Introduction Money has been an important part of different economies for millennia. It took various forms, but in the last few decades, there appeared a new type of this phenomenon – electronic money. It can be of different forms and is often more convenient than paper money. However, there are several hazards and challenges related to the peculiarities of the use of e-money. After defining what electronic money is, we will proceed to discuss those challenges and the possible ways to deal with them. Definition of Electronic Money Before starting to speak in detail about electronic money and the challenges it poses, it is important to understand what money is and what electronic money is. First of all, it should be pointed out that money is any type of phenomenon which is conventionally accepted as a universal carrier of value, or “any generally accepted means of payment which is allowed to circulate freely and be used without any reference to the credit standing of the person who uses it” (Good 11). It is interchangeable and does not depend on personal perceptions, opinions, or evaluations of any single given individual. We wrote that money is “any type of phenomenon” because money can be not only a physical object (stones, coins, paper banknotes) but also e.g., a certain part of computer memory stored on some remote serv
Introduction Different types of ecosystems constitute the biosphere that is why people can find themselves within various ecosystems which function according to many ecologic laws. That is why, it is important to examine properly the qualities of ecosystems. According to Hollar, “an ecosystem consists of a biological community and its physical environment” (Hollar 2011, p. 66). To understand the particular features of the ecosystem’s development, it is necessary to note that “ecosystems are categorised into abiotic (able to live without oxygen) and biotic (oxygen-dependent) components” (Hollar 2011, p. 66). Thus, the purpose of the investigation is to examine the biotic and abiotic components of the definite ecosystem found in the Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne, and to pay attention to the interactions between the components. The other objectives are to examine the ecosystem’s properties and to discuss the specifics of the energy flow and chemical cycling. Methods The place under the study is the territory near Cook’s Cottage in the Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne (the territory N 24 on the map). The Fitzroy Gardens are located in East Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The park can be discussed as the south-eastern territory of the Melbourne Central Business District (CBD). The territory near Cook’s Cottage was chosen because the cottage is situated in a vegetable garden where there are many different kinds of grasses and herbs to observe in a single territory. The territory is known for the ‘chamomile lawn’ where various types of the English herbs are presented. The characteristic feature of the garden is the focus on the herbs typical for Great Britain and Northern Europe ( Cook’s Cottage Garden n.d.; Fitzroy and Treasury Gardens n.d.). The ‘chamomile lawn’ was chosen for the observation as the example of a specific ecosystem. The active observation was used as the method to examine the ecosystem. The Fitzroy Gardens was visited on 29 December, 2012. The time period of observation was 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. Results and Discussion Biotic Components of the Ecosystem The main biotic components of the ‘chamomile lawn’ in the Fitzroy Gardens are grasses and herbs. The number of herbs in the ‘chamomile lawn’ is more than of grasses because of the lawn’s purpose to present different kinds of the English herbs. The species-area relationship is presented in Table 1. The results in on the chosen area were compared with the results on the near-by area, and it is possible to speak about the similar shape for the two areas within the ecosystem as it is presented in Figure 1 and Figure 2. The areas are rich in such medicinal herbs as Pot Marigold and Sage and such herbs as Fennel and Hyssop. It is possible to predict the species richness for a sample area of 20 m2 in the ecosystem and state the prevalence of Pot Marigold and Sage as the main plants an
Introduction The development of a hotel is a critical initiative. Particularly, this relates to its effect on the tourism sector. Usually, such development projects require a comprehensive analysis. Adequate investigations are necessary in these initiatives. These assist in the processes of decision-making and policy formulation. Therefore, for projects to create the desired effects there is an eminent significance of the analysis. Communication of the results of these investigations to the relevant audience is appropriate. In this case, the report discusses potential factors involved in the development of hotel X. The paper explains the various processes of identification of particular risks associated with the project. Apart from this, it discusses the mechanism of risk ranking applied in the process. Lastly, the paper highlights on the monitoring mechanism applicable for various risks identified in the project. Identification of the Associated Risks There are several risks involved in the development of hotel X. The risk-recognition process entailed the application of a diversity of initiatives. This assisted in the outlining of diverse risks. For instance, there was a classification of areas deemed to be affected. These included both the negative and positive impacts. The classification assumed major categories such as environmental, human, social, economic and aesthetic factors. The development of the risk matrix occurred in consideration of the following outlined categories. Some of the detrimental construction processes of hotel X were identifiable through this mechanism. The pollution from operations onsite had negative impacts to the communities and the general biota surrounding the area of development. Economic impacts involved the huge expenditures incurred. These involved procuring of appropriate materials and the sponsoring of the development processes and human resources. Another risk identification process involved the engagement and participation of the public. Through this initiative, the project development team came up with a needs assessment criteria. Therefore, the various thoughts on the project from the public emerged. Indicatively, the process enabled the identification of other implicit effects of the project. The classification of the risks followed a matrix method or criteria. Empirical processes involving real time data analysis and interpretation also include other methodologies applicable. Principally, this concerned the physical risks likely to be encountered by humans and the entire environment from the development process. An application of case profiling procedures was eminent in the development process. The methodology led to the identification of unique or distinct risks associated with the entire process of the development of hotel X. These processes revealed critical lessons and considerations appropriate for the develop
In “Habitual” by Nate Marshall, as the title implies, the poem describes the psychological issues of habits that construct human lives. The narrator opens the poem with the expressions of controversial existence. Indeed, Marshal purposefully uses simple but grammatically confusing constructions, such as ‘I be, but I don’t is’ written in all small letters to emphasize existentialism and the flow of thought. The habits that the narrator deals with make him beloved and unloved at the same time, as well as being in the dirt and never wanting to stop. The poem demonstrates the complexity of the habitual aspect of addiction.
Productivity is what managers demand from their employees no matter what. However, it is necessary to understand that any work team needs to be carefully motivated especially during an economical recession. People are likely to have their working abilities adjusted to their fears and overall situation in society. Although it is hard to keep every single employee in a good work shape separately, well-performed motivational techniques may enhance a group’s working abilities greatly. There are various Organizational Behaviors that contribute to how successful a company is. More important is how successful one within a company is. There are the two most essential components that have to be taken into consideration: the motivational behavior and stress factor. The latter two are used to denote how successful a person can be dealing with stress and being motivated, of course, with the help of the company that is likely to provide good conditions to its employees in order to overcome stress. However, there is another side of the stress present within the working process. An interesting fact is that a good manager will be able to use stress positively. Namely, the eustress used wisely may cause enhanced focus on a work goal and arousal of extra energy, which also results in a good work performance eventually. Of course, the number of stress factors is enormous nowadays in the globalized society of the Unites States. For example, 75% of Americans consider their job stressful because of the downsizing throughout many companies of the country. Another reason for stress is a position taken by a person that does not fit his/her type of personality. Providing the example of how Microsoft Company treats the employees will explain one of the best motivational techniques used to make the employees achieve successful results within the recession period. One of the motivational techniques used by Microsoft is employee empowerment. Microsoft is one of those famous companies known for innovations in technology and staff treatment. Having over 4,000 millionaire employees, Microsoft does not pay much attention to the pay rises as motivational techniques. However, what matters is conveying the importance of every person within a company. For that Microsoft gives an opportunity of recruiting new members of the team by experienced employees. The statement made by Microsoft executive “The mantra “Spread the Love,” which speaks to employees spreading the word about Microsoft, as well as the recruiting organization giving back to our employees to enable and recognize their ambassadorship” speaks for the utmost of trust of chiefs towards their employees (McLeish, J. 2008). What is more important is that Microsoft realizes that employees make the company, without people company cannot exist, that is why the power is given in order to exercise it by employees for the prosperity of the company. It is essential to note here that this kind of motivational technique brings fruitful results in terms of an overall fear of downsizing. People get more motivated knowing that they are not only out of the downsizing process, but also control the process of hiring others because they
Data collection within organization is vital especially in supporting Human Resource Management Systems. Data management is the science of collecting, analyzing, and properly storing data in line with the laws and regulations controlling data monitoring. Thus, this analytical treatise attempts to explain concept of data management especially on the facets of data collection, storage and accessibility in the department of Human Resources Management (HR). Scientifically, the process involves modeling unified data to provide accurate and single view of activities within the HR such as training, recruitment, compensation, performance, and employment management. For instance, ‘oracle leverage optimal workflow circles’ in multinational companies ensure easy and accurate accessibility of stored records within the shortest time possible. However, the major reasons for collecting HR data are to meet stringent legal requirements such as personal details of workers, number of workers, salaries, hours of service, and medical condition. Often, companies are obliged to give accurate details to governmental departments whenever there is a need. Besides, data stored in the HR server is essential for protection of company against claims in court of law. Since details of each employee are kept intact, proper documentation would paint a clear picture for every complaint registered. [1] The two types of data collected by HR department include the Operational Information Data and Tactical Information Data. Under Operational Information Data, HR management team should be conscious of it arrangement and storage medium. This data exist in the form of HR profile records and includes organization dependent and personal information of the employees such as sex, name, address, citizenship, marital status, seniority data, salary grade, minority status, employment history, retirement, experience, and education level. Besides, the records collected may be inclusive of special preferences by employees. In addition, the data captures skill inventory for each worker. In some cases, it contains information surrounding test scores, work experience, preferences, interests, and proficiencies or special skills. Besides, government reporting and compliance data avail information as indicated by laws that facilitate monitoring and observing compliance within regulations. These government initiated regulations aim at reducing costs and improving productivity. For instance, job analysis system provides data on guideline compliancy, safety measures, and relevancy of skills for every department in an organization. Generally, data contained in the Operational Information System include information on position control, placement, and application, performance management information, and compliance to government standards information. [2] On the other hand, Tactical HRIS provides support information to managers on decision making process such as design and job analysis, development and training, and compensation plans for employees. Generally, Tactical HRIS data capture information on recruitment, design and job analysis, benefit and compensation, and development and em
The park occupies four thousand two hundred acres of land comprising forty-eight miles of Upper Piedmont river together it separates fourteen units of land along the river. Chattahoochee River National park is the habitat of many wild animals and plants (Benez-Secanho & Dwivedi, 2020). Riverbank forests are home to foxes, wild turkeys, and white-tailed deer. Squirrels, chipmunks, and river otters are also present. The amphibians such as black rat snakes, copperheads, midland water snakes, and eastern kingsnakes can best be observed in late spring. Ponds present to provide a natural habitat for minks, wild ducks, and beavers. Meadows, hardwood forests, steep ravines, and river flood plains are all present. Chattahoochee River provides great reaction opportunities and historical information. Cochran Shoals unit provides a suitable landscape for cycling and is perfect for watching wildlife. Also, picturesque areas are present in the park for rafting and boating as well as trout fishing (Benez-Secanho & Dwivedi, 2020). In person, I am yet to visit the park, but from the published materials, interaction with friends who have been there, and watching videos, I am conversant with it. The river preserves the ecology by sustaining animal and plant life. It provides clean drinking water to animals, both wild and domestic, and the vast population of Georgia. Wildlife is preserved as the river offers a natural habitat for wild animals. Vegetation plays a significant role in environmental hygiene. The river, therefore, is essential because of its mosaic habitat (Taylor et al., 2018). Chattahoochee River park steers both regional and national economies. It is a primary tourist attraction site, and this provides the economy with revenue that can be used in economic development. People’s lifestyles are being improved as the park offers sources of employment for the people. Water supplied by the river is used in irrigation, thereby aiding agricultural production. The river also provides water used in generating hydroelectric power.
Introduction In 1913, the American College of Surgeons was put in charge of assuring that hospitals met minimal standards of care. At the time no hospital could do that. They developed standards that hospitals had to meet. By 1951 3,000 hospitals were accredited by them though they could barely meet the minimum of the standards. In 1951 this Hospital Standardization Program became the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. They initially used the ANS standards. They are now succeeded by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. For many years everyone knew when the Joint Commission was coming to do a survey and the preparation was extensive. However, now the Joint Commission makes unscheduled visits in hopes that there will be an effort to be continuously ready and the quality of healthcare will be that good all of the time (McLaughlin & Kaluzny, 2006). This paper will discuss the methods being used for continuous readiness. Preparation Preparation for the Joint Commission must be done in such a way as to maintain continual interest by the staff, maintain quality, provide history for new policies and keep the hospital prepared (Groper, 1999). This means that those of us that manage must also try to be inspirational and try to keep it interesting. Many hospitals have tried many different ways to do that. It is a serious enterprise because losing one’s accreditation is serious but it can also be fun and interesting. One hospital in Vermont had different kinds of contests all over the hospital. These included huge crossword puzzles and survival games. In each of the contests, there was a need to answer the questions that JCAHO normally asks and get them correct to survive. The prizes were fairly simple such as lunch coupons, special parking space. They did quite well when JCAHO did show up and so they have continued their survival game as a continuous readiness method (Walter, 2002). St. Joseph Hospital in Atlanta Georgia was the first health organization in the United States to go through the unannounced survey. It happened in February of 2004. The survey went very well and the staff came away from it feeling like the new process was much better than the old and more relevant to patient care. This, of course, included the tracer process (Comeau & Lowry, 2005). The tracer process is the process that many hospitals have adopted to provide for continuous

I think that the relevance of this source is expressed in how it presents tourism from a socio-economic perspective, which can be especially informative for tourists interested in budget traveling. Moreover, the target audience of the book includes travel agents, marketers, and consultants, which allows an understanding of how tourists are perceived in the modern tourism sector and how to avoid hard-selling of touristic services. Therefore, the ideas presented in this source may be used for describing the contemporary tourism sector in general and creating an image of a modern tourist. Oskam, Jeroen A. The Future of Airbnb and the “Sharing Economy”: The Collaborative Consumption of Our Cities. Channel View Publications, 2019. The book by Oskam is a comprehensive description of Airbnb as one of the most popular vacation rental platforms. The author focuses on the “sharing economy” of this particular online marketplace and discusses its hidden practices and impact on the accommodation sector of business. It can be suggested that the goal of the book is to provide an understanding of how Airbnb functions and warn prospective guests about its disadvantages, such as issues related to social inequality. The source is connected with the topic of budget traveling in Europe because Airbnb is considered one of the affordable platforms for renting accommodation. Some of the chapters cover the peculiarities of the “sharing economy” in the European region in particular. At the same time, not all travelers are aware of the hidden disadvantages of Airbnb accommodation, especially ones related to economy and social sustainability. Moreover, the book was published in 2019 and represents the current reality of the vacation rental sector. To summarize, the book focuses on Airbnb in the broader socio-economic context in different regions, including European. Plumridge, Nardia.
