The modern global market is associated with the use of sophisticated supply chain management that has to address numerous security issues. The US government has come up with several plans to address the challenges and ensure that no lasting disruptions will occur (Mangan & Lalwani, 2016). The strategic plan under the title “Strategy to enhance international supply chain security” issued in 2007 was aimed at enhancing international supply change security. The plan addresses the primary challenges the modern international trade is facing including terrorism, environmental concerns, as well as such aspects as technological advances, standardization, and so on. This paper provides a brief analysis of five chapters of the plan such as Purpose, Guiding Principles, Considerations, Methodology, and Training Requirements. The Purpose section reveals the purpose of the plan and the overall focus of the Department of Homeland Security in this area. Importantly, the goals of this strategy are the enhancement of the international supply chain security, facilitation of global commerce, the provision of trade resumption after an incident disrupting a supply chain (Department of Homeland Security, 2007). These goals are consistent with practitioners’ expectations and behaviors as the stakeholders tend to become more active in a secure environment and if they know that there is a sound plan that will help them recover soon if an accident occurs (Wisner, Tan, & Leong, 2016). The strategic objectives described are likely to help in the implementation of the plan. These objectives involve the development of trusting relationships between stakeholders, the provision of benefits for the actors that enhance their own supply chains security, the development of standards, proper information management and data security, the introduction of detection systems, and the development and use of efficient communication channels among stakeholders (Department of Homeland Security, 2007). The agency also aims at the development and use of technological advances, the development of patterns used to address any supply chain disruption, and the development of effective communication with international actors in the sphere of detection of illicit materials. The agency addresses the major areas that can ensure the enhancement of supply chain security. The focus on communication contributes to the effectiveness of the plan as this aspect is a core element of supply chain security (Mangan & Lalwani, 2016). It is also essential to consider Guiding Principles of the plan as they define the frameworks and approaches
Youth Issues As I venture into the career of a Child and Youth Care Counselor, I believe that three concepts will prove vital in my career. These concepts relate to different fields within my career yet they are similar to each other because they affect families. The first concept is “Coping Strategies of Immigrant and Refugee Parents.” This is a concept that researchers have extensively explored whilst interacting with refugee families and immigrants. The concept derives its foundation from the article “Immigrant and refugee families” by Baxter J. and Shimoni. Furthermore, “The Crazy Odor: Working with Multiple Patterns of Resistance” forms the second fundamental concept in my career. It is derived from the article “Engaging Families with Chronic and Severe Problems.” The final concept that will advance my career is, “All the levels of family need.” This concept is present in the article “Levels of Family Need” by Allie C. Kilpatrick. Coping Strategies of Immigrant and Refugee Parents The concept named above offers significant levels of knowledge when it comes to dealing with children and youth from refugees and immigrants families. As many would think, immigrants do not lead a successful life once they enter Canada. However, I have come to understand from the suppositions in the article that such a statement is not true. After successfully becoming citizens within Canada, they acclimatize and start succeeding in their endeavors. The article indicates that providing immigrant families and refugees with much-needed support would be helpful when they are settling. Being a child and youth care counselor, I am acquainted with the risks these families undergo and the various channels followed by the parents while bringing their children up. In turn, I will not assume that the parents lack appropriate means of child rearing since the method they choose depends on factors such as the situation and circumstances present. In the future, when I am a child and youth care counselor, the concept of “Coping Strategies of Immigrant and Refugee Parents” will prove to be quite handy in my work. This is because I plan to be a counselor who intermingles with children together with the youth from refugee families and immigrants. The concept has taught me a lot ranging from immigrants and refugees acclimatizing with the new-fangled environment to how different families of refugees and immigrants can bring their children up. The concept has also enabled me to adopt a mindset that these families need not be judged as being deficient in the way they bring up their children. In addition, the concept has also enabled me to understand what these families need in order to settle. All this information is vital as I offer counseling services to these families. As a way of educating parents about this concept, especially for those unfamiliar with the theory, I plan to use various strategies. One strategy is explaining the theoretical part of the concept to them since I will encourage them that with time they will settle and adapt to the new environment. I will also
Summary Krantz described a number of mathematical discoveries which characterize mathematical uniqueness from all other disciplines, whereby he indicated that mathematics discipline is distinguished from all others by its characteristic feature of proof. Krantz incorporates the idea of critical thinking in mathematics as a major factor that helps mathematicians to prove their work. He documents several works exemplifying the idea of proof and its benefits in mathematics including Euclid, Eudoxus, Pythagoras work among others. He discussed other works which were shown to be against proof in the mathematic study. Further, he endeavored to show how such proof in mathematics has been integrated and advanced in other disciplines in recent centuries. In his conclusion after the discussion of proof under different perspectives, he suggests that proof in mathematics will be perpetuated through expansion through the systems of interdisciplinary work. Significance of the article The content of the article predominantly indicated that its main purpose was to prove to the audience that mathematical almost all mathematical statements have proof, and this phenomenon began in ancient times before the Pythagoras theorem was invented. Krantz further wanted to portray that proof in the field of mathematics is timeless based on the fact it’s applied in numerous other disciplines such as physics, chemistry, computer science, and biological sciences just to mention a few of them. The author further offers the idea that mathematicians’ idea and attitude is not to dwell on the theoretical part, hence, any mathematical work should have a proof for it to be worthy substantiated. Generally, many of the mathematical proofs that the author describes in the article are supported by works of other experts which he acknowledges in his work. According to the author’s opinion, he points out that the Babylonians had the idea of the Pythagoras theorem before its invention by Pythagoras, as they had already developed several diagrams which epitomized such ideas (Biggs, 225). However, he asserts that the theorem is of incredible significance in the mathematical study as it embodies the idea of mathematical proof, that is proving of geometrical statements in particular (Sierpiński, 118). While the author consents of the Pythagorean contributions in the understanding of the geometrical work, he further finds much more contribution in the advancement of mathematical understanding especially in rational work. Krantz indicated that Pythagorean triples were one of the numerous proofs which not helped mathematicians to transcend from the previous theoretical work, but the work set the foundation for numerous other works that followed such as those of Euclid which entails determination of the lengths of line segments. He posits that Pythagorean triple principles laid the foundation of the recent alge
Introduction To attain social, economic, and political stability, societies requires an effective system of governance. Governments have the role maintaining social security administration structures that ensure justice prevail within the borders of their administration. Administrative laws are enacted to facilitate the administration of social justice matters; it is the role government and the society in general to protect these laws (Dean, Weisbrot, 2001). Although different countries have different constitutions, some written and other unwritten, one aspect that stands out is that social security justice is a human right thus needs to be protected. Other than at national level, international bodies, protocols, and conventions have policies that support the administration of justice and protection of human rights. According to modernization theory, for a country to move from undeveloped to civilized/developed country, there is need to have effective systems and policies that reinforce social security to its citizens. Administrative laws address matters like equality, education system, criminal justice systems, and protection of human rights and fundamental freedom (Wildasin, 2008). When discussing the issue of social justice and security, the focus should not be on crime prevention issues but should take the focus of addressing social economic and political issues within a country. Despite efforts made by governments to provide social security, different countries are facing a challenge fighting modern form of crime; modern forms of crime have become complex with the introduction of information and technology tools. The problem has continued to keep security agencies on the lookout on ways they can protect their nations; one “technology” related crime is online pornography (Thompson, 2007). Moral evils in societies are of great importance for social and economic development; when the existing policies fail to address issue of morality within their population, then the future of nations is questionable. Section 18 USC 2252 of the United States constitution protects children from any sexual exposure or orientation; pornography is easily accessible to children and underage population creating the urge to engage in early sexual activities along with other social evils like rape and masturbation. Controlling of pornography has posed some challenge to social security forces as the sites with such materials keep changing their shape and somet
Native American women have several distinctive characteristics because of the distinct gender roles in the native culture. These roles define their place in the society in both positive and negative ways. Gender violence targeting the Native American women follows some of these patterns. The goal of this paper is to examine the factors contributing to gender violence against Native American women and the response of their religious and spiritual traditions. There is need to point out that there is a varying degree of acculturation of Native Americans. Some of them are completely urbanite with little or no tie to ethnic life, while others have the full ethnic upbringing. This paper focuses on the ethnic Native Americans with a strong tribal background. Several factors contribute to the violence against Native American women. These include the weaknesses of the criminal justice system, racism and the “lasting legacy of colonization”. The Native American society has its own criminal justice system. This system is not as elaborate as the federal law. There was a push to expand the jurisdiction of the tribal courts to give them the power to give sentences longer than three years. In their current state, they do not have the power to issue sentences that have a strong deterrent effect. Women who undergo domestic violence do not feel safe to report perpetrators because of the high risk that the system will not deliver justice. When cases of assault do not end with a conviction, the society ostracizes the women. It is difficult to participate socially after such as experience. This situation makes it impossible or highly undesirable for women to report cases of violence against them. They prefer to save face and to live with the consequences of violence. The second major factor responsible for violence against Native American women is racism. Along with other mino
Introduction Ever since the dawn of times, people have tried to experiment with food and alter natural ingredients in a way that would both enhance their taste and make them visually more pleasing. Food dyes are a type of additives that emerged in the process of manipulating food. They are defined as pigments or substances that impart color when added to food or drink. Some techniques of food dying were known to humankind since ancient times, but it was not until the early 20th century that it was decided to pass actual regulations to prevent producers from using harmful ingredients for food coloring. This shift was explained by the scientific advancements that allowed people to extend the array of coloring substances past strictly natural ones and add artificial dyes. In the US, the Food and Drug Acts were passed and amended numerous times during the 20th century as the new food dyes required intense scrutiny before making them fully legal. This paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of food dyes and examine possible health threats of this type of additives. Advantages Food Color and Perception The growing popularity of exotic cuisines and fast food demonstrate that consumers’ expectations gravitate towards diverse experiences. They do not want to settle for bland and boring foods – instead, they prefer products that are not only nourishing but also have intense taste and flavor. Interestingly enough, it is possible to manipulate a person’s perception of food by adding dyes that intensify or change its color. In his review, Spence explains that several studies have shown an association between coloring and food perception (21). For instance, the participants of one study reported improved experiences with chicken broth and chocolate pudding after food dyes were added as opposed
The concept of managing time might seem fairly simple. In fact, following a schedule is part and parcel of everyday life, from waking up at a specific time to carrying out routine actions. However, when placed in a new environment, people tend to reconsider their plans and adjust it so that a new schedule could be formed. Because of the lack of experience in the arrangement of activities, the experience of managing time is likely to be rather deplorable. However, with a detailed analysis of the issue, the reconsideration of one’s habits, and their further change so that new tasks could be completed successfully, one is likely to succeed in managing time, as my experience during my first year has shown. I have to admit that my time management skills left much to be desired. I used to have little to no control over the time that I spend on seemingly minor activities, such as playing an online game or taking a snack in the middle of a certain task. As a result, I used to be late for practically everything, from my school activities to home-related ones. The failure to identify the problem that would not let me focus aggravated the situation to an even greater degree, therefore, creating the environment in which successful use of time became practically impossible. As a result, I was forced to come up with regular excuses about why I was unable to complete a particular task within the suggested amount of time. Asking for regular extensions on school projects was another tool that I used to introduce some modicum of orderliness into my life. At present, however, I am capable of using a well thought-out time management framework as the means of approaching my roles and responsibilities, including both academic and the ones related to my family and personal life. The class that I have taken has taught me a lot about managing time efficiently. First and most obvious, the skills for getting the priorities straight can be viewed as an crucial ability that the class has helped me develop. Furthermore, essential information about the harmful effects of procrastination as the key factor contributing to a failure in time management has been provided to me. As a result, the opportunities for rearranging the schedule have been created. Which is even more important, the issue of multitasking has been explored in depth, making it clear that the specified activity is not recommended as the means of improving time management. Particularly, I have learned to focus on a single activity so that it could be completed perfectly as opposed to carrying out several (two to four) tasks the results of which will, later on, have to be improved, anyway. The identified information has been especially important since I used to believe that multitasking was an important acquired ability t
Introduction Modern literatures have defined language in several ways. All those definitions are right as long as their main or central focus is communication. Language is therefore a purely human method of communication that is free of instincts. It is through language that human beings can communicate ideas, emotions, and desires by way of a system of voluntarily produced symbols (Syal, P. & Jindal, D. 4). Different people in the world speak different languages. One of the reasons is because of geographical factors and difference in culture. Japanese people speak Japanese language simply because the language developed in that particular region of the earth. On the other hand, English is spoken mainly in the US, Great Britain, Australia and the commonwealth countries simply because the language first developed in England and later spread to their colonies by virtue of their great colonial influence. This paper discusses issues related to language differences and the accompanying difficulties that non native speakers find it hard to pronounce some words in a language that is not their mother tongue. In particular, the Japanese find it hard to pronounce English words due to a number of reasons. Historical background The Japanese language, also known as Nihon-go, is spoken by over 125 million people who live in the island state of Japan. In its indigenous form, the language is known as either Nihon or Nippon. This language took shape in the early part of the 20 th century based on the dialect spoken in some parts of Tokyo, the capital city of Japan. At present, this common language is used for educational purposes and mass communication. The language is actually understood throughout the country. Ho
Abstract The paper examines the medical history of M.K., 45 years old, and comments on necessary treatment and medication options. The development and clinical findings or chronic bronchitis are explained, while probable treatment is offered. This case study analysis attempts to predict what type of heart failure M.K. is more likely to experience. Hypertension is also addressed, and the paper stipulates its stage according to the American Heart Association 2017 new guidelines. Furthermore, the paper draws attention to lipid panel results and explains that these values make M.K. subject to additional health issues. M.K.’s HbA1c test value proves that the patient suffers from Type II diabetes mellitus, which also exposes her to heart problems. Finally, it is supposed that a comprehensive treatment approach that combines both lifestyle change and medication can improve the state of M.K.’s health. Introduction M.K. is a 45-year-old woman who is experiencing severe health issues. She suffers from multiple symptoms, including chronic cough with sputum, distended neck veins, light-headedness, increased urination at night, and excessive peripheral edema. Her current history includes Type II diabetes mellitus, primary hypertension, and chronic bronchitis. These health problems are explained by a 22-year history of smoking together with a poor diet. M.K. tries to improve her health, and her current medications consist of Lotensin and Lasix for hypertension along with Glucophage for Type II diabetes mellitus. That is why the principal purpose of this paper is to analyze M.K.s laboratory findings, offer additional treatment and drugs for the patient, comment on her current medications, and foresee her future health issues. Addressing Chronic Bronchitis To begin with, one should emphasize that M.K. does not have any treatment for her chronic bronchitis according to the statement of the problem above. Firstly, it is necessary to explain what clinical findings correlate with the given disease. One should note that chronic cough with sputum is a valid symptom. Since M.K. is a smoker with rich experience, she is more subject to the health condition under consideration. However, it is reasonable to draw attention to clinical findings to make the correct diagnosis. In this case, it is rational to focus on arterial blood gas assessment. According to Family Practice Notebook (2020), markedly reduced PaO2 and elevated PaCO2 are signs of chronic bronchitis. Global RPh (2017) indicates that the standard PaO2 value is 80-100 mm Hg, and that of PaCO2 is 35-45 mm Hg. As for M.K., her level of PaO2 is 48 mm Hg, and that of PaCO2 is 52 mm Hg. Consequently, the combination of all these facts makes it possible to diagnose chronic bronchitis. Once the diagnosis is made, it is reasonable to comment on treatment and recommendations for M.K. When it comes to medicines, the first step is to take bronchodilators, including Serevent, Tudaorza, or others (Medline Plus, n.d.). These dr
