Enhanced Fujita Scale

To elaborate further on social cognitive career theory (SCCT), Hackett, Lent and Brown (2000) discussed strategies for which SCCT counselors should navigate through their clients’ career obstacles. First, Hackett et al. (2000) stated that SCCT focuses on the interaction of individual aspects such as self-efficacy, result outcomes, and future goals, and how those interactions contribute to career development (Hackett, Lent, & Brown, 2000). To begin their evaluation, the authors analyzed…

Appraisal My link to the strand is Syncopation and my composition is written in a reggae style. I like the offbeat feel of this style of music and syncopation was something I wanted to explore within it. A well-known Caribbean musician is Bob Marley and I know that he uses a lot of syncopation in one of his best songs “three little birds”. In this song you can hear the syncopation in the hi-hat, cymbals, organ and guitar; playing the chords. In this way, he plays with our expectations of where…

The term ‘attitude’ is widely used in everyday language to refer to one’s opinion about something, or the behaviour linked to it. We develop attitudes towards anything we can interact with, ranging from people or social groups, animals, objects, situations or specific behaviors. Defined by Allport as a key concept in social psychology (1935, p.798), attitudes help us deal with everything around us and, ultimately, define us as individuals and social group members. This essay will cover how…

Our Research proposal objectives are to determine if ergonomic workstations in the clinical laboratory will reduce the risk of occupational injuries. Our literature review will analyze published data regarding ergonomic implementation in the workplace. We will then formulate an argument to explain the purpose of our study. Conclusively, a research design will express our recommendations for how to develop and implement successful ergonomic workstations for clinical laboratory technologists.…

this, I will be using a Guttmann scale. This will enable me to incorporate both a dichotomous scale and a Likert scale. A dichotomous scale is when a question has two possible responses. A Likert scale is a type of rating scale that measures how someone feels about a certain topic containing degrees of feeling. With multiple Likert questions in a survey Cronbach’s alpha helps measure its reliability. Cronbach’s alpha is computed by correlating the score for each scale item with the total score…

Where No Man Has Gone Before “Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying” (A.C. Clarke, n.d.) Since the discovery of the greater universe, mankind has looked to the stars and wondered whether or not other forms of intelligent life were among them. Some say that humanity is alone in the cold void of outer space, claiming that other civilizations would have found Earth by now had they existed in the first place. Others believe that…

Hurricanes Hurricanes form when warm ocean water evaporates into energy. When the water vapor condenses it sends out energy. The energy builds up and drives the wind of the hurricane Once the hurricane is overland the energy reduces. Hurricane winds are not as strong as tornado wind. Hurricanes can last days. Hurricanes are hundreds of kilos wide. Hurricanes can cause big waves that can cause flooding. Tornadoes Many layers, of the tornado go in many different directions and speeds. Between…

1. What things would you have to consider when building a shelter? When building a shelter the first thing I will consider is the weather. Depending of the weather of where I am building my shelter will determine on how strong and sturdy I would have to build my shelter. With taking into consideration the changing seasons, I would make sure I had a strong roof that would not sink in when it rained or snowed. Also, I would build strong poles to hold my roof so it does not easily collapse when it…

Hurricanes and tornados are both forms of natural disasters that have the potential to cause great devastation. They are caused by the unpredictability in atmospheric environments. A common delusion is that they are the same type of system, but with a different name; however, this is far from being true. Hurricanes and tornadoes have similar traits, but they also have many differences. Although they both share similar makings and features, they are different structures altogether. Both…
