...Steffen Jacobsen fortæller om hvordan han i forbindelsen med en bog, blev bedt om at oprette en profil på dette sociale medie, og hvad hans senere opfattelse af dette medies virkning på mennesker er. Steffen Jacobsen mening omkring Facebook var førhen at Facebook var en erstatning for det virkelige sociale liv. At nærvær, samtale og ansigt til ansigt kommunikation. Dette har han erstattet med en mening om at Facebook er ”The real thing” altså at Facebook ikke er en substitut for det virkelige liv. Men derimod er der hvor livet leves, at ting ikke er sket hvis ikke det er lagt ud som opdatering. Hyggelige billed-opdateringer fra sidste eksotiske ferier, samt statusser omkring de mindste positive ting der er sket fylder hele sitet. Selv de personer man helt objektivt ved er langt ude eller har problemer, har det overraskende godt hvis ikke perfekt på Facebook. Med dette mener Steffen Jacobsen at Facebook giver os selv, og ikke mindst andre, en illusion om at altid have det godt. En illusion om at være med, at vi er gavmilde sociale væsner som bare kan det uforpligtende samvær. Steffen Jacobsen hverken beklager eller ser ned på fænomenet, eller ønsker den gamle nærhed tilbage. Han mener at fænomenet måske bare er en reaktion på den ur-gamle skræk at mange oplevelser flyver forbi os uden vi er en del af dem. Facebook bliver en uadskillelig del af vores selvopfattelse, mediet bliver måske endda så afhængighedsskabende at livet udenfor føles mærkeligt. Steffen Jacobsen mener også...

... Paid-in capital, which is also referred to as contributed capital is listed under stockholder’s equity in the balance sheet. It is the amount of capital that has been paid in during common or preferred stocks issuances by investors (Paid in Capital, n.d.). Important factors to note is that paid in capital does not come from operations but only from investors (Paid in Capital, n.d.). Keeping paid-in capital separate from earned capital is also important. Earned capital is money that a company receives as a result of profitable operations (Jacobsen & Wachterhauser, n.d.). Paid-in capital comes from the sale of capital stock (Jacobsen & Wachterhauser, n.d.). These two sources have to be kept separate because they come from two different sources of funding. Paid-in capital are new funds that purpose is to help increase earned capital. Earned capital is the profits an organization has from the results of their operations (Jacobsen & Wachterhauser, n.d.). Having these two combined will give an incorrect picture of earning potential from...

...1 in 50,000 and 1 in 150,000 people in the world have it. Jacobsen syndrome is caused by a loss of genetic material in chromosome 11. This occurs as an entirely random error in cell division in most cases. This normally occurs during the formation of reproductive cells or early on during fetal development. Also Jacobsen syndrome is also associated with autism. It can result in a number of serious health complications . One of the initial symptoms parents may notice is abnormally slow growth, both in the womb and after birth. Many people with Jacobsen syndrome will be shorter than average at their adult height. They may also have macrocephaly, or a larger-than-average head size. Trigonocephaly is another common symptom. This gives the forehead a pointed look. Many people with Jacobsen syndrome will have cognitive impairment. This can translate to delayed development, including the development of both speech and motor skills. Some infants will have difficulty feeding. Many will also have learning disabilities, which may be severe.Behavioral problems are also symptoms associated with Jacobsen syndrome. These can be related to compulsive behavior, easy distractibility, and a short attention span. Many patients have both Jacobsen syndrome and ADHD. Diagnosing Jacobsen syndrome can be difficult in some cases. This is because it is both a genetic condition and a rare one. Genetic testing is necessary to confirm a Jacobsen syndrome diagnosis.During genetic testing, magnified chromosomes...

...Kameron’s mother Wanda stated that her son was not only bullied by classmates but by people he considered to be friends. The story airing on CBS was filmed nine months after his suicide but was not aired until September following the suicide of Kevin Jacobsen, Kameron’s father. After a video segment showing Kameron and interview clips his parent appeared in studio to discuss what steps they were taking to help other families dealing with bullies. Together his parents created Kindness Above Malice Foundation (KAM) it serves as both a tribute and legacy for their son to remind people to defend those without a voice (Jacobson, n.d.). Kevin pointed out that bullying has now become a twenty-four hour a day, seven days a week problem that is similar to a sport (Parents speak out on bullying after son's death - CBS News, 2012). Towards the end of the interview one anchor asked, “Did you have any idea of the effect it was having on him (Kameron)?” To which Kevin Jacobsen replied that Kameron had a two and a half year history with being bullied and that schools can no longer take the “one size fits all” approach. Mr. Jacobsen also stated that the most important lesson he can offer is that what happened to his family can happen to us all (Parents speak out on bullying after son's death - CBS News,...

...treatment, management, and prevention of diseases using medical and health care professionals. Jacobsen (2012) cites that health care sector offers variety of exiting careers which health professionals can pursue including; health management, medical equipment sales, research, and discovery as well as clinic and chronic care centers management. All these areas have their specific importance in ensuring quality health delivery to people who seek medical services. One of the most interesting areas of health care for me is the medical research. Health or medical research is a systematic way of evaluating human infections and learning more about human health with the aim of discovering the human health disorders and inventing strategies for the preventing and treating human diseases (Jacobsen, 2012). It also involves the evaluation of safety and effectiveness of particular treatment procedures, validation of a course of treatment and collection of data that will allow future analysis of the study. History of Health Research and the Future Although health research dates back to early 14th century, active scientific approach to health care challenges started with studies about the antibiotics after the Second World War. The discovery of penicillin and vaccines like polio and measles opened studies for several drug and disease which later led to eradication of certain communicable diseases (Jacobsen, 2012). The research has enabled development of over 1,000 drugs which are approved by Food...

...Everyday life can be a difficult and amorphous concept to grapple with. This essay will consider the various aspects of Scott's definition of what "Everyday life" is and to what extent I agree with it. In its most simplistic and stripped down form, Scott's suggests that it's a study of 'people doing little things in local places' or more succinctly 'the wider picture' (Scott, 2009, p1). Everyday life can also be viewed as a person seeking solace in the familiarity of repetitive and rhythmic routines (Scott, 2009). Scott's final assertion is that everyday life exists in the realm of a person's individual and private choices, which have a bearing on that person's patterns of behaviour (Scott, 2009). Scott specifically touches on seven ways in which a person engages in everyday life in a small and local way; emotions can be viewed as a relationship between self and society, Scott makes a correlation between home and familiarity or a place to derive comfort and privacy, time is a rhythmic and cyclic repetition of experiences, eating a ritualised and rule-governed social practice, health issues which delve into social processes and stigmatization, shopping is seen as vacuous and trivial with sexist overtones and leisure in its most simplistic form is escapism from the everyday (Scott, 2009). In comparison Moran supports this view with his work on "quotidian spaces" and break's everyday life down slightly differently into categories of; work spaces, living spaces, getting around...

...problemer den moderne litteratur sætter under debat i Europa. Her tager litteraturen stilling til forholdet mellem de to køn, ejendomsforholdene, religionen og samfundet. Forelæsningerne bliver signalet til et litterært opbrud, en litterær revolution. Rygtet om den unge mand, der har sat København på den anden ende, når hele Skandinavien rundt. I løbet af få år bliver København centrum for den moderne nordiske litteratur. De senere verdenskendte svenske og norske forfattere: August Strindberg, Henrik Ibsen og Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson valfarter hertil. Herved kommer Brandes forelæsninger til at ændre den skandinaviske litteratur radikalt. I løbet af få år er resultatet synligt. Vi får en række forfattere, der i dag regnes blandt vore bedste: J. P. Jacobsen, Herman Bang og Henrik Pontoppidan. I rækken bag dem står nogle kendte, men mindre betydningsfulde forfattere som Holger Drachmann, Sophus Schandorph og Erik Skram. Endelig får vi det første gennembrud for en hel generation af kvindelige forfattere. De skriver alle om kønslivet, religionen og samfundet, men deres udtryk er individuelt, de bruger deres...

...(Wilmore par 3). In the summer of 2009, Pakistan's military claimed that they drove the group out of the area, but the Taliban are still attacking people there, especially those who support girls' education like Malala (Wilmore par 15). Under Islamic or religious law, all people, including women, should be granted educational rights and freedom in, not only Pakistan, but other parts of the world as well.To begin with, in Pakistan, it is hard for females to receive education because of the Taliban's strict religious laws and attacks (Wilmore par 6). In 2007, the Taliban arrived in Swat Valley, Pakistan, banning music and dancing (Jacobsen par 13), and they also banned women from activities like shopping (Wilmore par 6). The new laws made it uncomfortable for women to go out alone in public because many of their activities were restricted or banned (Jacobsen par 13). To make sure that citizens would not go against them, the Taliban forced them to accept the laws with the use of brutal punishments such as public whippings, bombings, and beheadings (Wilmore par 5). Then the Taliban started destroying schools with bombs, killing students, teachers, and passerby in the process, and they also targeted people who promoted education for females (Wilmore par 6). For example, in March 2013, a 41-year-old teacher was gunned down 200 meters from her all-girls school near the Pakistan-Afghan border, and grenades were thrown into a school that educated girls, injuring a teacher and four students...

...Anna Palle 3.a Analyse af selvvalgt værk 20-09-2007 Mogens Novellen ”Mogens”, der skrevet i starten af det moderne gennembrud (1870-1890) af J.P. Jacobsen, er et lysende eksempel på datidens impressionisme. Den indeholder, stort set, alle aspekter inden for det moderne gennembrud og naturalismen. Historien handler om idealisten Mogens, der i starten af bogen lever i et med naturen, drevet af sine lyster, i en drøm om kærlighed. Han lever i lykkelig uvidenhed, i troen på naturen og drifterne, men da han forelsker sig hovedkulds i Justitsrådens yndige datter, Kamilla, der omkommer i en tragisk ulykke, konfronteres Mogens med den virkelig verden. En verden der koldt og brutalt maner den idealistiske tankegang til jorden. Mogens er på sammenbruddets rand og beslutter sig for aldrig igen at lade sig forføre af den løgn kaldet kærlighed. Han lever en kynisk livsstil, uden nogen form for følelsesmæssig engagement. Dette ændres dog, da han møder den sårbare og naive Thora, der vækker tunge, men lykkelige erindringer til live i ham. Mogens og Thora gifter sig, men selv som gift mand har Mogens svært ved at slippe lidenskaben løs. Han er bange for at ødelægge en kærlighed så guddommelig, ren og ædel, med jordiske drifter og fantasier og Thora lever i længsel og frustration over afstanden mellem hende og hendes elskede. Historien ender dog lykkeligt med at Mogens atter giver efter for sine drifter og atter bliver ét med den natur, han elsker så højt. Starten af Novellen er ren synæstesi...

...of the CIA (Jacobsen xi-3). The majority of employees travel to Area 51 on unmarked aircraft from Las Vegas (Strickland). The U.S. government has never officially admitted to the existence of Area 51 (Jacobsen xi-3). This fuels the Alien controversies surrounding Area 51; theorists believe the government has aliens and alien aircraft on site (Strickland). Have aliens visited Earth? It is possible but unlikely that aliens are at Area 51. The majority of conspiracy theorists believe aliens crashed at Roswell, New Mexico, on July 2, 1947 (Soodin). The UFO wreckage and three aliens were retrieved by the US military and sent to Area 51 for research. Lieutenant Walter Haut, a public relations officer at Roswell Army Air Field, claims to have seen the UFO and the alien bodies (“Roswell Theory”). He describes the aliens as having enormous heads and being approximately three and half feet tall. General William Blanchard wrote an official statement saying the Army had recovered UFO remains on the 8th of July, 1947 (Strickland). According to Haut there was a second crash site where more wreckage was recovered. This is why the U.S Army gave the first statement to take the attention away from the more significant site (“Roswell Theory”). According to a former employee at Area 51 the U.S. government is using and studying alien technology (Strickland). In 1989 Robert Lazar became the first person to come forward and openly talk about what was happening at Area 51 (Jacobsen 13). George Knapp...

...person needs daily also must be safe and sanitary, free from bacteria, viruses and parasites which can cause infectious diseases and diarrhea. The worldwide water access shows that a minimum of 13 gallons of water per person per day is recommended for healthy living. The average American for example uses about 100 gallons daily for domestic purposes (Jacobsen, 168). The big problem being is that 1 in 7 people worldwide are in the no access category. This means that they have possibly less than 5 liters per day, water proximity is more than 30 minutes round trip, quality or quantity of water is ensured and the level of health concern of these only available sources are very high. Water scarcity is a major concern for in many parts of the world including parts of the U.S. The demand for freshwater resources is increasing, yet only 2.5% of the world’s water is freshwater rather than saltwater. “About 70% of freshwater used every year is put toward agricultural uses such as irrigation and livestock production and there are increasing demands for agricultural, industrial, and domestic water use as the world population grows” (Jacobsen, 171). The other question that comes into play is that yes, everyone deserves access to water as a human right because it is a human need but how much because it does not mean that everyone is entitled to an unlimited supply of free clean water. It all comes at a cost. This is where is becomes difficult, especially for underdeveloped countries who...

...The Carlsberg Group is a Danish brewing company it was founded in 1847 by Jacob Christian Jacobsen mostly known as J.C. Jacobsen. He established his first brewery on a hill outside of Copenhagen. J.C. Jacobsen then, decides to name the brewery after his son Carl and on the bjerg (hill) on which the brewery was built on. Due this innovation, Carlsberg played such a big part of Copenhagen’s history. In 1868, Carlsberg began exporting to other neighboring countries in Eastern Europe. The first barrel of Carlsberg was exported to a grocer in Edinburgh, Scotland. Within that year, the lager became very popular in Scotland and other countries such as India, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Jumping forward a hundreds years, in 1970 Carlsberg and another renowned Danish brewer merge together called Tuborg. Together the breweries developed their business with exporting, licensing agreements, and breweries outside of Denmark. To further their growing export Carlsberg and Tuborg combined under one name becoming the United Brewery’s. This combination has enabled their unique lager for global export as well as continental styles for both domestic and foreign markets. During that profitable time, one of the most important markets to the United Breweries was Great Britain. The United Brewery’s two main brands were at one’s disposal in essentially every European country. Moving into the 1990’s, export sales were declining both on Eastern and Western Europe, yet Carlsberg achieved modest but still...

...Describe the organizational buyers and consumers of your product or service and the factors that influence their purchasing decisions. The organizational buyers of the Diabetic medication Glustasis are pharmacies, and hospitals. Organizational buyers are also group purchasing organizations, ”The hospitals and local pharmacies can join the group purchasing organization to get a better price on purchasing large volumes of drug products.”(Jacobsen &Wertheimer 2010) Another organizational buyer is “wholesalers who purchase medication to be kept at their distribution centers and sold to members of a group purchasing organization.” (Jacobsen & Wertheimer 2010) The Government is also an organizational buyer. The end use buyers or consumers would be the patients or parents of children who are diabetic. There are many factors that influence the purchasing decision of both the organizational buyer and the end use buyer or the consumer. The first factor that influences the buyer is that of price. How much will this medication cost and how many do they get for that price. In dealing with hospitals, the military and local pharmacy is that of inventory. These organizational buyers need to know the length of time it takes for orders to be delivered. The Military with troops across the world need to have medications that the men and women of the armed forces need with them not back at the pharmaceutical company. In some hospitals and the military clinics and hospitals these organizations...

Among those situational examples which include embezzlement of funds by an accountant from their employers for financial gain also include accountants receiving corporate pressure from their client to report false information and having unrealistic objectives and deadlines. “An accountant may decide to work for a company even though a conflict of interest may exist. If the accountant is owed money or has a significant stake in a firm, he or she may not be the ideal individual to prepare certain companies' financial statements.” (Jacobsen, 2008, para. 10). The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is legislation enacted for the protection from the unethical behaviors. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act puts rules in place to hold executives accountable for the accuracy of their organization’s financial statements. The rules that are put in place achieve harsher punishments and criminal penalties for non-compliance. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act does its best to ensure financial statements be...
