Nutrition candy for children can provide energy and nutrients if consumed in moderation and at appropriate times. While sugary foods should be limited to prevent issues like tooth decay and obesity, some higher quality candies contain beneficial ingredients like protein, vitamins, and minerals that children need. Candy can be a good source of carbohydrates for active children between meals and activities. However, eating candy too close to meals or in excessive amounts impacts nutrient absorption and risks overeating. Parents should also watch for candies containing saturated fats like coconut or palm oil that could increase heart disease risk if consumed often.

Frederick Herzberg’s two factor theory - to what extent is money a motivator? Zil Shah
The two-factor theory is also known as Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory and dual-factor theory. The two factor theory states that there are certain factors in the workplace that cause job satisfaction, while a separate set of factors cause dissatisfaction. It was developed by psychologist Frederick Herzberg, who theorized that job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction act independently of each other.
Frederick Herzberg conducted a study. He interviewed 200 accountants and engineer. He asked them to think of a time when they felt good at their jobs and a time when they felt bad about their jobs and then to describe conditions which leads to such feelings. Researchers concluded that factor responsible for job satisfaction is different form factor that leads to dissatisfaction. Job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction are different from each other’s. Absence of job satisfaction does not mean in job dissatisfaction but it is no job satisfaction.
The factors are classified as follows:
Motivational Factors
Hygiene\ Maintenance Factors
1.Motivational Factors:
These factors are related to nature of work, job content and are intrinsic to job itself. These factors have a positive influence on morale, satisfaction, efficiency and higher productivity. Some of these factors are achievement, recognition, responsibility, advancement, work itself and possibility of growth.
2.Hygiene Factors:
These factors are related to job context and are extrinsic to job. Hygiene factors do not motivate people. They simply prevent dissatisfaction and maintain status quo. They produce no growth but prevent loss. The absence of company policy, administration, status, job security, salary, relations with subordinates and supervisors, work condition, peer relations and personal life.

Cultural Norms at Work
Cultural Interview
I got a chance to interview my friend Student B, who is from China, for the assignment in the Cultural Norms at Work Class on May 17, 2017. In fact, the purpose of this interview is to learn how to understand each other’s cultures and respect their values and beliefs through intercultural communication. In this interview, I was able to identify the culture of China through several questions and to find out the values and beliefs of my partner based on Chinese culture with the active listening, which I learned in the class. I focused on the three things, that are expectations, perceptions of cultural practices, intercultural communication, in order to succeed in this interview. Firstly, I thought about the expected answers and prepared them before the interview in order to have a successful intercultural communication. As expected, I did not get beyond my expectation of attitude toward elderly people and adults. For example, Student B usually gives his seat up to the elderly in public, and when an adult comes in, he stands up to express respect to the adults. I could see that he has the values and beliefs that honor the adults as an Asian. On the other hand, Chinese table manner and funeral culture were quite different from what I expected. When it comes to table manners, it is not that strict. Cigarettes are allowed at the table and cell phone are relatively free to use during the meal time. Also, wearing white clothes at a funeral was not what I expected. Overall, Student B's answers were consistent with my expected answers. The second thing was to try to figure out the values and beliefs that lie beneath my partner’s cultural practices and norms. For example, the one thing that I learned through this interview was that brides wear a red dress at a wedding and most ornaments are decorated in red. This showed that Chinese belief, which red is symbol of luck, affects their norms and practices. In addition, another thing I learned was that Chinese value individuals rather than groups. This value was shown in the priorities of group project. Student B tends to prioritize his ability to appeal and identify the subject and purpose in order not to waste of time instead of getting to know other people. These Chinese values and beliefs made me interested and I had a positive response throughout the interview because some of Chinese customs are totally different from my culture. Finally, I tried to understand the culture of my partner and bring the atmosphere in a positive direction. For instance, I smiled during the interview, nodded and continued to make eye contact. However, it was hard for me to fully understand the cultures and values of another country. Particularly, the barriers of language were too great to explain our thoughts in detail. Despite the overall difficulty, however, interviews were successful in understanding my partner's culture .

Fostering Cross-institutional Collaboration for Open Educational Resources Pr...PiLNAfrica
Although there are over a quarter of a million open courses published by an increasing number of universities, it remains unclear whether Open Education Resources (OER) is scalable and productively sustainable. The challenge is compounded when OER is examined in the light of its potential to allow both educators and learners in developing countries to contribute geographically bound learning resources in the context of varied infrastructural, technological and skill constraints. Between October and December 2009, 52 participants involved in various roles related to Health OER from five universities (one in the USA, two in Ghana and two in South Africa) were interviewed. The aim of the study was to investigate sustainability of OER based on possible cross-institutional collaboration as well as social and technical challenges in creating and sharing OER materials. The analytical framework was adopted from prior research in related areas: distributed scientific collaboration; cyber infrastructure; open source development; and Wikipedia. We adopted a qualitative approach for data collection, which included semi structured interviews and document analysis. The findings were analyzed and reported with many direct quotations included. The outcome of the data analysis is a model for productive, scalable, and sustainable OER based on cross-institutional collaboration. The report concludes with practical recommendations on how to the model can be operationalized.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Module3: Entrepreneurship Lesson 5:Credit Management
3. Sources of Funds
An entrepreneur can obtain funds to start up his business from various sources, some of
which include:
Family savings/personal savings: This is what an entrepreneur has been able to
put aside to start the business. However, it is typically a limited source since most
people are not able to save large amounts.
Banks: This is main source of finance for business organizations but usury banks
have stringent conditions that make it difficult for small scale businesses to access
funds. Banks, for example, might require collateral which most businesses do not
have.
Savings and credit cooperatives (SACCOS): This is a source of funds that is cheap
and also easily accessible. However, one has to be a member of the SACCO.
Donations: This is money that one can be given by friends or relatives to enable
him/her to start the business. This is not a very reliable source.
Community based groups: Most people come together to save together and then
they extend credit to one another. It is a cheap and convenient source but
individuals may not have sufficient funds to meet the needs.
Micro finance Institutions: These have become very popular sources of funds
because the funds are easily accessible and they usually target small scale
enterprises.
Let us see how one entrepreneur went about accessing sufficient funds to start up his
business:
Activity 1
Sourcing of Funds (15 minutes)
Read the case on Hosea Enterprises, organize yourself into a group of 5 and then
answer the questions that follow:
Page 126
Module3: Entrepreneurship Lesson 5:Credit Management
4. HoseaEnterprises
Hosea graduated from a technical college in the year 2003. He was not able to
get a stable job but worked on small part time jobs. He struggled but he was
very determined. Hosea was able to save 20,000 Kenyan shillings from the
part time jobs. He decided that it would be worthwhile to start his own business
which could give him a stable income. He therefore set out to survey on the
type of business that he could start. Hosea was advised by friends that he
should start a hardware shop because he had technical skills which could help
him in operating the business. He accepted the advice and within two months
he had obtained a good location for the business.
The biggest challenge for Hosea was the start-up capital because the 20,000
Kenyan shillings which he had saved was not sufficient to start the business.
He therefore approached his father who lent him shs.80, 0000. Now, with
100,000 shillings he was ready to start the business. He rented the business
premises for shs.15, 000 per month and was required to pay a down payment
of shs. 15,000 so in total he paid shs. 30,000 and he used the balance to
purchase the opening stock. The business did very well and he had many
customers. He therefore felt that there was a need to expand the business but
he was constrained by the lack of funds.
One day a credit officer from one of the local banks came to Hosea’s business
to buy some tires. He was very impressed by Hosea’s business and he had a
discussion with Hosea on the growth of the business. Hosea explained to him
the problem of the lack of funds. The credit officer invited him to the bank for a
further discussion. The following day, Hosea went to the bank and met the
credit officer and had a very fruitful discussion and the credit officer agreed to
lend Hosea 2,000,000 for business expansion provided he could bring a land
title deed to secure the loan. Hosea was in a dilemma because he did not have
a title deed. He promised the credit officer that he would be back within a
week.
Hosea approached his father to see whether he would allow him to use the
family land title deed to secure the loan. His father was very reluctant but
Hosea was able to convince him. Hosea promised to work hard and repay the
loan without failure. The two agreed to go to the bank to meet the credit officer.
The following day they went to the bank and they were well received. The
credit officer accepted Hosea’s father’s title deed and the family and the family
land were mortgaged to secure Hosea’s loan. The bank gave Hosea a cheque
of 2,000,000. Hosea was over joyed and he promptly started planning how he
could expand the business. His father talked to him about the various
consequences in case he failed to repay the loan. Hosea promised his father
that he would never default on the loan repayment.
When the money was ready and credited to Hosea’s Bank account, Hosea
was ready to begin the business expansion. However, before the expansion
plan was fully conceived, Hosea had a discussion with his friends and was
Page 127
advised that it was important to get married first so that his wife could help him
in managing the business.
Module3: Entrepreneurship Lesson 5:Credit Management
5. This idea appeared to be very good to Hosea. He therefore started plans to
marry his long term girlfriend. All the wedding plans went well, he used the bank
loan to pay dowry and for financing the wedding. They had a very big wedding,
people ate and drank. He spent 1,500,000 shillings on the wedding.
Hosea now had only 500,000 to expand the business. This was too little, given
the costs of the things he needed to stock the business. The business income
was too low to finance the loan repayment and meet the household expenses.
Hosea started lagging behind in loan repayments. Within the first year, their first
baby came and the family demands increased. The loan repayment was proving
hard to meet.
One morning the credit officer came to see Hosea’s business and was shocked
to see the low stock. He therefore gave Hosea two months to improve on the
loan repayment otherwise the bank would sell his father’s land to recover the
money. At the end of the two months the loan repayment was even worse, and
the bank had no option other than to sell the family land.
Today Hosea’s family has no land and they are squatters.
Discussion Questions
1. How did Hosea get the capital to start the business?
2. Do you think Hosea needed extra funds to expand the business or should he
have continued with the small business?
3. Should Hosea’s father have refused to give the title to the family land to secure
the loan?
4. What do you think went wrong in Hosea’s plan?
5. Was it wrong for Hosea to get married?
6. Was the bank wrong to sell the land?
7. If you were Hosea, what would you have done?
Page 128
Module3: Entrepreneurship Lesson 5:Credit Management
6. Funds Application Process
The process of application depends on the source of funds. The banks have the most
complex process. This entails completion of application forms and submission of all the
documents required by the bank. The SACCOS and micro finance institutions have a
simpler process although applicants have to complete forms and provide any other
information required. The other sources are informal and hence do not have too many
complications.
Activity 2
Application (10 minutes)
Refer to Hosea’s case and describe the process that Hosea used to get the funds to
start his business. Comment on the problems that he encountered and show whether he
was able to solve the problems effectively.
Page 129
Module3: Entrepreneurship Lesson 5:Credit Management
7. Effective Utilization of Funds
Loan utilization is critical because it affects the loan repayment. It is important that a loan is
utilized for the intended purpose, if the loanee diverts the funds to other purposes it means
that he/she will not generate sufficient revenue to repay the loan.
Activity 3
Utilization (15 minutes)
Work in your group again, refer to Hosea’s case and discuss his problems in loan
repayment. Did he utilize his funds as he had stipulated?
Page 130
Module3: Entrepreneurship Lesson 5:Credit Management
8. Repayment Procedures
The loan repayment procedure defers from one financier to another and the repayment
agreement contract between the borrower and the lender. Some of the key aspects agreed
upon are:
Loan repayment period
Number of instalments
Interest rate in percentage
Penalty on default
Activity 4
Repayment (20 minutes)
In your group refer to Hosea’s case once more and discuss the process that he was
supposed to follow to repay the Ksh.2, 000,000 loan.
Page 131
Module3: Entrepreneurship Lesson 5:Credit Management
9. Conclusion
This course unit has discussed the credit management by entrepreneurs and has
specifically explained the sources of funds, application procedure for funds, loan
repayment process and effective utilization of funds. The Hosea case was used to show
how an entrepreneur can manage credit.

10. Glossary
Technical words used in this lesson include:
Credit
Credit is the trust which allows one party to provide resources to another
party where that second party does not reimburse the first party
immediately (thereby generating a debt), but instead arranges either to
repay or return those resources (or other materials of equal value) at a
later date. The resources provided may be financial (e.g. granting a loan),
or they may consist of goods or services (e.g. consumer credit). Credit
encompasses any form of deferred payment. Credit is extended by a
creditor, also known as a lender, to a debtor, also known as a borrower.
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_(finance) CC: BY SA
Loan
A loan is a type of debt. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the
redistribution of financial assets over time, between the lender and the
borrower. In a loan, the borrower initially receives or borrows an amount
of money, called the principal, from the lender, and is obligated to pay
back or repay an equal amount of money to the lender at a later time.
Typically, the money is paid back in regular instalments, or partial
repayments; in an annuity, each instalment is the same amount. The loan
is generally provided at a cost, referred to as interest on the debt, which
provides an incentive for the lender to engage in the loan. In a legal loan,
each of these obligations and restrictions is enforced by contract, which
can also place the borrower under additional restrictions known as loan
covenants.
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loan
Collateral
In lending agreements, collateral is a borrower's pledge of specific
property to a lender, to secure repayment of a loan. The collateral serves
as protection for a lender against a borrower's default - that is, any
borrower failing to pay the principal and interest under the terms of a loan
obligation. If a borrower does default on a loan (due to insolvency or
other event), that borrower forfeits (gives up) the property pledged as
collateral - and the lender then becomes the owner of the collateral. In a
typical mortgage loan transaction, for instance, the real estate being
acquired with the help of the loan serves as collateral. Should the buyer
fail to pay the loan under the mortgage loan agreement, the ownership of
the real estate is transferred to the bank. The bank uses a legal process
called foreclosure to obtain real estate from a borrower who defaults on a

mortgage loan obligation.
