Introduction Air data systems combine a number of function probes, data computers with protection, and stall warning for larger air data systems. The Goodrich SmartProbe Air Data System is a complete solution to Air Data created for a number of new aircraft systems example being the Bombardier Learjet 85. The data system is also RVSM-compliant for the upgrade programs. The SmartProbe system incorporates detecting probes, pressure sensors, and powerful air data that are helpful in processing all the critical air data parameters. The parameters include the Pitot and static pressure, angle of sideslip, and airspeed. The system borders with the total air temperature to provide true static speed. Consequently, the system creates better accuracy for the data output, which helps in improved performance and reduces lifecycle costs. The paper discusses the SmartProbe Air Data System in detail and the advantages that it has to a system. Main Points The system utilized in my organization is the SmartProbe Air Data system. Additionally, the database application that is utilized is Microsoft Access. Microsoft Access provides the necessities that are required to run a business. They include the data connect of the dots. This aids in connecting hours, inventory, or contacts. The further application aids in the smarter and smooth running of the business. The most important perhaps is the price comparison and billing. The Goodrich Corporation developed the SmartProbe Air Data system internally as opposed to purchasing. The type of system is utilized in a number of ways owing to the differences in structure and the benefits that it presents. The system is additionally utilized due to the versatility that it presents and the adaptability to the aircraft. This has made Goodrich Corporation the number one solution to the retrofit programs. The system is utilized in the military and commercial planes due to the advantages that are aforementioned (Rainer & Cegielski, 2011, p. 14). The system aids my organization in a number of ways. They include lowering the design and manufacturing costs for the OEMs due to fewer parts and construction that is simple. In addition to that, the system has reduced lifecycle costs. This then leads to improved system presentation and dependability. Furthermore, the system ensures that there is improved accuracy in the system due to the elimination of the pneumatic pressure lag. This is further amplified by the improved altitude accuracy over the static flush ports. The other advantage that the system has is the simplified maintenance for the fact that the parts are accessed easily for spare and patch-up. As opposed to the conventional air data systems, the SmartProbe Air System has fewer fuselage holes. These aids in ensuring the abovementioned advantages are maintained. The system additionally has decreased power consumption that is useful for the organization. Through the reduced power consumption, the system ensures that there is reduced overheating. This is further maintained by the larger thermal management from an in built
Introduction The dissertation will show the importance of quality management in front office in hotel industry. The dissertation will show the effects of quality management systems in front office, organization culture and human resource practices that should be employed in the front office. The type of front office e management that is practiced in any hospitality industry player has a great impact on the image of the organization. A significant performance witnessed in the hospitality industry is due to the front office management. Some believe that the standard procedures practiced in the front office are a key factor in the success of a hotel. This research will take a look at how different standard procedures are employed in the front office of the hotels. It will further look at how this quality management procedures impact the business performance of hospitality industry especially in hotels. For this research a five star hotel will be considered and compared. Bearing in mind the huge coverage of quality management styles of any particular restaurant or hotels, this study is limited to discussion only on the understanding and comparison of front office standard procedures in five star hotels and restaurants in the UK. Despite having many benefits some hotels hopes not to take front office management very serious because they feel that the front office is just like any other office in the organization. However, bearing in mind of the role they play in ensuring success of the organization, it is prudent for any serious hotel industry player to take this very serious. This is because, the world is converging into a small village and multinationals with the best services are taking up the market. No customer will walk into a hotel and have time with unwelcoming environment. Statement of the problem The hotel industry has become the focus of nati0onmal and international traveling. It is front office plays an important role of showing that the restaurant is the best and a customer can patronize with less difficulty. Hotels handle a large number of customers both local and foreign the service they offer or the impression they give at first instance leaves the customers with a certain taste about the restaurant. To be precise, front office, of a hotel industry is about branding of the hotel. And branding of the hotel is essential if the hotel has to succeed. It requires effective standard procedures which are sound in order to produce the best services to people patronizing the hotel. Customers will always have relationship with the brand of a hotel. There will be no brand of any hotel if the hotel does not have effective and sound front office. We cannot talk of quality of any restaurant without the front office. There is an increase to the understanding of customers of the importance of receiving best services for their money and it is this services that will bring the customer back. If any restaurant operator wishes to succeed in the business, they will have to consider a front office as a branding of the hotel. The hotel industry is always surviving because of the front office they have.
The rate of offender recidivism has been an effective tool in measuring the success of the criminal justice system and there have been efforts of several types that aim at reducing the percentage rate of the offenders who re-offend within a specific time period upon re-entry into society. The theoretical basis of the Homebuilder’s Model, which includes the social learning theory of Bandura (1977) as well as the family systems theory of Bowen (1974), can be essential in understanding the means appropriate in reducing offender recidivism. These are essential frameworks in understanding the effective means for criminal justice and these make the basic principles for effective intervention in reducing offender recidivism. One needs to bear in mind that “effective correctional intervention must produce a change in the offender’s fundamental worldview, especially their perception of authority, rules, and accountability. This marks an essential difference between pro-social and anti-social attitudes and behaviors. Addressing this aspect of anti-social logic is a vital part of effective program strategy.” (Gornik, P. 9). Only principles based on theories such as Bandura’s social learning theory or Bowen’s family systems theory can bring about the desired outcomes. Social learning and behavioral intervention can be the best methods in the process of reducing offender recidivism. “Offender change and re-socialization require direct instructional methods, modeling, and observation of the individuals in the environment. Behavioral psychologists such as Albert Bandura have shown us the benefit that social learning plays in teaching and modeling socially acceptable
Introduction This paper seeks to compare Apple and Costco to decide which of the two companies is better to acquire for investment purposes. The financial statements for the last two years will be used to compute their profitability ratios and operating costs in relation to revenues and assets as basis for making a decision Analysis and Discussion Comparative profitability of Apple and Costco Based on their profitable ratios, Apple is more profitable than Costco. Apple has a return on equity (ROE) of 23% in 2008 and 20% in 2009, or a slight decrease from the preceding year. Costco, on the other hand, has an ROE of 14% in 2008 and this also decreased to 11% in 2009. Thus, it could be assumed that the decrease in profitability of the retail industry is external in a cause. In other words, the global financial crisis has affected the retail industry because of the lower purchasing power of customers for the company’s products and services in 2009 as compared to 2008. See Appendix A. The average return on equity (ROE) is higher for Apple than for Costco for the past two years. In fact, the difference is almost doubled in favor of Apple. It may be noted that return on equity uses the formula where net profit is divided by the total stockholders’ equity. When compared to an average rate of 0.25%, if money is invested in a bank, Apple’s present average ROE of 12% still makes it to more than twenty times as against Costco and therefore investors have reason to acquire the company or stay with the company. Although Costco’s average ROE is still high at 6%, which is more than 20 times over that risk-free rate, it is more profitable to view Apple as it has higher ROE. See Appendix A. The 0.25% benchmark is the US base rate of the Federal Reserve Bank that could represent the risk-free rate investment in the US (Housepricecrash.co.uk, 2009). The same could be used as an estimate of the opportunity cost of a company making an investment by acquisition or otherwise. Comparative operating Cost of Apple and Costco The operating costs of the two companies are also important in determining their profitability. The accounting concept provides that net income is computed by deducting the cost and expenses fr
Employment Relations in China China’s management style results from the country’s long-lasting communist traditions and is concerned directive. Cultural influence resulted in the kind of employment relations when the senior management team gives instructions to the subordinates who have to follow the directions. Also, Confucianism has always played an essential role in every aspect of Chinese relationships, including employment (Mazanec et al. 2015). Confusion tradition implies that the word of elderly (or senior authority) is the most influential one, and the management style has always conformed to this definition. However, in recent decades the country’s approaches to employment relations started to change, giving way to strategic human resource management (SHRM) (Tang et al. 2014). SHRM has proven to impact corporate entrepreneurship (Tang et al. 2014). Modern labor policy in China is different from the traditional ones, and the country is undergoing an increase in collective bargaining (Lee, Brown & Wen 2014). Due to this policy, China’s workers tend to defend their rights for decent working conditions (Lee, Brown & Wen 2014). Another sign of the changing employment relations in China is that the country is adopting a new decentralized method of labor relations (Friedman & Kuruvilla 2015). Specific political restrictions in the country disable interest accumulation among the employees since the government considers it a threat to social stability (Friedman & Kuruvilla 2015). Despite the restrictions, specialists note steps towards decentralization. However, such movement is more frequently observed at the municipal degree (Friedman & Kuruvilla 2015). Zhang (2015) mentions that Chinese companies experience the movement from despotic management to hegemonic one. Such change enables the workers to obtain more rights concerning their work options. Thus, it can be mentioned that China is making the first steps towards altering its traditional employment relations, but these steps are rather restricted by the government and authorities. Employment Relations in Hong Kong Hong Kong, which has been under British rule for a long time, has been impacted by the British Empire in many aspects, including employment relationships. While the city is a part of mainland China, its management style in more open-minded. Collective decision-making is in favor of the Hong Kong management style. (Gao 2015). One of the ways of enhancing the city’s employment standards is the implementation of communication and information technologies (Ninaus et al. 2015). Hong Kong government pays attention to the elimination of stressful situations in the workplace. Thus, new technologies are employed by companies to facilitate their employees’ abilities and ende
Summary Description of Its Structure and Purpose Orgnet.com is a social website that offers social network analysis services and software to be used or applied in various organisations and communities. Company and organisation consultants also comprise a big percentage of users (Krebs, 2010). This social website was established in California in 1995 and it has since then grown to attain global use with clients from all over the world. The website is very useful to companies as it allows measuring, analysing and mapping these networks on organisations, businesses or communities. NetVis offers software and services that can be used to visualize these networks. This can be achieved by use of data for demonstration, uploading a typed social network or copy pasting the data. These social websites can boast of having provided services to the world’s biggest and famous companies and organisations including IBM, Boeing, Booz Allen Hamilton, Centres for Disease Control [CDC] (Krebs, 2010), Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Genetic Alliance, Google, Hiram Walker, Lucent Technologies, MacArthur Foundation, Pact, Vodafone, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, University of Michigan Business School, Shell, a number of governmental departments, thousands of independent consultants and non-profit organizations (Krebs, 2010). These organisations as well as individuals use software and other services provided by orgnet.com to measure and assess their networks and map these networks in communities, organisation and in other intricate human systems. Overall “Look And Feel” and Apparent Target Audience These social websites are well designed and simple to use because of the way they are structured with clear commands which direct and guide the users to the specific services or information they want to access. The services are useful for consultants, monitoring and evaluation officers, general managers, researchers, program developers, project managers, students, instructors (lecturers), healthcare providers, bankers and general business persons among others (Coronas & Oliva, 2004, p. 74). This is due to the diversity of software and services that can be provided by the social website (Cummings, 2009). This impression comes about as a user explores the website. Initially, exploration of the site is easy and just by the click of the button one can perform any task and navigate to any page one chooses to view. For instance, there are links to the all the resources hence several Social network analysis tools in a number of fields can be accessed and be used. Websites linked to NetVis offer a wider and diverse perceptive of how the social network tools function in various fields (Cummings, 2009). Nonetheless, contrary to the use of links to access resources, these sites become a little confusing when one seek more specific tools. This is caused by the technical terminologies used on the site. This is why the sites targets people who are experts in various fields and can understand what they are searching for from all the technical jargon. Because of the intricate terminology for certain links, Tec
In her book Doughnut Economics , Kate Raworth discusses the main aspects of the modern economy, the challenges of economic growth, and changes to be promoted in society. Despite my desire to find a purpose in economics, reading economic literature is not always easy to follow. Most books and articles contain various complex terms and definitions that confuse and frighten a novice reader. I admire the approach chosen by Raworth that differentiates her from other theorists by analyzing economics from new perspectives that can be interesting to non-economists. It is always a responsible step for me to learn the first chapters and realize if the whole book could attract my attention with time. At this moment, I got a chance to investigate the preface “Who Want to Be an Economist?” and the first chapter, “Change the Goal.” Each section has its purpose, and my major discovery is that it is necessary for modern economists to change something right now to achieve positive outcomes with time. A preface of the book is a great opportunity for me to understand the main questions raised in the book and develop several personal and professional expectations. Raworth (2017) begins her discussion by mentioning the name of an ordinary student, Yuan Yang, who decided to study economics and got frustrated about her choice soon. On the one hand, I have many questions concerning such a dubious decision to begin the book about economics with severe criticism of economic theories and education in general. Raworth (2017) states that students either “walked away from economics or swallowed its theories whole and built a lucrative career out of their qualification” (p. 2). I think that not many individuals would like to proceed with studying the subject after such honest and provocative statements. On the other hand, I notice that the author challenges the reader and herself with the necessity to prove that economics is worth attention and research if correct priorities are set. Therefore, I wanted to continue reading the section and find out Raworth’s attitude toward economics that allowed her to create the Doughnut concept. The financial crisis, student protests, and a symbolic revolution of economics are the themes that increase my desire to continue reading. I believe that, instead of supporting the readers in their choices to study economics, Raworth (2017) deliberately underlines that it is high time to reveal confusing old ideas and replace them with new ones for insp
We are lucky to be born in the age of new technologies and active learning; it means that we can gain the most from the process of studying. In this paper, I want to analyze my personal preferences in learning and see if they correlate with the key approaches to teaching (behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism). It is apparent that behaviorism is not exactly compatible with my preference of kinesthetic learning, but as the teaching approaches have been diversifying, people like me were getting more and more opportunities. I argue that my style of learning is best correlated with constructivism and that online learning expands my opportunities. My preferred learning style is kinesthetic learning. It is easier for me to learn by physical movement, for example, by actually performing an action. Similarly, I need to participate in various activities (Wong 5-6). To improve my learning performance, I need to have a first-hand experience (Chiu et al. 215). Unfortunately, kinesthetic activities are probably the most difficult to integrate into traditional learning process (Dunkle 32). I would not say that the rest of the styles are completely inapplicable to me, but I have a strong preference for the kinesthetic one. Behaviorism is an approach to learning that used to be dominant up until recently and that can be characterized by the theory of behavioral conditioning. The relationship between teacher and learner, in this case, involves rewarding positive and punishing negative behavior (Pelet 2). Students are supposed to be passive, and individual approach is not inherent for behaviorism, even though nowadays it is being combined with other approaches, which makes it more diversity-friendly (Jordan, Carlile and Stack 34). Drilling and instruction are its key applications (Pelet 2). These aspects do not coincide with my learning style and learning style differentiation in general. Cognitivism appeared later than behaviorism and was a response to its flaws (Pelet 2). It focused on the study of cognition and used the gained knowledge to improve learning and teaching (Jordan, Carlile and Stack 36-37). This approach presupposes a more active learner while the teacher supervises and directs; also, cognitivism involves an individual approach to teaching. I think that cognitivism can be used to justify kinesthetic learning. Constructivism can be defined as the most kinesthetic-friendly teaching approach. According to constructivis
The ICD-9-CM has been derived from the little changed statistical billing which has been this way for the last three centuries. The ICD-9-CM depends mostly upon the tabular data structure. This standard has no mechanism for the synonym, value restrictions, and inheritance or semantic and non-semantic it has got limited concept hierarchies. This medical record system, which, should be integrated, has the major problem of the difference between the controlled vocabularies of the two systems. For this reason new standard is need to be adopted. Although the system developers find it difficult to adopt new standard as it does not fulfill there need.
