Executive Summary This report provides a detailed plan to introduce an SMS traffic jam alert for drives across the UAE. It seeks to use modern HD cameras and movement detectors to collect data concerning the traffic jams. As such, the data will be sent to the clients upon request through the service providers. After the evaluation of the market situation and SWOT analysis, the report identifies radio stations as the major threat because they provide the information for free. However, the threat is not intense because the information is not customized and reliable. On the other hand, the SMS alert is customized, quick, and efficient to use. As such, it has great potential to generate profit, especially at a time when traffic jams have become a major concern. Importantly, the service will be marketed using text messages, which can reach many people within a very short period of time. As such, it is expected to meet overwhelming applause from the general public and other stakeholders. Current Market Situation Market Problem Traffic jam has become one of the most problematic challenges as far as the economy of UAE is concerned (Hazbun 78). For example, the Sharjah-Dubai Etihad road experiences critical and massive congestion starting from Alkan Bridge (Elsheshtawy 167). Indeed, traffic jams have important economic impacts on the individual and national-wide economic stability. Understandably, traffic consumes critical and resourceful time for employees going to work and the businessmen seeking to handle their daily chores (Davidson 138). Furthermore, the traffic jams pose a critical problem to the public transport system because they have to wait until the congestions are eliminated. As such, they lead to significant macro and micro-economic losses across the country. Market Need Due to the prevalence of the above problem, there is a high need to develop a system that can solve this problem and enable people to get their way without encountering traffic jams. In this case, the urgent need to avoid jams along the roads provides a high market for an SMS alert service that can help drivers to spot congestion. However, the only available services include the announcement made on the radios concerning the congested roads. However, the schedule of the announcements is determined by the radio presenters. This implies that the drivers cannot access the information at the time they need it. As such, the market can absorb the SMS alert service because it closes this gap. Evidently, drivers can request a report on the traffic congestion around the country at will. As a result, it is a better alternative when compared to the existing services offered. Market Description Customer Base The customer base for the traffic jam SMS alert service is quite extensive, especially when it comes to the ent
Social Welfare Despite a fundamental economic growth witnessed by Japan ensuring to provide high standards of living along with an overall conducive environment, there is an increasing cluster of significant social problems. These problems are aggressive as well as passive in nature. Although every social problem is of a substantial concern for the Japanese people, some of them will be discussed in this paper. Issue of Pension The entire working population of Japan has been exclusively covered by a unique public pension system. Historically it has been a feature of Japanese social and economic system to treat their non-employees, for instance self-employed, and the employees differently. One significant issue related to pension is that the ‘Employees’ Pension Insurance’ (EPI) encompasses almost every employee particularly in the private sector, but does not provide coverage to part-time employees. Pension benefits specifically as a source of income after employees’ retirement is a critical issue. The dependent spouses of workers are not treated equally in the current pension system. The pension benefit has significant negative impacts, directly on labor force participation related to the elderly. Moreover, most pensioners do not make payment of income tax. Even though members of employee pension plan receives the related benefits at the age of sixty and members of mutual aid association at the age of fifty seven, the reduction of forty two percent in pension benefits are taken by those on basic old-age pension provided they receive them only form the age of sixty. (Rosenberger, 10). Issue of Working Conditions The Japanese workforce is mostly skilled and well-educated mainly due to the educational system in Japan. The high standard of living in Japan is ensured by setting a minimum wage rate which is appropriate for a decent and respectable living standard for employees and their families. However, there are some significant issues related to working and living conditions of employees. Japanese labor law provides for a minimum of forty hour workweek. Yet, the law is generally not enforced particularly in the small firms. The role of Japanese workers is significant in the rise of Japan to the status of economic super power. Workers endure and persevere day after day, showing their support and loyalty. Death by overwork is a continuous and increasingly general result of such perseverance. However, the scenario is changing and workers have started demanding extra time for recreation and also for them. The overwork and its grave consequences are mostly the result of corporate governance existing in Japan in which managers have autonomy to pressurize employees into accepting overtime. Moreover, manages emphasize that sacrifice and hard work are essential for personal growth and promotion, resulting in overwork. The overall living conditions are acceptable and admirable; however the scenario is not the same in case of homeless people. The public aid particularly to the poor has remained insignificant
Introduction Climate change and its impact on biodiversity can be traced through the investigation of the ongoing transformations in the various ecosystems such as marine and forest environmental structures. Climate change affects human society as well, which can be easily demonstrated by the changes in agricultural practices (Moss et al. 750). The topic of the environmental transformation and its effects has been examined for decades and all the available data is considered in forecasting and designing different scenarios. The fundamental factor – an adaptation of humanity to the changing environment – justifies the necessity for an investigation of the climate transformation and its outcomes about biodiversity and the human population. This essay’s primary objective is to trace and evaluate the impact of climate change on biological diversity through the lens of transformations in the marine and forest ecosystems and evaluation of the agricultural sector both as an affected party and as one of the major contributors to the adverse effects associated with climate change. Farming and Biodiversity The effect of environmental changes on farming relates to economic and survival issues. In the agricultural sector, as well as in the various ecosystems of our planet, the main concern, associated with climate change, is the growing level of carbon dioxide and how it affects the cultivation of crops. Depending on the region, the changes in temperature can have both positive and negative impact: “small beneficial impact on rainfed crop fields may be found in mid- and high-latitude regions with moderate-to-medium local increases in temperature along with the associated carbon dioxide increase and rainfall changes” (Rosenzweig et al. par. 8). On the other hand, the same conditions in the low-latitude areas have an unfavorable effect on crops. The models of climate change on agriculture have to be developed with the greenhouse emission patterns and temperature rise is taken into account because the environmental transformations may significantly affect the provision of security. At the same time, the growing population of the Earth and, as a result, the increase in the food demand leads to the spreading of single-crop farms, which in turn contributes to the reduction of biodiversity. The artificial vegetation, introduction, and application of genetically modified species have adverse effects on various ecosystems as well. Consequences of Climate Change on Marine Ecosystems The incre
Introduction Even as Charles Ives has been touted as an icon of the American music, nevertheless this great music composer has not evaded the wrath of critics. A number of his critics have confessed that they often find his music to be quite pompous and bombastic. There have also been claims that his music is somewhat timid, based on the argument that a number if fundamental sounds that are characteristic of the conventional European music are very much a part of his own artistic work (Von 2003). Even Elliot Carter, who was once an avid supporter of Ives work, has since termed it ads being incomplete. Main body Charles Ives has gone down the history books as perhaps the one of the most revered composer of the “classical” music within the United States (Sherwood 2002). The relationship that Charles Ives has had with American music appears to almost equal the connection that Walt Whitman enjoyed in as far as the American poetry is concerned. There are also a number of analysts that have compared this relationship with the one that Charles Pierce had with the philosophy of the United States. Ives, just like Pierce received little recognition over his lifetime (Von 2003). As an idealist and a visionary, Charles Ives was able to endeavor listeners to the music that the composed. Arnold Schoenberg has boldly testified about the level of greatness of Charles Ives, within the American music industry. In note that has discovered by his wife following his death, Schoenberg recognizes Ives as a result composer who assist individual to find a solution to their problems, through his music. During the twentieth c
Introduction Western Australia (WA) Public Private Partnership (PPP) is a project that achieves to construct four new primary and four new middle schools between 2017 and 2023. It is expected that a program of such a significant level will possess a highly efficient management system to ensure the appropriate construction and maintenance of educational establishments. As the Office of the Auditor General indicates, the governance system comprises a steering committee established to deliver strategic guidance on the Project, and a project control group that gives general direction concerning Project’s realisation. Overall, the management system excellently delivers communication between all project participants, which have critical significance for the program’s successful outcomes. Nevertheless, despite the high organisational level, the project faces particular issues that hinder the adherence to the set delivery schedule. In particular, an audit conducted in 2018 disclosed the absence of an adequate contract management system. Despite the availability of two specially appointed staff for contract management, DoE did not develop a suitable contract management plan and inspection program to control the contract and check service performance adequately. These contract management tools are of acute necessity for long-term, high-value contracts since they guarantee that builds’ maintenance and other services correspond to contract specifications. In addition, there is a drawback of reliable information on costs about the maintenance of the DoE’s school system, resulting in tangle and mistrust between some stakeholders. Shortly, the governance system of the program encounters two identified issues that should be resolved to deliver excellent outcomes. The problems in the management system created considerable difficulties while opening schools. Firstly, EduWest failed to provide sufficient recruitment and training of cleaning and gardening staff because of the lack of a transparent information management system, including required checks. Secondly, some furniture and equipment were wrongly selected and had to be replaced due to the limited time of the school principals’ involvement. Thirdly, contract management personnel were employed too late, namely, two months before school openings. EduWest did not design the electronic system (QFM) for recording school jobs, which follows the contract requirements. Although the determined issues may be regarded as insignificant since the program progresses on schedule, resolving them can bring substantial advantages for the project. First, governance should formulate a competing
Introduction The inclusion of people with various types of disabilities is the primary task of Australian communities. It seems to be challenging and requires a specific approach. Leisure centers all over the country develop strategies in alignment with communities’ policies intended to improve the lives of disabled people. To provide the required services, it is vital to consider each separate disability condition and its peculiarities to make participants feel safe. Thus, for example, the consideration of Parkinson’s disease by the owner of Sutherland Leisure Center would allow it to benefit from a higher degree of satisfaction of people with this condition. Sutherland Leisure Center Sutherland Leisure Center is one of the largest leisure facilities in New South Wales, and it provides a row of services to children and adults. One of the principal activities it offers is swimming, and it is available for all of the categories of customers. Moreover, there is a lot of various training programs for different age groups such as aerobic, spin, circuit, and aqua classes on schedule (Sutherland Leisure Center, 2020). The services of this leisure center are also available for disabled groups. However
In many communities, human sexuality is regarded as a mysterious reality; many communities avoid talking about sex and sexuality. As a result, young people do not receive sex education. My motherland China is a classic example of a community that for many years has invested in sex education. The young Chinese are not taught reproductive rights and responsibilities, sexual abstinence, and birth control. In society, parents, formal school programs, and public health campaigns are tasked with educating the youth on responsible health. However, the failure to teach sex education places a burden on young people to discover other channels for getting sex education. It also implies that in adulthood, many people are not aware of their reproductive health rights and emotions. In addition, the lack of sex education has led to an unfriendly environment for some people in China. For example, there is an intolerant environment for homosexuals in China. Furthermore, there is a perspective that every family should be raising or making the next generation for their family. This is due to the deep-rooted belief that sex is purely for procreation. To change irresponsible sexual behaviors and negative perceptions towards various social orientations, there is a need for sex education studies in China. The knowledge I have gained in the sex education classes has enlightened me on many issues that relate to reproduction and reproductive health. Throughout the semester, the classes have provided me with critical knowledge on matters about human sexuality. To replicate the benefits, the learning institutions in China should start programs aimed at fostering responsible behavior and positive attitudes that promote sexual responsibility for the young generations.
An understanding of the ongoing relationship between chiropractic medicine and philosophy is an essential scope of learning that I have experienced since my first specialization as a chiropractor at the Life University of Chiropractic (LUCC). Having been from Korea where full adoption of that new system of medical care remains unknown, my acceptance of the trend and need for more chiropractors is a necessity that must be taken back home to improve the health of the Koreans. Through my studies at the university, I came to learn that it is not only recording the symptoms and observing the specific part of the body but also checking the functioning of the whole body is necessary before giving any medication. For sure, in some cases, the body is capable of healing itself, but only upon the realization of such conditions. The general study of the immune system of the body is one thing that I would forever apply in my undertakings as a chiropractor taking into consideration the societal part of the life of the patients. Another vital experience is the norm of preventing the emergence of a disease or complication rather than waiting until the emergence of the complication is when a doctor struggles to heal the person. For sure, none is always willing to fall sick. The body of an individual operates at optimum conditions that need maintenance to function properly (Seaman 61). The cost of prevention is much lower than the cost of curing. As a chiropractor, I believe that regardless of the wrong perception of the traditional herbal medication, there is still a necessity to maintain the body at a constant condition. For instance, a normal human body operates at 37 0 C within all locations. Notably, a change in such conditions is an indicator of a fault within the body that needs prior correction before worsening. An understanding of the immunological functioning provides the foundation to establishing prevention. A chiropractor to is a medical doctor, and, therefore, the services offered by these professionals match the standards provided in the hospital. However, medical doctors only treat a specific symptom while chiropractor ensures restoring the functioning of the whole body of an individual to normal (Briggs 2). Therefore, in my profession as a chiropractor, I must ensure that the preventive standards are given th
Woolworths Holding Ltd in its efforts of building sustainability, it was faced several challenges. One of the most prevalent challenges was a mixed reaction of its stakeholders where some of them were of the opposing view to the entire issue. The reason for the resistance of some of the stakeholders was that the program would have far reaching effects to the organization and which in the long run will be a challenge for Woolworths to achieve (Luiz et. 10).The above resistance clearly indicated impeding threat from certain quarters of the organization in the implementation process of the program. Moreover, given the fact that Woolworths is a profit making organization and for the fact that there were other competitors in the operating environment, the opposing faction to the sustainability program were using total capitalism while negating touching issues in the business environment. It was an established fact that sustainability program was to consume a lot of capital of which the supporting stakeholders were willing to provide since the program was pertinent to the entire well being of the human race since a lot of long time benefits were ascribed to it. In addition, the opposing faction to the sustainability program turned to be a threat in the entire process since they were viable resisters of change associated with sustainability process. For that matter Woolworths had to spend more capital on training programs to ensure that the program receives wider support in the organization. The training would not have been warranted if the program could have received blanket acknowledgement and acceptance in the organization. Nonetheless, another reason for opposing this sustainability program was the uncertainty associated with the program itself. Some sections of stakeholders were concerned with the profit and competition issues on the market. Therefore, any effort that was seen as a deterrent in amassing huge profit indexes and large market share was seen as unhealthy for business operations. However, for long term strategic management of Woolworths Holding Ltd, it was imperative to have a long term sustainability programme (Luiz et. 13). As a matter of fact, future business operations are heavily depended on the current strategies and plans. Therefore, the four pillars which were concerned with social development, economic growth, environmental responsibility and business transformation were well suited to be implemented through sustainability programme to guarantee survival of the organization in future. Therefore, it is prudent to note that any visionary organization must have plans in place that seems unattainable as long as they are in line with organization’s goals and objectives. Therefore, all efforts must be geared towards their accomplishment. Potential Solutions and Decision Criteria: Approach to Solving the Problem Challenges always present themselves in the organization. Nonetheless, every c
The issues of race and national identity are of great importance for the existence of the modern world. However, in the past these issues were also very significant due to the fact that racial discrimination was much more severe in that time. Because of this, I think that we should study history, and the history of Native Americans as viewed in the Canadian historical literature is one of the aspects to study. Thus, the current paper will compare and analyze the arguments from the book by Bumstead and from the article by Trigger so that to see the actual facts from the history. The thesis of the article by Bruce G. Trigger called “The historians’ Indian: Native Americans in Canadian historical writing from Charlevoix to the present” is that the attitude towards native inhabitants of America changed with the course of time from a good to a worse one. This is explained, according to Trigger (1988) by the fact that at first Great Britain was interested in the Aboriginal people and portrayed them in a positive light, while France was in conflict with them and portrayed them negatively. Furthermore, Britain lost need of the Aboriginals’ help and their
