...analysis, critical evaluation or professional application; and the ability to solve complex problems and think rigorously and independently. They are awarded after graduation from university.[1] In some languages, a master's degree is called a magister, and magister or a cognate can also be used for a person who has the degree. There are various degrees of the same level, such as engineer's degrees, which have different names for historical reasons. See List of master's degrees. There has recently been an increase in programs leading to these degrees in the United States; more than twice as many of such degrees are now awarded as compared to the 1970s. In Europe, there has been a standardisation of conditions to deliver the master's degrees and most countries present degrees in all disciplines.[2] he two most common titles of master's degrees are the Master of Arts (M.A.) and Master of Science (M.S., MSc, M.Si., or M.Sc.); these may be course-based, research-based, or a mixture of the two. Some universities use the Latin degree names; because of the flexibility of word order in Latin, the Master of Arts and Master of Science may be known as magister artium or artium magister and magister scientiae or scientiae magister, respectively. Harvard University, University of Chicago, and MIT, for example, use A.M. and S.M. for their master's degrees. More commonly, Master of Science often is abbreviated MS or M.S. in the United States,[3] and MSc or M.Sc....

...both physically and mentally. Many claim that contemporary society needs a skill called critical thinking to adapt and survive. Critical thinking is a higher level of intellectual progression that makes use of diverse information, skills and attitudes in interpreting situations and confronting problems. Critical thinking is done by everyone, it is all around us. But how many of us actually understand the critical thinking model created by Browne and Keeley? Critical thinking can only be effective if the one who engages in the process understands the 11 questions and steps created by Browne and Keeley while adapting them to each situation. This paper is an attempt to evaluate and converse the nature of critical thinking as an intellectual process based on the given situation (ex. the memo to evaluate the merit of Ms. Forsythe’s proposal to establish and fund a new leadership development program for junior insurance executives). Critical Thinking: According to Brown and Keeley (2007) critical thinking is an organized intellectual process that an individual undergoes while using all the information that is available from the environment to analyze situations, solve problems, develop logical conclusions, evaluate probabilities, and formulate decisions. Unfortunately, critical thinking is multifaceted and is not a simple process; rather it requires the ability for individuals make use of personal skills, perspectives and values to establish a frame of reference that...

...mediated disease that affects the central nervous system. The bodies immune system attacks normal tissue and/or organs. The attack starts with inflammation against myelin and the cells that make the myelin. Myelin is the insulation that surrounds axons and speeds up nerve impulses. There are multiple symptoms that characterize MS. Double vision, fatigue, numbness and weakness are common traits. Pain in various extremities is common. The actual cause of MS is unknown. There is no cure. There are medications used to help treat the symptoms of MS, such as corticosteriods and interferons. It is diagnosed after an MRI of two different parts of the CNS show lesions that occurred at two separate times. The doctor must rule out any other possible explanation before diagnosing the patient. MS is very stressful for the patient and family. Planning ahead is the best option for families to help them cope with the disease. There are approximately one in seven-hundred and fifty people that have the diagnosis at any given time. MS is more common in temperate areas and unusual in tropical areas. It is extremely rare in Africans. MS is known as a disease of the white matter because the lesions generally appear in the white matter. The location of the lesions dictates the type of deficits that will occur. Scientists believe there are many causes that haven’t been discovered yet. One hypothesis is environmental factors or events such as a virus, bacteria, chemical...

By Jocel Sundiam Ms. Josephine Carillo English IV Chapter 1 The problem its settings Introduction In using figurative language on a poem, many people from different walks of life develop their comprehension ability when it comes to figurative language understanding. Figurative languages challenge our mind by prodding our imagination and we used to know that we need to look beyond literal meaning of the words, in other words, to understand what we read we must be sensitive to the choices of the words of the author. The student’s inability to comprehend figurative language is a potential difficulty that they have to grapple with while studying. This might affect the improvement of their comprehension skills and might also be a great hindrance on reaching their goals in life. Specifically, when you take the courses that is related to languages. The purpose of this study is to show what are the possible outcome on understanding a piece. Understanding a piece is not easy by just getting the meaning of the words in the dictionary alone. The better understanding of the poem is based on how they used their imagination to see the visual interpretation of the poem. The appreciation of the writers emotion can do help a lot on conveying the meaning and message of the poem. This means that the student who understand the background of the writer will...

...SUMMARY This Project report details the design and development of a motorized car jack powered the 12 V DC electric outlets available in most modern cars. The motivations behind the project and the objectives and goals of the project are also discussed. Although it was initial plans were to develop a pneumatically operated jack that would work on the car exhaust fumes, rough calculations showed that this idea would not be feasible for safe operation. We later settled on the project idea of a conventional scissor jack that would be operated electrically through the cigarette lighter outlet. Moving further there were two options available – design a scissor jack form the ground up or to retrofit existing jacks with a motor. It was collectively decided to opt for the retrofit. Pros and cons of this are discussed in the report. The report provides comparisons of the various component selections and the reasons behind the selection. The main goal was to find creative ideas to keep costs low and to increase safety margins as high as possible. 1. INTRODUCTION AN automotive jack is a device used to raise all or part of a vehicle in order to facilitate repairs. It is an indispensable tool for any vehicle.owner. Anybody who has owned and driven car for a substantial time has had to use a jack to replace a tire at some point. Most people are familiar with the basic car jack (manually operated) that is still included as standard equipment with most new cars. Not only...

...Butler has written many different poem, though he is mostly known for writing mocking and satirical poems in his Hudibras, which were based on the English Protestants. The poem “She was too kind” was written in 1901 after Ms. Eliza Savage’s Death which portrays the feeling of regret and how he ill – treated her. Literary criticism theories such as Marxism, feminism, new historicist and many more, helps the reader to interpret and understand the text. New Historic theory is used to look at the history of the poet and the critic itself to understand the meaning behind the poem. Tragic love is the theme of the poem, and it shows the reader that love was not fulfilled between the two people. One did not accept the love of another. One can consider that “She was too kind” is the greatest poem ever because when one understand the history of the poem between the poet and Eliza, it can be determined that the poet used imagery, repetition and alliteration to convey the tragic love between Miss Savage and the poet himself. New Historicist theory developed by Stephen Greenblatt is another tool that can be used to interpret what the poem is about. The poet’s history and the critic’s history is intertwined as it is about Samuel’s love life. The poet was married to a woman named Ms. Morgan Herbert, who was a widow. When Samuel returned to Britain from his trip to New Zealand, he met Eliza Savage in person. Even when he was in New Zealand, he used to submit the chapters to her for approval. A year...
