This essay is devoted to the explanation of discounted cash flow and relative valuation techniques. Both groups of methods are illustrated with examples. While relative valuation techniques are often criticized for inconsistency, this essay tries to explain why these methods are still frequently used both by small investors and financial analysts. Additionally, the essay concludes with specific reference to common mistakes made in the valuation of security due to the irrelevancy of accounting reports. Discounted cash flow methods Discounted cash flow (DCF) methods are not new in human history. The ‘philosophy’ behind DCF is very simple and was known from the very earliest times of financial history: the value of assets changes across time. However, it was only in 1930 when DCF techniques were translated on modern financial language and formalized by Irwing Fisher. According to Fisher (1930): “Income is derived from capital goods. But the value of the Income is not derived from the value of the capital goods. On the contrary, the value of the capital is derived from the value of the Income.” Therefore to find out the value of capital now, one must analyze possible changes in the value of Income in the future. When used for estimating the value of a security, DCF methods do not simply use future cash flows as current ones but consider their ‘discount’ or interest rates when converting them to current. In this way, DCF methods demonstrate two significant benefits. First, they take into account the time value of funds, reflecting t
The Prevention and Control of Infection Organizational Structure The Prevention and Control of Infection (PCI) is responsible for initiating infection prevention transmission within the health center. The department lays down regulations and recommendation that aid the health center to operate with minimal risk of communicable diseases being transmitted between patients and healthcare providers. The department also serves the role of offering training on infection prevention. The Prevention and Control of Infection (PCI) is headed by a microbiologist who is responsible for directing the activities of the personnel involved in the prevention of infection. The director is also responsible for carrying out research on new methods for infection control and recommends the ones that the health center can adopt. The team also has a laboratory technician and a clinical nurse whose role is to carry out different laboratory tests and offer clinical support respectively. Performance In the previous two years, the Prevention and Control of Infection (PCI) department developed a training protocol that will be used for the training of new healthcare providers who join the facility. The training focuses on ensuring the new staff is aware of the measures they can take to address new cases of suspected infection and also how to make the notification to the relevant authorities. The team is currently reviewing the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Health Department’s new guidelines on infection control and prevention with the aim of adopting some of the recommendations into the health center’s policy (Detels, Beaglehole, Lansang, & Gulliford, 2011). The department has also established a health education seminar that will be held in the four schools that are within the catchment area of the health center with the aim of increasing public awareness on communicable diseases. The team has also secured funding that will allow them to increase their current staffing levels from three to seven to enhance their operations so that the team can take up more roles. Human Resources Organizational Structure The Human Resource Department is headed by the VP for Human Resource Management whose role is to oversee operations aimed at developing strategi
Introduction and Background Tourism is a very rewarding economic activity in the present world, as it is among the largest income generators in many states and countries. For many years, countries have underscored the importance of tourism and its contribution to their economies. However, the act of underscoring the importance of tourism has gradually changed for a number of states have seen the benefits that accrue from organized management of tourism. Unfortunately, several countries focus on common and traditional forms of tourism, such as beach tourism and expeditions to national parks and reserves. Stakeholders in the field of tourism, including the host government, communities, private investors, and the tourists accord little attention to alternative forms of tourism. Alternative forms of tourism include leisure, sport, adventure, ecotourism, and space tourism. Therefore, it is against this background that the research assesses the viability of space tourism as proposed by Sir Richard Branson in terms of market size, number of potential consumers, their perceptions, willingness, and expectations regarding the space tourism. Marketing Research Problem Tourism stakeholders like the government, private investors, service providers, non-governmental organizations, tourists, and the host communities have overlooked the benefits of diversifying tourism for a long time. Instead, these stakeholders emphasize on the development and consumption of common and prominent tourism products such as the expedition to national parks and reserves, as well as beach tourism, which incorporates sightseeing of elements like sand, sun, nature, and sea. The development and extensive marketing of these common forms of tourism has resulted in the degradation of these destinations. The degradation of these destinations is due to the large number of tourists visiting the attractions. These tourists usually exceed the carrying capacity that the subject tourist destination can comfortably support. Additionally, the large numbers of tourists increase the susceptibility of the destination to degradation owing to the trampling of vegetation, fire outbreaks, pollution, and other negative effects associated with tourism. Extensive marketing of tourism attractions such as national parks, lakes, oceans, and seas, has led to pronounced degradation in the destination. Many tourists throng the tourist sites in these regions and in turn initiate several negative effects that only serve to degrade the destination and reduce the overall worth and value of the subject attraction. Additionally, it has led to increased negative effects like pollution, which comprises environmental, soil, water, and air pollution. Environmental pollution occurs when tourists in a given destination dump solid wastes in the attraction site, especially outside designated waste bins. Soil pollution takes place when waste from service providers like hotels and travel agencies seep into the ground. On the other hand, when to

Introduction Teaching and studying are both very complicated processes that demand great skills from those who teach and from those who are taught. Different people invent different ways of teaching; create teaching programs for the classes they have to teach and look for the most efficient methods for this. Some people keep to the point of view that the best way to study something is the so-called self-education when a person does not need any teacher to learn some material and use it in practice. This is a valuable point of view that works in some cases, but it can not be applied to all situations and, because of this, can not be treated as the right one. The most useful point of view is that for any kind of studying a teacher is necessary whose role will be to present the most useful material to the students and to make them memorize it. To achieve that, teachers must use special means, and these means are specific for every single teacher. The most modern teachers, with the development of technology, resort to using visual aids and different technological means in their classes. One of the means that can be helpful to any teacher is the Internet site YouTube that is specialized at videos of various topics and can provide a great amount of material for study of any kind. Our group created a project that is aimed at getting teachers acquainted with the modern technology and with the teaching potential of YouTube (Fahs, p.12). In this paper, we are going to present the process of creation of the material dedicated to this Internet means of study, including our aims, means used and difficulties faced while working on the material. YouTube as Educational Source To begin with, let us describe the material we created for educational purposes only. The web site dedicated to the educational opportunities that YouTube presents was created with the help of the software web 2. 0 which allows to achieve great quality of the material and spent less time, than doing this with another software, like for instance, HTML or web 1. 0. The source provides every visitor with the information necessary to be
Introduction Today’s society is too dynamic due to increased technological advancement. This has called for all societies of the world to give their young people the most relevant education and training to make the fit in the modern world. Despite all this efforts various sociological issues affecting education have continued to make it very hard for the children of the world to have a bright future. Here we are going to look at various issues, the problems which they pose in the teaching fraternity and also the impacts which they can bring in the course of trying to improve such pathetic conditions. Some of these issues will involve the interest of teachers in teaching, different ways of teaching, student life in school and at home, social challenge in school, dealing with exceptionally gifted and talented learners, the multicultural issues and his try of education and finally the financing and governing American schools. Interest of teachers in teaching The interest of teachers in teaching is quite unquestionable. This is clearly evidenced by the fact that a lot of people are quitting their jobs to switch to teaching profession and also by the fact that a lot of teachers have strong passion for what they does best and that is teaching. Despite all this obvious fact a lot of teachers are highly demoralized by low salaries associated with teaching profession and a lot of them opt to go for greener pastures in the event such opportunities arise on their way. Thus it can be said that a lot of people usually join the teaching profession in the events of economic hard times and the economic meltdown. A lot of societies have tried in making efforts to harmonize the salaries of teachers with those of other people in public service and also in private sector but this has not materialized fully to the levels which are satisfactory to teachers thus it has been very hard to retain and attract teachers in training profession. These facts have created a lot of problems in the teaching fraternity and thus leading to poor education. Different ways of learning There are various ways of learning which vary deeply from one learner to another. This has called for the teachers to undertake extra tasks by analyzing and evaluating the individual learners in order to cater for their individual needs. Firstly, one of the ways of learning is categorized as the convergers. Here the learners’ following in this category are highly associated with abstract conceiving and a lot of experimentation of ideals, use of inferences from general principles to base their logic to solve problems and also good application of ideas. Secondly, we also have another category called divergers (Aurtus, 2010, p. 1). The learners who follow in this category are characterized with perceiving things by use of their senses, good imaginative aspects and thus they easily come up with constructive ideas and finally they are associated with viewing things in different perspectives. Thirdly, the other category of ways of learning is assimilators. Those learners who follow in this category are associated with abstract conceiving of things, keenly reflecting on all
Introduction One of the insidious features of Information Technology is diagnostic work. Diagnostic work can be said to be the process involving identifying and categorizing problems associated with Information Technology Security Management. In addition, diagnostic work involves defining the scope of the remedies that an organization should put in place to correct any problems and prevents some form occurring in the future. The principal duty of security practitioners in the Information Technology field is diagnosis (Botta et al. 106). Despite diagnosis being a prominent activity in the field of response, it is still in its initial stages (Killcrece et al). To support this argument on diagnosis being in its infancy stages, comparisons have been drawn with the worm incident in 1998 and the state of IT security in 2003. Conclusions have been made that, security related aspects have gone from bad to worse during that period (Spafford, 220). Of most importance as highlighted by Spafford, there has been an inadequacy by the security community in Information Technology to learn the vital role played by communication during incident response. Spafford suggestion to the security community in Information Technology is that, there should be better ways to distribute and coordinate information during an incident related to Information Technology. While some organizations have been able to provide procedures to guide them to respond to such incidents, there exist a few pragmatic investigations on responses by the security community (Goodall et al, 1424). This research seeks to fill this gap left by the inadequate responses available that organizations should use to respond to such incidents. The purpose of this project is to examine how the security community in the Information Technology sector responds to security incidents. Furthermore, the project will examine the initial phase of preparation, detection of the incidents, and analysis of the anomalies. Werlinger et al. identified nine activities that required an interaction between security practitioners and other stakeholders (107). One of these nine activities proposed by Werlinger is security incident response. The research is going to expand these results in the following ways: analyzing security incident response based on an extensive point of view, to a certain extent focusing on interactions only. In addition, the research will go a step ahead to identify the aspects during interactions that are involved when preparing, detecting, and investigating security incidents (114). The contributions of the findings form this research will be important to the security community. Of important to note, the findings will be of twofold importance based on the analysis to be provided in the research. First, there will be a clear analysis and description of the roles, skills, strategies to be used and tools needed by the security comm
When asked about the importance of the work of a public health leader I would try to communicate the social justice perspective and values. Thus my answer must contain not only certain clichés that would help me persuade this market-justice leader in the community but also some presentation of my work. Should I specify the principles of everyday day work? I do not think it is necessary to come into the open till the end. Public health deals not only with medical assistance, medical insurance, and all that things. The problems that exist in the modern world can really harm one’s health: horrible ecological conditions; different viruses that cannot be treated in an ordinary way and involve inpatient treatment; the active way of life presupposes contacts with other people and cause different injuries and traumas. People can get some injuries not only during their free time but also because of safety engineering violations. As people cannot be protected in full measure from the interrelations with other people who can harm them in this or that way; can be a carrier of some virus or disease. Thus public health deals not only with the guarantee of a long healthy life but also regulate and control the death rate, try to expand the life interval, and other things that the policy of public health contains. Some people think that public health is not very important, but medicine can play a crucial role in the security of the country. The first principle I am going to discuss is the principle of primal leadership, described in a similar article. This principle tells about the influence of the leader’s mood on the mood of all people around him/her. The essential is that people are more likely to be under the impact of a good, cheerful, and energetic mood. The sad mood and depressed feelings are not so obvious to affect other
Ad hoc has the implication of a connection method involving a network and most often than not, it works in association with devices that are wireless. For the device to function efficiently as well as effectively a base station is not a requirement and only one session is the exact duration that is established by the connection. Instead of the base stations, Ad hoc devices are capable of discovering other similar devices that fall within a specific range, therefore forming a special form of a network incorporating computers. Ad hoc devices are capable of searching and identifying specific nodes that are a target but existing out of range through a system of network flooding by the application of some broadcasts brought forward from the nodes. These Ad hoc connections have multiple applications. MANET, ( mobile ad-hoc network ), is one type of network of ad-hoc that is wireless and is linked to mobile routers through a wireless connection. This connection brings about a union that is a result of a topology of arbitrary nature. These routers are capable of an arbitrary organization achieved through a free as well as random movement. This topology formed by wireless networks is quite unstable and therefore unpredictable as well as rapid transformations are expected at any time. The MANET, therefore, has the option of connecting to the entire network or it may as well assume the operation of the fashion of the standalone. The basic component behind the operation of the MANET is a wireless node each of which has the potential to be a sender at one time, a receiver at another time, or even a router. At the time the node is sending, messages can be received at specific destinations as has been directed through the use of some route. When the node is functioning to receive messages, then any node can be the source of the message. At the time the node is functioning in the place of a router it serves to relay messages to the intended destination as well as the immediate router along the route. The movement of These nodes is one of random nature and therefore the message arrives right on time at the intended destination. MANET exhibits the dynamic feature in its makeup across its wireless users making it function in an atmosphere devoid of infrastructure as well as a configuration. Atypical MANET exhibits certain features, the most important being the absence of an infrastructure that is central in contrast to the other mobile networks that are equipped with some base stations. MANET functions for the purpose of accessing the desired destinations as well as servers that are deployed to facilitate the functioning of the network. All nodes, therefore, have the capability of being routers whereas all of these devices that are wireless have an interconnection amongst themselves and the entire network does not have a central connection. The nodes, therefore, are solely responsible to deliver messages as well as discovering the topology due to the self-configuration nature of this network. The topology exhibited by MANET is dynamic in nature with nodes having the freedom of an arbitrary movement. This movement is the root cause of rapid changes in t
