...Throughout history, there have been many different approaches of management theory. These theories exist because they are no longer relevant in today's environment, but a number of theories have been implemented as scientific management and human relations. Classical management emphasizes productivity by promoting efficient employees with bonuses. Human Relations emphasis on the motivation of the employees of both financial rewards and a variety of social factors , such as praise , a sense of belonging , and a sense of accomplishment . Scientific management uses incentives to encourage workers. This idea comes from Henry Gantt who introduced a bonus system, where workers have an incentive to complete their daily tasks by rewarding them with bonuses. Scientific management assumes employees as a “Rational Economic Man” are motivated by nothing else but money. Employees are paid more on the level of output, bonuses to achieve goals. Nevertheless, Human relations approaches, which are also focused on the welfare of workers, look after, and health needs will increase productivity, as Mayo said. Importantly, it means that workers are generally happier, thus enhancing their work productivity, as demonstrated in the Hawthorne studies .Therefore, this essay will compare and contrast the “Scientific management” and “Human Relations” approaches. During the term of the management classic, it is called a formal management science. The classical theory has focused on a decentralized management...

...The Man without a Memory PSYCH/575 October 31, 2011 Dr. B The Man without a Memory Relationship between Learning Something and Remembering it Learning is when we are able to attain a particular skill or piece of knowledge, and remembering takes place when you are able to utilize that knowledge or skill right away without having to go through the monotonous process of learning it (Carlson, 2010). Once the skill is learned it is stored in short-term memory and then once it is practiced often it is stored into long-term memory available for retrieval and instant application (Carlson, 2010). For example, in order to learn how to ride a bike you constantly practice being able to steady yourself while pushing the peddles in order to move forward. By the time you learn how to ride the bike you have practiced the skill so much that it is imprinted in your long term memory. Region of Brain Damaged The area of the brain that was damaged is the hippocampus; this was due to the total amnesia that was a result from his illness. The hippocampus is the region of the brain that relocates memories from the short-term memory to the long-term memory. “Wearing is not capable of forming new memories because his memory only last between 7 and 30 seconds” (MedLibrary, 2002, p. 1). Loss of Memory for Things Wearing only has moment –to-moment consciousness because he has not only retrograde amnesia but also anterograde amnesia, Wearing can still remember how to play the piano and conduct...

...Memory Destruction For those that suffer from memory loss, everyday life can be difficult. The onset of memory loss may come on suddenly or be more gradual. It can be permanent or temporary, depending on the cause. Memory loss is also referred to as amnesia. Memory loss is defined as the inability to recall past events. Short-term memory loss is the inability to recall events that occurred recently. Long-term memory loss is the inability to recall events that happened in the distant past. Also there are effects of memory loss after a stroke may include: Alzheimer's disease, and amnesia First, The memory loss associated with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) may have multiple cognitive components. Working memory appears to be impaired due to failures of a Central Executive System. Secondary Memory, on the other hand, is affected due to poor encoding or meditational processes. An analysis of the performance of 71 AD patients on tests related to these neuropsychological constructs revealed that they could indeed be dissociated. In fact, individual patients were identified with significantly different, and unique, patterns of impairment which were consistent with the two-component model. These data, therefore, lend preliminary support for the notion of multiple cognitive impairments being responsible for the memory loss in AD Second, ECT is a common cause of severe retrograde amnesia, doe example, destruction of memories of events prior to an injury. The potency of...

...Maydeli Medrano Dr. Price Psychology 2301-83421 2 February 2013 50 First Dates Film Review The film I decided to watch was 50 First Dates (2004) starring Adam Sandler as Henry Roth, Drew Barrymore as Lucy Whitmore, Rob Schneider as Ula, Sean Astin as Doug Whitmore, Blake Clark as Marlin Whitmore, and Amy Hill as Sue (IMDb). I decided to choose this film because as I read what it was about in some websites I saw that it was both a romance and comedy film, and romance movies . I also noticed that Adam Sandler was in this film, and since I have seen a couple of his movies, I know they are hilarious. I actually ended up liking this movie a lot. The film is about Henry Roth, a veterinarian in a water park located in Hawaii. He dates many tourist girls for one night only because he is afraid that if he gets involved in a serious relationship with a local girl, this might stop him from going to Alaska to study walruses (something he dreams about doing). One day as he sails on his ship, “The Sea Serpent”, it broke down and went to a nearby café located of the coast and a woman caught his eye. He did not go up to her because he assumed it was a local woman. The next day, he went to the café again and saw her there again, but this time he decides to go up to the woman. The woman’s name is Lucy. They get along very well and there is an instant connection between them. They agree to meet at the café the next day for breakfast. Henry goes to the café as they agreed and after Lucy...

...Final Paper The Effects of Retroactive Interference on Amnesia Patients Abstract New memories are fragile and vulnerable to interference. Patients who suffer from amnesia can often experience what is referred to as retrograde interference, which is the forgetting of newly learned information due to subsequent interference of additional material given to the subjects. This paper reflects on published articles regarding research about the effects of retroactive interference on the learning and memory retention ability of patients suffering from amnesia. Although research in this topic has not been able to fully answer the mystery that lies beyond the memory storage in the brain, many experiments have been conducted regarding this ailment. Articles on this topic vary in experimentation, yet they all show that interference subsequent to the learning of new information impairs memory consolidation substantially. This idea of retroactive interference dates back to the 1900s and new ideas and theories have been built upon it since. The findings in these articles strongly indicate that patients with anterograde amnesia are better able to form new long-term memory traces than previously presumed. Future research on this topic would lead to a greater variety of discoveries and establish newer memory training methods. The Effects of Retroactive Interference on Amnesia Patients Anterograde amnesia is a severe impairment of memory that hinders the ability to build new memories...

...of the “Quinquereme of Ninevah.” The author evokes the senses using multiple kinds of imagery in each stanza of the poem. The poem encompasses the past and the future of the changing ships and cargoes throughout various periods of history. John Masefield was born in 1878 in Ledbury, England. He married his wife, Constance, at the age of 23 and had two children, a boy and a girl. He suffered tragedies early in his life such as his mother’s death when he was 6, both of his grandparents’ deaths at the age of 7, and his father having a mental breakdown five years later and then dying when John was 12 years old. His Aunt and Uncle took on the responsibility of raising him and at the age of 13, his Aunt sent him to the sea-cadet ship the HMS Conway to train for a life at sea. It was aboard this ship that he developed a love for story telling. Sea life did not suit John and on his second voyage he deserted his ship in New York City and began to travel the countryside, taking whatever odd jobs he could find, often sleeping outdoors and eating very little. After 3 years, he was ready to return to England. John became a very big admirer of William Butler Yeats and after many letters to him, Mr. Yeats became John’s friend and mentor. This brought John into the inner circle of Mr. Yeats’ poet friends and publishers. Subsequently, John went on to have many of his works published that were met with praise and positive criticism. In 1930, he became the Official Poet Laureate until...

...December 21, 1872 England, This clear water is a pleasant surprise, but the cold is painful. This ship is the most highly equipped ship i've ever sailed in. I can say this is vastly impressive for this age, and I can only imagine what the future will be like. I have to say my favorite feature on this ship is the Natural History Laboratory. Its where specimens were examined, and drawn. I can only say this will mark history with our recorded discoveries. December 22, 1872 Unknown destination, somewhere outside of England. The sun is finally out and temperatures have risen! The sun makes this day off a hundred times better.The shipmates decided to round together for a good ole game of cards! I haven't played for so long, and i lost all my snacks we keep as game. We sat for a meal and had chicken. We picked it up when we docked somewhere and we cooked it. Sadly it was nothing special and it was just chicken and rice. Days like this make this voyage much less lonelier. Spirits are high and tomorrow continues to lurk closer. December 24, 1872 Unknown Destination, somewhere outside of England. Its raining! The ship is starting to take a toll and the waves are rocking us around! Today is chaotic and a lot of hassle. But i fear for my life. I think i have came down with scurvy. They tell me to toughen up but i have hardly any strength. Being on a ship does not allow any medical help until we dock, and even then we hardly have any money. Research is slow right now but they're...

Case 2 uses H1 = 2m, H2 = 7m, H3 = 5m, and H4 = 4m. Soil below Layer 4 is considered as a rigid stratum which can control failure mechanism. Case 1 Layer 1: c’ = 3kPa, φ’ = 38°, and γ = 19kN/m3 (γsat = 20.3kN/m3) Layer 2 : cu = 25kPa, c’ = 8kPa, φ’ = 25°, OCR = 2, Cc = 0.8, Cs = 0.16, e = 1.1 and γ = 15kN/m3 (γsat = 16kN/m3) Layer 3: c’ = 0kPa, φ’ = 38°, and γ = 18kN/m3 (γsat = 19.1kN/m3) Layer 4 : cu = 40kPa, φ’ = 28°, OCR = 1, Cc = 0.5, e = 0.9 and γ = 16kN/m3 (γsat = 17kN/m3) Case 2 Layer 1 : cu = 30kPa, c’ = 15kPa, φ’ = 23°, OCR = 3.0, Cc = 0.8, Cs = 0.16, e = 1.1 and γ = 15kN/m3 (γsat = 16.5kN/m3) Layer 2: c’ = 1kPa, φ’ = 35°, and γ = 19kN/m3 (γsat = 20.8kN/m3) Layer 3 : cu = 35kPa, c’ = 5kPa, φ’ = 28°, OCR = 1.5, Cc = 0.5, e = 0.9 and γ = 16kN/m3 (γsat = 17.3kN/m3) Layer 4: c’ = 0kPa, φ’ = 35°, and γ = 18kN/m3 (γsat = 19.1kN/m3) Design the cut slopes for 12m height (Case 1) and for 7m height (Case 2), based on F = 1.3 (short-term), F = 1.5 (long-term) and F = 1.15 (seismic). There are only three options that can be used to increase F for the slope. They are, 1) reduce the slope angle; 2) reduce the slope height; and 3) dewater. The optimum design is the slope cut as less as possible. The water table change will induce the consolidation. The maximum vertical displacement due to dewatering on the slope crest must be...

...Silent Dancing – Judith Ortiz Cofer When Cofer says that they were one of the firsts to have a TV in El Building she now realizes that it was because of her father’s decently paying job that they had some finer things than their neighbors did. When her father explains that they should keep to themselves I was confused and then realized that it was so they would not become attached because he had plans for a better place. We all do this at some point. This is my senior year at Central and even though I allowed myself to get close to my roommates I have already started to distance myself by being progressively less present in our pod and in our room. It is easier to say goodbye to something that you do not feel attached to. I feel that by the time I have to say goodbye to my roommates distancing myself will make it less of a ‘change.’ If I start the process now it will hopefully not feel like such a big change. Cofer’s reference to the silent homemade film draws me in when she describes her own experience. “It is both comical and sad to watch silent dancing.” (77) I do this as well; all I could think about is watching some of my own home videos and seeing the facial expressions and the body language of everyone. It is comical. In one of my own videos all four of my siblings and I are going off to school. We were all smiling and in good spirits. When we came back everyone was in a pissed off mood and shoving each other. It is very comical to watch it especially to see the changes...
