One of the developments include different kinds of application such as, shoe polish. A Shoe polish is a waxy paste, cream, or liquid us to polish, shine and waterproof leather shoes to extend the footwear’s life and restore, maintain and improve their appearance. Shoe polish helps the material (especially seen in leather) that shoes are made of. It contains fats, lipids and wax. The lipids make the leather smooth and soft, while the wax protects it form dirt and moisture. It also gives a beautiful sheen. Procedure or methods on applying a shoe polish are to use a rag, cloth, or brush. Shoe shiner is not a cleaning product, and therefore the footwear should be both clean and dry before application.

...Chapter 1 Background of the study Skin problem, such as rash, is an abnormal condition of the skin caused mainly by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogene. “Skin problem” is often used to refer to any condition that causes pain, skin discoloration, itchiness, and skin irritation. The skin’s health has always been one of the main concerns for mankind since the beginning of time. Through time, people learned some uses of the Averrhoa bilimbi trees or simply the “Kamias” trees as what the tree is commonly called in the Philippines, such as treatment for rheumatism and using its fruits as food and in making sweets and pickles. The fruit can also be used for removing stains from clothes according to elders. “Kamias” fruit indeed has a lot of uses, but man should not overlook the Bilimbi trees’ leaves’ usefulness. Antibacterial agents are much needed in terminating and preventing bacterial growth especially during rainy season wherein the atmosphere is moist and humid which makes bacteria more active. Streptococcus pyogene, a Gram-positive type of bacteria that causes streptococcal pharyngitis, skin infections, scarlet fever and many other kinds of diseases, should be taken seriously. Many people carry the bacteria without incident and have already claimed a lot of lives. Past studies state that the aqueous extract of the leaves and fruits showed antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. According to earlier researches, the antibacterial activity...

ATIEH (*) Associate Professor of Accounting Department of Accounting and Management Information Systems College of Industrial Management King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals Dhahran, Saudi Arabia ABSTRACT. Students at KFUPM in Saudi Arabia were surveyed to determine what they consider to be the major obstacles to successfully completing the two required courses in Principles of Accounting. The students were categorized as either accounting majors or non-accounting majors and were offered 26 potential obstacles plus one open-ended question. The study showed that the most significant obstacle was the negative attitude of students towards accounting as a difficult subject. Differences in responses of the two student groups occurred for only three of the listed obstacles, none of which were considered significant by either group. There was no correlation between the GPAs of the respondents and their views on the 26 obstacles. A comparison of the findings of this study and those of previous research is also discussed. All students in the College of Industrial Management (CIM) at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Saudi Arabia are required to take two courses in Principles of Accounting. The courses are designated as Acct 201 and Acct 202 and they...

...Background of Study Jade Birkley PSY480/Senior Project February 14, 2013 Professor Eric Durbrow Background of the Study In a given year 2 million Americans and 25 million people worldwide suffer from one of the top ten most debilitating diseases. Schizophrenia is a long-term major mental disorder that affects several aspects of behavior, thinking, and emotion, which makes it difficult to tell between what is real and unreal; it is also characterized by positive and negative symptoms. Either being acute with a rapid beginning and good hopes of resurgence or a chronic longer term course that builds over time. Such variation in symptoms leads to observations of discord in patients. “According to the DSM-IV, schizophrenia is a disorder characterized by deteriorating ability to function in everyday life and by some combination of hallucinations, delusions, thought disorder, movement disorder, and inappropriate emotional expressions” (Kalat, 2009, p. 449). The positive symptoms fall into two cluster (psychotic and disorganized) and represent behaviors that are distorted version of normal functions. Psychotic symptoms consist of delusions (unsubstantiated beliefs) and hallucinations (hearing voices, seeing things others do not or feeling things that are not there). Disorganized symptoms “consist of inappropriate emotional displays, bizarre behaviors, incoherent speech, and thought disorder” (Kalat, 2009, p. 449). The negative symptoms represent behaviors deficiency or absence...

...INTRODUCTION Background of Study Prostitution is the performance of sexual acts for payment. It exists throughout the world, largely in urban areas. Some prostitutes work for themselves. Others work for men known as pimps or for woman called madams. Some prostitutes seek customers on streets and in other public places and this happen especially in developing countries where poverty is the main reason. (Shedlin, Michele G, World Book p.15, 2007) The idea of sex workers fighting for their human rights is a foreign concept to most people, even those who identify politically as progressives or feminists. Sex workers have lived on the margins of society through most of human history, and despite the prevalence of this work all over the world, sex workers are often treated as less than human, both in cultural attitudes and public policy. In fact, it cannot be said enough: sex workers are people—friends, neighbors, family members, wage earners, and parents—and they deserve the same human rights as everyone else. (http://www.ontheissuesmagazine.com/july08/july2008_1.php) Feminists and advocates of all stripes have argued that they want to work for the human rights of sex workers, often without an analysis of what human rights for sex workers might look like. While many people would agree that access to human rights includes the right to be free from harm, to have access to health care and housing, and to seek safe employment that pays a living wage, there is fierce...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study “When any society says that I cannot marry a certain person, that society has cut off a segment of my freedom.” -Martin Luther King Jr. They say ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, well, ‘marriage is in the psyche of the being’. There is no cut-and-dry definition of marriage but marriage-between-the-opposite-sex is the norm in most societies, the reason why same-sex marriage is not accepted in almost all countries in the world. Same-sex marriage is defined as a union between two people who are of the same gender or biological sex. Same-sex couples want to marry for all the same reasons as their opposite-sex counterparts. These reasons include: to publicly celebrate their commitment, because they are in love, and/or for the legal security and benefits of marriage. Married partners have immediate access to all relationship entitlements, protections and responsibilities. A marriage certificate also allows married partners to easily prove their legal rights if challenged, for example in emergency situations. The capacity to quickly and easily prove one’s relationship status is particularly important for same-sex partners because prejudice against same-sex relationships can mean legal rights are denied. Another practical benefit of marriage is that it is a widely recognized legal relationship. The pro legalization of same-sex marriage wants to promote equal rights and to prevent discrimination against the gays,...

...Case Study Analysis - Prepared for ABC, Inc. Laurie Cavagnaro University of Phoenix: COMM 215 February 17, 2014 Case Study Analysis for ABC, Inc. Introduction The following is a case study analysis of the orientation and hiring processes at ABC, Inc. The new campus recruiter for ABC, Inc., Carl Robbins, was unable to plan, organize, and execute the employee orientation necessary for the 15 new trainees that were to begin working for Monica Carolls in July. Some of the problems that arose for Carl were due to poor communication and lack of attention to detail. There was also poor management skills involved. It is possible that Carl Robbins does not have the qualifications or skills that are required to be employed as a campus recruiter for ABC, Inc., or it is also possible that ABC, Inc., did not provide Carl with the proper training during his orientation. There also seems to be a lack of guidance and support for new hires that may be needed during the first few months of employment. Improvements need to be made to the orientation and training programs for all new employees at ABC, Inc. Background ABC, Inc. recently hired Carl Robbins as a new campus recruiter. Carl has been with the company for about six months. His first task as a campus recruiter was to hire 15 new trainees to work for Monica Carrolls, the operations supervisor. Monica was hoping to have all of the new hires working by July. The orientation was scheduled to take place on June...

... The Effects of Classical and Contemporary Music on Reading Comprehension of College Students Music is more pervasive now than at any other point in history, functioning not only as a pleasurable art form, but also serving many important psychological functions (MacDonald, Hargreaves and Miell, 2002) and influencing cognitive functioning (Rauscher, Shaw, and Ky 1993) Music and Reading Comprehension Etaugh and Ptasnik (1982) found that individuals who rarely studied with background music showed better comprehension when they learned in silence, while those who frequently studied with music performed better in the presence of music. Hall (1952), exploring the possible uses of music in schools, found that performance on reading comprehension tests was significantly improved when background music was playing; 58% of the 245 8th and 9th graders taking part in the study, showed an increase in scores a reading test. Physiological Aspect on Music and Memory Numerous previous studies have tested to determine if the above conditions do in fact play an integral role in being a catalyst or antagonist to understanding complex literature. First the topic will be addressed from a biological perspective: processing in one hemisphere of the brain results in reduced processing in the other hemisphere in the brain (Kinsbourne, 1974 as cited in Miller and Schyb, 1989). It has been found that musical processing occurs in both the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Music...
