Doc 2.1- The Mesopotamians felt that some of the kings were created or sent by the gods. They believed that Gilgamesh knew all things, was wise and saw mysteries and knew secrets. That when the gods created him they provided him a perfect body, he received beauty from Shamash, courage from Adad, and that his beauty was made perfect by the great gods, that far out passed any other. They believed he was two-thirds god and one-third man. The basis of the monarch’s legitimacy was divine influence. The epic suggests that afterlife cannot be achieved by worldly means, in...

(Nicola 2012) Alongside the main functions mentioned above, a LIMS also manages the communication with clients, documents related to the samples and the personnel and workload. List of the main types of information that would need to be stored on a laboratory information management system: 1. Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) records. 2. Scientific data. 3.

...valid opinions and evidence? Writing for the Audience Since the goal of technical writing is information transfer (sending a clear, noisefree message), what you say and how you say it depends on the audience. The nature of the audience determines the level of technical detail, the amount of “context/background” information you provide, and the organization of the document. It is important to understand who is reading the document so that the information you convey is transferred effectively. As a writer, it is crucial to have an awareness of the reader’s knowledge, ability level, and interest in the information being conveyed. Satisfying Document Specifications (Genre/Type of Document) Document specifications include… • Adherence to document type (genre)--understanding what is expected in an email vs. a memo, knowing the difference between a proposal and a recommendation report, and understanding how to write up the results of an experiment vs. the conclusions; • Format--many document types specify a specific format be followed, for example, various professional journals and government documents require...

...format. 2. Write simple, short sentences that you can manage to write without grammatical errors. As a thumb rule, if your sentence runs into the third line in MS Word, it is long and perhaps confounding. 3. Do run proper spell check before submitting any document to anyone. It is unprofessional and rather rude to submit documents with spellings mistakes. The reader will immediately lose confidence in your professional capabilities. 4. Maintain proper formatting requirements for any professional document. Typically a standard font such as Times New Roman or Arial with size 12, proper line and paragraph spacing to facilitate readability, and justified alignment (unless submitting to US people who prefer left justified) is needed. All tables, figures, lists and any other such things must have captions with proper number and title (e.g. Table 1: Names of the Companies Involved in 2G Scam). Tables shouldn’t have any vertical lines as per the APA standards. Different levels of headings in a text should follow different and consistent patterns. You may take a look at any standard journal article to better understand this point. Whenever you feel impressed by the format of a document, mark the formatting patterns. You will learn formatting quickly in this manner. 5. A reference without citation is meaningless. Unless you clearly indicate which line or idea is borrowed, you are still plagiarizing. For example, people have the potential to perform...

...records encompass a wide range of data relating to individuals working in an organisation, which may be stored in a variety of media, such as computer database or paper files. There and advantages and disadvantages to both media: 1.1 Paper records/ Paper Files: A risk analysis needs to focus on the secure storage and the prevention of threats such as fire or theft and relevant personnel can only access those files. There are legal requirements that employees are required to meet in terms of the length of time that specific documents are to be retained, so thought needs to be given to storage space and all files must be easily retrieved and accessed when required. The business must implement and maintain a good document discipline, i.e. no paper should be left laying around for unauthorised access, and a clean desk at night policy must be mandatory. However, there are some benefits to collecting and retaining paper files. Paper files are not susceptible to computer viruses, they are user friendly, and there are benefits to their portability. Paper Files supporting HR: This system of saving files proves particularly helpful while signing important job contacts, Signing of important legal documents that show...

...Part of your job as a staff associate in an auditing firm is to document your findings in working papers (also known as workpapers) and schedules. Workpapers summarize your audit actions, such as planning the audit. Schedules show what steps you take to reach a conclusion. For example, to support your conclusion that cash is correctly stated on the balance sheet, you may prepare a schedule showing all bank reconciliations affirming that they reconcile without discrepancy to the balance sheet. Your CPA firm specifies how you prepare all your audit documents. However, keep in mind that every workpaper stands on its own. This means that its purpose, source of information, and conclusions must be clearly evident. To prepare workpapers, you want to use the following elements: A descriptive heading: It should include the client’s name, the workpaper’s purpose, and the date under examination. Indexing: Like a book, every workpaper has a unique page number showing its place in the audit file. Cross-referencing: To improve your efficiency, you want to cross-reference your workpaper to related and supporting workpapers. Doing so eliminates the duplication of work. For example, if you file the client’s bank reconciliations in Section A and you refer to them in Section F, you don’t need to make copies of the bank reconciliations to place in Section F. Your cross-reference could be “See bank reconciliations in Section A.” Tick marks: For the sake of brevity...

...sometimes known as a management summary, is a short document or section of a document, produced for purposes, that summarizes a longer report or proposal or a group of r business elated reports in such a way that readers can rapidly become acquainted with a large body of material without having to read it all. It usually contains a brief statement of the problem or proposal covered in the major document(s), background information, concise analysis and main conclusions. It is intended as an aid to decision-making by managers[1][2] and has been described as possibly the most important part of a business plan.[3] They must be short and to the point. An executive summary differs from an abstract in that an abstract will usually be shorter and is intended to provide a neutral overview or orientation rather than being a condensed version of the full document. Abstracts are extensively used in academic research where the concept of the executive summary would be meaningless. "An abstract is a brief summarizing statement... read by parties who are trying to decide whether or not to read the main document", while "an executive summary, unlike an abstract, is a document in miniature that may be read in place of the longer document".[4] An executive summary differs from an abstract in that an abstract will usually be shorter and is intended to provide a neutral overview or orientation rather than being a condensed version of the full document.
