Curren, Erik. "Should Their Eyes Have Been Watching God? Hurston's Use of Religious Experience and Gothic Horror." African American Review, Vol. 29, Iss. 1 (1995), 17-25. An exploration of the novel that rebuts and contrasts with earlier analyses that call Their Eyes an "affirmative quest" story. Curren's thesis is that these analyses in fact discount the entire final third of the book which is rife with horror, violence and tragedy, and asserts that what Hurston has done is not so much write an "affirmative quest" of the African folklore experience but tell a story that switches genres from "quest" to gothic horror. He then builds a methodical case for Hurston's deliberate intent to use gothic horror and her reasons for doing so-primarily, an anti-religious viewpoint that in this work is a fundamental underpinning of both gothic horror in general and its uses here.

The Journal of ports Behavior is a peer-reviewed journal focused upon research in sports psychology and its articles are not directed towards a popular audience. According to Cox & Yoo (1995) in this early study of the sports psychology and football, not only do different players of different sports share distinct psychological features: even within the sport of football, a players' position and his or her personality dimensions can often be quite unique. The authors begin with a literature review of previous studies which used the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) and yielded the finding that "successful linemen were more organized, predictable, and practical than successful backfield players. uccessful defensive backs were reported to be decidedly more introverted than other…...

This study of Stokes (et al. 2010) was intended to see if behavioral coaching could improve the performance of high school athletes, specifically improving the "offensive line pass-blocking skills of high school football athletes" (Stokes et al. 2010). Five football players were selected for the study, specifically because of their sub-par passing ability. To test the success of the intervention, "measurement during the pass-blocking drill was conducted at weekly practice sessions" (Stokes et al. 2010). Later, "the performance of several of the athletes was also measured during game conditions and a maintenance phase when they returned for a second season. Additional evaluation included a social validity assessment in which the athletes rated the relative value of each of the intervention procedures" (Stokes et al. 2010). Athletes were given descriptive and video feedback to improve their skills.
Overall, descriptive feedback did not improve skills. But "video feedback combined with descriptive feedback was consistently superior to descriptive feedback alone in improving pass blocking" as did teaching with acoustical guidance (TAG). "TAG is formally similar to concurrent feedback by which an auditory stimulus follows a target behavior that is demonstrated under real-time conditions:" as in the case of the study a siren is the auditory stimulus used (Stokes et al. 2010). This suggests that different types of stimulus can improve performance in the short-term. However, the players did not retain the improvements in the second session, suggesting deterioration occurred without positive reinforcement.

Bette Case reviews an organizational scheme for adult learning called 'AIR', short for active involvement, individual differences, and relevance and motivation. Of the three learning strategies, active involvement is given the most attention. Active involvement seems to capture any learning technique that empowers the students and moves beyond the traditional didactic format for communicating knowledge and skills. The central thesis of active involvement seems to be teaching students how to be self-directed in the learning process. Students should be encouraged to take part in defining the competency objectives, choosing the learning method, and determining the evaluation criteria. Linear lessons plans could also be dispensed with and replaced with collaborative mind maps or matrices. A large number of examples and suggestions are provided to move the students out from behind the desk…...

Performance Management Strategies Used by Organizations in the Private and Public Sectors
Having already established the importance of performance management to an organization's overall strategy, it makes sense to use the final project to gain insight into the specific strategies used by organizations in executing their performance management plans. Rather than take a general approach, however, the researcher will focus on comparing the PM strategies used by profit-motivated organizations with those used by their counterparts in public agencies. There has been concern that organizations in the public sector do not pay a lot of emphasis to the aspect of performance management and that, hence, most public sector employees exhibit low levels of motivation and take their jobs as nothing more than just a job. This low motivation translates to time-wasting, repetitive work, unmet targets, and poor service delivery - all of which come back to haunt the taxpayer in the…...

It is a widely-accepted fact that performance management is crucial for organizational effectiveness and organizational success. However, most studies have adopted a general approach, and very few have actually focused on showing significance of the same in specific industries. This article focuses on showing how performance management relates to success for organizations in the IT industry.
It adds to the proposed project by providing crucial insight on the specific strategies that IT companies could adopt to boost performance, including creation of a culture of continuous feedback and accountability, developing effective communication frameworks, aligning goals and performance with organizational strategy, and the use of such PM tools as Six Sigma and Total Quality Management. The researcher will compare these with the best practices presented in other studies to determine how applicable the said strategies are to organizations in other industries.

This cross-sectional, descriptive research's objective is assessment of academic dishonesty in Turkish university-level nursing students. The sample size for this research was 196 students. Data collection employed two instruments, which, on an average, could be completed in about 10 to 15 minutes: 1) A questionnaire, for gleaning socio-demographic data (i.e., age, sex, class, family structure, education, and educators' and parents' attitudes (e.g., democratic, permissive, repressive, etc.)); and 2) the Academic Dishonesty Tendency Scale, whose validity and reliability was examined by testing on 262 individuals. As per this research, Cronbach's alpha in relation to the above scale's sub-dimensions was .71 -- .82, .90 overall. Descriptive statistics (i.e., means, percentages, frequencies, standard deviations, etc.) were applied for data analysis of demographic data. One-way analysis of…...
mlaUnethical conduct in the nursing education setting is a growing issue that severely disturbs the learning-teaching environment, frequently leading to stressful associations between teaching staff and students. Nursing educators exhibiting respectful, positive conduct, stimulate such conduct in their pupils as well. On the other hand, nursing educators who are disinterested, reserved, and deprecate others, may elicit hostility among their pupils. Therefore, nurse educators must behave ethically for cultivating a positive bond with students and developing a supportive and safe atmosphere. This research intends to determine perception, among El-Minia nursing faculty's students, staff, and nurse educators, of unethical conduct in the field of nursing education. The research's setting was the aforementioned nursing faculty and the overall El-Minia University Hospital. A total of 300 individuals constituted the sample for this research: of these, 200 were students from the 4 academic years (i.e., 50 students each were taken from the different academic years), 50 were nursing staff members, and the remaining 50 were nurse educators. Data was gathered using a questionnaire created for gauging unethical practices in the area of nursing education. This research's findings suggest that the academic unethical conducts most witnessed were aggression, abuse of one's station, and indifference towards others. Furthermore, a difference of high statistical significance was observed between the sample's average scores of unethical conduct in nursing education settings. The performance of a research aimed at inspecting effect of unethical conduct by nursing students on nursing educators and the profession of nursing, in general, was recommended.

852 individuals pursuing a Bachelor's degree in pharmacy from a university in Australia completed a survey tool consisting of ten hypothetical scenarios for students. These scenarios were applicable to existing evaluation modes, and offered levels of ambiguity involving academic integrity. Classification of unethical hypothetical students, especially in the scenarios that were intentionally vague, was unrelated to participants' gender or course year. Students in a lower postsecondary course year proved to be more definitive while interpreting controversial cases. Participants belonging to all four academic years reported being witness to several such behaviors committed by their peers. The research offered new insight into ambiguity concerning academic integrity as well as perception of students with regard to the unintentional or deliberate engagement of other parties.

The Protestant School of thought is discussed in great detail to provide a relationship between key rituals and social practices for marriages, social status, women rights, and treatment. Baptism is described as generally accepted and clerical and was preferred over emergency baptism.
The article has a clear position regarding the decline of spousals as significant in caparison with changes in marriage doctrine. The secular pressures are considered relevant to improvise social pressures in decline of spousals. The cash artifacts have an important role to play in women marriages. The brides regarded spousal's as an important part of the weddings. It provided recognition of economic in dependability. Another notable reason for lower applicability of Spousal's is remarked as emergence of giving daughter their portions at the time of their adulthood. It is also stated that the symbolic value of the economic independence was required to be replaced by actual actions with correct timings as required in an individual's age. The German weddings are considered as diverse; however, later development also influenced English marriages. The revolutionary changes are regard as welcoming and had been observed as having a positive impact on the attitudes and significant role of gender.
The research articulates that marriage had brought changes in the women's life rather than men. The women had to experience an altogether different marriage cycle than men. The notable changes are in terms of their titles and affiliations. The religious aspect also contributed in upholding these changes as changes in the dressing rules as well as their social conduct was also influenced by marriages. The article significantly relates to gender, marriages, and sexuality treatments. The changes in experienced by women are defined as important in terms of gender and marriages. The research conducted by Payling (2001) is also considered relent to the findings and research work conducted throughout the article. The relationship between two researches can also be developed through the age of conducting related work.

Beowulf: A dual-language edition. (1977). NY: Doubleday. One of the most striking examples of literature to come out of the Dark Ages was Beowulf, created by an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet and considered by many scholars to be the most important work of its time. There is no official date to the work, but it has been traced to somewhere between the 8th and the early 11th Century. The work is important because of its length and quality, but also because of the tale it tells and how it brought a strong focus to literature and art both in the Dark Ages and after the country emerged from that time period. It focuses on Beowulf's defeat of Grendel, a monster that is terrorizing the King of the Danes. As the main character, Beowulf travels a great distance to prove himself as a hero by slaying Grendel.

Research suggests that children adopted from institutions experience specific learning and emotional difficulties. The study by Wiik et al. compared two groups of eight- to eleven-year-old children, one group comprised of non-adopted children and the other group comprised of children internationally adopted from foster care. The results indicated increased levels of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the group of adoptees, who also had higher reported levels of externalizing symptoms. The researchers concluded that, at least in middle childhood, adoptees differ from non-adopted peers.
Mercer, like Bowen, focuses upon potentially negative social forces that could potentially impact the critical relationship at the heart of the theory. But once again, these potential negatives are rooted to some extent in biological as well as social and psychological factors. "Young maternal age and immaturity, socioeconomic status" are all potential red flags particularly since they have been shown to reduce the likelihood that the mother will breastfeed and 'bond' with the child in a meaningful fashion (Husmillo 2013: 47). A lack of appropriate mother-child bonding is seen as having significant psychological consequences for the baby over the course of its existence, as well as the fact that a failure to breastfeed and to reinforce trust and security for the child can result in compromised long-term health and a failure to thrive.
Mercer's theory is thus aimed to support a particular type of wellness promotion for the children involved.…...

Given that we currently live in a media-saturated universe that gives rise to all sorts of outlandish fantasies about the nature of reality, and the fact that the threat of fascism seems to loom everywhere - many nations around the world are ruled by authoritarian dictators - this point-of-view seems vital when discussing such a highly allegorical film as Pan's Labyrinth.

Thomas Dekker called debt the 'city gout.' His observations in debtor's prison are recorded in his work English Villainies Discovered by Lantern and Candlelight. Dekker described the prisoners using a series of complex metaphors, spanning from caged animals to diseases of the body politic. His tone fuses mixture of pity and revulsion. Of justices who condemn the prisoners, he said: "the sickman sends to his doctor, the wounded man to his surgeon: you [the JPs] are both, and the common-wealth…...
mlaMuldrew, Craig. "A Mutual Assent of Her Mind'? Women, Debt, Litigation and Contract in Early Modern England." History Workshop Journal, 55 (2003): 47-71.
Article Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/4289827
This article is a discussion specifically about women and debt in Elizabethan England; specifically the 'problem' that women debtors presented because they were legally subsumed into the person of their husbands. The article contains important general information about how debt and credit were used in Dekker's time. "The economy of the early modern period worked on the basis of sales credit. The number of coins was limited and almost all buying and selling was done on the basis of verbal promises or informal notes which were legally interpreted as contracts" (Muldrew 48). Debt was a common, even necessary state of affairs. Shopkeeper's inventories show long lists of women creditors; women were often primarily responsible for marketing; they looked after shops. Money management was considered a moral obligation because women in actual fact often had profound legal responsibilities pertaining to debts. The reliance upon debt to make the economy function made it a very serious offense to renege upon debt, hence the severity of debtor's prisons.
The liberties that the author took with the English language, however, are very likely indicative of liberties taken with the information presented in the article itself. The claim, for instance, that "midwives were...the first holistic practitioners of the past" is highly suspect. Leaving aside the elusive meaning of being the "first of the past" in something (we will assume the author simply meant, "the first"), it appears as though the author is trying to say that midwives were the first known practitioners of natural medicine, or perhaps of complimentary nature- and inquiry-based practices. This claim might be true, though given the knowledge of very ancient medical practices it seems unlikely, but the author does not provide any citation or even a scrap of supporting evidence or comparison to establish this idea. The claim is made, and then the paragraph moves on. This is not the way that solid research or…...

Enhancing Organization and Structure in Annotated Bibliographies Using Outlines
An annotated bibliography is a structured list of references with brief annotations or summaries of each source. It is a valuable research tool that allows researchers to organize and evaluate their sources and create a concise overview of the literature on a particular topic. Outlines play a crucial role in enhancing the organization and structure of annotated bibliographies by providing a clear framework and logical flow.
