...The Effect of Different Music Frequencies on Society BS/P-001 09-05-2013 Although not everyone listens to music regularly, it can (music) have a positive or negative effect on the listener depending on the frequency. Music tuned to A=432Hz can have a healing effect, while music tuned to the frequency of 440Hz can have the opposite effect. They have both proven to be a powerful influence depending on how they are used. According to some sources, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbles set the 440Hz standard in 1939, which was later adopted by the International Standards Organization as early as 1953. Music can have a positive effect on society depending on the frequency. For example, listening to music which ash been tuned to the international standard frequency of 440Hz can cause a shift in consciousness toward more negative attributes of violence, anti-social behavior, aggression and negative emotions. In contrast, music which has been toned to the more natural frequency of 432Hz, which has been considered the pulse of the universe, when listened to, has been known to generate profound healing on all levels and spiritual well-being. Music has such a powerful influence that it has Benn used for everything from selling products to making money for entertainers. While in public, whether walking down the street, on the bus or on the subway, you see people listening to music on ipods, ipads and mp3 players and music is downloaded daily from websites that have the latest...

...as advertised?). Performance in the service industry means prompt and accurate service (Garvin, 1987). Performance is a more objective dimension of quality because performance can be measured (Garvin, 1987). Features are the extra items added to the basic “model”. Features can include upgrading to leather seats in a new car, adding in the heated seat function to the vehicle as well, or ordering/purchasing a car with a sunroof. Reliability is a measurement of how the products operated under different conditions in an expected time frame. Computers, automobiles, and farming equipment need a high reliability rating due to what they are used for/needed for (Garvin, 1987). Conformance is the “degree to which a product meets pre-established standards” (Russell & Taylor III, 2014). Durability is the life span of the product (will it last 1 year or 10 years?). Durability also offers the idea that it is the amount of use a customer gets from a product before it breaks down and needs replaced (Garvin, 1987). Serviceability is the measurement of the ease of getting repairs, the speed of repairs, and the courtesy and competence of the repair technician (Russell & Taylor III, 2014). Aesthetics is how the product appeals to the senses of the consumer; safety is the assurance the customer will not obtain an injury from a product; and other perceptions are more subjective such as how the brand name appeals to the customer, and how the advertising campaign...

...Do international labour standards help in eliminating poverty in developing countries? Firstly, I will define International Labour Organisation. In my understanding ILO is an organisation which promotes equal opportunities for women and men at work, in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. Its main aims are to promote rights at work, encourage decent employment opportunities, develop social protection and strengthen work-related issues. Also I will look into statements which promote International Labour Organisation and the way it works. Additionally, I will give some examples of developing countries and International Labour Organisation role in those countries. The ILO is the international organization responsible for drawing up and overseeing international labour standards. It is the only 'tripartite' United Nations agency that brings together representatives of governments, employers and workers and promoting decent work for all. This unique arrangement gives the ILO ability to understand the 'real world' knowledge about employment and work. International labour standards have grown into a comprehensive system of instruments on work and social policy, backed by a supervisory system which is designed to address all sort of problems in their application at the national level. The International Labour Organization (ILO) is dedicated to promoting social justice and internationally recognized human and labour rights, following its founding mission that labour...

...material requirements necessary during World War II brought many children back into the labor market. Legislation concerning child labor in other than industrial pursuits, e.g., in agriculture, has lagged. In the Eastern and Midwestern United States, child labor became a recognized problem after the Civil War, and in the South after 1910. Congressional child labor laws were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1918 and 1922. A constitutional amendment was passed in Congress in 1924 but was not approved by enough states. The First Labor Standards Act of 1938 set a minimum age limit of 18 for occupations designated hazardous, 16 for employment during school hours for companies engaged in interstate commerce, and 14 for employment outside school hours in nonmanufacturing companies. In 1941 The Supreme Court ruled that Congress had the constitutional authority to pass this act. Nearly all member nations of the International Labor Organization (ILO) regulate the employment of children in industry, and most also regulate commercial work; some nations regulate work in the street trades, while a few control agricultural and household work. Despite such regulation attempts, as many as 26% of all children between the ages of 5 and 14 (an...

...Child Labour, unsolvable? The International Labour Organisation (ILO) defines “Child Labour” as “work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development”. It refers to work that is physically, morally and mentally dangerous for a child to engage in while also often depriving them of some of their basic human rights such as a right to an education. The types of work children are engaging in varies, from children working on a family farm or in the home to situations involving children working in hazardous environments such as manufacturing plants in Asia or mining and quarrying operations in Brazil and Colombia. However there is also a darker side to the child labour problem where many children are forced to engage in activities such as armed conflict, drug trafficking, prostitution and even slavery. It is important to note that child labour is not a thing of the past. It is still a huge problem worldwide. The ILO estimated that in the year 2000 there were as many as 246 million children worldwide engaged in some form of child labour with almost three quarters of these children engaged in the worst forms of child labour such as trafficking and prostitution. As of the year 2012 the worldwide figure has since fallen to approximately 168 million, a huge decrease in the number of children engaged in child labour. Most of these children live within the South East Asia and Pacific region where many children...

...Child labour Strategic Issue Report Author: Stephie Daniel Angel Introduction Throughout the world, especially in the less-developed countries, an immeasurable amount of children have been involved in what has been called child labour, and its prevalence has now sparked much worry. Child labour can be defined as any work that is harmful to a child’s health or interrupt a child’s education (International Labour Organisation, 2012). According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), there were approximately 153 million child labourers aged 5-14 worldwide in 2008 and this number has increased to 250 million nowadays. Also, ILO investigated that 60 percent of the child labour was engaged in agricultural work such as farming, dairy and fisheries. The rest is in service industries and manufacturing, 25% and 15% respectively (Diallo, et al., 2010). Child labour is difficult to deal with because of the number of sections and categorization of child labour. It is not only because of poverty but also the surrounding societal and cultural causes. This report will examine the effects and implications of child labour, identify the causes, and propose some feasible solutions. Impacts Child labour is mentally, physically, socially dangerous and harmful to children, and also brings disadvantages to the development of economies across the world, especially in impoverished countries. Obviously and essentially, working in sweatshops and other inhumane conditions may...

...Custom Research Paper: Argumentative Essay on Child Labor Laws and Regulations | | | | Child labor occurs along a continuum, with harmful and exploitative work that endangers the welfare and potential of the child at one end of the spectrum and light work and often beneficial training and apprenticeship at the other. National and international labor standard regulations with respect to what constitutes a legally permissible minimum age of employment accordingly depend typically on a range of criteria including (a) the type of work, as distinguished by the degree of hazard a child faces, or whether the child is subject to exploitation, or the worst forms of child labor; (b) the sector of employment, whether in agriculture, manufacturing, or family businesses or the household; and (c) the degree to which child labor work interferes with schooling, depending on the number of hours a child is put to work, say, per week.Though child labor statistics inevitably paint an aggregate picture, the coverage of national and international statistics has improved, reflecting a diversity of activities that come under the umbrella of child labor work. International Labour Organization (ILO) statistics treat any child as economically active with performance of at least 1 hour of work during the week prior to asurvey. The ILO also defines a child laborer as synonymous with (a) an economically active person between the ages of 5 and 11, and (b) an individual between the ages of 12 and 14 who performs...

The following effects result from a density altitude which is higher than the actual physical altitude:[2] • The aircraft will accelerate slower on takeoff as a result of reduced power production. • The aircraft will need to achieve a higher true airspeed to attain the same lift - this implies both a longer takeoff roll and a higher true airspeed which must be maintained when airborne to avoid stalling.

...Chapter 1 Introduction Origin of the report After Liberation when country's traditional items of export could not yield expected result, in late 70s the government and a section of entrepreneurs - young, educated and dynamic, began to emphasize on development of non-traditional items of export. By the year 1983, Ready-Made-Garment (RMG) emerged to be a non-traditional export oriented sector most promising in the socioeconomic context of the country. By that time, those entrepreneurs felt a necessity of sectoral trade body, non-government in nature, free from traditional bureaucracy, to help the RMG sector and to boost up the foreign exchange earnings of the country urgently needed at that time. Responding to that necessity, 19 (Nineteen) RMG manufacturers and exporters joined together and by their untiring efforts got Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) incorporated on February 20, 1983, Today 2400 small and medium scale privately owned garment factories, registered with BGMEA, spread in cluster over the EPZ and urban areas of Dhaka, Chittagong and Khulna, are manufacturing ready-made garments of varied specifications as per size and designs stipulated by the overseas buyers. Starting with a few items, the entrepreneurs in the RMG sector have widely diversified the product base ranging from ordinary shirt, T-shirt, trousers, shorts, pajama, ladie's wear and children's wear to sophisticated high value items like quality suits, branded jeans...

Harmonisation – what it means Harmonisation is the process which aims to converge the accounting practices around the world and to increase the compatibility between countries in regards to financial statements. However, we must keep in mind that this process does not target uniformity in the accounting practice, but to reduce the differences over time. Standardising the accounting practices around the world comes as a boomerang effect of capitalisation. We have companies that trade in different countries and thus they must oblige with each of the accounting practices of every country where the company produces financial statements. This leads to the situation where you have a company reporting a shareholders’...

...has been increasingly important in the organisation because the society has become more industrial-dominant since 1990s (Deegan and Unerman, 2006, pp. 317). Disclosure of social and environmental accounting has regarded as a core reporting method among organisations and it has been eventually separated from the statement of the financial position (Deegan and Unerman, 2011, pp. 385). In the late 1990s, triple bottom line reporting, which considers that economic, social and environmental areas are equally important (Elkington, 1997), but unfortunately, with the higher demand of more integrated reporting, it has been replaced (Deegan and Unerman, 2011, pp. 386). This responsibility also embraces the social and environmental reporting practices on the basis of the personal judgement (Deegan and Unerman, 2006, pp. 318). Social and environment reporting can be defined as the process of the communication with particular stakeholder groups within society regarding the social and environmental impacts of the organisation (Gray, Owen and Maunders, 1987, pp. ix). It has been argued that the accounting standards which deal with this social and environmental sector appear to be somewhat meagre although there are some frameworks in terms of sustainability reporting (Gray et al, 1997). Hence, there may be some claims that an accounting standard regarding social and environmental issues needs to be established while others might think that the organisation may feel more comfortable to comply with...

...Accounting Standards- Callum Kellas 11066176 Accounting standards are sets of rules specifically layed down by certain numerous organisations that set out the fundamental principles, the definitive meanings of key terms and specify the methods with which accounts should be presented. “ Accounting principles and concepts develop from research, accepted accouting practises and pronouncements of regulators” (Warren, p7,2010) These international standards of international financial reporting standards give symmetry to the financial reports of various institutions across differing industries and make it clear and coherent to anyone wishing to view such information. Any principle or interpretation that is adopted by the International Standards Board can be considered to have a mandate to be a internationally recognised standard. “the convergence in firms’ accounting policies brought about by adopting IAS is positively associated with the reduction in analyst forecast errors” (Ashbaugh, p1,2001). The basic principles used by the IASB are constantly subject to scrutiny and debate and are often altered in conjunction with the changing economic climate. IAS 1 article 10 specifically states the elements that are to be included in a IFRS statement and the sub sections of each document that must be included in this report. The elements that make up a statement of financial position are the assets, liabilities and the equity in the company in question. The income statement (PNL statement)...

...What are the benefits of international financial reforting standards since thier adaption at the beginnng of the 21st? essay EXECUTIVE SUMMARY International Financial reporting Standards IFRS as a recent accounting phenomenon has drawn the attentions of Accountant, financial institutions and financial managers, multinational companies, government, financial regulatory institutions and in all the participants in capital market. This research is aim at examining the benefits of IFRS as against the present realities in the 21st century. In this work , review of literatures was carried out to ascertain the reasons for the adoption of IFRS, comparison were also made between existing US GAAP and IFRS using SWOT analysis in order to establish efficiency over other national GAAP. And from the report we can see that the usefulness of internationally recognized standard cannot be over emphasized as it cuts across all the spheres of the economy. Like the capital market, investors, globally etc. The research also established the improvement that IFRS upheld through its transparency, transactional cost reduction and reduction in complexity of financial statement. This is due to multiplicity of standards, although some weaknesses were encountered in the use of the standard. These include that the standard is principled based which makes it difficult to be compared with the other standards. We have also analysed the need for enforcement of the standard so that it will be same globally. There...
