Introduction New technologies have an enormous impact on the industry, and scholars are looking for ways in which technology may be utilized to increase the level of efficiency of operations. The impact technology may have on the process of learning is also significant. “Smart Education” is a relatively new term, but it has drawn the attention of many researchers and educators. It can be described as the use of modern technologies to increase the efficiency of learning. In this paper, six tools will be used to analyze the current smart education industries in Dubai, Doha, and Boston. Such an approach has proven to be efficient and would help develop a better understanding of the complications that may occur for firms implementing smart education projects (David, 2011). The differences between these three cities are enormous, and they should be acknowledged. Economic and political situations in the countries are also critical and must not be overlooked because they directly affect the decision-making process of investors. Understanding the various factors that may have an impact on a particular industry is critical, and businesses should pay close attention to these factors if they want to be successful in the smart education sector. Analysis of collected data can help firms determine the strategy that would be the most reasonable in the long term. It is not an easy task to predict all of the challenges that a city may face, and many internal and external factors should be taken into account. Despite these individual differences, smart education has potential around the world and can help facilitate societal development in many areas. Overall, an in-depth analysis of the myriad factors affecting the industry is crucial and can be used to develop a list of recommendations that would help Dubai expand and get ahead of competitors (Kuratko, 2013). Five Forces Dubai In Dubai, the market is well developed, and customers have a wide variety of choices. However, firms are mostly looking at the experiences of other countries, and it would be appropriate for them to invest in the development of unique technologies. The situation is complicated by the fact that expatriates comprise an enormous percentage of the city’s population, so businesses must always focus on and include translations. This effort requires additional resources, and differences between the many cultures coexisting in Dubai should be acknowledged. The introduction of an alternative product is not likely because smart education has been
Introduction Kafka’s The Metamorphosis is justly considered as one of the most highly-esteemed literary pieces of all time. The themes that rose in the story, such as alienation, isolation, ethics, and family, have always attracted people’s attention. In The Metamorphosis , Kafka manages to describe these and other issues from a new perspective. A person that used to be a normal human being suddenly loses his human shape, and the author demonstrates what happens next in such a situation. Instead of compassion and sympathy, the main character receives disgust and estrangement. Instead of support, he gets unfriendly remarks and offenses. Instead of ending his life in the cozy atmosphere of his home and family, he dies lonely, forgotten, and neglected by everyone. Main body The present paper argues that the most prominent theme in the story is that of “the other” which is reflected in a number of situations through a variety of stylistic devices. The thesis of the paper is that the notion of “the other” in The Metamorphosis is represented not so much through the opposition between the character and other characters as though the opposition between his past self and present self. Gregor Samsa’s example will be used to demonstrate the hardships of an individual who cannot be accepted either by himself or others and who eventually give up trying. The first indication of “the otherness” in the story is at the very beginning when Gregor contemplates his work and the experience he has been having there. In this short introduction, the reader finds out that the main character does not have many friends and does not enjoy his life much. This mentioning of Gregor’s “otherness” is not yet what the thesis concerns, but it is the initial step that is useful for understanding the development of the plot. The young man mentions that his work is “strenuous” and demands much communication “with different people,” which leads to the impossibility of becoming friendly with anyone (Kafka 2). This remark is employed to explain Gregor’s present possibility to spend more time with his family, which, unfortunately, does not become true. The character’s understanding of his “otherness” is vividly depicted in the way he sees his room. Describing it as “a proper human room” presupposes that Gregor does not consider himself a “proper human” any longer (Kafka 2). He does not feel comfortable in it, and he considers it too big for his transformed body. What is more, the author mentions that Gregor has never felt quite safe at home. He “congratulated” himself for the “cautious” habit of “locking all doors at night even when he was at home” (Kafka 3). These examples show that Gregor has always been different from others in some way. However, this “otherness
Introduction The media fraternity has and continues to play a significant role in shaping numerous trends in most issues within the society. Media programs and their representations can influence the perceptions of people concerning the nature and functions of different gender in the society (Hermes, 2011). Studies conducted about the contribution of the print and electronic media indicates that the ability of individuals to comprehend their position in the society depends heavily on the influences of media. In this study, the research seeks to explore the significant relationship that exist between media representation of the concept of gender, and the image shaped via the media as the social mirror through which the society views its self (Hermes, 2011). Significance of Study Although numerous studies have studied effects of media on social issues, limited emphasis, confront the role played by media images in shaping the perceptions about different gender (Eisend, 2010). The research findings at the end of the study shall serve to enrich the current literature contributing toward the topic. Additionally, the study offers an insight into the role played by the media in stimulating gender perceptions. More specifically, this research shall be beneficial in contributing toward the development of field of sociological studies. The research serves as a basis for conducting future studies. Research Problem Today, the topic about the role played by the media in influencing individual and general perceptions of people about the opposite genders occupies a greater space within the realms of debate (Eisend, 2010). Media studies reveal that the varied media channels have varying capacities in influencing the level of perceptions about different gender. Although it is
Description of clinical situation and consent I was on my clinical placement in an emergency department at a metropolitan referral hospital. That day, I was allocated as one of the team members responsible for receiving and admitting patients into the wards. As I sat on the admission desk reviewing the patient’s progress report handed in by the team working on the previous 12-hour night shift, a 40-year-old patient A comes in accompanied by her husband. She complained of retrosternal chest pain which had lasted for the last four weeks. Immediately, I took her to room 6 designated for patient assessment and review. I ensured her privacy and explained the whole medical review procedure. I also sought her consent for the procedure and assured her that the information given by her was deemed confidential. Assessment framework and analysis I asked her questions concerning her history and documented it on her medical file. First, I enquired about her biographical data which entails: Name, age, gender, contacts, occupation, marital status, next of kin and occupation. Secondly, I enquired about her chief complaint. She complained of retrosternal chest pain which had lasted for four weeks. She said initially, this pain was not persistent and did not happen so frequently. She said that for the last few days the pain had increased in frequency. She added that the day before it was worse. She described it as an episode of squeezing heavy central pain at the chest. This pain presented at rest and sometimes was accompanied by shortness of breath (Dillon, 2007). That day she had experienced two episodes, one when she was pulling shoes and the other while walking kids to school. She said that before the four weeks she had never experienced chest pain. She added that the pain was increasing in frequency and severity, most of the time self-resolving in five minutes. On the day before admission, she had a pain episode at rest accompanied by sweating and shortness of breath. It lasted for 15 minutes. She confessed that she had never experienced pain like this before. About her past medical history, she was admitted in 2010 suffering from menorrhagia. She had mirena inserted in the womb and transfused with blood for low haemoglobin level (68 g/l). She has been hospitalized before and undergone surgical operation (cesarean section) and tubal ligation. She suffers from chronic illnesses, which are hypothyroidism, and anaemia. Currently, she is on the following drugs; thyroxin and Fero tablets. She has no history of food, drugs, and environmental allergies. About her family history, she is married, a mother to four children. She lives with her husband together with three daughters. Her mother lives next door and she receives good support and help from the family. There is a history of ischemic heart disease on a maternal grandfather who died at 60 years of myocardial infarction, her uncle also died of myocardial infarction at age of 55 years. Currently, her mother and brother
Outline of plan The plan for the company, which faces increases in costs of the major ingredients, is to lobby government for recognition of its products as important for consumers and intervene through fiscal policies like taxation to reduce the cost of ingredients. Meanwhile, the firm will concentrate on product differentiation, which should allow it to have a unique value proposition to customers and increase the inelasticity of the product’s price. As for capital projects, the firm would consider outsourcing non-core responsibilities to reduce cost and achieve agility in response to market changes. A strategy for making products response to price less elastic and rationale The main reason for reducing the price elasticity of a product is the maximization of profits. An increase in price lowers the demand for a product in a perfect economy when the product is a normal good. However, when the product does not behave as a normal good, its price can increase and the demand stays the same or increases too. In essence, the product’s response to price becomes less elastic (Forgang & Einolf, 2007). Based on the above discussion, the company can make the product qualify as a necessity for consumers. When it achieves the objective, people will have to buy the products, even when the prices increase. Typically, the firm will have to reduce the threat of substitute goods by making its product unique in their value proposition. Customers should be able to get a significantly higher utility from the company products than they can obtain from the closest substitute. Consequently, the biggest focus of the firm should be on product differentiation and market research to ensure that its products meet consumer demand better than substitute products and consumers understand the value difference when making purchase choices. Marketing campaigns using product samples would be a favorable strategy for the firm in this endeavor. Major effects of government policy The free market economy is often sufficient for rewarding risk takers with favorable business returns and in the process, ensuring that the demand for goods and services is fulfilled by the available supply. However, there can be loopholes in the system that give suppliers or consumers an unfair advantage, such that they are able to get more than a socially fair return for their investments or the price they pay for goods and services. Government intervention through policy often comes as a way to correct the inability of the market to allocate resources where they are most needed. The government regulates trade. In doing so, it limits the extent to which producers and sellers can manipulate prices. It also regulates trade to limit the distribution of certain goods or services and it can also ban their trade. In regard to low-calories frozen, microwavable food, such a policy can be about increasing taxes on high calorific foods to limit their consumption and ensure that the populace remains healthy (Deng, Falvey, & Blake, 2010). The second major effect of government policy is the equitable distribution of
The problem of race in America is one of the most intractable issues that the country has faced since it was founded. The question of race led to the bloody civil war and subsequent upheavals of the 60s and 70s which happened during the civil rights movement. Even after the abolition of the slavery following the outcome of the civil war and emancipation of the blacks, racial bigotry and discrimination were rife in the South. So-called Jim Crow laws frustrated efforts at racial equality in the South (Sanders, 2003). In the meantime, subjugated races under the rule of Europeans began voicing their desire to be independent. The black in the USA were becoming restless. Looking at the situation in America and the world on matters of race relation, DuBois felt that bloody confrontation was inevitable. Considering the racial struggles in America and elsewhere in the world, the concept of race is an artificial construct designed to perpetuate the domination of some racial groups and the exclusion of the others. Dubois statement has proved to be prophetic. The recent effort to reform healthcare was made to provide health insurance to the poorest Americans, who happened to be people of color. Most of white Americans are privileged in many terms as they earn more and control much of America’s industrial capital base. Their privileged status has raised them to dominant positions at the expense of other racial groups. A number of policies adopted in the last century skewed racial balance in favor of whites. Laws barring interracial marriages did a lot of damage to the US race relations. These laws also applied to people in the process of naturalization as American citizens in cases when they got married to racially ineligible foreigner (Sanders, 2003). This law interfered with people’s procreation choices and their decisions on who they wanted to marry. This in turn reinforced segregation in commerce, housing, and public accommodations. In the US metropolitan areas, different races are congregated around the same areas due to the history of racial segregation in the
Introduction Nurse practitioner entrepreneurship business model:   * Concept Statement.   * Marketing Plan.   * Product Development.   * Finance and Accounting.   * Legal Considerations. In this presentation, the details of an entrepreneurship business model for adult day care services will be discussed. A good business plan plays a crucial role in financing and preparing for various expected tasks. At the same time, it is a reliable road map for individuals to meet their organizational and managerial goals. There are five main elements in the plan, including:  1. The creation of a concept statement with the reasons and benefits of the chosen type of care and a business plan;  2. The organization of a marketing plan with target market penetration and the most effective strategy;  3. Product development with all possible risks;  4. Finance and Accounting implications with resources, funding, and expenses;  5. Legal considerations with a business team and the description of such issues as protocols and certifications. Adult Care Basics   * Sustain people’s health, nutritional, and daily living needs.   * Promote functional independence.   * Improve the quality of life.   * Support families with older adults.   * Provide screening, physical therapies, and medication management.   * Educate and consult. Adult day care aims at sustaining people’s health, nutritional needs, and daily living standards. The main characteristic of this type of care is that it is offered out-of-home to enhance functional independence among adults and older people and improve the quality of life (Gaugler, 2014). The reasons why adults are in need of day care vary, including chronic conditions, traumas, or mental health disorders that limit their physical and thinking abilities. Adult care centers are created to support families with older or disabled adults by providing education, counseling, screening, and physical therapies (“Adult day care,” n.d.). Socialization and medication management are also included in the list of services. Concept Statement: Idea and Reasons Idea: Professional health care to older adults and relief to family members Reasons:   * Companionship for older adults.   * High-quality medical and healthcare management.   * Education and communication.   * Social and moral support. A team of nurse practitioner entrepreneurs suggests developing an adult day care center the idea of which is to promote professional health care to older adults and enhance relief to their family members. The core goal is rather simple: to create an organization for adult people in need to meet their physiological and psychological needs. The reasons for selecting this area are closely connected to the general plan. Today, more than 12 million Americans are in need of long-term day care, and 63% are people under 65 years (Family Caregiver Alliance, 2015). Therefore, it is expected to offer credible help to this group of people and focus on companionship for older adults, management of health care and medication
Critical analysis of the Heathrow Terminal 5 project The provision of Terminal 5 in Heathrow Airport aimed at establishing quality and advanced services and accessible transport channels to the visitors, investors, local population, political and economic agencies (Stretton 2002). This paper will analyze the managerial aspect of the terminal 5 projects from its initial stages of development to its final stages. On the other hand, this paper intends to illustrate the purpose and success of integration in the megaproject. There were numerous challenges that affected the construction of the Terminal 5 project from its initial stages (Caldwell, Roehrich & Davies 2009). Research shows that the expansion proposals of the airport started in the early 80s at the state and government level. In 1995, a public based inquiry commenced facilitating a detailed and long term solution on the Heathrow airport. This indicates that there were numerous hindrances in the early stages of development and construction of the airport (Stretton 2002). The main cause of the initial hiccups resulted from the fact that the airport was originally a base for the British Army and the government wanted to create some space between the running and involvement of the army and the public. The mid-stage of the ‘Terminal 5’ project involved the construction procedures in the development and establishment of the project. Numerous challenges were experienced during the entire process of construction and advanced planning of the terminal 5 projects. The provision of quality and timely delivery of the entire construction process witnessed some managerial hiccups. The differences between the management team and the project employees and differen
Sensbach’s work is a captivating narration about a strong black woman, called Rebecca who manages to overcome life constraints and preserve the moral and religious entity of her spirit. Her long time wandering from the West Indies through Europe with a final destination in Africa symbolizes her eternal fight against slavery and racial pressure. In the book, the author portrays Rebecca as a bright representative of Black Protestantism in the first half of the eighteenth century. By her vigorous struggle, the main heroine deserves to be acknowledged as personality. Rebecca is torn apart by her racial and religious issues; as she “stood where the three main currents of the eighteen-century black Atlantic world flowed together: the dramatic expansion of the slave trade; the Afro-Atlantic freedom struggle; and the rise of black Christianity” (Sensbach 235). The above shows that the novel reflects a clear representation of exceptionalism, as the woman is described as one of the bravest evangelists desperately devoted to her goals and ambitions. Despite her Moravian origins, she managed to save her fidelity for Christianity. The book also reflects the story of the international slave trade concentrated in the Caribbean region. It is also the representation of the fate of the Moravian culture and black inheritance being under the threat of extinction. Therefore, Rebecca is considered as the main hope and example for black people to follow. The book is a kind of decent biography of a former slave who undergoes severe adversities for the sake one hope. Rebecca’s heroic story can be also regarded as a spiritual and religious revolution that influenced the fate of other slaves.
