A leap second is a phenomenon in time science in which a one-second adjustment is applied at a certain period to a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), for the purpose of keeping the year and a second synced.

However, due to the variation in Earth's rotation speed in response to climatic and geological events, UTC leap seconds are mostly irregularly spaced and unpredictable.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Imagined communities

Explanation:

The concept of Imagined communities was developed in 1983 by historian Benedict Anderson, the concept of imagined communities refers to the fact that a nation "<em><u>is imagined because the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communion"</u></em>

So, members of most ethnic groups and nations will never know each other face to face and yet, they identify themselves as part of a nation with common characteristics (and this is where <u>nationalism</u> appears).

Therefore, according to this concept, <u>nations are a socially constructed group, imagined by people who perceive themselves as part of the group. </u>

Thus, we can conclude that the question regarding anthropological research refers specifically to Imagined communities.

Based on the equity theory, which of the following, if true, would strengthen the argument that Megan is trying to gain a sense
disa [49]

Answer:

She takes long break from work and shirks her responsibility.

Explanation:

D) Based on equity theory, employees who perceive inequity can change his or her inputs at will. Therefore they evert less effort if they are underpaid, or exert more effort if they are overpaid. If Megan takes long breaks from work and shirks her responsibilities, then this would mean that she is trying to gain a sense of equity by reducing her inputs. If Megan had told her boss for a raise by citing her years of experience with such company, then this would mean that she is trying to gain a sense of equity by changing her outcomes. If she then decidesto interrupts her fellows and refuses to let her get any work done, then this would mean that she is trying to reduce her colleague's inputs. The argument is neither strengthened nor weakened by the fact that she accepts extra responsibilities but fails to carry them out properly.
