Problem Statement From its establishment West Midlands Designers and Architects Ltd. (WMDA Ltd.) used to be a very profitable company with a great amount of orders and completed projects. However, 3 years ago, with the collapse of the property market, business of the company decreased. Reduction of orders’ quantity may signal a threat of a total collapse of WMDA Ltd. Analysis Company’s Management and Structure WMDA Ltd. is a private company run by Russell Quinn. He managed to establish a warm and friendly atmosphere among his staff. This may have caused a relaxed state of staff during the working day as significant part of their conversations are sure to deviate from work related issues. Company consists of 10 hired architects and the owner himself. Salary and Payment Systems There was no mention of the payment system of this company, though it seems that piece-rate pay is established in this company. This opinion is based on two facts: WMDA Ltd. is a small company and colleagues are friendly, so to make everyone feel happy, such kind of payment is the best way to choose. Competition In the past a lot of architect companies were in-demand, as the economic position was stable and people tended to buy new houses and a lot of new buildings were appearing. High demand on architect projects provoked growing of a great amount of architect companies. Since the world financial crisis shattered the property market, demand tends to reduce. Therefore, rivalry between architect companies tends to grow higher and conditions to survive became more severe. Products WMDA Ltd offers architect projects and all facilities connected with it. In past, this company was of great popularity with such great quantity of offers that it hardly managed to fulfill all of them. Staff/Personnel WMDA Ltd consists of ten architects of different age, sex and qualification and of its chief Russell Quinn. Almost all of them are considered to be bright specialists in their field, though some of them tend to be more sociable, than hard-working. Company finances As the world financial crisis struck property marked making it almost collapse, the financial side of the company also suffered a lot. Quinn can no more afford ten architects in his staff. Recommendations Considering the situation with WMDA Ltd., I think that there are several ways to make Mr. Quinn’s business better. So here are my recommendations:   * LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) method. It means that the architects who were recently employed (within two or three years) must be fired. Under this category fall Donna and Paul. But firing Donna will be no good decisions as she receives orders from the government which are sure to bring company big money. Concerning Paul I think that his firing will be sufficient as he has no peculiar architect talents, but he tends to be too sociable organi
Introduction Human life sometimes resembles a strain of events significant enough to change one’s life in a completely different direction a few times within one’s journey in this world. One of these choices is related to the sacrifice of one’s personal life for the sake of saving the lives of others. However, while some people regard this choice as their direct job description (e.g., rescue teams, firefighters, police officers), others voluntarily give up their ambitions in order to take care of those around them (Gérain and Zech). The issue tackling these different phenomena is the fact that whereas the former sacrifice is not a long-term process, as saving one’s is frequently an endeavor that requires as little time as possible, so-called informal caregiving sometimes takes decades. The very paradigm of patient-caregiver communication is mostly focused on the patients’ behavioral patterns and his or her level with satisfaction with current lifestyle and care. It goes without saying that people who no longer have the ability to take care of themselves are to be treated in the best possible way. However, with more than 15 million Americans taking care of their relatives, one might ponder their mental ability to cope with patients who often lose the desire to live (Kaminishi, Reza, and Hirsch). While the relatives with health issues feel depressed about being nothing but a burden to their loved ones, caregivers feel exhaustion, self-hatred because they are not able to help their relatives and ongoing guilt of feeling tired of taking care. Such a vicious cycle of contemplation eventually leads to the caregiver burnout, which scholars define as: the degree to which a caregiver’s emotional or physical health, social life, or financial status has suffered as a result of caring for a relative with the major or mild neurocognitive disorder (NCD), other neuropsychiatric conditions, or functional impairment. (Kaminishi, Reza, and Hirsch 692) Furthermore, there are many books and manuals for caregivers on how to behave around their relatives. However, there is barely a dozen of books aimed at helping the caregivers cope with the levels of stress, responsibility, and exhaustion they are going through every single day. Silent Struggler: A Caregiver’s Personal Story is a book written by Glenn Mallette through the prism of his personal experience of taking care of his wife. Hence, the book itself is a manifesto for those who encounter the same challenges on a daily basis, which encourages them to make their life fulfilled again. Book Resume Published in 2000 by Inspiration Press, Silent Struggler – an autobiographical novel, which reflects the author’s struggles and achievement throughout his caregiving journey – became Glenn Mallette’s debut in the writing career. While at first, Mallette had no intention for this book to become a best-seller, the idea behind actually paying attention to the caregivers’ community found q

Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, faced the greatest downfall in the history. Hasty steps toward technological advancement cost him thousands of human lives and the world’s indignation and contempt. Nowadays, the story Oppenheimer’s feeble attempt to promote scientific and technological explorations makes discussion about information technology more complicated and challenging. In particular, are there chances that technological impact on education can bring similar destructive effect? Will it promote education at a more efficient level? The problem is that when studies about impact of technologies and the studies aimed at discussing the outcomes of drill-and-practice programs are combined, the conclusions may vary. In particular, there are many types of educational plans and there are many technological introductions and, therefore, it is impossible to find a definite answer on the question: does technology positively influence an educational process? Despite this multidimensional retrospective, technological innovation has always been aimed at improving academic programs. Manifold effects of technological advances, hence, are inevitable, which can be explicitly illustrated in the chain of technological and scientific introductions of mankind to more vivid and effective methods for knowledge acquisition. History of humankind has always been marked by tireless attempts to cognize the unknown spots of science. Their desperate desire to learn the universal truth and to modernize all spheres of human activities has inevitably led them to new modes of knowledge acquisition. Frankel (1972) singles out three main principles on which human progress is based: criticism, history, and science. To elaborate on this issue, the first principle implies that people have always been captured by objects and phenomena that excite their imagination, delight, and interest. Second aspect involves flashbacks to the past connected to the evocative activities that keep memories about those emotions. The final principle is more concerned with the activities aimed at explaining and organizing the events by means of generally accepted rules. All these principles are encircled into an endless whirlpool of knowledge and experience contributing to facilitation and promotion of new models of learning. This scheme is applicable to a science and technology sphere as well because it allows people to focus on the most salient inventions of human mind. In addition to the principles, there are specific theories explain
The recall of Toyota vehicles in 2009 and 2010 attracted the attention of governmental agencies and journalists who criticized the company for its failure to ensure the safety of their cars (Bunkley, 2010, p. 4). Many consumers are now aware of the car accidents that were primarily caused by the deficiencies of Toyota Camry and Toyota Corolla (Bunkley, 2010, p. 4). The negative publicity is probably the main reason why the financial performance of this organization declined significantly and its market share decrease relative to the major competitors. Currently, this corporation attempts to regain the trust of customers. This paper is aimed at discussing current strategies that Toyota implements in order to overcome public relations difficulties. On the whole, the problems encountered by this company demonstrate that modern businesses should always remember about their corporate social responsibility; their profitability and reputation. Nevertheless, Toyota will manage to cope with this problem, if they adhere to their policy of quality improvement. First of all, the annual report of Toyota emphasizes the importance of safety for this corporation. In particular, it is argued that the ultimate goal of this corporation is the zero casualties of their vehicles (Toyota Motor Corporation, 2011, p. 14). In particular, this company will carry out investigations of various accidents in which their vehicles were involved (Toyota Motor Corporation, 2011, p. 14). Furthermore, they intend to carry out numerous simulations in order to detect possible limitations of their cars (Toyota Motor Corporation, 2011, p. 15). The results of these tests can help this corporations create safer vehicles. This is the core strategy that they want to adopt. In this way they intend to eliminate the slightest deficiencies of their cars. Additionally, this company intends to introduce cars that pose a lesser threat to pedestrians and decrease the risk of injuries. Again, they want to achieve this objective through a series of tests and simulations. Provided that the strategies advocated by Toyota succeed, this organization can indeed restore its reputation and gain the trust of their clients. This policy is consistent with the culture of Toyota because this corporation continuously stresses quality improvement of their products. However, it may take this company many years in order to achieve the goals. The problem is that the recall of vehicles has been wide discussed in various media, and these reports produced a long-lasting impression on many customers. This problem is particularly important nowadays when the news about a specific event is spread via social networks very quickly. This is why Toyota will have to spend much time in order to change the opinions of clients and public organizations. Under these circums
Introduction A database is basically a collection of tables that hold the data in an organized manner. It is used in companies where data usage is integrated and shared. Most companies use databases to record all kinds of information that is confidential to outside parties. Databases make data management more efficient and effective. It provides an integrated view of the organization’s operations and reduces the probability of inconsistent data. Hence, it is of great importance to keep these databases secure and safe from outside intrusion. Discussion There are a number of factors that need to be considered when designing databases. The design of the database is important as it eliminates unwanted data redundancy and the errors generated due to misinterpreted data. As the director of security of a computer software company, the security and integrity of the database hold significance as the information and data regarding the programs is one of the essential assets. There is an enormous risk of physical or internet intrusion into the database; therefore, it is important for the security director to ensure that the company data is safe. Database attacks are the cause of most fraudulent activities that damage the internal as well as external structure of the companies. If the database is not secure enough, it may be intruded on, and the information may be hacked and used in an adverse manner which may badly affect the company. The computer software industry is one that is flourishing and expanding rapidly, there is immense competition and innovation in the market of computer software, and hence, it is important to be private about the developments taking place within the company. The designing of specialized programs requires a great deal of time and effort, and all the advancements are recorded and saved within the company database for continuation or future references. Intrusion into the database systems of the company could result in the loss of precious data, and the advancements made by the company may be gone astray. This illegal act of intrusion or infringement is increasingly common in competing industries. The computer software company is highly susceptible to intrusion and is likely to be hacked and manipulated. More importantly, a company’s database contains sensitive information which in case of an intrusion, can be revealed to external sources. Hence, it is important to have a powerful and well equipped, and updated security control over the entire data and information of the company. The database of the company is at risk from physical intrusion as well as intrusion through the internet. Physical intrusion can be carried out by gai
Introduction Throughout history, homelessness has been an aggravating factor of health disparities in the world (Smedley, Syme, 2000). Recent studies show considerable difference health outcomes between homeless populations and people with homes (Davis, Cook & Cohe, 2005; (Adler & Newma, 2001). In this paper explores some of the social, cultural, and political factors that propel disparities in health among the homeless, and policy frameworks that can serve to redress these disparities. Factors leading to health disparities among the homeless The social environments affect the health statuses of people both directly and indirectly because they influence behavior change. According to Husain (2002), children exposed to environmental stress factors such as gunshots were more vulnerable to asthmatic conditions compared to children living in safe homes. In as a separate study, Geronimus (2001) suggested that total exposure to stress factors in residential environments had a significant impact on morbidity and disability. Therefore, homelessness exposes people to neighborhood environmental factors that limit their ability to remain physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy. Ordinarily, homelessness and poverty are inextricably linked conditions that conspire to bring about severe health disparities. Studies indicate that since homeless people are low-income earners, they do not have the capacity to access adequate nutrition. Additional studies have suggested that the unavailability or inability of destitute populations to access supermarkets due to location disadvantages reduces the rate of fruit intake by about 30%. This means that their income capacity coupled with lack of access to ready foodstuffs generates a change in behavior influencing their eating habits. On the other hand, low-income earning capacity is associated with risk factors, including physical inactivity, substance abuse, and high-fat dietary. External contributors of desperate health statuses of homeless people remain eminent. Many studies cite constant misconceptions and prejudices accompanying the provision of healthcare services as phenomenal factor leading to health disparities across the world. Attitudes of healthcare professionals providing homecare for displaced and homeless people related to the trendy deterioration of health outcomes among the homeless. Studies show that experiences of patient-professional relationship affects repeat healthcare visits of patients (Husain, 2002). Therefore, where patients perceive health professionals as prejudiced or less caring because of their perceived position in the society, they tend to shy from seeking medical attention at the time of need. This aggravates poor health outcomes among the affected populations. Policy actions that will reduce d
Cultural Stereotyping Cultural stereotypes refer to the biased ideas that people develop regarding the cultural orientations of people from different parts of the world. Culture refers to the values and norms associated with a given society; hence, cultural stereotypes refer to the misconceived ideas held by people about the values and norms of other societies. Cultural stereotypes are developed when people adopt uninformed opinions about other people, concerning their backgrounds (Kashima, Lyons, & Clark, 2013). Origins of Cultural Stereotyping Cultural stereotyping normally originates from the development of opinions about other people without referring to factual information about their values and norms. Judging people based on their cultural backgrounds is also a major source of cultural stereotyping (Kashima et al., 2013). For instance, an individual claiming they are American results in other people creating mental ideas of the personality expected of an American, rather than focusing on the individual in question. In most cases, biased ideas are passed from one individual to another in the same community, and the media has a particularly big role in spreading cultural stere
Qatar Airways is the national airline of the State of Qatar that has been awarded for the excellent onboard service many times and is currently considered one of the most luxurious airlines across the globe. The company started its operations as a small regional carrier in 1994 and was re-launched in 1997 to be transformed into one of the most recognizable international airlines featuring the highest level of performance. The company makes emphasis on people as the major corporate value. It specifically stresses its pride in Qatar, its nation, and heritage that is symbolized by the flag carried to all parts of the world. Another significant value is the customer’s satisfaction as the company believes that its clients’ needs are prioritized over any other (which is believed to be a reflection of Qatari hospitality). The ultimate goal is to leave unforgettable memories of the flight regardless of its destination. Qatar Airways promotes excellence in all the operations performed. Another value is honesty and commitment: the company guarantees its clients and employees an honest treatment concerning both financial and non-financial aspects. The employees are loyal to their common goals and seek opportunities for further improvement. The organization cares a lot for its personnel and encourages a team approach in every aspect. As the national leader of the field, Qatar Airways strives to go beyond the best practices currently dominating the industry. The company has already launched a comprehensive change process that is aimed to achieve higher environmental sustainability through the increase of corporate social responsibility. Qatar Airways is involved in fuel research with the purpose of developing new-generation fuel and has already become one of the unquestionable leaders of the field. Not only does it use its best practices to guarantee the sustainability of its own operations but also cares for the staff, locals, and environment. In 2012, the company joined a global educational program Educate A Child (EAC), which is meant to solve the common problem of many children over the world who have no access to public elementary education. The company expressed its willingness to achieve a breakthrough in helping children who are currently suffering from starvation, poverty, illiteracy, racial discrimination, war, and other external factors that hinder education. The program has already demonstrated significant results. Such corporate responsibility and deep i
