Abstract Mega-events in sports are ordinarily meant to showcase the prowess and supremacy of some sportsmen and women who take part in them. However, a relatively unexplored area in this analysis is the impact that these events in host communities, cities, and countries. This paper fills this research gap by investigating the perception of the residents of Tianjin, China, regarding the impact of the China National Games on their city’s image. From the outset of this study, three core areas of Tianjin’s image are explored. They include the economic, environmental, tourism, and sociocultural image of the city. These key areas of analysis are encapsulated by four research questions, which seek to find out the environmental, economic, socio-cultural, and tourism impacts of the China National Games in the city. These four research questions aim to meet the main goal of this paper, which is to investigate the perception of Tianjin’s residents regarding the impact of the China National Games on the image of the city. The research strategy used to meet this aim is based on the case study research approach, which is supported by the collection of data using a triangulation technique that involves gathering data from interviews, surveys, and desk research. Based on the responses obtained from the aforementioned data collection techniques, this paper argues that the China National Games have a positive impact on the economy of Tianjin. The same data collection methods help to affirm a positive impact of the games on the sociocultural and tourism sectors of the city. Nonetheless, the respondents sampled in this review were unsure about the impact of the games on the environment of the city. This lack of surety permeated throughout the three centers of data collection. Thus, the researcher deduced that, out of the four areas of analysis, the environmental impact of the games was most contested. Future research should explore this area of study further. Introduction Background of the Study Today, many cities around the world are relying on the popularity of different types of mega-events to improve or sustain their regional and global images (Nunkoo & Smith 2015). Often, countries aggressively bid to host these mega-events because they want to attract people from different parts of the world to spend their money on their local economies, market their core attributes, and boost their image (Quinn 2013). Commonly, studies have focused on the economic benefits of hosting mega-events and neglected others (Nunkoo & Sm
Abstract Pancreatitis is a disease that occurs when pancreatic enzymes are activated in the pancreas rather than the small intestine (Prior, 2009). The disease can be acute or chronic. This paper investigates the variation between the expected presentation and an actual case of acute pancreatitis. Main symptoms include epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea (Balthazar, 2002). Most common causes include gallstones, alcohol and metabolic disorders (Markel, 2009). Patient history, blood tests, ERCP and CT scan are main components of AP diagnosis. Treatment is usually done by administration of fluids, pain management and treatment for nausea. The patient in the case study was a male aged 45 years old and had a history of elevated cholesterol levels which was being managed using atorvastatin. The patient was also a habitual drinker. The patient was admitted suffering from upper abdominal pain nausea and vomiting (Balthazar, 2002). None of the probable causes of AP were established during the first episode. However, a mild lesion established during the second episode was able to confirm that the patient was suffering from acute pancreatitis associated with alcohol use. The patient was treated with meperidine to control pain in both episodes. Other non pharmacological therapies such as bowel rest and fluid replacement were offered. There is a lot of literature concerning alcohol use and pancreatitis, however, the actual mechanism of interaction remains unknown. More research should be carried out to establish the missing information to improve the diagnosis of alcoholic pancreatitis. Introduction Pancreatitis can be described as a “disease that occurs when pancreatic enzymes are activated in the pancreas rather than the small intestine” (Markel, 2009, p. 1). Pancreatitis can occur due to several factors and result into varied symptoms. Acute pancreatitis can be described as a sudden attack that causes inflammation of the pancreas which is often associated with a severe upper abdominal pain (Prior, 2009). This paper seeks to compare and contrast expected presentation of the disease process and use of pharmacotherapeutics with the presentation and treatment witnessed with an actual patient case. The knowledge gained about the disease and drug treatment will then be synthesized through the creation of an appropriate case study of the selected disease process (Balthazar, 2002). In order to bring out a clear comparison only one form of pancreatitis (acute pancreatitis) will be discussed. Disease description As shown earlier, acute pancreatitis can be described as a sudden inflammation of the pancreas. Acute pancreatitis can have varied symptoms, the most common ones being: severe epigastric pain that radiates to the back; nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and loss of appetite; hemodynamic instability that may include shock; respiratory distress; tachycardia; and peritonitis (Balthazar, 2002). The most common cause of acute pancreatitis include: gallstones; alcohol; metabolic disorders such as hereditary pancreat
The sphere core humanitarian standards are aimed at helping people in difficult situations. They are designed as a reminder for people who want to improve the quality and effectiveness of the care they provide (The Standard – CHS, 2021). They also consist of a set of principles that fight to meet people’s basic needs around the world (What Are Humanitarian Standards?, 2018). To understand how the standards work will be considered three of them, their application to natural disasters, and the characteristics of incidents. The first standard is humanitarian aid that is appropriate and relevant. It means that material assistance or services must be equivalent to loss. The second standard says that it must be effective and timely. In emergencies such as hurricanes and floods, minutes count; hence, both time and performance are essential. The third standard is called coordinated and complementary assistance provision. It implies organization and complex impact to achieve the best effect. The most often neglected standard is the last one discussed in the previous block. Humanitarian organizations are legally responsible and must comply with the basic points (The Core Humanitarian Standard, 2019). The environment is changing rapidly, and medical teams may arrive with no specific skills or lack of logistics, which leads to inapplicable help (Waldman, 2018). Moreover, it is not easy to organize resources to assist in the shortest possible time. Coordination and complementary provision of assistance are the most challenging points to accomplish, and therefore, irregularities occur. The main characteristics of disasters are broken houses, lack of roads, and inability to obtain food and water. For example, in 2018, South Asia floods damaged 18,000 schools and left 1.8 million children out of education, and the humanitarian help spent less than 2% of aid on solving the problem (Briggs, 2018). It clearly shows the poor organization and lack of provision of additional services. Help aids can find people under the rubble of houses and drag them out, but they cannot solve social problems. The sphere’s humanitarian standards are beneficial to society but require revision and additions. They include nine rules aimed at improving the quality of the services provided by the rescue services. Considering natural disasters, the clause on coordinated and complementary provision is most often violated. It is reflected in the inability to provide children with resources for education in their schools. The humanitarian standards imply their mandatory observance only in case of a threat to life.
Scooter . Introduction Companies should have an important marketing framework to guide their activities and ensure that communication plans are successful. In addition, such a framework ensures that the team supports the overall marketing objectives of an organisation. A marketing framework provides a system that is simple to comprehend with regard to marketing and assigning a given indicator and metric for performance measure and management. It helps in evaluating the effectiveness of a marketing campaign and indicates whether an organisation has achieved the desired goals through its marketing plan. Such goals may be to enhance customer retention or acquisition (Berry and Wilson, 2001). This essay applies a marketing communication framework developed by Chris Fill to create a marketing communication plan for Moveo, a folding electric scooter (Fill, 1999). Therefore, the essay shall explore elements of Chris Fill Framework, such as context analysis; promotional goals; promotional strategy; coordinated communication mix; implementation; budget schedule; and control and evaluation in order to develop a marketing communication plan for the Antro Group. The marketing communication plan covers a period of 12 months from June 2014 to May 2015. Moveo: A Folding Electric Scooter Moveo is a carbon fibre electric scooter developed by the Antro Group, Hungary. The company revealed the product in February 2013. It is an outcome of five years of research and development. Moveo is different because one can easily fold it in half and carry it into a train, the back of a car, pull it into the office or alongside a piece of luggage because it weighs only 25 kg / 55 lbs. The product takes one hour to charge. Its battery life can cover 22 miles with speed of 28 mph. The electric scooter is completely closed when folded. It protects riders from grime and dirt from the road. The scooter is designed for commuters in large cities all over the globe. It will complement the public transport system and operate in an eco-friendly way. The folding electric scooter will retail at £2000 in the beginning of 2014 hopefully. Figure 1: Moveo, a folding electric scooter. Context Analysis Customer Context The folding electric scooter is designed for commuters in busiest large cities in the world. The marketing communication plan aims to account for their levels of awareness, product perception and attitudes (Yeshin, 1999). Today, there is a growing demand fo
Before proceeding to the research, it is imperative to start by providing the meaning for accounting quality. The purpose of a financial coverage and reporting is to make the information about financial position, procedures, and changes in financial state of a body more available, as this is essential for economic decisions making. These users could be represented by the government, the investors, employees, lenders, suppliers, customers, lenders and, the public in general. But in recent times, the quality of financial reporting has being given enormous attention specifically after current accounting modifications. Although these recent interests are very high, they tend not to procreate a clear and standard definition for the term accounting quality. It is still yet not clear to understand and tough to define. Therefore, the main objective of IASB is to attract the public, and develop a single and positive definition for the term. However, despite there attempts, they have failed to present a high quality definition. In this regard, Dechow (2003, p 356) states that a just assessment of those interests application of accounting quality should be used in terms of shareholders’ interest. The researcher’s idea about accounting quality is closely associated with the relevance of data for stakeholders and the use of bespoke shareholder strategies. Under the practice of this indecisive approach, accounting quality should tend to consider the public interest in the process of upholding shareholders. Despite the fact a clear definition for accounting quality has failed to be mentioned
Faith Integration (Employer/Employee Relations) Harry should change the current management philosophy in his family’s firm, as well as its structure. The reason is that the management in the company is realized according to the principles of Theory X, but the shift to Theory Y is required. Even if the textile company seems to compete within the market, the followed management approach cannot guarantee that it will be productive in several years in the context of industry changes regarding the relations between employers and employees. Currently, the firm operations are based on a strict scheme, according to which managers and employees perform their roles and interact with each other (Hill, 2008). To increase productivity and improve performance in the context of Theory X, it is necessary to raise employees’ wages, but the overall situation in the company will not change. It is appropriate to act according to Theory Y principles and increase employees’ motivation and productivity with a focus on developing their commitment and relations with managers. It is necessary to change the structure of the firm to make employees more personally involved in the process, self-directed, responsible for their activities, and interested in outcomes (Dharejo, Baloch, & Jhatial, 2017). Following the principles of Christian ethics, Harry should use the techniques of covenantal management to guarantee that all employees and managers are the part of one team, they are respected, and their interests are addressed. The workforce should be informed regarding the company’s values and goals, teambuilding activities should be organized, and training on respect, dignity, and accountability in the workplace should be conducted. If Harry does not make any changes in the work of his firm, he will face such risks as decreased productivity, no possibilities for improving employees’ performance, the lack of their commitment, and the impossibility to effectively compete in the market. Furthermore, the absence of changes in management can lead to a turnover and developing a bad reputation for the firm in the market. The reason is that many modern companies try to change their focus from Theory X to Theory Y. In the past, employees were regarded as not interested in the firm’s success, they disliked their work, and much control was required in order to guarantee high-quality performance (Hill, 2008). Today, the focus is on stimulating employees’ inner motivation and responsibility in the context of Theory Y (Lawter, K
Opioid Crisis in the United States: Overview The fact that an increasingly large number of patients undergoing opioid treatment are developing or have already developed a dependency on the drugs that are administered to them is undeniable (Kaplan, 2016). Defined as the opioid crisis, it is becoming a reason for a major concern in the United States (Kaplan, 2016). According to the recent statistical data provided by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (2016), at least 10% of Americans over 12 had an opioid addiction in 2015. Exploring the effects of using patient education combined with a change in the process of administering drugs will require the application of a framework comprised of cognitive therapy based on the constructivist and humanist theories of learning. The specified strategy will allow both changing the attitude toward drug intake among patients and the idea of managing the target population’s needs among nurses. Cognitive Approach The significance of using the approach rooted in cognitive therapy is justified by the fact that the process of educating both nurses and patients must be the primary focus of the program. Although changing the dose prescribed to patients is also an essential step in managing the issue, it will be impossible without a conscious attempt at changing the situation made by a patient, as well as the recognition of the necessity to build a dialogue with the patient acknowledged by a nurse (Costello, Thompson, Aurelien, & Luc, 2016). Herein the significance of the cognitive therapy framework lies. By definition, it implies that an individual engages in the active observation of accepted practices and behaviors, thus, developing the required attitudes and skills (Manworren & Gilson, 2015). The strategy in question is especially efficient when implementing a learning program for nurses (Freedland, Carney, Rich, Steinmeyer, & Rubin, 2015). Humanist Approach The humanist theory, in turn, will provide patients with the agency that they need to handle the development of drug dependence successfully. Indeed, according to the primary tenets of the specified framework, it is essential to encourage the independence of the target population to promote the necessary changes and increase the speed and efficacy of knowledge acquisition by patients (Souza, Mesquita, Antoniolli, Lyra, & Silva, 2015). The specified framework is especially important in the management of the opioid crisis seeing that it will allow patients to recognize the problem and fight their addiction willingly. Indeed, according to the primary tenets of the humanist framework, the process of constructing meaning is the essential step toward developing an understanding of a specific issue and acquiring the skills and habits that will allow patients to control the process of recovery, thus, contributing to it significantly. By applying the identified approach toward exploring the effects of patient education, one will be able to determine the possibility of introducing the principle of se
In the video, an actual six-level Hong Kong Air Cargo terminal is described. This technologically advanced building meets the needs of clients and management departments. Due to its $1 billion logistics facilities and computer-driven automation, the terminal works great and brings a number of benefits, including security, speed, and flexibility. Handling equipment, advanced automation, and IT development promote the development of customer-focused services. For example, no physical (human) intervention is possible through the implementation of the pack tools box storage system (BSS). There are about 3,500 storage positions at the highest level, and cargos are administrated with the frames of computer-generated plans. One of the main elements of high-tech methods to sort, track, and control shipments at Hong Kong Air Cargo is the absence of direct human activities and total automation endorsement. According to Elias (2018), enhanced targeting depends on how well automated systems are implemented to measure potential threats to security. Unit and pallet handling must also be improved to reduce the participation of people (go to the container directly from the tarmac). The “sushi-bar” style for conveyors allow holding about 10,000 storage positions for clients’ consignments. Japanese air freight industry continues developing and setting high standards in the sphere of management. Today, the country’s terminals are directed to support the population’s growth and establish positive trends in marketing and managing (
Introduction Jubilee is a folk novel embedded in folk beliefs and folk lyrics. Perhaps no other novel depicting the plight of southern blacks has made a greater impact on the reading populace than Margaret Walker’s Jubilee. In essence, Jubilee has been proclaimed as a civil war novel in the reverse tradition of Gone with the Wind. It is primarily the search for freedom of the protagonist, but symbolically of the black community as a whole. This paper tries to unveil the elements of folklore and song of the Afro-Americans in an era of subjugation, which has been skilfully penned down by Walker in this novel. Hence we can proclaim Margaret Walker’s Jubilee as a lyrical novel that captures the heart of the African American society in the nineteenth century America and relates the tale of the dark ages of slavery through the voice of a slave woman. Margaret Walker’s Jubilee is a lyrical novel that captures and shapes the saga of the African American experience by using the lyrics of slave songs and spirituals that give testimony to the legacy of her people. Synopsis Jubilee is the story of Vyry, the protagonist of the novel, which begins with the imminent death of her mother, Sis Hetta in 1839. it ends with the news of an impending birth – Vyry’s fourth child – some thirty years later. Vyry was born into slavery, the child of a slave woman and her master; this child Margaret Walker’s grandmother, Elvira Ware Dozier, will be born free. Until Jubilee, the story of black women in the Civil War and in slavery had been told by others, except for the slave narrators who recorded their experience after manumission or after the escape from the “peculiar institution”, the perspective, whether of history or of fiction, was almost inevitably white, usually male, and regionally identifiable. In Margaret Walker’s interview with Nikki Giovanni, recorded in A Poetic Equation , Walker stresses the importance of black woman’s perspective: “I’m interested in the black woman in fiction perhaps because I am a black woman, and feel that the black woman’s history has not been told, has not been dealt with adequately.” Women were less mobile. They not only had to do the daily chores at daytime, but also at night, at times, give in to the master’s nocturnal needs. Vyry’s mother was given to young master John Dutton when she was “barely more than pickaninny.” She died in her twenty-ninth year, after having given birth to fifteen slave children. Vyry meets a free black man named Randall Ware who promises to buy her freedom if she marries him. She sees him secretly and bears three of his children, only two of whom live. She asks Marster John for permission to marry Randall, but he refuses. Vyry, the mother of two c
