Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), the worlds’ second-largest supplier of microprocessor chips works with the stated corporate values 1 like;   * Innovation: For providing real solutions for real customer problems that exist in the real world today.   * Vision: The Company says, “Our passion for what we do compels us to keep looking for the next opportunity to succeed”.   * Execution: For ensuring that the company meets the customers’ needs today and tomorrow. AMD invests in state-of-the-art technology research many years in advance of first commercial use. Today we are experiencing the IT revolution in all walks of life. Be it the way travel, eat, sleep, read, write or do other routine activities, the imprint of technological advancements in general and IT, in particular, makes us feel the importance of a company like AMD. Strengths   * Strong Research and Development Wing: AMD has been aggressively pursuing research and developmental activities in such a way that innovation is given precedence over technology change. The company takes pride in the fact that they are not for 2 ‘technology for technology’s sake. Instead, the company prefers to bring out a product that is innovative and more useful for the customers. The mission statement of its Research and Advanced Development (RAD) Laboratories is, ‘to drive, foster, and support innovation in research and advanced development to increase AMD’s growth and profitability. Research and Development are not only required to remain with the times, but it also provides an opportunity to the company to go in for product differentiation.   * Consolidating its hold in the PC and Microprocessor market: AMD is a late entrant in the business as compared to Intel, its main competitor in many markets worldwide, yet it has been able to catch hold of sizeable market space in much less time. AMD ranks second in PC and server microprocessors holding on to a market share of 13 percent of the global microprocessor market (Datamonitor, 2008). With its range of brands like AMD Phenom, AMD Athlon, AMD Opteron, AMD Turion, ATI Radeon, AMD Chipsets, ATI FirePro, ATI TV Wonder the company has effectively diversified into a range of products (AMD, 2008).   * Strategic Partnership with reputed companies: Strategic tie-up with well-known companies helps not only consolidating the market but also helps in portraying a company as an acceptable and well-known brand. AMD has been collaborating with brands like IBM, Microsoft, and HP (Datamonitor, 2008). Such agreements are found helpful even when research and developmental activities are carried out by any of these companies. For marketing and sales, the packaging of an HP product with MS-Vista having AMD quad-core inside helps all the three companies in good measure, provided all three companies prove complementary to each other’s requirements and stronger points. Weaknesses   * Weak Financials: For the last couple of months, many compan
Introduction The global population has been increasing significantly due to increased life expectancy and other factors. Consequently, there is a concern about how food security and proper land use can be achieved. Horticultural organic farming has a higher potential of ensuring that humans are continually supplied with healthy products that have been grown in an environmentally friendly manner. Many people in this industry have over the years garnered significant experience, thus possessing valuable knowledge to pass to aspiring agriculturalists. The objective of this paper is to provide a summary of the information exchanged during the weekly interactive sessions with the guest speakers. Week One Nathan Free, the Managing Director at Wattle Organic Farms (WOF) His discussion gave insightful content on non-chemical horticultural farming and acceptance by supermarket stores (appendix 1). The decision for WOF to engage in natural cultivation was influenced by the need to have an eco-friendly venture. The principles applied include soil management, the use of mild fungicide, and compositing. For instance, wastes from the farm produce are decomposed and then mixed with the soil to boost fertility. Production of high-quality fruits and vegetables, which are availed to consumers at an affordable price, is their primary mission. Tammy Partridge This guest speaker mainly addressed how farmers can benefit from the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia (NASAA). The organization offers many services, including marketing and industry development, education, advocacy, and related policy. Any person who is interested in establishing a modern solution to fiber, meals, and cosmetics that enhance the wellbeing of individuals is free to join. There are four primary principles for this kind of farming: ecology, fairness, health, and care. Another important element that was introduced in the discussion is the relevance of having a supply chain with stakeholders who have similar missions to receive standard certification. John Hodgkinson The expert was a representative from Biodynamic Agriculture Australia, a non-profit organization committed to using biodynamics methods of fostering, safeguarding, and restoring the natural environment. Specifically, the corporation enforces regenerative practices by renewing and replenishing the microorganisms in the soil. The vision is to be able to create a resilient and healthy ecosystem that ensures the end products are nutritious. Notably, organic products often retain their original taste and sweetness, unlike those that contain chemica
It is natural for a company that has experienced domestic success to expand internationally. Expansion into other markets helps in supporting the growth of the company. The company attempts to replicate the domestic success in these markets. However, the business environment in these markets may make it hard for companies to replicate their domestic success (Gaughan, 2007). This is what happened to Wal-Mart, one of the most successful American companies. Expansion into the German and South Korean market did not have the financial success that the company predicted. This forced the company to terminate its operations in these countries. Wal-Mart did not experience considerable financial success in Germany. The company recorded a pretax loss of $1 billion in the last quarter of German’s operations prior to the closure (Troy, 2006). Despite making huge investments in the German operations, Wal-Mart was not reaping good returns on its investment. In fact, investments in the German market were jeopardizing the operations of the entire company. Huge losses from the company siphoned off valuable finances of the company. In addition, continued losses in Germany and other international markets led to a significant decline in the company’s share value. Reduced share value indicated that there was a significant reduction in the attractiveness of the company to investors (Stegmann, 2009). Therefore, it was vital for the company to terminate operations in regions that were making huge losses. This would safeguard the interests of the company and ensure that the losses do not affect the entire operations of the company. Companies use various strategies to venture into international markets. Mergers and joint ventures are some of the common strategies (Neelankavil & Rai, 2009). Wal-Mart used the wrong strategy in venturing into the German market. The company enticed customers using low prices of its products. However, this was not successful. Customers in the German market enjoyed low priced products prior to the entry of Wal-Mart. Therefore, customers could not understand why there was so much fuss about Wal-Mart’s low prices (Troy, 2006). The German business environment did not provide a favorable ground for the success of Wal-Mart. Germany had restrictive policies on store hours and new development. In addition, the demographics of the country were unfavorable to the company. The intense price wars in the German market limited the success of Wal-Mart’s operations in the market (Troy, 2006). Wal-Mart knew that it would face these problems if it ventured into the German marke
Abstract The Nursing philosophy is viewed in the light of four commonly accepted aspects: the person, environment, health, and nursing. The philosophy of nursing assumes nursing as a scientific discipline aimed at promoting the health of individuals. This paper aims at bringing out the concepts of and individual, health environment, health and illness, and nursing in relation to the practice of nursing. It will also bring out the interrelatedness of the concepts in the nursing profession. Introduction Nursing Philosophy defines ‘ Nursing’ as the manner in which a health problem is diagnosed and treated in an individual. It is an art and science dedicated to improving the physical and psychological well-being of individuals. Nursing is also a profession that is dedicated to helping individuals, families, and the community so that they attain maximum health. Nursing as a profession influences a person’s health to a greater extent in that; the goal of nursing is achieving the highest level of health in an individual. Being able to maintain maximum health since having maximum health is considered a right to all people. Bloomington hospital believes that through nursing, nurses should be able to curb the causes of illness and ensure comfort and healing to patients as well as promoting health. If all doesn’t’ work ensuring a dignified death of the patient. Main body Dartmouth -Hitchcock medical center brings out that the aim of nursing is to bring positive change in the life of an individual. Nursing should aim at creating an environment in which both patients and families can heal. Nursing as a scientific discipline aims at providing maximum functional health to an individual, family, and the community. The clients of nursing include the individual, family, and community. Nurses aim at creating the worth of the whole lifespan starting from a child, to the great individual, then to the family, and finally to the whole community. Nurses should provide care to all in an effective and efficient way aimed towards a positive outcome. Quality care is improved by assuring individuals, families, and the community of good health whether they are healthy or ill. Nursing care is required when it is noted that an individual whether well or sick needs attention towards his health, in order to ensure the recovery of the individual or a peaceful and dignified death. Nursing aims at making sure an individual functions normally without any other complications and with abundant strength. Nursing plays a very important role in the community, while working closely with other health care professionals it aims at promoting health to the members of the society. An individual comprises a physical body, social aspect, psychological aspect as well as emotional and spiritual being. All these parts are interrelated to one another, the individual relates with the people around him and is also an influential factor of the environment. Nursing defines health as a process of statin
Abstract O.J. Simpson is a landmark character in the history of legal development. In essence, He is the epitome of the chaos that could arise if money and riches are the currency that can afford to escape justice. Simpson was a rich celebrity due to his professional athletic career, his sports caster skills, and his movie debut. Having lived under the spotlight most of his adult life, he was clearly not the traditional criminal to most people. Politics and bureaucracy surrounded this scenario due to the sensitive racial climate dominating Los Angeles at the time. Consequently, the prosecution had to wage a war both in the courtroom and out of it. If anything, Simpson’s case should be cited as a very persuasive reason to keep the media out of the courtroom. To compound all the controversial data, this paper carries out an in depth review of O.J. Simpson, prior to and after the conclusion of the case. It reviews his upbringing, his relationship with Nichol and the rest of his peers and friends to draw any relevant comparisons, and finally it analyzes the crime and trial. My position is that Simpson was guilty of the double homicide murders and I proceed to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Introduction The effect of all the media excitement was the prejudicial pretrial of this case out of court. In many quarters, Simpson was perceived differently. By the black Americans and the non-racist United States, he was a victim of racism, but to the victims’ families he was the villain who needed to be put away for them to attain a semblance of retribution. For his “dream team” defense group, he was a re-launch into the limelight as the case of the century (Rantala, 1996) for they had after all managed to make names for themselves in the profession and now when they colluded to set O.J. free it was a meeting of some genius minds, at the expense of justice. As for the prosecution, the position is not quite clear and several suggestions through the years seem to point either to overconfidence in securing a conviction given the straightforward nature of the case initially with all the evidence clearly pointing at O.J. as lead and only suspect. This aspect explains why the verdict caused such ripples throughout the United States and the rest of the world. It was unexpected. Finally, the trial also brings in interesting issues such as witness interference and evidence exclusion on technicalities. A close review of the case reveals a lacuna in the law with respect to social status and its effect on the social construction of perspective. O.J. Simpson upbringing O.J was the son of Eunice Simpson. This introduction is conventionally the beginning line of most biographies in the contemporary times, which is an important factor for Eunice, his mother, brought him up. Such texts also mention the fact that his father was gay, w
Introduction Over the years, research has been intensified on the issue of co-occurring disorders. The increased prevalence of these conditions has caused this to define and understand them and integrate a proper treatment. Moreover, distinguishing between these co-occurrences, comorbidity, and dual diagnosis has also accelerated the process to ensure no confusion arises across the three. Therefore, in understanding these illnesses, it is essential first to describe them in-depth and identify examples to assess and relate the issues that arise in treatment. Description Co-occurring disorders can be described both based on the dictionary definition of its conjoined words and clinically. The first definition has it that the condition arises when two or more things simultaneously disturb something’s order (Manukonda, 2018). This definition provides a superficially meaning and often leads to confusion between the term and comorbidity. However, clinically, individuals with the condition are deemed to have one or more illnesses related to drug and substance abuse and one or more mental health issue (Manukonda, 2018). A diagnosis of this is made when at least one disorder from each type is established to exist independent of another. Nonetheless, care is taken to ensure that such a conclusion is not made based on the clustering of symptoms emanating from a single disorder as it amounts to a misdiagnosis. Therefore, doctors engaged in their identification must ensure that they are accurate and convinced that the symptoms possessed by a given patient link to both a substance abuse issue and mental health condition. Examples of Disorders and Substances Abused Major Depression Major depression entails a persistent feeling of lack of interest, sadness, and a sense of despair that may be assumed to be irritability. However, it is essential to differentiate it from regular mood fluctuations, which are common life experiences. According to the World Health Organization, over 264 million individuals live with the condition, with women being the most affected (Martínez-Vispo et al., 2018). It affects people of all ages and is considered a leading disability cause as well as a significant overall global disease burden contributor. Moreover, it affects schools, families, and workplaces functionality, leading to strained relationships and depreciated performance. At its worst, it leads to suicide which alone contributes to 800,000 deaths annually (Martínez-Vispo et al., 2018). Therefore, its co-occurrence with an addictive or substance-related disorder makes it lethal. In most cases, individuals with depression drift to cocaine use and addiction. The drug is preferred because it gives the affected an intense energy burst and fills the brain’s pleasure centers leading to a europhic feeling. Its users are thus able to overshadow the depressive disorder symptoms at least temporarily (Martínez-Vispo et al., 2018). With continued use, the body develops tolerance forcing the individuals to use more and more for effectiveness as they try to enhance their moo
List of tasks A site on the Internet is an essential part of business nowadays. Having a website for one’s business is crucial for efficient promotion and business development. However, building a new website can be a time-consuming task. Being aware of all the steps that should be executed is necessary. Also, the creation of the site is not a quick process. Even if the site is ready soon, it does not mean that it will immediately bring positive results. Here is the list of tasks and steps that should be followed in the process of website building:   * Define the principal purpose of the site. Business websites are created to provide detailed information about a particular company (Theriault par. 4). Also, a business website may be used for conducting online sales. In the following paper, the business website for the pizzeria (restaurant or any other similar business) will be planned. Thus, the primary purpose of the website is to attract clients. The site should contain information about pizzeria, menu, and other available facilities. Business owner may hire a specialist to evaluate the target audience and plan the project;   * Choose the domain name and host. Domain name is a URL that will be known to customers. It should be catchy and related to the type of business. It is advisable to make sure that the domain name is not very long (no more than eight characters) (Fallon par. 7). Checking the availability of domain names at Go Daddy is necessary. The price for domain depends on the ending. Such ending as.com is always more expensive than nontraditional endings. A host makes the site visible on the Internet. External hosts are used for businesses (“Web Hosting” par. 1);   * Web design. The site should reflect the style of business. There are free templates, but a successful business requires something unique;   * Building pages and content. Services of the UX designer are useful for sitemap creation and choosing the most appropriate approach to the website building. Content creation can be a time-consuming task depending on the number of pages and word count. Also, one has to choose a web content management software;   * Good programming is essential for the website;   * Search Engine Optimization and social media marketing aim at enhancing the popularity of the website.

Introduction Conscious sedation is the process that involves administration of medicines into the body which cause the patient to be relaxed and feel sleepy during a medical procedure or surgery, but keeps him conscious. The difference between being conscious and unconscious or subconscious is that in the former state, the patient does not get into a condition as that of one in general anesthesia. General anesthesia causes total unconsciousness. Conscious sedation is a state in which local or topical anesthesia is given, which may cause the patient to sleep, but not be totally unconscious. This state helps the patient be free from anxiety during a medical procedure. Drugs Used by Surgeon to Accomplish Conscious Sedation Every surgeon has his or her own preference for prescribing drugs; similarly, individual preferences are made in the case of administering anesthesia to the patients too. An interview was conducted with Dr. George McQueen, who is currently in the dental department of the V.A. Hospital in Johnson City, TN. We had a telephone conversation regarding which drugs he would use on his patients, to put them in a state of conscious sedation while he carries out his medical procedures. He declared he used Demerol 25-75mg titrate dosages, depending on the patient’s health, and the response attained via intravenous injections. He also used Midazolam, which is a form of benzodiazepine. It also has the trade name of Versed among others, and is used to induce sleep in patients during uncomfortable medical processes. It also causes sleep and is a sedative. He administers 1-5mg dosages to his patients, usually not exceeding 3mg, but again, depending on the condition of the patient, and his or her tolerance. Nitrous oxide is also used by Dr. McQueen during his procedures, in a 30/50 combination. In case of occurrence of nausea during the procedure, he uses phenergan I.V. 12.5-25mg. if nausea occurs after completion of the procedure, he advises a phenergan suppository. Role of the Medicines in Conscious Sedation Demerol is used as a pain reliever. It is one of the narcotic pain relievers that are used to help reduce pain of moderate to high intensity (“Demerol”, 2009). Demerol is also used as a sedative, which is why it helps in conscious sedation. It is similar to morphine, which is used as an anesthetic. Demerol is preferred because it has shown little effects on respiration and circulation after entrance into the body, as compared to morphine. Demerol has been used as an anesthetic because it causes vascular relaxation. If a patient is given too much Demerol, other medication can easily be given to reduce its side effects. It is used especially during nitrous oxide anesthesia. Nitrous oxide is used as an anesthetic because of its advantages. It is non-toxic, and the body will not require detoxification once nitrous oxide has performed its functions (Brot
