Significance To Nursing Significance of Integrating smoking cessation into daily nursing practice are:   * Support the global movement to reduce tobacco use.   * Motivate nurses and support them in identifying their clients tobacco use status. Globally, different governments are on the move to reduce the use of tobacco. They have employed strategies like increasing the prices of tobacco practices. These strategies have worked to some extent, but are also limited. Use of smoking cessation strategy is the best method to reduce the use of tobacco products (Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, 2007). therefore, practicing these guidelines will ensure that nurses supports the fight against tobacco use. smoke cessation is best delivered when evidence is included. Tobacco users are likely to quit smoking on use of smoke cessation strategies that supported by evidence. Through the use of nurse, it is easy to develop strategies that employ evidence. For instance, before implementing any evidence based strategy, it is advisable that a client should first obtain help from a doctor. The purpose of brief interventions is to help the client find confidence
Abstract This research proposal is designed to help us better understand the effectiveness of advertising strategies applied across different countries with similar cultures. Using a survey consisting of Likert items and corresponding scales, subjects consisting of advertising executives from Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom will be asked to rate their responses regarding a number of items relating to the effectiveness of different advertising strategies in their corresponding countries. It is hypothesized that there will be differences in what constitutes effective advertising materials in different countries with similar cultures. This research builds upon other studies in the field which reveal the differences in advertising strategies employed across different cultures. This study could help the company save significant financial resources on advertising in the future. Introduction The firm under research is a food supply company that operates and advertises in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. Understanding how to craft effective strategies for advertising campaigns in these countries is a vital part of its continued success. In the recent difficult economic times, the firm has faced increased pressure to save money wherever possible and has been encouraged to consolidate operations wherever they have been shown to be feasible. One of the most significant expenditures in terms of financial resources is the money spent on advertising budgets for the three countries of operation. Individual, localized campaigns have always been the firm’s strategy, because it believed crafting one advertising strategy for use in all three countries would be ineffective considering the differences between the three national markets of operation. As a multi-national food supply company, understanding how best to adapt strategies of advertising across the different cultures the firm serves is of paramount importance. While a number of different studies have looked at the effectiveness of advertising between countries and companies, few have examined the subtle nuances of differences with regard to advertising between cultures with more subtle nuanced differences. It is for this reason that the research should be conducted by the company in order to explore the differences in what works in advertising across different countries with similar cultural contexts. Indeed, while a body of research exists relating to differences in advertising between very different cultures, the company could benefit from a greater understanding of the differences across several countries with similar cultures. It is proposed that research be conducted to determine the most effective strategies for advertisin
We will prove in this courtroom beyond all reasonable doubt that the defendant Ronald Riff committed the crime in question at the mentioned date at Marquette’s Marquette store. Indeed, your honor and members of the jury, the evidence that we are going to present before this court is beyond circumstantial and completely ties the accused to the burglary incident that took place at Marquette’s store at that time. In addition, we shall show it to you that the accused had premeditated this particular crime driven by ardent motives that were more than one. Certainly, as we shall see later in the case it was within the accused ability to commit the crime since he had the means, knowledge, opportunity, and motive. More importantly, we shall present six key witnesses who will place the accused in the vicinity of the crime at various timelines during that night of the crime up to the time that the accused retired to his house after a laborious night of the burglary. However, if there should be any doubt about the involvement of the accused by this time ladies and gentlemen, then the exhibit that we shall table before this court shall certainly prove that the accused did indeed obtain plaintiff cash from the register after illegal breaking and entry with the intention to steal. Your honor and members of the jury you shall also note like in all other crimes where the defendant is rightly accused, the defendant will have no alibi that can be independently corroborated simply because at the mentioned date and time Mr. Riff was busy reaping where he had not sowed very much like his nature of habitual gambling. This crime was committed three weeks before the accused services were terminated by Speedy Marquette, who is also the plaintiff in this case for being routinely late; this ladies and gentlemen is our first motive since the accused was in his mind avenging his job dismissal by his former employer by committing the crime. In fact, at that material day when he was being dismissed from work, Mr. Riff who is here before this courtroom in his moment of irrationality exactly made it plainly known to the plaintiff that he intended to avenge his dismissal by saying, and I quote “I’ll get you for this and put your lousy store out of business too”. This was a threat that he carried out three weeks later after he found the right opportunity. However, my Lord, ladies, and gentlemen this was not the only reason Mr. Riff was so much inclined to rob Marquette’s store at the mentioned date. Incidentally shortly before the time of the crime after a night of gambling and perhaps of major losses. The accused passed by an Auto garage which was close by where he was recognized by one of the witnesses and in the cause of the conversation has mentioned something to the effect that he wanted to obtain more money to hopefully win more at Reds Pleasure Palace, a gambling establishment which he was a frequent patron. But perhaps it was his pressing need for a new guitar that finally made him want to steal the money. By this point ladies and gentlemen, all the accused needed was the means to
The gastroesophageal reflux disease is treated gradually, and the doctor, in this case, selects the required course of treatment for the patient. Moreover, today there is a new generation of drugs that can effectively control gastroesophageal reflux. As non-pharmacological methods of treatment, a change in diet and lifestyle can be helpful. It is essential to avoid taking foods and drinks that stimulate the relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Avoiding foods that provoke GERD symptoms in the diet has a significant role. The education that Ms. Jones should follow should concern the impact of a healthy lifestyle and proper medical care on the duration of the disease and how improper treatment or ignoring it can affect the state of the body. Therefore, it is necessary to study the literature and information about bodyweight control and know about the side effects and contraindications of the drugs taken. The most effective way to treat GERD is to reduce acid production in the stomach with the help of H2-blockers or proton pump inhibitors. Furthermore, Sandhu and Fass (2018) note that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the basis of medical therapy for GERD. Famotidine is used at a dose of 20 mg twice a day. At night symptoms of 20-40 mg per night are taken, and maintenance therapy of 20 mg per night. This drug does not have a history of asthma or osteoporosis in contraindications so the patient can take them. Famotidine blocks histamine H2-receptors, inhibits basal and stimulated secretion of hydrochloric acid, and suppresses pepsin’s activity. It is not entirely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and bioavailability is 40 percent, increases under the influence of food, and decreases w
Background of functionalism Structural Functionalism in its most basic terms emphasizes the effort to impute as rigorously as possible to each feature, custom, or practice, its effect on the functioning of a supposedly stable, cohesive system (Bourricaud, 94). Under the theory of functionalism, all parts of a society’s structure are just organs that work together to ensure the proper function of the social body as a whole. This paper will be about how Functionalism is used by Hugo Chavez’s government to preserve the Marxist Venezuelan state. Advocates of functionalism One of the most popular proponents of Functionalism was Herbert Spencer. He was one of the first to propose the idea of a “super-organic” body supported by a number of sub-organs. He was also influenced by Darwinist philosophies because he believe that the “super-organic” was always under siege from internal and external pressures and it had to adapt its internal workings by differentiation. Spencer postulates that there are three factors that create a need for this selection regulatory, operative and distributive pressures. For him, society must learn to solve the inherent problems of control and coordination, the production of goods and services and also uncover ways of properly disseminating them. If his theory is followed then it explains how Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez arouse to become the chief or “big man” of his country to take control of the levers of power. A later theorist named Robert Merton came up with his own ideas about functionalism. He criticized existing theories because he believed that not all the parts of society exist to support its existence. Instead, some institutions can have other functions or even be dysfunctional. Certain organs may functions for some societies while being utterly dysfunctional for others and vice versa. In other words, some organs only function for a dominant individual or a group (Holmwood, 91). Hence there is a level of power and coercion in functionalism. Merton also proposed that there can be alternatives to existing social organs such that existing organs are not indispensable to society. This last statement is a major innovation on the part of Merton since in the past those who taught functionalism always supported the status quo and did not off
Introduction The topic of strategic management has been of great importance over the years. This is because strategic management helps a company craft its short term and long term goals, device means and ways of achieving those goals and objectives, and also providing a blue print of how the company ought to evaluate its achievements according to the set targets (Antony & Robert, 2011). This paper presents the coca cola company. It discusses the various areas of strategic management and also touches on the management accounting information. The Company Coca-cola Company is the global leading manufacturer, distributor and marketer of soft drinks. The Vision of the company is to ‘bring to the world a portfolio of quality beverage drinks and brands that satisfy people’s needs and desires.’ The mission statement of Coca-Cola Company is: ‘To refresh the world, to inspire moments of optimism and happiness, and to create value and make a difference.’ The objectives of Coca-Cola Company are to maintain a global leadership in the supply of non-alcoholic beverages and other non-soda drinks through high production methods that promote the name of the company as a household brand. The strategies of the company are to build on the fundamental strengths in marketing and innovation, driving increased efficiency in system interactions and generating new energy through core brands that focus on health and wellness. In strategic management, the vision statement indicates where the company visualizes itself as at a future date. This usually acts as a beacon for continued efforts to improve and develop to the highest standards possible (Szulanski, 1996). The vision of Coca Cola Company therefore corresponds with the definition provided in the text book. This is because the vision clearly indicates that the company aims to develop quality brands that aim at satisfying people’s desires and as such the company is in continual search form innovations in order to ultimately achieve this. The mission statement presents the company’s reason for existence. It is the mission statement that indicates the products that are offered to the consumers and as such, since the mission statement of Coca Cola Company is to refresh people, and inspire happiness, the statement is congruent to the definition since through consuming the products people get entertained and are able to quench thirst through drinking of it products. The objectives of the company are to maintain a global leadership in the supply of non-alcoholic drinks. This is well put also since the company strives to remain ahead of the competitors and this, also, corresponds to the definition given in the text book. A strategy presents a combination of measures, both short and long-term which are aimed at ensuring that a company remains on course to achieving the mission and the objectives set out. Coca cola company stra
Introduction Many factors influence the marketing strategies of organisations. Every industry is impacted by internal and external changes in the market. Thus companies have to adjust their strategies in order to stay relevant in their field. This environmental audit examines the marketing strategy of a yogurt company from the UK, using Yazoo as the primary example, and evaluates the impact of various environmental factors on its course of action. The analysis is focused on factors from the internal and external marketing audits and the company’s recent marketing campaigns. Micro-Environment According to Statista (2017), the company remains one of the most popular brands of yogurt in the UK. In fact, in 2014, it was the second most popular yogurt in the country (Figure 1). However, the products’ popularity dropped the following year, which reveals a flaw in the company’s marketing campaign. The company’s assessment of its customers’ needs and preferences can be seen in the newest addition to its assortment – drinks without sugar (Yazoo 2017b). This change is based on the current preferences of the market. Figure 1. Brands of yogurt drinks ranked by number of users in the UK in 2014 and 2015 (in thousands) (Statista 2017). The company’s customer analysis yields the following results:   * The target audience is represented by young adults and adolescents.   * The latest advertising campaign ‘#ShakeItUp’ is an example of using current trends to appeal to a particular audience (Yazoo 2017a). The games and interactive graphics on the website appeal to a specific niche.   * The company’s distribution channels also show the direction of business, as the company is active on social media.   * Unmet needs are being fulfilled in the creation of a new dairy product called No Added Sugar (Yazoo 2017a).   * Customer loyalty is declining (Dawes, Meyer-Waarden & Driesener 2015). Thus new campaigns and initiatives are needed to sustain profitability. The example of Yazoo shows that the company tries to introduce new ideas fairly often, basing its efforts on customer participation. For instance, in 2015, the company started marketing a new dairy product which resembled a smoothie – a drink that was becoming more popular among people concerned with their health (Arthur 2015). The focus on health concerns also became a part of its marketing campaign as the drink was said to contain no artificial sweeteners and flavours. The analysis of competitors shows that:   * The main competitors are Danone and their product Actimel, and Müller with a milk drink called Frijj (Statista 2017).   * Danone’s target audience differs from Yazoo’s, as the former markets its milk drink to families and health-driven individuals. Frijj, on the other hand, is marketed to young people as well.   * Sarooghi, Libaers, and Burkemper (2015) argue that the industry’s environment strongly impacts the companies’ possibilities for innovation. Actimel and Yazoo pursue different target audiences, which allows them to co-exist in the same environment. However, Frijj is a strong competitor whose influence on the market is su
Introduction Korean fine art entails different forms of art that originate from Korea such as pottery, calligraphy, literature, painting, music among other genres, which are characteristically identified by their bold colors, surface decorations, and natural forms. The history of Korean art spans back to the Stone Age period with the introduction of votive sculptures and petro glyphs, which can be dated back to the Neolithic art, Bronze Age art, and the Iron Age art eras (Cavendish 961; Armstrong 92). Subsequently, different styles of art were introduced during the reign of different kingdoms and dynasties (Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Gaya, Unified Silla, Goryeo Dynasty, and the Joseon Dynasty) whereby the Chinese culture is credited for influencing the development of different styles of art that displayed elegance and spontaneity (Mayo, Rimer, and Kerkham 134). However, contemporary art scholars note that the Korean culture, both traditional and modern, consists of a unique style of art that transmits the Chinese culture while assimilating its own unique art culture. Therefore, it is apparent that Korea particularly South Korea offers vibrant art scenes characterized by creativity and innovation in different art genres (Cavendish 961). This paper explores the development of different genres of fine art such as traditional and contemporary dance, music, paintings, sculpture, and drama in Korea from 1950 to present. The History of Fine Arts in Korea Visual Arts The fall of different Korean kingdoms and dynasties coincided with the development of Korean art from the ancient Chinese-influenced forms of art to more distinctive and unique styles of Korean art. During the 20 th century, Korean calligraphy, painting, animation, comics, wood-blocks, and printing were influenced by the transition from Korean Shamanist art through Buddhist art, and finally, to Confucian art. During this period, brush-strokes were used to communicate the artist’s personality through calligraphy, which also enriched the subject matter of the painted works. Moreover, fabric arts as captured through Choe Eun-sun’s work involved embroidery in screen-work, wall decorations, weaving, and designing costumes. Fabric art was also represented through the works of carpet and rug weavers who produced different saddle blankets, imperial dragon carpets, saddle covers, and tiger rugs for different occasions and personalities. In addition, paper artistry included the use of hand-made paper-works in designing window screens, floor covers, paper fans, paper figures, and for printing. In fact, the use of paper derived from mulberry roots dates back to thousands of years according to studies conducted in 1960, which revealed that the paper could last about 1000 years (Cavendish 961-963; Connor 265). Painting is another form of visual art, which has been used to celebrate nature and religious themes over the years. However, beginning
Potential Reduction in Irrigation Water Through the Use of Water-Absorbing Polymers in Agriculture Introduction The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is made up of seven emirates federations. These federations are Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Qaiwain, Ras Al Khaymah, and Fujairah. Among these emirates, Abu Dhabi is ranked as the largest emirate. Moreover, Abu Dhabi city acts as both the capital of the country and that of the emirate (Al Abed & Hellyer, 2001). The total area of the United Arab Emirates is estimated to be 83,600 square kilometers. From an ecological point of view, the UAE could be separated into three categories namely the sandy or desert area, the northeastern mountain areas, and the marine coastal area. The UAE has also been hard hit by desertification since 80 percent of the area falls under deserts. Over recent times, the area under agriculture has continually increased with a major focus on annual and permanent crops (Goudie & Al-Farraj, 1999). The climate in the UAE and Arid Region Since 80 percent of the area is under the desert, the UAE has a vast arid region with summer temperatures being very high (Shanan & Tadmor, 1979). However, most of the population lives in the coastal area which is characterized by high humidity and heat. For instance, during summer, temperatures usually rise to reach 46 degrees Celsius coupled with a humidity of 100 percent. The experiences in winter are a bit mild with temperatures dropping between 13 and 23 degrees Celsius (Riegl, 2003). When advancing towards the interior desert region of the emirates, temperatures do record a high of 50 degrees Celsius and can also fall up to about 4 degrees Celsius. This, therefore, implies that the interior desert region experiences very hot summers and very cool winters. On average, the annual rainfall received in the United Arab Emirates is about 78 mm with the southern desert around Liwa receiving about 40 mm (Al-Farraj, 2005) which is not sufficient to sustain agricultural activities since the area loses a lot of water through evaporation while experiencing very little rain. On the contrary, the northeastern mountains do receive a high of about 160 mm of rainfall. Precipitations are also experienced in the emirates which range from 9 to 19 days in a full year. Significantly, a bigger percentage of the annual rainfall received in the emirates happens during the winter period which accounts for over 80 % (percent) and is normally received between December and March (Alsharahan & El-Sammak, 2004). The Emirates also experiences Spring Season which is normally characterized by rainfall which is infrequent and normally accompanied by isolated thunderstorms. This season occurs between April and May. Summer in the Emirates is experienced at some point between June and September. In summer, rainfall is scarce
