...Stress is not something strange to our daily life nowadays. According to Grohol, you cannot escape stress because it is normal in everybody’s life. Everybody may feel stress when they are facing bad situation. Generally, in social science research, the word stress has been used since Selye, a well-known medical expert pioneered the research for psychological stress in 1950’s. According to Cox & Brockley (1984), stress is a perception phenomenon which exists from a comparison between the command given and ability of a person to execute he task successfully. Unbalanced situation in this mechanism will lead into stress experience and ultimately into stress reaction. Stress level is the level of tangential or hoop stress, usually expressed as a percentage of specified minimum yield strength. College students cannot escape stress. If you think about what many college students are going through, you might possibly say that it is really a big thing. Stress is the individual’s response to the demand for change. When you are already in a college campus, you are continually bombarded with demands to change your behavior, academic performance, values and major choice or career. Stress is not bad, in fact, it is also essential in learning. There is one study or research which shows that learning takes place under conditions of moderate stress. So, your goal is to maintain this stress at a moderate level (Landino, 2006). Many students were able to control or keep their stress at a moderate...

...Seeing how high my level of stress is, was definitely an eye opener. My score was 395 which in the books means that I am in a major life crisis and have an 80 percent chance of illness. I know that I stress out about a lot and have many things going on at one time during periods of my life, I did not think I was as stressed out as I have learned. That is a very shocking analysis for me. I do not really have any stress relieving methods that I use but I see that I should definitely start using some. I think the number one technique that would really help me would be to exercise. I have been putting that off for awhile and feel like the procrastination actually adds to my stress as well. Being able to start working out and relieving stress by doing it would be a win-win situation. I think exercising is a very positive way to relieve stress because it allows to remove anger or aggression, if you have any, without actually being angry. This technique may not work as well for those with disabilities just because there might not be a very big variety of equipment to choose from. I think for anyone exercising is a good stress reliever as long as you have safe equipment and someone to help you work it....

M. D. Y1 2 O MAS Intimates, Sri Lanka Rathnayake, L. R2 ABSTRACT ver the years,there has been a significant concentration on recognition and managing job stress as an important organizational problem. With this identification, organizations have enhanced their awareness towards this problem, as job stress contributes to a significant portion of health care cost, absenteeism, and turnover consequently reduces the employee performance and leads to productivity losses. The purpose of this study is to investigate the job stress level of executive employees. The data were collected from 88 employees of apparel sector manufacturing organizations in Sri Lanka. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire, which comprised of standard measures with five dimensions. They are working environment and communication, work/home conflict and social life, administration and goal achievement, problems with subordinates, and demands from subordinates and others. The level job stress of the respondents was measure by the measure developed by Rout, Cooper, and Rout, (1996 cited in Rout 1999). The results shows that the executive level employees experience stress in any given situation while they...

...It is an often debated topic when discussing the comparison of stress levels of women compared to the stress levels of men. There are different causes of stress as well as different methods of relieving stress. On average, women feel as though they have more stress than men and handle stress better than men. Many people experience different forms of stress. Be it personal, emotional, physical or work-related. How to handle these kinds of stress is essential to having a balanced life. We all get emotional occasionally or lose our temper once in a while. But if you are out of balance in either one of these areas, it is very important to get back in balance if you want your day or life to go right. If your feelings get hurt because someone looks at you the wrong way or because friends, family and even co-workers forget your birthday, some spend more time with God praying and asking for the hurt to be lifted off of you. You will be built up in your spirit and better able to overlook the offenses of others and forgive them. Forgiving is an excellent stress reliever. Releasing all of that tension and calming your spirit. Quite of few people relieve their stress by praying. Giving your issues, concerns and worries to God is the best thing you can do for yourself. Another form of stress relieving is listening to music. Music, they say, can soothe the savage beast and we all have a savage beast in us some times. It can be jazz, instrumental, classical or gospel just to name...

...Dramaturgy Everyday we play different roles in society. There are different sides that we show to each individual we encounter based on what their roles are in our lives. In this paper, I will discuss the sociological perspective known as dramaturgy. I will describe my front and back stages. My use of impression management will be discussed as well as why we use this form of management. Being social beings on the stage of life, we must play our parts accordingly. Dramaturgy is one social perspective that revolves around role playing. This theory says that we are like actors on a stage and we take on many roles when we interact with others. We constantly change our role (character) when we meet new people. There are two stages associated with dramaturgy and they are the front and back stages. The front stage is the stage where actions are visible to the audience and are part of the performance. Everyday my life is filled with front stages. My office where I work as a Correctional Records Technician serves as one of my front stages. It is there where I assist a multitude of public citizens on a daily basis. My home is another front stage. This is where I take on the role of head of household. The back stage is where performers are present but audience is not, and the performers can step out of character without fear of disrupting the performance. When I get into my car and turn the radio on and hear a song with a nice beat, I start singing and moving to the beat. My car serves...

...Road Not Taken asked that I stop to consider every time I moved my jawa-like wizard around its grid-based maps. On one level I stared at the screen for about five minutes, contemplating every possible route to get the last child I needed to rescue to beat the area while avoiding a malicious black spirit that would drain about a fourth of my current health. But if I made too many useless moves here, I could end up without enough left to finish the next level. I eventually got to the child, but not without taking a spirit to the face - acceptable losses. That risk-reward balance is a clever hook at first, but it too quickly became less exciting as I played. Learning to match the varied animals, monsters, spirits, and other objects scattered across Road’s randomized levels in the fewest movements possible was, at first, unforgiving (leading to situations like my five-minute stumper). Every new object was a surprise, and some are as likely to end a good run on the spot as they are to help you out. But that’s to be expected from a Roguelike, where the first few sessions are more about learning the ins and outs than anything else. Most Roguelikes remove all your progress on death, making your knowledge of what to expect next time around the most palpable form of progress; here that knowledge is solidified in the form of a persistent and indispensable notebook that fills out as you uncover new objects and combinations. Being able to look up what each piece I encountered could turn...

...have been miserable failures. Reidenbach and Robin’s notion of corporate moral development is based on the American psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg’s conception of individual moral development (see Unit A3). Kohlberg has described moral development as moving through three main levels. Each level is divided into two stages, so there are six stages in all. Some individuals progress through all the stages, while others get “stuck” at the lower stages. Pre-conventional level (stages 1 and 2). At stage 1, the infant is initially motivated purely externally by fear of punishment, such as a spanking, and at stage 2 by a desire for rewards, such as a piece of candy. Conventional level (stages 3 and 4). Stage 3 is the “good-boy/nice-girl morality,” in which children seek their parents’ or peers’ approval. After this, an individual may move to stage 4, the “law and order stage,” in which great value is placed on following social rules. At this stage people have started to move beyond merely an egoistic motivation to one in which there is real concern for meeting standards for non-selfish reasons. Kohlberg believed that most adults remain at this stage. Post-conventional, autonomous, or principles level (stages 5 and 6). Here, one accepts moral rules not just because they are part of one’s society but because one knows that the rules are right. In stage 5, individuals see morality as a kind of contract between individuals that grounds individual rights, a position which is very...

...sometimes ago. It was just a short news article in one of the local dailies. The story keeps on ringing in my mind up to today. I feel that the whole nation should stand and honor this woman for her courageous actions she portrayed on this fateful day. It happened that in the year 2007 in the city of Orina in India, a town that had over 100,000 people. It was raining heavily, and life was almost coming to a standstill. Everyone in the area woke up in shock after finding pools of water moving at alarming speed sweeping everything it came across. It was around 8 in the morning. Before even people realized what was happening, the water level started rising, and there was no accessible route to escape. People quickly rushed out of their houses and water was unfortunately found themselves stranded as the water level continued to rise above the level of their waists. At this moment, the rain was still slowly falling, and everything became a menace. After about an hour, the town was full of water and people were trying helplessly to come out of the water. Water was gradually rising, and there was nothing else visible but water. It was a moment of darkness as people started drowning one after the other. The aged people and children were the most affected. Everyone was screaming to save his or her own life. There was neither gender nor tribe; the language was the same; Save a life at whatever cost. One young lady rose up from nowhere, amidst dead bodies floating on water. Death was inevitable...

...importance of aggregate planning strategies. The aggregate planning strategies has as its primary mission, set production levels in aggregated units along of a time horizon that generally ranges from 3 to 18 months, so as to achieve meet the needs identified in the long-term plan, keeping while minimum levels of costs and a good level of customer service. In aggregate planning various mathematical techniques can be used to obtain feasible schedules. With planning methods is to optimize the use of resources avoiding sudden changes in production and at the same time reduce the total cost planning. The importance of aggregate planning in the process of managing an organization is to establish plans for short and medium term to meet the requirements of the production forecast when the capacity from the standpoint of plant or equipment is relatively fixed. INTRODUCTION In this paper I’m going to talk about Aggregate Planning Strategies. The aggregate planning serves as a link between the decisions about the facilities and programming. The decision of the aggregate planning establishes production levels overall medium term, which is why it is necessary that the company these processes is implemented, making decisions and policies that relate to overtime, hiring, layoffs, outsourcing and levels inventory. Knowledge of these factors will allow us to determine production levels involved and the mix of resources used. Like the aggregate planning other types of control and programming that...

...given an opportunity to think critically about how to approach to influence different managers and workers with different characteristics. By running the simulation twice, it allowed us to find out what actions have worked and what did not during the first run, and then second run allowed us to apply what we learned to complete the second simulation in a much more efficient and timely manner. There are three stages in the simulation, including mobilization, movement, and sustain phases. The simulation begins in the mobilization phase, and in this phase it was important to get everyone aware of the new change we wish to initiate in the company. The key factor in the beginning was to introduce the new project to each person on a personal level, using personal interviews, skill building, and getting consultant’s support. All of these involve personal contact and were effective in making people both aware and interested to the change. The second stage was movement phase, and the key factors that lead to success in this stages was maintaining high credibility. We could gain credibility through getting consultant’s support and getting CEO’s public support. As majority individuals got into interest and trial stages we were able to use town hall meetings and walk the talk, which attracted more workers to be in interest and trial stages. Again, maintaining high credibility was important throughout the stages because low credibility meant low chance with people would buy in to the initiative...

...Software Evaluation Science Software Evaluation Lindsey Young Grand Canyon University TEC 537 Strgs &Intrg Prod. Software August 18, 2010 Science Software Evaluation Educational software is an important component integrated into most current curriculums. However, as an educational facilitator it is important to evaluate the software being incorporated and utilized by the students. Because instructional time is limited, it is imperative that each educational piece be relevant to the students learning and the overall educational goal. A great way to rate, or evaluate, is through the careful creation of a rubric. A rubric not only organizes the key elements, but it also breaks down these key elements and arranges them by relevance. The attached rubric allows the rater to evaluate technical and educational aspects of educational software. It checks the significance of the software’s content, the accuracy of the content, active or inactive links embedded in the software, graphics, layout, material that students are expected to know to be able to utilize the software effectively, age and grade appropriateness, and curriculum connections. Using the rubric, one can evaluate the overall effectiveness of two online educational software tools. For example, Sheppard Software was created by Brad Sheppard, to provide an educational tool for students in all subjects. Using the rubric, lets evaluate Sheppard’s Chemistry games on the periodic table. There...
