identical types or frequencies of crime. To address these differences, Eck and Clarke (2007) outline seven factors believed to influence a facility’s risk of criminal events as high or low including: variation in size, location, hot products, crime attractors, repeat victimization, poor management and poor design and layout. While no singular reason for variations among like facilities exist, it remains important to determine the contributing features of each so appropriate crime prevention measures
Leadership Influence A school’s lifeblood is its students however, a school’s lifeline stems from the community partnerships that it forms and retains over the years of its existence in the community. Just as times change, so does the list of potential partners within the community. One of the most valuable resources a school can use in its quest to form community partnerships is the faces, voices, and support of its leadership staff. Schools typically have an internal chain of command; however,
Chaos Theory Since its inception, science relied on predictability and order. The true beauty of science was its uncanny ability to find patterns and regularity in seemingly random systems. For centuries the human mind as easily grasped and mastered the concepts of linearity. Physics illustrated the magnificent order to which the natural world obeyed. If there is a God he is indeed mathematical. Until the 19th century Physics explained the processes of the natural world successfully, for the
Flyfishing for trout isn’t a complicated, difficult sport. A close look reveals that a successful flyfisherman has mastered several basic abilities: casting smoothly and accurately, knowing how to select a fly that trout will eat on a given day, presenting a fly in a manner that is enticing to trout, and fighting and landing hooked fish. It’s all about problem solving, one step at a time. The following 10 pointers will help you execute those key elements of flyfishing, whether you’ve just gotten
always chaotic instead they will behave predictably for a certain period and then seemingly randomly ill shift into chaotic behaviour. These types of systems can be mapped using simple chaotic systems which often exhibit patterns called strange attractors which demonstrate the system jumping into different modes of behaviour. The chaos in stock markets are caused due to the human psychology of trading which is never completely rational due to many outside factors. By analysing the statistical data
Time has changed the way organisations operate. Contemporary organisations not only need to compete for reputation and tangible organisational resources, but also participate in the ‘war for talent’ (Bartlett & Ghoshal 2002). Bartlett and Ghoshal (2002) described the ‘war for talent’ as competing for talented and skilled workers by attracting them to work for the organisation as well as retaining their loyalty. Hence, this paper will focus upon three strategies of Human Resource Management (HRM)
Fullan discusses five components of leadership in a culture of change, in the book Leading in a Culture of Change (2001). The first component is moral purpose – making a positive change on the life of employees. “To strive to improve the quality of how we live together is moral purpose of the highest order (Fullan, 2001, p. 14). The second component is the understanding change process. Fullan list six ideas that help understand the change process 1) the goal is not to innovate the most; 2) it is

and away from pollution and misapplication of resources, is yet another example of the “system” (Gaia) attempting to evolve toward a more fit social structure, and to dampen the disturbances that are taking the system away from its state space attractor (its tendency toward homeostasis in the current configuration).
offender and victim are within the same environment, the potential offender may seize the opportunity to commit a crime when the chance presents itself. Environments that are highly populated such as shopping centres, bus stops and schools act as crime attractors, where crime is likely to occur in because there are suitable targets and there is a lack of guardianship. Potential offenders must take spatial awareness into consideration, as the surroundings play an influential role in the result of the crime
train cars, or buildings, is art. Graffiti straddle the line between pure art or pure vandalism. Graffiti may be a challenge to the law and sometime serve as social commentary about the subjectivity of laws. Some refer to graffiti as a violence attractor. Although many consider the spray painted pieces a nuisance, graffiti has been gaining recognition from the art world more and more as a legitimate form of art. Many say the gun inside the drawing will encourage killing and violence. Graffiti is
states that just like the flap of a butterfly's wings might eventually cause a tornado, any small cause can have a large effect. The term for this already known theory was coined by Edward Lorenz who is well known for the Chaos Theory and Lorenz Attractor. From short stories such as "A Sound of Thunder" to the cult classic "Back to the Future", the Butterfly Effect has always been apart of pop culture in some form. In the 1998 iconic film "Sliding Doors" the main protagonist is shown in parallel of
opinion. As a society, we have the right to think that way, but it is not a fact. If somebody thought the Mona Lisa was ugly, does that make it any less art? Of course not, that is just one’s opinion. Others will refer to graffiti as a “violence attractor.” Many say the guns inside some of the drawings will lead to more violence and more killings. Referring to guns does not kill people; the people who pull the trigger kill people. During ancient times, the first forms of scripture and storytelling
Birth of the Universe Your universe, as we have suggested many times, as we've suggested already this morning, is but one universe among many. It is relatively a small universe — not to suggest that you should feel badly … {laughter} … for despite the consensus reality that bigger is better, despite the male-dominating energy and the comparative energies that say "bigger is better," your universe, though relatively small, is not at all diminished by its size. Now we know the word universe by
Chaos in Art and Literature Abstract: The following paper deals with the expanding world of the new science of chaos. Chaos is unique because it can be applied to all the core sciences, and more importantly it can be applied to subjects not considered to be science. The paper below deals with the evidence of chaos in literature and art, and how it functions in this world. While many aspects of the chaos present in art and literature are different from the science of chaos, some similarities
Most will agree that culture is an important (if not critical) aspect of an organization's success. Culture is an attractor of talent (employees), as well as customers. This article will explore management's role in building and affecting organizational culture. Culture at Southwest Airlines Herb Kelleher, the co-founder and retired CEO of Southwest Airlines was the chief architect of the organization's culture. Numerous articles have been written about Kelleher's leadership style and approach to
System [14] etc.display chaotic behavior. A hyper chaos system is considered as a chaotic attractor having more than one positive Lyapunov exponents which gives the randomness and higher unpredictability of the corresponding system so the hyper chaos may be more useful in some fields such as communication, encryption etc. On the other hand the area which attracted much attention is chaos synchronization since the seminal work of Pecora and Carroll [12] recently synchronization of fractional-order
Asymptotic analysis is a key tool to study nonlinear difference equations which arise in the mathematical modelling of real-world phenomena. It is not expected that explicit solutions can be found for the solutions of nonlinear difference equations; however, some nonlinear equations can be transformed into equivalent linear equations by a change of dependent variable. In this work, we transform a discrete logistic equation, which is a nonlinear difference equation, into a linear equation and we determine
The Gaussian distribution—a function that tells the probability that any real observation will fall between any two real limits or real numbers, as the curve approaches zero on either side. It is a very commonly occurring continuous probability distribution. In theory, Gaussian distributions are extremely important in statistics and are often used in the natural and social sciences for real-valued random variables whose distributions are not known. Gaussian distributions are also sometimes referred
