...Case Analysis 5 Analysis: Summary of Chapters California Intercontinental University Introduction This case analysis explores chapters thirteen and fourteen for the particular week. Case analysis introduces the business research and scientific investigation chapters. This paper meets the Course Objectives/Learning Outcomes in the syllabus. Qualitative Data Analysis Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) is the range of processes and procedures whereby we move from the qualitative data that have been collected into some form of explanation, understanding or interpretation of the people and situations we are investigating. QDA is usually based on an interpretative philosophy. The idea is to examine the meaningful and symbolic content of qualitative data. For example, by analyzing interview data the researcher may be attempting to identify any or all of: • Someone's interpretation of the world, • Why they have that point of view, • How they came to that view, • What they have been doing, • How they conveyed their view of their situation, • How they identify or classify themselves and others in what they say, The process of QDA usually involves two things, writing and the identification of themes. Writing of some kind is found in almost all forms of QDA. In contrast, some approaches, such as discourse analysis or conversation analysis may not require the identification of themes. Nevertheless...

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Many discoveries have proven their importance and significance in the lives of human beings. These discoveries have oftentimes help people continue living and prove their existence. Fire is one of those greatest discoveries of the humankind that became very useful in man’s everyday living. One cannot live without using fire. Humans need fire to keep them warm, to cook their foods, to manufacture different products and many other things that require the use of heat and combustion that could be provided by fire. But though there are many important uses of fire, it has also become a threat to our lives and properties. Victims of fires usually utter that “It’s better to be a victim of robbers than to be a victim of fire”. Their statement holds true because fire does not only cause financial loses but also loss of lives and properties. Fire can happen anywhere at any time and have devastating impact on the places including persons and properties. The horrifying probability of fire starting at any time of the day, any minute and anywhere is recognized by the government. Fire safety is the central focus of all and the concern of everyone, young and old, from factory owners and other manufacturing establishments, malls, offices, schools, universities, etc for the health and safety of shoppers, students as well as employees.

He then explained how he had a massive stroke and is now paralyzed by a locked-in syndrome in which he could not move anything, but his eye. He now then lives a “non-living” life and talks about his pasts and imaginations. Communication was also tedious for him, Jean would blink when a person with a board of letters pointed at a correct letter. This was also how he wrote the book, but this was obviously a very time consuming process, which is why this book was short.....

...An Analysis of Accounting Ethics Anna Aspras ACC 770 Proposal Hunter College INTRODUCTION Ethics refers to the discipline that deals with the bad and the good and also with the moral duties as well as moral obligations (Stolowy and Breton 2004). As Weidmann and Lenzen (2006) points out, ethics entails doing the right thing. Accounting ethics is mainly in the area of applied ethics and at the same time, it is also a part of business ethics as well as human ethics. It is worth pointing out that the kind of work that is always carried out by the auditors, as well as the accountants generally needs very huge ethics levels (Stolowy and Breton, 2000). The shareholders of the firms, the potential shareholders, as well as the other people who use the financial statements that are prepared by the accountants generally depend on the annual financial statements of the firms given that they are capable of using the information in making highly informed decisions concerning investments. At the same time, they depend on the accountants’ opinion and the verification of the financial statements by the auditors in order to make sure that the financial statements are giving a true, as well as a fair view of the firm (Weidmann and Lenzen, 2006). It is worth pointing out that the knowledge of ethics is capable of helping the accountants, as well as the auditors to overcome various kinds of ethical dilemmas, and this generally ensures that the correct choice is made though it might not be of benefit...

...ABSTRACT This research work was carried out to examine the consequences of domestic violence on the performance of school children. The research methodology utilizes descriptive statistics with simple numbers and percentages in the analysis and synthesizing of primary sources of data collected via questionnaire, as well as diverse literature on the area of study. However, the findings revealed that commitment by parents; caregivers and teachers in carrying out their responsibilities seem to be on the decline. The study further exposes some inherent challenges and abuses faced by learners in unsuitable living conditions. The implications of such situations are that learning institution should ascertain possible ways of liberating the affected learner and educate the parents, caregivers and teachers on the negative effects of perpetuating domestic violence. It is therefore, recommended that, Government should establish and fund counselling centres at the community, and Local Government levels and employ professional counsellors to help victims and perpetrators of domestic violence. CHAPTER ONE BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY 1.1 Background of the Study Domestic violence is assuming national and international attention (Amnesty International 1995). It is a type of violence that is prevalent in many homes, and the World over. It is a form of violence that occurs in the form of defilement, assault, sexual harassment, and rape or battering, child abuse, for example denial of right, necessities...

...About Things Fall Apart Chinua Achebe's college work sharpened his interest in indigenous Nigerian cultures. He had grown up in Ogidi, a large village in Nigeria. His father taught at the missionary school, and Achebe witnessed firsthand the complex mix of benefit and catastrophe that the Christian religion had brought to the Igbo people. In the 1950s, an exciting new literary movement grew in strength. Drawing on indigenous Nigerian oral traditions, this movement enriched European literary forms in hopes of creating a new literature, in English but unmistakably African. Published in 1958, Things Fall Apart is one of the masterpieces of 20th century African fiction. Things Fall Apart is set in the 1890s, during the coming of the white man to Nigeria. In part, the novel is a response and antidote to a large tradition of European literature in which Africans are depicted as primitive and mindless savages. The attitudes present in colonial literature are so ingrained into our perception of Africa that the District Commissioner, who appears at the end of the novel, strikes a chord of familiarity with most readers. He is arrogant, dismissive of African "savages," and totally ignorant of the complexity and richness of Igbo life. Yet his attitude echoes so much of the depiction of Africa; this attitude, following Achebe's depiction of the Igbo, seems hollow and savage. Digression is one of Achebe's most important tools. Although the novel's central story is the tragedy of Okonkwo...

...School Management. Some of the problem caused includes, few hostels that exist in the College are not properly managed, Statistic of rooms required to match the growing numbers of students are farfetched, Student pays fee for hostel and may end up not getting rooms because of lack of bed space, Hostel administrators cannot give accurate information of the occupancy of a particular room. In respect to all these existing problems, a system will be designed to manage a database for allocating hostel and room to student. The system designed will keep track of all the available rooms, their occupants and funds generated from hostel fees. The New system will be implemented using Visual Basic 6.0 and Ms Access Database. CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY In 1912, in Altena Castle in Germany, Richard Schirrmann created the first permanent Jugendherberge or "Youth Hostel". These first Youth Hostels were an exponent of the ideology of the German Youth Movement to let poor city youngsters breathe fresh air outdoors. The youths were supposed to manage the hostel themselves as much as possible, doing chores to keep the costs down and build character as well as being physically active outdoors. Because of this, many Youth Hostels closed during the middle part of the day. There are several differences between hostels and hotels, including: • Hostels tend to be budget-oriented; rates are considerably lower, and many hostels have programs to share...
