    Jordan has a refugee crisis; between 620,000 and 1.3 million Syrian refugees are seeking refuge in Jordan. This report aims to answer which aspect of Jordanian security the refugees have the biggest effect on. It also aims to answer whether the refugees based in camps, like Za’atari, or those integrated into the Jordanian communities are more threatening to internal security. Because many argue that Syrian refugees have a negative effect on the economic, environmental, military, political, and social securities of Jordan, many believe that they might pose a possible threat to the country’s internal security factors. The Syrian refugees have posed a great threat to the Jordanian security. Economically, the refugees cause higher housing prices and unemployment levels; a country that is rated as the second water-poorest nation cannot handle the stress of new population members; military incursions from Syria and rebel forces hiding amongst the refugees threaten the country’s military security. Terrorism and instability threaten Jordan’s politics, while new diseases and a dismantled education system harm Jordan’s societies

    A new classical density functional approach is developed to accurately treat a coarse-grained model of room temperature aromatic ionic liquids. Our major innovation is the introduction of charge-charge correlations, which are treated in a simple phenomenological way. We test this theory on a generic coarse-grained model for aromatic RTILs with oligomeric forms for both cations and anions, approximating 1-alkyl-3-methyl imidazoliums and BF4(-), respectively. We find that predictions by the new density functional theory for fluid structures at charged surfaces are very accurate, as compared with molecular dynamics simulations, across a range of surface charge densities and lengths of the alkyl chain. Predictions of interactions between charged surfaces are also presented

    The model of the employee life cycle in an organization has an important position in human resource management activities. The study includes a definition of the employee life cycle with concepts that stand out from those most often described in human resource management studies. Fundamental to the research value of this study are touchpoints between the organisation and the employee that build the employee experience. Their analysis has allowed the definition and characterisation of a six-stage model of the employee life cycle in an organisation. The model prepared was related to the concept of building employee engagement. An authorial linkage was made between resource management duties and responsibilities and ways of building employee engagement. The development of the presented concept of the employee life cycle in an organisation was the construction of a best practices used in employee management processes with Key Performance Indicators. Consequently, the responsibility of the actors of the human resource management system for the right course of the employee life cycle was indicated. It was concluded that the involvement of top management, line managers and employees with the support of human resource managers results in no shortening of the employee life cycle or reduces the inappropriate phases. This is critically important from an organisational management, as it provides high employee retention and allows for accurate management of employee performance.Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie znaczenia faz cyklu życia pracownika w organizacji w działaniach związanych z zarządzaniem zasobami ludzkimi. Artykuł zawiera definicję cyklu życia pracownika wraz z ważnymi koncepcjami wyróżniającymi się na tle najczęściej opisywanych w opracowaniach z zakresu zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi. Szczególne znaczenie dla wartości poznawczej opracowania mają zestawienia punktów styku pomiędzy organizacją i pracownikiem, budujących doświadczenia pracownika. Ich analiza pozwoliła na zdefiniowanie i scharakteryzowanie sześcioetapowego modelu cyklu życia pracownika w organizacji. Sporządzony model został odniesiony do koncepcji budowania zaangażowania pracowników. Dokonano autorskiego powiązania zadań zarządzania zasobami ze sposobami budowania zaangażowania pracowników. Rozwinięciem przedstawionej koncepcji cyklu życia pracownika w organizacji była budowa systemu najlepszych praktyk wykorzystywanych w procesach zarządzania ludźmi wraz ze sposobami ich pomiaru. W konsekwencji wskazano na odpowiedzialność aktorów systemu zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi za prawidłowy przebieg cyklu życia pracownika. Stwierdzono, że zaangażowanie top managementu, menedżerów linowych i pracowników przy wsparciu osób zajmujących się zarządzaniem zasobami ludzkimi nie powoduje skrócenia cyklu życia pracownika lub ogranicza niewłaściwy przebieg poszczególnych faz. Jest to niezmiernie ważne z punktu widzenia zarządzania organizacjami, gdyż zapewnia wysoką retencję pracowników oraz pozwala na prawidłowe zarządzanie wydajnością pracowników

    Classical Density Functional Study on Interfacial Structure and Differential Capacitance of Ionic Liquids near Charged Surfaces

    We have implemented a generic coarse-grained model for the aromatic ionic liquid [CnMIM+][Tf2N-]. Various lengths for the alkyl chain on the cation define a homologous series, whose electric properties are expected to vary in a systematic way. Within the framework of a classical density functional theory, the interfacial structures of members of this series are compared over a range of surface charge densities, alkyl chain lengths, and surface geometries. The differential capacitance of the electric double layer, formed by ionic liquids against a charged electrode, is calculated as a function of the surface electric potential. A comparison of planar, cylindrical, and spherical surfaces confirms that the differential capacitance increases and varies less with surface potential as the surface curvature increases. Our results are in qualitative agreement with recent atomistic simulations
