This document provides an overview of different types of goods: private goods, public goods, common resources, and club goods. It defines key characteristics of excludability and rivalry in consumption. Private goods are excludable and rival, while public goods are non-excludable and non-rival. Common resources are non-excludable but rival. The document discusses how free riders can consume public goods without paying and the tragedy of the commons, where common resources are depleted if not regulated. Government policy options are discussed to address issues with non-private goods.

Rising prices are caused by printing money faster than producing goods. This document contrasts nominal values, which use current prices, with real values, which adjust for inflation using a base year. It provides examples of how inflation affects nominal GDP and total spending on pizza and soda over time, but real GDP and spending levels adjust prices to show the true changes after accounting for inflation. The GDP deflator is used to calculate real GDP from nominal GDP and inflation rates show the change in the GDP deflator from one year to the next.

The document discusses the key principles of pharmacology including:
- Pharmacology is the study of drugs, how they work, and their effects on the body.
- Drugs have chemical, generic, and trade names. Their effects depend on factors like dosage formulation and administration route.
- The body affects drugs through absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion which determine a drug's onset, duration and half-life.
- Drugs produce therapeutic effects through mechanisms like receptor interaction and enzyme modulation but can also cause unintended side effects and interactions.
- Pharmacotherapeutics involves monitoring various aspects of drug therapy effectiveness and safety.
This document discusses key topics in health economics including the pharmaceutical industry, who pays for healthcare costs, competition among drug companies, the high costs and long development process to create new drugs, patent timelines that limit how drug companies can profit from new drugs, and price discrimination where different prices are charged for the same product.

BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Chinese Brands (Chinese Version)Kantar
This is the fourth publication of the BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Chinese Brands report and ranking, which has become the definitive annual study of brand valuation and development in China. This year we have provided a more extensive view of the market, and doubled the number of brands analyzed from 50 to 100. The 2014 ranking includes eight new categories, bringing the total covered to 21, and our greatly expanded report examines brand building in a rebalancing China.
Our initial analysis revealed a peek into the future of brands in China. We discovered that brands in the expanded portion of the ranking are predominately market-driven, rather than state owned. These market-driven brands are also high in brand contribution, the BrandZ™ measure of brand strength. Our findings show that Chinese entrepreneurs have been developing market-driven companies and valuable brands across many product and service categories for some time. And, as rebalancing unleashes competition, these brands now will grow more rapidly in value.
This inevitable brand evolution raises many questions. What’s the effect on Chinese brands compared with foreign brands in China? How does the shift influence competition between market-driven brands and SOEs (State Owned Enterprises)? How does it impact the momentum of Chinese brands going global?
Read the report to gain invaluable insight about Chinese brands and creating meaningfully different brands in a rebalancing China.

The document discusses monopoly and perfect competition in markets. It defines monopoly as a market with a single seller and significant barriers to entry. A key characteristic of monopolies is that to increase quantity sold, they must lower the price they charge. The document contrasts monopoly with perfect competition, where numerous small firms have negligible power to affect price and each firm's demand curve is perfectly elastic. Under perfect competition, firms maximize profits by producing at the quantity where marginal cost equals price.

The teaching profession is challenging as teachers must make lessons meaningful and relevant to students' lives. While the curriculum is congested, teachers strive to store important information in students' long-term memory so they can appreciate the beauty of the world. The goal of meaningful learning is to make school as relevant as possible to students. However, teaching is a never-ending quest, as teachers must consider how to respond to today's needs and fill students' minds with important rather than just half of the information.
1) Practice teaching is an important but challenging part of teacher training that tests students' commitment to teaching and requires independent learning.
2) Creating effective lesson plans, particularly developing objectives and motivation, is difficult but important for engaging students.
3) Support from cooperating teachers is invaluable for learning teaching strategies and preparing for final demonstrations.
The author is reflecting on their experience with practice teaching, which will be ending in one week. While they view the ending as a relief, they acknowledge that the experiences have been valuable. Teaching is difficult, especially for a beginner, but the author sees it as an opportunity to take risks and learn from mistakes. The essence of life, according to the author, is to change, be inspired, and have an open dialogue. They define teaching as a career that demands continual growth, development, and learning. The motivation to improve comes from within the author and their desire to properly educate students. They seek feedback from students to evaluate their own progress.

Students Assessment, Achievement and BehaviorBryan Nozaleda
This journal entry discusses the author's reflections on their four remaining weeks of student teaching. It explores how student assessments, achievements, and behavior impact the author's development as a teacher. The author finds student test scores and behavior motivational, but acknowledges two months is not enough time to see changes in behavior. The author hopes being affected by students encourages further growth into a capable educator.
The document discusses a pre-service teacher's reflections on using various teaching strategies in their lessons. The teacher discusses struggling at first with focusing too much on content but learning the importance of strategies to engage students. Some strategies they have used successfully include Read-Think-Pair-Share, collaborative learning, jigsaw activities, games, and higher-order thinking questions. The teacher finds creating worksheets that require interpretation and problem-solving to be effective. Overall, the teacher feels teaching is a task-based and problem-based process and they still have more to learn but are making progress in using different strategies.
Classroom Management and the Teaching Learning ProcessBryan Nozaleda
The document discusses the challenges of classroom management and effective teaching. It notes that classroom management is difficult due to noisy or off-task students. Maintaining an ideal learning environment requires managing student behavior. Engaging students and eliciting their understanding is also challenging, as students may say they don't understand or find the material complicated. Effective teaching requires adapting to student needs using a variety of skills. The success of teaching and learning depends on both processes being interlinked.
The Learning Environment and Diversity of LearnersBryan Nozaleda
The document discusses the author's first teaching experiences at TCSHS. It describes handling 5 different classes on their first day back from vacation, with varying levels of engagement between the higher and lower sections. The author appreciated the students' participation by asking questions. TCSHS is praised for maintaining small class sizes in well-ventilated, lighted classrooms conducive to learning. The school also advocates technology use in teaching and learning, with multimedia devices, televisions, an e-library, and good supplementary books. The diversity of learners presents a challenge to sustain student excitement, but the physical learning environment is well-supported for 21st century education.
The document discusses the importance of community involvement in schools. It describes a school family day event where parents, teachers, local government, and others participated in games and activities. This showed the author that every school is a miniature community that requires collaboration between various stakeholders to succeed. The author realizes teaching is a crucial role because teachers are responsible for students' success and ability to support themselves, pay taxes, and be productive citizens. Parents must also guide their children's learning to supplement what is taught in school and help them achieve their dreams.
The document discusses the author's experience with their mentor during their practice teaching. They were nervous but excited to teach at Tuguegarao City Science High School. Their mentor was known to be strict but provide good strategies. During their first meeting, the mentor gave the author a teaching method to use. The author hopes their mentor will provide an orientation, explain classroom management, and communicate gently while being willing to support the author. The author believes they will learn from any mistakes and hopes their experience will be calm under the guidance of their mentor.
The document discusses community linkages between schools and outside communities. It states that teachers play a key role in facilitating these connections by talking both inside and outside of school. Teachers are seen as respectable members of both the student and parent community. While teachers have high social status, they are underappreciated economically. The document also discusses the author's volunteer work during their field study placement, where they helped clean laboratories and gardens at the school and performed in a Christmas program.
Three sentences summarizing the document:
The document discusses the differences between teachers and educators, with teachers focusing on passing on information and ensuring it is learned correctly, while true educators draw out the intelligence and abilities within students, allowing them to develop their talents. It provides several examples of educators being able to uncover the abilities in students who had been labeled or discounted, such as unlikely students winning a speech contest. The essence of teaching is creating numerous learning moments every day through an educator's actions, experience, and creativity, though current standardized testing trends have reduced teaching to testing administration.
This document discusses educational philosophies and the author's reflections on observing a teacher. It begins by listing statements related to different educational philosophies. The author then observes a science teacher and notes that the teacher uses elements of progressivism, existentialism, perennialism, and behaviorism. Through this observation, the author gains insight into how their own educational philosophy will influence their teaching approach and ability to address diverse learners by creating a conducive learning environment.
The document discusses various print-based media and techniques, including etching, linocut, screen printing, lithography, letterpress, gravure, photocopying, laser printing, inkjet printing, desktop publishing, and 3D printing. It provides detailed descriptions and steps for different print processes like etching, linocut, screen printing and lithography. The document aims to educate about traditional and digital print media forms.
This document introduces chemical bonding and discusses Lewis dot representations to show valence electrons for different elements, as well as ionic and covalent bonding types. It provides examples of Lewis dot diagrams for elements with varying valence electron counts and introduces the concepts of ionic and covalent bonding.
Within a few million light-years of the Milky Way are several dozen galaxies that make up the Local Group, including the Andromeda Galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is the largest galaxy in the Local Group and shares many similarities with the Milky Way, such as both being large spiral galaxies of roughly the same age. Other notable galaxies in the Local Group include the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which orbit the Milky Way.
The Milky Way galaxy is a spiral galaxy that contains our solar system, including Earth. It is called the Milky Way because it appears as a dim glowing band of light in the night sky. The Milky Way is over 100,000 light years in diameter and Earth orbits around the Milky Way at approximately 128,000 miles per hour as part of the Milky Way's structure.
Nebulae are clouds of gas and dust in space. There are several types including dark nebulae which appear black, reflection nebulae which glow blue from reflected starlight, and emission nebulae which glow in specific colors due to ionized gas. Quasars are extremely bright active galactic nuclei containing supermassive black holes. The first quasar, 3C 273, was discovered in the 1960s and found to be billions of light years away. Blazars are a type of quasar that emit most of their energy as gamma rays and X-rays. Quasars can be thousands of times brighter than entire galaxies and contain disks of superhot gas and jets of matter near supermassive black holes.
The interstellar medium is the matter that exists between stars in galaxies, consisting of gas and microscopic dust particles. About 1% of a galaxy's mass is made up of interstellar medium. In the Milky Way, the density of the interstellar medium is about 1 atom per cubic centimeter, much less dense than Earth's atmosphere. Molecular clouds within the interstellar medium can be enormous, many light years across and containing thousands of times the mass of the Sun. The interstellar medium plays an important role in the formation of stars, planets and other astronomical objects.
Black holes in galaxies and active galaxiesBryan Nozaleda
Every galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center. When matter falls into the black hole rapidly, tremendous amounts of energy are released. Galaxies with actively feeding black holes at their centers are called active galactic nuclei or AGNs. The luminosity of an AGN depends mainly on the rate at which matter falls into the central supermassive black hole.
