident and successful in back uping betterment in instructors ‘ pattern. No uncertainty, instructors find it e xtremely actuating when the principal provides a assortment of support, including practical aid and encouragement ( Murphy, 1989 ) . This involves frequent motion through the school, category visits every bit good as some informal exchange with the learning staff ( Teddlie et al. , 1989 ) . Harmonizing to Scheerens ( 1992 ) , this â€Å" is one of the pillars of school leading † and such regular interactions could besides assist in measuring the ways instructors work.2.4.1 Relationship between school leader and instructorsDavis et Al. ( 2002 ) argue that the relationship between school leaders and instructors is really of import: the school leader ‘s respect for others is, cardinal, to actuating instructors. Bing in charge of the school disposal, school leaders have the greatest portion in actuating instructors. Harmonizing to Griffin ( 2010 ) , relationships with decision makers were rated as a extremely motivative factor. This is supported by Asbill and Gonzalez ( 200 0 ) who found a relationship between positive principal-teacher interactions and teacher occupation satisfaction. Egley ( 2003 ) found similar consequences and emphasized the importance of a supportive principal-teacher relationship. School leaders ( Barnett and McCormick, 2003 ) must be able to make an environment conducive to the edifice of positiveness, supplying the platform for the staff to keep good dealingss, so as to make a healthy environment, where all can turn adequately. Wallace ( 2010 ) further claimed that school leading should besides include some emotional dimension. She posited that school leaders who understand the emotional context in which they work will supply a more hearty and effectual work context for instructors. They highlighted that working in a schoolroom environment where there is administrative support enhances the component of regard. Indeed, interviews by Sederberg and Clark ( 1990 ) showed that instructors perceive regard as the most of import inducement, followed by trust, optimism and intentionality. Further research ( Geisel et al. , 2003 ) has shown that certain methods adopted by the School leading so impact on the degree of instructor motive, for case, specifying a clear vision and aims.Shared vision and endsScholars ( Eyal and Roth, 2010 ; Barnett and McCormick, 2002 ) posited that vision potentially offers the greatest capacity to act upon instructors ‘ motive. Lashway ( 2000 ) added that school principals should guarantee that this vision is relevant to the school context. The leader ‘s vision must besides be related to the bing demands and civilization of the school ( Keedy, 1991 ) . In add-on, it must be focused, consistent, at the same clip, including short term every bit good as long term aims ( Geisel et al. , 2003 ) . These aid define and advance high outlooks ; and they connect straight with instructors and the schoolroom. Barnett and McCormick ‘s ( 2003 ) findings echoed the above research workers ‘ thoughts and even extrapolated those- they concluded that instructors should, at all cost, portion the school ‘s vision. This is because vision provides personal ends for the instructor, a desire to see a alteration in the hereafter. The staff should be able to link to the vision when it is clearly defined, so that, their ain personal aims may shoot out from it. Their surveies have shown that instructors are extremely motivated when they build consensus on the purposes and values of the school. In such instances, instructors can set these into pattern through collaborative and consistent of working. Empirical grounds ( Leithwood and Riehl, 2003 ; Ylimaki, 2006 ) proved that vision creates a sense of intent that binds instructors together and impel them to carry through their deepest aspirations and to make ambitious ends. Indeed, Brewer ‘s research ( 1993 ) showed that pupil accomplishment degrees were higher in schools where the principal had hired like-minded instructors who shared the principal ‘s ends and who were able to implement efficaciously the principal ‘s vision. Other research workers ( Lee and Smith, 1994 ) analyzed public presentation from 820 secondary schools and found that coherent, sustained, and focused reforms resulted in the best results for pupils. Therefore, effectual professional principals ( Huber, 1997, 2004 ) should unrelentingly work to better accomplishment by concentrating on specifying SMART ends. However, bookmans ( Gagne and Deci, 2005 ; Sheldon, Turban, Brown, Barrick and Judge, 2003 ) claimed that showing followings with a value-laden vision is non plenty. Leading professional No uncertainty, implementing a vision is non instantaneous ; it requires perennial rhythms of contemplation, rating, and response, and merely the principal can prolong it ( Lashway, 1997 ) . Sheldon et Al. ( 2003 ) posited that the leading function played by the school principal is critical in guaranting the vision and mission is attained. Therefore, principals need to have on many different chapeaus during the school twenty-four hours. But, the most effectual school principals are non merely directors and martinets but besides instructional leaders for the school ( Leithwood and Mascall, 2008 ) . Their surveies showed that an effectual school leader is non simply a good decision maker or director, but besides a taking professional- a transformational leader. Harmonizing to Burns ( 1978 ) transformational leading is the procedure in which leaders and their followings bring each other to a higher degree of ethic and motive. Today ‘s schools, hence, want non merely airy and professional leaders ( Lashway, 2000 ) , but transformational 1s.Transformational Leadership and motiveLeithwood ( 1992 ) claimed that transformational leading is, really, the restructuring of the system in order for the mission and vision of people to be redefined. It besides ensures that the staff identifies themselves with the ends of the administration, together with enlisting the engagement of the staffs by taking into consideration their sentiment greatly provide the range for motive. Bass ( 1990 ) suggested that motive is, in fact, a sub-dimension of transformational leading. Other bookmans ( Simola, Barling and Turner, 2010 ; Park and Rainey, 2008 ) besides concluded that motive has been shown to be an inspiring constituent of such sort of leading and these have shown a positive relationship between transformational leading and motive. Indeed, Bass and Avolio ( 1997 ) have argued that transformational leading can bring forth extraordinary results in footings of increased committedness to accomplishing group or organizational ends. Coupled with the above, Shamir, House and Arthur ( 1993 ) , maintained that transformational leaders besides foster intrinsic motives related to self construct. Their theory of leading asserted that magnetic leaders promote followings ‘ intrinsic motive to move beyond their self-esteem, self value and societal designation. Research has shown a positive relationship between transformational leading and motive. It has been proved that in an administration with transformational leaders, there is higher productiveness and that the employees are happier and there are fewer negative incidents ( Robbins, 1996 ) . Indeed, transformational Leadership plays an of import function in developing self-motivation. Leaderships increase their workers ‘ motive through their behavior ( Bass, 1990, Greenberg and Baron, 2000 ) . As the human dealingss and communicative accomplishments of a transformational leader are developed, they are effectual in carrying and directing their followings ( G lad and Blanton, 1997 ) . They besides motivate followings to exceed their ain immediate opportunism for the interest of the mission and vision of the administration. The leader motivates followings to â€Å" work for nonnatural ends alternatively of immediate opportunism, for accomplishment and self-actualisation instead than safety and security † ( Murray & A ; Feitler, 1989, p. 3 ) , and creates within followings a capacity to develop higher degrees of committedness to organizational ends ( Leithwood & A ; Jantzi, 2000 ) . Followings ‘ assurance degrees are raised and their demands broadened by the leader to back up development to higher possible. Such entire battle ( emotional, rational and moral ) encourages followings to develop and execute beyond outlooks ( Bass, 1985 ; Burns, 1978 ) .2.3.5.1 Transformational and Transactional School leadingBass ‘s theoretical account ( 1998 ) of transformational and transactional leading has a figure of of import deductions for the current reform mo tion in instruction. Harmonizing to Bass and Avolio ( 1997 ) , the transformational/transactional attack builds trust, regard, and a want on the portion of followings to work jointly toward the same coveted hereafter ends. This non merely allows the transformational leader to run efficaciously within the available context, but to alter it, to do it more receptive to her or his ain leading orientation. Indeed, a positive relationship has been found ( Howell and Hall- Merenda, 1999 ) between transformational leading and a good resonance between the leader and follower. Using this to schools, Avolio and Bass ( 1988 ) argue that although transactional and transformational leading can stand for two distinct signifiers of leading, effectual school principals exhibit features of both by keeping short-run enterprises through transactional leading and by motivating alteration as a transformational leader. A figure of surveies emphasize the importance of transformative leading for school principals ( Fullan 1996 ; Hord 1992 ; Leithwood, Tomlinson & A ; Genge 1996 ; Wood 1998 ; Sergiovanni 1992 ; Conley 1997 ; Perez et Al. 1999 ; Reed and Roberts 1998 ) .Transformational school leading and instructor motiveContemporary in-between school leaders have a huge array of duties and are frequently characterized as those who should be â€Å" transformational leaders † ( Sanzo et al. , 2010 ) . The challenges brought to schools by reconstituting have been cited as grounds for recommending transformational leading in schools. Such leading embraces a postmodern manner of thought. It is argued that transformational leading is good suited to the challenges of current school restructuring. It has the potency for constructing high degrees of committedness ( in instructors ) to the complex and unsure nature of the school reform docket and for furthering growing in the capacities instructors must develop to react positively to this docket ( Leithwood and Jantzi, 1997 ) . Transformational leading is seen to be sensitive to administration edifice, developing shared vision, administering leading and edifice school civilization necessary to current restructuring attempts in schools ( Leithwood, Jantzi and Stainbach, 1999 ) . Transformational School leading: the four I ‘s and teacher motive Leithwood and Jantzi ( 1990 ) have defined transformational leading based on schools. Transformational leading dimensions, viz. , idealised influence, inspirational motive and rational stimulation, were found to straight act upon instructors ‘ sum of motive ( Geisel et al. , 2003 ; Leithwood and Jantzi, 2005 ) . These, in bend, had an indirect impact on pupils ‘ accomplishments and acquisition ( Leithwood and Jantzi, 2005 ) . Individualised attention-Teachers ‘ demands and outlooks Individualised attending ( Blase and Kirby, 2000 ) given to the staff, greatly adds up to teacher motive. Harmonizing to Blase and Kirby ( 2000 ) , it is of topmost importance for leaders to place instructors ‘ needs- the societal demands should non be neglected ( Bursalioglu, 2002 ) , and their feelings about their occupations. School leaders have to be witting of the fact that each individual has different demands and, hence, should be motivated consequently. Weller ( 1982 ) added that the school principal should be sympathetic to the demands of their instructors. The leaders should be able to provide for the demands of each and every 1. Harmonizing to Adair ( 2002 ) , a leader, who is non cognizant of these, and who does non expose attempt to carry through these, will decidedly confront troubles in actuating instructors. He added that merely a intelligent leader can invent and implement effectual schemes to help instructors in their development, guaranting they perform their several responsibilities in an effectual, enthusiastic and motivated mode. Blase , Derick and Stahth ( 1986 ) reported that principals ‘ initiating construction and exposing consideration were associated with more hearty work conditions, higher occupation satisfaction, and less occupation emphasis. Staff ‘s experience of occupation emphasis was seen as principals ‘ deficiency of consideration and was related to teacher dissatisfaction. It was found that instructors ( Blase et al. , 1986 ) are less likely to portion their positions and sentiments, or seeking to better the conditions if they feel that their school caputs are non plenty caring. Blase ( 1986 ) put frontward that the latter should endeavor to develop fruitful relationships with the learning staff, furthering positive communicating with and among instructors. It is merely through these relationships that they can set up leader legitimacy and encouraged committedness. Teachers should experience that they form portion of the school community and non merely as employees working in the school. The motive for working with the capable affair in which instructors have their academic grade and the wish to learn it to others are of import incentives for instructors both before and upon completion of the PGCE class ( Roness & A ; Smith, 2009, 2010 ) . Still, we find that the subject-matter involvement is a salient and stable incentive among these Norse instructors, a determination which aligns with other international research ( Kyriacou et al. , 1999 ; Manuel & A ; Brindley, 2005 ; Manuel & A ; Hughes, 2006 ) . A plausible ground for these consequences can be that when get downing teacher instruction, the pupils regard themselves as subject-matter specializers. Idealised influence Idealised influence is the magnetic component of transformational leading, in which leaders, go function theoretical accounts, who are admired, respected and emulated by their followings ( Avolio and Bass, 2002 ; Bass, 1998 ; Bass and Avolio, 1994 ) . As a consequence, followings demonstrate a high grade of trust in such leaders ( Jung and Avolio, 2000 ) . Researchers ( Jung and Avolio, 2000 ) added that shared vision, is, an built-in constituent of this idealised transformational function, animating credence through the alliance of ends. Principals must, hence, be good function theoretical accounts back uping best pattern ( Colley, 2002 ) . Inspirational motive Leaderships behave in ways that motivate and inspire those around them by supplying significance and challenge to their followings ‘ work ( Avolio and Bass, 2002 ) . Harmonizing to Bass ( 1998 ) , squad spirit is aroused and followings show much enthusiasm. The transformational school leader ( Barnett and McCormick, 2003 ) physiques and sustains synergistic communications with the instructors. For case, inspirational negotiations and moving in ways that encourage enthusiasm. Principals inspire instructors to see an attractive hereafter, while pass oning outlooks and showing a committedness to ends and the shared vision. Research ( Eyal and Roth, 2010 ) besides proved that transformational school leaders can excite their instructors ‘ attempts to be advanced and originative. Harmonizing to Tracey and Hinkin ( 1998 ) , such influence motivates followings to demo unity in the signifier of ethical and moral behavior. This includes values and beliefs which emphasise the school ‘s mission and encompassing high morality. Another point to be noted is that instructors want to be reasonably treated. Any prejudiced actions ( Wevers, 2000 ) against them are negatively perceived and these impact to a great extent on their motive degree. Awamleh and Gardiner ( 1999 ) believe that school leaders should avoid the abuse of power for personal additions. School leaders should be seen trusty and competent by followings ( Cheemers, 2001 ) . So, it is of import to hold ethical school leaders. Intellectual Stimulation Surveies ( Reynolds, 1976 ; Mortimore et al. , 1988 ; , Stoll and Fink, 1996 ) of Effective schools showed that, principals, considered invention to be an built-in portion of the school. They encourage instructors to oppugn bing premises and to reframe jobs. They invite the teaching staff to near old state of affairss in new ways. Intellectual stimulation ( Burns, 1978 ) , whereby school leaders encourage instructors to believe creatively is besides extremely actuating. The latter entails advancing an innovatory mentality, whereby the staff is to believe beyond conventional models to supply solutions to jobs. Apart from these, such principals strongly believe that much can be learnt by making and errors are non publically criticized. Alternatively, this helps to further squad work and, finally, this improves the problem-solving ability. It is to be mentioned that the principals act as a wise man in such instances, stressing reason. Therefore, an statement exists that transformational leading is more facilitative of educational alteration and contributes to organizational betterment, effectivity and school civilization ( Deal and Peterson, 1990 ) . Evidence from several surveies ( Leithwood and Jantzi, 1990 ; Sashkin and Sashkin, 1990 ) provides strong support for the claim that transformational leading contributes to more desirable school civilizations.
