Her stories are sensitive revelations of human behaiour in quite ordinary situations, through which we can glimpse a powerful and sometimes cruelly pessimistic view of life. Miss Brill is one of her short stories published in her collection of stories entitled The Garden Party and Other Stories (2007), describing an afternoon in the life of a middle-aged spinster who visits the public park on a weekly basis, leading to her reassessment of her view of the world and the secular reality. Short as it is, it is really worth carful analysis and appreciation. This paper will mainly deal with the theme--alienation that the story conveys in two aspects: some obvious alienate elments in Miss Brill, in which some background information is provided; some less obvious alienation in Miss Brill, in which a detailed analysis is made into the story to reveal its alienation.展开更多

The performance of a business organisation is in part dependent on the capability of its human resource (HR). The knowledge and experience of employees is a source of competitive advantage, however, whether this is realised or not may depend on having the right HR policies. Managers therefore seek to implement best practice, and in multinationals there is the potential for intra-organizational learning across national boundaries. The human being is the most important element in the development process and its ultimate goal. Attention to the management of human affairs and the effort to make man an effective contributing member in the development plans within organizations, is the responsibility of those working in the field of human resources management (HRM) which has become a distinguished field of management worldwide and plays an important role especially in the developing countries. This study discussed personnel management to HRM and how HRM functions.展开更多

Pedestrians have been considered as a high-risk group among road users, especially in middle- or low-income communities. This study attempted to determine the burden of pedestrians' fatalities in Fars, the southern province of Iran using years of life lost (YLL) approach. Methods: The data used in this study were retrieved from Fars Forensic Medicine Organization database on pedestrian traffic accidents. The YLL from 2009 to 2013 was estimated using the method presented by World Health organization. Some epidemiological characteristics of pedestrians' fatalities were analyzed by SPSS. Results: Although YLL among 1000 male pedestrians decreased from 2.5 in 2009 to 1.5 in 2013, it increased from 0.9 to 2.1 among 1000 females during the same period. Higher proportion of death was found in female, illiterate, and married pedestrians {p 〈 0.001 ). In addition, mortality was higher in pedestrians living the cities, during daytime, at home, and in hospitals (p 〈 0.001 ). Conclusion: Consistent with the global trends, burden of pedestrian accidents in Fats was also excep- tionally high. Considering the national and cultural aspects of different countries, improving the safety of pedestrians demands a multi-dimensional approach with interventional factors concerning policies, rules, pedestrians, motor vehicles and environmental conditions taken into consideration.展开更多
