The economic recession that began in 2007 continues to affect a great number of U.K. businesses and one of its effects is the decrease in the number of jobs available to young people. The situation becomes particularly challenging for them since many employers value the experience of candidates (UK Commission for Employment and Skills 2012, p. 4). Furthermore, one should note that the economic downturn and competition force many companies to reduce their labor costs. Therefore, it may be difficult for some of the candidates to retain their jobs. These are the main aspects of economic climate. There are several trends of youth unemployment that one can identify. First of all, it should be noted that young people are traditionally occupied in sales or elementary jobs (UK Commission for Employment and Skills 2012, p. 4). Yet, the number of such jobs has significantly decreased within the last decade. The second trend is the growing number of small businesses. To some extent, it is a positive tendency because it leads to job creation. Nevertheless, these organizations usually focus on the experience of a professional. Furthermore, one should note that young people often need informal relations with in order to secure employment (UK Commission for Employment and Skills 2012, p. 4). Additionally, young people, who continue their education, are less likely to be employed because companies usually require full commitment of their workers (UK Commission for Employment and Skills 2007, p. 12). These are the main tendencies that are important for explaining youth unemployment. It is important to discuss the education of young people and the expectations of employers. First of all, schools and colleges can give a person a set of skills that are necessary for a certain profession. Furthermore, good education ensures that a graduate can acquire new skills in the course of his/her career. Overall, the majority of companies are satisfied with way in which educational institutions prepare young people for work (HM Government 2012, p. 7). Nevertheless, companies expect new hires to integrate into the organization as quickly as possible. An employee can do it provided that he/she has previous working experience. Furthermore, they expect full commitment and motivation of every worker. It should be noted that some of the companies attempt to increase the percentage of young employees. These organizations normally work in such sectors as manufacturing, public administration, education and healthcare (The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development 2011, p. 1). Certainly, these organizations also value experience of potential candidates, but they also value the ability of an employee to bring innovations. This is
Introduction The purchase, implementation, and use of Automated Maintenance Environment (AME) systems today is an integral part of working with airplanes and other transport, like space, marine, or helicopter vehicles. Systems like Boeing AME consist of a set of integrated software applications needed to provide maintenance, including technical support and data collection for troubleshooting, performance analysis, and forecasting future trends ( Boeing to provide aircraft Automated Maintenance Environment , 2014). This paper aims to analyze the utilization of AME systems by Boeing Company and its impact on the organization. Users of AME Systems Typically, the primary users of AME are aircraft maintainers – pilots, and technicians. Pilots can use the data provided by the system to correct in-flight problems, if possible. Technicians typically receive information on dozens of aircraft specifications in real-time. This data is immediately recorded in a database, and then technicians can compare it with standard indicators using special software tools to identify problems or predict possible future trends. Acquiring data from an aircraft during flight saves time on aircraft maintenance as technicians schedule troubleshooting in advance while the aircraft is still in the air. Therefore, after landing, maintenance takes significantly less time. Usually, pilots and technicians have a university degree and are well trained to perform the duties required by their position. Features, Inputs, and Outputs of AME Systems Innovative technologies called AME or IVHM serve the common purpose of constantly monitoring the airplane’s health and accumulating data necessary to deliver preventive care and instant repairs. For example, Boeing Airplane Health Management (AHM) maintenance system is a program that allows for timely identifying and diagnosing of problems with the aircraft system ( Airplane Health Management , n.d.). AHM uses real-time aircraft data to speed up the troubleshooting process. Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) aims to ensure the overall health of the aircraft. IVHM has four main features or areas of focus utilized by Boeing to provide its vehicles’ technical support. These features include diagnostics, prognostics, condition-based maintenance, and adaptive control. Diagnostics integrates technologies designed to collect data about system faults for subsequent analysis and troubleshooting. The main advantage of AME or IVHM is expedited maintenance, which increases the aircraft’s availability for carrying out its tasks of carrying passengers, cargo, or performing military maneuvers. Boeing uses Airplane Health Management (AHM) for diagnostics, while the program monitors aircraft during flight using real-time data from the aircraft’s central maintenance computer and an electronic logbook (Stephenson, n.d.). AHM transforms data into information that technicians can use to make simple d
The steps that should be taken I have already reviewed various books and articles that cast a light on the intelligence challenges related to the homeland security. Furthermore, I have examined a variety of groups that can pose a threat to America and its allies. At this point, it is necessary to apply the Lockwood Analytical Method for Prediction (LAMP). I will need to perform each of the steps that are included in this approach. At first, I will identify the groups whose actions can be relevant for understanding the research question. For instance, I will discuss various governmental agencies as well as terrorist groups. Furthermore, I will examine their intentions and long-term goals (Lockwood 2013, 10). Additionally, I will discuss each of the strategies that these stakeholders can adopt. It is also vital to explain how potential scenarios can be combined with one another. This stage is necessary to explain the impacts of strategies adopted by various organizations. Moreover, I will single out the primary dangers that intelligence agencies should take into consideration. Finally, I will outline the main findings that are useful for understanding and averting various threats to homeland security. The challenges and concerns Overall, there are several concerns that are of great importance to me. It should be mentioned that the LAMP method requires the determination of possible scenarios that intelligence agencies should consider (Evans 2011, 356). Moreover, one should estimate the probability of a certain scenario (Singh 2013, 83). One of the problems is that such estimations will be arbitrary. So, it is possible that the findings derived from the use of the LAMP may not be accurate. There is another difficulty that should be taken into account. In particular, I may fail to identify some of the possible scenarios. Such omissions can undermine the accuracy of results and impair the decision-making of intelligence agencies. Furthermore, one can overlook some of the events that can have potential implications for the security of the United States. Apart from that, there are many dependent and independent variables that should be included in the analysis. However, in many cases, it is difficult to measure these variables and their impact. It is one of the difficulties that should be considered. One should pay attention to other details as well. In particular, this research is based on the study of various secondary sources that can cast a light on potential intelligence challenges. For instance, it is possible to mention such challenges as cyber warfare and the threats posed by radical groups. However, in this case, relevant data may not be disclosed to the public (Pedahzur 2013, 12). Moreover, this study will be examining the organizations that lack transparency. Furthermore, people, who guide these organizations, can make considerable mistakes while taking strategic choices. Moreover, these individuals can also act irrationally. Therefore, some of the assumptions included in my analysis may be inaccurate or at least incomplete. So, I need to consider these details in my analysis. Moreover, while presenting the findings, I will need to
I was very interested to realize that there is an opportunity for me to apply for a post-doctoral program in Pediatric dentistry. I have always had a passion for children and when I joined the UPR- School of dental medicine I hoped that one day I will advance and work as a pediatric dentist. I have gained a great deal of practical experience for the years I have worked in general dentistry. I believe I am up to the task for that job and the following brief description will echo this position. Dentistry like any other field of Medicine requires careful attention to offer the best practice necessary to alleviate human suffering in the best way possible. Over the years, technological advancement has been realized to make the practice more comfortable and convenient for both the patient and the dentist. However, this has necessitated the restructuring of training programs to keep up with the changing technologies. I believe I have gained enough knowledge regarding this and I am ready for the tasks involved in pediatric dentistry. I am a hardworking lady with a great personality. I have excellent interpersonal skills and this has offered me the tool to score great successes in teamwork situations. Thus, I believe I am qualified to perform pediatric dental duties, as such duty requires a person with not only the necessary skills but also with the proper personality for comfortable interaction with the children. I have gained sufficient experience in general dentistry in the course of my practice. I attended the UPR- School of dental medicine which laid the foundation and equipped me with the necessary knowledge required to practice general dentistry. I have had sufficient work experience going up to 5 years which has exposed me to all the duties and responsibilities of a dentist. I will briefly outline the various places and positions I have held in the field of dentistry. I first worked as a dental assistant in the summer of 2005 in Caguas, P.R. After leaving the UPR dental school in 2006 I spent the next one year in private practice before joining the General Practice Residency at Randall VAMC for a post-doctoral program in general dentistry. I left the Residency in 2009 and I have been working as a general dentist for a dental Company. In addition, I have three dental licenses for New York City, Puerto Rico, and Florida. The details on this information and the academic achievements can be obtained from the resume attached. Being included in this postdoctoral
The first issue to discuss is that Maria is self-referred because she is the one who brought herself to the agency. The doctor or psychiatrist did not bring her but there are sentiments that she is involuntary because she has taken too long to seek psychological advice. She waited until she is diagnosed with a learning disability for her to seek help. Concerning her bio- social-spiritual information, Maria is a Hispanic American woman whose parents were American immigrants from Latin America. She is had been raised by single parent after her parents divorced when she was three years. Therefore, there was no father figure in her nuclear family. Maria is well educated with a Graduate Equivalence Degree (GED) and is presently majoring in Psychology. However, she feels she has struggled more than others to achieve this. She has been married three times and she has three children out of the first two marriages who are aged seventeen, twenty-four and twenty-six. She has been employed at a restaurant and has taken up other jobs that provided avenues for meeting her three husbands. Maria initial appearance seems to be of a confident person who is having problems within herself because she is riddled with inferiority complex. She is also a very controlling especially those who are inferior to her. That is why she says that her sister thinks that she talks more when she is around unprofessional people than when she is with professional people. She also seems to have a problem with men, which has wrecked her two marriages. She has an issue with the sense that she puts blame on other people and never faults herself (Briere & Scott, 2006). Maria comes to the agency to seek help due to chronic depression, which she thinks has been caused by her dysfunctional marriage and the knowledge of her learning disability. Maria’s problems seem to have begun long time ago even before she was diagnosed with the learning disability. She has a problem with coping with the men in her life and this is partly because she did not have a father figure in her childhood. Her problems were compounded by the fact that she was a slow leaner because she had a problem with English language. They are even complicated by her marriage to an abusive man. Maria has tried to cope with her problems in the past by working hard to cover her failures. She developed a mindset that for her to succeed in everything she has to try it several times. This means that in class she knew she had to repeat in order to pass. She even gets married to h
Response to Billig’s (1999) Article The article by Billig (1999) dwells on such significant aspects related to advertising and consumerism as commodity fetishism and repression. According to the author, the current fetishism of commodities takes its roots from the Freudian interpretation of this term, which implies that people are engaged in the “form of shared repression” (Billig, 1999, p. 313). In this relation, a critique of contemporary capitalism emerged and has been developed by economists and sociologists. The views reflected in the article will be analyzed from the point of view of Apple’s 2017 commercial “Apocalypse” (Shouts, 2017). The advertisement shows how dependent people have become on devices and applications and how forgetful they remain of the processes of production (Billig, 1999). Instead, users focus on the benefits provided by the product, which makes them rather surprised to find themselves in a world where applications no longer exist. Consumers largely concentrate on the functions of goods purchased and opportunities that the latter allow. As Billig (1999) remarks, the primary goal of consumerism is the production of meaning. Meanwhile, both adv
Introduction Jonathan Edwards was born in 1703 in America. He was a good child at his birth and had an interest in sciences, intellectual issues, and spiritual matters. He studied theology after his graduation at the age of 17. During this time, he preached and tutored at Yale while serving together with his grandfather in the Northampton ministry. After his grandfather’s death in the year1729, Jonathan took over the sole leadership of the congregations. This was when he gained a wide group of followers as a result of his forceful preaching looped with powerful logic in his communication to his congregation. John Singleton, on the other hand, was born in Boston in 1738, about thirty-five after Edwards had been born. Copley had an interest in art, where he enjoyed portrait painting of all kinds. After his birth, his stepfather Peter Pelham influenced his work a great deal. As a result of this influence, he painted both the young and the aged with his emphasis on the setting as the only tool that he thought could illustrate the desired mood in the portrait. This made him gain the great support of those that he sent information containing his portrait of painting. As a result, Singleton had various invitations both locally and internationally, which made him gather support to tour these places to practice his expertise. Similarities in the Wors of John Copley and Jonathan Edwards Both Edward and Copley had role models who motivated them in the initiation of their work. Edwards had his work influenced when he worked in partnership with his grandfather and Solomon Stoddard in 1727. Similarly, Copley was influenced by his stepfather in the painting profession. This provided a good foundation for the development of their work and in their personality. During their work, these two characters left their native lands to be refugees in Boston. Copley had portraits of John Hancock, Samuel Adams, and others. Though he lived in Boston, he got wearied when he realized that painting was only valued because it was useful in craft information. The demand of the public on only concerned with ideas in arts in 1774 made Singleton go to London. This gave him an opportunity to gain experience and, on his return journey, had a grand scale of historical religious painting. Edwards was similarly dismissed in 1750 by his congregation from Northampton. This was as a result of his stern conditions on religious beliefs and his inability to bend
Introduction Nature in its broadest and original use refers to the biological, chemical and physical worlds whereas natural environment includes all things naturally found on earth, both animate and inanimate. Man is an integral part of nature and cannot live outside the natural environment as he depends on it for virtually everything. He “is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, the food he eats, and the flow of energy and information” (Spirkin, 3). As such most of man’s activities has been and is in response to natural processes in an effort to get maximum utility from nature and enhance its productivity to meets the many human needs. In the human evolution, nature played a pivot role in either advancing it or impeding it. Spirkin further notes that man’s direct reliance to the nature lessens as the society develops and becomes more enlightened. For instance, the society ceases to entirely rely on land for their household food such that man can live on processed food. The technological advancement results in man indirectly becoming more dependence on nature as most of his activities are focused on matter, energy and information. A classic example is the over reliance by the affluent populations on the electric power for lightning, cooking, refrigeration and for use in all other electric appliance. Yet electricity is produced from nature i.e. water, dynamo etc. Positive impact of science and technology on nature “Science and Technology have also been the greatest forces for beneficent social change in human history and will continue to be needed to solve the economic and social problems of the future.” (Baez, 1). Man has not only colonised the habitable part of natural environment, earth, but
Introduction The proposed virtual business named Copious.com and aimed at selling online party supplies is a profitable project. In order to convince angel investors of its feasibility, it is vital to present the planned operations and finance strategies to receive funding. Therefore, the company will succeed if the virtual team manages to elaborate thoroughly on the essential strategic components of activity and provide comprehensive financial data. Components of an Operations Strategy The first consideration is the principal components of an operations strategy, which should be clearly defined for inspiring confidence in the investors. In the case of Copious.com, they include the production system, facilities, design of items, technology, resource allocation, and layout (Blaschke et al., 2017). Thus, a competitive advantage can be ensured if all these elements are developed. It means that the virtual team should include them in a strategic business plan and explain how these aspects can affect profitability in the long run. A Service Blueprint and its Importance Another area, which deserves particular attention when proposing a new project or, as in the situation of Copious.com, a new business, is a framework of a service blueprint. This concept means that a company should visualize the essential operations and optimize them for a better experience for all participants and clients (Blaschke et al., 2017). It is usually presented in the form of a diagram, which depicts the connection between the components identified above and the efficiency of their combination during the work process (Blaschke et al., 2017). A service blueprint is important for the strategic business planning process because it shows the investors how managers are going to address emerging challenges when some elements are not functioning properly. A Sales Forecast and an Operating Budget The task, which follows the definition of components and their operation through applying a service blueprint model, determines sales forecasts and operating budgets. These notions reflect on the financial aspect; meanwhile, they are different in their purposes. Thus, a sales forecast is the expectations of business owners regarding future profitability, whereas an operating budget is a plan developed to achieve specific goals (Ni et al., 2019). Both concepts are vital for the company’s future and advantageously complement each other. Projected Balance Sheets, Profit and Loss, and Cash Flow Statements The above financial factors are accompanied by projected balance sheets, profit and loss, and cash flow statements, which are important for the strategic business planning process. Thus, the projected balance sheets show the type of assets owned by the company and their value, whereas profit and loss reports demonstrate the corresponding indicators over a period of time (Anil et al., 2019). In turn, cash flow statements contain information regarding funds related to the operation, investment, and taxes (Anil et al., 2019). These documents are essential for understanding the expected business’ position on the market. The Importance of Financial Projections The final cons
