...Part I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Theories/Concept of the Design Class Volume Monitoring System with Automatic Influx Adjustment is a reliable circuit that takes over the task of counting the number of individuals inside a room very accurately. When somebody enters the room, the counter is incremented by one. When somebody exits the room, the counter will count down by one. The total number of individuals inside the room is displayed on the two 7-segments. Individual Counting is simply a measurement of the individual traffic entering and exiting offices, malls, sports, venues, rooms etc. Counting the number of individuals helps to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of employees, floor area of an organization, and even the monitoring of the people inside. Individual counting is not limited to the entry or exit point of an establishment but has a wide range of applications that provide information to management on the volume and flow of people throughout a location. A common method for counting the visitors involves sharing human auditors to manually tally the number of individuals who pass by a certain location. But human-based data collection comes at great expense. Our project aims to automate the counting of individuals with the use of a detector called Light-Dependent Resistor which makes it more reliable and efficient. The use of human auditors is redirected to other functions which makes a more productive system. Another feature of this project is...

...increasingly unhappy with the ruling party despite enjoying relative peace and prosperity amid the gloomy global economic conditions. These issues ranges from foreigners influx, housing prices, transportation bottleneck, widening income gap, rising demands of citizens to the PAP governing style. Among these issues, the problem of foreigner influx is the most fatal as it is the root to many problems. The foreigner influx issue is indeed very challenging and if not tackled properly, can potentially affect the PAP adversely in the coming general elections. Firstly, the foreigners influx issue, the core of the problems. To tackle the persistent low birth rate, Singapore have experienced an overwhelming influx of foreigners especially from China and India. According to the latest statistics, our population swell to 5.39m; foreigners comprising of 1.55m, and citizens accounted for 3.31m. Singapore has loosened its immigration policy to boost her economy and maintain her competitiveness. Singapore economy grew mainly due to manual labour capital without any real boost in productivity. With the announcement of the population white paper, Singapore population is targeted to reach 6.9m in 2030. With so many people in a tiny city state, the already dense nation faces bottleneck in infrastructure. The foreigner influx brings about a plethora of issues:...

...which neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neurons to exert an effect on the subsequent postsynaptic neuron.An action potential is generated in the pre-synaptic neuron by generating the influx of Na+ through the sodium channels and an efflux of the K+ ions via the Potassium channels.The action potential at the presynaptic terminal, triggers the influx of calcium into the terminal axon. The influx of calcium plays a functional role in the release of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft. The experiment performed by Katz and Ricardo Melidi showed that presynaptic terminals that are treated with tetrodotoxin( binds sodium) are still capable of generating prolonged action potentials. The current was flowing through calcium channels instead of sodium. Another experiment by rodolfo llinas indicated presence of voltage gated calcium channels in presynaptic terminals. The experiment was carried out by using giant squid axon, confirmed the presence of voltage gated calcium channels in the presynaptic cell.Neurotransmitter releases right after calcium enters the specific voltage-dependent calcium channels,which basically means that calcium channels are involved in neurotransmission. Therefore, presynaptic action potentials results in influx of calcium (Katz and Miledi,1960). In a presynaptic neuron, Small sacs that are referred to as...

...indicate there are massive illegal immigrants in the recent past from the same continents. Unlike in the earlier times, illegal immigrants are less educated and lead to high competition for the low paying jobs and increment in unemployment levels. Research on the education levels of immigrants in the US indicate that over 35% of the school dropouts are likely born outside the country. Other than increase in low paying jobs competition, influx in less educated immigrants is also raising concerns on social issues among them cohesion and integration with the natives. However, the need to cater for refugees from war torn countries and bridging the gap being left by the aging population in the developed countries supersedes this concern. Economic impact of...

...“Life and Misery of Gypsies in Lahore Date: 24th November 2010 SUMMARY Gypsies are a social group of nomads that mostly suffer discrimination from the rest of the society. These gypsy communities in Lahore are living in great misery. They don’t have even the basic facilities of life such as electricity, health, education and clean water for drinking instead there are masses of rubbish and pools of filthy water all around. The children of gypsies run here and there, naked and with dirty hairs and skin, the males are addicted and the ladies move towards the Bazars for begging and prostitution. Government must stop being negligent of these 700,000 people and has to provide them with space for housing, basic facilities of life and provide them with employment to sort out their financial problems.

...With the development of new industries therefore it requires professional experts as guides and as assistances to local staffs to achieve the industry’s objective. However, with the influx of foreigners working in every industry, it limits the chances of the locals being hired. According to the survey of Brunei’s Labour Department (2013), the private sector has a total number of workers up to 141,852 workers in which 92,000 were foreigners. The significant increase was due to the increase of infrastructure development being carried out and local preferences of working in government agencies. In recent ‘titah’ by the Sultan of Brunei during his 69th birthday, he said Bruneians need to shed their preference towards Government and being ‘picky’ towards employment may hinder growth of a nation. Measures had been taken in by Immigration and Labour Department, in which the introduction of Employment Order 2009 which applies to locals...

...Sindh is called the bab-ul-Islam or the gate way of Islam in South Asia. Despite being one of the earliest states to have witnessed the advent of Islam, Sindh has remained a moderate state when it came to the practice of religion. Before partition Sindh harbored a significant Hindu population in a Muslim majority province. After partition, there was a huge influx of Muslims from eastern Punjab towards western Punjab which then moved towards Sindh and especially towards the developed capital city of Karachi. Besides, there was also an influx of Muslims from Bombay and Bengal. Alongside the influx, occurred the Hindu exodus from Sindh despite Mr. Jinnah’s utmost effort to retain as much Hindus in Pakistan as possible so that he can bargain the rights of Muslims who could not make it to Pakistan. This slightly changed the religious complexion of the province but still there remained a significant proportion of Hindus in Sindh. While Punjab has seen the rise of rightist parties like the PML N who have inclination towards one religion, Sindh on the other hand has throughout the history of Pakistan voted for liberal center- left parties like PPP, MQM and ANP. Jamat-i-Islami(JI), even in its hey days between 1980s and 1990s especially during the Zia era when PPP leadership was severely executed, could not make significant in-roads in Sindh as the verdict of the people was staunchly in favor of the moderate centre-left parties. Currently we observe the phenomenon of ‘Talibanization’ in...

...By 1890 there was 9.2 million foreign born Americans in the US . The earliest immigrants were from Northern Europe, these included Britain, Ireland, Germany and Scandinavia. Yet after the 1900s Southern and Eastern Europeans arrived such as Jews from the Russian empire. The influx of these millions of new immigrants accelerated the transformation of the USA particularly in terms of economic growth. This was due to a new constant supply of cheap, unskilled labour. With little understanding of employment law and desperate for work the workers were easily exploited. However in some cases immigrants brought with them skills that benefitted the expansion of business and the economy. The majority, however, were unskilled. As a result of this many worked for a rate most local workers would not accept; this increased competition for jobs. Again this caused tension as the earliest settlers felt threatened by the influx of new immigrant workers. Matters were made worse by religion; most of those who arrived in the 19th century were white Anglo-Saxon Protestants, whereas those arriving after 1900 predominantly consisted of Catholics and Jews. This again contributed to rivalries between the different ethnic groups as they competed for jobs and...

...Integrative Problems and Virtual Organization Strategy Paper Fuller-Patton Community Hospital (FPCH) has been in operation since 1975. The management of FPCH would like to upgrade and expand its operations in the community. In order to do so, a large influx of resources would need to be obtained. There are a variety of ways FPCH could add to its resources in order to accomplish its vision. These include taking FCPH public by holding an Initial Public Offering (IPO), acquiring another facility out right, or merging with another facility. This will be to compare and contrast each of these resource opportunities and to ultimately decide on a course of action. Strengths of the Various Resource Opportunities As stated, FPCH has various opportunities to generate an influx of resources in order to be able to expand their operations. The first of these opportunities is to enter an IPO. An IPO is the initial sale of stock in the hospital to the public, basically making those who purchase stock partial owners in the company. An advantage to an IPO is there is an instant influx of cash resources into the business. This influx of cash can then be used to make the upgrades and expansions that FPCH is envisioning. In addition to the instant influx of cash, another benefit of an IPO is that it generates publicity for the hospital and can increase their market share because of the added exposure. Another avenue that FPCH is exploring is the possibility of acquiring another independent hospital...

...Recently, the influx of immigrants has started to become a massive issue, not just in the U.S, but in other countries as well. A large group of immigrants can affect a country in a variety of ways now, more than it ever did before. An overpopulated city filled with migrants may end up causing the city, and the country as well, to be stuck in deep waters. Most government officials also may not have any solution as to solving the conflict of having the resources to provide shelter for the immigrants. In addition, the citizens of a country might start to show fear or distrust against the immigrants, which may end up in a bad result. Overall, the flow of immigrants can lead to a very negative result. “During the past half-century, 59 million immigrants have moved to the United States, making it the No.1 immigrant destination on the planet,”quoted Tom Gjelton, who for many years got to cover national and international news from Washington and around the world . Countries such as Europe, the United States, are one of the few countries whose population has now been a high number of immigrants. People who migrate from different parts of the globe tend to go the United Kingdom(UK) for “better education and employment opportunities, to escape from being persecuted, or...

...The topic that I have chosen is the influx of Hispanic people into the suburban areas surrounding Hanover, Pennsylvania. This phenomenon is occurring not just in Hanover but also all across South Central Pennsylvania in recent years. It is driven primarily by the employment opportunities that have become available in the local area, namely factory employment. The growing number of factories located in Hanover has created an increased demand for both skilled and unskilled laborers and the Hispanic population has moved in to fill these positions as they generally provide a relatively cheap source of labor for the factory owners, as well as a source of reliable employment for Hispanics. This influx in Hispanic population has also triggered several...

Following the Question and Answer session at the NTU Students’ Union Ministerial Forum held on 29 Oct 10, Ministry of Home Affairs directed REACH to present a report on the underlying issues for the lack of sense of belonging in Singaporean youths. REACH sought NYC’s inputs as we have direct dealings with youths. Our Prime Minister highlighted the importance of the Singapore spirit to maintain a Singaporean core in our society. It needed to be instilled in the next generation of youths to sustain the core into the future. Losing the Singapore spirit could translate into individuals not knowing the cause, the community and the country to defend or die for. This discernment is becoming a concern as more Singaporeans are studying or working abroad. Data for this report was obtained from: (1) the Census of Population 2010, to study the trends of the Singapore Population so as to better understand the characteristics of the evolving generations; (2) the Youth Study by the Ministry...

...Tatar immigrants also had to leave from Crimea into Ottoman Empire when it became under the Russian control and the Muslims there were forced to leave. The same situation in the case of Circassians from the Caucasus and the descendants of Turk who had to flee from Balkans when the Ottoman Empire collapsed(Latif, 2002). During the beginning of the 20th century, the continuous gradually collapse of the Ottoman Empire had accompanied with massive waves of forced migrants from many former Ottoman regions into Anatolia. Simultaneously, a large influx of people escaped or forced to move out of the Ottoman territories such as when almost half million Greek Orthodox Christians fled after the Greek army was defeated in 1922. Later, as a part of population exchange treatment between Turkey and Greece, about 1.3 million Greek had to move to Greece and about half million Turks left Greece to Turkey. In the followed years, many new agreements including the exchange of people have been made between Turkey and Balkan states. The Armenian minority also have mostly derived out of Turkish borders ( içduygu,...

...The issue of illegal immigrants coming from Mexico and other Central American countries and entering the United States is an example of this. Because of this influx of illegal immigrants, some Americans tend to apply a negative stereotype to all Mexican and Hispanic people, whether they are legal or illegal. Bringing an end to illegal immigration will significantly dampen these negative stereotypes of entire groups of people and so, multicultural societies and minority populations will come to be more prominent, granted that they came into the country without infringing upon laws. The United States of America has always been a "melting pot" of different cultures nad peoples, so people of all cultures will always be present in the United States , and therefore, cross-cultural experiences do not require illegal immigration to take place and in fact, illegal immigration lessens cross-cultural experiences...
