...Assessed Essay Question: Outline the types of institutions which comprise the emerging global civil society. What is their potential for contributing to ‘globalization with a human face’? Essay Number: 707004 Word Count: 3491 I. Introduction While globalization processes have propelled the world into an era of shrinking borders, rapid technological advances and intensifying connectedness, global civil society has risen at an equally rapid pace. Though global civil society is not a new phenomenon, the realm has become increasingly compelling in light of the explosion of civil society institutions that constitute a truly global sphere (Falk, 2000). By 2002, more than 30,000 international nongovernmental organizations existed alongside more than 20,000 global civil society networks, ninety percent of which had emerged during the previous three decades (Edwards, 2002). As numbers continue to increase, the true estimate of global civil society institutions is likely in the millions (Matthews, 2003). The growth of global civil society in the era of globalization leads naturally to questions regarding the institutions included in this sector and their contributions to the processes of globalization. Consequently, this essay will review the institutions that comprise the emerging global civil society and critically assess their potential to promote ‘globalization with a human face’, as defined by the 1999 United Nations Human Development Report...

...Nowadays there are a lot of regulations that prohibit discrimination on grounds of age and ethnic group that potential worker can come from. The priority of social policy in European Union and developer and developing countries is fighting with discrimination of different social groups. Integrated strategy is helping to fight down discrimination of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, believes, disability, age and sexual orientation. Most of employers say that the most important thing are qualifications, and only them should matter when it comes to hiring, but still they are more willing to employ young person than experienced fifty years old worker. The same case is when it comes to choosing between people of the same nationality as country the company is operating in, and ethnic minority. Employing the older workers have advantages as disadvantages, but it is the same case with hiring young person just after graduation. For example among older employees there are much less accidents in work, since they are more experienced, have wider knowledge and simply know how things works. The older- the wiser, as the old saying says, that is why when there is older person in the team, there are less conflicts, and even when they will appear, using the experience, those workers can simply help with coping with them. It is also important that older workers have steady family life, they do not have small kids anymore, so they can focus on their career. They do not have to take free...

...Laboratory 2: Neurosim: Membrane potentials and Action potentials INTRODUCTION NeuroSim is a computer program intended for use in teaching neurophysiology, specifically the concepts associated with the resting membrane potential and the action potential. Within the NeuroSim program is a simulation entitled HH which is based on the equations developed by English physiologists A. L. Hodgkin and A. F. Huxley (J. Physiol. Lond. 117: 500-‐542, 1952). Much of our current knowledge about the mechanisms of resting membrane potentials and action potentials comes from experiments performed by Hodgkin and Huxley on a giant nerve fiber found in the squid species Loligo forbesi (adult squid weight 3.5 lb, adult squid length 14 in). Because of the large diameter of their axons (up to 0.8 mm), it became a convenient model for elecrophysiological research using small intracellular microelectrodes (tip diameter < 0.5 μm). With two microelectrodes, researchers were able to detect an electrical potential difference between an...

...Carrie Hubeny CJUS 3152 September 10, 2014 1. What purpose do synapses serve? Everything the human body does is controlled by signals. When you move your finger, your brain sends a signal that then tells your finger to move. A synapse is the site where the axon of the presynaptic terminal is close to the dendrites of the postsynaptic terminal. The synapse is there to transfer the information from one neuron to another, but the two neurons are not physically connected. To cross the synapse, the signal is changed from an electrical signal to a chemical signal and back to an electrical signal. The synapse is where signals pass between neurons. 2. The brain is an organ that regulates body functions, behaviors, and emotions. Neurons are the cells that fulfill these functions. How do neurons do this?...

...from a single action potential? Single action potentials follow the “all or none” rule. The “all or none” rule being that if a stimulus is strong enough to depolarize the membrane of the neuron to threshold, then an action potential will be fired. Each stimulus that reaches threshold will produce an action potential that is equal in magnitude to every other action potential for the neuron. Compound action potentials do not exhibit this property since they are a bundle of neurons and have different magnitudes of action potentials. Compound action potentials are also graded, meaning the greater the stimulus, the greater the action potential. 2. Action potentials are said to be all or none responses. Why does the frog sciatic nerve give a graded response? 2. Action potentials are said to be all or none responses. Why does the frog sciatic nerve give a graded response? The frog sciatic nerve gives a graded response de to the nerve being a bundle of axons and not a single axon, resulting in it not showing the “all or none” rule of an axon. In this experiment, if one axon is generating an action potential, then a small nerve impulse will be seen. If all axons are simultaneously generating action potentials, then a large nerve impulse will be seen. This means that the sciatic nerve impulse is graded due to it being able to be none, small, medium, large, or maximal. 3. What was the smallest voltage required to produce the maximum (largest) CAP? What proportion of the nerve...

...WHITEPAPER From Leadership Potential to Promotion Success: More Accuracy, More Insight Introduction Today, organizations realize that people are their greatest asset and they invest in them accordingly. Every employee must perform at his or her best to realize maximum success. In addition, HR and business leaders understand that early identification of leaders with potential to take on significantly greater responsibility is vital to continuing their organization’s success. Traditionally, high performance has been equated with high potential. Boss nominations have been the standard for nominating people into high-potential development programs. However, bosses tend to be highly subjective and vary widely in their observations and standards for measuring potential. No two bosses define leadership potential the same way, and they disagree on who possesses it. They form opinions about people that they see often, so they necessarily miss people with great potential who work outside of their location. Adding to this conundrum of boss nominations, one study shows that only 29 percent of high performers are actually high potentials.1 Establishing a process to accurately identify individuals with leadership potential is critical in a world where companies with the best leaders win. Retaining those potential leaders long enough to realize the benefits of their promotion is just as critical. We propose that organizations can substantially increase the success rate of internal promotion...

...Exercise 1: Action Potential Threshold Using the Horizontal Compression buttons and the scroll bar display the data you wish to include in your report. Study Questions 1. How does a CAP differ from a single action potential? 1. How does a CAP differ from a single action potential? Answer CAP or compound action potential is a measure of the sum of the "all or none" single action potential of a group of fibers in a single nerve. The single action potentials are events that occur when sodium channels are activated causing the depolarization of a neuron. Single Action potentials are considered to be all or none responses, they travel down the length of the axon and then release a neurotransmitter into the synapse. CAPs occur from extracellular stimulation of the nerve. CAPs are considered to be graded meaning the greater the stimulus the greater the magnitude of the CAP because different axons have different excitation thresholds. 2. Action potentials are said to be all or none responses. Why does the frog sciatic nerve give a graded response? 2. Action potentials are said to be all or none responses. Why does the frog sciatic nerve give a graded response? Answer Frog sciatic nerves gives a graded response because of the difference in size of of the axon diameter and the inclusion of several axons rather than just a single axon. A single nerve cell containing an axon will have an all or none response because in order for an action potential to propagate down...

...desired by the potential buyers and receiving value from the potential buyers for the value that they have received. When marketers want to create something that has value to the potential buyers, marketers must know first, what do the potential buyers need or want. As a marketer, it does not make any sense if we sell something that does not have value, or if the marketers want people to purchase something that they do not need of even want. Marketers can not force anyone to do something. They can only ask them to buy their product or service. Some people might not care about what they are asking for. So, in the business of selling product or service, we know word “marketing”. Marketing is an art of identifying and meeting the people’s needs and wants. It is all about communication between two parties that profitable for the both sides by exchanging value. Marketing is not that easy to do. As we know, we can not mess with the “free will” of the people around us or people that we see as the potential buyers. It is up to them if they are willing to buy the marketers’ products or service. In this case, the marketers have to do their marketing activities. Their job is to tell people that their product or service is suit with the people’s need or want. Therefore, the marketers have to know what do people need or want. How can the marketers find out about what the people need or want? They analyze the potential buyers. They have to collect data about the potential buyers. The data...

...oxidant at pH 8 or pH 2? Explain your choice. At pH 2, MnO4– has a larger positive potential than it does at pH 8. This matters because stronger oxidants have a higher positive potentials (MnO4– reduces to MnO2). b. Is MnO2(s) easier to reduce at pH 2 or pH 10? How do the half-reactions differ at pH 2 vs. pH 10? Write a balanced equation for each. When MnO2 reduces, it is acting as an oxidant. Following the same reasoning as part a, the stronger oxidant has a higher positive potential; in this case, it is MnO2 at pH 2. At pH 2, MnO2 reduces to Mn2+ (balanced reaction: 4 H+ + 2 e– + MnO2 → Mn2+ + 2 H2O); at pH 10, MnO2 reduces to Mn2O3 (balanced reaction: H2O + 2 e– + 2 MnO2 → Mn2O3 + 2 OH–). c. What reaction occurs across the line labeled “a”? Is this a redox reaction? Give a justification. 3 Mn2O3 + H2O + 2 e– → 2 Mn3O4 + 2 OH– ; this is a redox reaction (a reduction reaction, actually) because one species is gaining electrons. Note that the reverse reaction could also occur; that is, 2 Mn3O4 + 2 OH– → 3 Mn2O3 + H2O + 2 e–. Which one will occur is dependent on the oxidation reaction. d. What reaction occurs across the line labeled “b”? Is this a redox reaction? Give a justification. As seen in part b, 4 H+ + 2 e– + MnO2 → Mn2+ + 2 H2O; this is again a redox reaction (a reduction reaction), and, similarly, Mn2+ + 2 H2O → 4 H+ + 2 e– + MnO2 can also occur, depending on what the oxidation reaction is. e. What reaction occurs across the line labeled “c”? Is this a redox reaction? Give a...
