...delve into the narrative of this film, as well as analyze the challenges faced by both the contestants and the producers of the show. Most importantly, it will show how Afghan Star did something that no politician could accomplish and brought the peoples of a divided nation one step closer to each other. From the very outset of the show, Afghan Star was a smash hit. Its popularity grew tremendously as the competition progressed and before long almost everybody had picked a favorite contestant and was following along. The show was brought to air by a group of men including the presenter, Daoud Sediqi. He became the face of the program and was instrumental in its progression. The film focuses on four of the top contestants, Rafi Naabzada, Hameed Sakhizada, Setara Hussainzada, and Lema Sahar. The selection of these people gives the film an interesting dynamic because all four hail from different parts of Afghanistan and two of them are women. Singing on stage is a big deal for anyone in the Islamic culture, but especially for women because many people feel it goes against tradition. As the contestants become more and more popular from the show, many people begin to recognize them in the streets. This is both exciting and nerve-wracking for them. On one hand, many of the singers have always dreamed of being famous but on...

...First Day on the Job Cheryl L. Williams Dr. Ed Sherbert HRM 530: Strategic Human Resource Management November 27, 2011 Abstract Employees are the key elements of an organization. The success or failure of the organization depends on employee performance. Therefore, organizations must invest money on employee development (Hameed & Waheed, 2011, p. 224). This paper will discuss the issues a new manger faces with trying to attain and retain good employees. It is very important that organizations make an investment in their employees through career development, preventing burnout, and helping them achieve a work-life balance. The paper will discuss the importance of employee development (employee learning, skill growth, and career assessment). In these days of hard economic times people are looking for jobs that pay well and are tempted to move from job to job looking for more money. In order for employers to keep their best employees from leaving they must develop programs and policies to help them grow in their careers. Discuss the factors causing the employee’s dissatisfaction. First and foremost, the employee appears to be suffering from burnout. She tells Malik that she is exhausted and frustrated because the work either comes all at once or there is little work to do. Burnout is defined as a psychological phenomenon involving emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and a decline in feelings of competence about work (Stewart & Brown, 2009). Job...

...Bangladesh is the first country in the Southeast Asia to have an Islamic bank. The idea to have an Islamic banking system is recommended by Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in 1978. The founder of this successful establishment is late Fouad Abdul Hameed Al-Khateeb. He is the Saudi Arabia’s first ambassador stationed at Bangladesh from 1977- 1982. He also organized a team with other scholars to start a project to establish Islamic bank and financial institutions based on shariah. In 1983, Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) was established and followed by the others such as Al-Arafah Islami Bank and Shahjalal Islami Bank Ltd. However, to trigger the effort that can make this idea come true is not easy. Bangladesh is also facing the challenges regarding the problem that comes through this phenomenon in this Islamic world. First of all, the modes of investments like Mudarabah and Musharakah are not really practices in Islamic banking services. It is because there are insufficient factors such as committed entrepreneur and committed professional who can create new instruments. Furthermore, the absence of Islamic money market have made banks cannot invest their surplus fund so their profit will be affected. The ability of Islamic bank in Bangladesh to use tradable financial instrument is also not clear because the absence of suitable long term assets. The progression of Islamic finance in Bangladesh has growth in positive value in last few decades. It is because...

Relocating Modern Science: Circulation and Construction of Knowledge in South Asia and Europe, 1650-1900. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2006. Kenny, Dane. Reinterpreting Exploration: The West in the World. New York: Oxford University Press, 2014. The circulation and construction of knowledge in South Asia and Europe from 1650-1900 was a time of exploration, determination, and glory. It was also a time of anguish, disappointment, and even tyranny. There were those who were driven by curiosity and prosperity and also those who were driven by selfishness and greed. Britain and India’s newfound relationship was quickly gaining a more powerful and stable foundation. New fresh ideas, intriguing concepts, and upstanding principles were rapidly being introduced into society and this was really just the beginning; there was still so much to be learned. An identity was slowly beginning to form. Knowledge became the focal point of everything. Learning and understanding concepts as well as engineering them became a steady day to day operation. However, where did the fresh ideas, the carefully calculated risks, the brilliant notions, and the state of the art technology specifically come from? Who was really responsible for this European and South Asian enlightenment? Somebody had to be pulling the strings. Many people seem to think of the British...

...Islam and science The road to renewal THE sleep has been long and deep. In 2005 Harvard University produced more scientific papers than 17 Arabic-speaking countries combined. The world’s 1.6 billion Muslims have produced only two Nobel laureates in chemistry and physics. Both moved to the West: the only living one, the chemist Ahmed Hassan Zewail, is at the California Institute of Technology. By contrast Jews, outnumbered 100 to one by Muslims, have won 79. The 57 countries in the Organisation of the Islamic Conference spend a puny 0.81% of GDP on research and development, about a third of the world average. America, which has the world’s biggest science budget, spends 2.9%; Israel lavishes 4.4%. Many blame Islam’s supposed innate hostility to science. Some universities seem keener on prayer than study. Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad, for example, has three mosques on campus, with a fourth planned, but no bookshop. Rote learning rather than critical thinking is the hallmark of higher education in many countries. The Saudi government supports books for Islamic schools such as “The Unchallengeable Miracles of the Qur’an: The Facts That Can’t Be Denied By Science” suggesting an inherent conflict between belief and reason. Many universities are timid about courses that touch even tangentially on politics or look at religion from a non-devotional standpoint. Pervez Hoodbhoy, a renowned Pakistani nuclear scientist, introduced a course on science and world affairs, including...

Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) theorise price momentum anomaly in the stock market for the first time. It contradicted to efficient market hypothesis thereby is widely debated. EMH states that no consistent excess return can be achieved since security prices fully reflect all available information (Fama 1970). Therefore, future prices cannot be predicted through technical analysis of past prices. If the hypothesis is true, passive investment strategy ought to be taken, because it is impossible to get abnormal return by aggressive trading. However, Jegadeesh and Titman show that stocks performed well over the previous 3 to 12 months tend to continue to perform well over 3 to 12 months holding periods.

Predictable price patterns and excess returns contradict the efficient market hypothesis. Investors and fund managers perform actively in pursuing abnormal profits.

...Knowledge Management and Business Intelligence ( BI) Knowledge management helps an organization to gain insight and understanding from its own experience. Specific knowledge management activities help focus the organization on acquiring, storing and utilizing knowledge for such things as problem solving, dynamic learning, strategic planning and decision making (Hameed, 2004). On the other hand, Business Intelligence uses the information collected from multiple sources that analyses patterns, trends and relationships for strategic decision making. Currently, there is a vast aggregation of documents and data, including the business application and requirements along with appropriate fees. This indicates that there is inefficient delivery of the services offered by business process. In addition, only few senior employees know the key operational information. They may have not pass one the training to their subordinates. Subordinates may have become operational, as such was just able to do their routinely jobs that resulted to lack of decisions in improving their monthly revenue and thinking of more strategic strategy. Another factor is their use of mechanical techniques as such when an application is rejected and the problem corrected, the permit had to go back through the other departments . CON may look into KM technologies which can incorporate those employed to create, store, retrieve, distribute and analyze structured and unstructured information. Knowledge and content...
