...management of its workforce, difference approaches and frameworks have been introduced. For instance, Bolman and Deal (2008) introduced four major frames which are significant for the management of firms as it presents ways on how to understand how an organisation operates. The four frames which have been introduced include structural frame, human resource frame, political frame, and symbolic frame. In this literature review, the focus of the discussions which will be made will be the human resource frame, specifically, an understanding of how motivation and individual differences becomes essential in such context. DISCUSSION The human resource frame is commonly used in having an understanding of how organisations work basically because of the psychology and counselling components included in such. This frame places an emphasis on the subsystem of the organisation, with focus on different factors such as motivation, training, needs, hiring, commitment, and socialization of people who are working within the organisation. More importantly, the human resource frame places an emphasis on the following key points: organisations operate in lieu of being able to serve human needs and not the other way around; people and organisation mutually need each other, each will not exist in the absence of the other; there is a need to find the perfect fit between the individual and the system; the presence of a good fit between the individual and...

...In fact the whole task of psychotherapy is to deal with a failure in communication. In emotionally maladjusted people, communication within themselves has broken down, and as a result, their communication with others has been damaged. To put it another way, their unconscious, repressed, or denied desires have created distortions in the way communication with others. Thus they suffer both within themselves and in their interpersonal relationships. The goal of psychotherapy is to help an individual achieve through a special relationship with a therapist, good communication within himself or herself. Once this is achieved, that person can communicate more freely and effectively with others. So we may say the psychotherapy is good communication with and between people. We can turn that statement round and it will still be true. Good communication, or free communication, within or between people is always therapeutic. Barrier: The tendency of evaluate Carl Rogers found one main obstacle to communication: people’s tendency to evaluate. We all have natural urge to judge, evaluate, and approve/disapprove person’s statement. For instance: Suppose I say with some feeling “I think the Democrats are showing a lot of good sound sense these days”. What is your fist reaction? Most likely, it will be evaluative. You will find yourself agreeing or disagreeing, perhaps making some judgment about me such as “He must be a liberal” or He seems solid in his thinking” If you have ever been...

...in the niche sector. The enormous success from the Amouage project gave TFG’s executives the courage to expand their company, hire industry professionals, and increase the number of fragrance lines within their distribution. In the beginning of 2014 The Fragrance Group was one of the most reputable fragrance distribution houses with a total of seven exclusive fragrance lines selected mainly from France and Italy, 53 committed professionals as their employees, and a very strong balance sheet. The following report will perform an in depth analysis of the organization based on the structural, human resource, political, and symbolic frames by providing a concise definition for each frame, specific examples in the operation of the organization, and recommendation for areas that need to be strengthened or improved. Structural Frame The structural frame is defined as the organization’s structure that sets its goals, mission and objectives. Furthermore, organizations will increase efficiency through specialization, division of labor and...

...When sending a packet, compare the destination IP address of the packet to the sending host’s perception of the range of addresses in the connected subnet, based on the host’s IP address and subnet mask. If the destination is in the same subnet as the host, send the packet directly to the destination host. ARP is needed to find the destination host’s MAC address. If the destination host is not in the same subnet as the host, send the packet directly to the host’s default gateway. ARP is needed to find the default gateway’s MAC address. Routers use the following steps: the packet must first be received, whereas the sending host begins with the IP packet in memory. For each received frame, use the data-link trailer frame check sequence (FCS) field to ensure that the frame had no errors; if errors occurred, discard the frame and don’t continue to the next step. Check the frame’s destination data link layer address, and process only if addressed to this router or to a broadcast/multicast address. Discard the incoming frame’s old data-link header and trailer, leaving the IP packet. Compare the packet’s destination IP address to the routing table, and find the route that matches the destination address. This route identifies the outgoing interface of the router, and possibly the next-hop router. Determine the destination data-link address used for forwarding packets to the next router or destination host as directed in the routing table. Encapsulate the IP packet inside a new...

...Executive Summary Breakaway Bicycle Company designs and builds custom bicycle frames to the exact specifications of the finest road and mountain bike racing professionals in the world. Breakaway has earned this right because its founder and master builder, Mike Giro, hand crafts road and mountain frames that satisfy the one common specification of all competitive cyclists — it helps them to win races. Since 1990, Breakaway has designed and built bike frames for racing professionals and those biking enthusiasts who take their riding seriously and want to own the best equipment. As more and more of the population gain an interest in competitive cycling, the demand for custom built bicycles has also increased. Many individuals, particularly those interested in mountain biking, have found that there is a tremendous interest in competitive mountain biking which include grueling cross-country races and gravity-defying events such as the “in your face” downhill racing. Based on marketing projections, this interest increased following the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta where mountain bike racing made its debut as an Olympic medal event. To meet the expected demand for custom built bike frames that can handle this type of riding, as well as road racing, Breakaway is seeking the financing necessary to add new workstations and hire additional designer-builders. The cost to purchase and install the additional workstations is $60,000. The additional salary expense is projected...

...Conceptual Problems 3 • If event A occurs at a different location than event B in some reference frame, might it be possible for there to be a second reference frame in which they occur at the same location? If so, give an example. If not, explain why not. Determine the Concept Yes. Let the initial frame of reference be frame 1. In frame 1 let L be the distance between the events, let T be the time between the events, and let the +x direction be the direction of event B relative to event A. Next, calculate the value of L/T. If L/T is less than c, then consider the two events in a reference frame 2, a frame moving at speed v = L/T in the +x direction. In frame 2 both events occur at the same location. 5 • Two events are simultaneous in a frame in which they also occur at the same location. Are they simultaneous in all other reference frames? Determine the Concept Yes. If two events occur at the same time and place in one reference frame they occur at the same time and place in all reference frames. (Any pair of events that occur at the same time and at the same place in one reference frame are called a spacetime coincidence.) 11 •• Many nuclei of atoms are unstable; for example, 14C, an isotope of carbon, has a half-life of 5700 years. (By definition, the half-life is the time it takes for any given number of unstable particles to decay to half that number of particles.) This fact is used extensively for archeological and biological dating of old artifacts. Such unstable nuclei...

...Say something im giving up on you In the compelling novel, Persepolis, written by Marjane Satrapi, the protagonist, Marji has a personal relationship with God. Throughout the novel so far, God has left as well as come back to Marji as a result of certain actions on Marji’s side. After God returns to Marji on page 25 frame 8, he is not displayed in any frames for a great span of time. He takes no presence in the storyline and has no underlying significance, yet, what I find intriguing is the fact that God is again seen on page 53 frame 9, after this long absence. His sudden appearance made me ponder, why is God seen in this frame? Why did he return and what significance does that have to the storyline in that specific moment? Previously, God left Marji’s side has she began to accept the revolution and all it stood for. Marji is young and therefore has no complete understanding of what a revolution for political reform can incorporate; the hurt, the destruction and the emotional torment. Marji is still innocent. She has no background knowledge of war through experience or academic knowledge like other adults such as her parents have. Because Marji is innocent, she is also flexible. Her mind can easily be altered and tempered with. In other words, she is not yet old enough to have developed concrete opinions about such things as war which she has no first-hand experience with. However, God see all and knows all. He is aware of the things that Marji is accepting by supporting...

...Thalia Capilla July 26, 2014 POSC146: Mass Media and Public Opinion Thalia Capilla POSC 146 Justin Nelson Downfall of News Coverage In Depicting War The ideal news coverage is a mirror image of reality, thousands of Americans tune in to their local or national news channel for quality coverage and accuracy. In the 1960’s Vietnam became the first war to be televised, resulting in a large disapproval rating on the war. However, the American people saw the truth and gave their opinion. Today the media is nowhere near the ideal news coverage, being characterized as corporate, concentrated and conglomerate. News Media is a profit making enterprise owned by a few companies. So what changed? How did the media evolve into something so filtered by the government? In this Literature Review I will cover how international affairs and war coverage quality has drastically declined to fit corporate news norms. It sacrifices quality over quantity, framing the American people. News media in a democracy should provide a forum for diverse views and provide the people with the truth of what is happening around the world, (McLeod 2009). That is what I would like shed light on in this paper. News framing, agenda setting and priming are broadly examined by Scheufelel and Tewksbury (2007) to see how all three are related and what the potential relationships can infer about the effects of mass media. This is an important analysis as these three components of the subtle effects model can...

...which one does an intentional and structured process of intellectual deliberation in order to find with a specifiable domain about potential antecedents for a designated antecedent. Twin paradox is my topic of discussion in this article. It can be described as a thought experiment in unique relativity involving identical twins. One twin (A.J.Paquette, 2013) makes journey to the space and after returning home, he found that the other twin had become of age. The outcome is thus puzzling since each twins views the other to be moving. This can thus be asserted as incorrect application of principle of relativity and dilation in time. A conclusion can be made that each of the twins should have seen the other to be ageing more slowly. This scenario however, can be explained within the principle of special relativity which implies: the trajectory of travelling twins requires two different inertial frames which are one for the inwards journey and another one for the migrating journey. The twin refutation is thus not a self contradiction in the sense of logical contradiction. There has been many explanation to this paradox which was started with Paul langevin in 1911. According to his explanation, they can be classified into those that are designated by acceleration “experienced by travelling twin and the ones focusing on the effects of various simultaneity standards in different frames. The ones that designated (Jeansonne, 2006)the acceleration...

...dedicated fourteen years to his occupation, and suddenly, he is in danger of losing his job due to downsizing. All of these factors dramatically effect Lester and culminate into feelings of desperation and vulnerability for him. Lester is therefore in search of an escape and a rebirth. He is seeking the slightest possibility of happiness. Throughout the story Lester is consistently reminiscing on his past; wishing he could have it back. In the beginning portions of the story, Lester, as the narrator, states that "it is never too late to regain your past." The catalyst to this frame of thought is Jane's friend, Angela. Lester feels excited by the thought that a teen-age girl thinks he is "hot." Lester overhears Angela state that she would have sex with him if Lester would start working-out and build-up his body. This drives Lester to change himself completely. Lester, in desperate search of happiness , finds an escape in Angela. Much like a hormone-driven teenage boy, Lester thinks that if he can "score" with a "bombshell" like Angela, then he will be reborn. Lester's mission for happiness and escape is further perpetuated by his eighteen year old neighbor, Ricky. In Ricky, Lester sees his model for rebirth. Lester calls Ricky his "hero" and is in awe of Ricky's confidence. Lester, then begins a transformation back to his stereotypical understanding of what a teenager is. Lester begins to...

...How To Draft A Perfect Trading Plan This 8-step approach to planning paves the way to profitable stock trading. When it comes to trading stocks, it's not about how hard you work. It's about knowing the right things to do, and putting that knowledge to work. Making money in the stock market isn't so hard when you apply a simple skill essential to converting the power of knowledge into profits ... planning! "Plan Your Trade and Trade Your Plan" is a mantra you should print out and frame for your wall. Why? Because stock traders who carefully plan have a much better chance of making money than those who don't. In fact, the simple act of drafting a plan can significantly increase the odds that your trade will be profitable. A successful trading plan doesn't have to be complicated. Many traders draft their trading plans in a notebook or on index cards, while others use word processors and spreadsheets. Regardless of the method you choose, every trading plan must include certain components to be effective. 1. Choose Your Style Before drafting a plan of action, traders will want to decide what style of trading they prefer. A broad generalization of "buy and sell stocks" doesn't work - the criteria needs to be specific. Successful traders make money in different ways, but each has a well-defined method. On the other hand, a losing trader's plan is always vague and ambiguous. In trading, it pays to be precise, so decide what you like to do and build your plan around that style...

...cirricione@utbm.fr 1 2 Abstract. A very important problem in computer vision is the matching of features extracted from pairs of images. At this proposal, a new neural network, the Double Asynchronous Competitor (DAC) is presented. It exploits the self-organization for solving the matching as a pattern recognition problem. As a consequence, a set of attributes is required for each image feature. The network is able to find the variety of the input space. DAC exploits two intercoupled neural networks and outputs the matches together with the occlusion maps of the pair of frames taken in consideration. DAC can also solve other matching problems. 1 Introduction In computer vision, structure from motion (SFM) algorithms recover the motion and scene parameters by using a sequence of images (very often only a pair of images is needed). Several SFM techniques require the extraction of features (corners, lines and so on) from each frame. Then, it is necessary to find certain types of correspondences between images, i.e. to identify the image elements in different frames that correspond to the same element in the scene. This paper addresses this specific problem, also known as matching. The techniques for image matching can be continuous or discrete. The latter are feature-based methods (FBM) and treat the images as samples of the scene taken at discrete times. They allow accurate estimation of motion parameters and structure of the scene even under a relatively large motion, do not...
