Sheriff of Cape Breton (1862) The case study under evaluation is entitled “Sheriff of Cape Breton”. It is a typewritten petition concerning the details of the death of the late Peter Ferguson. The petition was written in 1861. It was a representation of the way residents of Cape Breton County demonstrated their indignation about the unfair treatment of Peter Ferguson and his family. In the following paper, the connection between the issues described in document and assumptions of the period will be discussed. Then, the paper will focus on the evaluation of the nature of money. Finally, political and moral implications will be investigated in the last part of the analysis. Before the evaluation of the paper, it is necessary to define the major concerns described in the case study. Thus, the main problem con
Expatriates in Dubai The fast growth in the Economy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has seen the development of numerous employment opportunities. This has led to an increase in the demand for labor, and since the local market cannot satisfy the high demand, the solution is hiring more expatriates. Companies in Dubai have particularly been active in employing expatriates, and this has led to the development of specific requirements focused on the qualities of the expatriates. Most companies have put into consideration the cultural requirements of expatriates, as well as their educational qualifications. One of the challenges faced by expatriates is the cultural shock. This paper looks into the recruitment process of expatriates at Blossom Children Nursery in Dubai. Blossom Children Nursery Blossom Children Nursery is an establishment in Dubai, which offers early childhood learning services to children aged 6 months to 6 years. The institute has developed the capabilities to facilitate quality care to babies by employing professional nurses to take care of the children. Parents enroll their children in the institution and highlight the various services that they would like their children to access. Over the years, the institution has developed a workforce with a high level of diversity, which has helped in attracting customers because parents are assured that their children are welcome regardless of their racial and religious backgrounds. There are many expatriates in the facility, and their inter-professional teams are quite efficient because the institution has a high tolerance for diversity. The espoused values of the institution are particularly inclined toward enhancing the cultural competence of the employees. The institution is among the many entities that have provided employment opportunities for people from every continent in the world because it advertises expatriate jobs through various online avenues. Legal Requirements While hiring expatriates, there are several legal requirements associated with every opportunity in the company. The company applies the legal requirements of Dubai in the recruitment process, and the major document that all expatriates must possess is a work permit. The work permit is provided to expatriates upon the presentation of various documentations. First, they must have a residency visa, which is issued by the government, and the process also requires the employ
Introduction The population’s overall health and equal access to medical care are two critical components of a well-functioning health system. Protecting residents from the financial implications of ill health is also essential. In a nation, the medical care system does not exist as a separate legal entity. In addition to the political climate, the nation’s economy and technology also play a role. As well, it represents the interests and moral values of the culture in which it is produced. The healthcare sector of a developed nation and developing and underdeveloped countries are vastly different (Liu et al., 2017). Specifically, this short discourse compares and contrasts healthcare systems in Malawi, India, and Poland based on six core components. Service Delivery Poland, India, and Malawi have universal healthcare to guarantee that all citizens in the respective countries have access to much-needed health products and services. The countries depend on the support of external bodies to sustain the health programs, with the respective governments offer insurance cover for all individuals to ensure they have access to affordable quality health services (McIntyre et al., 2016). Notably, the success of the health department varies in various countries despite experiencing similar challenges. On the other hand, most developed countries, such as Poland, invest more in health care and try to meet the fundamental health requirements of their populations. On the other hand, developing and underdeveloped nations struggle to provide their citizens with efficacious medical care. Poland is a country in Eastern Europe, between Ukraine and Belarus, located in the middle of Europe. The country enjoys a lot of benefits and privileges as a part of the European Union. In Eastern Europe, many take into account the country’s economy to be among the most advanced. Poland also has an effective universal health system, despite some challenges (Domagała & Klich, 2018). Thus, the country’s Narodwy Fundusz Zdrowia ensures that all citizens within the region’s boundaries have access to the much-needed quality health services and products, with over 90% of the population having insurance cover despite the laws of Polish healthcare. Indian states are primarily responsible for administering the country’s health care system. It is a requirement of the Indian Constitution that each state must provide proper healthcare for its citizens. The Indian government launched the National Rural Health Mission in 2005 to address the lack of healthcare care in rural areas. Although the country’s vast care system, the quality of services varies from the rural and urban regions, undermining the overall health provision. Malawi depends on the primary healthcare structures to guarantee access to quality health services and products for all individuals residing within the Malawi borders (Jerving, 2018). Unfortunately, the unequal distribution of resources undermines the efforts of the understaffed healthcare department to promote quality health (Karhade & Dong, 2021). Also, the free publ
Enrique’s Journey experience brings into view the kind of problems one undergoes in the process of attaining their goals in life (Border Film Project 6). This shows that age is not a factor in achieving one’s dreams and therefore determination wins it all. Life can be filled with several obstacles such as being an immigrant but the need to overcome such problems and excel defines the life and experience of Enrique who has to travel as an immigrant to meet his mother, have a relationship with Maria Isabela (Nazario 230). After, Enrique’s mother Lourdes leaves for the US to look for money so that she can support her child gain education shows the “hardships” that mothers go through to raise their children (Border Film Project 10). Overcoming obstacles in life is the most traumatic aspects of the story of Enrique’s Journey. Enrique’s mother chooses to do low paying jobs that are often ignored by the citizens of America to make a living that would enable her child get an education. Through these low paying jobs, they improve the country’s economy since the kind of jobs the immigrants do cannot be accepted by the Americans. I chose this aspect because Enrique had to overcome several challenges and problems on his way to America so that he can reunite with his mother, the life in America itself is not that promising as many would have thought. Therefore the life of an immigrant remains to be seen as one full of struggles. He had to be beaten and faced many robberies on the way. However, he is thriving to succeed in his journey to reach her mother is the motivational factor in his success to reach the US. Being determined presents some of the themes in this text and, moreover a reflection of the obstacles Enrique undergoes before reuniting with her mother. Nazario states that, “she had to work long hours to earn the money” (235). The writer here refers to the time Lourdes would work that demonstrates the hard work of an immigrant and their determination. In addition, the importance of having hope is the key factor in Enrique’s continued desire to reach the US. Clearly, the contribution of the immigrants such as the likes of Enrique and his mother is great for the economy of the country. Many immigrants have to survive in all means whatever it takes for them to do so. The method of survival reflects their determination to succeed in life through doing the small jobs and in the end improve the economy of the country. Lack of finance by Lourdes is a show that she cannot be able to take care of her children and clearly that they are living in poverty. Nazario states that “Lourdes cannot afford to feed and educate her children, so she leaves for El Norte” (139), this show that the immigrants can be able to do any jobs, work extra hard which is beneficial to a country in terms of economy improvement. “Enrique’s Journey” story make people change how they look at the immigrants and need to offer a helping hand because they too are important to the
According to Ullmann (2008), at least one in every adult aged 65 and above falls frequently. The consequence of this can be early death or lifelong complications. According to Boltz (2012), these falls can also be life threatening. In 2010, about 2.3 million falls were nonfatal and they were treated in various hospital emergency departments. During the same period, more than 600,000 patients were hospitalized. As noted by Boltz (2012), men have a higher chances of falling as compared to women. In order to foster fall prevention, it is advisable for adults to exercise regularly in order to improve leg strength and consequently body balance. Secondly, it is advisable to seek medical advice regarding drugs that cause side effects such as drowsiness or dizziness. Thirdly, adults aged 60 and above should ensure that they undergo frequent eye checkup and update of eyeglasses in order to improve their vision. Fourthly, it is imperative to make homes safer by taking more action to minimize or eliminate hazards that can lead to tripping by installing grab bars in frequently visited locations such as washrooms. Lastly, adults should improve their intake of calcium and vitamin D. Supplements of these minerals are also highly recommended. Treatment of bone related diseases such as osteoporosis will help in mitigating this problem. This consideration will help in lowering hip fracture risks among adults. New research and technology solution related to the topic New research on this topic has been focused on fall prevention. The rationale for this was developed based on the causes of falls among adults, which are well known due to the researches conducted in this field over time. According to Ullmann (2008), U.S. Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF) reported to the congress on the need to address the existing gaps in key areas of knowledge concerning fall preventing means for older people. It urged Congress to take an initiative in order to fill these gaps. The USPSTF proposed to initiate and validate practical techniques that can be employed to identify and deal with risks related to adult falls. Other non-governmental bodies are also working on preventing and curative measures of dealing with this adult problem. There are several new programs such as HUR iBalance Testing Systems which help in improving strength and power of exercise programs for adults. New technologies such as hip replacement and bone replacement are also fostering new ways of dealing with these common adult falls. Walking gear that supports disabled people are also being developed. A good example of this technology is the exoskeleton which assist the body by adding strength to disabled areas like legs or arms. Robotic technologies are also being improved in order to offer humans more power in areas where they are limited. With improvement of robotic related technologies, more research on human enhancing computer aided devices will be conducted in the next few decades.
What role do HRM practices play in a business decision to expand internationally? The existing tendency for the globalization of the world economy offers new challenges to Human Resource Management. Under such conditions, many global corporations have to rethink their strategies for managing people (Harris 1). The problem is emphasized by the difference in the active legislation in different countries. What is normal for one state is inappropriate for another. This problem is particularly acute for companies that carry out their activities in many countries. As Kramar puts it, «understanding HRM in a globalized world requires acknowledging the complexity and the co-existence of institutions with competing approaches” (par.11). In any organization, the primary purpose of the HRM is to identify whether its human resources are used efficiently. With this purpose, HR professionals perform various planning activities, aiming at the development of a definite organizational strategy. The HRM practices undertaken by organizations may vary depending on many macro-level factors, such as cultural differences, local requirements, environmental changes, and social dimensions (Krishnan and Singh 25). For international organizations, HR practices should correspond to both the legislation of the native country and the needs of the host country. What are some of the key environmental variables that you see changes in the business world today? What impact will those changes have on the HR function in the organization? Each company depends upon the environment. Contractors, customers, and governments influence not only a companys external activity but even its internal structure. In the era of globalization, the rapid development of technologies takes place. For human resources management, the appearance of new technologies means new managerial approaches (Moustaghfir 29). For instance, the development of telecommunications and wireless technologies provides remote workplaces, which in turn means less direct contacts between the staff of the company and less supervision. At the same time, technologies provide additional opportunities for staff training. Now it is possible to observe the shift from the industrial age to the information society. “This servitization of physical products” (Griffin 24) creates the urgent demand for highly developed professionals, especially in the sphere of digital technologies. Nevertheless, there is the prevailing opinion that “over the next decade, companies will find the right balance of technology and people” (“The Future of the HR Profession” 11).

Introduction Cervical cancer is a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by the human papillomavirus. Several risk factors predispose women and make them vulnerable to the virus. There is a high risk of this disease in women infected for more than six months according to statistics. It has also been realized that the disease tends to age away in most of the cases studied in the United States. High sexual activity in women is one major factor that has contributed significantly to the spread of this virus. When women have intercourse with infected partners This is common especially in women with multiple sexual partners. This has been noted in history whereby such kinds of women have had repeated cases of infection. Sexual activity also pre-exposes women to other infections other than the human papillomavirus. Douching is another activity that is common in women and which exposes them to infection by the human papillomavirus. Susceptibility to this infection arises in instances whereby douching removes the antiviral substances that are normally present in the vagina. Once such substances have been cleared the virus finds its entry so smooth. Women who do not practice douching are at low risk of contracting the human papillomavirus. The use of devices such as the pessaries in the vagina is yet another risk factor for the Human papillomavirus. The devices are designed in such a way that they can be inserted into the vagina with their ring shape to prevent the vagina and the uterus from risk of collapsing. The risk of chronic inflammation of the vagina in women who use these devices. Main body The virus has also been noted in newborn children and infants. If an infected pregnant mother does not take precautionary measures then she can end up infecting the newborn child. In infants, the disease is associated with warts. (Bruce, 2005). Genetics has a contribution in some cases of cervical cancer. At least one relative in some of the cases had the papillomavirus and therefore there was the genetic inheritance of the genes for the papillomavirus. Inherited genes in most cases have been characterized by a change of immune system in the affected patients. Once the immune system has been compromised, these people become susceptible to infection by the causative virus. The use of oral contraceptives cannot be left behind as one of the factors that make people susceptible to the human papillomavirus. This has been established after several studies in women who have been under the use of oral contraceptives on a long-term basis. This can be attributed to the fact that these women never use other methods such as condoms or diaphragms. There are also chances that the hormones that are associated with the oral contraceptives aid the virus in its entry into cervical cells. Smoking in women has also been noted to contribute to some infections because this habit facilitates the growth of the virus in the cells of the victims. Secondary smoking also increases the growth of tumors associated with cancer. Chemicals are also risk factors fo
Mobile technology plays a significant role in the everyday life of modern society. Nowadays, mobile phones have a variety of functions and are used not only for making calls but also for other purposes. It is a general opinion that in the future, mobile payments might substitute traditional ones or become a part of reality in financial services marketing. There are a lot of promising payment methods, such as e-money, PayPal, and crypto-currencies. Still, mobile payments are distinguished among them as a convenient method for retail purchases. They are usually defined as “payments for goods, services, and bills with a mobile device by taking advantage of wireless and other communication technologies” (Dahlberg et al. 266). It is also claimed that “credit cards are often used in large purchases since high fixed costs are disproportionally expensive for small value transactions” (Grüschow et al. 29). Thus, mobile payments are different from using a mobile phone to access electronic payment services and may be convenient for paying small sums for a ticket on the bus or some grocery in a supermarket. According to the PEST analysis of the uncontrollable factors such as political, economic, technological, and socio-cultural ones, there is a high possibility of implementing mobile payments successfully. The government would not object to this kind of payment because of its convenience and security, although it is important to note that the safety of such payments has not been studied yet. Using mobile payments for retail purchases might be beneficial from the economic point of view because it might raise retail sales. The current level of technology allows implementing such kind of payments easily through special software for smartphones. Moreover, such payment services might be beneficial for society because they allow paying for retail purchases easily without using a pin code. The attempts to implement new payment methods usually have mixed results. Still, it is generally recognized that “if sellers face a low fixed cost to adopting the new payment method, then the new payment method is quickly adopted by all participants” (Arifovic 2). Therefore, investing in mobile payments may help the company to gain additional revenue. According to Porter’s Five Forces analysis, the company will have a competitive position in the market after investing in mobile payments. The technology of such payments is relatively new, and there is no threat that some other new methods will substitute this service in the nearest future. Although, according to some researchers, “social and cultural factors impact the use of mobile payment services as well as comparisons of traditional payment services with mobile payment services lack studies” (Arvidsson 151).

The article “World Energy Hits a Turning Point: Solar That’s Cheaper Than Wind” by Tom Randall published at the end of 2016 on the Bloomberg Technology website reveals the global energy market’s current situation. It has both informational and motivational purposes. First of all, it aims to inform readers about the modern tendencies in energy production. Moreover, it promotes several renewable energy sources like solar. The intended audience is varied, and the article will be of interest to investors or researchers in energy-saving technologies and ordinary people curious about the topic. Indeed, the article presents the world’s new energy outlook empowered by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The language used in the article is appropriate. It is not too sophisticated, and the specialized terminology is not overused. The analyzed text is an article followed by a video regarding the rise of electric cars to mitigate the oil crash effects. The video is rich in images and figures to attract attention and look profound. The material looks like a presentation of the world’s new energy outlook by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The author uses some evidence to support the ideas in the article. First of all, he uses charts to provide visual material; the chart displayed in the article presents changes in solar and wind energy projects between 2010 and the third quarter of 2016. Moreover, a lot of facts are supported by figures, which add an academic tone to the material. Apart from the graphical representations, the author also cites Bloomberg New Energy Finance officials, which strengthens the presented ideas. The applied evidence is effective and contributes to the reader’s understanding of the article’s importance. Although the article is closer to Toulmin’s model than to Aristotle’s, it still uses Aristotle’s persuasive appeals. Logos components are more frequent here than the others. Moreover, the article is appropriately structured, and the core ideas are marked with subheadings. The text is consistent and provides relevant evidence for all given statements. For example, solar energy is getting cheaper within emerging market economies is supported by a chart. Besides, the article has clickable links to the article’s materials that may be unclear to a new reader. The video that follows the article primarily uses the appeals of pathos and ethos. The presentation of the oil crash and its consequences provokes fear for the future energy supply, thus appealing to the viewer’s emotions. In turn, the statistical information presented in charts and pictures comprises a logos component. It also increases the credibility of the article and the reader’s trust of the facts, which is a part of the ethos appeal. In general, the article discusses the rise of solar energy projects. Particular attention is given to the role of renewable and low-cost energy resources for emerging markets. The investment in these projects is huge in countries with both emerging a
