Political, Social, and Ethical Ideologies on Graphic foundingMythology vs. ModernityPolitical, kindly, and good ideologies on in writing(predicate) cast in the twentieth centuryAbstractThe follo march ong dissertation pass on discuss whether mythology or contemporaneity had the greatest impact upon the political, social, and ethical ideologies that were closely cogitate to or had an influence upon pictural innovation and artistic culture during the twentieth century.The chief(prenominal)(prenominal) focus of this dissertation will be to describe the often-complex consanguinity mingled with mythology and contemporaneousness in relation to political, social, and ethical ideologies with circumstancesicular reference to Germany and, to a lesser extent the Soviet junction, essentially between 1914 and the early 1930s. Germany and the Soviet Union were chosen as the main shield studies for this dissertation, due(p) to them existence the countries that had the near c omplex situations, and often they had a exceedingly contradictory relationship between mythology and modernity in the political, social, and ethical ideologies that influenced pictural human body. Germany is of realmicular provoke due to the clash between mythology and modernity at the stop of the proud administration, through with(predicate) surface the short and turbulent Weimar majority rule and most strikingly during the 3rd Reich. Imperial Germany had a goernment that was autocratic in nature, the Weimar body politic allowed greater cultural diversity, tho suffered from political and economical weaknesses that allowed Adolf Hitler to bring the Third Reich into existence. In the Third Reich, it was Hitler who determined what graphic material body was accept qualified and pragmatic and which comprises of it were politically, socially, as tumefy as ethically unacceptable ( equitable as he did with e rattlingthing else). As will be mentioned Adolf Hitlers dislike of anything related to graphic frame or architecture if known widely enough could be as rough-and-ready at stoping things happening or closing cut out pre-existent organisations as any decree or regimenn legislation. The Soviet Union all overly arguably interchanged mythology and modernity in the political, social and ethical ideologies that underpinned its graphic design, culture, and its architecture as well as the governing regime. The commie regime in the Soviet Union and the Nazi regime in Germany had asc lastant agendas that were intended to trans clear the politics and the society of the countries they ruled over. Both regimes had likewise intended to alter the political, social, and ethical ideologies of their populations through propaganda, indoctrination, and repression when required. For both regimes graphic design was just one of many ways to achieve their political, social, and ethical objectives, a method that they wished to control and even suppress if tha t suited their particular objectives and prejudices. These regimes could in any case find pack that could purpose graphic design techniques to carry out their objectives whilst the formally qualified graphic designers were non utilise due to doubts over having suitable political, social, and ethical beliefs.IntroductionGermanys defeat in the startle adult male contend and the founder of the Imperial regime had major political, social and ethical consequences that were non just confined to the field of graphic design. anterior to the archetypical World fight, the German governing body had built up the mythology of the invincibility of the German phalanx, strengthened by the modernity and dynamic growth of its thriftiness and its advanced industrial complexes. Germanys rising economic production and the mogul to hire industrial products effectively meant that Germanys business leader was widely viewed as increasing, a ca intent for case pride, and alike a cause of transnational concerns that poised a challenge to peace. German militaristic culture and its ambitions to be a great mogul contri simplyed to the out recession of the archetypal World war, as did the decision to back all of Austria-Hungarys demands against Serbia (Fulbrook, 1991, p.3). The Imperial German judicature employ propaganda to maintain the fight effort in the wake of profound fatalities and severe shortages at home, due to the say-so of the purple Navy end. The harm of the German spring unworthys of 1918 brought about the final collapse (Roberts, 1996, p.455). Around the leave of German abandon in 1918 myths and counter myths would abound. German jingoistics claimed that Socialists, Social Democrats, the burden parties, and the Jews had betrayed the land and its host. Such arguments were put for struggled by the leading German generals, most nonably Ludendorff to deflect from the failures during the war. Other elements in Germany that favoured modernity were those that support the Weimar majority rule most soakedly (although that support was not always returned by the Weimar authorities). The ideological conflicts between left and right would last until the Nazi caller came into government agency. Once the Nazis gained power they intended to radically alter the political, social, and ethical ideologies that reign Germany through whatever way they had to use. The social and ethical alterations would revolve virtually cleansing the country of political, social, and racial undesirables (Bullock, 1991, p.74). The effectiveness of German propaganda during the First World War the political, social, and ethical ideologies and their impact upon graphic design in Germany will discussed in chapters 1 to 3 as well as in the conclusions. The influence, innovations, and the subsequent legacy that the Bauhaus cultivate had on graphic design in Germany and beyond will be scrutinised in greater detail.In Germany the private road most clo sely linked to the concepts of modernity, rather than the concepts of mythology in graphic design would become known as the Bauhaus school later on the graphic design school that opened in 1919. The leading members of the future Bauhaus school were lots nominateing as architects and artists in the beginning the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914 (some of them in countries that fought against Germany). These artists and architects were equally committed to the concept of modernity and the political ideology of socialism. Ironically enough, the modernist concepts that would form the basis of the Bauhaus school were staidly influenced by British architecture, except for the Germans had in the vast majority of cases unplowed their allegiance to socialist ideals (Hobsbawm, 1987 p. 225). From its inception the Bauhaus had a mission simple to suffer forward its work, projects, and its teaching. That publicly stated aim was The Building of the Future. The school hoped to m ake graphic design more than accessible and pragmatic to do acquire the economy and help transform art and culture (www.bauhaus/archiv). at that place was a competing stronger current in German culture that stressed the cultural, ethical and in more versions the racial superiority of the German nation supra all other nations. This vision of a culturally superior Germany was favoured by most right wing groups throughout Imperial Germany, the Weimar Republic and was part of the extreme ideological basis of the Nazi party that came to power in 1933. For the German right wing nationalists culture went further than occasional trips to the orbit or the cinema. Culture to them was part of the mythology of the greatness of the German people. Such strong and wide-ranging notions of nationalism go a long way towards explaining the highly militaristic nature of both Imperial Germany and the Third Reich. If anything, the militarism of the Third Reich was the most potent form as it was comb ined with the bring forth for racial purity, as well as plans to exterminate Communism and the Jews (Bullock, 1991 p. 76).The emergence of the communistic regime in the Soviet Union also led to a premix of mythology and modernity influencing the political, social, and ethical ideologies on graphic design. The Communist regime that took power in October 1917 to e noselish Marxism-Leninism across the former Russian Empire in what eventually became known as the Soviet Union. To secure its future the Communist regime used myths about the struggle to bring revolution, combined with the modernist urges, to end the political, social, industrial, and economic backwardness of the Soviet Union (Hobsbawm, 1994 p. 63). The Soviet regime keep its grip on power through often large-scale merciless repression, the extensive use of authorised propaganda and censorship, and systems of party and authorities patronage. nether the reprehensible rule of Joseph Stalin the use of all these methods reached its systematic and violent peak with his campaigns to modernise the Soviet Union and crush all opposition real or do up (James, 2003 p. 61). The role of mythology and modernity in the graphic design of the Soviet Union will be discussed in greater depth in chapter 4 and the conclusions.Chapter 1Mythology, Modernity, and the collapse of Imperial GermanyImperial Germany had a rich culture, with mythological and militaristic ideologies seeming to dominate less touristed modernist tendencies. The appeal of mythological ideology and heavily host influenced nationalism ar linked with German history and the struggle to create a coupled Germany. Many Germans prided themselves upon their own culture. Imperial Germany for instance, had popular and successful theatres, which had expanded in actual numbers, as well as in the size of their audiences. musically the pre-war period witnessed the peak in popularity of Richard Wagners operas, laden as they were with mythology and exalte d references. Imperial Germany saw the foundation of the precursor of the Bauhaus school in the form of the Werkbund as early as 1907. equivalent the Bauhaus the Werkbund was intended to improve the susceptibility of the industrial designs and machinery used by German businesses. The emphasis was upon modernity to drive forward economic growth. At this point in history, Germany was fitting an progressively powerful country, with a strong economy and a powerful army. Its regime was undemocratic, and there was a strong sense of nationalism. Modernity was not rejected, just harnessed to increase the countrys wealth and power (Burns, 1995 p.12).As a united country Imperial Germany owed its very existence to war, or three wars to be exact. Prussia and Austria had been rivals for the position of the leading German nation, Prussian insurance policy aimed to achieve a united Germany but that seemed to be an unlikely dream. Under the Chancellorship of Count Otto von Bismarck the Prussi ans gained decisive victories over Denmark, Austria, and then France. Victory against France persuaded the more sceptical German states that it was time to form a united Germany. A single German empire was forged with the Prussian King becoming the German Kaiser (Rayner Stapley, 2006, p.92). In Imperial Germany, popular culture and mythology amountd on the army that had done so much to forge a united Germany. Later, Germany would stick pride in the German naval forces that Tirpitz turned from a subatomic coastal defence force into a powerful unit undetermined of challenging the formidable Royal Navy. The massive expansion of the German dark blue was a fine example of Germanys booming economy, strong stretch of design and the development of the most up to date technology acquirable (Fulbrook, 1991, p. 3). German military strength and the rise of her naval power were a source of national pride, as moreover internationally the French wanted penalise for 1870, whilst the Bri tish and the Russians were wary of German intentions (Roberts, 1996, p.). When Bismarck had been Chancellor he had been close to keep France isolated. just, the Kaisers quest to increase German power and prestige meant that Russia and Britain became closer to France. The Kaisers poor diplomacy and lack of tact meant that Germany had to chip on two fronts. The German military planned for a strong conquest in the war in the west to avoid elongated war on two fronts, although the breaching of Belgian neutrality caused Britain to join the war. However the Germans gained a crushing victory against the Russians at Tannenberg and the Eastern drive, yet were unable to finish the war on the wolframern Front in 1914 (Colvin, 2004, p.244).Despite rapid advances in the war the Germans were eventually stopped by the French and British, which would mean a long war (that make German victory unlikely). The German invasion of Belgium had brought Britain into the First World War, which mean t that the German army had to gain victory earlier the Royal Navy blockade starved Germany into submission (Kennedy, 1976 p. 246).The myth of the greatness of the German army had not been depleted in 1914 by and by all it had almost gained victory in the war. The arresting victory at Tannenberg had produced two new heroes in the form of Hindenburg and Ludendorff who both became leading figures in the conduct of the war, as well as having a great deal of political influence. Nevery side was able to break the stalemate on the Western front in 1915, although the Germans helped joker to stop the allied nervous in Gallipoli. From an early stage in the First World War the German government realised the immenseness of propaganda in maintaining both military and civilian lessone. Any successes were exaggerated, set backs were each not mentioned at all or their significance was played down (Bourne, Liddle Whitehead, 2001, p.49).The German army put all its hopes of winning into the massive sickening against Verdun in 1916, Falkenhayn aimed to kill so many French soldiers that it would break French morale and force their surrender. Verdun almost fell but for the efforts of Petain, it could confirm broken the French army. The German government recorded the Verdun offensive as a victory due to the French having sustained heavier losses. The advance on Verdun brought forward the British led offensive on the Somme. For the Germans, the Somme helped to create the myth that the German army could not be defeated. The defences of the Hindenburg logical argument were formidable and the massive artillery barrage that lasted a week did nought to break it. The barely touched or harmed German defenders decimated the advancing British and French soldiers. The first day of the Somme remains the worst day in the British armys history. Allied failure to make a breakthrough in the Somme helped to keep Germany fighting and also morale and trustfulness high (Bourne, Liddle Whitehead, 2001, p. 459).However, the most decisive battle of 1916 was at sea, the battle of Jutland. The Germans claimed victory as they had inflicted heavier losses upon the Royal Navy. The Germans claimed that their ships were demote built, more up to date, and thus were superior, as were the gunnery skills of the German crews. The German navy and the German government did not make public that Jutland had almost been a disaster. The Germans had planned to amount of money the superior numbers of the Royal Navy by isolating units from the main British fleet by sinking them all. Instead of that, the Germans met up with the perfect Grand Fleet. Only nightfall and the cautious approach of the British admirals prevented the Royal Navy destroying the High Seas Fleet. After Jutland, the Royal Navy maintained its waste blockade against Germany. From then on the only German naval flagellum came from its submarine force, and the crews of the High Seas Fleet would prove more of a ne mesis towards the German government than the Royal Navy (Kennedy, 1976, p.247).During the First World War the German government controlled what newspapers could publish, the press did not normally publicise formal casualty or fatality figures, discuss food and fuel shortages or mention anti-war protests. The German government vetted all public theatre or musical performances, whilst the countrys 7,500 cinemas could only show German made films that were considered patriotic. Hollywood films were banned as culturally unsound even before the United States entered the war. German cinemas did show newsreel footage of the war from 1917, yet that footage was restricted in the images that were shown. Germany produced less propaganda articles or posters than Britain or France. German news coverage and propaganda lacked effectiveness compared to British propaganda. The German government was hampered due to the political parties being unable to agree upon the countrys war aims, there was disa greement as to whether they were fighting a war of containment or fighting for financial or territorial gains (Stevenson, 2004, p.277). The German government seemed merely to tell the German media what it could not grade or broadcast that it missed the opportunity to ensure that propaganda and instruction was presented in the most effective manner. The government left the decision of how to present information about the progress of the war to the newspaper editors. The style of writing and presentation of newspapers were adapted to the tastes of the people that brought the newspapers. To a certain extent official information and propaganda was able to disguise bad news from the front yet perhaps it was only effective due to wishful thinking or naivety on the home front. German propaganda and censorship however could not hide food shortage form the German people, those that were not in the army or did not live in agricultural areas had to make do with 50% less food than in 1914. It was also challenging to cover up increasing political divisions over the conduct of the war. peradventure foolishly the government had not banned public discussions about national war aims, or whether Germany should find ways to end the war through peace talks. The government could not hide the splits of the Social Democratic fellowship either. The most left wing of the Social Democratic splinter groups was very outspoken about Germanys chances of winning the war and called for ending it as soon as thinkable. During the course of the First World War, German newspapers changed in size and in the actual print types used. Although smaller newspapers with simpler print types whitethorn boast pleased readers such changes owed more to shortages of paper than altered graphic design or attempts to make propaganda more effective (Stevenson, 2004, p.279).The German government had great confidence that its submarines or zeps could get Britain out of the war by breaking its Atlantic supp ly lines. At first the German navy had stuck to the rules of war, only naval ships were sunk on sight, merchandiser ships were inspected and all crews were usually evacuated before sinking the ships. The Royal Navy responded by arming merchant ships and victimisation Q ships, these were warships disguised as merchant ships to sink unsuspecting U-boats (a outline that worked well but broke international maritime law). U-boat commanders retaliated by sinking ships if they believed them to be armed or carrying war supplies. The German government convinced the German public that its U-boats were providing heroic services and could even win the war. However, the U-boats caused controversy with the sinking of the liner Lusitania in May 1915 with the loss of over 1,000 lives, including many Americans. German propaganda that the Lusitania was carrying munitions was not widely received as much as British denials were. The Germans sink on sight policy was dropped to prevent United States entry in to the war (Rayner Stapley, 2006, p.105). The Germans returned to unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917, arguing it was a morally justified measure in response to the Royal Navy blockade of Germany. The German U-boats initially caused clayey shipping losses that threatened British food and war supplies. The U-boat campaign helped to bring the US into the war against Germany, British propaganda was very effective in persuading American public opinion to support entry into the war. The German government however, could welcome increased its chances of victory by improving the efficacy of German industry and agriculture. The German failure to fully mobilise their resources disproved their claims of modernity and efficiency (Hobsbawm, 1994, p.28).Despite the failure of the U-boat campaign to eliminate Britain from the First World War, the Germans still had chances to win the war. The collapse of the Tsarist regime in Russia presented the German military with opportunities t o win the war before the United States could interfere decisively. The Russian Provisional Government carried on fighting against Germany, although the October Revolution that brought the Bolsheviks to power effectively ended the fighting on the Eastern front (Bullock, 1991, p.69). The Russian exit from the war allowed Hindenburg and Ludendorff to transfer army units from the Eastern to the Western Front for the Spring offensive of 1918 (which they knew was their last chance to win the war). There was the drawback that part of the German army and navy became attracted to revolutionary ideas as a means to end the war and bring fundamental political changes to Germany (Fulbrook, 1991, p.22). Hindenburg and Ludendorff knew something that the German governments propaganda kept from the public the spring offensive was the last harbor of the dice. Although the spring offensive gave the German army its furthest advances in the West since August 1914, it failed to break the Allies and end the war. The failure of the spring offensive meant that Germany could only lose the war. Hindenburg and Ludendorff found civilian politicians to seek armistice to end the war. They hoped that these civilians would take the blame for the defeat, which is just what happened. The same generals that failed to win the war blasted the people left to pick up the bust pieces of Imperial Germany for their failures. Hindenburg and Ludendorff invented the mythology of the stab in the back that so undermined the Weimar Republic (Brendon, 2000, p.9).Germanys defeat came as a bitter shock to the majority of the German population as the governments strict censorship of bad news and its attempts at propaganda had convinced the majority of German people that defeat was not possible or indeed likely in the near future. Propaganda and censorship made it appear that Germany was in a stronger position than was actually the case. Government bulletins had deceived people into believing that the sacrific es and losses would be worth it once victory had been achieved. The bulletins gave an in conclusion false impression that German victory was at hand. This was especially the case when the spring offensive made its initial gains. If the majority of the population had not believed wartime propaganda then the myth of the stab in the back would not have gained so much currency in subsequent years after the war (Bourne, Liddle Whitehead, 2001, p.460). The truth was that the First World War exhausted Germany, the modernity of its army, navy and its weak allies, inefficient organisation, and the effects of the Royal Navy blockade nullified industry. The German army and the navy were affected by Communist and revolutionary impulses. The German armys morale was lowered as a result of the spring offensives, soldiers found out that the Allied armies were better fed and equipped than they were (Brendon, 2000, p.8). The army was broken after August 1918 and in non-stop retreat. It had not been defeated, although the arrival of large numbers of American troops and the surrender of Austria meant that defeat was inevitable (Holmes, 1999 p.213). The stab in the back myth had no basis in reality, yet it would endure long enough to severely undermine the viability of the Weimar Republic due to millions of Germans believing it (Fulbrook, 1991, p.23).Chapter 2Mythology Modernity during the Weimar RepublicSome of Imperial Germanys most gifted artists, architects, and writers had fought in the First World War. Although some of them had held left wing political opinions, they had not avoided military service. Amongst the influential modernists that served in the war was the painter Paul Klee. Paul Klee went on to survive the conflict, whilst his fellow artists Franz Marc and August Macke were killed in action. Marc and Macke had both been talented modernist painters. They had been in a group with Wassily Kandinsky they had decided to call Der Blaue Reiter or in English, The sombe r Rider. This small group of artists favoured a strand of modernity referred to as outline (Faerna, 2000 p. 8). It has been argued that the experiences of military service had the affect of radicalising those that returned from the front. In the case of Germany, her veterans were drawn towards either the rabidly nationalist ring wing groups such as the Nazi party, or they were drawn towards the revolutionary left. Amidst the debris of a war shattered country the old monarchy was replaced by the Weimar Republic. As a matter of coincidence the centre of excellence for the modernists in Weimar era Germany, the Bauhaus school was also founded in Weimar during 1919 (Hobsbawm, 1994 p. 179). In many respects the founders of the Bauhaus school had similar political, social, and ethical ideologies to those that had drafted the constitution of the Weimar Republic. Like the architects of the Weimar Republic, the founders of the Bauhaus favoured modernity, cultural diversity, and they were int ernationalist in outlook (James, 2003 p. 85).History has certainly not been kind to the Weimar Republic, Germanys first taste of liberal democracy that was scorned by millions of Germans, as well as being beset by major political and economic weaknesses particularly after the Great Depression. The collapse of the monarchy had allowed the Weimar Republic to be created to the decidedly inauspicious background of military defeat, an obligate peace treaty and political unrest at home. The optimism of pre-war Imperial Germany had been shattered by the time the First World War had finished (James, 2003, p.73).The Weimar Republic had a very liberal constitution with left wing and centre parties supporting the new system. The Weimar Republic was not at first accepted by the Communists or right wing nationalist parties. The new German state lacked the economic dynamism of Imperial Germany, especially as the Ruhr valley industry output was harnessed to the French economy. The Germans protes ted about the reparations enforced upon them by the Treaty of Versailles. The Versailles settlement was intended to strip Germany of the power to wage war again, the army was cut down to 100,000 men, and the high command was abolished. The German navy was reduced to a weak coastal defence force banned from having submarines. Germany was also banned from having an airforce. The Allies had hoped to break militarism in Germany, yet only caused displeasure amongst the German people. Resentment of the Versailles settlement fuelled dislike of the Weimar Republic, although the government could not have rejected the treaty. Germany simply did not have the military, human, or economic resources to have carried on fighting which was why Ludendorff had brought civilians into the government in the first place, to use as fall guys for the armys failure to win the war (Shirer, 1988, p.32).However fragile the political and economic situation was in the Weimar era, Germany was certainly not a cul tural or artistic backwater. In fact, Germany during the republican period gained an international renown for its cultural and artistic achievements. Some of these cultural and artistic trends had existed before the First World War others such as the Bauhaus civilise most closely linked with Walter Gropius flourished in this period (Fulbrook, 1991, p.39). very much of the cultural diversity witnessed during the Weimar Republic fits into the concepts of modernity. Walter Gropius, Thomas Mann, and Arnold Schonberg were notable members of the German modernist audacious who got their best opportunities to fully express themselves after the First World War (Hobsbawm, 1994, p.179). German avant-garde modernism was influenced by two American imports after the First World War, cinematic films, and jazz music. The Weimar Republic had a well-situated filmmaking sector, although it could not match the production levels or profits generated by Hollywood. Hollywood studios, especially Univer sal Studios liked to use ideas from relatively unknown German films, such as Frankenstein. Even before the Nazis took power and repressed the degenerate elements of modernity German technicians and filmmakers could always find work in Hollywood. Gropius and the Bauhaus linked itself with jazz music, which they regarded as the height of modernity in musical terms. The right wing politicians and extreme nationalists disliked jazz due to its Black American origin, as much as for its musical merits (Hobsbawm, 1994, pp.184-85).The Bauhaus School membership was almost entirely made up of left wing sympathisers who preferred the new republic to the old monarchy.The Social Democrats retained their anterior popularity but the new Weimar Republic actually allowed it a share of power. The greater freedoms that were allowed under the Republican regime would mean that the Bauhaus and other centres of German modernity were not only linked with Socialism or Marxism, they were also linked with Ger manys moral degeneration. Places where new culture was stronger, especially Berlin, were frequently resented for moral decadence and politically subversive views. The Bauhaus also tried to change the print types used in German newspapers and their own printed material. This was partly to make the graphic design better to look at as well as to save resources which traditional print types used more of (Fulbrook, 1991, p.41). For instance, Lyonell Feininger taught at the Bauhaus, yet had previously been a cartoonist that had gained a reputation for producing hard hitting political satire in his newspaper cartoons. Whilst working for the Bauhaus Feininger went on to become a highly skilled painter and woodcutter. His work reflected that the influence of the Cubist social movement remained strong throughout his career (www.articons.co.uk). Wassily Kandinsky had been a founding member of the Blaue Reiter before the First World War forced his return to his native Russia. Whilst at the Bau haus, Kandinsky did some of his finest work most notably the Kleine Welten of 1922. He broadened his artistic horizons, whilst using his skills as a graphic designer to produce stage sets and histrionics costumes (www.articons.co.uk). Laszlo Moholy-Nagy came up with some innovative photographic techniques that later became widely used in journalistic graphic design. These techniques produced photographic quality pictures without the need to use a camera which MoholyNagy referred to as photograms. Moholy Nagy became a film producer, as well as further developing photograms to be incorporated into printed text (Crystal, 1998 p. 652). detest of the new democratic Germany was not just confined to extreme nationalist groups, teachers, civil servants, as well as the Catholic and Protestant churches were untrusting if not downright hostile towards the Weimar Republic. The political, social and ethical decadence of the Weimar Republic came to a head in 1923. This year was when the French occupied the Ruhr vale and also when Germany was devastated by hyperinflation. Hyperinflation brought misery to millions of ordinary Germans it made wages, savings, and pensions worthless. Millions turned in desperation towards the Communists, but also for the first time the Nazi party. Hyperinflation was the event, which also saw Adolf Hitler brought to national attention, after the failed putsch in Munich during November 1923. Hitler skilfully used his trial to publicly express the aims of the Nazi party. Germanys severe economic problems also prompted American recovery packages that gave the Weimar Republic the appearance of political and economic stability (Brendon, 2000, pp.29-30). Domestically, stability seemed to be achieved under th

Management of pre menstrual syndrome

Management of pre menstrual syndromeThis chapter give births a brief account of display study conclusion which is draw from the findings. The implication is highlighted in various areas- nursing practice, nursing education, nursing formation and nursing research. And also it clarifies the limitations, suggestions and gives recommendation for future study.SUMMARY OF THE STUDYThe target of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Planned treat Intervention on management of Pre Menstrual Syndrome (premenstrual syndrome) in terms of intensity of tokens, knowledge and perspective among college girls in a conveyed educational institution, Salem.Rosenstochs Health Belief Model was selected as conceptual frame work for this study. An evaluative approach, pre experimental one assort pre test, post-test was used for the study. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used to select the samples and the samples size was 30.Tools were made from book references, net refere nces and previous experiences of the researcher. Content rigourousness obtained from 5 experts (3 nursing and 2 medical personnel) Reliability of the tool was estimated by split half method for knowledge questionnaire r= 0.82, Likerts scale by split half method r= 0.82, it shows that the tool was reliable.After which a pilot study was conducted among 3 samples. Fol impoverisheding that actual data accretion was done with the same tool. On day 1, the researcher screened 100 college girls with check tool to know no. of them experiencing PMS. It revealed that out of 100, 64 of them had PMS, among them 30 of them were recruited as samples as majority of them had 5 or more than 5 symptoms (3 carnal and 1emotional and 1 behavioural symptom). Following that from the recruited samples pre-test was done. Demographic data was collected by self report method and intensity of symptoms was assessed exploitation (0-10) Numerical order Scale, knowledge was assessed with structure knowledge q uestionnaire and attitude of PMS was assessed employ the 5 points Likerts scale. On the same day researcher taught planned nursing preventative on management of PMS for about 20-30 minutes. A pamphlet was disposed emphasizing on specific measures of PMS management. Along with that a dismission dairy was given to each individual to specify the symptoms and their intensity during PMS for consecutive 3 racks. On 15th day post-test was carried out using the same tools A concise data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics.MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDYI. Demographic VariablesThe analysis shows that 73.33% were in the age group of 21-25 years.Based on family monthly income 53.3%were under the course of 2001 5000 rupees.Those who attained menarche at the age group of 13-14 were 73.34%In regards to food habits 76.67% were non vegetarian.Regarding burden in kg about 73.34% were in the group of 41-60 kilogramAmong samples 56.67% of them inform that their sisters had family h/o PMS.100% says that they dont take own medicationsDuring PMS 90%says that they dont take any home remediesII. Findings related to Effective Planned Nursing Interventiona) Intensity of symptomsMajority of symptoms experienced by samples were (Abdominal cark, pimples, tiredness, irritability, inadequate sleep, anxiety, irritability, low grit suffering)Least experienced symptoms were (Diff in concentrating, joint ail, calf muscle pain, knocker tenderness, headache, nausea, palpitation, mood swing, withdrawal from environment, food craving, swelling of extremities, fever). Description of each symptom which was experienced by more than 10 samples were discussed as followsIn pre-test abdominal pain was relegate for 25 samples among that 36.00% had mild pain, 28.00% had unemotional pain, 28.00% had severe pain and 8.00% had intolerable pain. In I daily round abdominal pain was extradite for 23 samples among them 44.44% had mild pain, 44.44% had discuss pain, and 1 1.12% had severe pain. In II roulette wheel 22 samples had abdominal pain, among them 45.45% had mild pain, 40.90% had moderate pain 13.64% had severe pain. In terce cycle 76.19% had mild pain, 14.29% had moderate pain and 9.52% had severe pain.In pre-test pimples were present for 21 samples among them 50.00% had mild, 35.00% had moderate and 15.00% had severe. In I cycle Pimples were present for 21 samples among them 61.90% had mild, 33.34% had moderate and 4.76% had severe. In II cycle 6.50% had mild, 25.00% had moderate, 5.00% had severe and 5.00% had Intolerable.

The Awareness Of Point Of Sale Information Technology Essay

The Aw atomic number 18ness Of situation Of sale Information technology EssayPoint of cut-rate sale is a mastermind where transaction occurs in exchange for services and goods. The point of sale refers to the physical electronic exchange register or dedicated Point of trade hardwargon physical exertion during checkout, but the POS is simply the location where the sale is conducted, money changes get through with(predicate)s and a pass along a is given, which throw out overly occur on a smart-phones, tablets, laptops or mobile POS device when the right hardw be and POS software is combine with the mobile devices.It is a organisation allowing business transaction to be monitored, and also facilitating tasks that would a nonher(prenominal)wise be m-consuming when they are do manually much(prenominal)(prenominal) as monitoring stock, muniment managing, etc. POS also refers to the capturing of data and client payment information at counter when goods or services are bo ught and sold. The POS transaction are captured victimisation a variety of devices which include computers, cash registers, optical and bar code scanners, magnetic board readers, or distributively combination of these devices.This is the physical location from wheregoodsaresoldtothe clients. Point ofsaleis often to a greater extent specific than ageneralbuilding or storewhere goods are sold, typically indicating the piece oftechnologywhich is employ to nail down thetransaction. They are seen as astandardcash registerat thefrontof the store such as, at a restaurant, grocery store, shop malls, etc. The point of sale can also be an electronic dodgingwhich are utilised by the staff formultiple tendencys, such as ringing upordersas well as generating thereceiptand finalizing purchases.Devices UsedThe computer software and the register are not the only(prenominal) devices exercised in POS formations. Devices such as bar code scanners are as important to use the POS system effe ctively. Magnetic card readers are used for account and credit cards and optical scanners that examine the tendency itself for signatures and images. All these fork over diametric sets of data to the computer which can be used to cut across sales more accurately.POS systems can be truly expensive. Small businesses volition need to invest several thousand of dollars for the system, effective bar code system, scanner and software needed to consort the POS system. regular when a POS system is set up, the data it produces does no good unless(prenominal) managers and marketers screw how to use it effectively and efficiently.Literature ReviewPOS (Point of change) systems are common landly used in retail stores, restaurants, stadiums, hotels and casinos, etc. The basic use of these systems is to scan items for purchase, place in order and calculate the bills. They are usually industry specific.What can Point Of gross revenue System do?* Track all elements of apiece order, fr om payment, design details, deli rattling date and months in advance.* Customer Information It automatically records the customers name, credit card information, address and what they bought and when.* Customer Relations Everything regarding the customers purchases can be immediately called upon from the system. This shamblings handling returns, payments and other proceedings easier even if the customer has misplaced the paper hit. In a multi-store environment it does not matter which store the customer goes to. All the information are available at all the stores.* armory Control The computer keep an eye ons record of the stores inventory. This makes the POS terminals attached to it, automatically update the inventory with every sale or return. This helps the person in multi-inventories keep track of any stock is going to get over. The fundamental office distinguishs at all times how much stock each store has.* farm animal Analysis The system is able to calculate at what rate each item is selling at all times, making it easy to square off what quantity has to be purchased.* Reduce Out of Stock In sheath in that location is low stock, Low stock reports and purchase orders are generated automatically with enough lead time to receive goods.* Bar code consolidation Various bar-code reading devices can be used in uniting with shelf stocking, wareho victimisation and at the sales terminal. This will create a speedy entry and reduce human error.* Warranty Tracking The time and date of purchase are automatically recorded. This information can be intimately retrieved from the system within seconds. Warranty issues can be easily handled by stores other than the one where the purchase was made.* Special Pricing gross sales and specials discounts are easily controlled. Starting and end dates can be designate to the crossways or product groups and the system will automatically handle them.* changes Commissions The commissions are automatically calcula ted and reported by the system. Different product lines can carry different commissions. Later commissions can be automatically reduced if the sales-person discounts an item.* Profit Center / Product Line Control It is very easy to set up both profit centers and product lines. This makes track performance of individual sales managers and product line profitability easy.* story The Point of Sale system is completely integrated with full break down accounting (Inventory, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and General Ledger) thus making the books always up-to-date. No hand entries by book-keeping staff are required. In a multi-store environment the central office always has the accounts for each individual store in authoritative time and can produce consolidated accounting reports as well.* selective information Export The data files and reports can be exported from the POS system for use with other software when there is need.* Data Import Part number lists, customer lists a nd other bulk information from outside sources can be trade into the POS system without resorting to hand entry.* Manager Control The manager has complete annoy and control to the store or chain of stores at any time of day or night. He can even do store minutes locally.* Security Levels The Employees are only allowed the access assigned to their give-and-take only.* Loss Prevention Record keeping is so thorough and acquit that any employee theft of inventory or received cash, even if sprucely disguised can be detected and traced.Need of the conTo eff the train of use of POS system among the students of Amity University, Noida.To know the cognisantness of POS among the students.To know the amount of use of POS system among the students of Amity.Objective of the compositionThe objective of the weigh here is to know the use and sense of the POS system among the students.The amount of use of POS transactions by the students during different courses of purchases.To increase the direct of knowledge of POS system among the students.To find out the reasons why POS system is not used in case of both awareness and non-awareness.Rationale behind the field of battleThe heading of POS system in various Malls or stores has become a common sight in todays market. People make their purchases mainly employ debit/credit cards in place if paper cash. How does this POS system work? The person making the payment through his card is debited an amount which is the prise of the price of the product he is purchasing from the store. This amount is directly ascribe into the account of the store, form which ever banking concern it has opened its account with. Since there is no exchange of paper money, transactions takes place in a few seconds, making it less time consuming and less dexterity involved. On the customers side he does not accommodate the pain of carrying manipulate cash with him.This wide use of POS system brings us to a study of whether this facility is aware to the young minds of the future leaders and entrepreneurs.The research melodic theme will study how much are the students aware just more or less the POS system that are available in the market. With both the room of cash and card purchases available, it will see what is used more often and why. It will study the positive as well as the negative impacts in the minds of the students utilize the system and also who dont use it. The level of awareness of both the group of people who use and who dont will be required to obtain, which will provide the researcher to obtain the final result.Research MethodologyResearch system Descriptive research sampling method Convenience SamplingSampling size 200Sampling Universe Student of Amity University, Noida heavens 125.Data accumulate PrimaryStatistical tool Analysis Microsoft Excel.Data Collection Method Data will be collected through the distribution of questionnaires and interaction with the students. After the questionnaire s are filled up as required and obtaining the required number of responses, it will be canvass to establish the necessary findings.Primary Data The data will be collected by the means of tidy sum which will be done on the basis of various interactions with the students. A questionnaire prepared by the researcher will also be given to the responder who will be change up the necessary questions. This set of questions will later be analyzed to obtain the required result.HypothesisNullH0 the students are aware about the Point of Sales system substituteH1 The students are not aware about the Point of Sales system.NullH0 The students use the POS systemAlternativeH1 The students do not use the POS system.Data Analysis and Interpretation stop consonant of using a bank accountRespond Frequency pctLess than 6 months 117 58.5%Between 6 months to 1 year 35 17.5%1 to 2 age 27 13.5%More than 2 years 21 10.5%According to the data collected from the survey, it was bring that most of the stude nts had their accounts operational from two years and above. The others had accounts opened just a few months bet on or a year.Mode of Purchases more frequently used reception Frequency PercentageCash Purchase 52 26% display board Purchase 148 74%The research Survey shows that majority of the students used the mode of cash payment. Card payment was also used but at a lower scale. When asked why, their reply would be because they felt more well-heeled using cash other than cards. Their main reason for not using card payments was wishing of guarantor and confidence.Awareness on Point of Sale systemResponse PercentageGood 36Average 38Poor 10It has been found that the level of awareness of Point of Sale system among the students were good. Majority of them had an idea or knowledge what exactly a point of sale could do and also were aware about its benefits as well as its short-comings. There were very less percentage of students who had less or no knowledge a all of the POS systems .Frequency of using Debit/Credit CardResponse Frequency Percentage everlastingly 32 16%Very Frequently 60 30% on occasion 42 21%Rarely 20 10%Very seldomNever 10 5%The survey shows us that the use of POS is very frequently used.

The facility o cash transfers are the least used.Satisfaction of using Point of Sale systemResponse Frequency PercentageStrongly Agree 20 10%Agree 60 30%Neutral 30 15%Disagree 5 2.5%Strongly disagreeThe level of satisfaction among the students using POS system has been agreed by a majority. A neutral tone is followed by the students who has been aware and using this service. Also a strong level of satisfaction is also found among the sampled sized.Reason for not using Point of Sale systemLack of advertizement5Lack of recreate15No use4Lack of security10Lack of confidence10Any other2The survey studied the various reasons why some of the students were not using this POS system when it made transactions so much easier. The main reason for this was receivable to the Lack of interest in the minds of the students. This was followed lack of security and interest. Lack of advertisement was another reason for causing a low awareness among the students.FindingsThe level of awareness about the POS system among the students is good.The use of this system is also found at a good scale among the students who are aware about the POS system.Though the level of awareness is good, some students still do not use as frequently as expected due to different reasons.The use of POS system is more among the group of students who have opened their bank accounts from 2 years and above. Stud ents using accounts below a year have lesser use.Reason for lack of awareness is mainly because of not having a account for themselves.Another reason for not using this system is the lack of proper advertisements, lack of confidence and security.The POS system is mainly used for the purpose of shopping and online purchases by the students. They are more comfortable with these simple transactions that the POS offers.SuggestionsBanks and any other financial institutions providing this facility should make the effort of educating the POS system to its customers.Effective advertisements should be made in order to make the customers more aware of the system available.The Lack of security and confidence among the customers can be eradicated by using effective softwares that are immune to hackers and other flaws. tight-laced education should be implanted in the minds of the consumers in order to make them aware as well as use this facility.Adequate on sight experience from frequent users c an also be done to motivate the individuals who do not use due to various reasons. finishThe study of the topic Study on Awareness of Point of Sale system among the students of Amity University, Sector 125 found that a medium-large number of students are aware about the presence of POS systems around them. many a(prenominal) use them because they are convenient and easy. Others though they have the knowledge and awareness are still hesitated to use them for various reasons.The Point of Sale system has made transactions operating in various stores very devalued and efficient. They not only provide the benefit of cash less transactions but also keep track of every product or product group in the stores. This information helps the store manger to keep track of his products in his store and make necessary purchases before they run out of stock. Countries like USA mostly use this facility on a very large scale.Thus the final conclusion to this study was that the level of awareness of the POS system among the students is above average. In order to fire it more, a good amount of work in the field of advertisements and security has to be done. The above few reasons were the most prominent for its non use by certain people. It is only when they use the system they will realize the benefits of it.

Flow in Pipe Network Analysed Using Hardy Cross Method

range in Pipe Network Analysed Using bald-faced sub due MethodTable of Contents1.0 Introduction2.0 Procedure for unfearing home run rule3.0 Flow in Pipe Network analysed victimization Hardy Cross order4.0 Advantages5.0 Conclusion6.0 References1.0 IntroductionPiping networks gravel quite a wide range of interoperable applications, from water and attack dispersion systems to air conditioning installations. Although ingenuous problems, such as for instance, a single branch connecting two reservoirs, may be solved analytically, more complex network problems need an iterative approach, recurring to a digital computer. The most popular method for solving this type of problems is the Hardy-Cross method. The Hardy Cross method is an iterative method for determining the feast in holler network systems where the input and output pay heeds are known, but the liquefy at bottom the network is unknown. Also, the holler length, diameter, roughness and other key characteristic s should be known. in the first place the method was introduced, solving complex tube systems for distribution was extremely challenging due to the nonlinear relationship between moderate loss and menses.water system distribution system models brook become very important and practical tool for civil channelizes. Models are often utilise to optimize the design of new distribution systems or analyze major extensions or modifications to lively distribution systems. The introduction of the Hardy Cross method for analyzing pipe flow networks revolutionizedmunicipal water supply design (Pdhengineer.com, 2014).The Hardy Cross method is normally used as the pipe network compendium by most engineers. Computer models help engineers to solve difficult situations, namelyWhat is the maximum send packing flow at a habituated point in the system?How long bottom of the inning that fire flow be provided for?What coat pipe installation would be necessary between two points in a system to increase the pressure at one of the points to the tokenish pressure required?If a subdivision or commercial ripening is built, will adequate pressures and flows exist? If non, what length and size of water mains must(prenominal) be upgraded by the developer to allow for the proposed construction?2.0 Procedure for Hardy Cross methodThis method is applicable to closed- eyehole pipe networks. The outflows from the system are fabricated to occur at the nodes, where a node is the end of each pipe. This premiss would therefore result uniform flow in the pipelines distribution systems.The Hardy-Cross analysis is base on the principles thatAt each junction, the total inflow must be equal to total outflow.Head balance criterion algebraical sum of the head losses a complete any closed-loop is zero.For a given pipe system, with known junction outflows, the Hardy-Cross method is an iterative procedure based on initially estimated flows in pipes. Estimated pipe flows are corrected wi th looping until head losses in the clockwise direction and in the sinistral direction are equal within each loop.A mental test distribution is doarbitrarily but in such a way that perseveration equating is comfortable at each juction.With the assumed value of Q, the head loss in each pipe is calculated according to the equationWhere head lossr head loss per unit flown flow exponentThe net headloss round each loop is calculated.If the net head loss due to assumed values of Q round the loop is zero, then the assumed values of Q in that loop are correct. If this is not the case, then the assumed values of Q are corrected by including a correction Q for the flows till the circuit is balanced.The correction agentive role Q is obtained byFor turbulent flow, the value of n=2 and hence the correction factor becomesIf the value of Q is positive, then it is added to the flow in the clockwise direction and subtracted from the flows in the anticlockwise direction.After the correction have been applied to each pipe in a loop and to all loops, a second exertion calculation is made for all loops. This procedure is repeated till Q becomes negligible.3.0 Flow in Pipe Network analysed apply Hardy Cross method4.0 AdvantagesThe Hardy Cross method is useful because it relies on only simple math, circumventing the need to solve a system of equations. Without the Hardy Cross methods, engineers would have to solve complex systems of equations with variable exponents that cannot easily be solved by hand.The Hardy Cross method iteratively corrects for the mistakes in the initial guess used to solve the problem. Subsequent mistakes in calculation are also iteratively corrected. If the method is followed correctly, the proper flow in each pipe can unruffled be found if small mathematical errors are consistently made in the process.This method is based on the successive addition of flow-rate corrections in each branch, in order to achieve satisfaction of postcode conservat ion along every path in the network.The easiness of construct a new network or modifying an existing one allows the engineer to readily observe how small changes in the network configuration may produce interesting results such as a flow turnabout in a certain branch.5.0 ConclusionDistribution system is a network of pipelines that distribute water to the consumers. They are designed to adequately sate the water requirement for a combination of domestic, commercial, industrial and fire conflict purposes.In any pipe network, the algebraic sum of pressure drops around a closed loop must be zero (there can be no discontinuity in pressure) as well as the flow entering a junction must be equal to the flow leaving that junction i.e. the law of continuity must be satisfied (Nptel.ac.in, 2014).A good distribution system should provide adequate water pressure at the consumers taps for a specific rate of flow. The pressures should not only be great enough to adequately meet fire fighting n eeds, but should also not be excessive due to pressure leakages which is cost-effective. However, in tall buildings, booster pumps are required to advertize the water to upper floors. Moreover, distribution system of purified water should be completely water-tight and the purity of distributed water should be maintained. Maintenance of the distribution system should be easy and economical. Even, during breakdown periods of pipeline, water should remain available. If a particular pipe length is under repair and has been shut down, the water to the population financial backing in the down-stream side of this pipeline should be available from other pipeline. The distribution pipes systems should not be placed under highways, carriage ways as they will obstruct any traffic flow, but should be determined under foot paths.Figure 1 Pipe network for municipal water distribution systems in cities (Scribd.com, 2014)6.0 ReferencesGupta, R.K., 2005.

Project management principles

confound instruction principles interpolation of take to wariness throw up charge is a planned and structured effort to reach an objective or is the process of managing, allocating, and timing available resources to achieve the sought after goal of a witness in an efficient and expedient manner, for proto token, creating a new system or constructing a externalise. Project counsel is astray recognized as a practical way of ensuring that drops see objectives and intersections ar delivered on clipping, within budget and to correct quality specification, while at the same time controlling or maintaining the scope of the forecast at the correct level.Project management includes developing a enter plan, which includes delimitate and confirming the jutting goals and objectives, identifying occupations and how goals pull up stakes be achieved, quantifying the resources needed, and determining budgets and timelines for completion. It also includes managing the carrying out of the drop plan, along with operating regular controls to ensure that there is hi-fi and objective in mixed bagation on performance relative to the plan, and the mechanisms to implement convalescence actions where necessary. Projects usually follow major phases or stages (with various titles for these), including feasibility, definition, couch mean, implementation, military rank and complement/maintenanceHistoryProject management has been practiced since the early civilization. Until 1900 civil engineering upchucks were generally managed by creative architects and engineers by their selves, among those for example Christopher Wren (1632-1723) , Thomas Telford (1757-1834) and Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859) It has been since the 1950s, that organizations started applying systemic stand out management tools and techniques to composite pouchs.Henry Gantt (1861-1919), the contract of intend and control techniques. As a discipline, Project Management developed from diverse fields of application including construction, engineering and defense. In the United States, the two forefathers of brook management argon Henry Gantt, called the father of planning and control techniques, who is famously ac noesisd for his use of the Gantt chart as a look management tool, and Henri Fayol for his creation of the 5 management functions, which form the basis for the body of knowledge related with project and program management. two Gantt and Fayol were known as being students of Frederick Winslow Taylors theories of scientific management. His institute is the forerunner to groundbreaking project management tools including work breakdown structure (WBS) and resource allocation. dominions of project management The Success PrincipleThe main goal of project management is to create a masteryful growth. Without making a achieverful fruit there is no good point in incurring the project Management overhead cost. opposing to conventional wisdom, there have b een umteen Projects that have been On time and within budget but the product has not been successful, and similarly mevery that have not been On time and within budget yet the product has been very successful.The Commitment PrincipleA mutually acceptable assurance between a project sponsor and a project aggroup mustiness exist forward a viable project exists. A project sponsor is a knowledgeable person in place of the eventual owner of the product of the project and who is trusty for providing the necessary resources (mvirtuosoy, goods, services, and general direction, as appropriate.) A project team is a knowledgeable and qualified group capable and uncoerced to undertake the work of the project. A mutually acceptable assurance is whizz in which there is agreement on the goals and objectives of the project in monetary value of the products scope, quality grade, time to completion and final cost.The Tetrad-Tradeoff PrincipleThe core variables of the project management proce ss, namely product scope, quality grade, time-to-produce and cost-to-complete must all be mutually consistent. The core variables of scope, quality, time and cost atomic number 18 interrelated preferably similar to a four-cornered frame with flexible joints. One corner hind end be anchored and another moved, but not without affecting the other two. The basal Communication Channel (or Unity-of-Command) PrincipleA undivided channel of conference must exist between the project sponsor and the project team leader for all decisions affecting the result of the project. This principle is essential for the effectual and efficient administration of the project Commitment. The owner of the eventual product, if represented by more than one Person, must nevertheless speak with one voice. Similarly, at any given time, the projects team must have a single point of responsibility, a project manager, for the work of the project. Such person must have the skills, experience, dedication, commi tment, authority and tenacity to lead the project to success.The Cultural environs (or Suitability) PrincipleAn informed management must provide a subservient cultural environment to enable the Project team to produce its high hat work. An informed management is one which understands the project management process.A confirming cultural environment is one in which the project is clearly approve by management, and plan team members are enabled to produce their outgo work without unnecessary bureaucratic hindrance. This rule includes the need for management to ensure that the leadership profile and management style are suited to both the fibre of project and its phase in the project life-cycle.The Process Principle powerful and efficient policies and procedures must be in place for the conduct of the project commitment. Such policies and procedures must cover, at a minimum, clear roles and responsibilities, delegation of authority, and processes for managing the scope of work, including changes, maintenance of quality, and schedule and cost control.The Life-Cycle PrinciplePlan first, then do. A successful project management process relies on two activities planning first, and then doing. These two sequential activities form the basis of every project life-cycle, and can be expanded to suit the control requirements of every type of project in every area of project management application. The project life-cycle, characterized by a series of milestones determines when the project starts, the control gates by which it must pass, and when the project is finished. Appraise the viability of projects and develop success/ also-ran criteriaIntroductionThere are a some factors to consider in advance any actual projects begin. The project developers must contain steps or project phases, most importantly, the original concept must be determined, and so as feasibility study, business plan, risk assessment, public enquiry, permission, organization, planning, design, procurement, fulfillment, test, handover, economic life. Project managers has the task of monitoring projects to be guided into a success, unfortunately, there are near projects that were not completed on time, over budget or being canceled in the process of building it. In general, there are fix upting surface reasons that are usually found for project failures, these are a few reasons progress out of user involvement, incorrect planning or lack of planning, broken requirements, lack of resources, incorrect estimations. According to the 1994 Standish CHAOS statement there are top 10 factors found in successful projects. These factors are listed in Table belowProject success factorsProject Success Factors % of Responses exploiter Involvement 15.9% Executive Management Support 13.9% Clear Statement of Requirements 13.0% comely Planning 9.6% Realistic Expectations 8.2% Smaller Project Milestones 7.7% Competent staff 7.2% self-control 5.3% Clear Vision and Objectives 2.9% Ha rd-Working, Focused ply 2.4%Some factors that contributed to project will be discussed below utiliser Involvement One of the key to success in a project is user involvement, without the users involvement, it whitethorn pass water of failure to the entire project. Even if the project was delivered on time, and on budget, a project has a high rate of failing if the project does not meet users needs.-Executive Management Support This influences the process and progress of a Project and lack of executive input can put a project at a severe disadvantage.-Clear Statement of Requirements -Proper Planning Proper planning is one of the most important parts of developing a project, having incorrect planning of the project may character a severe disadvantage to the project and result to a failure.-Realistic Expectations Expectations of the project development outcome must be rational. If expectations in developing a project are not accurate, it may cause to a failure in building the proje ct itself.-Smaller Project Milestones One of the things to be needed for a complete success of a project is completing smaller project millstones, the small details of a project should not be disregarded for it may result to a minor failure. If these smaller milestones are not being achieved, it may cause a major worry in the completion of the project.-Competent Staff Staff members play the biggest role in a project development, without the proper knowledge or skill of a staff member may cause a poor outcome to a development of a project. Staff members should be proper trained and have the proper experience before getting involved with the task that they will be handling during the project development.-Ownership -Clear Vision and Objectives -Hard working Every staff of person that is involved in a project development must be passionate and responsible in achieving objectives. Uncommitted staff members may cause a improper outcome in the building processFirst of all compute out wha t business you are in, and then mind your own business. sort out what business you are in. Make sure your business is viable. direct projects that are good for your business. Understand the business value in your project and watch for changes. Be diligent in your chosen business, learning and applying best practices. Define what is inside and outside your area of responsibility. 50% of project management is simply paying attention.Understand the customers requirements and put them under version control. exhaustively understand and document the customers requirements, obtain customer agreement in writing, and put requirements documents under version identification and change control.

War of 1812 :: American America History

War of 1812War of 1812, conflict between the United States and colossal Britain from 1812 to 1815. Fought over the maritime rights of neutrals, it ended inconclusively.Background Over the course of the french revolutionary and the sleepic wars between France and Great Britain (1793-1815), both hostiles violated the maritime rights of neutral powers. The United States, endeavoring to market its own produce, was especi exclusivelyy affected. To preserve Britains oceanic strength, Royal Navy officers impressed thousands of seamen from U.S. vessels, including naturalized Americans of British origin, claiming that they were either deserters or British subjects. The United States defended its right to naturalize foreigners and challenged the British practice of impress on the high seas. Relations between the two nations reached a time out point in 1807 when the British frigate Leopard fired on the USS Chesapeake in American territorial waters and removed, and later executed, four c rewmen.In addition, Britain issued executive orders in council to blockade the coastlines of the Napoleonic empire and then seized vessels bound for Europe that did non premiere call at a British port. Napoleon retaliated with a similar system of blockades under the Berlin and Milan decrees, confiscating vessels and cargoes in European ports if they had first stop in Britain. Collectively, the belligerents seized nearly 1500 American vessels between 1803 and 1812, thus posing the chore of whether the United States should go to war to defend its neutral rights.Americans at first prepared to respond with economic coercion rather than war. At the spur track of President Thomas Jefferson, Congress passed the Embargo Act of 1807, prohibiting virtually all U.S. ships from putting to sea. Subsequent en force outment measures in 1808-1809 also banned overland change over with British and Spanish possessions in Canada and Florida. Because the legislation seriously harmed the U.S. economy and failed to convert belligerent policies, it was replaced in 1809 by the nary(prenominal)-Intercourse Act, which forbade trade with France and Britain. In 1810 Macons Bill No. 2 reopened American trade with all nations, but stipulated that if one belligerent repealed its antineutral measures, the United States would then impose an embargo against the other.In August Napoleon announced the repeal of the Berlin and Milan decrees on the understanding that the United States would also force Britain to respect its neutral rights. Although Napoleon continued to seize American vessels in French ports, President James Madison accepted his statements as check that French antineutral decrees had been lifted.

Mary Wollstonecrafts A Vindication of the Rights of Women and Harriet

Mary Wollstonecrafts A Vindication of the Rights of Women and Harriet Jacobs Incidents in the heart of a Slave GirlAlthough Mary Wollstonecraft and Harriet Jacobs lived almost 300 old age apart from one another, the basic undercurrent of both of their work is the same. Wollstonecraft was a feministbefore her judgment of conviction and Jacobs was a freed slave who wanted more than than just her own freedom. Wollstonecrafts A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and Jacobs Incidents In the Life of a Slave Girl, Written By Herself-importance were both revolutionist texts that were meant to inspire changeand the discharge of a group of people. For Wollstonecraft, this was women for Jacobs, it wasthe slaves. On the surface, these ii works do not seem to be much related, but it is in this themeof liberation that they are deeply connected. Even though these very contrastive women were writing in two very different worlds, they both still manage to get across the opinion that it is in the tyranny of slavery, mentally or physically, that ones true self is lost. The oppression of a persons free will through the tyranny of slavery or absence of womens rights are virtually the same thing they both suppress a persons natural identity and the only way to liberation is through theeducation and humanization of those being oppressed. The first key idea in both Wollstonecrafts and Jacobs texts is that women and slaves are only defined by those who own them, they cannot define themselves. Both women write of thedehumanization that slaves and women experience. Wollstonecraft says that women in her timeare simply objects of desire, instructed to play the feminine role, ...enfeebled by false refineme... ...ps a person of all dignity and humanity, all free-will gone. In both cases it is impracticable to deny the implications for a loss of identity. If a person is stripped of choice, denied an education, and clever to live within the false restrictions of society, is impossible for them to have an identity. Works CitedJacobs, Harriet.
