The aging process confers many limitations on any organism which is affected by it. Many structures within the body eventually become brittle and unstable, and skeletal structure is one of the major systems that is affected by aging the most. The weakening of bones in one’s organism is called osteoporosis, and it is a major global health issue. This essay discusses the possibility of slowing down or preventing osteoporosis. As the human population on average became older, health complications that become regular late in life turned into a massive problem. The process of aging includes the degeneration of skeletal mass, which makes older people more susceptible to bone breaks and fractures (Chin & Ima-Nirwana, 2016). Several causes affect the bone structure in older people, such as hormone deficiency, inflammations, and oxidative stress (Chin & Ima-Nirwana, 2016). Osteoporosis is often encountered in people with unhealthy lifestyles who were not educated on the potential diseases from it. Thus said, some of the factors that cause osteoporosis are preventable, and their effects are reversible through proper diet and exercise. To lessen the severity of this health problem, it is crucial to convey the impact that healthy food and a moderate amount of physical activity have on health. To achieve this effect, governments across the globe must modernize their community health programs (Nguyen, 2016). Nguyen (2016) suggests that “increasing calcium intake and weight-bearing exercises” are the primary methods for rising bone density (p. 19). Moreover, the study by Chin and Ima-Nirwana (2016) suggests that “live polyphenols have the potential to be developed as bone protective agents” (p. 9). Therefore, by promoting a healthy lifestyle and explaining the importance of exercises among communities that are the most prone to the development of osteoporosis, this disease can be prevented. In conclusion, it is possible to reduce the rates of osteoporosis among the older population. However, people need to make significant changes to their behavior, which is troublesome to implement and make it become the norm. Nguyen (2016) recommends that “more research is needed to investigate further and advance the effectiveness” of community health programs (p. 30). Higher accessibility of calcium-rich products and physical education among older people could be the answer to that. In the meantime, merely raising awareness about the issue and promoting healthy behavior can prevent some cases of osteoporosis. The safety of water is a necessary step in the establishment of a healthy population. Access to pure water is not a simple precaution, and it is one of the fundamental human rights. Modern civilization has developed numerous ways to decontaminate water efficiently. However, it is still challenging for people in some countries to obtain pure water, and sometimes these contaminants can appear in more developed countries as well. People need to understand what inorganic contaminants can be found in water, what health issues they can cause, and what are the primary methods for their treatment. This
Women being the key players in child care and development have resulted to joining the labor force because of the financial pressure facing families and changes in societal roles for the female gender. However no matter what the reason is, it is affecting today’s child development enormously, this is because children have social needs that have to be met and this can be best done by a parent and not a day care program or a nanny as that is the system currently. Parental employment has led to children being enrolled to schools before they are ready for it and due to this many of them get discouraged and disoriented because of the school system and hence drop out at an early stage. If they do not get encouragement or support to go back to school they grow into adulthood where they begin a life of struggling in order to survive trough any means hence, all the vices characterizing today’s society. Children lacking parental attention tend to take drugs in their adulthood because they feel desperate and unwanted hence seeking refuge in narcotics. This children also often become very defiant and antisocial, th
Introduction Standards for organizational performance are a critical constituent of any company’s HR policies. Allowing an organization to set quality criteria, performance expectations, and the notion of organizational excellence into the target setting, a firm will foster the notion of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in its staff members and convince them to follow corporate ethics and values during decision-making. In the environment of a small manufacturing organization, the principles of recruiting employees, particularly establishing the standards that new recruits will have to meet, will imply revisiting corporate goals and values, as well as reassessing the challenges that staff members face in their daily routine. Thus, sensible set o standards will be designed for employees. Knowledge, Skills, and Expertise The number of errors made during the manufacturing process should be seen as the first ground rule to establish in the context of a manufacturing firm. The use of social media as the source of important information about potential staff members should also be seen as a necessity. The described principle will allow an HR manager to become familiar with a candidate’s approach toward social interactions and, therefore, their ability to function in a team (Ferjani, Ammar, Pierreval, & Elkosantini, 2017). The lack of cooperativeness may have a tremendous effect on the outcomes of a production process, including a rise in the number of defects. Therefore, the specified criterion is also important. However, by far, the most significant guideline for testing whether a candidate is suitable for the job in the target manufacturing company will imply exploring their skill level. The described parameter of assessing applicants will require asking several questions that concern general o specific aspects of the job in manufacturing for which the interviewee is applying. The assessment of one’s ability to make decisions in a setting that limits one’s time and resources should also be deemed as an important aspect of the assessment process. The criterion in question suggests that a staff member should be able to select an appropriate course of action, should the need arise, address a certain workplace issue. Since in manufacturing, the speed of decision-making and the location of the solution define the end result, the characteristics such as critical thinking and effective decision-making should also be included in the evaluation. Knowledge, Skills, and Expertise The skills of working with manufacturing equipment should also be regarded as essential. Representing the basic skill set that a staff member in a manufacturing organization has to possess in order to qualify for the job, these include the actual ability to operate the equipment used in the organization and the ability to be attentive to detail (Liu, Wang, & Leung, 2016). While the former can be tested with the help of a simulation that involves managing a typical workplace issue, the latter should be performed by providing a candidate with a
Disasters damage the built environment, and they can also result in the loss of lives. In other words, they are associated with mild or severe consequences in the short and long run. In today’s world, given an increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters as well as a shrinking economy, I think the public would like emergency planners/managers to follow structural mitigation. One of the key differences between structural and non-structural mitigation costs; structural measures are more costly than non-structural actions. However, structural prevention methods provide relatively high levels of protection since they act against natural forces, through the establishment of facilities such as dykes and dams (Hayashi, Suzuki, Sato, & Tsukahara, 2016). The public would like disaster managers/planners to utilize structural mitigation because they move natural forces rather than relocate people. Some of these strategies have been successfully applied to build urban centers along with coastal locations or along with areas through which water pass. A real-life example of a structural hazard prevention strategy is the water mitigation system that enables Los Angeles to withstand storms (Hayashi et al., 2016). On the other hand, although non-structural mitigation strategies are less expensive, they work alongside natural forces, through land acquisition and resettlement of people away from areas that have potential risks. These acquisitions and resettlements are realized through the execution of land regulations and zoning programs. The programs intend to take the population and property away from locations that are either affected by hazards or are thought to be potentially risky. A real-life example of this type of mitigation is the beach nourishment that replaces ferried sand along the coast to retain equilibrium and, consequently, prevent natural disasters (Hayashi et al., 2016).

The love of a good woman is a story in a book written by Munro. Love, sex, and gender are the themes that the narrator has tackled in the story. The narrator breaks down the story into three different parts that keep the reader in suspense. The first part is about three boys who find a dead body in a car inside a river found locally in their area, they fear breaking the story to the people, and one boy after going home and reading some comical books gets the courage to tell the mother about the dead body inside the car at the river. The narrator talks about Enid who is a nurse and an immediate neighbor to the person found dead by the three boys. The tone used by the narrator is painful. Enid who does not impress her mother with her profession, which is dealing with death and caring for the bodies of dead people, lives a middle-class life, having in mind that she lives in a small town. She is depicted as a responsible and caring woman. She gets a responsibility to look after a woman married to one Mr. Quinn whose kidneys have failed and is dying as a result of being poisoned by the acid being discharged. However, she looks immoral because she finds herself getting attracted to Mr. Quinn which comes as a result of caring and being cared for. The bad dream about sex makes her feel guilty and makes her wonder if she is a good woman. This shows how society perceives love and sex. Suspense is indicated in the second part. In the small town, bad things are seen to be happening especially when Enid discovers the one who murdered the man who was found by the three boys. This leaves Enid’s entire life in danger as the police and the ones in charge of the authorities have to be informed about the murderer and she is the only one who can inform them or else the murderer will never be revealed if she does not report. This shows how the government is irresponsible and those who are supposed to maintain peace break the rules. In this part, she decides not to reveal the truth about the murderer. The love of Enid makes her risk her life by deciding to tell the man who killed the person to present himself to the police. She does not portray selfishness and does not take any advantage of the situation at hand. Also In this case Enid does not fear even though she is a woman and talking to a man who can easily harm her. This shows the difference in gender treatment. She at no cost fears gender imbalance. She loves her nation by trying to keep and maintain peace and an environment free from crime. To conclude, Enid reveals her good love in everything she does starting with her passion to care about dying people even though her mother was not comfortable with her doing that kind of work. Her love as a good woman is clearly shown by Munro in her novel. Enid can therefore qualify for the title “love of a good woman” for she truly is a good woman and shows love in everything she does. This shows the title has be
It should be stressed that the nursing service system and nurses, in particular, should be considered as the archetype of Human Caring and Love in the World (International Caritas Consortium, 2009). According to Jean Watson, the founder of a non-profit organization called Watson Caring Science, the nurse of the world should be united to revive the veritable nature of healing and caring through love and to retrain this precious source of love for caring within professional nurse team members. By organizing the Global Caring Field Project 2010, she attempts to introduce a new professional model of nursing at the international level. According to Earl Bakken, the inventor of the pacemaker, the nursing caring/healing practice should combine kindness and tenderness, unity and harmony, honesty and sincerity, humanity with modesty, and patience and persistence. The practice should also involve learning, sharing the experiences, and understanding the challenges and triumphs of each other to realize the actual essence of nursing. The professional model nursing provided by Jean Watson is based on uniting the nurses all over the world under the auspices of Love and Care. Moreover, the nurses should learn to offer humanity and care to those who are in extreme need of this assistance. According to Jean Watson, all people who decide to dedicate themselves to this profession, should “come together into this open field of possibilities to clear energetic space where miracles of inner and outer Caring and Healing occur for [them]selves, for [they’re] loved ones…human and world condition” (Jean Watson Travels the World to Invite You to the Million Nurse Field Project, 2010). In other words, each nurse should be filled with the feeling of compassion and love for patients, which is the best way to heal their disorders and diseases. Finally, Watson states that the caring science is enclosed with the Chinese proverb which unites caring, light, and peace in the world: “If there is a light in a soul, there will be a beauty in a person, if there is a beauty in a person, there will be harmony in a house. If there is harmony in a house, there will be order in a nation. If there is an order in a nation, there is a peace in a universe” (Watson, 1999, p. 269). In the order to succeed in the nurse profession, it is necessa
In her book, Sargeant pays attention to discussing the role of salons and music societies in the cultural and social life of St. Petersburg in the nineteenth century. It is important to note that the spread of Russian music tendencies in the country depended on the activities of salons, societies, and circles known as ‘kruzhok’ because representatives of different social classes were interested in music, and they shared the information about popular musicians and compositions actively (Sargeant 22). It is an interesting fact that the activities of aristocratic salons were extremely important for the music sphere because influential persons could promote preferred musicians, composers, and singers. As a result, professional musicians and amateurs were often known in different circles, and the information about them spread quickly. From this point, the development of the Russian music in the nineteenth century depended on trends adopted in elites’ circles, as well as in the street music. The impact of the public’s opinion on the growth of musical tendencies seemed to be quite unique because debates in the circles could influence the further development of trends and perception of the certain composition (Sargeant 24). One more important feature is the popularity of home concerts among different elite circles. It is interesting to note that the musicians who participated in home concerts of the nobility or in salons’ concerts had a chance to become famous in St. Petersburg. In addition, the activities of some aristocratic families in the sphere of promoting music among the public were very significant, and they contributed to creating the Philharmonic Society and the Symphonic Society that added to the development of specific music tendencies in Russia.
The survival of all companies and organizations largely depends on the critical decisions and strategies adopted by the management to survive any economic situation and therefore remain a successful and profitable entity. However this cannot be achieved without having a competent human resource to deliver the company objectives and operations, hence a given company will require employers creating a employee- employer relationship. This relationship is very vital and should remain professional with all the stake holders involved acting in accordance to the work ethics as provided by the company. The employers therefore have a duty to uphold the integrity of the company while the employees have a duty to perform according to their mandate. Therefore if all this is maintained, an organization will run successfully while meeting its daily objectives leaving both the employer and employee very satisfied with their work and the company running successfully. (Vandome 2004, 45) However this may not be always be the case, there are many situations that will always arise whereby the employer may feel that certain objectives of the company are not being met due to some king of hurdles associated with a certain employee. It therefore calls for the employee to terminate the working relationship they had in between them. However there are many hurdles that prevent this from happening as there a lot of red tapes that govern how an employee should be fired. Due to this fact, there are many unions and organizations, governmental and non-governmental that oversees this exercise in order to ensure that an employee is not fired due to discrimination. To a certain extent, these organizations do play a vital role in ensuring that the minorities or any disadvantaged group is not victimized by a more powerful entity, in this case the employer. Due to this, the Australian government has constantly urged and advocated for the right s of all workers to join trade unions in order to ensure that their rights are protected (Australia Commonwealth Bureau of Census and Statistics 2006, 142). There are many different stakeholders involved in the business world of any given entity. These stakeholders are; the Government, Employees and their Unions and the employers who represent the management. All this stakeholders play a vital role in ensuring that there is a balance achieved between the employer and employee whereby an imbalance would affect the different stakeholders adversely and differently. Should there be an imbalance, the government will have a weakened economy, while the employees would lose their source of livelihood and businesses would collapse as seen in the recent economic recession whereby due to some negligence of some stakeholders, the world economy was greatly affected negatively. Nevertheless, these different stakeholders play different roles in ensuring that there is a balance between each stakeholder (Stalker 1997, 25) Firs
Dealing with Zara Company Would you send a half empty truck from Dubai to Oman? Why? Sending a half empty truck from a certain place to the destination can possibly be reasonable once the final venue of destination is located close to the initial place. In the supposed case, the use of the transport and the gas can be justified by certain motivations of the company. However, when speaking of such distanced places as Dubai and Oman, one must admit that sending half of the possible freight is a completely groundless waste of time and money. Would you pay airfreight thrice a week to India? According to the video in question 1 , there is no use in paying for the transportation of goods to India twice a week, since paying once for the entire transportation should be a much more sensible approach. Therefore, paying airfreight to India thrice a week cannot be considered a wise decision and cannot be made by any company manager. It would be much less complicated to pay for the entire transportation beforehand, thus, allowing the company to cut on certain expenditures. Would you move your unsold items after 2 weeks out of the store? Even though certain goods do not sell well enough, moving the latter from the store triggers another costs that will not be compensated unless the store increases the price of each goods offered. Since the latter will trigger the customers’ dissatisfaction, it is desirable not to move the goods from the store, but sell them with considerable discounts, in case the goods are not food. Hence, the company will be able to make for the losses at least partially. Would you outsource for cheaper suppliers? Explain? Outsourcing cheaper suppliers does seem rather efficient way for a company that would like to develop a rewarding tactics in the market and obtain considerable revenues. Therefore, it is recommendable to choose cheaper suppliers. However, it is worth keeping in mind that the company’s reputation often depends on the suppliers, which means that neglecting the quality for the sake of the cheap supplies is not a way out. Therefore, a golden mean is to be found. Sinosteel Co. Strengthening What do you understand by Enterprise Resource Planning?

Introduction The provided Power Point presentation proposes a number of methods which can be utilized in order to create a coalition between units of various types, be it countries, governmental or non-governmental organizations, or other entities. The described methods are rather Machiavellian in style, offering practical advice which may allow for directly capitalizing upon weaknesses of certain parties and turning these weaknesses to one’s advantage. It is clear, however, that the parties one interacts with may also employ Machiavellian-style methods, so it is important to be prepared and “armed” in order not to suffer from losses. The Need for Analysis It is clear that to utilize these methods, one needs to carry out a detailed analysis of the party or parties one is intending to interact with and is considering the possibility of allying with. Such a scrutiny should be conducted prior to negotiations, and also ought to be supported by further analysis during the negotiations. This should be done in advance, so that the issues are formulated in a convenient way, and before someone else shapes them in a way which is bad for one. Conducting an Analysis For instance, it is stated that common interests between parties should be sought, and that complementary aims should be identified. Clearly, this should be done prior to the meeting in which discussions will take place. Another example is shaping the ag
