...has managed to overcome the characterization of “political dwarf” and became one of the key centers of global politics. In this dynamic world where everything is changing so fast, the development of foreign policy of the European Union acquires excessive actuality. While talking about the EU, it is necessary to mention the fact that in the relations between different countries the it always tends to be in the dominant position and is trying to be one of the global political actors. That is why this topic is very actual. I am focusing on my paper from the analytical point of view. My research paper consists of three parts. The first part is dedicated to the formation of the EU. I’ll speak about the enlargement processes, especially the fifth enlargement identifying its positive and negative aspects. In the second part the main stress is placed on the development of the EU. Here is going to be examined the candidate countries, Turkey’s integration perspectives. The third part is about relations with NATO. In the last part of this chapter is spoken about the “Eastern Partnership” which is considered to be one of the elements of the European politics. Here are examined the relations between the Republic of Armenia and the EU within the framework of this partnership. Then, in conclusion we summarize the essential factors which indicate the important role of...

...Security Policy (CFSP). Currently, membership of the European Union consists of twenty five states. The last wave of admissions included many former Communist bloc countries such as Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia. The next scheduled enlargement is in 2007, when Romania and Bulgaria are scheduled to join. After this, the next state scheduled to join is Turkey, which will open negotiations with the EU in October 2005. Potential Turkish membership of the EU is in many ways a paradox. Turkey has for many years had pro-western leanings. Its strategic requirements during the Cold War led Ankara to strongly embrace NATO and rely on the west for its security guarantees. Also, the founder of modern Turkey, Kemal Ataturk founded the state on six profoundly western pillars. These were: firstly, Secularism, which effectively meant removing the direct influence of religious leaders on political decisions and education; secondly, Republicanism, organising the polity as a modern state, as opposed to the Ottoman Empire; thirdly, Populism, not accepting class divisions but making the well being of the people as a central aim of politics; fourthly, Nationalism, establishing a single unified Turkish nation beyond religious or ethic allegiances; fifth, Etatism, meaning securing state influence and the economy; and finally, Reformism, continuous adaptation of the state to new conditions. As Barry Buzan notes, this overall design is still...

...Testosterone is converted to DHT and estrogen in certain tissues. High levels of DHT, a testosterone derivative that is involved in prostate growth may accumulate and cause hyperplasia. The problem that remains is how and why the levels of DHT increase. (Medline Plus) Another reason they feel hormones play a role is because if the testicles are removed after the development of BPH, the prostate begins to shrink in size. Whatever the cause, an enlarging prostate gradually narrows the urethra and obstructs the flow of urine. BPH is part of the aging process. Actual changes in the prostate may start as early as the 30s but take place very gradually. Changes are so gradual that significant enlargement and symptoms usually do not appear until after age 50. A small amount of prostate enlargement is present in men over the age of 40. After the age of 50, the...

...A. Executive Summary Within this report is an analysis of Perfect Pizzeria’s existing situation in relation to its operating environtment. A brief introduction will be given on Perfect Pizzeria existing condition so as to have an overview of how wel the company is doing. The group has adopted 3 perspectives to identify the problems encountered in Perfect Pizzeria, namely; Planning and Controlling, Job Design and Managing Conflict. After the identification of problems, recommendations base on individual implications will be given to tackle them so as to resolve or minimize it, improving the present condition of the company. A. Introduction While the planning function provides direction, the controlling fuction adds the vital regulatory element, allowing managers to monitor performance and take corrective action when needed. Conflict too, needs to be both controlled and managed. (Batrol, Martin, Tein, Matthews, 1998, page 640) The lack of planning and controlling often result in differences in perceptions and goals. In the case of Perfect Pizzeria, it had shown a perceived difference between managers and staff, resulting in conflicts. (Bartol, Marting, Tein and Matthews, 1998) Conflicts can be constructive as well as destructive, but if it is left unmanaged, it may result in dysfunctional effects on an organization and it’s people. To curb this, there must be good planning on the part of management. One subset of planning is in the area of Job Design. Proper...

...palpation, and auscultation. To inspect the heart of a client move them into a supine position and elevate the head of the bed between thirty and forty five degrees. Then stand on the client’s right side and look for the apical pulse and any abnormal pulse. However, the apical may not be visible, but if it can be seen is located at the left midclavicular line at the fifth intercostal space (Weber & Kelley, 2014, p. 432). Any other types of pulsation other than apically are called a lift or heave and should be evaluated. A lift is associated with right ventricular hypertrophy and is noted by retractions at the apex from posterior rotation of the left ventricle (Weber & Kelley, 2014, p. 439). Palpate the apical impulse standing of the right side of the patient, while they’re flat on their back. Use two finger pads to palpate the apical pulse and should be one to two centimeters and feel like a gentle tap. If the apical pulse can’t be palpated while supine ask the client to assume the left lateral position. If the apical pulse is larger than one to two centimeters, displace, and more forceful suspect cardiac enlargement. Placing the diaphragm of the stethoscope at the apex of the pericardium is used to auscultate the rate, rhythm, and sound of the heart. The normal rate of the heart is sixty to a hundred beats per minute with regular rhythm. The sounds of the heart are known as S1 or lub and S2 or dubb. S1 is best heard at the apex of the heart and corresponds with each carotid...

...Basic Concepts Kathy D. Hardy ECO/415 December 8, 2011 Dr. Robert Mupier In this paper the subject to discuss is the supply and demand from the simulation located on the University of Phoenix Student Website. There are several questions that will be answered and discussed such as how the changes in the business environment cause changes in supply and demand, why marginal analysis is important when making business decision, fixed and variable costs, and economic difficulties operating companies face. The subject of this paper will also give examples to these questions as they relate to the simulation to complete the knowledge of basic concepts in applied economics. Basic Concepts The supply and demand concept located in the simulation is key dynamics and basic concepts in applied economics. The main objective of this simulation is for Good Life Management to keep the equilibrium point in the two-bedroom rental apartment market in the city of Atlantis. Customer likes and preference, cost, and the level of the residents have the effect on the demand. The numbers of apartments, the quantity of apartments available and the quantity of apartments rented have the effect on the supply. Additionally, a variety of concerns should be taken into consideration such as the shift in supply and demand, and the process the shift in supply and demand has on the business environment. Furthermore, Management should think about the significance of the marginal...

...Cirric Development Q#1 Lord George Robertson was known as an independent-minded leader who takes personal decisions seriously. For instance, he opposed the decision to unilaterally disarm nuclear weapons.[1] However, it is pertinent to mention that some of the decisions made by Robertson have been quite illogical. He was expected to support the disarmament proposal after joining NATO even though he never showed any interest or willingness to do so. To a large extent, Roberson was heavily inclined towards supporting American interests at the expense of NATO affairs. Nonetheless, he took a firm position in the fight against terrorism especially after the September 11 terror attacks in the United States. As a matter of fact, conjuring the fifth article on mutual defense was a pragmatic step in the right direction for the NATO Secretary General. The fight against terrorism received a new boost during his reign. Some of his critics believed that he could have done better in his leadership style than he portrayed while at the helm of NATO.[2] NATO involvement in Afghanistan could be deemed as one of the failures of Lord Robertson because he permitted the action. The gross humanitarian crisis created by NATO involvement could not be equated to the skewed objectives of the move. On the other hand, Lord Robertson played a crucial role in the campaigns to keep Scotland under the United Kingdom. This followed attempts by some leaders in Scotland to separate the country from the United...

...Employee Motivation within the organization: The job of a manager in the workplace is to get daily tasking done in an efficient and productive manager. To do this the manager should be able to motivate employees. At times this because complicated because some employee’s do not have the incentive or commitment to get the job done properly. Motivation practices and theories are difficult subjects, as they are associates with many different philosophies. Motivation is not clearly understood and more often than not poorly practiced. To understand motivation one must understand human nature itself. Human nature can be very simple, yet very intricate too. An understanding and appreciation of this is a prerequisite to effective employee motivation in the workplace and effective administration and management. Motivation in the workplace is one of the main concerns that managers face when trying to boost their employees to work harder and do what is expected of them on a day-to-day basis. According to Langton and Robbins each theory can be divided into two categories; needs theories and process theories (Langton & Robbins, 2007). Each theories shows the differences that people have and how they can be applied to motivate the individual. Process theories include a broader portrayal which describes the procedures involved in motivating others. Employee incentive programs go a long way towards guaranteeing employees feel appreciated and valuable. This single-handedly can help with employee...

...Unwinnable war II The unwinnable war speech is a speech that is written and spoken by Robert F. Kennedy, which will say, that he is the sender of this text. The speech was hold under the circumstances of the Vietnam War. At the time the speech was hold, USA was loosing in Vietnam and Robert F. Kennedy was presidential candidate. Which will say that he by some knew about the war and its consequences. The speech is turned against the explicit audience of the USA population, who assumed that the US was winning the war in Vietnam. He is using rhetorical devises as logos and Ethos, he is well formulated and trying to make his points as clear as possible and do it with a passion about the topic. He uses logos when he want’s to make a point clear to his audience: ‘’Imagine the impact in our own country if an equivalent number—over 25 million Americans—were wandering homeless or interned in refugee camps, and millions more refugees were being created as New York and Chicago, Washington and Boston, were being destroyed by a war raging in their streets.’’ (l. 58-61, p. 3) So as we can se in this example, he both use some sort of figurative language because he compares the Vietnam situation in a American perspective and while he do that, he is emphasizing he’s argument by putting numbers to the bigger picture and appealing to people with logos. He does also uses pathos in a smaller degree as here, when he both appealing with logos and pathos at the same time: ‘‘you cannot expect...

...1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY “The structure of an organization consists of relatively fixed and stable relationships among jobs and groups of jobs. The primary purpose of organization structure is to influence the behaviour of individuals and groups to achieve effective performance.” Gibson, Ivancevich, Donnelly and Konopaske (2009:418). Organisational structure and job design are key determinants of employee job performance and satisfaction. The degree to which the employee fits into the designed job and structure will determine the quality of performance and job satisfaction of that employee. The small life insurance company has a functional organisation structure that is associated with high human cost, boring, insignificant and monotonous jobs. This type of structure has resulted in job dissatisfaction, high turnover and absenteeism. The researchers start the analysis of the case by studying the critical relationship between job performance, job design and organisational design, and contrast the views of Gibson et al. (2009), Colquitt et al. (2008), van Dyk (2005) and Autry (1996) amongst other authors. The analysis reveals that congruency between job design and organisational design ensures desirable job performance by matching the right employees with the right jobs. Quality of work life and job enrichment play a major role in employees’ job satisfaction and this makes them perform at their optimum best. The researchers go on to identify problems that the insurance company...

...eighth decade of life. Men and women are affected at the same frequency. Patients report a constant pain behind the eye that may begin several days (up to 30 days) prior to the ophthalmoplegia; in one series the median time interval between onset of pain and cranial nerve palsy was two days. The pain is characteristically described as a steady gnawing or boring pain. Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is typically unilateral; bilateral symptoms occur in few cases. Diplopia results from cranial mono- or polyneuropathy. Involvement of cranial nerve III is reported most frequently, followed by cranial nerve VI, the ophthalmic division of cranial nerve V, and cranial nerve IV. In conjunction with ophthalmoplegia, the maxillary and mandibular divisions of the fifth nerve, the optic nerve, and the facial nerve have also been affected in individual cases, suggesting that inflammation extends beyond the cavernous sinus in rare cases. Involvement of the optic nerve occurs at the orbital apex and may cause optic disc edema or pallor. Loss of visual acuity is uncommon but may occur unpredictably and may be permanent. Left untreated, symptoms of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome may resolve spontaneously after an average of about eight weeks. Most patients who present with painful ophthalmoplegia will not have Tolosa-Hunt syndrome. The syndrome of painful ophthalmoplegia may be caused by any process exerting a mass effect on the cavernous sinus. These include a primary intracranial tumor, lymphoma or other local or distant...

...The Man without a Memory Psych/575 January 27, 2013 The Man without a Memory Remembering is what a person understands; understanding is only what the person pay’s attention to, and individuals only pay attention to what they want to (Keeley, 1997). Memory brings so much to our lives; whether it's’ contributions are positive or negative. Our memories write, underwrite, and re-tell our lives’ journeys. But what happens when this very luxury or curse is robbed from us? What happens when what is recalled and remembered is chosen for us? After viewing Clive’s story in ‘The Man Without A Memory,’ we are reminded not to take the things we remember, choose to remember, and choose to forget for granted. Within this paper, the relationship between learning something and remembering it is described. The specific area of Clive’s brain that was damaged is revealed; Clive’s loss of memory for most things except his memory for his wife and the piano are explained. Memories we would miss the most are described, and how emotions are linked to memories are examined. Relationship between Learning and Remembering To explain the relationship between learning and remembering, I would start with learning information such as preparing for a test. The student can remember the material for the test, but does not retain the information after the test to remember the knowledge. If the student learns the information for the test, but then retains the material, the student will remember what...
