...decided to complete my research/assignment on Early Childhood: Ages 3 to 6 years of age. I choose this topic because this is the age group that I would like to work with once I obtain my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a minor in Child Development, and I also find children in this age group to be very interesting especially on the way they view life around them and how independent they become. The Stages of Development: Cognitive Development: Language begins to develop rapidly, also children begin to use language as their communication tool and their vocabulary increases tremendously. Physical Development: Each skill that the child already has is practiced and becomes perfected. Therefore at this stage the child applies and develops mastery motor skills in challenging situations they are faced with. Social Development: At this age and in this stage the child will begin to learn the concept of right from wrong. Also at this stage he or she begins to imitate what he or she sees an individual do, whether a family member or friend at school. Children at this stage and age also begin to interact with their peers. Theories: Erickson’s Psychosocial Theory of Development: “highlights the child’s composite need to initiate adaptive modes of functioning while meeting the variety of demands framed by the society in which she lives” (Bukatko, 2008, pg. 26). o Initiative vs. Guilt: which is the third crisis, shows that a child should develop a sense of purpose by planning...

The pendulum of change: organisations will be at various stages, but desire to be on the OD side Organisational Focus vs. Organisational Transformational Focus OD – planned, long term, internal focus (strengthening the company for the future) (evolutionary) OT – unplanned, short term, reactive, external focus (revolutionary) Planned vs. Unplanned Planned change: an organisation’s ability to anticipate and respond to change (implementing new technologies) Unplanned change: organisations have limited time to respond and anticipate change (emerges as a response to unanticipated threat or event) Evolutionary vs. Revolutionary Evolutionary change: Slow, incremental but stable, change individual parts or departments, improve existing products Revolutionary: Fast, massive and establishes new equilibrium, transform entire organisation, new structure/management, introduce new products (Apple created a new smart phone in response to NOKIA, due to Steve Jobs). 1st order and 2nd order change First Order: incremental/episodic, adjustment in systems, changes maintains & develops Second Order: discontinuous, transformational, radical change that fundamentally alters the organisation (Revolutionary) Type of Organisational Change 1.

...A Software Quality Assurance and Management System Er.Ashish Kumar Tripathi, Er. Sachin Kumar Dhar Dwivedi, Mr. Saurabh Upadhyay Abstract- Software quality objectives covers a variety of techniques and measurements, including gathering code metrics, enforcing coding rules, and proving the absence of run-time errors. The guide also takes into account the origin of the code, its stage in the software life cycle, and the safety aspects of the application. The guide explains how to gradually adapt the code verification process to achieve targeted quality objectives Index Terms- Application and System S/W, System efficiency, testing and good designing tools. -------------------------------------------------------- 1-Introduction Quality assurance for automotive systems can require different types of verification activities throughout the development process. Early verification focuses on evaluating intermediate software builds and removing defects at coding time. This represents an emerging trend because performing verification early in the process can improve overall quality and reduce development time. Post-production verification focuses on evaluating final build quality or finding defect root causes after the product is complete. This is the most common approach to automotive system verification. 3-About Software ProductsSoftware products may be • Custom - developed for a particular customer, according to its specifications Generic (“package”) - developed for...

...NATURE OF TRAINING AND DEVLOPMENT In simple terms, training and development refers to the imparting of specific skills, abilities and knowledge to an employee. More clearly, training and development may be understood as any attempt to improve current or future employee performance by increasing an employee’s ability to perform through learning. Usually by changing the employee’s attitude or increasing his or her skills and knowledge. The need for training and development is determined by the employee’s performance deficiency, computed as follow: Training and development = standard performance –actual performance. Difference between training, development & education We can make a distinction among training, education and development. Such distinction enables us to acquire a better perspective about the meaning of the terms. Training, as was stated earlier, refers to the process of imparting specific skills. Education on the other hand, is confined to theoretical learning in classroom. Though training and education differ in nature and orientation, they are complementary. An employee, for example, who undergoes training is presumed to have had had some formal education. Furthermore, no training programme is complete without an element of education. In fact, the distinction between training and education is getting increasingly blurred nowadays. As more and more employees are called upon to exercise judgment and to choose alternative solution to the job problem, training...

...Major body systems Cardio-vascular The cardiovascular system, also called the circulatory system, pumps blood around the body. The right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood, it then returns to the heart where it is pumped around the body. It also allows nutrients, hormones, oxygen and carbon dioxide to be transported around the body. Heart: The heart is made up of three layers: * Pericardium – the outer layer of the heart made of two fibrous sacs with fluid between them. It is there to protect the heart and prevent friction between the different beats as well as preventing distension of the heart. * Myocardium – is a specialist cardiac muscle and does not have control over itself. It contains a network of fibres that transmit the hearts electrical signals causing the heart to contract. The myocardium at its thickest at the apex of the heart and it thins towards the base in accordance to the workload that the heart undertakes. There is fibrous tissue running through it providing support as well as the specialist fibres that conduct the electrical signals. * Endocardium – the endocardium is a smooth epithelial tissue that allows a rapid movement of blood, it extends through all the vessels in the circulatory system. The heart is made up of four chambers. The septum divides the two sides of the heart and on each side of the heart there is an atrium – where blood goes into – and a ventricle – where blood is...

...Problems of small & medium enterprises: While the small entrepreneurs can set up a unit even with less capital, enjoy quick returns and have the flexibility to handle the vagaries of the market, they have to face many problems like the following: 1. Paucity of Finance: The small entrepreneurs possess a weak financial structure and find it extremely difficult to obtain credit because of lack of collateral security. This acts as a big handicap, especially in the initial stages, in most of their operations like their ability to hire the best workers or to purchase the latest machinery and equipment or to acquire sophisticated technology. 2. Poor availability of power and other infrastructure: Though infrastructural bottlenecks are problems for big businesses too, yet they can overcome these problems to some extent because of their financial strength e.g. generating their own power, or even influencing the government in framing its policies sometimes. The small entrepreneur on the other hand has to battle with them. 3. Obsolete Technology: Most small businesses use old technologies because they cannot afford better. As a result the quality of their goods is inferior and the cost of production is higher than in case...

...transactions, manufacturing, transportation, communication, defence systems, process control systems, and so on. In the near future, they will be found in our homes, controlling all forms of appliances. Left to themselves, they are harmless pieces of hardware. Load the right kind of software, they can take you to the moon, both literally and figuratively. It is the software that gives life to them.When they are going to play such a crucial role, one small flaw either in the hardware or the software can lead to catastrophic consequences. The sad part is, while there are well defined processes based on theoretical foundations to ensure the reliability of the hardware, same thing can not be said about software. There is no theory for software devlopment as yet. But at the same time, it is mandatory that software always behaves in a predictable manner, even in unforeseen circumstances. Hence there is a need to control its development through a well defined and systematic process. The old fashioned 'code & test' approach will not do any more. It may be good enough for 'toy' problems, but in real life, software is expected to solve enormously complex problems. Some of the aspects of real life software projects are: Team effort: Any large development effort requires the services of a team of specialists. For example the team could consist of domain experts, software design experts, coding specialists, testing experts, hardware specialists, etc. Each group could concentrate on a specific...

...COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT AND SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS DISCUSS THE VARIOUS ECONOMIC GROWTH THEORIES AND DEVELOPMENT THEORIES HOW CAN SUCH THEORIES BE USED IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA. COURSE TITLE THEORY OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COURSE CODE;ECO 2911 INTRODUCTION According to Dennis Goulet in The Cruel Choice, “it matters little how much information we possess about development if we have not grasped its inner meaning”. Development is not purely an economic phenomenon. In an ultimate sense, it must encompass more than the material and financial sides of people’s lives, to expand human freedom. Every nation strives after development. Development and growth should therefore be perceived as a multidimensional process involving the reorganization and reorientation of the entire economic and social systems. The sources of economic progress can be traced to a variety of factors, but by and large, investments that improve the quality of existing physical and human resources, increase the quantity of these same productive resources, and raise the productivity of all or specific resources through invention , innovation and technological progress have been and will continue to be primary factors in stimulating economic growth in any society. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THEORIES Definition of economic development It can be defined as the increase in the standard of living of a nation's population with sustained growth from a simple, low-income economy...

Are there any issues you had with your parents, your school work, your friends, or your romantic involvements in the last year of high school that continued to be issues for you in college? First of all, don’t all teenagers have issues with their parents? I didn’t have a ton of issues with them as most kids did when I was in high school. My school work has always been pretty consistent with me staying on top of things and doing my homework when I was suppose to. My last year of high school is when I had my first real relationship and that continued into my first year of college, but it was no big thing. I really didn’t have too many issues in high school, I’m not saying that I was perfect, but I was very quiet and I only had one really good friend in high school. The only big issue that I had was I had a tough time having a good work ethic. I started working when I was 16 and let me just say I had terrible work ethics. My parents had to help me come to like to work and appreciate what I was working for. By the time I got into college, this wasn’t a problem anymore. 2. Reflect on your own personality, interests and cognitive abilities at the time you graduated high school. How did these personality characteristics and abilities manifest themselves in subsequent years? How have they...
