Introduction The four physiographic regions of the European continent are the divisions into which the physical landscape of the European continent is put. These divisions are as follows: the central uplands, the alpine system, the north European lowland, and the western uplands. Most of the coalfields found on the continent are located in the central uplands of the European landmass. These coalfields are quite beneficial to the development of different cultures in Europe since they are a source of income to different people who have different cultural beliefs and practices. This aspect of the coalfields being avenues for employment opportunity best explains the growth of cultural diversity on the continent. As a countermeasure against the increasing number of culturally diverse people, the region is much endowed with coal, as evidenced by many coal mines in the region. This is a booster in the development of the economy. Further, it should be noted that it was in the central uplands region that the industrial revolution picked its roots. A region like north European has fertile land that is good for agriculture. Additionally, many navigable rivers are found here. Besides, the technological skills of the people on the continent are quite unmatched. Thus, the question of space is countered by their technical skills, and therefore most of the construction in Europe is vertical and not horizontal. This is the best way to house so many people on a very small landmass. Conclusion It can be easily concluded that though the physiographic regions of Europe are small, the problem is unsettled by the continent’s technocrats, an endowment in minerals, good land that is suitable for agriculture, and the presence of many navigable rivers are the major reasons why these regions are few but can support a variety of culture in the European cont
People talking about data mining usually means analyzing vast amounts of information and various data. This information helps organizations solve multiple problems and tasks, predict trends, reduce possible risks and find new opportunities. Data mining involves searching for patterns, relationships, anomalies, and deformations to solve a particular problem. In data mining, helpful information is created or found, which can play an essential role in the search. Data mining is an exciting and diverse process that includes many components, some of which are even confused with the mining itself. For example, statistics is an essential element of data mining (Lu, 2021). Data mining and machine learning fall into data science, but they have different principles of operation, despite some similarities. Data mining involves several vital steps or stages (Lu, 2021). One can distinguish the search for the necessary information, the preparation of data, the evaluation of information, and the provision of a solution. The process of data mining provides people with many means of solving problems in the digital age. Information mining has many advantages, among which the following can be distinguished (Lu, 2021). This process helps companies to collect reliable information from a massive amount of data. Data mining is more efficient and cost-effective than other data processing applications. It helps businesses make profitable production and operational adjustments and uses new and outdated systems. Data mining allows companies to make informed decisions and identify credit risks and fraud. In addition to the above, this analysis method allows data processing specialists to easily and quickly analyze massive volumes, initiate automated forecasts of behavior and trends, and detect hidden patterns. Thus, it is possible to conclude that data mining is a convenient and effective way of processing information, which has many advantages. Reference Lu, Z. (2021).

This comparative study is organised in the context of an explanation plan by Wal-Mart as it intends to expand its business to India. This report covers a comparative study of the industrial and labour relation between United States of America and India. The report is expected to give better results, because it will help planning the expansion program more efficiently. Industrial relations may be defined as “employer-employee relationships covered specifically under collective bargaining and industrial relation laws” (Definition, n. d.). Industrial relation in an international context or in international business is different from industrial relations in domestic business. The country difference has a great significant influence on the labour management and industrial relation. The issue that a company face in international context include language difference, cultural difference…etc. (Dowling, 2008, p.250). For any business organization, to step in to or to make an entry to the international market it requires a deep knowledge and awareness of the concerned economy. There are different modes of entry when expanding business to international level. They are export/import, license, franchise, and joint venture…etc. Among these franchise mode is the better option for Wal-Mart for its expansion plan in India. Today the industrial relation is very important and a widely discussed subject and has a great significance in the growth of industries. It can be seen that many problems related to the human resource management is happened due to lack of proper industrial relations in the organizations. Proper industrial relation existing in an organisation means, there is an efficient and effective human resource management system. The terms labour relation and industrial relation are interchangeably used ( Introduction to Industrial relation , n. d.). In India the labour relations practices are giving much significance to the employees and their grievances are easily solved. However, the situation in the United States is not like that in India. There the organisations have very dominant power than the employees. A good industrial relation has a significant role in the success of international expansion of any kind of business. Disputes are common at work places. If there is a better labour relation this disputes can be minimized. If an employer is interac
Introduction This analytical treatise will establish the explicit benefits of a formalized career development system at individual and organization levels. Benefits at the individual level The formalized career development system facilitates the efforts of an individual towards achieving his or her professional and personal development goals. Therefore, the individual will have the capacity to determine future growth plans within a specific career. Such individuals will be in a position to “take personal responsibility and accountability for their career development, acquire or enhance the skills they need to stay current in their roles” (DeCenzo and Robbins, 2007, p. 43). Since the formalized career development plan motivates an individual to achieve personal growth, the elements of motivation and appreciation for personal efforts will make the work environment sustainable and healthy. The system may also offer an individual the benefit of choice and direction of career development. For instance, the individual may have control over the decision on the direction of career and change the decision whenever the environmental dynamics surpasses personal gains. In the end, such an individual will be a proactive, flexible, and strategic in role execution (DeCenzo and Robbins, 2007). Organizational benefits A formalized career development system may be helpful to an organization in terms of setting the expectations and reviewing the success through competencies and learning objectives. For instance, at the organizational level, supervisors or managers may be in a position to constantly and effectively review the feedback from employees. This system makes the relationship between the management and employees a mutually beneficial engagement (DeCenzo and Robbins, 2007). The formalized career development plan provides, “an administrative mechanism for identifying and tracking development needs and plans in an organization” (DeCenzo and Robbins, 2007, p. 47). Moreover, such an organization may be empowered to plan for development and training requirements effectively. The organization may also use the system to “align employee training and development efforts with its mission, goals, and objectives” (DeCenzo and Robbins, 2007, p. 51). Since training engages in an active process of learning through skill evaluation, facilitation, and rewarding collective learning, the ideal module for organizational success relies on the scope of the formalized career development plan. The three building blocks of success evaluation include learning intrapersonal performance, learning processes, and practical leadership to reinforce performance. Better
Dante Alighieri is one of the greatest poets of Medieval Italy. All his works are marked with the unique style and progressive ideas of his time. Dante is famous for writing his The Divine Comedy in which he described his journey through Hell and Purgatory to Paradiso. This poem is recognized as the most precise description of the netherworld. A high number of academic works have been written in verse. However, it is still not analyzed thoroughly, and some issues are still undiscovered. Scientists and philosophers focused their attention on the chapter Hell (Inferno) while Purgatory (Purgatorio) and Paradise (Paradiso) are worth great attention as well. In this paper, the analysis of Purgatorio and Paradiso shall be provided. The meaning of those poem’s two chapters is significant for understanding the author’s intention and the aim of his writing. The section “Inferno” is focused on the depiction of human sins and weaknesses. The objective of Purgatory and Paradise cantos is to show people the way to salvation. Purgatorio is a “bridge” that separates Hell and Heaven. It is an inseparable part of Dante’s journey. Moreover, it is essential in terms of the redemption and preparation of the protagonist to enter Heaven. For many centuries, theologies denied the existence of Purgatory. Moreover, in some religions, Orthodox, for example, it is still not recognized. But again, as is evident from The Divine Comedy analysis, Dante emphasizes the importance of Purgatory that aims at the cleansing of sin. It is a place for people who did not commit one of the seven deadly sins but were not with God in the moment of their death. The souls of these people are preserved in Purgatory to be forgiven and enter Heaven. The meaning of Purgatory is symbolic. Introducing it into the text, the author depicts the Christian life on the earth. In addition, from the analysis of Purgatorio it is clear that he leaves people a hope that salvation will happen through prayers and believing in God’s mercy. The ending of Purgatorio shows D
Nowadays, the issue of the drinking policy and changes in it has become widely discussed and utterly controversial. Some people consider alcohol as a mere tool of socialization and treat it as if it cannot cause any severe harm. A contrary opinion on the issue exists, and people who hold it support it with undeniable proofs, such as, for instance, abusive and destructive behavior as a result of drinking. Levinthal (2014) notes that “in the eyes of many people, an alcoholic drink is simply a social beverage; in actuality, it is a social drug” (p. 192). It is hard to disagree that many crimes and domestic violence could have been avoided if it was not for alcohol. However, in many cases, it is not the drinking itself that results in some negative consequences, it is mainly the irresponsible drinking that leads to that. Therefore, it is also important to note that alcohol is not solely a reason for a harmful outcome, but the surroundings and other life factors influence the behavior of a person as well, probably even more. One of the essential sections of this issue is legal drinking and its modifiers, such as age. This paper aims at studying this section thoroughly and discussing the effects of nowadays legal drinking age along with some pros and cons of lowering it. To begin with, it seems significant to consider the fact that some states have raised their legal drinking age to 21 recently. Researchers claim that it has some benefits, such as a lowered risk of developing alcoholism later in adult
Process management is central to the production process. It ensures that goods or services produced are of superior quality. Also, process management helps in the identification of areas for improvement. This improves customers’ satisfaction. Process management consists of three processes these are, design, control, and improvement. This paper aims to build a process for managing the quality of a product. Provision of quality goods and services is of the essence in business. The process of developing quality products is a complex interrelationship of various attributes. It entails identification of customer requirements, identification technical requirements, relating the customer requirements to the technical requirements, evaluating competing products or services, evaluating technical requirements, developing targets, and determining the technical requirements to deploy in the remainder of the production/delivery process. This process design is comprehensive since it takes in to account all necessary functions of process management. It improves the quality of goods and services produced. In developing the process design, assume a hypothetical product X. This product is manufactured. Therefore, I work in a manufacturing company which produces this product. The company works for the Army as the potential customer for the product. At the company, product X goes through assembling at various stations. A manufacturing process goes through three distinctive steps. These steps are the reception of input, the transformation of input, and output. Similarly, the company receives inputs which are semi-processed goods. The company imports inputs from international and national companies located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It relies on three suppliers from UAE. This ensures a reliable supply of raw material. Also, it uses a Just-In-Time production strategy for ordering inputs. This strategy reduces in-storage cost. In addition, since the inputs can easily be corroded when they get into contact with other chemicals, the ordering strategy maintains the quality of inputs. Transformation stage comprises of assembling of the inputs. Assembling is divided into stations. The final stage involves verification and transportation of output for storage. Before, delivery of the final product, the customer, that is, t
The history of Cambodia is closely associated with the intensive interaction of such important forces as the opposed political parties, influential external actors, and significant religious groups. The development of the nation in Cambodia directly depends on the relations of religion and politics in the country. From this point, it is important to focus on the effective peacebuilding activities and practices based on the religious principles and realized in Cambodia in order to regulate political conflicts in 1993 and 1998. Referring to the historic events, it is possible to state that religion is closely connected with politics in Cambodia in spite of the followed principles of the religious neutrality. Thus, Buddhism is the national religion in Cambodia, and the Buddhist monks played an important role in the political conflict regulation in 1993 and 1998 in spite of the stated ideas of neutrality and non-partisan roles. The Discussion of the Conflicts and the Timelines Before 1993, Cambodia was divided into two political factions that were in a constant developing conflict during a long period of time, without proposing any possible solutions. In addition, the Buddhist religious groups were inclined to preach peace and reconciliation as a way of diverting people’s attention from the political issues to the idea of the nation-building. The important events occurred in 1993 when the political coalition was organized as a result of the UNTAC activities and the 1993 elections. Cambodia has gained the political stability. However, the fragile coalition could not develop during a long period of time, and the year of 1997 was characterized by the examples of significant military violence. The tense situation in the country’s politics found its resolution in the elections of 1998 which aimed to promote the political stability in the country, but they also led to the post-elections conflicts (Morris 193-194). Thus, the timeline of the political conflicts in Cambodia includes several important dates which are the period of the elections in 1993, the military conflicts in 1997, the elections of 1998, and the post-elections conflicts. In spite of the fact that these conflicts were rather similar in their ideas, they differ significantly in relation to the role of Buddhist clergy and monks in these conflicts. Thus, if the Buddhist clergy focused on the peace walks as the main method to predict and resolve the conf
Introduction Inventory has always been defined as the taking of stock for raw materials, supplier components, and works in process and even finished goods that appear at various points of production and logistics channel. Others define it as the listing of assets or any form of items for formal purposes. Inventory involves several activities which among others include recording of items, time and even costs involved in the management of the listed items. The process of taking inventories involves a cost and that is why several methods of taking inventories exist and people adopt the different methods depending on the processes involved. Process Management problems involve decision making problems. The fact that companies have to acquire, allocate and control the factors of productions brings out the necessity for inventory management. In order to improve the management of a business, sometimes it is necessary to change the inventory method so as to realize what you have not been achieving and the reasons behind. In order to reduce the inventories and thus the costs involved, it should be the role of the company management to ensure that the activities taking place in the business are geared towards achieving and meeting the customer needs without excess stocks being left unused. The process of change of inventory can also be achieved through analysis of all the inventory items involved. With the goods in the inventory being important according to their contribution towards the company goals, the items which generate high returns should be given a higher priority compared to those with low returns. The process of inventory can also be changed by classifying the inventory according to the bulkiness in order to be aware of the transport logistics that may be involved. This is due to the fact that different items require different transport means. The inventory method can also be changed by adapting new, better, and improved demand forecasting methods. Better forecasting methods reduces variability in terms of the expected against actual sales. The management can also introduce inventory management software which, when data is fed to it, can predict all the inventory management that is involved. By managers using this software, they are able to predict easily the fast moving inventories as well as the more profitable items in the company. Finally, the use of postponement methods is another way of improving and changing the inventory method. This process involves modifying or customizing products after the main manufacturing process has been completed then delay the configuration and distribution process to the time when the distribution cycle will be favorable. Conclusion When the management decides that the existing inventory method in use is not serving the business right, then a process of changing the inventory begins. From the
Introduction For the last seven years, the Chinese government has been working towards the promotion of low carbon energy technologies. In 2009, the government focused on the ‘indigenous innovation’ policy that was aimed at adopting and developing ultra-modern technologies in almost all its sectors. This paper seeks to discuss four managerial dilemmas that such technology standards have posed. Analysis of the Case Competition by the US China has been facing stiff competition from the United States of America. Having been confronted with an intense congressional criticism concerning solar subsidies, the US the administration headed by President Obama was worried about the China’s new energy policies (Vietor 1). In turn, the US government resorted to saving its energy competitiveness by upgrading its technology standards to be ahead of China (Urban and NordensvaÌˆrd 200). In 2011, the installation of the three wind turbines in Minnesota caused a 42% increase in the import of the Chinese solar cells by the United States with over 30 times exports of the US solar energy going to China (Lewis 78; Vietor 5). The situation forced China to develop low carbon sources within the country. Poisonous Carbon Emissions China needed a lot of energy because its population was growing faster year after another. For instance, the electric generation was powered by hydropower and coal. With coal production, 100 million tons were imported while 3.7 billion tons were obtained from within country. However, the country has worked hard to raise 4.1 billion tons. Ideally, this figure is closely four times the amount produced by the United States of America. China also burns natural gas that is mostly imported at an approximate rate of 8.6 billion barrels of petroleum in a single day. This amount has been more than half of what the country imports. Consequently, the situation has resulted in increased carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, the ‘western’ countries have become much concerned about the issue of climate changes that have in turned pressed China to work on reducing its poisonous carbon emissions (Vietor 5). Pressure by the International Atomic Energy Agency In 2011, China had 14 operational nuclear reactors of about 11,000MW. About 25 of them were under construction while others had been planned to be executed later. The nuclear power was entirely under the watch of the China National Nuclear Corporation. Therefore, besides nuclear safety being regulated by the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA), it was audited by the review teams of safety from the International A
