The Job Design changes made at the Police Task reallocation One of the requirements is that tasks be hierarchically relocated to optimize resource utilization from the custody officer secured on to the jailer. That could reduce staffing costs, better time utilization, and enable the jailer to accommodate booking-ins in re-allocated tasks through further evaluation of the measures needed. Civilization Reduce payroll costs by increasing workforce roles with the civilization concept underlying the process. That is in addition to using industry managers into leadership positions in the police force to improve the quality of leadership. Centralization Centralization requires a tradeoff between less staff and money saved from less staff. The strategies that could the Police follow to reduce their apparent cost to the public That can be addressed by the use of security instruments such as cameras, DNA testing, IT administration systems, to reduce the role of police as people-based. That is in addition to supplementing the police services by the use of private security firms to perfect the roles performed by the police which gradually leads to lower costs. That is in addition to customer-centric roles previously taken by the police, other government bodies, and reduction of the headcount of the police personnel. The difference between managing costs by budget and an activity-based approach It is an ABC model with two distinct approaches. These include the cost assignment ABC views as costs on activities that drive cost determination on the used resources, and activity drivers used to identify resources. The process assignment ABC views the cost-driven view to determine the cost of executing a given effort. ABC calculates different cost types, based on resource supply variations with activity levels based on organizational variations of the resources supply commitments to optimize unused capacity. A compromise between committed costs and capacity to exactly measure resource utilization is necessary using ABC.
There are critical differences between virtualization and emulation that demand particular attention. Virtualization is a method of splitting a single physical device into several environments (Taylor, n.d.). Emulation is a way to execute processes for one type of a system within another one with a different architecture (Taylor, n.d.). This research paper will discuss what differences exist between these two concepts and their importance. Virtualization and emulation may often be mistaken by a regular user, although they are fundamentally distinct. Virtual machines possess the code that is sufficient to run on a computer, while an emulator uses an interpreter to converse with the already running operating system (Taylor, n.d.). Virtualization accesses the system’s hardware resources directly, creating the potential for optimization (Hammad, 2021). In turn, emulation is much slower than virtualization since it translates its actions first (Hammad, 2021). The significant advantage of emulation is its cost efficiency, as virtual machines are often more demanding (Taylor, n.d.). Their usage differs since virtualization is usually implemented to increase the workload efficiency, while emulation is deployed when the product must be used or tested within a different environment (Hammad, 2021). Understanding these concepts makes it easier for a developer to assess the necessary resources for work adequately. Virtualization can take the form of several instances of an operating system on a machine, while emulation can be presented as software that behaves in a way the real machine with the desired specifics would. In conclusion, virtualization and emulation are two different processes that are defined by their usage of the system’s resources, cost-efficiency, their role in testing environments, and the general purpose. Machines that run virtualizations have these systems installed directly and use more resources, while emulation is deployed upon the existing structure, making it easier to manipulate. They can serve as testing environments, but each has its specific application.
The crusades were religious wars in Europe. The wars began because the people in West Europe wanted to take back Holy lands that hand fallen into the hands of the Muslims. The crusades resulted from religious revivalism in Europe. The religious wars lasted for a period of two hundred years with eight crusades. Historians say only two of the eight were success the first and the third one. Many people volunteered to participate in the wars to recapture the Holy lands. Various factors motivated the crusades. The crusade movements did not represent a Christian worldview. The first crusade movement of crusades started in 1095 under the motivation of a new form of salvation and recapture of Holy land. Pope Urban spoke to a gathering of people in 1095 and he called them to take action and rescue the holy lands. He inspired the people to take up arms through his inspiration speech that told the listeners to free the Holy lands from “the Muslim infidels” 1 . He told the gathering of the story of the Jesus concerning his crucifixion and death. He referred to his burial place and told them that the places where Jesus had walked were holy places and the Muslim Turks were defiling the holy places and mistreating the pilgrims touring the holy places. The information about the spoiling and mistreatment of pilgrims angered the crowd and hence they were ready to take whatever action the Pope told them would be necessary to take back the Holy land. He did stop at calling for action but he motivated them by promising them a reward for fighting for the Holy land. The rewards included reduction of time in purgatory for those who went to war. He promised them that the suffering they would encounter would be greatly reduced in purgatory. In addition, those who died in the battle would go directly to heaven and bypass purgatory. The Christians of the medieval era believed they needed penance in purgatory because they felt a heavy burden of sin and hence a promise of the omission of penance was readily embraced 2 . The promise of entering heaven directly gave people hope and another way of earning salvation and many were greatly enticed by the new concept of salvation. Therefore, the s
Legal Encounter 1 There are various legal issues surrounding NewCorp’s decision to dismiss Pat without any reasons. In particular, the company is at liberty to terminate any contract based on the behavior of the employees which it deems unacceptable. This implies that a company may dismiss any employee for no reason at all. Nonetheless, Cheeseman (2010) says that the labor laws prohibit some actions that a company may undertake. The employer should not fire Pat on the grounds of faith. Apparently, Pat says that the manager has been acting in a way that attempts to ‘silence’ him in the boardroom. Besides, the management has been noticeably unfriendly. As such, there are no grounds to fire Pat on prejudicial perceptions about him. Besides, NewCorp ought to understand that any act of dismissal should not arise in contravention of any pre-existing public policy (Cheeseman, 2010). Based on that, the company should abide by the labor laws and understand that dismissal of any employee should be in line with laws that protect workers from such unlawful actions. Moreover, the company could undertake the action of dismissing the employee. This is because of the fact that the contract signed indicates that the employer retains the right to hire and fire any employee at will (Werther & Keith, 2000). Legal Encounter 2 The case scenario has different perspectives from which the organization can act. At the outset, it is wrongful to deny an employee’s request for a transfer from work contexts where she/he is suffering from discrimination. According to the code of ethics governing employees, any employee/supervisor should not express any acts of intimacy and personal relationship towards other employees (Werther & Keith, 2000). Undoubtedly, Sam is exhibiting unprofessional behaviour when he denies Paula a transfer to another department. The reason is that he has an intimate relationship with her. Besides, it is wrongful for the company to predispose any employee to a hazardous environment that may lead to health problems. Considering that Paula is pregnant, the department that she prefers may injure the health of her unborn baby (Cheeseman, 2010). To avoid litigations arising from such eventuality, NewCorp has the obligation to deny the transfer request forwarded by Paula. Hence, it is important to transfer Paula to another department since it turns out, the supervisor might take advantage of the employee because of her pregnancy. The labor laws prohibit any company from dismissing or denying employees their rights due to pregnancy. Acting like that, the organization will deny the employee the right to work in a situation free of discrimination. Legal Encounter 3 The case reflects a regulatory compliance issue. The company has predisposed the employee to an environment that compromises his/her health. Despite complying with safety regulations that deem the working context to be safe, Paul still suffers from a health condition that emanates from his work. Weiler (2006) asserts that the company should comply with the set out rules and standards to protect the employees from job-related health complications. To addr
Abstract Although multiculturalism and diversity are used interchangeably in the workplace, owing to their combined role in addressing employee-related issues, this paper confirms that indeed the two concepts are different. As revealed in this study, the observable lack of employees and employers’ awareness of the difference between the above concepts is attributable to the presence of few studies that have been published to address the possible distinguishing aspects. Also, this paper addresses the pros and cons of diversity in the workplace before presenting a detailed discussion of pertinent organizational practices such as employee recruitment, selection, retention, and pay. The prevailing competitive business world has forced contemporary organizations to embrace multiculturalism and diversity during their employee recruitment and selection processes. This paper seeks to find out the difference between the two concepts. As it is found, while diversity revolves around distinctions notable among people regarding their ways of life, masculinity and femininity, sexuality, faith, or socioeconomic settings, multiculturalism is depicted as a wider concept, which appreciates that power in the community may be disproportionate, thanks to the above diversity elements. This study also reveals the advantages and disadvantages witnessed when dealing with a diverse workforce. Overall, diversity is viewed as advantageous because it boosts a company’s efficiency and competitive advantage. Besides, workplace practices such as recruitment, selection, pay, and employee retention are discussed in detail. Multiculturalism and Diversity According to Reddy and Gizachew (2014), multiculturalism and diversity form an innovative way of handling employees. However, although diversity implies the cultural pluralism in the workplace, multiculturalism is a broader expression of the process of dealing with diversity in organizations. According to the authors, this concept entails managing workers in a “total quality manner” (Reddy & Gizachew, 2014, p. 66). In this case, it is crucial to view multiculturalism as an overall framework consisting of values and employees’ manner of conduct acknowledging and appreciating the existence of diverse teams in administrative centers. On the other hand, while multiculturalism focuses of the entire process of dealing with a diverse workplace, diversity emphasizes the incorporation of a range of workers who demonstrate some distinguishing features regarding their ethnicity, cultural orientation, and expertise with the view of tapping into their combined differences to enhance an organization’s productivity. The study by Reddy and Gizachew (2014) introduces an interesting evolving aspect of diversity that is not observable under multiculturalism. Specifically, the last few decades viewed diversity as a mere concept that entailed one’s sexual inclination and race. However, contemporary societies and work settings regard it as an evolved and multifaceted notion that captures work
Considering the case “Jane Doe v. the City of Instrusia”, it should be stated, first of all, that there is the law of implied consent. According to the implied consent law, to drive a vehicle on a public roadway Jane Doe agrees to follow the laws, including those forbidding driving under the influence. Moreover, Jane Doe agrees that in case of driving under the influence of any substances, and, thus, being a danger to society, the police power can be exerted over her. The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects people’s right to privacy securing them from unreasonable searches and seizures. However, the Fourth Amendment “does not guarantee protection from all searches and seizures, but only those done by the government and deemed unreasonable under the law” (Legal Information Institute). The Fourth Amendment’s protection generally applies to blood alcohol tests except if there are exigent circumstances. Thus, each case must be considered individually in order to take into account all the data. In Jane Doe’s case, the police officer decided to conduct a blood alcohol test without a court-approved warrant, as there was not sufficient time to obtain it before the natural metabolization of alcohol. The Supreme Court considers the natural metabolic processes as an exigent circumstance because it poses a threat of the evidence’s loss. Consequently, the urgency of collecting the evidence empowered the policeman to take the blood alcohol test without violating the Fourth Amendment. For instance, the same explanations were applied to Missouri v. McNeely case (Missouri v. McNeely). The latest Supreme Court affirmation of a warrantless blood alcohol test was provided in the Mitchell v. Wisconsin case in 2019 (Mitchell v. Wisconsin). The court, by a 5-4 vote, announced that people driving on a public roadway automatically consented to “having their blood drawn if police suspect them of driving under the influence” (NPR). In prior court rulings, a blood draw was considered a significant intrusion into a person’s privacy. Consequently, the Supreme Court makes the decision and gives explanations relying on the abovementioned precedents and states that the statute that authorized the blood alcohol test from an unconscious Jane Doe provides an exception to the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement. Concerning the search of the Jane Doe’s phone, the Supreme Court considers the policeman’s actions as unreasona
As an object of analysis, the article “China Cuts Tariffs on $75 Billion in U.S. Goods” by Tejada (2020) will be reviewed and summarized. An economic term used in the context of the review is a trade-off, which is a compromise between two parties in relation to regulating a specific financial or any other issue. Its application to the article in question is due to the theme of a truce between China and the United States with regard to tariff prices and the suspension of their protracted trade war. The outbreak of the coronavirus in China has become one of the drivers stimulating the country’s government to reconsider its foreign economic policy. In response to US actions to reduce tariffs on Chinese goods, the eastern authorities did the same. According to Tejada (2020), many conditions have remained unchanged, but some positive changes occur. The agreement on the purchase by China of goods worth a total of $200 billion over the next two years is a guarantee given to the United States. As a result of this trade-off, the countries began moving towards each other. At the same time, concomitant issues arise, and one of the main ones is the outbreak of coronavirus. As Tejada (2020) states, in addition to problems for the healthcare sector, the epidemic inevitably entails economic challenges, for instance, logistical difficulties, a decrease in the share of imports, and other negative implications. The fall in oil prices is one of the consequences of the expected demand from China. Thus, today,
Abstract Maternal role attainment refers to the developmental and interactional process that takes place over a given period of time in a woman’s life. During this time, the mother of a given child attached to her baby attains a state of competence in performing the maternal roles to the infant and shows gratification and pleasure in performing her duties. This process ensures the mother experiences total harmony and develops competence and confidence in carrying out her maternal duties. This is a state referred to as maternal identity. This essay will give a detailed description of the Romana T. Mercer theory and its subsequent application in nursing practice. Introduction The process of becoming a mother is extensive and requires thorough social, psychological, and physical work. During this transition, a woman normally experiences elevated vulnerability and encounters multiple challenges (Mercer 2006). As healthcare workers, nurses have an exemplary opportunity to help these women learn their maternal skills, develop the required confidence, and realize personal growth as they take over their maternal identity. For nurses to effectively perform this duty, they need a thorough understanding of what happens during the particular stages of pregnancy and motherhood (Fenwick, Barclay & Schmeid, 2001). One of the phenomena that best explains this transition is the Romana T. Mercer theory of maternal role attainment. The Theory This theory was coined to help nurses gain knowledge on what to do to assist mothers in developing maternal identity. This theory is applicable throughout the entire duration of pregnancy and during postnatal care. However, it is also very useful to foster mothers, or those who need to perform maternal duties unexpectedly (Warren, 2005). The process that occurs in this model enables the mother to establish a strong attachment to the infant, who also bonds with the mother. Eventually, a mother-to-child relationship is developed as the child grows (Mercer, 2004). The theory uses the notion of a process that involves interaction and development between the mother and the baby for a span of time. Maternal identity is achieved after a process of acquisition that involves four main stages. These stages include the anticipatory, formal, informal, and personal phases. The mother adapts both sociologically and psychologically, as a part of the first phase of anticipation. It may entail maternal fantasies about the duties or learning about the expectations of a mother (Mercer, 2004). The formal phase sets in at birth, when the woman officially assumes the duties of a mother in nursing the infant. During this phase
Planning and Controlling Quality Throughout the project period, managers need to take the issue of quality seriously if they are to meet the demands of the identified client. These professionals can utilize various techniques to control and plan the project’s quality depending on its complexity and the anticipated outcomes. The first one is the client’s quality management methodology ( Project management, 2016). This process of documentation outlines the demands and expectations of the customer. Such a guideline will ensure that all stakeholders and workers focus on the identified needs while making quality a priority. The second tool that has the potential to deliver desirable results is that of flowcharting ( Project management, 2016). Due to the complexities and sequences associated with a particular project, such a diagram will ensure that all professionals consider the required decisions, directions, and activities, thereby improving the level of quality. The third technique that managers can utilize is that of benchmarking. This approach revolves around making timely comparisons and relying on the outlined quality plan to support the delivery of the best outcomes (Oliveira & Martins, 2018). A good example of benchmarking could occur when the involved parties examine some of the outstanding practices in other facilities and organizations to maintain the highest level of quality. Discussing “Quality” The concept of quality remains critical in any given project, service, or product. Managers will rely on their competencies, acquire and utilize the best resources, and engage their followers to deliver the intended results in a timely manner. During such a process, the involved professionals will have to study the original plan a
Introduction  1. Water is a sacred resource for indigenous tribes, especially Indians.  2. That is why specific attention is paid to the issue of water rights and governments recognize the criticality of reviewing cases related to this problem.  3. In this way, the concept of water rights is connected to a wide range of other rights – fishing, dam construction, environmental health – as well as responsibilities.  4. Nevertheless, for this paper, only those rights related to water supply support will be reviewed.  5. Still, it is critical to remember that the outcomes of legal and public negotiations depend upon the desire of parties involved and public opinion regarding the issue. Description of the Case  1. The issue of tribal water rights is associated with numerous legal and court cases.  2. Still, the paper at hand aims at analyzing the case related to Chippewa Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy’s Reservation and the State of Montana.  3. The rationale for choosing this case for assessment is not only its connection to tribal water rights but also the fact that it is the community that plays a major role in the solution of legal cases (Cosens 9).  4. This case dates back to 1997 when Chippewa Cree Tribe and the Montana Reserved Water Rights Compact Commission requested the Montana State Legislature to review the details of water support and secure the right of the Reservation to clear water supply as well as provide domestic water to all people living within the territory of the Reservation.  5. In this way, the case is related to natural rights – the right to control water supply and have adequate access to clear and domestic water. Parties Involved  1. There were three parties involv
