Introduction Utilization of health promotion has gained extensive use in the field of public health. According to the World Health organization (1986), health promotion refers to the holistic process that encompasses strengthening the individuals’ capabilities of controlling and improving their health. Health promotion is aimed at bettering the individual social, economic and environmental conditions in a bid to minimize the effects on the overall health of the individual and the society. It enables individuals and communities to have increased role in control of the predisposing factors thus securing improvements in their overall health. Health promotion is enhanced by several strategies and is dependent on the condition, desired action and intended participants. The essay will look into the health promotion strategies implemented based upon predictive factors and individual cultural needs while at the sane time describe the cultural factors that impact on individual health. Strategies based on predictive factors Health promotion strategies have provided the necessary tools for effective disease prevention in the public health field. Among the popular strategies include capacity building, community development, economic, regulatory and policy initiatives, health information, health education, counselling and skills development, social marketing, and screening combined with individual risk assessment (Australian Capital Territory Department of Health, 2009, para. 1-10). The strategies are designed to impact five core areas that entail health public policy, supportive environment, community action, personal skills development, and the reorientation of health services. Based upon predictive factors of a disease, several strategies can be employed in the affected population. Predictive factors are the things that are likely to increase the risk of the development of a health illness in an individual or a given population. Capacity building targeting the infected and affected population helps in instilling leadership and the development of the workforce (Australian Capital Territory Department of Health, 2009, para. 1). Leadership is pivotal in providing direction to the affected individuals. The individuals and the community gain sustainable skills in the management of the determinants of health. Several stakeholders with diversified resources are brought on board thus enabling proper and effective resource allocation. Capacity building on the overall management of the predictive factors helps in the prevention of the occurrence of the disease. The effectiveness of this strategy is based on the proper identification, prevention, and control of the predictive factors. Community development is another importan
Introduction Marketing mix models are defined by the 4Ps Marketing decision variables. The marketing mix models are concerned with either:  1. The individual effect of a marketing decision variable and  2. The levels of the marketing mix variables as their optimal effect on the target variable or profitability New product development can take the form of any of these forms i.e. changes to augmented services/product, core product revision, lines extensions, new products lines, repositioning, and completely new products. Most industry leaders see new product development as a proactive process where resources are allocated to identify market changes and seize upon new products development before they occur. In contrast to a reactive strategy in which nothing is done until problems occur or the competitor introduces an innovation. My product is out of a reactive strategy as many people now have developed unique diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. Due to these ailments that are more prevalent as people are enjoying innovative products that include, developed to make work easier, relaxing, and sweat-free. The Brand Drink while moving (DWM) is ready to drink product that is rich in nutrients and easily absorbed by the body. This refreshing and nutritious product is developed out of fruits. The DWM shall have a high calorie and less sugar content that could be best suited for diabetic persons and those lovers of fluids who need less sugar taste in their drinks. Target market The product DWM is mainly meant for those who enjoy taking fluids both sufferers of diabetes and preventing it. The sportspersons like taking water as they play but this fruit-rich drink DWM shall substitute water and other enough boosting drink for players and active sportsmen. However, since they will be required to take water, it shall complement and the only substitute for diabetes. The social value of new products development could be viewed from the perspective of what the new products do in terms of brand positioning, a channel of distribution, quality, and preference by consumers, and how the societal values are held concerning products/services. According to Van Kleef, innovativeness is unlikely without skilled leaders to guide the teams which develop new products and technologies. The specific practices of effective team leaders are not ignored as the methods adapted, roles, and functions employed by leaders of operating and innovating teams f new products development. Operating and innovating teams are parts of the daily activities of the firms that are involved with current markets and develop products similar to current products offered. New product development has other related issues that include reducing the market share of competitors which could result in price wars and unhealthy competition. Other
Introduction Conflicts in the workplace settings have become inevitable, and they have heavily arise between the co-workers, and between the supervisors and the subordinates (Bingham, 2004). Conflicts can also occur among the employees themselves, and between the employees and external stakeholders, which include the customers, suppliers, as well as the regulatory agencies (Bingham, 2004). Managing conflicts at the workplace has become a key management competency, and it is advisable that all the small business owners make sure that they study and acquire effective managements skills in conflict management in order to maintain a positive workplace environment (Bingham, 2004). Reviewing conflicts, as well as resolving them at the workplace would definitely help one in gaining ideas on what to expect whenever conflicts arise at their workplaces. In most scenarios, conflicts at the workplace have
Mathematical sciences are universal and multifactorial, and the application of their symbolic formulations and laws turns out to be extremely broad for human activity. Among mathematical laws, compound interest is one of the most interesting in terms of applicability. Albert Einstein once called the idea of compound interest one of humanity’s most ingenious inventions, and this is not surprising if we critically understand its essence (Eckel, 2021). Specifically, compound interest allows for the superimposition of added value on the principal, after which the total amount increases. Unlike simple interest, compound interest allows for exponential increases in the amount, whether in finance, deposits, investments, or populations. The general formula for the compound interest shown above clearly shows the reason for exponential growth. In this case, P stands for principal, that is, the initial deposit, r is the key interest rate, n is the number of times the deposit is compounded during the year, and n is the number of years the deposit is held. All of this together affects the dependent variable A, which is actually a function of time. From the formula, you can see that several problems can be associated with compound interest at once: calculating A, finding the necessary time t, or calculating the necessary amount P for the initial investment. I am convinced that the problem of compound interest will become relevant to me in the near future because it is a really critically useful tool. One of the problems I will have to solve using compound interest is investing in a bank deposit. Using the compound interest formula, I will be able to exponentially increase the size of my deposit with little or no effort. Specifically, if the interest on a bank deposit — where the bank pays the customer for keeping it with them — is continuously reinvested in the main body of the deposit, this allows me to superimpose interest on the interest. In this case, I would be at a decisive advantage over superficial interest deposits. However, it would be essential for me to do an itemized calculation of how profitable it would be to invest additional money in this deposit: for example, 10% of my stipend or salary each year. While it seems like it would increase profitability, it will be vital for me to see how relevant it is. Meanwhile, I plan to take out a mortgage to buy real estate in the future, in which case compound interest may work against me. Specifically, if I do not pay back some of the money — minimum monthly payment — the bank will impose interest on the delinquency, which extends the body of the mortgage. As a financially literate person, I have to calculate my ability to cover at least the minimum payment so that compound interest does not work against me. Credit cards, which many people use, work roughly the same
Introduction Despite a significant progress, which the United Arab Emirates have made over the past few years in terms of technology (Panambunan-Ferse & Breiter 2013), the state authorities seem to have been defaulting on the development of tools for disposing of e-waste. According to the recent news report, the situation regarding e-waste in the UAE has become truly drastic, the instances of its improper disposal growing out of proportions: A UN-sponsored project shows the average resident generates 17.2 kilograms of e-waste, which holds toxins such as arsenic, cadmium and mercury. Kuwait residents create the same amount, while Bahrain is next on the list with 16.4 kg. Chemicals from circuit boards or other parts can seep into the soil and find their way into aquifers, also polluting food for which the water is used to grow. (Wasmi 2015, par. 2–3) The reasons behind the choice of the problem are quite obvious; living in the digital era and using information technology in all domains of their lives, people are facing the need to dispose of the corresponding e-waste on a regular basis, yet they still have little to no idea of how to do it properly. When released into the environment, e-waste affects the latter significantly by trickling into groundwater. The latter, in its turn, affects the soil and the plants, which grow in the vicinity (Pradhan, Kumar, & Sudhir 2014). The plants, in their turn, have a negative effect on animals, particularly, on cattle, when being consumed; seeing that cattle and plants are the basic sources for food production on a global level, the scope of the problem, as well as its effects, is truly enormous. Soil and Groundwater Contamination as a Threat to Environment There is no need to stress that the effects of soil and groundwater contamination on the health rates in the community and the environment, in general, including the survival of species and the state of the habitat, are dire. The impact on the environment in general and on people’s health, in particular, as well as the staying power of the problem, should be listed among the key criteria, which have been used to determine the problem as topical and urgent. According to the existing studies, the effects of e-waste on groundwater are truly drastic. First and foremost, the fact that improper e-waste disposal leads to the aggravation of the current health risks (Grant 2015) deserves to be mentioned. Moreover, e-waste triggers a rise in the risks for developing lead poisoning several times, recent researches show (Heart & Agamuthu 2012). In addition, the release of chemicals into the groundwater changes the very habitat. As a result, numerous species are subjected to dying out, as they are incapable of accommodating in the new environment, which lacks the elements that the species in question may need for their survival. Lack of Care and Space When it comes
Casein and whey are two forms of proteins present in milk that determine the design of food formulas and the processing of dairy products to meet the diverse needs of consumers. Depending on their sources, casein and whey proteins vary in their concentrations in cow, human, and goat milk. The research question of the experiment is what is the concentration of lysine in whole and whey portions of goat milk? Results The calculated concentrations of BSA standards have an increasing trend from 0 µM to 80 µM in each of the 2500 reaction contents in tubes 1-5 and samples used in the measurement of absorbance. The standard line (Figure 1) depicts a linear relationship between the absorbance of primary amine groups in proteins at 570 nm and the concentration of BSA standards. Figure 1. The standard curve showing absorbance at 570 nm plotted against BSA standards from 0-80 µM with a linear relationship as indicated by the line of best fit. As the linear equation derived from the standard line, absorbance = 0.0076 (Concentration) – 0.0052. In this view, this linear equation suggests that a rise in the concentration of BSA standard by a microliter causes the absorbance to increase by 0.0076 units. Based on the formula [concentration = (absorbance/ 0.0076) – 0.0052], concentrations of samples revealed that a fifty-fold dilution of whey has 62.11 µM, while a hundred-fold dilution of milk has 66.19 µM (Table 1).

Moreover, the findings show that lysine in whey constitutes 46.92% of the proteins in goat’s milk. Table 2.

The hypothesis of the study was the exploration of the impact of students’ financial circumstances on their health. Ethical considerations were observed during the research as it applied correlational design (Kimmel, 2007). A group of 89 British students and 98 Finnish students filled in a survey that evaluated their financial anxieties, emotional and bodily health, and sense of control (Jessop, Herberts & Solomon, 2005). The results showed that British students had better levels of apprehension than Finnish students, but they also had worse emotional and physical health. The strength of the study is that the hypothesis where greater financial concern generally meant poorer health was supported. The limitation of this study is the absence of evidence that students’ smoking or drinking behavior intervened in the relationship between financial concern and health. It is implicated that students’ financial circumstances might have serious consequences for their health and the latest changes in government finance policies for students could have a bad influence on student health (Turner & Hurley, 2002). Cognitive Dissonance An example of cognitive dissonance in my life is procrastination. The more
Bill Gates originally got to work on a site called Marvel. It was later called Microsoft. The first Microsoft Internet site was launched in 1993. John Martin who was the Group Manager of Microsoft’s Corporate Network Systems group acquired the necessary permission or charter to post the Microsoft Support Resources to a public FTP server.“gowinnt.microsoft.com” was the first name of the site (Kramer, Microsoft). Later it became ftp.microsoft.com. 1994 saw the expansion of the site to include gopher and Web servers. Mark Ingalls who tried to enter the site found that it had already been used by J.Allard who was a Microsoft developer trying out his new TCP/IP. The server was then handed over to the product support group. The European Microsoft Windows Academic Consortium (EMWAC) WWW server software was used to deliver content on Windows NT 3.1. (Kramer, Microsoft). Ingalls and his team used an automated rich text-to-Html process and spent plenty of time to convince the rest of the company about the Web site’s benefits. They found the usefulness of the Web to search for matter with ease. Bill Gates commented so in 1995. Before Microsoft launched its site, most of the matter on the web was disorganized clumps of matter. Originally, updating the site was done at great intervals. Soon this became a daily affair within a year. Then the Internet Explorer 3.0 was launched. Windows 95 was a turning point and it came with the third Web server (Kramer, Microsoft). Microsoft planned to buy a minority stake in Uunet Tec
It could be hardly doubted that the contemporary world is immensely influenced by the globalization process. In particular, the sphere of healthcare is also vastly impacted by the confronting cultural norms. Accordingly, it led to the invention of the cultural competency, which could be described as the ongoing dynamic process of learning and engaging in cultural differences (Calzada & Suarez-Balcazar, 2014). Based on the hypothetical situation provided by Rodriguez, DeCamp, Richardson, Sugarman, & Barry (2016), this paper aims to discuss the lessons that could be learned from this situation, aspects that could be applied in practice, and the questions for further consideration. The first lesson that is learned from Jane’s situation is that the medical trainees practicing abroad should understand the culture of the country in which they are training. It includes the awareness of both trainee’s own and local cultural norms as well as the skills to navigate the situations in which those standards are confronted (Rinker, Inoue, & Vargas-Jackson, 2017). Secondly, the best way to provide such navigation is to ask for assistance from the host institution’s advisors and local colleagues. Mutual collaboration between trainees and local staff can significantly increase the development of the cultural competency. Thirdly, even when trainees are adequately prepared by sending and host institutions in aspects of language, history, and cultural norms, it could not cover the variety of possible situations. Therefore, the third lesson is that cultural competency is acquired through the ongoing dialog which is paired with trainees’ learning flexibility. Further, it is critical to dwell upon the aspects of the situation that could be applied in practice. Firstly, Jane’s example shows that the process of professional training experience and the personal time outside the host institution could not be separated. For Jane (and every trainee in her position) it might be easier to make a clear distinction between those two processes. However, it is not possible since the behavior outside the formal training affects the trainees’ team, their sending institution or sponsors, and the local community as a whole. Therefore, medical students training abroad should always consider their personal time as another aspect of developing their cultural competency. Secondly, when trainees face the confrontation of cultural norms, they should not interpret those situations on their own. In such cases, the feedback from someone who is familiar with both cultures is essential to solving the problems adequately. However, the situation described by Rodriguez et al. (2016) provides some questions for further consideration and elaboration. As it was mentioned in the study, some host cultural norms should be accepted to train efficiently; others might be discussed on the grounds of mutual respect, and, in some situations, the discussion sho
Introduction From the article of how to start a small business, we can formulate a question of how a small business is started and identify the steps that are followed in starting a new business until it becomes effective and operating and it expands to become a large business. The reason why I decided to research on the process followed to start a small business is because there has been a sudden shift from large firms or businesses to small firms in the economy. This paper therefore tries to explain the characteristics or features of a small business and the way it is started until it becomes a big business or a large firm. Small business has different definitions in different countries. It can however be generally defined as a business which is owned privately and which has a small number of operations, employees and even production output. Berman postulates that the United States industries defines small as having employees who are less than five hundred while other industries define small as having employees less than fifty or even fifteen. (Berman, 1997 P. 76)Entrepreneurship on the other hand is the combination of factors of production to come up with finished products. Small business has certain distinct features which add to its popularity in the industry. The features of small business apply to almost all of them with very limited exception and therefore they are documented facts. The first feature of small business is that it is small in size. It has very few employees and the operations are also few. The other feature of small business is that it is unincorporated. Unincorporated business is that which has no legal separation from its owners. Berman states that a small scale supermarket is a good example of a small business because it has f
