Introduction Human Resource (HR) policies signify the formal regulations and practices that the organization pursues. Such policies outline how matters are addressed in the organization concerning recruitment, responsibilities, and rights of workers. The implementation of an organizational hiring process policy marks a crucial step in the success of any organization attributable to the recruitment of competent personnel (Bratton & Gold, 2017). It delineates an organization’s ideal hiring practices while promoting uniformity in the recruitment of workers. Some of the key concerns of the hiring process policy are the organization’s recruitment philosophy, procedures, and standards that are to be firmly established. Type of Policy The type of policy implemented in the organization was the hiring process policy. The policy outlined the recruitment process within the company in an effort of filling open roles. One of the reasons backing the implementation of the policy was the company’s dedication to invest in its employees, assist them to develop their skills, and build on their experience. The hiring policy outlined the steps for internal and external recruitment while clarifying the regulations for internal mobility. Another reason supporting the recruitment process is that the hiring team treats every application with confidentiality. It is at the internal candidates’ discretion to either inform the managers or their colleagues that they made an application to an internal vacancy. Hiring teams are required to make sure that applications remain undisclosed until the right candidates are hired (Bratton & Gold, 2017). In a case where a worker is hired to a different role within the company, there will be a one week’s notice before they change position to allow their manager time to start the hiring progression for replacing them. The Positives and Negatives of the Implementation Process One of the positives of the implementation process is in the encouragement of workers to shift roles within the company or department provided the move is in line with their career plans and they have the required qualification to undertake the task. The only requirement is that workers should have worked for at least three months in a given position before applying for a different vacancy within the company. Employees do not require permission from their managers to make an application for an internal job opportunity but are encouraged to be open about their career objectives. Another positive of the implementation process is the recognition of workers for their hard work and expertise. Above all, the process seeks to ensure that wo
It is a real pleasure for me to welcome you at this graduation ceremony. I am happy to have the privilege to address you on this special occasion. I have been waiting for this day for several years and I cannot say that it was an easy time. I want to thank all of you for coming here and to greed those who studied these years with me. I also want to say thank you to parents and teachers from all students as you are those people who supported and taught us during these complicated and challenging days. I think I may speak for all the MBA graduates who share this event today with me. I want to thank the staff of the University for the time and effort they spent on us. It was a great pleasure to study under your supervision and I want to hope that you also enjoyed working with us. All the success we managed to achieve and the goals we are going to reach in the future are partially your merits. The university staff helped us when we had problems, they directed us during these years of study, they supported us when we had doubts and encouraged when we were disappointed. I want to thank parents for their support and assistance. The years of study are really difficult and sometimes we had problems which could be solved only by our hard work and desire to succeed. However, our parents are those who have always been with us. Even when we made mistakes, when our decisions were wrong and we suffered from the outcomes, our parents always tried to assist us. Thank you for your presence. I know that sometimes were difficult children and students, sometimes were wanted too much. There were moments when we gave up, but your support helped us cheer up and go forward. The fact that we are present here today shows that we managed to achieve our first big goal. Nevertheless, there is much to do for us. Graduation is just the first step on the way forward. Having graduated from the University, we are free to choose our way. University is just the preparation stage which just informs us about our future life, still, we are who to make a decision. Having graduated from University we are both free and bounded. We are free in our actions, however, we are bounded with the responsibility before our parents, our teachers, and our country. One of the main purposes of our studying is to gain success and become useful. These notions are interconnected as those who achieve success manage to be useful for their country. I want to contribute to the development of my country as I feel that this is my mission. The university has not only given me knowledge and skills which cannot be overestimated, it has made me a personality. I became an individual with personal intentions, desires, and experience. While our studying, the university staff did all possible to make us the individuals with personal identity, they never imposed their ideas on us
Lower back pain is one of the most prevalent conditions that affect both men and women and might severely worsen the quality of life of an individual. In the current case, the patient suffers from lower back pain associated with intermittent pain in the left leg for a course of over one month. The first proposed diagnosis is sciatica, a common condition with the pronounced symptoms of unilateral leg pain, backache, and positive neutral tension test (Jensen, Kongsted & Kjaer, 2019). The symptoms of the patient align with sciatica. The second diagnosis is lumbar strain, which accounts for 70% of lower back pain due to traumas and is generally the consequence of muscle or tendon tear (Sayed, 2021). However, this diagnosis is not typically associated with other symptoms of the patient. The third diagnosis is disk herniation, which is, alongside spondylolisthesis, synovial cyst, and piriformis syndrome, frequently the cause of sciatica (Gadjradj et al., 2017). Judging from the symptoms, the patient possibly suffers from disk herniation in the lumbar spine – L2-L3-L4 nerve complication associated with backache radiating into the anterior thigh and decreased patellar reflex (Gadjradj et al., 2017). The fourth diagnosis is spinal stenosis, which is generally noticed in older adults over 60 y.o. (Lafian & Torralba, 2018). However, this condition is caused by lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis and is unlikely to affect the current patient. Ultimately, the last proposed diagnosis is osteoarthritis, a common joint defect that results in pain and stiffness (Kloppenburg & Berenbaum, 2020). However, osteoarthritis is generally not associated with the symptoms demonstrated by the patient. Having examined the proposed diagnoses, the patient, most likely, suffers from sciatica or disk herniation, while lumbar strain, spinal stenosis, and osteoarthritis are unrelated conditions.
Lulu Wang’s The Farewell is a film about the experiences of Asian Americans. However, it is also a universal story as it can and does happen in other ethnic groups living in the USA or any other part of the world. The director displayed the peculiarities of life of an Asian family, but these specifics only show that any family often deals with similar issues. Wang states that she did not intend to make a film about diversity for the sake of diversity. She wanted to show people’s experiences, emotions, and thoughts. The director’s attitude towards the genre of her work is rather remarkable as she draws parallels between her film and life itself. Both are complex because of the variety of facets that make the movie and people’s lives complicated, terrifying, and joyful at the same time. The film “Bombay Talkies” is regarded as a tribute to the history of Indian cinematography. At the same time, it is an exploration of new forms as the format of a series of short films provides filmmakers with numerous opportunities. Short stories are united by one theme, but they may speak to different groups of viewers and examine several aspects of a human being. The guiding theme of the film, in my opinion, is people’s personal liberty and the ability to find the balance between duty and freedom. My favorite story is about siblings who have some dreams. The boy has a very specific dream, and he, eventually, finds the balance and manages to become free remaining a part of the loving family. This short film is one of the potential formats of the future of Bollywood movies that can be with no singing sequences. The filmmakers present a way to incorporate music and dance into the film.
Nowadays, the world becomes smaller and smaller. There are no undiscovered places anymore, and modern maps are very precise and accurate. Moreover, the journey from one end of the world to another, which used to be a great challenge to any traveler and might last several months, today will take several hours. There are no geographic boundaries that could limit our movement anymore. The appearance of new means of transport preconditioned significant shifts in people’s mentality, which became globalized. People start to use different categories when making decisions. With this in mind, we could assume that globalization became one of the main features of the modern world that impact its evolution greatly. Besides, there are numerous perspectives on the given phenomenon. On the one hand, the disappearance of borders results in improved cooperation between people from different countries and contributes to the creation of a new united global community that is expected to be deprived of any conflicts based on cultural or racial issues. On the other hand, the grounds for the clash of cultures might appear. Different cultures move closer to each other and might trigger different processes. For instance, one could swallow up another by dictating its rules and fastening its unique perspectives (“A clash of civilizations?,”n.d.). For this reason, many people are still afraid of globalization because of its negative impact on peoples mentality and the increased importance of the idea of “the other.” People have always been afraid of things not peculiar to them. Besides, in the globalized world, they face new phenomena more often, which might be stressful for reserved communities. Therefore, the opponents of globalization often un
Introduction Nowadays, it became a commonplace trend among healthcare practitioners and biologists to refer to the explosive spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) that has taken place throughout the last decade; as such that represents an acute epidemiological threat to humanity. The reason for this apparent – as time goes on, there is being gathered more and more circumstantial evidence as to this virus’s capacity to trigger the development of physical deformities in human fetuses (microcephaly). Moreover, ever since 2013, ZIKV has been increasingly reported in conjunction with people being diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome – something that presupposes Zika’s ability to have a neurotropic effect on the functioning of one’s brain. What adds to the issue’s severity even more is that, as of today, there are no vaccines or antivirals specifically designed to inhibit Zika’s self-replication within the cells of a human body. Partially, this can be explained by the fact that even today, many subtleties of the virus’ pathogenesis remain undiscovered – not the least because of Zika’s phylogenetic similarity with other flaviviruses, which makes its positive identification rather challenging (Paixao, Barreto, Teixeira, Costa, & Rodrigues, 2016). To complicate things even further, there is the apparent lack of Zika-related academic publications, which certainly does make sense, given the epidemic’s sheer recentness. The latter observation, however, presupposes that at this stage of the ongoing research on Zika, it is thoroughly possible to derive a number of qualitative insights into the concerned subject matter by reviewing the available literature of relevance. This research paper aims to accomplish just that. In particular, the emphasis will be placed on outlining the possible strategies for reducing the risk of Zika being transmitted via blood transfusion, as elaborated upon by different authors. Readers will also be able to learn the main historical/epidemiological facts about the virus, as well as to find out what are the main obstacles on the way of health authorities from different countries trying to work out an effective approach for tackling the scope of potential dangers, posed by Zika. Main part Historical excurse Zika is
Introduction Advertising can be defined as a kind of commercial mass communication intended to advance the sale of goods and services. It can as well be viewed as a message designed by an organization or an individual to encourage members of the public to adopt a certain policy (Louw 14). From the definition, it is eminent that advertising can be viewed from various viewpoints. However, the main aim of advertising is to increase a company’s sales of goods and services. Advertising is a common phenomenon in the contemporary world, having started many years ago when individuals wanted to improve the image of their organizations or their life styles. In the 20 th century, advertising turned out to be a reliable source of expanding the operations of an organization, as well as increasing the popularity of individuals during campaigns. Some of the media such as newspapers, TV, mails, magazines and the internet became some of the important mediums used by organizations and political leaders to convince members of the public to endorse their ideologies. Advertising has always been utilized to distribute information to consumers, even though it has both negative and positive impacts. Advertising can be used to persuade people to engage in unhealthy actions such as smoking or drinking, which are proved harmful to individual health. As globalization was witnessed in the mid 20 th century, people had to advertise their goods, agendas and ideologies in order to match increasing competition in the world (Kleppner 23). During the Cold War, the two superpowers utilized advertising to convince the global public to accept their ideologies. Advertising has grown with time meaning that it keeps on changing. The Past In the 1950s,
Florida’s reefs cover the region between Dry Tortugas and Fowey Rocks in Miami, paralleling keys for three hundred and fifty six kilometers. Most of the reef tracts are found within the boundaries of the sanctuary a part from the northern cover. Additionally, several types of reefs occur mostly at the shore while others are found ten kilometers away. It is the most wide spread reef tract in North America and the third largest in the world (National Marine Sanctuaries, 2011). According to research, there are two coral species, sixty three of taxa corals and forty two species of otocorals. This essay addresses some of the disturbances which have been experienced in the coral reefs of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary together with measures which have been implemented to salvage the ecosystem. Coral reefs are mainly threatened by human activities around the world. Due to ever-increasing human population, coral reefs can be affected in countless ways. Some of these ways include but not limited to urbanization and agriculture which increases sedimentation, polluted runoffs and nutrient inputs. Emissions from industries and automobile engines further increase green house effect and leakage of waste products in water (National Geographic, 2011). Harvesting of resources and overfishing have also been identified as ways in which coral reefs in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary are affected. Additionally, huge vessel groundings have caused significant impact on coral reefs in the sanctuary. For instance, nineteen acres of coral reefs were destroyed between 1984 and 1997 by large ships which were over two hundred feet long (National Marine Sanctuaries, 2011). Huge ships cause groundings which affect the health of corals plus other organisms surviving in the ecosystem. Moreover, sediments and nutrient pollution from farming and coastal development smoother corals, block sunlight and block settling of larval. Discharges and nutrient-rich runoffs promote the growth if algal blooms and other competitors (Wadlow, 2011). These equivalently block sunlight and affect normal coral growth and reproduction. All these have weakened corals and created an environment which exposes corals to pathogens and diseases in the Florida Keys (National Geographic, 2011). Coral reefs in the Florida Keys have also suffered due to water diversion in the Southern part of Florida. This is because of the connection of the sanctuary with Florida Bay. The diversion has contributed to the growth of planktons, death of fish and sea grass die-offs. Overfishing has equally caused drifts in fish sizes, their abundance and overall composition within the ecosystem (National Marine Sanctuaries, 2011). Due to the devastating nature of the ecosystem, there have been recovery efforts from the government and the surrounding community in recent years. Firstly, radar beacons have been installed which help vessels to locate paths relative to the position of coral reefs (Prosea, 2005). This has seen access to some regions by sea vessels denied. Similarly, long tanks and vessels measuring more than fifty meters have been restricted fr
Consumer behavior refers to the buying patterns of people. This assignment is to record the buying pattern of consumers in relation to the advertisements directed at them. In relation to the above explanation I have recently kept my eyes and ears open for the advertisement of Mc Donald’s. I have seen it appear on TV channels in the middle of programs. To name some of the channels, movies on HBO, Star World, Cartoon Network. I have also seen adverts of it in the daily newspapers, and magazines like Women’s World, She, etc especially when something new has been introduced. I will now focus on the time I watched the movie “Dead Poets Society” on Star Movies and report on the advertisement of Mc Donald’s during the movie. Before the movie began, and the sponsors were being introduced, the advert of Mc Donald’s appeared only once. The other sponsors i.e Dove shampoo, Comfort fabric softener and Ponds age miracle cream. In the first break of the movie, the advert of Comfort fabric was played first followed by the advert of Dove shampoo, Mc Donald’s and then Ponds. The adverts of Ponds and Mc Donald’s appeared twice and the others once. In the second break, the advert of Dove was played first followed by Ponds, Comfort and Mc Donald’s. The advert of Comfort appeared twice and the others once. The third and the last break had the same order of the advertisements as the first break. Each advert appeared twice. The length of all the advertisements was between 2-3 minutes. The target audience of the advertisement of each advert is as follows:   * Dove shampoo: Ladies who want conditioned, silky, and easy to manage hair   * Ponds age miracle cream: Again ladies heading towards thirties when skin starts to age   * Comfort fabric softener: Ladies who do their laundry themselves and want to give the clothes a soft and fresh feeling   * Mc Donald’s: The entire family, Everyone During the advertisement of Dove shampoo, the brand name as well as the brand logo was used twice. For Pond’s age miracle cream, the brand logo was constantly displayed and the brand name was spoken twice. In the advert of Comfort, the brand logo appeared once but the brand name was spoken thrice and for Mc Donald’s the brand logo again was displayed constantly and the brand name was spoken twice. For Ponds the web address was given at the end once whereas for the rest of the adverts neither phone number nor web address was given. The network and station and network logo appeared constantly, even during the break when adverts were being aired. Other programs, i.e movies were also advertised during each break. Around three movies in each break. There are basically two main types of adverts; Persuasive and Informative. The Ponds and Mc Donald’s are informative whereas the Dove and Comfort are persuasive adverts. The f
Introduction The US economy and transport management are closely interconnected since one of the fundamental foundations of the economy is trade, which involves delivering goods over long distances. In this regard, logistics issues are effective in the case of a sufficiently strong state economy. Management companies and other representatives of private and public businesses tend to focus on security, supply chain continuity, speed of delivery, inflation, and cost reduction in the field of logistics. However, the direct impact on the transport management of the economy is rarely considered, and this study fills this gap. The economy can be in two states: boom and bust. In this regard, the main research question of this work sounds like this: how does the economy in its two states affect the management of transport and logistics, and which ways of management are the most qualitative in each of these two states? The economy is the economic activity of society and the totality of relations that develop in the system of production, distribution, exchange, and consumption (Lundvall & Johnson, 1994). Logistics is the theory and practice of inventory management (Murphy & Knemeyer, 2018). An economic downturn is a long, steady decline in essential goods and services and a decline in business activity. Economic recovery is a state of a country’s economy characterized by increased production, an increase in its efficiency, a revival of economic activity in various fields, and an increase in living standards (Lundvall & Johnson, 1994). Literature Review Logistics and transport, coupled with the economy, form a cycle of mutual influence on each other. The clustering of developed cities and megalopolises completely repeats the systematic nature of logistics clusters, ending with the fact that there are many jobs in the field of logistics (Kumar et al., 2017). The development of technology throughout history has contributed to the development of transport speed, safety, delivery reliability, and many other valuable developments. All these factors contributed to the expansion of the geography of trade, the acceleration of the completion of trade transactions, and the establishment of nationwide trade relations, which required state control. However, the reverse influence began to be investigated relatively recently. First, the technological features of modern transport are very much tied to fuel and, consequently, to oil prices (Hofmann et al., 2018). The regulation of oil prices has long been dependent not only on production volumes in the region but also on various political actions of countries in the international arena. Oil is used to produce gasoline and other fuels needed for road, aviation, and water transport. The influence of the economy on the management of the transport system is manifested in the fact that the change in oil prices for a reason not related to the actions of the transport sector itself forces the regulation of logistics issues according to the new prices. While fuel-independent and non-polluting electric vehicles are
