Introduction The injuries sustained by athletes can pose a serious threat to the career of these people. The critical task is to develop and adopt effective strategies that can minimize the risk of such events or at least reduce their effect on the performance of an athlete. This paper will focus on the use of yoga and soft exercises as the techniques that can be useful in achieving this goal. In particular, one should focus on the physiological effects of these exercises. Much attention should also be paid to the psychological benefits that these practices can bring to athletes. Finally, it is necessary to discuss the financial costs and impacts of injury-preventing methods. Overall, yoga and soft exercises can be helpful in minimizing the risk of various traumas and relieving the stress experienced by professional athletes. Physiological Effects Professional athletes are more exposed to the risk of different traumas and injuries; to some degree, this threat is an inherent part of their work. Nevertheless, researchers and medical workers argue that many of these problems are preventable (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017). Moreover, their adverse effects can be reduced if proper precautions are taken (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017). To a large degree, the success of professional athletes depends on their ability to use appropriate injury-preventing methods. Yoga is one of the alternatives that athletes and coaches should consider. It should be mentioned that some benefits of this approach have been confirmed by researchers. For example, one can refer to the research carried out by Polsgrove, Eggleston, and Lockyer (2016) who argue that the use of these exercises is critical for increasing the flexibility of muscles. These scholars report that yoga enhances muscle torque which is useful in avoiding different injuries (Polsgrove et al., 2016). Moreover, it helps people to alleviate pain in low back and reduce muscle soreness (Polsgrove et al., 2016). The authors also point out that yoga can assist athletes in increasing shoulder flexibility, knee bend, and hip extension (Polsgrove et al., 2016). One should mention that yoga incorporates a variety of soft exercises that are needed for stretching tendons and muscles. To some degree, they can increase a person’s preparedness for various situations that sometimes result in injuries. The beneficial impacts of yoga on the physical health of a person are described by other researchers. For instance, in their book, Kisner, Colby, and Borstad (2017) recommend yoga as one of the t
Introduction After-hours clinics and urgent care centers are essential healthcare providers for city residents. Such clinics are usually available in the evenings, holidays, and weekends, when other healthcare clinics are closed. The main task of that centers is to provide top-quality treatment when the primary physician’s centers are closed. The main feature of urgent care centers is that they provide cheaper care than traditional hospital emergency rooms. However, this market is extensively overrepresented in the US. According to Statista (2021), there were more than 9000 urgent care centers in the US in 2019. To attract customers, the centers should have well-defined managerial strategies. The two most fundamental suggestions are the proper choice of location and extensive presence on the Internet. Possible Solutions for the Attraction and Retainment of Customers The earliest decisions of urgent care centers are critical to continued success. The main thing is that such centers should analyze the possible location of the center. As Ginter et al. (2018) argue, “the location of the health care provider will impact the number of people who seek its services” (p. 330). It is especially important for urgent care centers that want to open in metropolitan areas. Because of the significant competition, the centers need to find a place close to residents’ homes and will suit the demand of the particular region. In particular, the center’s managers should conduct demographic research of the region’s population where the healthcare center wants to open (Ginter et al., 2018). This measure will help understand whether hypothetical future clients need additional infrastructure to provide after-hour medical care. It will also clarify the proportion of minorities in the total population of the region. For example, if the region has a large Hispanic population, the health center should hire staff who can speak Spanish. In other words, the healthcare strategic managers should provide healthcare equity and cultural competencies to their center. Another suggestion is to put a lot of effort into the presence of the urgent care center on the Internet. Nowadays, it is the most effective method to improve healthcare center’s recognition in the local metropolitan communities and retain customers. First of all, the urgent care center should create an easy-to-use website that will provide all the necessary information about the location, opening hours, prices, and so forth. The most important here is to add the tool for creating an online appointment with a physician and make the site mobile optimized. Secondly, the urgent care center should consult with an IT specialist to help the medical center become more in demand on the Internet. The reason is that it is common practice whe
Introduction The Middle East region has witnessed massive importation of arms and human capital from nations in Europe, Asia and the United States of America which has been used as a strategy of pursuing political and economic interests as well as initiating reforms believed to be lacking in the region. According to Fisk, the Middle East region has experienced rampant importation of arms in addition to the fact that its military expenditure is comparatively similar to demographic and economic size (21). Various studies of the region indicate that since the Afghan War of 1978-92, the demand for weapons to equip regimes, initiate reforms and bringing new order in the Middle East have caused many nations to gain interest in supplying arms and human capital in Middle East as part and parcel of offering the required services. As explored in this paper, the array of interests that the United States of America as well as some nations in Europe have in the Middle East have led to massive supply of both arms and human capital into the Middle East region. However, those interests are affected by Arab-Israel conflict and the tensions between the Arab world and western economies. The Middle East region has so far attracted a lot of international attention in various aspects over the years. Due to the protracted conflict that has dominated the region for a long period of time, several studies have been used to investigate the cause of the unending conflict between the western world and some nations in the region. Such studies have dwelt on the economic, political and social aspects that drive the Middle East region as a whole. The resultant studies have also attempted to define the region from the dimension of capabilities, potentials, expenditures and international trade practices. As such, past statistical evidences have pointed out that this region is highly unified in terms of trade and consequently its business practices are within specified territories. Citing the accelerating cost of resources such as petroleum and minerals, the Middle East is characterized by intensive use of other resources in exploitation and protection of these natural resources. As a result, there has been increasing demand for human capital for utilization and maintenance of these resources (Gause 1). Given the high demand for human capital and defense against the prevalent insecurities in the region, it has become clear that a lot of money has been spent on labor and defense industries. Basing on how this region carries out trade, it has also been found out that there are a lot of economic benefits that lead to attraction of external interests. Acquisition of foreign human capital thus becomes relevant with a view to understand how much is spent in terms of hiring human resources. Due to the kind of violence experienced in
Alcohol consumption is one of the problems which exists in the modern society. It seems usual to meet a company of drinking youths who have chosen this option as a way for entertainment. The harmful effect of alcohol has already been discussed for many times. People are aware of hepatocirrhosis and other consequences of alcohol consumption. It is important to remember that alcohol consumption is regulated by different policies in the countries, but it does not mean that all people are law-abiding. The problem of consumption of alcohol by adolescents is not limited to medical problems related to different types of body injures. Psychological issues are also important and may carry more harm for developing and growing organisms. Therefore, the main purpose of the discussion is the consideration of the developmental problems raised by the alcohol consumption during young age and the factors which influence adolescents’ choice in favor of drinking as the central psychological issue for youth growing up and becoming personalities. Supportive environment in the relation to drinking There are a lot of different factors which influence adolescents’ choice in favor of drinking. Multimedia is the main source of information. Watching TV, listening to the music, reading newspapers, or searching information online people meet different types of advertising which try to convince them to buy a specific brand of alcohol. Using different marketing practices, the alcohol producers try to make advertising and branding the central promotional means of the delivering their products in the society. The rate of alcohol consumption by adolescents is dependent on the advertising and other marketing practices (McCreanor, Greenaway, Barnes, Borell, & Gregory, 2005). Many advertising campaigns use alcohol as a part of youth culture. Watching the same ad very day, people are influenced and want to taste it. Youths are aware of the alcohol harmful effect, but at the same time, they also see a company of people who consume this product and remain successful healthy, etc. Following an ad, many adolescents just try to find their place in the world. Even though some policies prohibit selling alcohol to people under some specific age, the understanding of alcohol as a part of adult culture remains. Becoming older people will consume this product as even if they had not tried it when they were too young, they are sure to consume it in elder age (McCreanor, Greenaway, Barnes, Borell, & Gregory, 2005). Isn’t it the main purpose of advertising and promotion strategies: to recruit youth in the future rank of consumers? Drinking in movies is one more factor that influences adolescents’ understanding and perception of drinking as the part of youths’ culture. There are a lot of movies where advertising of alcohol brands is involved. Such advertising is indirect and has wider audience as advertising of alcohol on TV is forbidden in some countries up to specific time when most youths are already sleeping. It is really exciting that “the extent to which alcohol represented in movies with a PG-13 rating was often indistinguishable from R ra
Nowadays, the Internet becomes one of the main sources of information. People do not need to read books or buy some special manual if they want to get the information about some object or notion. The Internet supplies people with the data, which very often cannot be found in some other sources. However, there are also some risks connected with this way of obtaining knowledge. Very often, the data, which can be found in the Internet, is not authentic. Sometimes, it happens just because of the lack of knowledge. In such cases a person can be misinformed and have some problems connected with the wrong data. However, there are also cases when the information is changed on purpose. These cases are more dangerous and they affect the credibility of the Internet. These data corruptions are made for different reasons. First of all, people, who are responsible for these fakes, want to promote their services or belie their rivals. The Internet is a very powerful remedy for the information transfer, that is why, it is possible to predict that number of such fakes will grow. There is also the practice of posting fake reviews, which is also dangerous. People try to trust different opinions which they find in the internet as they think that people, who write reviews, just want to share their experience. Reviews of different kinds are, probably, the most important factor which influences a persons attitude towards different objects. That is why, fakes can destroy the image of this instrument and the Internet in the whole. Resting on these facts, something should be done in order to change existing situation and protect people from wrong data as it promotes development of mistrust to modern technologies. “We have just returned from a long weekend at the Relais Blu. We made the hotel our base to exploring Naples and the surrounding Amalfi coast. Because of its somewhat remote location I would recommend a rental car – from Naples International airport it is a 45 minute car ride. The hotel is small with only 9 rooms, which makes it a very personal place. The staff, specially Constanzo, was very attentive and sweet. The food was great – Christoph, the chef – prepares great servings. The views from the property are great from every room – I recommend a drink on on the terrace in the late afternoon – it offers a great view of the island of Capri. The hotel is so lovely that it was hard to drag ourselves away from it at all. We’ll definitely be going back there!” ( Relais Blu Belvedere, n.d., para.1). “We had reserved 2 luxury rooms with double beds for 2 families. We were traveling with 4 children under the age of 7. We checked in late and were told they had no more rooms available. The only thing available was a BEAUTIFUL Penthouse which we could have for the same price. They probably could have apologized and refunded the money leaving us to struggle looking for another hotel but they didn’t. Very happy with hotel. Definitely an experience we will never forget” ( Riviera Hotel and Casino, 2015, para. 1)
Health assessment is one of the most sensitive phases of the nursing process. It lays the foundation upon which subsequent procedures can be conducted successfully. Every individual is entitled to the highest possible quality of health and nothing should be allowed to compromise this right (Jarvis, 2008). However, the day-to-day encounters of life may pose a great challenge to the maintenance of good health. Medical professionals usually take this fact into consideration during health assessment procedures. The essay discusses occupational health assessment and how it can be used to enhance the quality of health. Occupational health refers to a specialty in the field of medicine which is concerned with understanding the interaction of individuals’ health with their respective work (Acutt & Hattingh, 2008). It seeks to explain how work can affect people’s health and also how ill health can affect the effective execution of their responsibilities. Doctors usually handle a number of people who have health concerns related to their work. They may either be sent by their employer or bring health complaints on their own which are work-related. The physician will therefore be forced to conduct a thorough assessment of the situation. This is what is referred to as occupational health assessment. Occupational health assessment involves the examination and evaluation of an individual by a medical professional with an aim of establishing the relationship between the worker and the nature of work performed by the person (Harrington, 2002). The doctor examines the role of the individual in the place of work as well as their historical background as far as their work is concerned. Cases of prolonged illness and hence the absence from work have prompted employers to seek occupational health assessments for their employees. Most employers seek occupational health reports before employing an individual while others require that their workers go for occupational health check-ups on a regular basis. There is also the need to know the main reason(s) for seeking medical attention particularly with regard to the nature of health complaints (Jarvis, 2008). This process takes place long before any physical examination is recommended or conducted. These assessments are generally geared towards determining the fitness of an individual to perform a given job. Apart from examining a person’s fitness and suitability for a given task, an occupational health physician may recommend specific improvements to the working conditions for the sake of workers’ safety and effectiveness. Doctors can even make visits to the workplace to ascertain the conditions and to judge whether they are fit for the employees (Harrington, 2002). Some working environments may pose health hazards to the workers who may end up falling seek due to exposure to these hazards. Occupational health assessment has proved very useful in ensuring that employees are protected from potential health hazards in their places of work. It helps in detecting health threats in advance to prevent any further health r
Every organization has certain aspects which make it a different workplace than the others, if the internal setting of an organization is crafted in a diligent manner then this serves as a competitive advantage as well because then the firm functions in a smooth manner, and hence it becomes relatively easier to attain the organizational objectives. The harmony and the coordination amongst the departments is one thing which really affects the performance of the organization; each department has to understand the issues faced by others, this makes the whole work environment an ideal one. If one delves the organizational structure and organizational culture of the leading firms then he can easily comprehend that both these factors do contribute to the final outcome in a positive manner; the role of the top management has to be a proficient one in this regard as it is primarily its responsibility to build the structure and culture of the company. The organization in which I am working also has a distinctive set of organizational traits. The flow of information within my organization is pretty smooth as the interdepartmental relationship is exemplary, the head of the departments hold meetings on fortnightly basis to discuss the issues faced by each other in detail, these meeting help in understanding the problems from the view point of other departments, and then the managers devise coordinated strategies accordingly, the united efforts made in this regard have been phenomenal and this is one aspect which has increased the performance of the organization as a whole. As mentioned above that the interdepartmental harmony is present in my organization so there is no alienate between the employees as well, hence the information flows smoothly throughout the whole chain. The top management also has an open-door policy so the employees do not feel any problem in discussing the matters directly to the ones who are concerned and who have the authority (Martin, 1998, p.125). The managers of different departments also hold meeting within them in order to chalk out the daily plans and hence small disputes get settled at the initial stages; in sum, the vertical and horizontal relationships in my organization are immaculate therefore the flow of communication is pretty smooth. The management is fair to the employees and hence there is no hostility between the management and the employees this is also one of the major reasons of the smooth flow of communica
Purchasing Power Parity The theory of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) suggests that currencies should be compared based on the premise of the differences between the levels of domestic and foreign inflation rates (Shapiro 2014). PPP should be seen as a notion that is parallel to the depreciation of domestic currency since it helps to indicate whether two specific currencies are in equilibrium at present (Shapiro 2014). Therefore, PPP is typically seen as an important element of financial analysis. The notion of PPP is often conflated with the law of one price, which posits that differences in exchange rates create the grounds for making financial forecasts in the financial context. Interest Rate Parity Unlike the PPP framework, the Interest Rate Parity (IRP) implies that the difference between interest rates of two currencies is equal to the forward exchange rate thereof (Shapiro 2014). The proposed way of viewing alterations in the interest rate contributes to the management of challenges associated with the location of future exchange rates, locate the current interest spot rates, and changes in the foreign exchange rates (Shapiro 2014). IRP is typically considered to be one of the essential notions that allow studying equilibrium economic relationships in a specific market. As a rule, two types of IRP are identified; these include covered and uncovered ones based on whether the no-arbitrage condition could be used for contract-related agreements. International Fisher Effects The International Fisher Effects (IFE) is another constituent of the analysis of equilibrium economic relationships. The IFE is defined as the theoretical framework that allows analyzing economic disparities between exchange rates of two different states (Shapiro 2014). Particularly, the IFE theory posits that there is a direct correlation between the exchange rates of currencies of particular states and the nominal interest rates within the countries under analysis (Shapiro 2014). As a result, depreciation of a particular currency can be identified, allowing one to take appropriate measures to address future financial and economic concerns. Fisher Effect The Fisher effect allows locating the connection between the real interest rate and the nominal one. Particularly, according to the Fisher effect, the two are equal when taking the levels of inflation into account, which implies that both are reduced significantly once inflation levels rise within a particular state (Shapiro 2014). By adjusting the real interest rate, one can determine the pace of the economic growth within a state, thus outlining the further changes that may need to be made to improve the economic situation (Shapiro 2014). Furthermore, the income that loans produce for lenders can be located with the help of the Fisher effect. Covered Interest Arbitrage Since investors face a range of risks in the context of the global market,
