Convergence

protect the wellbeing of society. In the study conducted, the authors look at the dynamics of a fragile society and how the interactions amongst the various groups in that region, affect the response to fragile situations. According to the author, “Convergence across groups in society is essential for reducing fragility” (39-40). This study specifically analyzes the role that social groups play when individuals are confronted with…

society pushing for divergence and convergence, and there are no natural forces to stopping this.1 As Piketty describes, convergence is the diffusion of knowledge and the investment into training and developing skills, and this is fundamental to growing our productivity as a nation and diminishing the amount of inequalities, both in and outside of our country.1 This is important to note because depending on the amount the next leaders of our country push for convergence in the lives of everyone…

Who was Alfred Wegener? Alfred Wegener was born in Berlin, Germany on November 1, 1880. He was a meteorologist (a person who studies the atmosphere and its weather (Meteorology, n.d.)) and geologist (a person who studies about the Earth’s history through rocks, layers of soil, etc. (Geology, n.d.)). In the early twentieth century, Wegener championed the continental drift theory. In 1904, he attended University of Berlin, where is he studied natural sciences also, received his doctorate in…

expertise in teaching U.S. GAAP, however, expertise in IFRS is limited. Adding international standards to an already complex and robust accounting curriculum would require the teaching of two sets of standards. A year later, it is clear that until the convergence becomes mandatory, both standards must be covered. The big four accounting firms are now requiring that new hires be familiar with IFRS, while some of the regional firms are also expecting the students to be aware of IFRS at some level…

The technological convergence is the merging of old media, such as newspapers and radio, with the new media, such as laptops and computers through the internet. With this merging someone could watch their favorite television show whenever they wanted to, either over the internet…

media landscape is inadvertently increasing the prevalence of distorted body image among young women in America. Media convergence in its simplest terms is the global phenomenon of the merging of new and old media. The ubiquitous nature of media convergence has revealed the dark side of some of the world’s most prominent brands. This report takes a look at how media convergence fuels the seemingly stagnant, distorted “ideal” female body image. Nearly all forms of modern media portray…

names’. However, the gradual entrenchment of using ‘real names’ will grow because of the media and technological convergence. These two factors brought about “new practices and opportunities” (Boyd 2008). When the structure of disparate social contexts collapsed into a uniform platform, social convergence emerged to fill its place instead. Henceforth, it is safe to assume that social convergence and context collapse are comparably referring to the same…

The Ackley function is a well-known optimization problem that utilized for comparison the performance of the method in searching the best answer and its convergence speed. To obtain best reactor core configuration with FGSA, a fitness function that satisfies the goals and related constraints with NTH properties, is prepared. The NTH goals in multi objective optimization are to maximize (Keff, CHF) and minimizing…

However, there are shortcomings to both of the theories and the earlier findings. First, it is hard to clarify the processes through which convergence occurs. For example: it is possible that Dutch policy on refugees is influenced by prevailing norms on human rights, but it is also possible that it is influenced by something else. In other words, the theories support the findings, but do not automatically…

Thus, the first aim of this study was to evaluate the cross-task convergence of AB measurement across the DP paradigm, Posner paradigm, and WSAP task. The second aim of this study was to assess the relationship between trait anxiety and the three measures of AB. Hypotheses: We predicted that 1) all three measures of AB (DP…
