Introduction The quality customer service relies on organizational culture fostering among the employees. In this respect, sound leadership is a critical indicator of maintaining the core values and competencies among the followers, who focus on the realization of the organizational goals and objectives. Additionally, networking is a vital element for enhancing coordination and interdependence. Disney is one of the multiple enterprises that have valued a corporate culture like a facilitator of sustainability after incorporation. The content of the article A ‘Mickey Mouse’ Class – For Real reveals various features of the corporate culture and empathy networking that is peculiar for Disney. Thus, this paper analyzes the Disney’s organizational culture. Moreover, it discloses a personal reflection of the basic feasible networking ideas that are adopted by the company. Disney’s Corporate Culture The corporate culture created a powerful impact on Disney’s reputation that was supported by the enterprise for many years. Therefore, the organization strives to inculcate this culture in its workforce. The management of the corporation practices diverse seminars and training programs so that to emphasize the essence of sound leadership and customer satisfaction within Disney. The administration of the company attracts highly efficient specialists since it puts a strong emphasize on a powerful Disney workforce. The recruitment procedure runs in two stages. First, it strives to provide the candidates with consistent training so that they had an excellent understanding of the work processes. Second, it conducts an actual recruitment procedure. On this stage, the primary assets of a corporate culture, as well as the key competencies among the interested professionals, are promoted. For example, the pixie dust formula that incorporates training, communication, and care shows that executives are expected to perform two ta
Introduction Religion is one of the most interesting aspects of Ancient Egypt. However, a complete guide to Egyptian religious practices has not transcended our age but can be deciphered from their sacred texts. A wide view of ancient spirituality and its observances is known from considerable remnants and the reports of ancient chroniclers. (Clerk, xxi)Early Egyptian thoughts and imaginations resulted in a series of gods and goddesses to whom much was attributed to. Prior to the religious conception of God, man’s thoughts were centred entirely on natural phenomena. However, it could be said that it was the Egyptians who took the concept of gods further. Egyptian beliefs in gods evolved slowly over a very long period of time. This whole conception of gods in a personalized form evolved as a result of the realization of a higher sense of individuality among men. In Egypt, every region had its own deity that was represented by the shapes of animals. through time, however, these gods and goddesses were given human attributes and human bodies. Owing to the integrative function of religion, Egyptian civilization quickly developed. Below are some of the Egyptian gods who played very important roles in the civilization of Egypt. Isis One of the earliest gods whose worship extends up to this very day is Isis, the goddess of medicine. It is believed that she taught mankind the secrets of medicine. Egyptians throughout the land have reverence for her as a great mother goddess who represents the most intimate form of maternal spirit. She is also considered the protector of the dead. She was often represented as a woman putting on her head a hieroglyphic symbol of her name, sometimes with horns and solar discs but during the Greek and Roman conquests, she later adopted various forms. She is one of a few deities with wings. Isis not only influenced the lives of the Egyptians but also was admired by other people. This extended the influence of the Egyptian culture in the sense that some pieces of Egyptian religion dominated other cultures. Cleopatra, an Egyptian queen often viewed herself as a personification of Isis. When the Greeks and later the Romans conquered Egypt, they were impressed by her and thus took her image to their mother Empires. Among the prominent Roman cities that Isis was worshipped is Pompeii. Aten Another Egyptian god who influenced the political life of Egyptians was Aten. In the 14 th Century BC, Akhnaton, who was an Egyptian pharaoh, proclaimed that there was only one true God who should be revered by all mankind. Akhnaton wanted to unite all the people of Egypt under one god and thus discarded the traditional cults, replacing them with Aten. According to the pharaoh, Aten was the creative force in the Universe that propelled every living thing and non-living thing. Unlike many of the Egyptian gods, Aten had no physical image and his origin was not known. H
5 A’s Intervention Plan Proposal Today, smoking is one of the primary causes of significant illnesses and even death. Despite this fact, it is preventable if a person breaks the habit or seeks a professional’s help and undergoes therapy. Otherwise, several smoking-related severe illnesses such as cancer, heart diseases, and strokes can arise, which leads to several million deaths every year. The problem stands even more urgently among patients with mental disorders, contributing to higher morbidity and mortality rates in those individuals. Many psychological and social considerations affect the worsening conditions for the patients, but most importantly, the lack of intervention programs in medical units. The issue of institutional inability to provide essential smoking secession services leads to the necessity of introducing a working intervention 5 A’s plan. Background and Significance The significance of introducing smoking cessation programs primarily in mental health units is even greater because the problem of smoking is more prevalent there. The number of smokers with mental disorders (MD) is up to four times higher compared to the overall population (Loreto et al., 2017). It may be one of the underlying reasons why people with MD have higher mortality. It puts patients with schizophrenia, depression, and alcohol-related disorders at a higher risk of developing vascular disease and cancer (Anderson, 2017). It also severely complicates the treatment process as smoking can reduce blood levels of neuroleptics and lead to higher doses needed with the following harsher side effects. The negative impact is also supported by the lack of an actual desire to quit among the patients diagnosed with severe mental illnesses. Harsh effects require immediate actions to be taken to prevent adverse consequences. The treatment for patients with MD typically includes the same smoking cessation treatment as for the general population but is more intense due to possible higher nicotine dependence. The smoking cessation treatment involves pharmacological and psychological methods combined to achieve better results. The pharmacological treatment consists of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), including patches, gum, or other nicotine substitutes. Psychological support is primarily accomplished through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to ensure the treatment’s effectiveness through battling mental blocks. Problem Statement The necessity of introducing the intervention plan becomes apparent because of the provided statistics on the increased smoking rates among patients with MD and the following comorbidity and mortality rates. Necessary practices in psychological and pharmacological fields were also reviewed as positively affecting smoking secession. However, the issue begins to arise on the stage of the actual implementation of the program. First, the problem in the current setting of a smoking-free inpatient behavioral unit with adult smokers with MD is the lack of provided counseling even with suggested NRT. The therapy in the form of CBT proves to be an evidence-based structured intervention for smoking cessation
Complete and reliable statistical information is the necessary foundation on which the management and organization of health care in all countries is based. All information of medical relevance is ultimately processed and analyzed using medical statistics. Medical and statistical data make it possible to determine the incidence of certain types of pathology, highlight the most priority areas for the preventive work of doctors, identify the main trends in the development of diseases, and predict the outcome of epidemics. The development of modern medicine is largely due to the ongoing statistical research, which makes it possible to assess the level of health of the population, periods of rising and fall in morbidity. It helps to determine the ratio of healthy people and disabled people, the effectiveness and availability of health care personnel, equipment, the frequency of occurrence of new diseases, and much more. Based on medical statistics, forecasts are created, and problem areas are identified, for which new ways and methods of solution need to be sought. Currently, medical statistics are constantly being modernized. The annual change in federal statistical observation and the introduction of new monitoring contribute to obtaining more detailed indicators for further analysis in the healthcare sector. The statistical application assesses the level of risk in a patient with one pathology or another, analyzes the patient’s condition, and chooses the most rational treatment method to investigate the level of health of both an individual patient and a selected group (up to the health of the nation. It helps to examine the population’s standard of living and its relationship with the level of fitness as “selection is a fundamental problem in survival analysis” (He, 2020, p. 3). It is essential for determining the influence of environmental factors on the state of the patient’s body and other medico-social, medico-biological, medico-economic, and medico-statistical phenomena and processes. Mastering statistical methodology is one of the conditions for the medical market conjuncture, the study of trends and forecasting, making optimal decisions at all activity levels. Statistical methods can be different and are based on “disproportionality analysis, traditional pharmacoepidemiological designs (e.g. self-controlled designs), sequence symmetry analysis (SSA), sequential statistical testing, temporal association rules, supervised machine learning (SML), and the tree-based scan statistic” (Arnaud, et al., 2017, p. 722). The final, analytical stage of the research is complex, laborious, and responsible. At this stage, the average and distribution indicators are considered, the population structure is analyzed, the dynamics and the relationship between the studied phenomena and processes are in
Explain how Real Business Cycle Theory seeks to explain the business cycle as the result of productivity shocks. The theory of the Real Business Cycle was formulated by economists Finn Kydland and Edward Prescott in 1982. They aimed to explain those factors that influence and eventually bring changes to the decisions of the players in an economy. These economists attributed these changes to technological shocks. They argued that business cycles come about as a result of random changes in the growth rate of business sector productivity and also by random changes in technology which intern fluctuates the constant growth trend up or down. These shocks include an increase in imported petroleum products prices, unfavorable weather, and stricter environmental and safety regulations. Hansen, Gary D. 1985. The theory explains that booms in an economy occur when productivity grows at a more than average rate. That is when a favorable technological shock is in effect, while a recession occurs when productivity in the economy grows at a less than average rate. That is when the unfavorable technological shock is in effect. Unfavorable technological shock directly reduces the effectiveness of capital or labor or both. Change in these factors of production affects the decisions of the firm to change the product it produces. It also affects the decision by workers of what they buy. These changes affect the level of output of both the firm and the workers. Hansen, Gary D. 1985. Prescott argued that business cycles are not caused by monetary and financial changes. According to him, economic booms result from an unexpectedly fast increase in money supply while recessions result from an unexpected fall in the money supply. The theory uses changes in an economy’s productivity to explain its cyclical booms and recessions. Economies’ output productivity can be looked at as the sum of all the total value added by all the firms in an economy. An economy’s total productivity can be associated with the time taken by workers working in the firms and the quantity and quality of the capital goods such as buildings and machinery used in assisting the production process. Lucas, Robert E., Jr. 1977. Productivity can change if the effectiveness of labor and capital equipment used in production changes. If the firms devise a means of producing a commodity that reduces on wastage of raw materials, i.e., the means allows the same amount of products to be produced using fewer raw materials, the value addition at any given amount of hours worked and capital used would be higher. This brings about a favorable change in total factor productivity. Total factor productivity changes are brought by improvement in the technology for producing commodities coupled with improvement in labor skills. Total factor productivity can also change due to the invention of new products by the firms or when the price of an important imported input such as oil rises or falls.
Introduction According to Burroughs (2), Climate change is defined the alteration of the weather patterns of a particular place over a long period of time. This alteration can be traced by measuring the weather phenomenon under parameters such as temperature, precipitation and wind patterns. This climate change can only be proven by comparing the climatic conditions of a particular place in two or more different times. These changes are as a result of the changes in the factors which determine the amount of sunlight that gets to the earth surface. Additionally, they also result from changes in factors which determine the amount of sun energy which is given up by the earth surface. Another aspect which is considered as climatic change is the wide variability in the weather conditions of a particular place, notwithstanding the fact that the average weather conditions remains constant. To qualify as an aspect of climatic change, the variations in weather condition must be studied over a period of time. This is because climatic change is understood as a pattern of weather change over a long period of time. The main facts of how the climate is changing The climate change has been a continuous trend on earth for many years. According to Beniston (128), it has been documented that the global sea level has risen by about 170mm over a period of 100 years. It is estimated that this rate is likely to double with time if the current trend remains. Additionally, the temperature on earth has risen in recent times by higher rates than was previously experienced. This increase has been witnessed since 1970s and this trend projected to continue for the next 20 years. Research has established that, the global temperature is expected to increase with time and this might have serious catastrophic effects. In addition, this increase in temperature has been responsible for the warming of the oceans. It has been said that, the oceans have absorbed the sun energy causing an increase in temperature of the oceans waters for up to 700 meters. The sunrays, when they come across a surface, produce heat as they reflect back. This is why the sun is believed to heat the atmosphere from the ground. That is why the ocean water temperatures tend to raise when struck by sun energy. Another evidence of climatic change is the decline in the mass of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctic. Between 2002 and 2006, Greenland lost about 150 cubic kilometers of ice sheet every year. During the same period, Antarctic lost about the same amount of ice sheet. Research has also established that there has been a decline in the amount of sea ice in the arctic over time due to the increase in the temperature over the earth. The glacier
Introduction The short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” stands as the American Southern Gothic writer Flannery O’Connor’s most disturbing work of fiction. “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” is the title work of O’Connor’s debut collection of short stories which appeared in 1955, and the piece remains her signature short story (Kinney 1). Short Summary of “A Good Man is Hard to Find” The action of “A Good Man is Hard to Find” depicts a family vacation gone terribly awry. On a road trip to Florida a family from Atlanta encounter a homicidal escaped convict whom the media dubs The Misfit. The Misfit and his henchmen execute the entire family and steal their clothes, car and cat. O’Connor tells the story from the point of view of the grandmother. “A Good Man is Hard to Find” Theme Analysis “A Good Man is Hard to Find” centers upon two themes: selfishness, and individualism. Essentially the grandmother’s insistence on achieving her own selfish ends results in the death of her entire family, as well as the loss of her own life. This essay analyzes the story’s thematic message in regards to selfishness, individualism and its effect on the family as well as the larger community, as represented by The Misfit. “A Good Man is Hard to Find” Character Analysis: the Grandmother O’Connor identifies the main character – the grandmother – only by role, while all of the other character she provides with names. Despite having no name the grandmother’s character reveals itself early and profoundly; she is obsessed with appearances, connected to a vague Southern past, and concerned with propriety and the value of being a lady. O’Connor describes her “navy blue straw sailor hat,” her “collars and cuffs [that] were white organdy trimmed with lace” and “purple spray of cloth violets containing a sachet” that the grandmother pins at her neckline to ensure that “in case of an accident, anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady” (O’Connor 2). Behavior wise the grandmother is a selfish woman who deliberately manipulates her family to suit her own purposes unapologetically and with impunity. She intentionally misinforms her son Bailey about her cat, Pitty Sing, which she smuggles into the car underneath her “big black valise that looked like the head of a hippopotamus,” even though Bailey has expressly forbid the cat to share the motel room with them (O’Connor 1). Pitty Sing later brings about the deaths of the whole family following the car accident and ensuing encounter with The Misfit. The grandmother’s pride and inflated sense of self importance, not to mention her failing memory, bring about the family’s downfall. Upon waking up from a nap in the car, the grandmother claims to remember a plantation house from her youth. Even though she knows that her son Bailey “would not be willing to lose any time looking at an old house…the more she talked about it, the more she wanted to see it once again and find out if the little twin arbors were sti
“There is a divinity that shapes our ends” is the feeling evoked in us as we course through the Aeschyllian trilogy, and we may be quite sure that this feeling was placed in our innermost core, not inadvertently, but purposefully. It is done, with the great genius of thought and skill of craft. Aeschylus, the past master of theatrical techniques, has, throughout three plays, brought out the invisible hands of the gods that are Omnipresent in the life of every Athenian or every human being. But he is very particular that such an imposing presence is not omnipotent. He presents the age-old “an eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth” theory in the first two plays. He pulls his readers to a profound shift in the conception of justice from the ‘doer must suffer to the more legalistic ‘doer must be tried’. This also pairs well with the cultural context of Athens at the time this play was written. According to Goldhill an obligation or ‘commitment to the polis’ was a popularly held sentiment and the citizens of Athens in particular felt that there was ‘an ought to act sentiment’ for the good of the polis instead of themselves. The establishment of a court system in which citizens voted on the outcome of fellow citizens clearly demonstrates this sense of communalism. The words that Apollo utter to give hope to a fleeing Orestes testifies to this fact “ There (in Athens), clasping the ancient image of the goddess, thou shalt find judges, /who at last shall free thee wholly from these ills.” It is a god pointing out to a mortal, that he will be freed by judges, from the Furies, which have been unleashed by an unlawful act, and not he himself, who is a god (Aeschylus Oresteria). Says William von Humboldt of the Agamemnon, and his remarks might be applied to the entire trilogy: “Among all the products of the Greek stage none can compare with it in tragic power; no other play shows the same intensity and pureness of belief in the divine and good; none can surpass the lessons it teaches, and the wisdom of which it is the mouthpiece.” In order to perch on the idea, we should be ready to take flight through the sky of Aeschylus’ technique of dramatization where the gods and goddesses are really concerned about the outcome of human actions. It must have given Athenians a lot of satisfaction to see that the celestials were so concerned in their day-to-day activities. In the first play
Introduction Microplastic contamination of soil and water is a global environmental issue that has not yet been thoroughly addressed. There are no standardized methods of data collection and evaluation, as well as comprehensive sample databases. In recent studies, infrared scanning has been used to identify plastic particles in soil without extraction and was proved to be an effective way of solving the sample collection problem. In the research by Ng et al., a convolutional neural network (CNN) was suggested as a method of measuring and classifying the levels of contamination. This proposal aims to continue the research of microplastics contamination using infrared scanning and the CNN model by creating an extensive database of samples and expanding the spectral library. Identified Problem and Previous Research Microplastic contamination is one of the most serious current environmental concerns. Microplastics are plastic pieces less than 5 millimeters in size used to manufacture consumer products, such as synthetic fabrics, toothpaste, and skincare items. Being washed down the drain, they are not removed by wastewater treatment and get into the soil and water. There are concerns that microplastics produce a negative effect on the environment as they absorb toxic chemicals that build up over time and can affect human health. The current research on microplastics pollution focuses on the development of the methods of microplastic identification and extraction, the study of the main sources of pollution, and its effect on the environment and human health. The presence of microplastics in water sources has been studied in more detail, while its impact on soil remains largely unexplored. No standardized methods have yet been developed for identification and measurement. Is it still not established how much microplastics can exist within the soil and what can be regarded as the
