The evidence-based change proposal discussed in this paper is concerned with CHF patients and education and interventions in order to avoid exacerbation during travel. The proposal consists of found evidence in regards to the topic and will be demonstrated as a presentation, which will be more or less interactive depending on the audience. The internal method for the dissemination of this change proposal would be the hospital board of facilities where I am currently employed. As with most hospital boards, the one which will be addressed in regard to the proposal will consist of different health organization employees, including nurses, physicians, and professionals in patient care (Advisory Board, 2019). The presentation would occur face to face with visuals employed to illustrate the evidence-based elements of the proposal. As the audience that will be addressed during this meeting is more familiar and small, a more interactive and informal format can be used to communicate the information. The external method for dissemination of this change proposal would be displayed as presentations at professional conferences of nursing organizations, such as the American Nurses Association (ANA) (Brownson et al., 2018). An organization such as ANA reaches a large audience of nurses and other nursing staff, which makes it an ideal platform to spread awareness about the change proposal. The conference presentation has its advantages as it allows for face-to-face contact with professionals in the field, consultation among nursing staff, and open discussion for participants of the conference. The communication strategies for such a presentation would have to be formal but clear, as a diverse and large audience is likely to be present. Additionally, the format of the presentation should be easy to follow, cohesive, and well-structured. It is vital to offer the proposal through both external and internal methods of dissemination, as reaching a broad and varied audience increases the likelihood of the implementation of the proposal in a reasonable timeframe.
Introduction The internet has created a paradigm shift in doing business, especially in e-commerce and marketing. At present, social media have become a standard tool for day-to-day managing of different business activities. In the last decade, the growth of social media has been a hundredfold, and at present, more than 43% of the global population is active users of the internet (Al-Badi, 2014). The revolution brought about by Smartphone technology has become a game-changer in the access and use of the internet for business activities. Specifically, the Smartphone technology has made internet access very easy and interaction among other users possible, irrespective of the distance involved. At present, just by a click of the button, an individual is in a position to access the internet. The increased access to social media comes with opportunities for doing business. There are several social media platforms (SNS) that are in use across the globe in access and consumption of internet services. The SNS is basically web applications that are programmed to permit users to freely connect, collaborate, and communicate by sharing information online, irrespective of their geographical location (Kotler, Kartajaya, & Setiawan, 2016). Users across the globe have accepted the SNSs as social and cultural interaction tools as evidenced by the rise in their use from less than 10% a decade ago to 29% by January 2015 (Reyaee & Ahmed, 2015). The common usage of SNSs includes doing business, social interaction, e-commerce, and advertisement among others. The usage and adaptability of each social network are dependent on features, accessibility, and activities supported. On average, an internet user might be registered to more than ten SNSs in order to cater to different interests including social interaction and business (Mourtada & Salem, 2012). Apparently, there is a need to focus on the usage of SNSs within the United Arab Emirates and the other Gulf States in order to predict and quantify their impact on e-commerce and advertisement as discussed in the next paragraph. A lot of literature exists on the development of the internet across the globe, especially in the western region. The Gulf region has not been left behind in the quest for social media connectivity as the advent of technology replaces the traditional media of communication. The Arab Social Media Outlook report for the year 2014 suggests that social media is threatening to edge out traditional interaction mechanisms (Kotler, Kartajaya, & Setiawan, 2016). Specifically, more than 70 million Arabs were active users of social media in the year 2013 as part of the more than 130 million who had direct access to the internet as summarized in table 1 below (Stat Counter, 2016). The impact of social media in the Arab world was felt during the infamous Arab spring that dislodged more than ten regimes fro
“Devil in a Blue Dress” is a movie produced in 1995 depicting the dramatic experiences of an African American novice private eye in 1948 Los Angeles. The movie falls under the Neo-noir category as it is set in the classic era between 1940 and 1950 and has the characteristic neo-noir theme of a major African American character that is faced with a tough life situation compelling him to make difficult choices out of desperation. The major themes in the film are violence, crime and love (Brode 114). The movie is outstanding due to the historical accuracy achieved because of director Carl Franklin’s in-depth research and the impressive cinematography. The impressive acting by two of Denzel Washington and Don Cheadle also adds to the film’s appeal. The movie’s main character is Ezikeal Rawlins, also known as Easy, who is an African American Second World War veteran seeking employment in the Los Angeles after losing his job in the aircraft manufacturing company. He gets a client named DeWitt Albright, who commissions him to find a missing woman by the name of Daphne Monet. Easy sets out to track Daphne, who is rumored to frequent illegal black clubs. However, as he continues with his search for Daphne, Easy realizes that he has got himself involved in a dangerous political rivalry where the big players are trying to set him up. When he realizes the danger he is facing, Easy confronts Joppy, his bartender friend who introduced him to DeWitt Albright, and blames him for his current troubles. Joppy retorts that he is not responsible since he was only trying to help Easy, who was desperate, make some money. Easy is able to unravel the mystery, which involves political blackmail and murder. Eventually, he solves the case and is paid for his work. Devil in a Blue Dress is, actually, a very amazing phenomenon in the movie industry, mainly because of its success, since there are a number of elements that might not and should not have worked. The story of a detective who is in search for a mysterious and beautiful woman has done to death by that time, and it would have taken a miracle to make this plot work. Thankfully, the director was perspicacious enough to understand how the clichéd story must be updated to meet the demands of the 90s audience and put a very strong emphasis on the characters. When it comes to defining what works for the movie’s advantage, one must admit that the lead character is easily the most notable element of the movie, no pun intended. Easy is not simply the character of a film noir – he is noir, because he incorporates the elements of a noir genre. Easy is what movie critics call “a private eye” (Ebert para. 3), he wears the kind of clothes that one would expect a noir character to, and he has the laid back attitude of a noir character that Nicholas ray from Lonely Place would have died for. Though Denzel Washington has obviously put a lot of effort into making his character credible and likeable, Don Cheadle as Mouse nearly steals the show. Cheadle is perfect as a lead character’s buddy straight to the point where critics claim him to be the best character in the film. However, it is no
There are several ways in which eBay creates value. Firstly, eBay allows buyers and sellers to communicate through an online forum directly. Both sides can rate one another, and the stability of the system is enhanced by the established performance standards. Secondly, buyers and sellers are guaranteed that transactions are made safely and securely (Brickley, Smith, & Zimmerman, 2016). Thirdly, transaction costs for parties participating in transactions are reduced. One potential contracting problem that exists on eBay is customers buying damaged or low-quality products from fraudulent sellers. Due to asymmetric information, these sellers can use misleading photos or give incorrect data to attract new customers. As a result, customers’ expectations after receiving a broken item are not met. Another potential contracting problem of eBay is a buyer failing to abide by the contractual agreement and refusing to pay for the item. Also, a buyer who submitted the highest bid may not contact the seller within three business days. In such a case, a seller may start a new auction once again or find another high bidder. To protect its customers, eBay covers most purchases under the eBay Money Back Guarantee. If an item arrives damaged, counterfeited, or does not arrive at all, the seller is given three business days to resolve the issue (“eBay money-back guarantee policy,” n.d.). If a seller and a buyer cannot agree, a buyer can ask eBay for help. Also, buyers are encouraged to settle transactions through the PayPal system that gives insurance to protect customers if they receive not what they expected. Another way eBay addresses contracting problems is by the creation of the Feedback Forum where buyers and sellers can share each other’s selling and buying experiences. Contracting costs comprise expenses that are associated with a specific contract and contracting activity in general (Seaman & Young, 2018). Contracting costs at eBay include insurance costs, advertisement costs, and costs of the Feedback Forum and website maintenance. It should also be mentioned that eBay incurs a cost of protection services and the residual loss. These incurred costs are considered to be a subject of concern for potential users of the service. One could note that fraud represents a serious yet inevitable issue in the field of e-commerce. Considering the large buyer and seller base, the number of frauds to which eBay is subject is supposed to be quite massive. For the company to become one of the most trusted and well-known online marketplaces, it had to pay significant attention to addressing potential contracting problems, some of which have been discussed above. This would allow eBay to attract more buyers and sellers and thus maximize its profits. However, it has to be stated that eBay does not have to invest heavily to eliminate all problems with fraud and misuse. Investments should be made only up to the point when marginal costs do not exceed the marginal benefit (Froeb, McCann, Shor, & Ward, 2015). Since the overwhelming market share of eBay can be explained by maximizing marginal benefit to equal marginal cost, it can be argued that the company do
Article Summary The author of the article educates the reader about the benefits of Cannabis sativa.

The society today is full of criminal activities. When one watches the news over the radio or television or reading newspapers, one of the most common reports is a case where one or a group has committed a crime. Social scientists have come out to try and find out some of the possible causes of crime in society. People hate crime. A criminal would be furious when he or she realizes that one has acted criminally against him or her. The biggest question that comes out, therefore, is, if people hate crime that much, why have criminal activities happening almost on a daily basis. Social scientists have come out with theories trying to explain the possible genesis of crime in society. According to Campbell (119), crime is more common in an urban setting than it is in rural set-ups. It would be interesting to know why this is so. The researchers have been trying to explain why crime would be more common in an urban setting than in rural-like regions. The motivation of an individual to commit a crime depends on various factors. It is interesting to know why the motivational factors to committing crime are more common in town settings than it is in rural areas. Altman (95) laments that life in some urban centers has become unbearable due to increased cases of crime. According to this scholar, the reason behind this increased crime is unemployment among the youth that leads to boredom. This scholar says that boredom is one of the major motivators of crime. According to Campbell (129) the society can only be safe when motivators to crime are eliminated or reduced to a minimum level. It may not be possible to eliminate all possible cases of crime. However, it is possible to have a society where crime is reduced to a bare minimum. For this to be possible, causes of crime must be identified so that they may be addressed. If crime is an alternative to play, how can the society address the issue to ensure that this is solved? These are some of the questions that various stakeholders are grappling with. The rate of committing crime is so high in urban areas to the extent that in some countries, the government has come up with mechanisms to help in regulating such cases through community policing. Cases have been reported where people living together kill one other, steal from each other, engage in illegal businesses, and commit other crimes. In many countries, politicians have been reported to incite people to rise against one another to the extent of killing their opponents. Street gangs, pick pocketing and the practice of illegal activities are very common in urban centers. Developing countries face several crimes, which are committed in urban centers. The rise of this vice in the urban setting is serious to the extent that in some countries, people live like prisoners in their own country, but in the real sense, they are free citizens. Day light robbery cases are common in urban settings. Rape cases are on the increase in urban centers. Generally, people in urban settings encounter serious challenges due to the rise in the rates of crime. Relationship between Play and Crimes According to
ILKA is a fashion brand based in Western Australia that produces apparel and has a store (ILKA Family Store) selling independent local brands. It was founded in 2016 by design duo Kate Wilks and Erin Taylor, who met while studying fashion design in Perth, Western Australia, and has been working together for years designing and manufacturing apparel (Cipriano 2018). In 2018, they used their experience in the retail industry to open a store in Mount Hawthorn, now selling around 20 local WA brands. When analysing ILKA through a brand identity prism, six elements are to be identified: physique, personality, culture, relationship, reflection, and self-image. Physique includes the logo, style guide, colour palette, and the presentation of products. ILKA has a clean and sleek visual style, with a simple black-and-white logo and website design, and colourful photographs of products. Personality determines how the brand communicates with the audience. ILKA is friendly and open in its communication, positioning itself as a member of the local community dedicated to its development. The most recent example is the shift that the brand made during the pandemic to producing face masks and scrubs after it has been contacted by one of the customers with a request for high-quality professional clothes (Mckenzie 2020). Overall, the brand image is consistent and appealing to the audience. The brand’s Culture is built around community, support, and sustainability. It places emphasis on creating products through ethical trade and sustainable practices and supporting small local manufacturers. Relationship between the brand and consumers is based on its active social network presence and promoting the idea that when buying the products, customers support the artists behind them, which creates a sense of engagement (The ILKA Family n.d.). Reflection and Self-image define how the brand sees its customers and how customers visualize their ideal selves. ILKA’s products are targeted at female customers “broad in age, ranging from 25 to 50 years, who seek premium brands with an exceptional design aesthetic, whilst also keeping in line with their social conscience” (Cipriano 2018). Customers are encouraged to see the brand as a unique apparel manufacturer with an individual approach to both customers and the featured designers and a high level of awareness of sustainability issues. The brand is clear, consistent, and co
