People’s history lasts for many years and there is no exact date when people appeared on the earth. People have always been interested in their history, in the life before them and other events, which were very important for some time. Before historians began to record the events before ancient authors or chroniclers wrote their works some myths were told from one generation till the other one and in such a way ancient myths came to our times. Different countries have different myths, different Gods, and Goddesses, and it can be very informative to compare the myths of different countries and to define their differences and similarities. Theseus is a Greek hero who is famous not only for his character or some features but for his achievements. Being wise, Theseus managed to be a great ruler. He was also very powerful, as to the way of his ruling he stepped a lot of miles and managed to take part in a lot of struggling, such as the slew of Periphetes giant, the killing of robber Sinis, also the murder of Crommyon and Cercyon, who were cruel and negative characters in the Greek mythology. The name of Theseus is closely connected with the famous myth about Minotaur, when going for a fight with a great monster, Theseus promised to raise a white flag if the affair were successful and to ask the team of the board to raise a black flag in Theseus were dead. Returning from Crete with the victory, the feeling of delight made him forget to change the flag from black to white and Theseus’s father killed himself thinking about his son’s death (Scull, 2003). Horus is the Egyptian mythological God, who is famous for his appearance, and to be more concrete for the variety of his appearances. His usual look is a human’s body with the head of a hawk or falcon. The most famous story connected with Horus is his battle with Seth, who was the spirit of darkness. Their fight symbolized the battle between light and darkness, day and night, good and evil. Horus was considered a winner, but Seth remained alive, as the battle may be considered unfinished. Horus remained in the sky and was the king, and Seth became the God of the storm who disturbs people (Andrews, 2000). These myths have both differences and similarities, which show that despite different traditions and understanding of the world, people had the same vision of a lot of things from different countries. The understanding of life and death, good and evil, the fights with monstrous and other evil creatures, where the good part always wins are similar issues which present in the myths of Greek and Egyptian nations. The situations and the way of battle providing are different (Egyptians are crueler). The outcomes various, Greek myth is rather pessimistic. In conclusion, Greece and Egypt are very anc
Strengths Paul, the hospital CEO has implemented Information Technology to assist in business processes. The Electronic Medical Records system replaced the paper system used to record the patient’s information. The doctors, nurses and system administrators now use electronic readers to access patients’ files and medical details and are designed in such a way that they are the only ones authorized to access the readers. The EMR system checks automatically errors and drug prescriptions. The ERMs system is more secure than paper records and has improved the hospital’s operations (Eisenmann, 2009). Sunnylake Hospital has the financial resources to maintain its current product base and develop new more modified products. The implementation of the Electronics Records system shows that the hospital has the necessary Information Technology funding. The hospital also has the financial resources to engage the services of a professional consulting company. The hospital has insurance cover over IT risks and could cover blackmail costs. Weaknesses The hospital failed to implement a layered security system and this made it vulnerable to hackers to capture the EMR system. The hospital implements a down-top approach to security management, and the CEO over-relied on one IT director, Jacob to operate the whole system. The management should be involved in making IT decisions. When the system was hacked, Paul just sat back and wait for Jacob to work a way out. Also, the IT team is too small to manage the whole department solely. Failure to put up sound security management has really affected the hospital’s operation adversely. This involves risk assessment, information security procedures, standards, rules, baselines, security initiatives, and security enlightenment. Furthermore, the hospital
Every day presents both opportunities and challenges in the business environment which necessitate critical evaluation to enable one come up with possible solutions to combat them. The construction of a relevant argument is hence of essence since it enables the business’ management to arrive at amicable solution to the issue at hand. For these arguments to be formulated adequately, serious deliberations and critical evaluation are deemed necessary (Miller, 2007). This paper hence explores the various avenues of arriving at constructive arguments with solid supportive backgrounds. The mode of communication in business environments always depend on the intension of the message or information to be delivered. If the information was intended to set in motion or rather initiate some action among the members of staff for example, the mode of communication would in this case involve a relentless expression of the required expectations and motivation of the parties involved to see to it that the take-off of a certain project is done adequately. If the intent of a particular mode of communication was to put across a certain message to the concerned party, it would be quite imperative to ensure that the information is delivered as required (Finnegan, 2002). In a business environment for instance, this mode would ensure that decision making among employees is adequately informed so as to create a situation where understanding and general awareness are arrived at. Another important aspect that ought to be put into consideration before settling on a certain mode of communication is the establishment and maintenance of relations both with a firm’s employees and other business associates (Miller, 2007). This is a very important consideration since it greatly determines the prosperity and growth levels of a business organization. As better interactive skills are employed in creating relations, productivity is highly enhanced. Critical evaluation of information sources so as to verify their credibility is also quite important since it enhances the accuracy of inferences made on the issues in question. Key areas to focus on while evaluating information sources inc
Introduction The modern world could be characterized by the significant changes in the structure of the market and the main approaches towards management and development of business. These changes result from the evolution of technologies and the implementation of innovations in numerous activities. It also conditions the increased interchange between various states and the growth of the commodity circulation (Kobayashi, 2011). In these regards, the modern world market could be characterized by the great significance of international relations and globalization trends which could guarantee new outlets and customers (Locke, 2002). The functioning of numerous companies is reconsidered to guarantee their further evolution and spread to other countries. When speaking about the attempts of various companies to achieve the next level of their evolution and go global, it is crucial to highlight the major concerns related to the given issue. First. great international companies like Nike have to look for the new outlets constantly as the increased rivalry conditions the increased importance of stable revenues and of a certain targeted audience that will use the goods provided by a company (Das, 2010). For this reason, globalization of a certain trend could be taken as a response to the growth of rivalry and the appearance of new opportunities for the companys growth. Corporations like Nike tend to guarantee their further evolution by means of new customers attracted by the companys entry into the new market (Deng, 2009). That is why Nike and a number of other corporations are now globalized brands that could be found in any state. The great popularity of globalization and the companies adherence to the given practice is conditioned by a number of advantages provided by the entry into the new market. For instance, the international character of the company guarantees Nike the annual revenue of about $30.6 billion, while the North American region generated a revenue of approximately $13,74 billion ( Statistics and facts on Nike , n.d.). It becomes obvious that the bigger part of incomes comes from various international departments (Dalton, 2009). This fact conditions the advantageous character of the practice. Yet, there are also some problematic issues resulting from the globalization like the decreased quality of goods, problems with local workers, etc. That is why it is crucial to investigate the given question. Peculiarities of the modern market The drift of people across areas was the chief feature of the globalization progression. In the second half of the 19 th century, over 20 million people moved from Europe to North and South America, Australia, and New Zealand. The period between the World Wars saw harshly limited movement flows to these zones of European settlement, but the status quo began to change again in the 1950s (Grinin, 2013). It is worth reminding that this period was characterize
Summary This paper is a research proposal comparing childhood obesity in United States of America and Saudi Arabia. The paper starts by defining the purpose statement of the research which is to establish on the rate of obesity between US and Saudi Arabia, the causes and how to overcome the disease. Then there is the description of the rationale followed by the literature review. The methodology that will be used in data collection is described and finally the expected outcome and their implications on the study and the children population at large. Rational The reason for doing this project is to establish the rate of Obesity amongst children in the US and Saudi Arabia. This has since become one of the growing problems that have affected the young people in terms of their lifestyle, health and general social behaviours. The research will evaluate on the causes of obesity and what should be done to prevent its effects on children. The rationale of this study is to assert on the fact that obese children have social problems. Studies of overweight and obesity in have not been done adequately especially in young people. Studies on the prevailing change occurring amongst overweight and obese children over time are also lacking, hence the need for the research. Problem Statement The purpose of the project is to do a survey on the prevalence of obesity and the intervention strategies of preventing the disease in children. Children will be considered a priority because, while 50% of the adults are overweight in many countries, it is difficult to control the problem once one is in adulthood stage. The question this research will answer is on how to deal with obesity in children and the necessary preventive measures. Literature review Obesity is a global problem due to the increase in junk food; luxury devises easy means of transport and stationery jobs. The world health organization predicts that there will be over 2.3 billion overweight adults by 2015 and more than 700 million of them will be obese. In developed countries childhood obesity has reached alarming levels (Dehghan, 2008). The trend of obesity has been discovered to cut across the whole population and affect people of all age and race. It has been found to have adverse effects on the health of children and is prevalent in developing countries as well as developed countries (Van, 1985). There are several other diseases associated with obesity which include paediatric hypertension and other chronic diseases. According to Al-Hazmi and Warsy (1999), the improvement in economic development has brought about change in eating habits of the Saudi Arabians. This has mostly affected the children with statistics showing that 27.5% of overweight children are boys and 28% are girls. This was an estimate conducted on children between age 6 and 19 in a survey back in 1996 (Al-Nuaim, Bamgboye, Al-Herbish, 1996; Abahussai
Introduction The rapid integration of the United Arab Emirates with the rest of the world in the past few years is largely due to its fast economic growth. As a result, the UAE has turned into a labor-intensive nation with a lot of multinational corporations settling in. The discovery of gas and oil in the UAE has transformed it from a desert to a modern state characterized by a diversified population. Like any other fast-developing state, the UAE requires labor and human capital to sustain its fast-growing economy. Since it operates under an open economy, the UAE has a large population of expatriates from all over the world. The attraction of expatriates and individuals from different parts of the world has been attributed to the fast economic growth and the availability of employment opportunities (Adams & El Shunnar, 2011). Despite the fact that many people seek employment in the UAE, nonetheless, the state’s labor laws do not comply with the international labor law standards. There is a dire need therefore to change the existing UAE labor laws. The international labor organization is an arm of the United Nations that specializes in labor law with the aim of promoting labor rights and social justice. The ILO operates with formulated recommendations and treaties which act as the minimum labor standards thus giving rights and social justice to workers (International Labour Organization, 2011). The minimum standards that form the basis for labor rights are freedom of association, equal opportunity, and treatment, restriction to child labor, rthe ight to have a collective bargaining and the right to organize (ILO, 2011). These standards act as a benchmark for improving the working conditions and treatment in the workplace. Despite the establishment of ILO standards and recommendations, the UAE labor laws do not comply with the basic standards and requirements. The report explores the UAE labor laws and compares them with the ILO standards and recommendations to showcase the need for legislative changes in the current UAE labor laws. Findings and Analysis The UAE labor force is largely made up of either expatriates or immigrants (Adams & El Shunnar, 2011). Although the UAE is a member of the ILO, nonetheless, it has been reluctant to make changes in its labor law thus benefiting from the cheap labour supplied by immigrants. The areas that need changes in
Summary The article represents the current survey on the nature of markets and their measurability in terms of constant ups and downs of the international indexes in terms of definite deals or their annulment. In this respect the effective and efficient methods are seen to be helpful for making the whole systematic character of this financial sphere stabilized and working. The return on investment (ROI) measure is observed in the article as the mechanism which is applicable for marketing investments and their prior position for the particular gains and profits. Such spheres of managerial mutual interaction are touched in the article as the customer relationship management and knowledge management along with the technological support in solving the raised problems. This is why the author for the purpose of making data more accessible structures the whole article divided into three tiers, so that to make the transition in analysis of ROI for the particular market conditions. These tiers are:  1. Profits and ROI;  2. ROI Subcomponents;  3. Performance Indicators. In the first part of the discussion the author leads to the significance of maximizing profits in the short and long run. In this respect the theoretical framework is given to make the difference between maximizing profits and maximizing ROI. The thing is that notions of the “investment” and “net value” are highlighted with particular explanation of what is prior within two. On the other hand, ROI is particularly significant for the decision-making process due to the budget allocation procedure and determination of the marketing campaign level. The second part of the article gives the information about the constituents of ROI. Thus, an expert should bear in mind the following components of it, namely: 1) Customer lifetime value (CLV); 2) Total number of customers generated from the marketing investment; 3) Marketing expense, which is the total investment made with the expectation of generating a return. In the third part of the article the performance indicators are used to identify the
Achieving health objectives and protecting different populations’ health is impossible without timely and justified health policies based on high-quality evidence. Such policies are decisions and initiatives aimed at implementing changes to the existing care provision practices in order to benefit stakeholder groups and protect the rights of providers and consumers. It is possible to single out two basic types of healthcare policies, such as regulatory and allocative policies, that seek to improve public health in different ways. This essay discusses health policies, the determinants of health, and the connections between the two. The key difference between regulatory and allocative health policies is presented by the focus on behaviors or resources. Regulatory policies are the government’s tools to impose limitations on some groups’ behaviors and regulate them (Shi, 2014). Importantly, to ensure compliance with the prescribed norms, such policies introduce sanctions against those violating the rules, including fines, civil/criminal liability, and so on (Shi, 2014). Unlike allocative policies, regulatory policies demand the fulfillment of specific instructions to meet public health objectives (Tan et al., 2017). Regulatory policies can be competitive and protective, and statewide tobacco and alcohol policies exemplify governments’ attempts to regulate behaviors impacting health (Tan et al., 2017). In contrast, allocative policies involve the actual provision of goods, services, or pecuniary resources to different populations (Shi, 2014). For instance, in Malaysia, some allocative policies involve free vaccination against the human papillomavirus for teenage girls (Tan et al., 2017). Depending on the subtype, allocative policies spread benefits and resources or redistribute them to protect the most vulnerable groups and maintain justice (Shi, 2014). Actually, both types of policies help to meet health objectives, but they do it in different ways. To sort out priorities and make forward-looking and effective decisions, health policymakers are expected to have a profound knowledge of the phenomenon of health and what makes people healthy. The determinants of health can be defined as factors that have an impact on individuals’ health situations and opportunities to improve them (Rasanathan et al. 2015; Shi, 2014). These factors are extremely diverse and refer to the conditions in which people grow and live, as well as the most prominent trends in resource and power distribution (Rasanathan et al., 2015). The determinants of health are divided into two categories based on their stability. As an example, some determinants, including sex, genotype, and age, a
The documentary under review is a YouTube video uploaded on 9 th February 2018 by Sheila Baker. The video is titled “Documentary: Japan Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011” (Baker, 2018). It reports the natural disaster events, including an investigation into the cause and effects (Baker, 2018). Just like several other documentaries, it has a vast target audience even though the information it provides mainly targets governments and natural disaster experts. Despite providing a factual report on the events in Japan in 2011, the video has an apparent purpose. It aims to inform its intended audience about the unprecedented events that are likely to occur in the case of a natural disaster (Baker, 2018). In this case, even though the country had the best technology and preventive measures for earthquakes and tsunamis, its devices could not predict the magnitude and nature of the events experienced on that particular day. Furthermore, the director wants the audience to be aware that natural disasters are uncontrollable since they result from natural earth processes. Thus, no amount of technology or preparedness can mitigate their effects (Baker, 2018). Nonetheless, she still encourages her audience to always have preventive measures due to the volatility of such occurrences. Before watching the video, I had minimal knowledge of the subject. I had only read about the event in the newspaper, but I never took the time to research the issue adequately. Nonetheless, I expected to witness the events that led to the disasters in question and why they claimed so many lives. Additionally, I wanted to see the impact it had on the environment. In this regard, I had questions concerning the causes of earthquakes and tsunamis and their effects on the environment. The documentary reflects the events leading to the natural disasters and their aftermath, including an investigation into the reasons for the failure of the precautionary measures in place during the 2011 earthquake in Japan (Baker, 2018). Therefore, its main events include the detection of the catastrophe and a depiction of how they occurred. A significant part of the video was filmed in Northeastern Japan, where the tsunami took place even though the first section showing the effects of the earthquake was shot in Tokyo. Undoubtedly, this documentary has incredible sound effects which blend the cataclysmic events. However, the images are not as sharp as expected, probably because of the nature of the disasters. Despite these shortcomings, the documentary is appropriately filmed with varied camera angles to capture both calamities in depth. Another notable attribute of the documentary is the interviews that have been integrated. They are very educative, especially on understanding why Japan’s defense could not prevent the
