• Ryanair's operations have been consistently plagued with employee discontent and protests (Temming, 2017). Communication between Line Managers and employees has been tensed, and performance has suffered as a result. The Company would benefit from the strategic positioning and interpersonal skills of the Human Resource Business Partner. • As an employee advocate, he or she would engage employees in dialogue and ensure that whatever findings are made are brought to the attention of the line manager promptly to be addressed. • Also, as a collaborative partner, he would assist in channeling the needs of the line manager in a way that will be understood and well received by subordinates. • Effective communication would eventually lead to mutual understanding and benefit for all parties. • It would go a long way in developing a strong company culture where individuals are not afraid to express their thoughts and ideas. and would shift focus away from conflict towards meeting Organizational goals. 01 CONSTRUCTIVE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MANAGEMENT AND STAFF 02 EFFECTIVE CHANGE MANAGEMENT • The Greek Philosopher, Heraclitus stated that “Change is the only constant of life” (Rothwell et al., 2015). This statement is pertinent to the rapidly changing business climate (Lauer, 2019, p3) in which Ryanair finds itself. • A company’s readiness and reaction to change are important in determining success. From our current state analysis, we discovered that several tasks may be expedited and optimized with the introduction of new technology. • However, this must be introduced strategically to prevent resistance. The role of the Human Resources Business Partner is essential in this regard. • He or She would determine the need for change and ensure reception of the change by employing effective communication strategies (McCracken et al., 2017). • Apart from a change in technology, other elements that may undergo transformation include processes, policies, personnel, amongst others. It is important that these changes are taken in stride so that they do not forestall operations. 03 FOCUSED TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING • The Business Partner would be instrumental in identifying areas requiring competency improvements (Onen, 2013) in Ryanair. • Through a series of activities such as performance reviews and data analysis, as well as knowledge of the business, and interactions with staff, the business partner would tailor training programmers to drive outcomes that matter and meet the company's needs and vision. • Doing so would be of benefit not only to employees but to Ryanair, who would see improved performances and save costs that would have gone into retraining because of an inefficient programme. EFFECTIVE STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT • Ryanair would benefit from the HRBP's skills and knowledge in developing strategic plans that create value for future business successes. • He or she would ensure that plans align with the needs and expectations .

The immune system's ability to offer protection is reduced, and the individual becomes susceptible to conditions that affect them more than other age groups (Haynes, 2020). This population also experiences other symptoms impairing other aspects of their lives as time passes. For instance, their skin and bones lose their integrity and become more prone to abrasions and breakage. This assignment module will examine the pathological conditions that affect the sexual response in older adults and how and why nutritional and psychological factors, drugs, and other alternative and complementary medications affect the immune system of the populations. Pathological Conditions that Affect Sexual Response in Older Adults Sexuality is an essential aspect of life, irrespective of the age group one is in—the older population and the younger generation alike need to explore sexuality to maintain health and well-being. Exploring sexuality is also a mixture of biological, psychological, social, and religious factors, all of which have plenty to do with aging. Among the pathological conditions that affect sexual response in the elderly include Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause These are the changes experienced in the genitourinary pathway as one age. The individual can feel a burning sensation, dryness, or irritation. This can lead to painful sexual encounters, which can, in turn, reduce their desire to engage and their response. Dementia This is a degenerative disorder of the mental faculties, predominantly among the elderly (National Institute on Aging, n.d.). Their judgment diminishes, making them disinterested or utterly unaware of their sexual experiences. Some forms of the condition have been shown to increase sex or closeness, but the individual may fail to recognize what is appropriate and what is not. Diabetes As a chronic condition experienced mainly by this population, it can lead to yeast generation, leading to itchiness around the sex organs, making sex unpalatable. The situation can, however, be addressed with medication. Incontinence This is a condition where one experiences bladder leakage caused by poor control (National Institute on Aging, n.d.). It is most prevalent among the population an.

· Implementation of research projects is very challenging · Replacement of traditional practice with Evidence-based practice takes average of 17 years. · Increasing access to quality care, provision of affordable prescription, and others will improve adherence to treatment of chronic diseases, reduce complications, economic burdens, and increase the quality of life of the minority populations in primary care setting, particularly Hemet CaliforniaCorrelation of Intermittent Fasting to Diabetes Mellitus ( Significance/Background I ntermittent fasting, in contrast to many other dietary approaches, emphasizes timing of meals. Increasing popularity of intermittent fasting as a means of losing weight and managing chronic diseases is evidence of the practice's widespread success. People with diabetes Mellitus often choose to control their condition by paying more attention to what they eat. How IF works Aims of the Study Using the available evidence, this review aims to provide suggestions for the safe monitoring of diabetic patients interested in IF. Animal experiments and religious fasting schedules are excluded. ) ( Design/Methods Articles from reputable academic journals were gathered for a comprehensive literature evaluation that was conducted with the use of online databases. Studies were selected for inclusion in the review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach. Proposed Interventions I ndividualized treatment plans . F requent blood glucose checks . P roper exercise and nutrition. ) ( Expected Results/ Outcomes Facilitates increased physical activity and reduced calorie consumption. Weight reduction that is manageable. Decreased levels of insulin. Triglyceride levels, decreasing your risk of heart disease. Reduced inflammation and free radical change. Graphs/Tables ) ( Anticipated Conclusions The purpose of this poster is to raise awareness about the significance of developing a personalized treatment plan, monitoring blood glucose levels regularly, and making healthy lifestyle choices for people with diabetes in order to reduce their risk of hypoglycemia. Patients with diabetes may benefit greatly from fasting in terms of health and quality of life if they get the necessary guidance and supervision from their healthcare professionals. Potential Implications to Practice Fasting may improve the health and well-being of people with diabetes, and this is especially true when individuals are supported by their healthcare professionals via education and monitoring.

What Is Regional Economic Integration? Regional economic integration - agreements between countries in a geographic region to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers to the free flow of goods, services, and factors of production between each otherQuestion: Do regional trade agreements promote free trade?In theory, yes, but the world may be moving toward a situation in which a number of regional trade blocks compete against each other * While the move toward regional economic integration is generally seen as a good thing, some observers worry that it will lead to a world in which regional trade blocs compete against each other. In this possible future scenario, free trade will exist within each bloc, but each bloc will protect its market from outside competition with high tariffs. The specter of the EU and NAFTA turning into economic fortresses that shut out foreign producers with high tariff barriers is worrisome to those who believe in unrestricted free trade. If such a situation were to materialize, the resulting decline in trade between blocs could more than offset the gains from free trade within blocs. The Opening Case: Regional Trade Pacts Give the Mexican Auto Industry an Edge describes the growth of the Mexican auto industry due to a wave of foreign direct investment spurred by regional trade agreements. Beginning with the establishment of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, Mexico has established over 40 different free trade agreements that provide Mexican automakers duty-free access to markets throughout the world. These agreements, along with Mexico’s relatively low labors costs, have attracted investments from many of the world’s largest car companies and auto parts suppliers, making Mexico the sixth-largest car producer in the world. ©McGraw-Hill Education.

It includes creating diagrams that show the various steps a product or service undergoes from request to delivery. The format of the maps should not be overly complex, and they do not require any specialized software to create. Their purpose is to help management and workers “see” the flow of work tasks that are often difficult to visualize, and to analyze that flow from a customer-centric perspective that is explicitly focused on adding value. Why It Matters • It aligns stakeholders around a common understanding of the starting point before any operational change initiatives are undertaken. • It focuses on value as the critical metric of operational excellence and competitive advantage, and it identifies steps where no value is added and/or waste occurs. • It requires the team to apply quantifiable performance metrics to the current state so that improvement efforts can be measured and validated. “Before you can lead your team to a better future, you must build consensus about the current state of affairs – what’s working and what isn’t working – and why the change is needed.” Jack Welch © Strayer University.

Rev. 11/1/2009 Case 0804 ALEXANDER CHERNEV Datril: Pioneering the Acetaminophen Market Marvin Koslow, vice president for marketing services at Bristol-Myers, had just finished a strategic planning meeting with his staff. The meeting was supposed to delineate a strategy for Bristol-Myers’ newest offering: a non-prescription acetaminophen1 drug branded as Datril, which was to be launched later in the spring of 1975. Despite many hours of deliberation, a clear solu- tion failed to emerge. The main unresolved issue was how to position Bristol-Myers’ new drug to the general public and, in particular, how to price and promote Datril. Bristol-Myers was one of the nation’s leading marketers of pharmaceutical and consumer products, with a portfolio of well-known brands such as Bufferin, Excedrin, Windex, Drano, Vitalis, Be- hold, and Clairol. Bristol-Myers was comprised of three major product groups: the Consumer Prod- ucts Group, which accounted for 25.8% of the company’s total sales in 1974; the Clairol Group; and the Pharmaceutical, Health Care, and International Group, which accounted for 51.8% of the company’s total sales in 1974. In 1974, Bristol-Myers reported net earnings exceeding $120 million on $1.6 billion in net sales. The cost of goods sold accounted for more than $600 million of the expenditures: marketing, sales, and administration expenses were in excess of $420 million, advertising and pro- motion expenses were nearly $300 million, and research and development expenses were close to $50 million. The $680 million analgesic market was divided into two types of pain-relievers: aspirin and acetaminophen. Aspirin-based products, such as the market leader Bayer Aspirin, distributed by Sterling Drug Company, and Bufferin and Excedrin, both distributed by Bristol-Myers, comprised 90% of the analgesic market. Most of the aspirin-based products were proprietary drugs and were typically mar- keted with heavy consumer advertising and extensive point-of-purchase displays. Bristol-Myers spent more than $30 million advertising Bufferin and Excedrin in 1974 (see Exhibits 1, 2 for examples of print advertisements). In contrast, acetaminophen-based analgesics, initially available only by prescription, were advertised primarily to medical professionals. Acetaminophen products were rapidl.

ARVIND KRISHNAMURTHY AND TAFT FOSTER KEL782 Quantitative Easing in the Great Recession On October 29, 2008, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) concluded its eighth meeting since the start of the Great Recession eleven months earlier. Continuing its recent pattern, the FOMC voted to cut its target federal funds rate by another 50 basis points, to 1%. Yet despite the lowering of this rate from 4.25% since the start of the year (see Exhibit 1), a variety of economic indicators continued to paint a grim picture. Indeed, the situation appeared to be worsening. The chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, now faced a daunting prospect. As a professor of economics at Princeton, Bernanke had studied a set of tools that a central bank could employ if its policy rate were to be constrained by the zero lower bound. Prominent among these was a tool known as “quantitative easing,” or QE, a policy of making large purchases of financial assets. These purchases increased the quantity of money in the economy, hence the name quantitative easing. In his academic writings, Bernanke had advocated QE as a policy for Japan, where since the late 1990s the Bank of Japan (BoJ) had reduced its short-term interest rate to near zero.1 With the federal funds rate at 1%, the Federal Reserve likely would soon find itself in the same position as the BoJ, namely at the zero lower bound. Bernanke would get a chance to put his academic theories into practice. The Great Recession and Financial Crisis What would later be called the Great Recession began officially in December 2007 as a typical economic downturn associated with a spike in oil prices and a decline in home prices, but it quickly became a severe recession due to links between the housing and financial markets. As home prices across the United States and other countries fell in 2006 and 2007, foreclosure rates began to rise; this in turn rendered almost worthless many previously AAA-rated mortgage- backed securities (MBS) that derived the.

Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materials Overview: This tool is designed to help you prepare to use curriculum materials, particularly individual lessons that are part of larger units, with students. It supports you to do three things: 1. Identify the academic focus of the materials; 2. Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance; 3. Consider student thinking in relation to the core content and activities; 4. Adapt the materials and create a more complete plan to use in the classroom. Section 1: Identify the academic focus of the materials Read the materials in their entirety. If you are working with a single lesson that is part of a larger unit, read or skim the entire unit, and then read the lesson closely. Annotate the materials: 1. What are the primary and secondary learning goals? · What are the 1-2 most important concepts or practices that students are supposed to learn? · What are students responsible for demonstrating that they know and can do in mid-unit and final assessments and performance tasks? 2. What are the core tasks and activities: · What needs to be mastered or completed before the next lesson? · Where is the teacher’s delivery of new information, guidance, or support most important? · Where is discussion or opportunities for collaboration with others important? · Are there activities or tasks that could be moved to homework if necessary? Section 2: Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance: Use the checklist in the chart below to analyze the materials. If you mark “no,” make notes about possible adaptations to the materials. You may annotate the materials directly as an alternative to completing the chart. Consideration Yes or no?

Do the learning goals and instructional activities align with relevant local, state, or national standards? 1b. Are the materials sufficiently challenging for one’s own students (taking into account the learning goals, the primary instructional activities, and the major assignments and assessments)? Do they press and support students to do the difficult academic work? 2. Analyze for instructional and academic coherence (if analyzing a unit): 2a. Do the individual lessons in a unit build coherently toward clear, overarching learning goals, keyed to appropriate standards? Name the set of learning goals. 2b. Is progress against those goals measured in a well-designed assessment? 2c. Does each lesson build on the previous one? 2d. Are there opportunities for teachers to reinforce or draw upon previously learned information and skills in subsequent lessons? 3. Analyze for cultural relevance/orientation to social justice: 3a. Are the materials likely to engage the backgrounds, interests, and strengths of one’s own s.
