In the International System (SI) of measurements, the unit of pressure is the Pascal, named after Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), the French scientist and philosopher who made important discoveries about air pressure. Normal air pressure at  sea level  (MSL, NN) is 1013.25 hPa or 29.92 inches of mercury. To convert between inches of mercury and hectopascals/millibars, one millibar (hPa) is equal to 0.02953 inches of mercury. aloft  hoch droben anemometer  r Windmesser atmosphere  e Atmosphà ¤re aurora borealis  s Nordlicht, (nà ¶rdliches)  Polarlicht autumn, fall  r Herbst B balmy  sanft,  lindbalmy breezes  sanfte Brisen,  linde Là ¼fte barometer  r Barometer barometric pressure  r Luftdruck black ice  s Glatteis breeze  e Brise  (-n) breezy  windig,  luftig bright  heiter C ceiling  e Wolkenhà ¶he Celsius   changeable, variable  verà ¤nderlich,  wechselhaft chilly  kà ¼hl,  frostigI feel chilly.  Mir ist kà ¼hl. chinook wind  r Fà ¶hn  (-e) der Fà ¶hn:  This warm, dry, alpine wind issimilar to a chinook wind.

Female Gable Figure Dilukai, 19th early 20th century; Belauan Wood, paint, Kaolin Chinese Clay Essay Example For Students

Female Gable Figure Dilukai, 19th early 20th century; Belauan Wood, paint, Kaolin Chinese Clay Essay The piece of work I selected caught my attention as soon as I set eyes on it. It is Female Gable Figure Dilukai a 25 2/3-inch high wooden figure of a nude woman with her legs straddled. The piece seemed to be very crudely done. It appeared to be chiseled, very abstracted and very unrealistic. Her hair appears to be in a bun, her face has no expression. The arms that lead down to her knees and upper torso look detachable. The breasts are triangular and the left breast is lopsided. There is also an additional piece of wood around the lower part of the left arm. The legs are apart and the under half of the leg in a darker color. The womans exposed genitals are represented by a large dark colored triangle. The artist carved the womans vagina in vivid detail leading me to believe this sculpture was used for some sexual purpose. The figure appears on a wall in the museum however, due to the name of the piece I imagine this piece would have been mounted over the door of a building. I had two reactions to this piece. When I first saw this piece, it got me upset. Upset in that I did not believe someone would actually look at a woman and think that a sculpture like this one would be a good idea. I immediately thought this artist has no respect for women or a womans body. Then I found it somewhat funny and ironic that although I found this piece upsetting it was one of the few pieces that caught my attention. I found myself wanting to know more about this piece and the reason behind its existence. Thus making it the piece, I would write this paper on. My response to this piece came from my thinking that whoever did this sculpture must not have thought very highly of the woman this piece is representing. To think the artist took his/her time to carve every detail of a females vagina and not pay much attention to the rest of the womans body got me a little upset. However, after reading what this piece was originally used for and the story behind it I looked at it differently. I still cannot view this piece as fine art but I accept what its original purpose was.

Culture on Public Health Leadership Style

Question: Discuss about the Culture on Public Health Leadership Style. Answer: Introduction: The author of the book states that is important for the public health leaders to be multicultural in the modern age and interact frequently with the diverse social groups (Rowitz, 2013). Culture plays an important role in determining the way people behave in an organizational setting or in a social environment. In Australia, the leaders consider the culture of the community and design the public health policies accordingly (Rowitz, 2013). For example, Australian culture does not recognize the marriage of same sex individuals. This would make the public health managers to promote the use of condoms and safe sex in the Australian culture. The culturally sensitive policies would foster mutual respect among the communities as well as empowerment of the marginalized groups (Rowitz, 2013). The infusion of cultural component in the public health policy would help the managers to find innovative methods. This would help to increase the health literacy among the people, especially from divers e cultural backgrounds. The culture component affects the public health leaders by understanding the expectations of different cultures (Rowitz, 2013). The demands as well as preferences of Australia are different with that of other countries and this should be considered by the public health manager while formulating health policies. The behavior patterns of different racial groups provide a foundation for the business practices in public health. Effect of gender on public health leadership style The gender is an important determinant in deciding the leadership style in public health. The public health policies should be aimed at addressing the composition of the target groups. It should take into account whether the group is dominated by males or they are dominated by females. The public health managers of Australia try to ensure that there is gender equality when dealing with a diverse group (Rowitz, 2013). Women are considered as inferior in some parts of the world. They are not given sufficient medical attention or there is lack of public health amenities in the areas where they reside (Rosen Imperato, 2015). This is a matter of concern for the public health managers who needs to design the organizational policies accordingly. The rural area in the developing countries requires stringent public health intervention (Khan et al., 2016). The public health managers often face the challenge of male monopoly in certain parts of the world (Rowitz, 2013). This is especially pred ominant in the developing countries and hence the public health managers should design their policies accordingly. More emphasis should be given to gender equality and the health needs of the women should be given importance. Improvement of contribution of the organization to public health The organizations should incorporate necessary changes so that they can contribute more towards the improvement of public health. It is important to do proper planning towards the public health policies. The organization should focus on specific aspects of the public health such as environmental health, behavioral health, mental health and community health. It is important to formulate separate team who would look after the public health surveillance process. The organization should allocate separate budget for the public health programs. A monitoring and evaluation team should be employed who would look after the progress of the health project in fulfilling the necessary goals of the organization. It is important to allocate sufficient time for the public health activities. The organization must strive to employ talented employees who can take care of the public health activities. There should be more participation from the organizations so that the framework of the public health pr ograms can be enhanced. The Australian public health managers should concentrate on the public health aspects including cardio-vascular diseases. References Khan, M. E., Hazra, A., Kant, A., Ali, M. (2016).
