Rooftop Packaged Units Rooftop package units or RTUs are created with portability in mind. Thus, every unit is factory charged and are self-contained systems. As a result, there is no need to bring in an installation crew to install the customary refrigerant lines and perform perfunctory checks on the unit. Also, users have the option of configuring the RTU as a single circuit or multiple circuits. It is important to take note that in a multiple circuit set-up, the unit utilizes at least two refrigerant circuits. In most cases, the said packaged units are usually installed in a building’s rooftop. Thus, the acronym RTU was coined to signify a rooftop unit. In a typical building, several RTUs are installed to satisfy the structure’s cooling requirements. Thus, it is important to label the RTUs, creating an efficient way to track and monitor each corresponding thermostats. This monitoring scheme is employed so that technicians are not going to have a hard time linking a thermostat to its mother RTU. Installation of RTUs In a typical scenario, technicians install RTUs directly above the space that requires cooling or heating services. However, some locations do not allow a conventional set-up process. Locations are selected based on certain standards that prevent the entry of contaminants and ensuring a high level of air quality flowing through the ventilation system. Aside from considering the position of the RTU about walls and the building’s interior corners, it is also imperative to follow clearance guidance and the prerequisites dictated by information in the RTU’s installation and service data. It is also important to consider the technician’s ease of access to the said RTU. Technicians must have easy access to all aspects of the RTU to deal with repair and maintenance concerns. Economizers RTUs are usually equipped with economizers. An economizer is a mechanism that enables RTUs to reduce cooling costs by allowing cooler outside air rather than forcing the compressor to do all the cooling work. Economizers possess the capability of measuring the dry-bulb temperature and the actual heat content or the enthalpy of the outside air. In other words, the sensors are not only able to measure the heat content of the two airstreams, these sensors are also able to compute the difference between the outside air and the air inside the building’s occupied space. The process of allowing the cooler outside air into the building is called free-cooling. Dual Enthalpy Sensor An RTUs enthalpy sensor is comprised of a solid-state temperature and humidity sensors. The dual sensors work in tandem to regulate the flow of outside air into the building. The best type is the dual enthalpy sensors that measure the heat content of the outside airstream as well as the airstream within the building. If a system is limited only to the use of a sensor that measures the outside air, the free-cooling phase is initiated once the enthalpy of the outside air drops down to a predetermined set point. The said value is based on the cooling requirements of the building or workplace. Ashrae Standard 62 The Ashrae Standard 62 is the
Abstract This study examines B2B and B2C approaches that are used by businesses and other organizations in their day to day operations. The research proposal has suggested interviewing and secondary data methods in identifying the concept and principle behind B2B and B2C websites. Consequently, the paper has explored the contribution of social media like Facebook in business expansion, enhancing competition as well as assessing their impacts on successful running of businesses. The study further elaborates the methodology and research design that will be used in the final project as well as the findings and recommendations that need to be put into consideration in future researches. Introduction The use of websites, software and social media has gained momentum as a growing trend in the business world today. Different organization involved in businesses have significantly embraced the use websites for innovation and improving efficiency in operations. Regardless of awareness or location a business, websites connects teams and communities much easier and quickly due to their mode of working, roles and needs. E-commerce, which involves the use of websites to transact business empowers employees, partners and customers through delivering efficient business results and breakthroughs (Tojib & Sugianto 50). They also engage and connect business professionals with customers by building networks. Different types of commerce require particular websites. It is against this background that this paper will present a project proposal of two types of e-commerce namely Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business to consumers (B2C). Aims   * To investigate the use of B2B and B2C in e-commerce   * To determining sectors of the market that use B2B and B2C to transact business   * To identify present website use in different market segments Research questions   * What is the role of technology in underpinning the whole customer experience through social media through B2B and B2C?   * Is the social media marketing platform the right technology for businesses with B2B and B2C websites? Literature review Business-2-Business (B2B) Business-to-Business is a term that is used to refer to business transactions carried out between retailers and wholesalers, or between wholesalers and manufacturers (Balocco, Mogre & Toletti 245). B2B transactions in a supply chain are normally at a higher level and involve raw material or associate components. For instance, the B2B transactions that would be carried out by BMW, an automobile manufacturer, would include buying rubber hoses, glass for windscreens and tires for vehicles (Rowley 530). Additionally, B2B has is being used by most organizations for collaboration and communications through social media. B2B Website Com
Introduction IKEA is a Swedish company that was started by a seventeen-year-old boy in 1943. This company specializes in the manufacture of home and office furniture. The company has experienced consistent growth, and is currently considered the world’s largest manufacturer and retailer of furniture. A number of challenges in the local market have faced this company, but it has managed to counter these challenges successfully. IKEA has expanded beyond its local market in Sweden. This firm has established a very strong market in the United States and the entire Europe. The firm is the largest retailer of furniture in the United States. Although some firms have offered it stiff competition in the American market, it remains the leading manufacturer and retailer of home and office furniture. This firm is also one of the major employers in the United States and in the world. The firm has a large plant in Virginia. The locals were happy with the fact that the firm opened a branch in this city. This was a sign that there would be an increased source of employment to the locals. The entry of this firm into this city also meant that the locals would be able to purchase the products at reduced prices. This was a reason good enough to warrant a celebration. The firm met the expectations of the locals. It offered job opportunities to the locals and the prices of the furniture in this region generally dropped. The society benefited because of the incentives that this firm offered the society as part of its corporate social responsibility. The firm was fast becoming a darling to the Americans. However, not all was well after all. The Case The employees protested against the strategy adopted by the management. This resentment spiraled in March 2011 when employees went public about the discriminatory policies that the leadership of the firm employed in Virginia. The labor laws in the United States clearly states that employees should be given opportunity to choose whether they would like to work overtime. In this firm, the choice is not in the hands the employees, but instead it is the responsibility of the management. The management dictates whether an employee would work overtime or not. It becomes worse when employ
The research in question was conducted for the purpose of finding out whether cognitive dysfunctions create poor participation in heart failure treatment. Thus, researchers have analyzed data by selecting people with chronic heart failure. The difference that was being examined was between patients with low Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores vs. regular ones. Based on the findings, researchers came to the conclusion that cognitive functions are linked to participation in heart failure treatment. Thus, individuals with low MMSE are less likely to follow up with the outpatient recommendations, while those with high MMSE are more likely to follow the plan recommended by the healthcare provider. The research question is whether cognitive dysfunctions are associated with lower participation in outpatient treatment in patients with heart failure. The researchers have determined a hypothesis. Based on the statement, which has been the initial assumption, impaired cognitive functions correlate with a lack of participation in the treatment of heart failure. The frame in which the structural concepts of the research were placed fits the study itself. Specifically, the authors have looked at data from patients with heart failure based on medical reports. Then, these individuals were assessed based on MMSE guidelines and placed in two categories. The contrast between the two allowed researchers to come to comprehensive conclusions. The study itself relies on quantitative data without the inclusion of prior research in the form of a literature review. It was omitted due to a certain gap in information when it comes to this particular research question. While the authors provide several references, there is not enough data on cognitive functions as a direct correlation to non-participation or participation in heart failure treatment. Thus, there is a need for this study due to the importance of covering topics that are rarely discussed in scientific articles. All the gathered data and examined patients were from the Sahlgrenska University Hospital. Those over the age of 65 with a diagnosed heart failure were selected for the research. There were more than 1050 screenings, and 157 of the assessed individuals participated in the actual study (Ekman et al., 2001). Researchers have excluded patients primarily due to communication issues as a result of severe dementia. As mentioned prior, the initial sampling objective was looking for individuals with heart failure. The next step was to determine the cognitive abilities. Thus, MMSE was administered, and patients who scored 27 and lower were identified as
Introduction This report is based on budgetary forecasting is aimed at measuring the general performance of the company’s ability to generate revenue. The budget would help users to get an in-depth understanding of the company’s future profitability, cash generation, and efficiency with which it is utilizing its assets to generate sales revenue. For the management, their objective would be on how to improve on poor areas and maintain good performance. Its intended users are the management of the company. The sources of the figures used have been provided. Budget Forecasting Report I have carried out analyze of various budgets and find it viable for the firm to produce the said units but the price should not be adjusted downward. See the appendix for the budgets. While preparing the budget a number of issues were realized. In the apportionment, all the departments were getting a portion of more than 50,000 before further apportionment. In the apportionment, the machine department received 125,728 of the total 1,012,150 while the assembly and treatment departments got 58,243 and 62,340 respectively. This is the key production department which is the core department s for the survival of the organization. Out of the 1,012,150, the rest went to support departments and fixed cost departments like the central department, research and development, and marketing. Material handling, purchasing, and maintenance departments which support departments for all other departments were further sub-divided or rather apportioned among the department.This three department had received 62,868 ,87,716 and 145,686 respectively. The figures for purchasing department were apportioned as follows:- 28,291, 3,143, 6,287, 18,860, 3,143, 1,886 and 1,257 for production control ,inspection ,maintenance, material handling ,central administration research and development and marketing respectively. The cost from material handling was also apportioned into a machine, assembly, treatment, production control, inspection, maintenance, material handling, central administration research and development, and marketing at 35086, 17543, 8772, 0, 4386, 8772, 0, 0, 7017, 4386 and 3509 respectively. While maintenance was apportioned into 39335, 24767, 32051,8741,13112,10198,10198 and 7284 for machine ,assembly ,treatment ,production control, inspection, central administration, research and development and marketing departments respectively. Production control and inspection departments which had 1,083,85and 1,285,87 was apportioned into production departments. The inspection department was apportioned into equal in all departments of production because all the products were assumed to pass all departments. The production control department was apportioned into the production department as 38537,57805and 12043 for the machine, assembly, and treatment department. This overhead which was subdivided into this department was further apportioned into various products.i.e. product 1, product 2, and product 3. After apportioning these overheads into various departments and taking into account costs associated with direct material and direct labor for each product. A unit
The main idea of this article purports globalization as a phenomenon imposed by few in order to enforce on the rest, economic domination. However, like every phenomenon it has helped improve the general standard of living of many which has certainly come with strings attached to it. Globalization has been considered a machine of growth by some and some blame number human miseries on globalization instead. The article considers the general progress globalization has brought with it which includes increased global output, GDP, per capita income, life expectancy rates, literacy rates etc. Globalization and its sought after benefits to the world economy had lifted the world from the prevailing poverty levels that created history. Human progress, technology and globalization form a virtuous cycle as a result. The article includes three benefits of globalization which include working less, producing more since it brought with it prosperity and the same commodity costs lesser in terms of hours worked by a worker in the twentieth century which is comparatively much better than during the nineteenth century. Second, a thriving middle class which is a component of economic, political and social stability that comes with globalization and this class promises increased national income, growth, better infrastructure, health facilities, less civil wars and more of democracy. Third, lesser inequality which is confirmed by the human development index which shows closing income inequality gaps between developed and developing countries. The impediments to continued progress or globalization are protectionism, armed conflicts, environmental stress and demographic imbalances which have further hampered the progress of globalization and its benefits. These are contents of globalization only since it has its pros and its cons. Globalization has its negativities like drug-trafficking, civil wars corruptions etc. But globalization is a necessary phenomenon for economic domination in the world (Marber). The three important facts to support the main idea are the contents for global progress, the benefits of globalization and the evils of globalization (Marber). List of important terms include, globalization, economic growth, poverty, trade liberalization, unemployment, living standards, purchasing power parity, deflationary effect, free market economy, cross-border transactions, GNP, income comparisons, Gini coefficient and human development index (Marber).

Introduction The boxer rebellion was a nationalist movement by the Righteous Harmony society in China. The uprising took place between 1898 and 1901. The aim of this movement was to oppose foreign imperialism and Christianity in China. The rebellion was against the foreign powers that tried to establish spheres of influence in the region. Other pressures included economic exploitation and political invasion among others. There was fear all over that the missionaries, who were increasing in number, would snatch the land from the Chinese, who refused to cooperate and hand it over to the church. This move led to the revolts against general foreign invasion. The China’s Imperial Army revolts were instituted targeting groups like the soldiers and Christians living in China. Other targeted groups included the civilians and foreign diplomats in China. The war lasted 55 days and ended when the eight nation alliance sent 20,000 troops to China. These defeated the Imperial Army and the boxers and captured Beijing. The Boxers The westerners and their influence on China faced a great opposition with the emergence of the Boxers. The boxers included was comprised of religious, social and anti-imperialists groups, which worked together to oppose the westerners who were gaining prominence in the region. In times preceding the boxer rebellion, the group gained support of Chinese Imperial court and Army. Consequently, their activities against the west were considered legitimate. The boxers were triggered to war by the west’s creation of an informal empire in China. By the early 1890s, the bridgehead along the coast had been held under the foreign powers rule. This was targeted to give avenue to the economic penetration in the area’s mainland. The number of Christian missionaries and the power they wielded over China was increasing. Finally, there were a number of natural disasters that caused great conflicts in the region that translated to real war. Image Makers These comprised of a number of groups interlinking China and the West. They were tasked to gather information about the happenings in North China. They would then process and deliver this information to relevant authorities. Image makers from the western side included journalists, cartoonists, photographers and military observers. Those from the Chinese side were a few journalists, who worked for pictorial publicat
Introduction The overall impact of increased intensity has a major impact on a number of factors, such as heart rate, temperature, skin color, sweating, breathing rate, and recovery. The most evident element, which is in a tight correlation with the stress level, is heart rate. The observational analysis indicates that beats per minute measurements start from a base level of 114 and increase up to 180. The body temperature was measured pre-exercise and post-exercise, and it stayed the same at 36.6C. Skin color also underwent significant changes beginning with normal coloration and undergoing light pink and pink colorations as the intensity progressed. Main body It is important to note that sweating never reached high levels, but a moderate degree could be observed during the stress level of 18. The breathing rate also went in accordance with intensity, where a low value was assigned for normal rate, and high deeper breathing was seen at level 18. Therefore, it is evident that the given bodily changes were normal reactions to increased physical exercise intensity. Heart rate elevates in order to pump more blood to muscles, which are being deprived of vital elements, such as oxygen and glucose. It is stated that the heart rate and its variability is primarily impacted by physical exercise intensity values (Michael et al., 2017). Although the temperature was measured only pre-exercise and post-exercise, it is clear that there was an unmeasured increase during the exercise. However, its effect is severely minimized by sweating, which plays an essential role in ensuring that the body los
Introduction Mental status implies various orientations. In particular, it encompasses such factors as attention, intelligence, memory, emotions, perception, and many other aspects. The purpose of this paper is to discuss three different diagnoses in relation to the mental well-being of patients and diagnostic tools to help in identifying them. Alzheimer’s Disease Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic illness that has a progressive nature. In this condition, cells of the cerebral cortex die. The death of neurons affects a person’s memory, and his or her capability to orient in time and space is suppressed. Moreover, the patient’s personality (and his or her behavior) also changes. The symptoms of this disease are various. For example, a person can experience memory loss or have difficulty completing normal tasks. In addition, patients can complain that they cannot find the right words to express their thoughts. The main risk factors for this disease are increased cholesterol and high blood pressure. Also, diabetes and tobacco abuse can cause the development of this illness. Cultural influences may affect the way the disease is perceived. For instance, “cultural constructs prevalent in older African Americans may influence their risk perceptions and knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease” (Rovner, Casten, & Harris, 2013, p. 133). Therefore, the beliefs of people can delay the required treatment. As a rule, Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS) is used to detect the disease. A two-part scale helps specialists to evaluate patients with cognitive difficulties. In terms of the diagnostic tools, several instruments can be considered helpful. For instance, the neurological examination is quite effective. It allows detecting the presence of neurological disorders in the patient. In addition, Memory Impairment Screening is another helpful instrument. It can be applied to other conditions apart from Alzheimer’s disease. Dementia Dementia is an acquired illness. It is caused by an organic lesion of the brain. Its symptoms are strong changes in the mood and apathy. In addition, patients may have trouble expressing their thoughts. Apart from that, confusion is another symptom frequently met in dementia patients. The risk factors in this condition are cardiovascular diseases, alcoholism, infections of the central nervous system, and other illnesses. Cultural influences are mostly related to dementia recognition. However, as noted by Hanssen (2012) “reactions and responses may be co
