Technological improvement has transformed the way of doing the work. This has exposed the workers to more physical condition problems. The employers should plan well how they will tackle the health issues. Planning is very important because the health issues are unavoidable in the work place. This may include mental health and job pressure. Workers should be healthy so that they may become more productive in the work place. Healthy workers render their services for a long period of time. Healthy employees make sound and wise decisions. This helps to achieve the companies’ set targets and improve its prosperity. Healthy workers are effective in that they are quicker in responding to different tasks and also make decisions faster. This in turn improves the company’s daily operations and speed of production. Unhealthy employees on the other hand are less productive. This is because they are slower in performance of the company’s tasks. They are slow in making decision which retards the profitability of the company. There is continuous workflow in an organization which has healthy workers. This is because they do not take sick offs unlike the unhealthy workers. The management should have a good plan on the way they tackle the health issues in an organization. The company should provide health cover for its employees in order to manage the health issues in the organization (Sloane & Witney, 2007). The company should also have the safety measures to keep the working environment out of danger. Safety measures reduce health risks. These measures may include thing
Introduction This paper focuses on an architect of the 20th century, Alvar Aalto. Hugo Alvar Hendrick Aalto was born in Kuortane, western Finland on 3rd February 1898, at a time when Finland was still part of Russia. He is one of the most famous architects of his time, especially in Finland. He made major contributions to architecture and public buildings’ furniture. He was the firstborn among the three children born to Selma Hackestedt who was from Sweden and a postmistress (Schildt, 22). He passed on in 1902. His father was Johan Henrik Aalto who was a land surveyor. Henrik remarried after Selma’s death, and in 1902, his family moved to Alajärvi then Jyväskylä, which is located in the central parts of Finland. Alvar attended the Jyväskylä Lyceum School where his best subject was drawing. He graduated in 1916 during the spring season (Schildt, 28). Alvar Aalto’s life and contributions to the Architectural world During the summer after he had graduated from school, he accompanied his father as he went to survey the land. In the same year, Aalto joined the Helsinki University of Technology which was formerly a polytechnic where he studied architecture under the guidance of Armas Lingren. While still in school, Aalto worked for Carolus Lindberg. It was while working for Carolus that he worked on the “Tivoli” design for a national fair that took place in 1920. He graduated in 1921 with good grades. After graduating, Aalto traveled around Europe as an exhibition designer hence developing a wide array of knowledge of art and architecture in the contemporary world (Aalto, Reed, and Frampton, 83). Two years after graduating, Aalto set up his very own studio in Jyväskylä. He employed an assistant named Aino Marcio in 1924. Later on, he married her, and they were blessed with two children. This included Johanna who was born in 1925 and Hamilkar born in 1938. Aino was an architect herself. They traveled to Italy for their honeymoon. They designed and worked on many buildings together. Aalto and his family relocated to Turku in the late 1920s. Here, he established a working relationship with Bryggman who was also in the same field. However, he moved back to Helsinki in 1933. Aino died on 13th January 1949 after a long battle with cancer. Aalto remarried Elissa Makiniemi on 4th October 1952 and they stayed together until his death. She was also an architect (Aalto, Reed, and Frampton, 84). Aalto had several achievements including being a member of “Congrès International d’Architecture Moderne” (CIAM). These were architectural conferences held between 1928 and 1959. He was head of the Finnish Architects association from 1943 to 1958. Aalto was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He als
Introduction The role of the police is to enforce laws, protect property and reduce civil disorders in the society. In this essay, I wish to discuss the differences and similarities between the federal, state, and local levels of law enforcement and contributions of August Vollmer and other pioneers to the development of Criminal investigative techniques. Differences and similarities between the federal, state and local levels of law enforcement A local police officer has his/her own jurisdiction in a given town. The local law enforcers provides patrol of the communities within their jurisdictions, emergency services and conduct criminal investigations. On the other hand, state law enforcers share same responsibilities with the local state. State officers are assigned the duty of providing security to the country. They ensure that rural areas, highways of state are safe. In addition, they also conduct criminal investigations. Federal law enforcers work in certain areas of crime. For example, the Federal Bureau of Investigations is responsible for major criminal investigations and they include civil rights, cyber crime, major thefts, terrorism, and counter intelligence. However, these enforcers have differences in their operations, support, funding, jurisdictions and staffing (Adams, 2001, p. 138). In terms of resources, it could be labor, funds and the state law enforcers have adequate resources compared to the local law enforcers and this is because their operations are countrywide. Local law enforcers deal with a small portion of place while state law enforcers ensure that the whole country is safe. Local officers provide patrol services within their community but the state officials patrol the whole country. Federal law enforcers specialize in issues of crime. They handle major crimes like terrorism, cyber crimes, counterintelligence while the local and state law enforcers perform the same duties. Contributions of August Vollmer and other pioneers in law enforcement to the development of criminal investigative techniques Vollmer insisted that police should attain college degrees. They were to attend school to acquire skills and knowledge. He encouraged his men to attend classes in police administration. Bicycles and squad cars were used by the police for patrolling (Vollmer, 1983, p. 23). They provided transport for the police and patrolling enhanced
Understanding the progress of labor and the common issues that arise over the course of it are crucial for midwives since it helps create a supporting and safe environment for women. The primary focus throughout labor should be on the woman, her emotional and physical comfort. This paper aims to review the common aspects of labor, such as progress, premature urge to push, and emotional dystocia. Friedman’s work described the labor progress as follows – the first stage of labor or the active stage can last from five to eight hours. Next, there is the second stage or the pushing stage (Gabbe et al., 2016). Augmentation of labor can be suggested if the process is not progressing normally, for example, if the labor is prolonged and the cervix is dilated at less than 0.2 inches. According to King, Brucker, Osborne, and Jevitt (2018), augmentation is suggested once a woman enters an active phase, and the progress is slower when compared to the general population. The authors argue that oxytocin is commonly used to improve the process. Other medical interventions that can be suggested are breaking the waters. However, the midwives should consider the emotional well-being of the woman and help her overcome the stress, which can be done using aromatherapy or a warm bath. Other suggestions include exercise, for example, using a ball that can help enhance dilation. When choosing a method, the patient’s preferences should be considered. Hence, the two ways to progress in labor are – using labor hormone oxytocin and non-medical interventions aiming to help the women relax. The common cause of a premature urge to push is the pressure on the pelvic floor. In general, the urge to push is a result of Ferguson’s reflex’ triggered by the pressure on the nerve receptors located on the pelvic floor. This can happen both before and after the full dilation of the cervix. Some evidence suggests that this phenomenon can lead to “cervical edema, cervical lacerations or maternal exhaustion,’ suggesting that women should be discouraged from premature urge to push (Tsao, 2015, p. 5). There is limited evidence discussing the premature urge to push. In most cases, an individualized plan is recommended. Methods, which can be used to cope with this issue, are – position change in which the women are positioned on her hands and knees and the breathing method pant and bow (Tsao, 2015). In some cases, medication for pain relief is recommended to mitigate the early push. Emotional dystocia is a term that describes a prolonged labor process, which, when compared to the normal progression of labor, is more extended. This issue is a result of a trauma, in some cases, a previous traumatic delivery or other physiological problems that the mother is experiencing. The typical indicators are prolonged labor that is not a result of other medical implic
An overview Most business organizations conduct CRM through the application of attractive and customer-focus websites. Their main objective is to inform and entice customers, at the same time collect information from them by way of informal but effective online surveys. CRM is about relational marketing which focuses on developing a long-term relationship with customers. If we translate this to profits, it means focusing on long-term profit and not on the profit obtained from a particular sale. Most global or international organizations are targeting this long-term goal because they want to stay in their businesses for a long time. Having an effective CRM is very important in business because it gives the assurance that the firm will stay for good. Definition Customer relationship management is a broad term that refers to strategies of firms to enhance customer relationships ( StraightMarketing.com , 2010). An important focus of CRM is customer loyalty, or the attainment of a relational bond between business and customer (Lam, Cheung, & Lau, 2013). A successful CRM will lead to customer satisfaction and loyalty. Who is interested? Business organizations are the most interested in providing CRM because they want to focus on customers’ needs and behavior. By doing this they build and enhance their products and services to pleasing customers. Importance CRM is important in the study of customer satisfaction and loyalty, which are business goals in this age of stiff competition and intense globalization. Satisfaction can be a step further to loyalty, but it may not immediately lead that way. It has to be a series of customer-satisfying activities that can result in loyalty. This is the aim of CRM, to monitor customer behavior so that firms can deliver and meet their needs and wants over a course of time. Researchers have opined that once a customer becomes loyal, that loyalty is difficult to question and may stay for a long time. Many established international firms have experienced this, for example, carmakers Toyota and Mercedes Benz. They have stayed in business despite incidents of recalls for Toyota, and merger and acquisition for Mercedes Benz, not to mention their experiences in financial crises and economic downturns. During and after these events, their customers remained loyal to the end. Types CRM has been classified into three, which are operational, analytical, and strategic ( Matteson , 2013). Other authors may add collaborative, instead of strategic. There may be other types but they may fall on these three general classifications. Comparison of Prophet CRM and Salesforce CRM ( G2 Crowd , 2015) An overview of “Prophet CRM” and “Salesforce CRM” Patronized by more than 15,000 customers, Prophet CRM is software that can be accessed through a user’s mobile phone. This is a simple software that can let you do business in just one email
Public service is one of the sacrificial elements of human service to others because the people engaged in it have the passion to do so. It is sacrificial to talk about the issues that affect people and the events that happen globally. For instance, issues like hunger, both inter-community and international war, change of climate, inequality in terms of gender among others affect people and cause undesirable returns. All these issues pose challenges to the lives of people and in many circumstances, these very challenges go unsolved because of limited manpower and control over them. Every nation has its own history of describing different generations; adult and young generations under which the destiny of both tend to be unpredictable. For this reason, no one is independent of their service, but in the real case, there is a dependent way of life for services among people of any given nation. There is a need that people sacrifice their lives for the sake of the less fortunate members of the society. The volunteering process requires that they identify the gaps in the society that require their intervention (Bilmes and Scot 89). The US president, Barack Obama in his speech called Should the United States Require Young People to Perform Public Service?, narrates the story of his teenage, during which he encountered critical situations after his father had left them. He was faced with challenges related to adolescence, which made him shy from working hard and not to take his studies seriously. He later realized the core aspects of life when he was taking his further studies. He narrates that his mother kept on telling him about the benefits of honesty, empathy, hard work and generally ethical issues which were the core aspects of life as per his narrations (Hazenberg 87). After an extensive range of interactions with many parties and different categories of people, he got the vision of the world around him. He applauded the initiatives that Nelson Mandela created in South Africa against the apartheid regime. Barrack Obama studied the country in different spheres of its governance and this idea made him pick up a thought of bringing change by the time he was graduating from college. Public service also requires that volunteers be a part of their community, which gives them a better a chance of studying the needs of the majority (Bilmes and Scot 67). After his graduation, he applied for jobs in a number of organizations in the country, after which he got employed as a community organizer in one of the steel plants in Chicago, though he was not well conversant with the Community Organizing Business, which was his job. He kept on struggling with his counterparts by organizing for the briefs and meetings with the leaders of the community about gang violence. The meetings were all about fighting for peace among people in the community, getting newly registered voters, fighting for new jobs and setting new standards of living and a dignified way of life. He realizes that he was not only helping the people around, but the community embraced him together with his service
Amazon has grown tremendously in the past few years and is now the largest online retailer. To retain this position, the company must be strategic in its operations. One way to do this is to be adaptable to customer needs. For instance, during the past year, many people resorted to online shopping to reduce the risk of being infected with the coronavirus (Weise and Corkery). An e-commerce company such as Amazon should be able to anticipate such customer needs and adjust its strategy appropriately. Amazon will continue to be the largest e-commerce retailer if it remains adaptable and is able to conveniently deliver what customers expect. In July 2021, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos resigned as the company’s CEO. In the past, he has been associated with unfair labor practices, including underpaying employees and providing poor working conditions. It was amid these controversies that Bezos resigned, leaving the CEO position to Andy Grassy. This was a good approach because the company suffered too much bad publicity under Bezos. Additionally, Bezos had led the company for twenty-seven years since its formation in 1994. It will be interesting to see what new strategies a new leader will employ to raise the company further. One internal condition that Amazon needs to address is its treatment of employees. There are numerous complaints of the company treating its employees poorly and making them work in deplorable conditions. Failure to do so will increase employee turnover and possibly cause a labor shortage. In the external environment, Amazon needs to address legal issues such as compliance (Weise and Corkery). Due to its massive growth, Amazon is bound to be heavily regulated. It should ensure its operations are all within the confines of the law.

Free trade is considered part of globalization since it ensures existence of fairness in international trade. The concept basically involves removal of most trade barriers for the benefit of all consumers within the society. Fair prices are provided for the purposes of enabling consumers gain access to sensitive and important commodities. Free trade agreements are reached after negotiation processes are done and ultimately sealed by legislation and signing of text of agreement (Krugman and Obstfeld, 2011). In most cases signed agreements assist in opening markets that were previously inaccessible to companies from specified countries. Trade agreements usually determine a company’s possibility of operating within the foreign markets. This is because free trade agreements have the capacity of directly influencing company’s export costs which eventually determine prices charged within these foreign markets (Carbaugh, 2004). Fair trade encompasses trade of goods and services with the focus of creating equity and partnership within the global market system. In addition to farmers and producers receiving money, they also commit to work under long-term contracts for the future benefit of businesses and entire society. Fair trade producers are characterized by small cooperatives of workers using environmentally friendly methods for the purposes of sustainability. Standards within fair trade highly considers human and animal welfare hence no abuse to labour is found within this system. Fair trade guidelines demand that producers sign up and be accountable for the quality of their products (Krugman and Obstfeld, 2011).The basic concept of fair trade is that it is meant to guarantee minimum price for traded commodities either industrial or agricultural. This is done for the purposes paying workers in developing countries more than expected earnings such that in case of price fluctuations, there is still basic safety net salary for workers against tough situations. However, fair trade also has got drawbacks such that goods fairly traded can at times be costly. Good example can be drawn from the fact that fair trade clothes or household items are always priced higher than goods traded in normal and usual ways. This makes it difficult for the low-income earners to perform their normal purchases (Carbaugh,
Positioning Strategy By examining the current level of business undertaken by Marvel Entertainment, it is undemanding to understand how the corporation is equipped with an effective strategy intended to uphold the company’s comprehensive products portfolio. In fact, all the perspectives of business operations have been properly placed. That is, the company’s operational strategy was clear from the beginning. The company sought to be in command of a huge segment of its leisure output. The approach was in effort to create an ongoing super hero merchandise franchise. There is link in the company products from animation and movie to consumer products including DVD, video games and toys. There is also an online version of the links utilizing animations, movies and classics (Collins 26). Consumers’ Perceptions The core idea of Marvel’s strategy reflects the foundation of the company business. In the company’s comic books, the main heroes emerge frequently in each other’s storyline. Considering that the company initially depended on Spider-Man over a long time, the incorporation of key heroes was refreshing for the company’s core fans. The consumers of the corporation products view the company as one that can offer a wide range of entertainment products for individuals of all ages. Indeed, this is particularly the case of families with young children. The company offers a wide range of products including shoes, bags and clothes that are designed to be associated with heroes in the company entertainment products. Children who enjoy the entertainment products from the company can hence associate with other products such as clothes, shoes and bags. According to Collins (2011), this gives the interconnectivity between the basic requirements of the consumers and the entertainment portfolio. By examining the profitability and financial performance of the company, it is easy to conclude that the company customers are receiving the positioning strategy adopted by the company positively. In recent years, major licensees and retailers have come on board to discuss the long-term ventures. In 2008, the company earned international royalties of over 147 percent increase from the previous year. The consumers of the movie products are pleased that the company has presented them with linked, in-depth, and detailed story forming an umbrella narrative. The company has created a niche in the younger audience. By bringing forward new brands including The Super Hero Squad, the company has managed to create a loyal base of consumers. The initial young customers of the company since it opened its doors are now individuals with financial capability to purchase the consumer products from their own pockets. They do not need to rely on their parents to purchase the products. As the company grows in both profitability and products, these customers get products that match their age such as the introduction of The Avengers. In locations such as Japan, the company has managed to position itself locally to the benefit of local consumers. There are localized characters in its product line. From study literature,
Introduction The modern world is burdened by several mental illnesses, with one of them being depression. Depression is a condition affecting people across all age groups, ethnicities and sex. The treatment and management of mild to severe major depressive episodes mainly entail the prescription of antidepressants. The treatment of depression has greatly revolutionized since the development of tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors in the 1950s. This paper aims to comprehensively examine a hypothetical drug, Eistenpam, which is a more effective and safer version of the antidepressants that have been approved by the FDA. Information about Its Origins The treatment options for depression are centered on using antidepressant agents, most of which have monoaminergic-based targets. These include tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. The positive effects of these agents are based on the inhibition of the metabolism or reuptake of monoaminergic neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine (Neis et al., 2015).
