Introduction This inquiry focuses majorly on the handling and maneuverability of vessels. The analysis is primarily connected with the hull category, the broad sense application of the helm and power, the category of motors as demonstrated in the given scenario, and the propeller description (s). Furthermore, the study is also concerned with the bow propulsion systems and circumferential thrust, the type of rudder, and pivot point. While discussing the pivot point, the investigation enumerates its impact on the ship’s locomotion, reduced speed regulation, engine and steering utilization. Finally, the paper provides a cumulative explanation of maneuverability, including a bibliography. The essay encompasses a ballasted tanker headed west, past Europa Point, through Gibraltar’s southernmost point, and then north. From the north, the vessel moves east, and lastly, southeast. As illustrated in the case scenario, her final approach is to the outer southern berth on the northern breakwater. Getting the Vessel alongside the Berth Type of Hull Just as several vessel kinds exist, there are numerous ship hull varieties. They appear in various shapes and sizes, and each is a work of art and craftsmanship. Despite the variety of boat hull designs available, they are all meant to perform one of the following two functions: displace water or layer on top of it. Generally, water-displacing hulls are designated for sailing ships, merchant ships, and ocean liners. They are mainly used to tow more oversized cargo at reduced speeds and move deeper and slowly through the water. Their hulls, therefore, must expunge a large amount of water. Planing hulls are designed for maximum speed and are more frequently found on smaller vessels with less demanding weight requirements. These planing hulls are engineered to rise above the water’s surface as they accelerate (Cucinotta et al., 2021). Ship or boat hulls come in various shapes and sizes, including flat-bottomed, round-bottomed, V-shaped, and multi-hulled hulls (Collas et al., 2018). There are numerous factors to consider while constructing the hull of vessels or tankers. They include the volume of freight to be carried and the cargo’s load (Helfman et al., 2018). According to the specification in case scenario two above, the ballasted oil tanker’s hull should have a flat bottom, as seen in the illustration below. Figure 1: Flat-bottomed hull ballasted oil tanker General use of Helm and Power Change of direction is described as a vessel’s intrinsic capacity to alt
What I think about the changes I think that the changes contained in the DSM-V manual have been effected at the right time when parents need to understand various categories and information with regard to mental disorders. The changes reflect the amount of research that has been invested into understanding psychiatric disorders. The autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) were previously known by three distinct forms, i.e. autistic disorder, asperger’s disorder and PDD-NOS (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Currently, term intellectual disability is being used, instead of mental retardation, to refer to neurodevelopmental disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). This is a key change that shows how professionals understand the aetiology and progression of various disorders contained in the manual. The changes have also affected the psychotic and bipolar disorders classifications. The changes have put into consideration severity levels of ASDs, and this is crucial for the management of the conditions (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Beneficiaries There are three major categories of beneficiaries of the changes in DSM-V. First, parents caring for children with ASDs are better informed, and they are able to seek the best management options from healthcare providers. For instance, a parent could study the information about a particular mental problem and discuss with a practitioner the options available for the management (Frances & Widiger, 2012). Second, affected children will benefit from the changes made in the publication. They will receive better healthcare based on better diagnosis and classification achieved through the changes adopt
Smart drones compose one of the development direction selected by Brisbane in terms of the “Smart, Connected Brisbane” program. This technology implies the creation of a new way of transportation: Boeing plans to collaborate with Brisbane to launch autonomous systems. Public transport such as buses, metro, and aircraft are proposed to be environmentally friendly and contribute to the sustainable growth of the city (“Smart, connected Brisbane”, n.d.). It is also consistent with one of the goals of Brisbane vision 2031, which identifies that the majority of citizens are expected to feel safe and have no related concerns about their families (“Brisbane vision 2031”, n.d.). In this connection, drone technology is associated with the risk of its limited use due to people’s beliefs about its unsafety. Drones are not loud, which is regulated by the Environment Protection Act, and less harmful compared to traditional vehicles. This transportation option is not big and can exist in the modern urban environment even though some adjustments are necessary (more charging stations). It can potentially serve the entire city in case people are not hesitant to use it. Drones should have implemented maps and safety systems to avoid car collision, while they can travel fast on relatively short distances without charging. Brisbane Council is responsible for introducing, managing, and landing drones, while the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) regulates Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) in the air. The risk rating may be identified as high, and the action is required along with the senior management review. Therefore, the pivotal objective of the Council is to ensure that citizens understand the role of drone transportation technology in the development and maintenance of environmentally friendly approaches to transportation. It is essential to design and implement a program that would clearly describe the benefits of drones to both the city and people (Mahmood, 2018). The customer mindset and lifestyle should be targeted by the program that needs to take into account people’s preferences and needs regarding safe transportation (Hull et al., 2015). In addition, the improvement of the strategies that are used to improve the safety of drones is also likely to be useful in addressing the identified risk. Another recommendation refers to conducting quarterly reviews on safety and customer views by senior management, thus evaluating the impact of the recommendations and adjusting them if required.
Methodology Reasoning for choice of research method The study was based on two qualitative research paradigms defined by the grounded theory and the ethnographic approaches. The aim was to systematically analyse consumer behaviour with excessive spending habits. The framework of the study was defined by the study objectives, which include an investigation of personality disorders linked with the compulsive buying behaviors, investigation of whether compulsive behavior is a personality disorder, and to determine whether compulsive behavior is a lifestyle behavior as opposed to the personality disorder using the Hermeneutic Unit (HU) approach that provides the practical and theoretical foundation to structure the data and to analyze the data (Heath & Cowley, 2004). Typically, the approach was based on an analysis of the data that is based on observations, interviews and opinions, views, experiences, and observations made of primary data (Homayoun & Moghaddam, 2007). The second phase of the study was based on establishing whether the primary data appropriately addressed the research objectives and that it was conducted by refining the quotations and memos that were provided in the text of the study and the responses to the questions (Homayoun & Moghaddam, 2007). Here, the solution was to create a table of the quotations and words, phrases, and expressions based on different dimension of the phrases, expressions, and words in an iterative manner to ensure consistency and validity of the results. Figure 1 below provides a conceptual illustration of the steps that the analysis of data was based on, when working with ‘ATLAS. ti’. It is clear from the onset that by categorising the words, phrases, expressions, experiences, and other elements in the table for the analytical purpose, it became necessary and important to classify the items as related objects that were referred to as quasi dichotomous variables. It was important to understand the meaning of each element used in the analysis data. For instance, quotations were important because they provided the series of statements to portray the meaning of the identifiers assigned to make it easy to analyse. Here, it was important to note that different quotations exist and include the text or graphic quotations, but in this case the most frequently used was the text quotation in the study (Huberman & Miles,1994). The tables were used to facilitate the
Oftentimes, people say that we want everything we can get out of life. Lofty dreams and ambitions are part and parcel of surviving the daily grind and gives each of us an objective to live from day to day, in pursuit of the seemingly unachievable goals. Yes, I said seemingly unachievable. That is because we all want things that can be achieved if we only knew how to get them. I believe that is what Ben Stein was trying to impart upon us when he was quoted as having said that ” The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.” Why should a person decide upon what he wants out of life? Mainly because by deciding to achieve what you want, you consciously move towards achieving that goal. By deciding upon what you want to achieve, you assure yourself of personal satisfaction and happiness once you reach the goal that you set for yourself. I would like to offer myself up as an example of this quote. Being a typical teenager, my life is full of consumer-driven needs and wants. I want the latest iPod, I want the latest fashion, the latest gadgets, I want everything. But, I also know that my parents have financially limited capabilities and can only provide so much for me in terms of my whims and caprices. So then I had to stop and ask myself, ” What is it that I really want? Am I prepared to do anything to get it? How do I plan to pay for it? Will it be worth it in the end?” Taking paper and pen in hand, I listed down my needs as opposed to my wants and decided that my needs outweighed my wants in life. It turns out that what I really needed was also something that I wanted to have. I needed a new computer to replace the run-down one that I had been using in the past. After careful analysis, I decided that the computer I needed and wanted was a laptop. Having decided upon what I wanted, I was now in a position to look into how I could afford to purchase the item I want. I had some money in savings and earned a decent amount of pocket money doing after-school chores, and after talking to my parents, they agreed to shoulder a portion of the cost as well. So off I went and purchased the laptop after 3 months of saving up my share of the amount I had agreed upon with my parents. Now, I am happy to report that I have achieved a sense of personal satisfaction and accomplishment from being able to decide upon what I wanted in life, going for it, and eventually getting it. I am happy because I have learned that all-important first step in figuring out how to get the things I want out of my life. Throughout the steps I took in order to decide upon what I want to have in life and how to achieve it, I learned lessons in differentiating between needs and wants, learned how to handle my finances in order to achieve an end goal, and finally, got my feet wet in the pool known as independence because I learned how to make a responsible decision and how to live up to my commitments in the process. Indeed, by deciding upon what I wanted to achieve in life, I learned how, in the future, I can achieve even more. I just have to make one decision at a time and follow it throu
Background to the study Securities firms play an important role in stimulating a country’s economic growth. These firms link the supply and demand side of an economy by increasing capital accessibility for individuals who require investment capital. As a result, the securities firms make it possible for securities market to function more efficiently. In addition, it is paramount for the management team of securities firms to ensure that the firm is in a capacity to transact its business successfully. This culminates into an increase in the level of confidence amongst the participants. To achieve this, it is a requirement for security firms to have a certain amount of capital which is referred to as capital adequacy. Capital adequacy refers to a predetermined amount of capital that a security firm must have to protect the stakeholders from risks associated with the institution. Considering the volatile nature of the securities markets, it is important for the securities markets to be regulated. This is made possible by the government through the Capital Market Authority as the securities market regulating agent. The CMA implements a number of standards to ensure that securities firms maintain the required net capital. Through efficient regulation of the securities firms, CMA is able to minimize the occurrence of market failure. An unregulated market faces a high probability of failure. This would have adverse effects on the country’s economic performance. It is a requirement for securities firms to pass credit adequacy test. In Saudi Arabia, individuals who seeking to venture into securities market by establishing security firms must fulfill all the requirements as set by Saudi Arabia Capital Market Authority. The Authorization and Inspection department is charged with the responsibility of reviewing all such applications. Saudi Arabian securities businesses are categorized into six classes. These include asset management firms, brokerage firms, corporate advisory firms and custody firms. In addition, the department has the responsibility of ensuring that the security firms comply with rules and regulations set by CMA. In relation to securities firms, capital adequacy relates to a number of elements which includes settlement and market risks, liquidity and solvency. For these requirements to be achieved, the capital market authority formulates a number of standards. Liquidity and solvency standards require securities firms to have enough liquid assets to enable the firm meet its obligations to the customers and other Authorized Persons. By having sufficient liquid assets, a firm can be able to meet its financial o
Ethics in business is one of the most disputable concepts in the business world. Lots of people claim that ethics is one of core principles for the contemporary business world as it ensures proper functioning of all agents in the global market. Scholars as well as business people note that recent financial crises (including the global crisis of 2008) were caused by unethical behavior of some agents. Besides, trust of clients as well as partners is very important in the competitive world of the twenty-first century. Therefore, business people tend to agree that ethics should be an integral part of business and all stakeholders should act responsibly and ethically. However, to incorporate ethics in business, it is essential to understand what it is. Hence, it is crucial to define the concept. Though numerous definitions exist, it is necessary to provide a comprehensive definition. In the first place, it is important to note that ethics in business can be defined as a set of regulations that adhere to the terrain of morality. These regulations address such concepts as trust, reliability, honesty, transparency, consistency, respect, etc. Noteworthy, stakeholders should be especially attentive and responsible when dealing with information. Hence, stakeholders should provide complete and correct information on any matter. They should also share information especially when they notice certain hazards to their business or the entire market. Clearly, stakeholders cannot let themselves gain profits at the expense of other businesses. For example, agreements to act in a way that can cause bankruptcy of some companies are immoral. More so, they can lead to negative effects, e.g. unfavorable changes in the market or even a new crisis. Apart from this, it is also important to mention that ethics in business is impossible if some stakeholders do not share ethical values. Ethical behavior should be present at all levels. Employees, top management and organizations should act ethically. Notably, employees often act unethically even though the company’s actions are ethical. On the contrary, sometimes companies act unethically although the majority of their employees act properly. For example, a company can be involved in a scandal due to unethical actions of its CEO. However, the head of the company or shareholders can choose another CEO and try to diminish negative results of the previous CEO’s actions. At the same time, there have been numerous examples when the head of a company was responsible for scandals even though the rest of the company’s employees acted ethically. Therefore, business world can be characterized by ethical behavior if all stakeholders act ethically and share the same ethical values. To sum up, it is possible to conclude that ethics in business is a set of regulations followed by all stakeholders. It is aimed at development of conduct based on such concepts
Executive Summary According to cultural and religious ideologies, different colors are associated with the special meaning, depending on the context. The color is a powerful tool for marketing because it influences the perceptions of customers significantly. In 80% of cases, customers buy products with a focus on the color. People have different perceptions of various colors that influence their attraction towards them. For instance, in ancient society, the blue color was primarily associated with festivals, and the perception of this color influenced the behavior. Visions of colors are also diverse because of the person’s gender. Females tend to recognize tones and choose bright colors when males prefer dark colors. Since different colors are associated with the particular attraction, colors in the brand and logo can influence how customers perceive the business and its products. Therefore, this study explores the effect of colors on the consumer buying behavior. The study aims to establish how various colors affect the consumer attraction to a product in the market. Furthermore, this study highlights the preferred colors in Saudi Arabia based on gender and age. To achieve these objectives, focus groups and questionnaires have been used, and the collected data were analyzed using such statistical techniques as averages. The correlation and regression analysis has also been conducted to test the data. The finding is that consumers are attracted by their preferred colors. Thus, their product selection depends on the color of the product packaging and the color of the brand. The study indicates that consumers’ consumption and purchasing behaviors can be discussed as being influenced by the product colors, as well as colors that a company uses in its product packaging. Therefore, choosing packages for sale, producers should focus on the color that is characterized by the highest level of attraction for consumers to guarantee increased sales. Introduction Color has an obvious effect on human perception and psychology. Color also has a powerful effect on changing the consumer’s mood, as well as the buying patterns. The color is the reflection of light in the person’s eyes that is transmitted to the brain to determine its qualities (Johnson 89). The transmission of light can be separated into a spectrum of six distinct colors which are red, orange, green, yellow, blue, and violet (Figure 1). Figure 1. Color Wheel. Colors have diffe
Summary The practice of placing students through recruitment agencies is not given too much importance by employers and the agencies themselves. It is proposed that a study be conducted regarding this. The methodology followed is a simple questionnaire with multiple-choice options (closed questions). Prospective job seekers among students, those students who have just been employed, and recruitment agencies will be the respondents. Two suggestions for increasing employer and agency interest have been given. The survey results indicate that this has been well received by all the respondents. Implementing them would definitely increase employer as well as agency interest with regard to student recruitment. Introduction Practically every student who passes out of college as a graduate or post-graduate student will have one aim in mind, namely finding a good job in a respected concern. The first preference would be to find a job that is suited to their tastes and abilities. But this might take a second seat because gaining requisite experience is a priority for a fresher is important. In any case, they resort to various methods in their efforts to find a job. They include answering job wanted advertisements, making use of campus recruitment drives, registering with online job sites, and making use of recruitment agencies. The purpose of this paper is to research the prospect of using recruitment agencies as a key factor in finding employment for students fresh out of college. The research question here is whether recruitment agencies in the country are really effective (as a medium of recruitment) in getting students. Literature review Recruitment can be defined as “the set of activities and processes used to legally obtain a sufficient number of qualified people at the right place and time so that the people and the organization can select each other in their own best short and long term interests.” (Richardson, 2). Since there are a number of ways in which students can try to find themselves a job, it has to be seen whether professional recruitment agencies can play a prominent role in this area. According to a student advisory published by the University of Oxford in the UK, recruitment agencies may not be willing to put too much focus on student placement. The reason is that such agencies are profit-oriented and they charge the employer a certain percentage of the recruit’s salary as commission for services rendered. In the case of graduates, two points stand out which makes them less attractive to agencies. The first is that as fresher graduates, their salary will be low which will also lower the agency commission. The agency will be more focused on jobs that need to be filled quickly, which may not happen in the case of such candidates. Employers on the other hand may feel that spending on the commission will be an unwanted expenditure since many would already have a recruitment plan and budget using other methods of staffing. In such a case, it would be easier to get graduates employed using the recruitment plan instead. (Using recruitment agencies, 2008). The article also states diff
