There are different seasons in the world and each has got its significance as well as particular characteristics that make it unique. In most cases, there are four main seasons in a year which are inclusive of winter, summer, spring and autumn. Since all seasons are different in various ways, this essay shall describe winter and summer being two seasons which are marked by the extreme weather conditions. Due to the weather conditions, life is quite different as there are certain activities and aspects that characterize each season. Bent on that, this essay shall give a description of life in winter and in summer focusing more on not only the activities but also on weather and clothing. Summer is a season that is marked by the relatively high temperatures. Days in summer are usually longer than the nights because the sun always rises up early. Consequently, people wake up earlier, work for long hours and end up accomplishing much. Due to the hot weather, people have to put on light clothes as they cannot make it to be on heavy clothing. Generally, life is more enjoyable in summer and people are more energetic to perform their daily activities. However, such kind of a life is not enjoyed in the countries that lie near the tropics since temperatures are extremely hot in such places. Working indoors and outdoors is no different as it is quite uncomfortable in both cases. For instance, working indoors requires the help of air conditioners while working outdoor is also very problematic because people have an added responsibility of protecting their skins from the hot temperatures which are quite hazardous (Advantages and disadvantages of cold weather). Winter as highlighted in the introductory part is a season marked with cold temperatures as well as by short days and long nights. Although the term is rather subjective, its beginning is marked by winter solstice which takes place exactly on the longest night as well as the shortest day in each year. Due to the cold and chilly weather, people as well as animals are very inactive and hence the reason why most animals hibernate as they are not able to continue with their daily lives due to the cold weather. Plant life is also affected since most plants cannot thrive in extremely cold temperatures. People have to put on very heavy clothing to generate and maintain warmth. Activities that people engage in are also meant to generate heat. However, there is also some fun since the season gives people a chance to engage in wonderful activities like skiing and children enjoy playing with snow and making snow balls. In conclusion, it is important to mention that winter and summer are all important seasons in each year as they have different impact in the life of individuals. Although both terms are subjective, they do take place interchangeably such that when it is winter at the northern hemisphere, it is summer at the southern hemisphere. Both seasons are marked by different weather conditions which in turn determine several aspects like activities and the clothing that people wear in each. Temperatures in each season determine the type
Mobile health is one of the four modalities of long-distance healthcare delivery. The applications for mobile health typically monitor the patient’s basic vital signs, provide specific tools for personal healthcare management, contain personal data that could be accessed and used to establish a personified plan, and enable direct contact between the patient and the doctor by using video, audio, or text-based channels (Weinstein et al., 2014). They also contain various information that could be used in healthcare education. The advantages of mobile healthcare technology are numerous. It enables a doctor to monitor their patient’s vitals, provide prompt healthcare advice, and empower customers to take care of themselves by using the gadget most commonly found in their possession (Weinstein et al., 2014). Smartphones are very ubiquitous and can be used in a variety of situations, which is helpful for individuals suffering from various disabilities, such as memory loss. At the same time, the two significant disadvantages of the technology involve security and reimbursement for care provided using telehealth. Should a smartphone be lost, all personal data may fall into the wrongs hands and later be used to exploit and blackmail the individual (Marcoux & Vogenberg, 2016). Even when all safeguards are in place, there is a chance of accidental exposure of personal medical records to the patient’s family members, friends, and third parties. At the same time, doctors providing telehealth are rarely reimbursed for the time and expertise provided through mHealth channels (Marcoux & Vogenberg, 2016). An example of telehealth use of smartphone applications can relate to dieting and personal exercise. An app can remind the patient to perform various activities or calculate the number of calories consumed every day. Another potential application of mHealth is in geriatric care. Specialized applications could be used in nursing care to remind older patients to take their medicine or provide a medium for immediate consultation, should a problem arise.
Modern world has been experiencing various political conflicts for several decades already. Countries from different parts of the world tend to find themselves in difficult situations, where the economic system is going into a collapse and the politicians cannot take it under control. This normally brings very negative results. Depending on the time it takes the political leaders of the country to fix the situation or at least create an illusion of fixing it, the social tension in the country starts to grow and mass dissatisfaction has a chance to occur. This is a brief description of some of the causes that served as the basis for the disorders that are being observed on the territory of Ukraine. For several months the revolution in the country has been bringing people to the gathering, meetings, and actions of protest, which often resulted as massive fights with many victims. In the very beginning of the strike the politicians avoided addressing the conflict. The demands of the public were not met, as a result the level of aggression in the society grew, and the situation got worse. Several attempts to take the revolution and mass disorders under control were not successful. The President’s best reaction to this complicated issue was a quick escape. Several months after that the country is in even worse condition, the national army is fighting the protesters in the South-East using tanks, battle helicopters and machine guns. The country is unofficially divided into two conflicting sides with absolutely different views, desires and ideologies. The leaders of both sides pursue very different political interests . For the last decade, since the times of orange revolution, Ukraine has experienced the occurrence and development of many new political movements . The elections and re-elections happened more often than they were supposed to. As a result, people of Ukraine started to feel indifferent and fed up with political issues. Another unplanned President Election that happened there last month showed voter fatigue due to the fact that some of the significant leading political parties were gone, the electorates could not participate in retrospective voting . The political information spread in the conflicting parts of Ukraine is not trustworthy. Both sides are using propaganda and shift the facts in order to make them more convenient and support the interests they pursue. The appearance of the new president of Ukraine does not seem to be helpful in the process of conflict resolution. The elections were ignored in the South-Eastern regions of the country; this is why people there do not recognize the President, elected by their ideological rivals. Besides, the newly elected Petro Poroshenko is accused of being a political entrepreneur , since he is a well-known business man in Ukraine, who owns large companies. According to
Objective discussion of sexual harassment and mishandling of assaulters Sexual harassment and mishandling of assaulters have become common especially in the modern world. The cases are being reported among individuals of diverse cultural settings and college students. The vice has been in the increase among these groups of people due to the acute moral decay and inconsistent adherence to ethical principles that foster social integration (Kingkade, 2013). This explains why tough measures or rules are being adopted in colleges purposely to curb the rising cases of sexual harassment, especially between students and lecturers. The tough rules that are set with the objective of restoring sanity among stakeholders have made college officials be accused of mishandling sexual assaulters. This is evident since the rules propose tough measures to sexual assaulters whether they are students or staff members. The measures include express termination, revocation of staff member status or studentship, and heavy fines including jail terms. According to Loeb (2013), the measures have been developed in various settings including colleges to ensure that sanity prevails among citizens. Their aim is to ensure that citizens are able to embrace each other in a respectful manner. Various perspectives on the issue and logical framework Indeed, sexual harassment is a criminal activity that is impeding social and economic integration in most settings. It requires mitigation through the adoption of conventional measures that are legally enforceable. This is important since the crime exposes victims to severe effects that compromise their performance. Notably, it is true that most students in many colleges have been victims of sexual harassment from teachers and fellow learners (Gleiser, 2011). It is also true that the assaulters are being mishandled as reported in some literature because of the stringent nature of the punishment that they are subjected to. However, stringent measures are aimed at curbing the spread of sexual victimization. They can be deemed negatively but they form part of the solutions to sexual harassment that is ailing development in our societies. Therefore, it is prudent for individuals not to view the enforceability of the measures as mishandling of sexual assaulters. Personal stand with reference to the topic Ideally, it is important and necessary for colleges to develop stringent measures to curb the rising cases of sexual harassment among students and lecturers. The measures that include the jailing of assaulters, relieving them of their duties among others are credible control measures (Karmen, 2013). The measures should be viewed positively and not as coercive in any nature. That is they should not be deemed as measures to mishandle sexual assaulters. Notably, the measures are fair in con
Executive Summary The significance of social network is hard to underrate. Though the phenomenon is comparatively young, it has already become one of the key tools for carrying out fast, cheap and efficient marketing campaigns. Which is even more important, the use of social networks as a marketing tool allows for reaching to nearly every single social or age group, which is essential for marketing products in the entertainment industry. Though Parmalee, an innovative country bad, seems to have everything to become successful in the realm of the entertainment industry, it still lacks a decent representation in media, which can be carried out by putting a stronger emphasis on its new forms as the key promotion tools. Though Parmalee is a music band, it will be crucial to integrate a range of well thought out and impressive imagery for the audience to relate to and to associate with the band, since most of the modern media is represented by visual content in the first place. As soon as Parmalee integrates such modern forms of media as social networks, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in the first place, it will be possible for the band to design a memorable and colorful promotion campaign. In addition, the fact that a promotion campaign based on the active use of social networks and the related tools is comparatively cheap next to the existing alternatives. Therefore, it is imperative that the social networks band should base its advertising strategy on the use of social networks. Introduction of Music Selection Parmalee is one of the artists, who have an impressive potential, yet remain in the shadow of the brand names that have been advertised in a more successful manner. The artists, though working in a rather common genre, have a distinctly unique music style and are obviously capable of changing the country music by introducing new elements to it and, therefore, helping it evolve. However, because of the lack of efficient promotion strategy, the group may experience a range of obstacles in promoting its music to the target audience. It should be noted, though, that the recent technological breakthrough and the emergence of new forms of media may help advertise the group, therefore, making it easily recognizable and popular among the people enjoying country music. Because of the necessity to avoid the possible costs for the promotion campaign, it will be most reasonable to consider free services allowing for making the band well known. Among the key promotion tools, social networks should be mentioned specifically (Baruah, 2012). Though social networks have been around only for a comparatively short period of time, they have already proven to be one of the most powerful means of information transfer. According to the latest data, most people prefer communicating virtually via social networks, such as Facebook or Twitter, to live communication (Fowdar, 2013). Such tendency may be considered as negative from a sociological point of view, yet, from a marketing perspective, social networks seem to be the treasure trove that needs to
Introduction Several essential factors require careful considerations to ensure the success of business for companies that wish to explore a new territory, which creates the necessity of a good marketing plan. The plan entails studying the territory, exploring its possibilities, and developing or modifying products appropriately to suit the market’s needs. Siemens, an American company, wishes to explore the Saudi Arabian market and the following are some of the essentials aspects the company needs to evaluate carefully. Effect on marketing activities For any company that plans to venture into a new territory, it is vital to consider some important elements including the marketing strategy and the receptiveness of the environment to new products or services. Marketing can sometimes be a complex affair as various variables come into play, most of the time simultaneously. One of the main environmental variables that would affect marketing of goods and services for Siemens in Saudi Arabia would be culture. The official religion in Saudi Arabia is Islam and as such, it naturally dictates the cultural practices for most of the population in the region. Some aspects of Islamic culture are worth considering when developing the marketing strategy. For instance, Islamic culture requires that men provide for the women financially while the women reciprocate by taking care of the household (Long 67). The result is that men form the majority of business owners in the region. Therefore, it would be wise for the company to consider advertising that mostly appeals to the male population concerning products and services as they dictate most of the businesses in the region. The company may also want to develop products and services for women that allow them access from the comfort of their homes. A good example is the use of Siemens’ investment services and financial solutions (Siemens Para.7). Such services allow women to involve themselves with income generating activities without breaching their culture to the benefit of the corporation. Islamic culture also limits women from engaging in the acquisition of property. However, by using investment vehicles such as mutual funds, it is possible for the company to enable the women in the country to benefit from investment activities involving property, without having them directly involved in the transactions. This move would be both empowering and economically sound as it generates income for a large percentage of the population without breaching the cultural dynamics and causing a hostile environment for the company. Another variable that the company ought to consider is the economic environment of the region. Saudi Arabia has a 10.9% unemployment rate according to a survey by Heritage Foundation in 2013. The survey also reveals that foreign direct investments stand at $ 16.4 billion and that the total population in the country is twenty e
Introduction Religion is defined as the way a person views a reality with a set of values and practices they follow while political authority is a group of individuals who possess the power and authority to make decisions on how to govern a country. In most cases, the political authority may not be in agreement with the beliefs of various religious groups and this may lead to conflicts between the two. There is a close relationship between religion and politics. In the situation where a particular religion manages a government, anyone who does not adhere to the beliefs of this religion will conflict with not only the religion but also the government. (Idinopulos) Ancient period In the early days, religion or spiritual beliefs helped to advise governments for instance in China. There have been instances where religion has been involved in legalizing regimes. An example was in China where they believed that a leader came from heaven. This made them only rely on religion to select their leader. In this way, the leader was supposed to be the only one because the belief was that the gods had declared so. In Japan also, religious matters were incorporated within state affairs and the governing regimes at the time used to make decisions concerning religion. The sovereignty would allow the religious leaders to oversee state affairs alongside the governing body. (Brodd) In the early days in Israel, the religious leaders occupied state positions and they were elected just like the government officials. The high priest held the highest national authority. He was responsible for overseeing all the government projects that were in place. In this way, the government worked closely with the religious leaders to maintain and preserve the kingdom. (Idinopulos) The period of the Roman Empire During the period of the Roman Empire, religious leaders were chosen the same way as the Political leaders with the Roman emperor occupying the highest religious office which was referred to as Pontifex Maximus. In the later period of the Roman Empire, the emperors were referred to as divine while they were still alive. During the time of Augustus, the power of the emperor was increased to oversee all the activities of the Roman state and the religious groups. In the Islamic society, the heirs of Prophet Mohammad, caliphs, were the rulers of the kingdom and they ruled with the help of religious beliefs. When the caliphs’ kingdom fell, the successors to the throne stayed loyal to Islam as the religion for the kingdom. (Durkheim) During the 5thcentury after the fall of the Roman Empire, power struggles occurred between the church and the kingdom on which body was supposed to retain the crucial authority. This is where the religious domain began
Reflecting on the life of President Reagan, this book, written in prose form defines the thoughts of President Reagan on various aspects of America from the social, political, security, and the need for appreciation of diversity. Thus, this reflective treatise attempts to explicitly review various thoughts expressed in this book. Besides, the paper is specific on the quantifiable elements as discusses and presents explanation at macro level. This literature is vital in understanding history of America and how the political system operates on the facets f foreign policy evaluation, forging allies and creating foes, and modifying democracy in order to maintain relevance in line with the American dream. As a matter of fact, the foundation of America was laid on the belief in existence of a supernatural being who would bless the nation inform of prosperity and freedom. However, the same freedom liberates the Americans to choose religious inclination as long as the same does not infr
Nowadays, patients want to be aware of all biological processes undertaken in their organisms, check, and detect possible adverse outcomes. To accomplish an elaborated evaluation of their body indicators, they apply to their individual electronic medical record that pictures all test results, ECG diagrams, fluorography testing, and other body evaluation procedures. This in-advanced patient’s awareness concerning their body undertakings raises several controversial matters for further consideration. Researchers cannot decide whether it is rational that patients might also bear responsibility for their health condition by themselves and prescribe treatment on their own, or this patients’ participation can entail their panic. From the doctors’ perspective, it is not sensible to provide people with full access to their EMRs and EHRs because it can stir up their panic and concern. Ordinary human beings are not able to encrypt the test results by themselves due to the lack of particular knowledge. Being curious and anticipating a diagnosis, they might tap into online information repositories to figure out what disease they have according to their results and symptoms. Undoubtedly, the Internet cannot provide a clear-cut picture of undertaking organism processes but might raise alertness and worries rather than present a clear-cut vision. To prevent anxiety among patients, they must be allowed to have full access to their EMRs only after counseling with their doctor, who has already analyzed results and can present a diagnosis. After seeing a doctor, a patient might examine their results using digital copies utilizing EMRS, letting “providers keep accurate track of patient data and monitoring over time” (Albagmi, 2021, p.1).It is a case of collaborative work between a doctor and his patient, stimulating further recovery. EMRs and EHRs are perfect solutions to form individuals’ medical literacy, enabling them to participate in their treatment and recovery process. Working with a doctor collectively implies eradicating all possible treats for a health condition. Moreover, tapping into digital test evaluation provides people with a proper evaluation of positive or negative tendencies acquired in their organisms. EMRs and EHRs are perfect aids in health monitoring, but patients have to resort to them after doctors’ consultation.
