Introduction Undoubtedly, every child is unique by nature and requires an individual, unique and extraordinary approach to communication and interaction with them. However, based on specific examples and conditions, there are some general patterns of “cooperation” with children within the designated context. For example, a competent ratio of rewards and punishments, as well as a well-planned system of incentives, bonuses, and motives, give special fruits in the formation and development of certain knowledge, skills, and abilities in “little people.” The use of particular methods, tactics, and strategies of encouragement is the key to the development of a unique system of judgments and certain abilities, skills, and talents in solving difficult moments. How to Encourage Certain Abilities and Skills of Children Based on the experience of conducting coursework and observations in educational institutions, I learned the following critical aspects regarding encouraging and stimulating the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and performance skills in pre-k students. First of all, according to Gordon (2021), the skill of critical thinking is especially necessary when solving mathematical problems, constructing clear arguments, and self-reflection. An adult needs to become a role model for kids and teach them how to solve problems and make decisions through the prism of creative and game directions (Gordon, 2021). Thus, for example, playing a board game, “youth” learn to think and imagine the possible outcome of events, strategically think through their moves, and carefully act on the principle of “seven times measure cut once.” In general, a particular type of game is a great way to interact with children, and its importance for the successful development of a “little person” is vital. Secondly, the following characteristics regarding the encouragement of problem-solving skills should also be noted. Therefore, as a specialist, I must quickly and clearly find and identify the child’s problem, develop optimal solutions, determine their pros and cons, and choose the “right” solution (Morin, 2021). For instance, I noticed a tendency that little kids are very often afraid to make mistakes. They are scared of being punished and failing in any endeavors. Therefore, it is necessary to motivate a junior to succeed and teach the basics of self-regulation. It would be best to be affectionate with a child and not be rude. Therefore, in this case, a child learns in advance to cope with the fear that has arisen, to minimize and eradicate it in time. Thirdly, to date, there are also many tactics and mechanisms in stimulating “labor productivity” and performance skills in children. Thus, problem-based learning allows a child to reveal potential, showing strengths that will be more fully manifested in the future. For example, when studying several phenomena, I primarily ask a pre-k student about the experience and knowledge he or she has gained. Only then, after learning the opinion of a “baby,” I explain the essence and goals of our comm
At the start of this course, we were asked to develop our goals in connection to the course objective as well as an action plan that will facilitate the achievement of our targets and gauge the actual success of our coursework. I must admit that the communication styles I learned brought me back to the days in my family where there were a lot of communication styles that I had to contend with. I cannot further stress how these activities that consisted of the interplay of these communication styles between my family members became an important part in our everyday, modern lives. I have slowly come to develop specific communication styles and strategies that help in conflict management and resolution between my brothers and sisters. These early learning experiences seem to establish the more generalizable patterns I have used in later years. As I watch and hear my parents manage their own interpersonal and intrapersonal, I have slowly learned through imitation. Moreover, my conflicts are inevitable in any household and the management methods used in these conflicts set patterns for later development. In the course of coping with these conflicts, I, as well as my parent, am reinforced for certain coping styles, often on a partial reinforcement schedule. Thus, I am reinforced for compliance while others are reinforced for defiance, some for cooperation and some for the expression of hostility, some for disengagement. By the time I reached school age, specific styles of conflict management and/or resolution have been adopted. They are open for modification but, like any other behavior, they increase in habit strength as our age increases. Thus, each individual informally develops styles of dealing with conflict which may well be unknown to the person. All too often the pattern of not talking was acquired in the family where “keeping a stiff upper lip” and “bearing it in silence” was the way both my parents handled their problems. Silence was a sign of strength. This concept dates back to the frontier days when people lived in isolated homesteads where talking was not going to get the job done. Though intuitive, I often use the faculties of my senses, only that I am more confident if I follow my intuitions which for me are signals from the often-ignored subconscious mind. I know ever since that I am the “feeling” type. Even if there are many occasions that I am predisposed to be all rational and analytical, I have long discovered that my emotions are usually the best guide for cr
Abstract The paper examines the financial performance of a five star hotel located in the Perth CBD. There is high competition in Perth CBD because none of the hotels have exclusive features. What one hotel offers can be found in another within the same city. The hotel follows the trend in the market. Occupancy rates start to peak in June and extend until December. There is a slight drop in the occupancy rate only in October and November. The paper refers to Fraser Suites for prices and estimates. Fraser Suites Perth is also examined for competitive advantage. Most of the five star hotels in Perth are global brands. There is a lack of absolute competitive advantage because most of the hotels share a lot of similarities. Customer service can create a distinction among other hotels. The report develops weakness from the fact that five star hotels present their financial statements as a group. The estimates would be more accurate if the subsidiary would present its departmental financial statement. Financial performance The hotel performs moderately in the rooms department. Profitability in the rooms department exceeds $3 million annually. The F & B department has poor financial performance. The income returns in the F & B department does not match the income returns in the industry. A hotel performing well should have a return rate higher than the industry rate of 9.3% within the Perth CBD (Colliers International, 2013). Prices change according to the market demand. Demand changes according to seasons. There has been a high demand for accommodation in Perth since 2006. The accommodation prices rose by about 31% between 2007 and 2009 (Access Economics, 2010). The return on new hotel investment increased from 4.6% to 5.4% within the same period. A hotel has to charge an average rate of $450 per night and have an average occupancy rate of 80% to yield a capital return rate of 5.4% (Access Economics, 2010). High construction costs and the high cost of land put pressure on hotels to charge higher rates to make high returns on investment. Currently, the income return for all hotels is estimated at 8.2%. In 2012, hotels within CBD areas gave an investment return rate of 9.3% (
Introduction B-cells refer to the lymphocytes that contain antigen-indissoluble antibody modicum on the wall, that make up plasma cells, which diffuse antibodies when fully grown. B-cells demarcate in mammals in the bone marrow. Hoffman and Chalasani (2) note that B-cells go by the name B-lymphocytes too. Antibody is any of a great number of proteins of great modicum mass that are generated by specialized B-lymphocytes after invigoration by an antigen in an immune reaction, that are generated unusually by some cancerous cells (2). An antibody consists of sub-elements that include 2 loaded chains and two light chains (2). As Hoffman and Chalasani (2) remark, every B-cell is set to produce on unique antibody. For instance, a particular B-cell will produce an antibody that prevents a common cold-causing virus. A particular antibody blends an antigen in the same way a key would blend a lock. Antibodies belong to a family of big modicums called immunoglobulin (2). Immunoglobulins are proteins composed of polypeptide chains. Every antibody has 2 corresponding and heavy polypeptide chains and two corresponding agile chains (2). Role of B Cells in Immune Response There are several types of B-cells. The first type, plasma B-cells or simply plasma, cells are gigantic B-cells that already got exposure to antigen and are already generating and diffusing copious amounts of antibodies (2). These antibodies aid the decimation of bacteria by attaching to them and thus preparing them for easy targeting by phagocytes and arousal of the compliment system (2). Plasma cells also take the title of antibody factories. The second type of B-cells, memory B-cells, comes from aroused B-cells that are particular to the antigen met during the basic immune reaction (2). They live for quite a long time and can react swiftly after a second exposure to the initial antigen (2). The third type, B-2 cells are the usual B-cells found in most books. B-1 cells, the fourth type, inhabit the lymph nodes in low digits as well as the spleen but are numerous in the peritoneal and pleural cavities (2). B-cells play their role in the immune system by producing several antibodies, which perform different functions (2). Discussed below, are three types of antibodies and their role in the immune response. The first antibody, IgG, is the chief antibody, which inhabits blood as well as body fluids (2). Its major function is to hitch on pathogens through a particular antigen receptor to produce antigen-antibody build-ups (2). This antibody also arouses the complement mechanism to various responses between groups of proteins resulting in the generation of a modicum able to destroy bacterial cells (2). IgG provides passive protection to a growing fetus (2). The second type of antibody, the IgA, partakes in mucosal protection thus preempting invasion of areas susceptible to pathogenic attack (2). It inhabits mucosal regions like the gut, the respiratory canal and the urogenital passage (2). Over and above, IgA exhibits in tears, spit, and breast milk and affords infants with basic protection against pathogens acquired by the mother (2). IgE, the third type of antibod
Within the clinical setting, the use of either EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) or HER (Electronic Health Record) is preferred over paper charts for organizational and monitor purposes as they present an opportunity to easily track changes in the patient’s health status. Both systems fit into the category of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) with a primary focus on the improvement in interpersonal communication, but each has its defining points. EMR system is developed to be used in one separate institution, and the system does not support the ability to exchange the patients’ information with other systems. Thus, in order to provide the patients’ information to the other organization, information from the EMR system must be printed out and sent in from of physical document or converted. The EHR, on the other hand, is developed with a focus on the exchange feature. In terms of safety features, the EMR system does not allow data exchange to other organizations and additionally offers an information encryption feature that protects the patients’ documents. On the other hand, EHR systems are prone to data entry mistakes and other usability issues that could potentially have significant consequences, like medication errors due absence of allergy alerts. In addressing the potential consequences that may occur from the misuse of electronic systems, Alanazi et al. (2020) associated the low level of satisfaction with the systems with low computer literacy skills and inadequate system use. According to the authors, the main points of dissatisfaction were the inability to process lab results, the time-consuming character of work, and the frequent occurrence of system errors (Alanazi et al., 2020). It might be that the current negative perception and frequent mistakes of the systems might be caused by low-level computer literacy among medical personnel.
Introduction There are many factors believed to extensively affect the learning of second language of which one of the key factors includes age. Several discussions have been staged for the purposes of finding appropriate age recommended for learning foreign language. Different ideas have been proposed by various stakeholders as well as scholars of suggest that age before start of adolescents is the best stage for learning foreign language. However, learning foreign language is regarded as an important skill recommended for all people. Great controversy has occurred concerning the time to start learning and teaching second language prompting many suggestions from scholars. Despite their many suggestions, learning of the second language, still posses some great challenge to the society. Rate of learning whether of the first or second language varies widely from one person to the other. However, entire process of learning is considered to be influenced greatly by age factor (Chavez, 2006). Extensive research has been done in the process of determining appropriate age to start learning a second language. Timing varies from individual to individual and also environmental influence is a contributing factor. Generally, it is believed that the best time for learning foreign language is at childhood stage. Research reveals that those who learn second language in their childhood stages before puberty amidst native speakers normally speak the foreign language naturally with native’s accent (Chavez, 2006). Literature Review Robinson (1998), asserts that children within learning institutions who undertake foreign language as a subject usually records excellent results within other academic domains. On the same note Lee (1996), builds on the evidence that much cognitive gains are realized in the process of learning foreign languages at childhood age. Some researchers believe on the fact that it takes considerably longer time for an individual to attain proficiency in second language within institutional setting. Learning second language at early stage presents students with high chances of achieving high levels within their education (Hass, 1998). According to Curtain and Pesola (1988), it is important to find enough reasons as to why language programs should be incorporated within school curriculum. Programs guiding on the use of languages should be designed to satisfy specific solutions required within learning institutions (Curtain and Pesola, 1998). The level of proficiency plays a role in obtaining positive results based on the knowledge on important dimensions within the global world such as economic, social as well as political. There is also proficiency gained through advanced levels attained based on language skill and understanding of the cultural set-up. Children are known to have open approach towards various ideas which demands global understanding hence making learning of foreign language important channel used for expanding intercultural beliefs. Psychologists reveal that most children attain th
Introduction Compensation system in an organization is very important because it helps organizations improve their performance through increased employee output. Total reward programs are systems set in place by the management of an organization with the main aim of rewarding employees for their efforts and excellence in their work. The compensation system may involve things that address the needs of employees hence boosting their morale such as recital and gratitude, work life balance and chances for professionalism within the organization (Kaplan, 2007). Successful implementation of a reward system in an organization should result in improved performance of employees hence the firm while reducing operating costs. This study examines total reward programs as applied in organization in different industries (Durfey, 2002). The Total Rewards System employed in the Publix The Publix supermarket is among the largest private retail enterprises in the U.S. Having its’ headquarters in Florida, the supermarket has more than 1000 branches operating in different parts in U.S. with an average of 130 associates creating many employment opportunities. In recognition of the importance of total rewards in value creation to a firm, the supermarket has designed a number of the total rewards elements to benefit its employees. The consequent actions have seen the supermarket perform better than other firms have. Among the designed elements are flexible schedules provided to part-timers in order to accommodate for their academic studies and family responsibilities, opportunities to transfer into other positions of the company such as manufacturing, distribution and corporate offices. Other fundamental benefits available at Publix include an opportunity to purchase additional shares of its privately held stock, annual holiday cash bonus and weekly payment for hourly associates. In addition, the company provides a 401(k) retirement savings plan with a company match, group health plan, credit union, tuition reimbursement and training opportunities. Employees working close to the cafeteria have the opportunity of eating free while full time employees have six paid holidays. Similar to other firms, development of these total rewards have befitted as well as disadvantaged both Publix and its employees. First, it provides employers with flexibility since it allows awards to be mixed and remixed to meet the different emotional and motivational needs of employees (Durfey, 2002). This has further helped companies in allowing employees to determine when they work, where they work and how they work. In particular, total rewards, policies recognize that employees would wish to have the ability to integrate their lifestyle and their work. Secondly, total rewards strategy enhances improved recruitment and retention since it is a critical aspect in addressing the issues created by recruitment and retention. It can help create a work experience that meets the needs of employees and encourage them to contribute extra efforts that addres
Introduction A government has the role to regulate all the economic activities to ensure stability and safety of all resources that are available. It is important that government leaders should embrace better policies of promoting the welfare of the people. The GDP computation applied in measuring economic position in a country have their strengths and weaknesses and a lot of care should be taken to ensure the success of a country is well accounted for. On the other hand, controlling pollution is an important strategy that a government should adopt to protect the resources available in a country. Government should embark on protecting the available resources and improving the welfare of its citizens by introducing better policies. Federal budget deficit and recession A budget deficit occurs when a government’s expenditure exceeds the income generated from the economy. As such, the government spends more income than it generates from its economic activities. When the government experiences a budget deficit, borrowings increase to fill the gap between expenditures and incomes. During a recession the government generates lower incomes while expenses increase and this causes the need to borrow either internally or externally. A recession occurs when the economy is performing poorly to an extent that the income generated from economic activities is too low to sustain the people and the government. A budget deficit can be used during a recession to stabilize the economy by increasing the government expenditure to ensure that more money is available for investment. An increase in government expenditure will; result into an increase in the amount of money available for investment and this will help solve the problem of recession. When a government employs more resources, more income is generated and the money in circulation increases. More investments are made when the money
Living in the globalized community, environmental issues have become increasingly important because the threat human activities constitute to the Earth. In this respect, greater control of contamination, deforestation, and irrigation should be taken to eliminate critical situations. Marketing arena has also undergone significant change and has taken the course on monitoring the ecological setting through their techniques. The above-presented concerns are heavily discussed in the article called Free Marketing Versus Political Environmentalism that represents an outlook at the problems and conflicts appeared on the ground of the current events with Montana’s Ruby River. Negligence and failure to adhere to existing regulations led to ecological catastrophe. Many species of fish have been perished because of inability to properly tackle the problem. Water destined for irrigation could have saved the situation. In my opinion, the article provides exhaustive overview of urgent problems connected with inconsistency of governmental policy toward water flow control as well as incompleteness and ineffectiveness of existing laws and regulations directed at monitoring the usage of water resources. The author has managed to provide analysis of a free market environmentalism approach to correlating marketing strategies with the political ones. I believe that, despite the fact that article precisely describes the essence of these techniques, it does not provide sufficient explanation concerning how these strategies can be implemented to reduce contamination problems. Therefore, the latter can be a tangible implication for further analysis and research. Regarding perspectives and development of free-market environmentalism, I believe that this approach will be extremely beneficial for the world economy as well as for the improvement of existing ecological environment. Therefore, this new tendency should be supported, but not ignored, by all world governments. While analyzing all the advantages, including shifts in legal and moral vision, the given strategies will have a significant impact on the sphere of social and political life. What is more important is that, though free-market environmentalism does not provide all possible solutions to existing concerns, it still creates a solid platform for introducing new, alternative ways for approaching the problem of water consumption. Specifically, the use of property rights is a viable solution to eliminate the problem of global warming. In addition, due to the fact that marketing has become more important on the global arena, the introduction of this brunch will be beneficial by all means. Ecofascism: An Enduring Temptation The development of private policy could have positive outcomes for solving the existing environmental concerns. In this respect, a careful examination deserves the tight connection between politics and ecology, particularly new ecological positions and terms. While discussing the latter, it is purposeful to address the article called Ecofascism: An Enduring Temptation that discloses the essence of recently appeared phenomenon of eco-fascism. Before analyzing the main aspects connected to
