Diagnosis The most appropriate diagnosis for a patient is hepatocellular carcinoma, an advanced liver cancer. The disease develops against the background of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with dynamics at the stage of fibrosis or even progressive cirrhosis. All negative symptoms of the patient’s well-being, nausea, and diarrhea are associated with toxic damage and inflammation of the liver. Suspected hepatitis C may be a symptom of steatohepatitis as a stage in the manifestation of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (Chalasani et al., 2018). Treatment Perhaps the correct solution seems to be liver transplantation, which in the modern world is more and more successful and gaining popularity as a method of treatment (Sapisochin et al., 2017). As a drug treatment, Sorafenib can be offered since its ability to build new liver cells is considered a modern standard of steatohepatitis treatment (Marisi et al., 2018). In combination with transarterial chemoembolization, which stops blood flow to the liver, treatment may be effective. Justification The medical history already demonstrates that the patient has abused drugs in the past. It is possible that a large and regular intake of the flail, metabolized in the liver, led to its disturbances, expressed in symptoms. This drug acts unpredictably on patients with hepatitis, in rare cases, it can even cause encephalopathy (Sørensen et al., 2020). Also, the patient uses prednisone, which dissolves in prednisone only in the liver, increasing the load on the organ. In any case, the excess of medications taken by the patient now and in the past suggests that liver damage could be purely drug-induced. Due to the fact that the patient already has suspected hepatitis C or steatohepatitis, it can be assumed that liver damage is only exacerbated by their medication use, which should be immediately reduced. Only by using Sorafenib with caution and including alternative therapies, in particular a healthy diet, can one expect positive dynamics of recovery.
Key Characteristics that Comprise the ‘Noble Man’ Nietzsche exposes the wanting state of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries’ moral rationale, highlighting the most challenging, yet simple, prescription of embracing the all unaltered natural law on the order of human existence – as the only credible solution which can restore man to self re-discovery and to realizing the initial moral code of expression (Nietzsche, 2004, p. 219). It has hitherto been the concern of our aristocratic society to discover and define the various perspectives of exalting ‘man’ since time began, unknown to us that our society is stratified into varied ‘social status cocoons’ in a drive to define human worth (Nietzsche, 2004, p. 212). These social cocoons which have been handed down from generation to generation- currently still prevailing steadily mar the human society with such moral decadence as oppression, slavery, corruption and the vain embrace of vanity. Societal moral decadence is best evidenced in the uninformed self justification, self righteousness, the ardent desire for self actualization and self realization, the drive for recognition, and the craving for power – even the earnest desire to retain power (Nietzsche, 2004, p. 212) .Hence, the once noble man has deteriorated in personal and societal degradation to the point of subjecting him/herself to weak and beggarly moral codes of justification standards. Aristocracy has bequeathed us with records of the ever enduring and prevailing corruption trends, yet the aristocrat has forsaken his kingly prerogative and yielded to mere functions of loyalty (Nietzsche, 2004, p. 213). This has paved the way for the popular fundamental principles of the world to take root and gain preeminence, which has indoctrinated man to blindly ape the strivings of men so that he/she may not suffer reproach, rejection or exploitation – culminating to the festering and incurable wound of sacrificing one’s own will; self denial. To escape these strong delusions, the noble man critically analysis their basis and resists all the loopholes which suppress man’s autonomy (Nietzsche, 2004, p. 213). The prevailing diversity of moralities can be classified into two distinct forms; the master- morality and the slave morality, on the basis of who formulates societal moralities (Nietzsche, 2004, p. 214). The former originates from the ruling caste, who gladly assumes superiority over the ruled and the latter from the suppressed peasants. Master- morality’s view of the ‘good’ regards the social status (order of rank), is exa
Definition of carbon management accounting and four different ways within which companies can approach carbon management Environmental pollution is one of the major issues that the corporate world faces. Therefore, it is critical for organisations to ensure their operations are sustainable. Carbon is one of the major environmental pollutants. Therefore, companies strive to reduce the carbon footprint in their products. Cap-and-trade system forces companies to reduce their carbon emissions. Carbon management is one of the contemporary management issues of companies. Carbon management is the “management system that identifies greenhouse gas (GHG) emission opportunities from the production processes and implements corrective measures to reduce the GHG emissions” (Wimmer et al, 2010, p. 89). Sequestration, separation, capture, and conversion to useful productions are the major techniques of carbon management. Sequestration involves removal of carbon from flue gases prior to storage for other purposes. Sequestration also involves use of non-carbon energy production processes (Tester et al, 2005, p. 179). These include nuclear, solar, or biomass. A company can convert waste carbon carbon to useful products. These include plastics and construction materials, which the company may sell to earn an income. In addition, a company can separate carbon from fuels prior to combustion. This would create a hydrogen rich fuel, which is easily combustible. Separation and capture lead to a significant reduction in the amount of carbon in the fuel and waste of the company. The company may use captured carbon in other production cycles within the manufacturing process of the company. This would lead to a significant reduction in the amount of carbon that the company releases (Eliasson, Riemer & Wokaun, 1999, p. 457). In future, technological advancements would make it cheaper for companies to manage their carbon emissions. Currently, conversion of carbon to useful products is the most economically viable carbon management technique. This is because sale of the products offsets the cost of carbon management (Wang, Pereira & Hung, 2004, p. 101). Characteristics of both monetary carbon accounting and physical carbon accounting: past oriented routinely generated short term and long term information; and future oriented routinely generated short term and long term information There are two major methods of quantifying ecological debt of a company’s activities. These are monetary carbon accounting and physical carbon accounting. Physical carbon accounting is a measure of the ecological damage through pollution, depletion, or degradation. On the other hand, monetary carbon accounting is a monetary quantification of the effects of a company’s activities (Paredis, Goeminne & Vanhove, 2009, p. 71). Monetary and physical carbon accounting information may be past oriented or future oriented. In addition, the focus of the information may be short term or long term. Cost accounting is the ma
Most people argue that there are no secrets to success. However, successful managers assert that there are several considerations which should be taken into account while implementing a development strategy. Eddy Cue, the vice president of Apple, began working from a strategic base around which he has turned round the company. This paper looks at how one can implement a strategic development idea in a creative way like Eddy Cue did hence the phrase a ‘creative thinker’. It is important to gauge an entrepreneur’s source of inspiration. Every project begins with an idea. An idea may be born out of the needs of customers or out of corporate studies. An idea forms the platform and the path on which the thinker follows. Upon coming up with the idea, the right and easily affordable tools should be used to implement the idea. In addition, critical ideas should be sifted out to establish their effectiveness. It is also crucial to involve the community and top innovators to evaluate and comment about your project. With time, shift from ad- hoc decisions to clearly drawn procedures that will help establish the true rating of the product ideas (Stamm, 2008, p.367- 374). These are the practical things that Eddy C
Executive Summary The fast food industry in Oman is undergoing remarkable revolution, which has emanated from change in consumer behaviour. The emergence of the information age has increased the level of information amongst consumers. Subsequently, consumers are making informed choices in their purchase decision-making process. One of the industries that have been affected by these changes relates to the food industry. Consumers are increasingly inclining towards the consumption of healthy food products. Subsequently, there is a high market potential for investors in the food industry. In order to tap this market potential, Shake Burgers intends to enter the Oman fast food industry. The firm will specialise in offering freshly produced, healthy, and unique burgers. The burgers will be produced using the Omani way in order to differentiate them from the competitors’ products. Shake Burgers will target consumers aged between 15 to 40 years due to the high rate at which people in that bracket are consuming fast foods. The firm will be strategically located at Muscat, Oman. Business opportunity Market gap The fast food sector has experienced remarkable growth over the past few decades. A study conducted by Food & Hospitality Oman (2014) shows that the sector is ranked amongst the fastest emerging markets for fast foods in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. Another study conducted by Alpen Capital (2011) shows that Oman food sector accounted for 7.1% of the total food consumed in the GCC region, which ranked the country third (Hardy 2014). The industry’s growth has been stimulated by a number of factors, which include an increase in the consumers’ purchasing power, especially amongst the young generation, and a rise in the level of inbound tourism. It is estimated that the number of tourists’ arrivals in Oman will increase by 38.7% by the end of 2017, which is estimated to reach1.45 million tourists. Subsequently, the volume of tourist spending will increase to US$2.96 billion, which indicates the market potential for growth ( Alpen Capital 2011). However, the local and multinational industry players such as Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonalds have mainly focused on providing customers with fast food products of western taste. Some of the fast food firms in the market such as McDonalds have inclined towards the provision of carbohydrate and vitamin-rich burgers as opposed to protein-rich burgers. Additionally, the fast foods are made from highly processed and refined sugars ( Skills You Need 2014). Subsequently, the market has largely ignored the provision of fast food products with an Omani taste, which represents a significant market gap. Product offering Shake Burgers will specialise in the production of protein rich burgers. The burgers will be specially produced from beef, chicken, and camel meat in order to align with the growth in preference for protein-rich products (Morelli 2002). Furthermore, the burgers will also be comprised of organic vegetables. The firm will ensure that the burgers take into account the Western and Omani

Introduction Workplace values are individualistic ideas that are essential to employees. They are not limited to specific situations, and they have a positive relation to the satisfaction of jobs, careers as well as the lives of employees. A value is both a mode of behavior and the outcome of such behavior. Most individuals realize their personal values, in instances of discomfort and in extreme cases when in positions, contravene their values. Values can be classified into the terminal and instrumental values. Terminal values relate to the goals that are desired whereas instrumental values refer to the means of achieving the desired goals. Analysis Each workplace has its desired goals to be achieved. These goals are shaped by values that are either personal or organizational. These values include hard work, conformity, obedience, honesty, self- direction, and equality among others. Individuals understand the reality of their workplace values based on what is practiced rather than what is written. As such, if an organization contravenes its written values, employees will lose trust in the organization’s likelihood to protect their interests. This may result in the resignation of employees, which may impair the achievement of the organization’s goals. One’s values are difficult to change since individuals are compelled to behave in a certain manner upon feeling that their values are impacted. If an organization changes its values such that they mismatch those of their employees, there is a likelihood that employees will feel betrayed and withdraw. On the other hand, values are an element of a positive work ethic. When values and beliefs are in agreement, employees feel contented and become abundantly productive. The agreement between values and beliefs creates a sense of belonging and comfort for individuals. This culminates in a positive attitude, in the workplace. The result is the promotion of work ethic. Values act as standards that guide individuals’ activities and behavior. In regard to this, employees may review their behavior in relation to competency. This ensures that the work done is of high quality. A value system enables one to make the right choices, resolve conflicts, and make sound decisions. In addition, values are conceptual tools that are employed in maintaining and enhancing self-esteem. This is achieved by the motivational factor of values that assist individuals in adjusting to society, as well as providing defense against threats to one’s ego. The individual is also able to test one’s competency against reality during self- actualization. Values in some instances focus on personal knowledge, competence, and accomplishments. Individuals seek to comprehend their context, consistency in their perceptions and beliefs. This results in the values being highly rated causing individuals to strive towards self-actualization. Personal value
Curriculum development entails an organized preparation of activities that guide the learning process of learners. It creates an inclusive curriculum with instructions and methods of content delivery to students. Since curriculum development is a process, it remains a continuous activity that relates to the environment where it takes place. Curriculum development, therefore, remains a key educational process that involves amalgamation of diverse processes that aim at achieving certain objectives in a school setup (Brady & Kennedy, 2010). It covers the whole process of curriculum design and implementation, which starts from planning and ends at evaluation and revision. Curriculum developers make a curriculum into official documents in order to act as a guide for teachers during the delivery process. A curriculum is more than a list of topics; it is a broad policy statement or sum of all learning experiences and opportunities that institutions and teachers follow. A curriculum carries the hopes of a society that educational institutions are supposed to meet. In developing a national curriculum, it is essential to consider the nature of the environment in which implementation of the curriculum is to take place (Brady & Kennedy, 2010). Therefore, curriculum developers like Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) uses different models in order to align the requirements of the curriculum with the needs of all states and territories. Notably, prior understanding of the environment will enable the entire process of curriculum development and implementation proceeds efficiently and effectively. In addition, a teacher will be able to use teaching approaches that consider individual differences of all learners. The global nature of the world makes it necessary for the development of a curriculum that includes recent Information and Communication Technologies (ACARA, 2012). Globalization has offered an essential reason on the need to have a curriculum that does not only impart knowledge and skills but also offers global competence to learners. In Australia, ACARA is the body entitled with curriculum development through educational researches. This body follows the goals of the Melbourne Declaration in designing an all-round curriculum (MCEETYA, 2008). The Declaration puts forward knowledge and skills acquisition, equity and excellence among successful learners. This initiative requires a deep commitment that makes it possible for the process to reach completion. ACARA has to carry out detailed researches in all the states and territories in Australia in order to acquire the needs of all the local communities. This enables them to design a curriculum that addresses the expectations of Australian citizens irrespective of location. During the implementation process, there are logistics that require immediate intervention; therefore, a committed and flexible team will make timely adjustments on the designed curriculum (Drake, 2007). There are multitudes of factors that influen
Introduction to behaviorism In the 60s, the disciplines of psychology and philosophy witnessed the development of behaviorism concepts. Although technically disapproved by some scholars, this school of thought was supported by other scholars like Gilbert Ryle, John B. Watson, Skinner and others. Behaviorists laid emphasis on the outward and physical aspects of thought. To them, inward experiential was a phenomenon that would be dismissed all through. Within this school of thought were several subsets that were developed in order to make up for the weaknesses that were exhibited in the prior versions. Among these subsets is logical behaviorism (Hauser, par.1). Concepts of logical behaviorism Logical behaviorism as a subset of the school of thought argues that talks concerning the ‘mental’ is just but the explanation of the physical behavior of a person or animal in question. This is to say that the mental states of a body can only be explained through the use of physical characteristics that the body exhibits. This school of thought is characterized by its insistence on the physicality of all the phenomena. They argue that every event, object and internal and external processes are practically physical. Just like the identity and functionalism theories, the theory of l
Spinoza was concerned with the common goal of promoting the well-being of all individuals through his philosophy, just like any other philosopher during or before his time. He believed that his philosophy was a guiding tool for human beings toward the realization of a common good. His ultimate goal in his philosophy was to identify the common good, which would eventually lead to human satisfaction. He believed that perfection was a concept that could be attained by human beings. Spinoza walked in the shoes of the ancient philosophers by his suggestion of achieving a common good for human beings. His line of philosophy is distinguishable from that of Plato or Aristotle. He was highly concerned with the lives of Jewish and Christian believers, dating from earlier traditions. Spinoza coupled his ideology with the ultimate good that gives the modern political philosophy essence and a point of reference. In following the philosophies of Jewish and Christian traditions, he espoused salvation, love, glory, and blessedness. The preceding discussion forms a cardinal part of his argument on freedom. The main to understanding his philosophy is by understanding how the conception of the highest good combines the ancient, medieval and modern eras in a striking harmony. This combination opens up his work, making it of radical significance in understanding key religious concepts today. His promotion of freedom has not gone unchallenged since conservative religious and political forces of his time found it too liberal to be allowed in any society. The wrath of the conservative religious groups of the time has been witnessed in opposing his liberal ideas (de Spinoza para. 27). This paper will apply Spinoza’s discussion of religion and politics in the “Theological-Political Treatise” to gay marriage. Spinoza uses the three strains to ensure that his philosophy is a reflection of the Christian, Jewish and liberal ideologies. Spinoza attempts to answer the question of what is good and good to all human beings and can be achieved. The foregoing question has been under scrutiny by different philosophers in Europe and ancient Greece. There are no points of agreement on the right answer to that question. Philosophers have consistently criticized
