It understands its target customers and identifies the changes in the market for better planning and decision-making. External opportunities and threats and construct the relevant matrices External opportunities The company’s operations and success has been geared by internal management processes, which take advantage of opportunities offered by
Inclusive pedagogy is the approach to teaching which aims to address the individual needs of diverse learners without marginalizing them (Florian, 2014). Following the principles of inclusion is a serious challenge for any teacher. As the research indicates, the inclusion practices in modern education are still lackluster, especially regarding disabled students. One research regarding a Jewish school in South Africa indicates that disabled students were not integrated and instead were expected to conform to the common rules (Meltz, Herman & Pillay 2014). Another research describes the “separatist resolution” as a widespread strategy for students with special needs (Liasidou, 2014). Overcoming these common mistakes and misconceptions is the crucial aspect of building a truly inclusive classroom. Doing so requires excellent organizational skills needed to set clear learning objectives and establish organized classroom routines crucial for successful integration. All in all, the instructor requires the same qualities as any other teacher: communicative skills, capacity for the personalized approach, and willingness to take and analyze criticism. Other than that, establishing a positive climate is essential for successful integration. That objective is challenging as disabled students are often viewed as unequal by others. Avoiding the use of discriminating vocabulary and referring to all students as equal are good strategies to discourage discriminatory behavior (Mitchell, 2014). Overall, creating an inclusive environment requires first and foremost is a good teacher. One should always keep in mind that all learners disabled or not need professional education (Florian, 2015). And customizing your approach towards different students in class is a part of being a good teacher. The biggest challenge in inclusive pedagogy is avoiding accidental discrimination, which can be achieved by collective work, proper language, and avoiding excessive attention towards disadvantaged learners. The research indicates that standardization can be detrimental to building an effective teaching program (Bauml, 2015). That means that adjusting the pacing of your classes is an important part of providing effective education. There are two extremes when it comes to pacing in education: full self-pacing with students setting their deadlines and full teacher control with completely inflexible deadlines set by the instructor (Iravani, Samifar & Zade, 2014). The research seems to indicate that the second approach is generally preferable since students prioritize based on deadlines (Fan, 2014). Strict terms help students organize their learning process. However, finding a compromise is an important part of the individualized approach since not every student can keep a strictly set pace. The issue becomes especially acute when most of the class fail to meet the deadlines.
The uniqueness of microbial groups Among a large number of microorganisms, there are seven macro groups with hundreds of thousands of representatives. These include bacteria, archaea, algae, protozoa, fungi, viruses, and parasitic helminths. Despite their microscopic size, each of the groups described represents a unique biological diversity and is therefore identified as a separate cohort. From all groups of microscopic organisms, representatives of the bacterial and archaean world do not have a nucleus, for this reason, bacteria and archaea are considered prokaryotic cells. However, other membrane organelles, such as mitochondria, are not included in such cells. In addition, these two groups are the most common classes of living organisms, and their habitats are represented by all possible options, from reservoirs to boiling volcanic vents. Some of the bacterial representatives demonstrate parasitic properties such as C. tetani , B. burgdorferi , and S. typhi ( 1a The Main Themes ). At the same time, archaeas have unique biochemical properties, which allows them to use chemical reserves as energy sources. The representatives of this group can be Methanogens and Haloarchaeas. Moreover, parasitic properties are presented at a group of helminths — these are microscopic worms, which have a variety of forms that cause damage to animals. Compared to other groups of microscopic forms, helminths can be considered the most progressive because they have sexual dimorphism and a complex body. Trichinella is a parasite for mammals by settling in the small intestine and Fluke parasites in animals and snails. Other groups of microorganisms, except for viruses, are considered eukaryotes because their cells have a formalized nucleus. Viruses are not living in nature and represent integration between inanimate objects and organisms, which is their main feature. The effect is simple particle structure — they do not have most of the known organelles and the capsid contains only genetic material (Moelling and Broecker 2). Well-known representatives of viruses are Tobacco mosaic virus, Ebola virus, and Coronavirus. Microscopic fungi are beneficial cultures of living organisms for humans: Penicillium and Saccharomyces are used in the production of medicines and culinary products. Fungi do not have chlorophyll, but the cellular structure and features of biochemical processes allow them to correlate with animals and plants simultaneously. Unlike other representatives of microorganisms, fungi are unable to move actively but lead an attached lifestyle. Among all groups, microscopic algae — photosynthesizing plants of the simplest form — stand out especially. Euglena, a transitional form between animal and plant, has a mixotrophic feeding. The majority of algae move with the help of flagellates or cilium. Congestions of microscopic algae are found in glaciers, in snowy areas, in damp soils, but mos
Life is full of struggles which are inevitable to every human being. Growing up is a process in life that requires someone to make decisions and be ready to take full responsibility for all the consequences that emanate from the decisions made. Updike in the short story “A & P” uses Sammy, a teenager who is employed as a clerk in a grocery shop to illustrate the difficulties involved in the process of growing up. Just as Sammy had to make an important decision,n that had severe consequences which were irreversible, so are all the other adolescents in different parts of the world. Updike is aimed at illustrating the whole process of growing up and the struggles therein through narrating the story of Sammy as he works in the grocery shop. To begin with, the narrator appears as a young man who is not only innocent but also ignorant. The growth of Sammy, which later leads to freedom is catalyzed by the entry of three girls into the store. Since the girls are dressed only in a Bikini such that most of their body parts are left bear, their presence in the shop results in different reactions. Their presence affects not only Sammy but also Lengel who happens to be the owner of the store. The way he views the girls is a clear indication of the process of maturity. He begins by only recognizing the physical features but continues to analyze their behaviors as well as their appearance (Kennedy and Gioia pp. 18). He notices that they are different from others since they have chosen to dress according to their liking. More to that, Sammy continues to analyze even the way others are viewing the girls. Since he identifies and is attracted to one of the girls, he gets angry when they are humiliated by the manager. At this point, the situation requires Sammy to graduate from just being an admirer to a protector and a hero. The author also illustrates that growing up and becoming mature is associated with standing for what someone believes and making a tough decision to stand by it. Sammy makes a quick and significant decision of quitting his job or ‘removing the apron’ to illustrate that he was ready to stand for what he believed in. More to that, he is ready to face the consequence for his decision because even though the manager gives him a second chance and tells him that his decision may affect his parents, he does not look back but moves on with his decision. The author tries to signify not only the consequences of moving on with life but also the struggle of the parents while letting go. Sammy illustrates that quitting his job was a sad moment for his parents but to him, it was an achievement altogether and he was not ready to reverse the decision whatsoever (Kennedy and Gioia pp. 19). As much as the critics argue that the only reason that makes the story famous is that the readers identify with Sammy, the author has used first-person narration effectively to help and explain the struggles young people go through before becoming adults. In such a shor
Introduction To examine the problem of transformational leadership and its impact on employees, the researcher developed a comprehensive methodology. In the following paper, the researcher: presents the details of the investigation process such as the characteristics of the participants, the role of the researcher, data gathering and analysis; describes how the selected methodology corresponds with the aims of the research; explains the reason for which this methodology is beneficial. Participants of the study The researcher selected several Saudi Arabian companies as a target population. Overall, three companies were involved. Within these companies, the investigator collected data from employees and managers. The approximate number of participants was 62. The process of selecting participants for the study involved an array of procedures: coming up with the inclusion criteria, eliminating issues associated with contacting managers and employees, interviews and questionnaires’ management, refining formulation of questions, assessment of response rate levels. The inclusion criteria for the participants of the study included factors such as willingness to participate in the study, experience in working in an organization for over three years, availability of free time for participation. The mentioned criteria are supported with the idea that workers had to have experience in working in a corporate environment to understand the factors that go into successful leadership; it was also unethical to force workers to participate, so only those managers and employees who had some free time and the desire to take part in the study participated. The inclusion criteria did not include factors such as gender, nationality, overall work experience, and age since the diversity of the sample group could help with getting a perspective on transformational leadership from different points of view. The researcher assumed responsibility for handling ethical dilemmas that might have occurred during the research process. Among the most complicated ethical problems that would affect the outcome of the research was the issue of consent. To be more precise, defining the leadership styles of the managerial participants was challenging. It was known that managers were likely to withhold the information related to their leadership styles due to their unwillingness to disclose corporate secrets to strangers. To handle this problem, the researcher examined the body of existing psychological literature regarding the behavior of research participants and consulted specialists and research experts (Grbich, 2004). The approval for data collection was received from the heads of the targeted companies, which facilitated the task of the researcher and solved one of the ethical dilemmas. Additionally, the researcher followed the prescriptions of the code of research ethics and considered the ethical rules of the studied companies. In the course of the research, the rights of the participants were respected. The respondents particip
Katherine O’ Flaherty was born on 8 th February 1850 to her parents Thomas O’ Flaherty her father and mother Eliza. Her father was an Irish immigrant and her mother was of French descent. She had many female counsellors ever since she was a small girl. This is shown mainly through the tough autonomous widows in her family and the cerebral nuns in her school the sacred heart academy. She started school at the age of five. Kate’s mother, who was only 27 years old at the time of her spouse’s demise, never remarried after that. Kate learned history, music and how to speak French from her grandmother Madame Charlevile. Kate had a best friend, Kitty Garesche with whom they studied and composed together. In May 1861 a communal combat broke out in St. Louis and Kate’s family was exiled for their co-conspirator empathies and lost her best friend and her brother George. Her grandmother died at the age of 83. Kate lost all her siblings and by the time she was 24 she was a single child. She graduated from the sacred heart academy as a noble student who was also a good narrator and a youthful sceptic. Kate was then assigned to write an ordinary book which became her first composition. At the age if nineteen, Kate met and fell in love with Oscar Chopin, a Louisiana resident with whom she tied the knot on the 9 th June 1870. Oscar’s business fell short in 1879 and he went back to Paris. Kate got familiar with the Creole community a significant focal point of her compositions. Oscar passed on in 1883 leaving behind six children. Kate’s mother died a year after. Kate was sentimentally exhausted and she needed to turn to composing as a way of squeezing out her anger and dissatisfaction in life (Booth and Mays 500). For over a decade Kate was considered a good writer and became a countrywide applauded writer. She composed many different compositions. Among Kate’s first works was Piano Polka a composition known as Lillian’s Polka. She produced two short stories in 1889 named Wiser than God and a point at issue. In 1890 she issued a novel ‘At fault’ which received unenthusiastic re-evaluation. Next was another novel Young Dr. Gross in 1890. This novel discarded by many publishers and in the end she annihilated the manuscript. This was followed by a short story Desiree baby in 1896 a narrative trails a tale of Desiree who is ditched as a baby and is taken and brought up by a loving family. She gets married and they have a baby with a dark complexion. The husband sends her away claiming that she is of black ancestry only to realize that he is the one of black ancestry. This story was published in a short story collection the following year (Booth and Mays 236). Another collection with twenty one stories, a night in Acadia, was issued in 1897. It gave a picture of her enhanced curiosity of excitement and sexuality. This collection also expressed her disqui
A safety management system, an SMS, refers to a structural approach in managing the safety of staff as well as clients through accountabilities, policies, and procedures. This is done by determining activities that management organizations will follow to achieve acceptable or adequate levels of safety (“Safety Management System”, 2020). In aviation, aircraft operators, aircraft maintenance organizations, air navigation service providers, airport operators, training organizations, and aircraft manufacturers are responsible for implementing these safety management systems. In a video created by CAA International, “How to apply Safety Management Systems (SMS) in aviation? By the UK Civil Aviation Authority”, a breakdown of the system’s design, practical use, as well as responsibility distribution are outlined. First, it is essential to have a risk assessment strategy to define the likelihood and severity of a potential accident (CAA International 2019). This allows the responsible managers to prioritize risks and make decisions about either accepting the risks or lowering them to an appropriate level of safety. These risk management techniques are called risk mitigations and controls, which are barriers and defenses against possible danger. Another important aspect of risk assessment is keeping track of events that take place before and after introducing risk mitigations. This will allow for data collection and analysis of the effectiveness of certain actions taken to prevent accidents. I found the most important part of the video to be about positive safety culture that can reflect on the effectiveness of an SMS. It is the responsibility of the accountable manager and the senior management team to promote positive behavior and the correct implementation of the safety culture. Individuals that work or visit the company or airport influence the SMS in use, so communication lines between management teams, supervisors, and frontline workers are essential.
Introduction A large portion of different societies is structured and administered according to a set of rules, ethics, morality, and laws. Interestingly, when ancient civilizations evolved, they depended on rules and codes to maintain order throughout the empire. The Code of Hammurabi, written on stole stele and clay tablets, was the earliest written system of laws, consisting of 282 enshrined rules. The set of legislation was coined by Hammurabi (r. 1795-1750 BCE), the Babylonian monarch who invaded and subsequently governed ancient Mesopotamia. The codes are considered to have had a significant impact on the lives of Babylonians, spanning from political significance, ensuring fairness, economic significance, as well family and criminal legislation. Justice and Prosperity The codes have acted as an inspiration for creating justice in various civilizations. Hammurabi had a broad view of justice for all people. In conclusion to The Code, he claimed, “The great gods have summoned me, and I am certainly a shepherd who is bringing peace and whose sceptre is righteous.” While attempting to address future leaders, The Code asserts in the epilogue: May the ruler selected in the land examine the just words I have carved on my monument for a long time to come. As an element of the idea of justice, Hammurabi also asserts that he would defend the vulnerable against injustice by the strong. As a portion of his idea of equality and justice, prosperity is addressed. When Hammurabi asserts that he has provided “wealth to the population forever,” he is talking about welfare concerning economic prosperity and the well-being of his people. However, considering the focus dedicated to private ownership, contracts, salaries, and markets, it is possible to argue that Hammurabi was interested in the economic challenges of the Babylonians. Thus, Hammurabi sought to create an institutional framework appropriate for economic growth by prioritizing prosperity alongside justice. Recognition of Economic Actors Agriculture and international trading was the primary activity in Hammurabi’s domain. The Code relates to merchants acting via an agency in international commerce instead of themselves. The merchants fulfilled specific tasks of banking in the Babylonian economic system. One component of banking is receiving deposits and serving as custodians of these funds. For example, in order to deposit expensive items such as silver and gold, The Code requires that an agreement be written out in the company of witnesses. According to law 122 of The Code, if a man intends to offer gold or silver to a man for safe custody, he must present whatever he provides to witnesses. Similar to today’s legal system, The Code establishes the necessity of witnesses and unbiased judges. The law makes it apparent that there can be no viable claim without an agreement or a w
