    Design of an Integrated Database System for Optimizing Laundry Services

    Full text link
    The rapid advancement of technology has brought significant changes across various sectors, including service industries like laundry. Many laundry businesses still rely on manual, paper-based record-keeping, which is prone to errors, data loss, and inefficiencies in information retrieval. This traditional method also makes it difficult for business owners to monitor transactions and manage customers effectively. Therefore, this study aims to design a database system that can manage laundry transactions more efficiently, accurately, and structurally. The research methodology includes direct observation of laundry operations and a literature review on database systems. The database design process consists of three main stages: conceptual, logical, and physical. In the conceptual stage, key entities such as customers, employees, services, transactions, and memberships are identified. The logical stage implements relational schemas using an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) to ensure entity relationships and eliminate data redundancy. The physical stage involves implementing the database design into a Database Management System (DBMS) and testing through anomaly scenarios in insertion, deletion, and updates to ensure data integrity and consistency. The study results indicate that the designed database system enhances laundry operational efficiency by providing more accurate transaction records, faster data retrieval, and improved data security. The use of constraints in the database helps maintain data validity, reduce duplication risks, and improve system reliability in transaction management. With this system, laundry business owners can easily monitor business activities, enhance service quality, and optimize marketing strategies based on customer data. By implementing a structured database system, laundry businesses are expected to adapt to technological advancements, increase competitiveness, and provide more professional services to customers

    "Midlife Crises": Understanding the Changing Nature of Relationships in Middle Age Canadian Families

    Full text link
    This paper focuses on the transitions that mark middle age (e.g., the ‘empty nest’, caregiving) and are triggered by the occurrence of life events in families (e.g., adult children leaving home, care for aging parents). It is noted that home-leaving by adult children has been taking longer in recent years, and in many instances adult children return to their natal home after having left. Support for older parents is becoming a significant issue in Canada as a result of population aging. Of course, the experience of such life events as taking care of older parents varies according to individuals’ situations, and these can be quite varied. The paper therefore examines some of the diversity of mid-life families by describing patterns of separation and divorce, remarriage, same-sex relationships, and childlessness. It concludes with a discussion of the relationship between mid-life families and social policy.midlife, families, and intergenerational relationships

    Caymanianness, history, culture, tradition, and globalisation : assessing the dynamic interplay between modern and traditional(ist) thought in the Cayman Islands

    Full text link
    The research undertaken for this largely qualitative dissertation draws on newspaper articles, oral histories, historical documentation, open-ended interviews, and to a lesser extent, questionnaires, in the effort to ultimately confirm the extent to which the benefitting forces of globalization have fractured any existing traditional-historical cultural body of knowledge and expression among the Caymanian people. Indeed, by 2009 some Caymanians had long been verbally denouncing the social and cultural ills of globalization – inclusive of multiculturalism – on their so-called traditional, unassuming way of life, some of them clamoring for an extensive purge of the many foreign nationals in “their” Cayman Islands. Yet, other Caymanians have become somewhat invested in the idea of multicultural “oneness” ostensibly for the sake of peaceful coexistence, harmony and prosperity as these work towards the promotion of a global, borderless cultural awareness. This dissertation relies on theoretical frames centred both on the discrete natures of, and the dualistic struggle between, these two opposing ideological-cultural forces. That this struggle is taking place in the present age, I anticipate the ways in which more modern understandings, which are potentially open to liberating subjectivities, must clash with “historical”, xenophobic and nationalistic viewpoints, viewpoints which have constantly proven contradictory given their adherents’ complacent acceptance of, and participation in, a localised economic prosperity substantively dependent on foreign input. Thus in aggregate terms, this dissertation pinpoints the various effects of an evolving scheme of values and counter-values on an ideologically torn Caymanianness whose contradictory traditional half is especially fighting for its “cultural purity” in an era where its ‘reinvented’ logic is being more and more regarded as anachronistic and somewhat irrational

    Translation and westernisation in Turkey (from the 1840s to the 1980s)

    Full text link
    This thesis examines the role and function translations played in Turkish history, especially within the framework of its Westernisation movement from the mid-nineteenth to the late twentieth centuries. A descriptive approach is adopted, aiming to identify cultural patterns which shape and reflect translational decisions and help to a better portrayal of the socio-cultural context of translation during the time span examined. To this end, the thesis seeks to describe in detail historical, political, literary and linguistic factors which have affected the translation activity. The main assumption of this thesis is that acculturation was used as the main strategy in translations from Western languages during the periods which were marked with an extensive translation activity, especially during the nineteenth century and the first decades of the Republican era. This acculturation strategy not only helped to enrich the target literary system, bringing new literary models (genres), new subject matter, developing the language and giving rise to a new Turkish literature, it also had an effect upon the broader socio-cultural polysystem, especially on the process of identity creation. The analysis of the social, political and cultural conditions and policies suggests that the status given both to the source and target cultures has been the main factor for the acculturation. As examined in the last part of the thesis, a shift of power relations in the Turkish context, especially after the 1980s, marked a new kind of an acculturation strategy and a certain movement of resistance. The thesis concludes that there is need to know more about different translation histories in order to learn more about the acculturation process and to move beyond a Eurocentric view, and an interdisciplinary approach should be taken for such research

    People, international projects and public administration : interpreting the international human resource management frame

    No full text
    International public sector projects bring the Finnish public sector into contact with management thinking related to international assignments and international project work. In business literature especially practices related to IHRM have been posited as a potential avenue for making sense of international work experience of individuals and providing the formation of more systematic management practices. IHRM research in business schools is well established, but IHRM research focusing on the international people aspects of public administration is scarce. Drawing on a reflexive analysis of management literature and empirical material produced in a qualitative interview study of Finnish public sector international project professionals within the EU funded Twinning projects, this thesis argues that in public sector context IHRM is a mixed blessing. Mainstream accounts about international assignments and international project work are problematised in the research using IHRM as a cultural frame that includes the elements of international assignment cycle and project HRM practice areas. The results show that identity construction that has taken place during international assignments might not be accommodated after repatriation to Finnish public sector work, and that the role of international projects in developing personnel was often viewed to be a missed opportunity. From management perspective projects were viewed to be resource-intensive and somewhat detached from other public sector activities. Furthermore, postcolonial dynamics and failures to interpret bureaucratic scripts in international project work prompt an element of potential friction that should be addressed more thoroughly. Considering these findings, it is concluded that IHRM vocabulary must be enhanced when translated into public sector project environment. Building mainly on concepts in social anthropology and pragmatist philosophy, it is suggested that IHRM frame can be conceptualised as a boundary object between administration cultures. It is suggested that an approach to IHRM that would go beyond managerial thinking should be further developed. In this incorporating an element of critical reflection of the metatheoretical assumptions would enable IHRM to become more 10 People, International Projects and Public Administration aware of its caveats. With such a conceptualisation of IHRM in place, the focus shifts to operating in between the different administration ultures, in the interstitial, and to reflecting actor’s own position.ei tietoa saavutettavuudest

    The political economy of pensions : power, politics and social change : a comparative study of Canada, Britain and the United States

    Full text link
    This thesis suggests that the pension systems in the advanced capitalist countries of Canada, Britain and the United States are on the verge of a crisis and that the problems associated with the marginalization and immiseration of the elderly, the universal and specific limitations of employer-based occupational pension plans and the underdevelopment of the state pension system are inherently and organically linked to the structure of private pension fund power. The impending pension crisis in these countries is explained by four converging structural considerations: first, the inadequate level of retirement income of the elderly; second, the increasing proportion of elderly in the population and the costs associated with an aging population; third, the general and particular limitations of the private pension system; fourth, under conditions of advanced capitalism, the corporate sector and state appropriating the occupational and state pension systems as a source of investment and social capital respectively to meet their finance requirements. The pension system now occupies a strategic position in advanced capitalist economies. The increasing economic power of pension funds is based on their role as financial intermediaries and institutional investors, with significant control over the economic surplus and reserve capital. The structure of pension fund power exhibits itself through formal and informal linkages to financial capital. The private pension system's investment and capital accumulation function has been transformed from a latent to a manifest function to supply the investment requirements of the economy and private sector. The private pension industry, characterized by a high degree of concentration and centralization of capital, increasingly facilitates the systemic fusion of the finance and industrial sectors of advanced capitalist economies. The symbiotic relationship between the corporate sector and private pension industry is identified as the primary economic and political obstacle to reforming and expanding the state pension system in the countries studied. It is concluded that the dynamic of the conflicting structural interests underlying the pension crisis may generate a heightened awareness of power and politics in capitalist countries by transcending the traditional limitations of economism and welfarism. The pension issue, both in the short and long-term, may generate increased social tension manifesting itself through intergenerational, sectoral, political and industrial relations conflict. This may result in increased politicization and progressive alternative economic strategies based on the pension system's investment and capital accumulation function. Public policy towards aging and pensions identifies personal problems and structural issues which may have significance in terms of power, politics, and social change in the future
