A business that is related to supply and transference of products must necessarily get involved in the organization of the intricate network of cooperation with other businesses and companies. The needs for a supply chain of a protein bar and shake have specific qualities that must adhere to a structure and communication within the market. More specifically, the supply chain refers to the transfer of information, materials, and the services that are involved (Chase, Jacobs & Aquilano, 2006). A lot depends on how the chain is organized, thus a lot of competition is based on how well companies can manage their product distribution. In relation to protein bars and shakes, the business must establish the market and demand for the product. A lot depends on the location of the business and the local population. If the community is predominantly secluded, old fashioned, and consists of an older population, it would be unwise to offer protein products there. The target consumers are younger adults who are involved in sports, active lifestyle, and go to a gym on a regular basis. One of the primary purposes of the protein bars and shakes is to supply the body with the necessary amount of nutrients, so that the muscle mass grows and any lack of protein is filled. The compact nature of the bar or shake is also meant to be taken on the go where there is no immediate access to a full bodied meal. The society is what determines what products are most popular. The modern world is a fast developing place where the environment demands everything to be done fast and efficiently. Protein bars can be carried anywhere, as they do not require any refrigeration or take up a lot of space. The same can be said about shakes, so people who spend a lot of time working or away from any restaurants or cafes can make use of the compactly pocketed proteins. In the supply chain design strategy, there must be a logical structure that has reliable regularity and fail proof aspects. Supplying a product requires from the local businesses to prepare to receive the product, besides, the people concerned must be made aware of the shipment. Advertisem
Advocacy Challenge During child development, there are many factors that contribute to the holistic growth of one’s physical and mental state. However, while the child tends to perceive the surroundings through the lens of various institutions, including immediate family, educators, peers, and social environment in general, it is the impact of the nuclear family that has a long-term effect on children’s cognitive development. According to the researchers, early child development depends vitally on parents, as “responsive parent-child relationships and parental support for learning during the earliest years of life are crucial for promoting early child development (ECD)” (Jeong et al., 2020, p. 1). Thus, the advocacy challenge for the present action plan is the promotion of holistic child development in children adopted by LGBTQ+ families. Parenting among the LGBTQ+ community, although highly stigmatized and socially prejudiced, has become a widely popular phenomenon across the US and other families. According to Farr and Vâzquez (2020), “lesbian and gay (LG) adoptive parents in the United States (US) have increased in number and visibility; in fact, same-gender couples appear up to seven times more likely to have adopted children than different-gender couples” (p.
Situation Many children aged between two and ten years spend much of their time watching television. Others spend their time playing with electronic gadgets like iPads, iPods, and others. What many people do not understand is that these gadgets may have adverse effects on children. While many children learn a lot through iPads, the negative effects of the iPads overshadow the learning benefit. Using an iPad for a long time may lead to children suffering from visual problems (Dillion, 2004). Limited research focuses on the effects of iPads on children. Many of the existing research agree that children aged between two and ten years encounter visual, pronunciation, violence, and comprehension problems after using iPads for a long time (Korat, 2009). This paper will come up with a PR program aimed at investigating the impacts of using iPads on children aged between two and ten years. Objective The objective of this program is to bring out the negative effects of using iPads among the children. The paper aims at creating awareness within the parents and children concerning the negative effects that iPads have on children. In the long run, the program aims at ensuring that parents reduce the number of hours their children spend playing or texting using iPads. Target audiences Many children do not understand that iPads subject them to visual problems. Hence, they spend many hours using them, which eventually lead to some
Evaluation This event was an unpleasant experience for the patient who expected to get relief from the pain he felt. First, the buddy nurse’s approach to the patient was unreasonable because the patient was in pain, and it was only natural to be agitated. However, I listened to the patient and also avoided confrontation by dragging my buddy nurse away with me. This saved the situation from getting worse although the confrontation that happened was harmful to the patient (Webb, 2011). Analysis My buddy nurse should have stayed calm and listened to the patient’s concerns even if they were offensive. It would have been better if my buddy nurse exercised self-control and stopped the urge to snap back at the patient. While leaving, it was not right for him to make tide remarks to the patient. He should have excused himself to the patient with a promise that he would be back with a solution. The reaction that I gave to the patient was encouraging because I gave him an option of a stronger treatment, which was subject to discussion. Listening to the customer also gave hope that I empathized with his situation (Roussel, Swansburg & Swansburg, 2006). It is also necessary that I should have made a personalized and confidential service to the patient by showing up alone and not with a colleague. This way the patient would feel that he had been assisted because he would be dealing with the nurse who had earlier assisted him. Finishing up with the other patient first may have caused the delay which agitated the patient. It is advisable for a person to make a faster response to avoid cases in which patients get impatient and yell (Williams& Davis, 2005; Koutoukidis, Lawrencem & Tabbner, 2008). Conclusion Healthcare forms part of a patient’s healing process, and healthcare professionals should communicate effectively to build therapeutic relationships with the patients (Van, 1997). For instance, talking to the customer nicely and showing empathy would not only work as the pain killer but would give the patient hope. Making the patient angry makes the pain unbearable and may even worsen the situation. Using persuasive language and listening to the patient as well as offering a faster response develops a strong nurse-patient relationship. This improves the healing process. Active communication with the patient also involves the patient in health care and gives them control over their condition and the treatment that they get. In the above scenario, engaging the patient to enlighten him that he had been taking an overdose would make him responsible and prevent any similar future occurrence. He would feel that he had been saved from consuming more drugs than necessary, and this would encourage him to consult in the future. The situation would have been turned around to a powerful healing process by building a healthy relationship that would make the patien
Introduction In the conditions of economic development, the enterprises face multiple changes in the business environments, and it provokes the necessity for the design of managerial tasks aimed to control the external and internal transformations and to create the adaptive operational processes and systems. The systematization of internal control which has a purpose of timely identification of the resources’ reserves and disproportions becomes especially significant because it allows the companies to elaborate and adopt the measures for reduction of risks and achievement of financial sustainability. The renovation of activities targeting the increase in customer satisfaction and productivity enhancement requires the introduction of new methods of organizational processes, technology, and finance arrangement. In this case, the preventive control procedures, including evaluation of effectiveness and efficiency, are regarded as the essential activities for rationalization of decision-making and selection of alternative programs of development. Many of organizational issues can be resolved through the formation of Accounting Information System (AIS) based on the analysis of internal factors of growth and evaluation of external influences. The purpose of the paper is the assessment of AIS implemented in the UAE Lifecare Hospital (LCH), a unit of VPS Healthcare Hospital, located in Musaffah district of Abu Dhabi. The company provides advanced healthcare services for the district population and operates over twenty departments, including laboratory services, emergency services, and pharmacy ( Life Care Hospital Musaffah Profile , 2014). A large scale of operations requires a thorough control and allocation of resources. The evaluation of LCH’s AIS frameworks and activities will help to establish the extent of its effectiveness. Analysis of Control Frameworks (CF) CF for Internal and External Organizational Environments The organizational control processes ensure the establishment of mutual interrelations between the managerial system and the managed objects or activities. The control processes help managers to accumulate the important information about the actual state and consequences of the managerial decisions’ implementation. The function of internal control implies the evaluation and analysis of working outcomes, and it helps to assess the extent of working efficiency and correct the selected trajectories if needed. Organizational AIS should comply with all factors associated with the current position of the company in the market (Hanifi & Taleei, 2015). And these factors may be both internal and external. According to LCH’s model of control, the internal environment includes organizational structure, culture, and resources. The external factors are competitors in the market, consumers, suppliers, shareholders, and governmental institutions. In LCH’s CF, the external factors shape the rules and standards of internal conduct and establishment of relationships with stakeholders; these standards serve as the orientation for t
Introduction Review of the effect of media on eating disorder symptoms of women has been a topic well researched. Cohen tries to undertake a qualitative study that may demonstrate the researches that have been conducted in this field and what were their findings. She limits her study to researches conducted after 1990. Description of the study Cohen supports her study based on social psychology-driven explanation and media-driven explanation. The former states individuals tend to compare themselves with others. This may be a downward comparison that results from sin heightened self-esteem and upward and upward comparison which leads to increased depression and lowering of self-worth. Since celebrity images become easy referrals, they become objects of upward comparison and results in eating disorders due to highly thin media depicted models. The later, cultivation theory, states that the unrealistic television-related world and exposure to such form of media “cultivates” create beliefs and desires equivalent to the media depicted world. So this suggests that people who have a greater degree of exposure to television will have attitudes that reflect media realities. Hence through both the studies, Cohen asserts that media will have an attitudinal influence on viewers. And based on this, Cohen hypothesizes that there exists a positive relationship between the level of exposure to media and a) higher desire of becoming thin, b) a higher degree of eating disorder, and c) stronger internalization of the thin ideal. To come to a conclusion of the hypothesis Cohen conducts a literature study based on which she first studies the primary variable which includes eating disorders, body dissatisfaction, and drive to thinness. These primary variables were studied in light of independent variables such as sex, age, culture, and race which make one group more prone to media-related disorders than the others. Cohen tries to find out why such a difference occurs. Cohen’s study shows that females have a ten-fold tendency of developing an eating disorder than men. Further, Cohen finds that research has proven that the three types of disorder are more likely to be found among white females. The argument that some researchers put forth is due to the lack of depiction of skinny black women in media. As far age is concerned, Cohen’s study shows that these problems become more acute with high school and college female students, within the age group of 21 to 27 years. In terms of culture and media’s effect researches reviewed by Cohen did not provide any significant conclusion. Cohen then studies personal moderators which makes the problem even more acute. Personal-schema, which means, the perception girls have of their body image and their ideal body image. When the gap in the two images is high, higher will be the dissatisfaction among them regarding their figure and ultimately lead them to become thin by any means. Initial body dissatisfaction had a positive relation between degrees of dissatisfacti
Introduction The early astronomers considered the sun, stars, and planets to be the only components of the entire universe. They had a strong belief that the Earth was the heart of the whole creation. They also realized that stars’ position did not change and that there were other star-like objects as well, wandering amid them. They called the star-like objects; planets, which is a Greek word for “wanderers”. During the early 1500’s, the first astronomer Nicholas Copernicus in a controversial statement asserted that the sun was the center of the solar system, and not the earth. This was not popular with the people and although his ideas were unpopular, he is the father of modern astronomy. Galileo Galilei came later as the first astronomer to study the planets using a telescope (Kruesi 16). Astronomers have with a lot of effort tried to find an answer to the original place of formation of asteroids and comets. As late as mid twentieth century, the well-known theory alleging that asteroids are leftovers of an ancient planet flare-up, still existed. A number of astronomers even believed that majority of these asteroids were situated in the asteroid belt that is located amid Jupiter and mass (Ipatov). On the other hand, they assumed that comets were hanging groups of pebbles and sand that had gathered and were just moving about haphazardly all through the solar system. The idea was that if one of those substances drew near a planet, the bigger body’s magnitude pulled the comet in the direction of the inner solar system where Venus, Earth, Mars, and Mercury inhabited (Brownlee 32). Origin of Asteroids and Comets Due to lack of a clear theory or explanation as to the origin of comets and asteroids, scientists had to seek explanations from diverse outlooks in an effort to give details on the beginning of the solar system. Scientists discarded the previous notion that asteroids originated from an explosion of a planet that was situated somewhere stuck between Jupiter and Mars. This is because the whole mass of entire bodies unc
Among some of the controversial issue facing humanity in the contemporary world, today is the issue of global warming. Global warming has been ranked among the top critical concerns that have disturbed both the scientist and federal government. For a long time, human beings across the globe have been engaging in heated debate on what might be the causes of global warming. The issue has developed into malignancy that now demands the involvement of all countries and affected parties to come together and find its remedy together. Global warming concerns have resulted into many researchers being conducted, writing of countless journals and articles presupposing on what might be the cause, effect and mitigation of this virulent issue. I have a different view from the other writer on what might the cause and effects of global warming. In my opinion, global warming may not even be a reality at all, but rather a flawed conclusion made by the scientists based on the temperature reading that have been distorted by human activities. According to Gray (2001, pg. 2), most of the weather station have been moved close to cities and other town were human activities is high, however; most of the station that are close to rural areas have been shut down. These explain why there has been minimal increase in temperature around rural areas and tremendous increase of temperature around cities and industrial areas. In addition, there is a controversy about how the scientist came to a conclusion that whether humans are influencing climate change and whether the situation will continue in the coming century. The other writer argues that global warming is mostly caused by human activity, however, the argument lack evidence to show that in the recent year’s temperature have increased due to human activities. The author further argues that ground- based measurement show that the average global temperature have raised by 0.6% higher than a century ago and that computer models predict that the global temperature will raise by 1 degree Celsius to 8 degrees Celsius by 2100. From this prediction, the author argues that there will be a rise in sea level, diseases and famines in many areas and extinction of some animals and plants. However, according to Gray (2001, pg. 2), argues that this prediction are not scientifically proven and verified. For example, 60% of the temperature increase mentioned by the writer occurred before 1940, and only 33% of carbon dioxide had occurred by then. These clearly show that the increase in carbon dioxide was not the cause of temperature increase. According to Evan (2007, Pg. 3), research carried out on some of the oldest trees rings, and ice core, which indicates that such, increase in temperature are normal and they occur after a systematic amount of time. From the historical chronologies and accounts as researched by some of the leading archaeologist shows that there is no need to w
Introduction In the world of intense globalization enhanced by technology and the internet, multiculturalism in business and organizations is a common occurrence. Consumer behavior is most affected as people have to adjust to different cultures present within and outside the organization. Researchers always state that consumer behavior is never permanent as it changes over time because the consumers’ taste of products also changes. Consumer behaviour is the study of the factors that influence people to purchase the product. It signifies the study of the complex buying activities that include purchasing, using, and discarding of the product. These activities are influenced by the emotional, psychological, and behavioral state of the person. The consumer’s behavioral state is also affected by culture, which refers to nationality, language, customs, and beliefs of a nation. It influences consumers’ decision-making process. Ethnic groups have their own distinct behavior in purchasing goods. Business targeting ethnic markets must be familiar with cultural diversity. The effects of culture can be seen not just in the study of consumer behaviour and strategy formulation but also in the results of implementing strategies. Advertising promotes products and reminds consumers of the product’s features through various media. Advertising aims at informing the public or bringing the features and characteristics o
Education in Germany and Russia The similarities between the education in Germany and Russia, which the author of the post has mentioned, give a lot of food for thoughts. The author ties in the political history of both states and the history of their education system, which seems rather unusual, yet appear to be quite appropriate in the given case. Indeed, it should be kept in mind that both Russia and Germany – or, at least, East Germany, as it was known at the time – had experienced the era when the Communist party was at the helm and the education system, as well as the state economy and political issues, were regulated in accordance with the Communist principles. The author of the post brings the aforementioned issues up and provides an exhaustive commentary on the specifics of the Russian and German education. As far as the evaluation of the education systems in both states and the definition of the one that works best for teaching students, one must mention that both the effects of the propaganda, which were strong in Russia and channelling the state finances into wars instead of spending them on education, which Germany was said to be doing at the time, must have had severe effects on education. Therefore, the conclusion concerning the benefits of German education seems somewhat lacking evidence. In addition, the research of the question could have been stretched somewhat further, with the evaluation of the effects that technology has provided for both states in terms of education options. Though the effects of the political choices made by the USSR are still strong in Russia and East Germany, one must admit that technological advances have opened new opportunities for both states. Education in France and Germany The author of the text concerning the education systems in Germany and France has addressed a range of peculiar issues. For example, it was a very good idea to relate to the states’ political regimes and education principles. As a result, the seeming similarity between the strategies applied in education establishments in both states turns to be an illusion, and the specifics of the academic life in each state come out into the open. Indeed, it seems reasonable that in Germany, which used to be under the totalitarian reign and, more to the point, was once split into two parts, the quality of education may leave much to be desired compared to other European states and especially France, where the principles of liberty and equality have been used for several centuries. It is also important that the author has outlined the stages, at which the education systems of both states started improving (e.g., Guizot’s influence, the effects of Lutheranism, etc.). The specifics of the German education, which the author mentions as the key to defining which of the systems is best, however, spark some important questions. On the one hand, acknowledging the fact that not all students may be fit for the same type of education allows for creating the environment suitable for a person developing their individual skill and abilities. On the other hand, it seems that students should be p
