The author writes, "Few presidents have put in longer days, worked harder, or endured greater strain. A government official who called on him early in 1863 observed that he looked 'worn and haggard' and that 'his hand trembled' when he wrote" (Gienapp 128)
33). In brief, "All existentialists… affirm the ontological priority of the human being "(Allers, 1961, p
An existential Approach The reality of trauma and shock as a result of exposure to violence and warfare is not new. As Foa and Meadows (1997) state, " the concept of trauma-related emotional disturbance has existed for over a century, having names such as shell shock, war neurosis, and rape trauma syndrome" (Foa & Meadows, 1997
This involves a number of therapeutic strategies that form an integrated part of the healing process. These include the following aspects; listening to the history of the patient; focusing on emotions; symptoms and actions; explaining the reasons for symptoms; teaching coping skills and helping with self-change "(Roysircar, 2004, p
As one study on this topic states: "Traumatic Stressors challenge one's paradigm of the self and/or world. Maimed or shattered paradigms create a state of psychological crisis until new paradigms can be adopted, for these paradigms are the basis of our psychological stability" (Vandervoort and Rokach, 2003
45 caliber pistol which he had brought home from Vietnam and kept in a cedar chest, along with his high school yearbook, his medals from Vietnam, including three Purple Heart awards and photos of his buddies killed in action. (Wilson & Thomas, 2004, p
This suggests that there are four active drug sellers for every one person incarcerated. (Caulkins and Chandler, 2006, 619)
This has also had tragic impacts upon the health of injection drug users. This includes the disruption of the provision of health care to injection drug users (IDU) and increasing risk behaviors associated with infectious disease transmission and overdose (Kerr, Small, and Wood 210)
The impact of increased drug incarceration has only been a small (1 -- 3%) reduction in violent and property crime, almost statistically nil. Estimates suggest that it is unlikely that the dramatic increase in drug imprisonment was cost-effective (Kuziemko & Levitt, 2004, 2043)
The war on drugs removes a person from their family and children lose contact with parents and caregivers. The community also loses vital members who otherwise would be contributing to it (Moore, and Elkavich 782)
Just by eliminating nonviolent offenders from the prison population could total prison costs of 16.9 billion dollars as of 2010 (Schmitt, Warner, and Gupta 13)
air force by saying "this is a political war and it calls for discriminate killing. The best weapon…would be a knife…the worst is an airplane" (Courtwright 2005, p
Although initially the American government hoped that the southern section of Vietnam would be able to wage conflict against its northern supporters (and communist supporters in the south known as the Viet Cong), it remained dependent upon the government of the South for the knowledge of foreign culture for the duration of the conflict. Still, the government's lack of prudence in Vietnamese culture was evinced during failed initiatives such as the Strategic Hamlet Program, which began in 1961 and was a joint effort between American military forces and the government of South Vietnam to relocate the population of the latter into secure camps (Herring 1971)
IT governance thus is a result of the complete merger of computer and communications technologies, like data processing and high advancement in networks, and integrated systems. (Bloomfield; Coombs; Knights; Littler, 2000) Thus the information officers are involved in the process of strategic information systems planning -- SISP which in turn could yield better business strategy or strategic options and the roles of the Information system is wide today
They must also be able to get "new knowledge and skills; and must thus acquire a variety of knowledge bases" and are the victims of increasing work intensity seem to make the work tedious with attrition. (Docherty; Forslin; Shani, 2002) Thus loss of key personnel has a major impact on the quality
The structure of the organization also includes the routines and learning capabilities and adaptation to the changing roles in the work place and information processing. (Earl, 1988) The major goal is to integrate information systems/information technology with the corporate strategy to use information for better governance and management
It is also used for the process implementation and for evaluation. (Emam, 2001) The definitions of the process also decide the quality
(Kliem; Ludin, 1994) Systems development often uses different approaches and tools such as traditional development, prototyping, rapid application development, end-user development, computer-aided software engineering, and object-oriented development to select, implement, and monitor projects. (Golden, 2011) The very concept of the software and hardware creation and the use of components are changing day by day and new innovations are creating better software and systems that no more can be fit into the old mold
The basic paradigm of development is now old. (Kliem; Ludin, 1994) It is contended that development methods must change with the demands of the developing technology
Even in a small operation the information system ought to have better tracking functions, "data analysis and reporting, vendor management, customer databases processing and marketing analysis feasibility." (Lagana, 2004) Only when such an integrated system is developed tailor made to the business, can the efficiency required to be competitive be perceived in the business
