New Challenges within Transportation and Logistics Management
1. Introduction
In a world that has fully embraced globalization and regional trade, transportation has become one of the most important businesses processes which enable effective carriage of raw materials to the manufacturers and manufactured goods to the end user. Currently, all the means of transportation are effectively used depending on the preference of the client. This crucial business process has led to the emergence of the transport logistics managers whose main role is to ensure that goods being transported reach their destination safely and on time. Over the years, transportation logistics has become one the most important process in the supply chain of any business as the key to satisfying customer demands and gaining a competitive advantage. However, the growth of the transportation and logistics industry has led to the development of new challenges over the years which continue to affect logistics management. The main challenge within the transportation and logistics management results from planning and risk management which has been caused by the changing environments within the industry. This paper seeks to investigate some of the planning and risk management challenges by answering the question; “what are the new challenges facing logistics managers and how can they be tackled?” It will outline three major challenges within transportation and logistics management and discuss probable solutions to each.
2. Literature Review
To research the challenges within transportation and logistics management, this paper will investigate the relationship between logistics management and supply chain management so as to specifically focus on the former throughout the research. This is because there is a strong relationship between transportation logistics management and the supply chains in that the former has become a critical element in supply chain management (Wang et al. 2016). The use of these terms in different resources has further expounded on this relationships forming the definition of these terms as follows: Logistics management is the act of organizing for the commercial transportation of goods or raw materials by ensuring that the transportation systems maintain an effective flow whereby the products being transported can reach the receiver safely and on time (Christopher, 2016). This activity incorporates different procedures such as recording data and information about the flow of goods, warehousing, and transportation.
According to Wang et al. (2016), it is the role of transportation and logistics managers to ensure quality handling of all the data and figures which account for daily operations and ensure that there is smooth coordination of tasks within a tran.

New Challenges within Transportation and Logistics Management
Introduction
The realm of transportation and logistics management is perceived to be one of the most critical areas in the contemporary world, and justifiably so. Logistics is a reference to the manner in which the flow of goods from one point to another is managed so that the needs of customers can be lived up to as efficiently as possible (Christopher, 2016). For logistics to be run in an effective and efficient manner, an array of parties involved in any given supply chain has to take part. However, although there is no doubting the fact that logistics plays an essential role in the facilitation of trade and contributing to the realization of successful business undertakings, logistics managers continue to grapple with mounting challenges in their efforts to come up with and maintain efficient and effective approaches to logistics. Thus, this paper seeks to attain an enhanced comprehension of these challenges by seeking cogent responses to this research question: what are the new challenges facing logistics managers and how can they be tackled?
Literature Review
Research indicates that logistics managers have to contend with a wide spectrum of challenges in their efforts to see to it that they attain optimum outcomes these days. Waters and Rinsler (2014) noted in their study that cutting costs of transportations continue to be cited by logistics managers to be one of the greatest challenges in their area of operation, and with good reason. Rising prices of fuel, increased remunerations, as well as climaxing inflation indexes, continue to work with each other to bring about a surge in the costs of transportation. As such, for logistics managers to ensure the effective and efficient running of their operations, t.

Logistics
Logistics is obtaining, producing, and distributing materials and products in the right qualities and to an end user. Logistics includes the science of planning for managing and implementing procedures for the most efficient and effective storage and transportation of goods and services. Services and other information from the source point to the consumer is sent through logistics channels to meet and fulfill customer needs.
Logistics has added benefits and functions that are different from transportation services. Logistics managers need to make decisions based on packaging, containerization, documentation, and insurance, storage, importing and exporting, regulations, and freight damage. They also deal with work and collaborating, claims, managing vendors and partners, and risk mitigation.
Transportation Services
Efficient transportation is important to the survival of a transportation and distribution service. Efficient transportation should be analyzed for the best delivery route, as well as cost-effective packaging that ensures low investment and safety of goods.
Transportation services include the movement of goods and services, people, and animals from one location to another by rail, road, air, sea, cable, space, or pipeline. Transportation services can be divided into three different areas: infrastructure, vehicles, and operations. Transportation allows communication and trade between the two parties.
When planning the shipment process, the method of transportation is a significant consideration. You need to determine the costs, how important is it to get the shipment to the end user in what period, the value of the goods as well as the size and weight of the goods.

Assignment on logistic and Supply chain Management Anup Roy
The document discusses several key aspects of supply chain management in the service industry:
1. Service industries have little need for physical inputs beyond office supplies and work with a smaller group of suppliers compared to manufacturing. Their primary inputs are labor and capital equipment to allow employees to do their work.
2. Traditional manufacturing supply chain management focuses on logistics of moving physical materials while service industries focus more on information flow and developing relationships with suppliers and customers.
3. The end goal for any company is satisfied customers. Supply chain design in services requires focus on efficient information flow and strong supplier relationships rather than physical logistics networks.
M Bridge 3 CASA 2018 Container Inventory Management Should the Present Pract...CINEC Campus
This document discusses container inventory management (CIM) practices in the global shipping industry. It proposes that current independent CIM policies by carriers lead to inefficient use of containers and high costs. The document introduces a conceptual model and identifies key factors that influence CIM, including customer attrition, forecasting, collaboration between carriers, and costs of port handling and empty repositioning. It proposes increased collaboration through practices like container interchange to help minimize imbalances and related costs. Survey results found carriers view imbalance as a problem and are open to collaboration, though more research is needed to implement solutions. Overall, the document argues current reactive practices should be supplemented with proactive strategies like collaboration to optimize container utilization and reduce industry costs.

Article Published In Supply Chain AsiaPoonam Datta
The document discusses challenges and opportunities facing the logistics industry in Asia. It notes that logistics costs account for 9-20% of GDP in most countries. To thrive, logistics companies must provide value-added services beyond basic transport and leverage technology and partnerships to improve customer service. Emerging issues like new safety regulations and volatile freight rates are disrupting supply chains. Carriers and forwarders must adapt to instability and consolidation in the industry. Adopting transparency, new technologies, and strong leadership will help the logistics sector continue expanding.

This document discusses logistics service providers and their evolution. It begins by defining a logistics service provider as a company that manages the flow of goods between origin and destination, handling shipping, inventory, warehousing and other functions. It notes that manufacturers outsource distribution, warehousing and fulfillment to these providers. It then discusses how third-party logistics providers specialize in integrated transportation and warehousing services, bridging manufacturers and transporters. Finally, it briefly introduces the concept of fourth-party logistics providers as consultants that assemble resources and technology for supply chain management.
Reverse logistics is the process of moving goods back through the supply chain for reuse, recycling, or disposal. It includes returning surplus, damaged, expired, or recalled products from customers back to manufacturers or distributors. Efficient reverse logistics is important for companies to manage returns and meet legal obligations for disposal. Common reverse logistics activities include refurbishing, remanufacturing, recycling, and proper disposal of waste.
The Australian Textile, Clothing And Footwear EssayHeidi Owens
Here are the key advantages and disadvantages of airplanes:
Advantages:
- Very fast mode of transportation. Airplanes can transport people and goods over long distances much faster than boats or trains. This saves a significant amount of travel time.
- Convenient for passengers. Flying avoids the hassle of long road or sea journeys, reducing travel time and fatigue. Air travel allows people to reach their destinations much more quickly and conveniently.
- Reliable for time-sensitive cargo. Perishable goods and other time-sensitive cargo such as documents can be transported reliably by air in a matter of hours rather than days. This makes air transport well-suited for these types of goods.
Disadvantages:
Management and optimization of information flows-EN.pdfGeorgeDiamandis11
This document discusses the role of logistics experts and the optimization of supply chain digitization. It begins by defining logistics and explaining how logistics professionals have historically managed physical, informational, and economic flows. It then describes how logistics has evolved over recent decades from transportation management to global supply chain management. A key part of this evolution has been the increased use of data and digital technologies to optimize operations and maximize margins. The document outlines the multi-step optimization process logistics professionals undertake and how technologies can add value in areas like automation, performance, quality, and impact.
A Review Of The Transportation Mode Choice And Carrier Selection LiteratureCrystal Sanchez
This document provides a literature review of research on transportation mode choice and carrier selection from the past 20 years. It categorizes the research into three areas: attribute identification studies, decision process models, and supply chain integration research. The review finds key themes like cost, transit time, and reliability have been covered, but emerging issues around capacity, security, environment, and technology have been underrepresented. It concludes there is a need for more diverse research methods and topics to address current challenges in logistics management.
This document discusses logistics and transportation. It begins by introducing logistics and explaining how transportation is a key element that connects logistics activities. Transportation occupies a large portion of logistics costs and greatly influences logistics system performance. The document then discusses how integrated logistics has impacted global business practices by increasing interdependence between firms, globalizing sourcing and markets, changing concepts of corporate enterprise, transforming organizational structures, and changing government environments. It provides recommendations for policies around information and communication technologies to support future logistics planning.
The document discusses supply chain management, including its history and key components. It begins with an overview of how supply chain management evolved from initially fragmented business functions like purchasing and inventory management integrating over time. The document then defines supply chain management as combining art and science to improve how companies source raw materials, produce products, deliver to customers, and manage returns. It outlines the basic components of supply chain management as plan, source, make, deliver, and return.

The objective of this article was to demonstrate the research and use of an operations analysis model unique to logistic activities that could integrate the use of three tools to identify and analyze problems in a process and to prove the interdependence of losses and gains between the various factors that make up an activity. In this proposal the
research of context, concepts, application and evaluations on the models chosen for the integration was made. After designing the integrated model, it was tested in a real case
of application and the results of the analysis were obtained, taking care to contextualize all the technical, social and cultural aspects involved in the process. In the end, the conclusion
exposed the positive and negative aspects of the logistic process evaluated and demonstrated the effectiveness of the integration of tools, identifying opportunities for improvement with the prioritization and indication of a tool for the solution of the deviations.
Assignment on logistic and Supply chain Management Anup Roy
The document discusses several key aspects of supply chain management in the service industry:
1. Service industries have little need for physical inputs beyond office supplies and work with a smaller group of suppliers compared to manufacturing. Their primary inputs are labor and capital equipment to allow employees to do their work.
2. Traditional manufacturing supply chain management focuses on logistics of moving physical materials while service industries focus more on information flow and developing relationships with suppliers and customers.
3. The end goal for any company is satisfied customers. Supply chain design in services requires focus on efficient information flow and strong supplier relationships rather than physical logistics networks.
M Bridge 3 CASA 2018 Container Inventory Management Should the Present Pract...CINEC Campus
This document discusses container inventory management (CIM) practices in the global shipping industry. It proposes that current independent CIM policies by carriers lead to inefficient use of containers and high costs. The document introduces a conceptual model and identifies key factors that influence CIM, including customer attrition, forecasting, collaboration between carriers, and costs of port handling and empty repositioning. It proposes increased collaboration through practices like container interchange to help minimize imbalances and related costs. Survey results found carriers view imbalance as a problem and are open to collaboration, though more research is needed to implement solutions. Overall, the document argues current reactive practices should be supplemented with proactive strategies like collaboration to optimize container utilization and reduce industry costs.

Introduction: What is currently standing in my way of achieving these goals?I intend to do is a complete turnaround and modification of behavior and perspective in how to be better in leadership. One of the first crucial changes involves changing my habits and specifically ensuring that I am well informed on issues that affect the individuals under my leadership. This is in line with opening communication more and avoiding seclusion and being alone as it is the role of a leader to be always communicating or around his followers at most times. More crucial is to change how I conduct decision making and implement more logical and practical consideration to every situation as it is always good to find an advantage for everybody. To lead the mission to a fruitful conclusion, a leader must establish priorities and utilize the talents, creativity, resources and energy of his followers, generally imperfect individuals, and empower them to rise to and occasionally beyond their previously assumed potential. Great leaders establish a plan, a map to help them organize and ensure they have an appropriate and effective team in place, clearly communicate the plan to and lead their followers to the destination (Jackson, 2012)
Personal values: Needless to say, “all leaders, all human beings, have values. Values are beliefs that represent an individual’s ideas about what is right, good or desirable (Robbins, S. P. & Judge T. A., 2011, p. 144). My philosophy on leadership is founded on my collective life experiences, reflections, successes, and failures. I see a great correlation in terms of how leaders and followers come to meet and get a way forward. As such, I should express more respect for the leaders and followers that are able to listen and interact with me as it shows they support some of my opinions in terms of strength through relationships. I intend to essentially align and try to use my values as a guideline in everything I participate in and everything I say in my work, my relationships and in my family. Also, it is the nature of humans to make errors once in a while but not too often. As such, it is important to be more compassionate and understanding in order to provide an opportunity for them and me to learn from it as their failures are my failures. The manner in which contribution is usually provided is at times not appreciated and as a leader it is crucial to recognize efforts made in a team work setting.
What do I want to make out of my life? This requires a clear vision in order for it to be implemented. This means that I have to lay own my agenda and goals in order to be more accurate in achieving the overall development and growth. This should be in line with my work ethic and beliefs in order for it to be effective and more professional. This would provide me .

Introduction
Electronic Health Record (EHR) is the computerized storage and sharing of patients’ health information to help in continuous monitoring of the patients’ health (Shickel B., 2017). This is a system developed to enable health clinics share information that can help in providing effective medication to the patients with different kinds of health needs. The data on patients is stored and accessed by the clinics during visits from the patient which will help in care management of the patients. An electronic health record system can be helpful as the information stored consist of medical history of a patient, laboratory tests, treatment plans, immunization dates and various allergies of the patients. This is helpful when the patient visits different clinic health providers where they will not need to explain the situations over and over again.
Electronic health record system automates information sharing and reduces the traditional paper work which was tiresome and had a great risk of losing information. With the HER, information on patients is kept in a secure system where only authorized persons can access it. Errors are minimized in provision of health care since the information kept can be more accurate and available at any given time.
Wasatch Family Clinic will greatly benefit from this strategy of recording, keeping and sharing of information on patients. The nurses can use the system to easily record the patients’ names, numbers and all other critical information required during scheduling for clinical attendance of any patient. Tracing of the information will be easier compared to using the traditional form of papers in storing information for a patient.
Need to share data
Information on health status of a patient has to be kept with care and only authorized persons can be able to access them. This helps in building ethical handling of patients’ information which creates their trust on the health care providers (Drazen J., 2015).
Wasatch Family Clinic needs to share their health data with the patients for them to understand their health issues. The clinic also needs to share data with other health facilities in order to increase the patient’s safety and a great care.
Duplicate registrations will be avoided by sharing data in the different departments of the health care center. A real-time link can be created for the patients from registration, through consultation, testing and final medication. This can save Wasatch family Clinic from traditional paper work which took most time when searching for medical records of a patient at every stage in the clinic. Time can also be saved when the information of the patient is a system shared by the departments of the clinic health center.
Wasatch Family Clinic will also benefit economically when the data is shared improving service time and hence reducing.

Serial murderer – an introduction
The crime of manslaughter has been known for a long time, to be specifically the early 1600’s but the initial case of a serial murderer was in the year 1888, named, Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated five prostitutes in the East London. Field experts have stated that at any time, the United States has around 50 active serial murderers, owing to the fact that arroba the year multiple homicides have occurred. Now the question arises, who is a serial killer?
A person possessing a specific emotional drive to kill mercilessly is termed as a serial murderer. These murders, killings, manslaughters, or homicides are generally done in a different way that distinguishes one serial murderer from another. The killer often has a sign that they are distinguished with. Serial murderers are kept in the page as being mass- slayers. The only difference being that serial murderers do not naturally kill the way mass murderers/ slayers do, i.e. mass slayers don’t leave breaks in committing the merciless murders. On the other hand, serial murderers tend to have a distinct feature that reflects the fact that they are murderers with a psychotic overdrive (Ellens, 2011).
Jeffrey Dahmer
Nearly 25 years ago, one of America’s most infamous serial murderers, Jeffrey Dahmer, a paedophile, and a cannibal, was confronted, attacked and mercilessly slayed while cleaning the bathroom of a prison. His span of crime ranged from June 18, 1978 till July 19, 1991.
Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, was an American serial murderer and a sex criminal who brutally raped and then killed 17 men and boys between the years 1978 to 1991. Several of those later homicides consisted of preservation of several body parts of the victims, necrophilia and cannibalism. Though he was initially diagnosed with several mental diseases like borderline personality disorder, a psychotic disorder, and schizotypal personality disorder, Dahmer was found to be legitimately stable at his probation.
He was sentenced for fifteen terms of life custody on February 15, 1992 for the fifteen of the sixteen homicides that he had committed in Wisconsin. Later, he was condemned to a sixteenth term of life custody for an additional slaughter in 1978 in Ohio. Dahmer was crushed to death by Christopher Scarver On November 28th, 1994 at the Columbia Correctional Institution (Martens, 2011).
Jeffery’s move into criminality- early years
It is reported by witnesses that as an infant, Dahmer was deprived of attention and love that a child expects from his parents. It is also reported that his mother was identified as a stressed, covetous, and argumentative lady who often quarrelled with her husband and their neighbours. As Dahmer entered the first grade, his mother .

1. Audience for webinar
The audience for the webinar is divided into three age groups. The school going students are the audience. First audience group is the middle child, the second audience group is early childhood and the third group is early adolescence forth is emerging adults. The webinar content will be highly useful because it will educate the audience about the sexuality. The sexual harassments, teenage pregnancy, and many more issues are associated with it, so there is the necessity for such type of education. The webinar content will be characterized specifically according to each age group. The middle childhood and early adolescence need some specific and limited awareness but the adolescence and emerging adults need the detailed awareness.
2. Intended Focus
The webinar focus is on that audience which doesn’t need the higher consideration of the webinar topic. There is a need to educate immature children, teenagers and adults about sexuality. It’s all about creating awareness. Today the world is modernized. The difference between male and female doesn’t matter. The co-education system created a lot of issues along its benefits. There is need to educate the students including girl and boys so they can avoid all bad activities which can lead them towards destruction. Sexuality is not all about the willingness of two people but it sometimes happened in terms of harassments.
The focus is based on the education of immature younger and teenager students who are living in the global world, studying in co-education. Parents are not advising them about the fact that they should avoid such type of relationships, predict the harassments and prevent themselves for being victimized. So, the major focus is to provide awareness to them so they can prevent all that approaches and secure themselves. The webinar focused the school educational system in which such type of awareness sessions are necessary. It has many benefits and our children can take decisions with complete consideration of good and bad.
3. Research Into Webinar Topic
The webinar topic is “Sexuality education in schools”. In recent past years, there are many issues which are get promoted without any awareness and education about sexuality. Entire families are facing a different kind of issues (Shirai, Tsujimura, Abdelhamed, & Horie, 2018). Some families children faced sexual harassments, some victimized by a rapist, some faced the teenage pregnancy, and many facing the diseases which are prevailing with sexual relationships. Sexuality education is necessary, it can eliminate the fantasy factor in which our teenager is living (Breuner, Mattson, & Health., 2016). Innocent adolescence is not aware that how much it could destroy them. How someone can make them victim without there any type of notice and awareness. In innocence and unawareness lot of children f.

These groups include men and women based on sex; any group which shares a common race, religion, color, or national origin; people over 40; and people with physical or mental handicaps” 11a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 12. The designation of a protected class requires employers to abide by the EEOC Laws. 13. The EEOC Laws are “five laws which prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, physical handicap and mental handicap in any terms, conditions, or privileges of employment” 13a. (NARA, 2020, para 16). 14. The applicable laws were designed to “correct a history of unfavorable treatment of women and minority group members” 14a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 15. Although men and women cannot be discriminated against based on sex, the protected class of sex was designed to prevent discrimination of women in the workplace. 16. The analysis throughout the paper will focus on this fact, and decide if removing sex as a protected class will make the workforce more competitive.
NP17. Moral Courage and Moral Imagination
NP18. Looking at removing a protected class will involve looking at the question from multiple perspectives, this requires moral imagination. 19. Biasucci, Hernandez, and Prentice, 19a. (2020, para 1) say, "Moral imagination, according to philosopher Mark Johnson, means envisioning the full range of possibilities in a particular situation in order to solve an ethical challenge." 20. One view is that the workforce is handing out jobs to women over men, for fear of discriminating accusations. 21. If sex is no longer a protected class, then companies would be able to select the qualified individual without fear of reprisal. 22. Another way of looking at the issue is from the actual definition of protected classes. 23. Sex is a protected class, meaning that both men and women are technically protected from discrimination. 24. From this viewpoint, companies could be accused by both men and women if they feel they employers actively discriminated against them. 25. .

Combatting Senior Isolation with Volunteerism
Senior isolation is a social issue that many of our senior citizens face today. It is estimated that 40% of our senior population suffers from senior isolation. Senior isolation in the elderly has been linked to an increase in illnesses, mortality, depression, elder abuse and a higher incidence of the elderly needing long term care services. It is one of the largest risks to our aging senior’s health and well-being. Volunteer work can help combat senior isolation and have a positive impact on a senior’s health. Senior citizens make up 15.2 percent of the total population of the United States according to the 2016 census bureau and it is reported that by 2060 the number of senior citizens will double. Senior volunteer programs that promote involvement can assist in combating isolation and the negative health consequences while keeping our seniors healthy and active within their communities.
Senior Corps is an organization that currently engages roughly 220,000 older adults between the ages of 55 and above within America in service to their communities through its Foster Grandparent, Senior companion and RSVP programs according to Nationalservice.gov. Utilizing the strengths and assets of our seniors today not only keeps our seniors from isolation but also benefits the communities in which they live. The primary focus of Senior corps is to utilize the strengths, skills and attributes of seniors 55 and above to help tutor, mentor, care for and volunteer to meet the needs of others within their community while also having mutually positive benefits to the health and wellness of the aging senior population. Senior Corp programs not only improve the lives of those served but also the lives of the senior volunteers. Service learning opportunities within Senior Corps could produce beneficial outcomes for the American communities that Senior Corps volunteers, the partnering universities and the student service learners reside. The collegiate service learning students can play an instrumental role in increasing awareness with marketing strategies including recruitment events and informative meetings to promote participation, and enrollment into the programs. Creating and implementing marketing plans while utilizing their technology skills and social media platforms, collegiate service learners can assist Senior Corps in increasing the number of senior volunteers enrolled within each of the programs. Intergenerational learning can promote valuable relationships and partnerships that help bridge the generation gap. Service learners in intergeneration settings report “positive outcomes related to a better understanding of the older generation, enjoyment of interacting with the elders, appreciation of the life exp.

The American Red Cross is an organization with immeasurable commitment to provision of compassionate care to people who are in need in America. As such, this is their mission and their budget epitomizes this. The largest chunk of the income that is mainly received from grants from governments and organizations as well as donations from organizations is spent on humanitarian activities. For the year 2018, 91.85% of the $0.5 billion that was raised from the aforementioned sources was used in humanitarian activities. These included helping people who needed care in in disasters in the shortest notice, ensuring and maintaining community health especially by being in the frontline to deliver blood to patients who needed it in our health facilities. The organization recognizes the importance of mitigating disasters before they happen and therefore set aside $1,659,000 that was used to keep teams ready to stop a disaster before it happened or minimize injury or loss of life as much as possible. This is in line with the organizations principle of being proactive rather than react to disasters when they happen.
The American Red Cross has a total 12,534 permanent employees spread all over the nation to offer humanitarian help whenever and wherever it is needed (Hutchinson, 2018). These are selfless individuals who are always risking their lives to save others’. The organization therefore aims at giving the employees the best working conditions given the circumstances and making sure that they stay safe as much as possible while delivering help. As such, American Red Cross buys the best equipment and vehicles to help the employees as well as volunteers in humanitarian work to get to sites of disasters in the shortest time possible and safely. This is why the company has invested in top notch ambulances that have lifesaving equipment that may be used by the employees to save lives in an occurrence of a disaster.
As indicated above, funds that are used by the organization to finance its operations as well as management are received from state and federal government, and international organizations as grants or from the public as donations. Often times, the funders wish to know how the funds that they give out the cause of saving human lives through humanitarian assistance is used (Schnupp & Möller 2018). The organization therefore posts its official budget on its official website where it can be accessed by all people. In the last 5 years, the donations have been on the rise and this is a good indicator that the people who fund the organizations are happy about how the money they give to it is being used.
One of the key strengths in the company is the manner in which the employees relate with each other and the organization at large. The organization appreciates the selflessness of the people working there. As such, employee retreats are held.

Article I Journal Title: Achieving consumer trust on Twitter via CSR communication
The research seeks to establish means that can be used by companies to relay information on corporate social responsibility on social media platforms particularly twitter in an effective manner. It suggests that the involvement of the consumers and the consumer’s own processing mechanisms have a very vital role in so far as an evaluation of the trustworthiness of the companies is concerned.
The topic explored is very relevant since we have seen a continuous trend where various organizations are becoming more and more under pressure when it comes to communicating organizational policies and organizational positions as pertains to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Every market segment needs to be informed about the organization’s good intentions as well as actions so as to have an impression that the corporation is trustworthy. This implies that the market demand that their corporations engage them through dialogue. Notably, the existing academic literature does not have empirical research that seeks to examine impact of asymmetric versus symmetric communication strategies to the consumers.
Research Questions
i. Which strategies have corporations used in communication with their stakeholders about social corporate responsibility initiatives?
ii. Which of the two communication strategies, asymmetric communication and symmetric communication is more effective?
iii. What is the role of stakeholder’s personal information processing mechanisms when it comes to evaluation of trustworthiness of corporations?
Hypothesis
The first hypothesis (H1) states: Asymmetric vs. symmetric CSR communication strategies will have differing impacts on consumer trust in the organization. The second hypothesis (H2) states: Consumer trust is higher among the consumers with high involvement (those being a “green” consumer in symmetric communication.
Considering the hypotheses, it clearly emerges that they are closely linked to the study questions. The formulated questions point into integrated communication approach as used in organizations with particular attention being paid to the relevance of the communication approached to corporate social responsibility. They further go on to address and draw parallels between innovative approaches such as symmetric and asymmetric communication techniques and their impacts on the stakeholders. The above are further captured in the hypotheses especially when we look at the consumer concerns about an organization’s initiatives on social corporate responsibility. For instance, scepticism green consumers have on CSR been capture by H2. Generally, green consumers are very much conscious about the environmental impacts of their purchase as we.

Self-Injurious Behavior
For this final assignment a research of self-injurious behavior has been conducted. Self-injurious behavior, also known as SIB, is described an instance of behavior that results in physical injury to a person’s own body. SIB includes head banging, using objects to cut or puncture self, pinching self, consuming inedible substances, vomiting, pulling own hair, sucking, biting, scratching body parts and use of drugs, among others (Yang, 2003). SIB, is usually displayed by individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities. SIB can result in serious injuries and in severe cases even death. According to Yang (2003), the treatment of SIB has become one of the most serious issues for clinicians and other professionals due to the injury, risk, prevalence, and cost involved.
Article 1
Overview
The first article discussed is "Combination of extinction and protective measures in the treatment of severely self-injurious behavior" by Lizen Yang from Behavioral interventions journal. Yang explores and discusses the advantages of using extinction in conjunction with the non-intrusive protective measures to treat SIB. In the study, extinction in combination with non-intrusive protective measures was selected as the intervention strategy to reduce SIB.
Subjects and setting
The study was conducted on two adolescent females with profound mental retardation and physical disabilities at a state facility. Both subjects exhibited self-injurious behavior (SIB) and had been wearing restrains mechanisms for more than two years to prevent injuries. The treatment sessions were conducted in the morning for one of the subjects and in the afternoon for the other subject in a multipurpose 12’ x 13’room in their residential building. The room contained a table, a desk, and three chairs. Fingernail clippers, a pair of scissors, and a bottle of white petroleum jelly were used, since the target behavior for both subjects was scratching. There was a radio playing soft music at a moderate volume during sessions. There also were several audio and visual activity materials available and placed on the table within the participants’ reach at all times during treatment. During sessions, only the therapist and the participant were in the room.
Design and results
Event recording was used to collect data during each 30 minute treatment session. Two hand held counters were used to record the target behavior. In order to constantly analyze data, and monitor the behavior, as well as avoiding possible medical concerns, each treatment session was divided into three 10 minute intervals. Initially a within-subject reversal design was in which baseline (A) and treatment (B) were alternated in an ABAB sequence, but due to frequent and severe self-injuries and for safety reas.

Abstract
The concept of trusted computing has been in existence for a very long time. It has had an influence on security systems and solutions. In this paper, I will explain the history of TCB. Ways to implement trusted base computing. I will also explain some of the barriers and how to bypass them.
Introduction
The trusted computing base contains hardware, firmware and software that are essential in establishing as well as maintaining security. Moreover, it also includes an operating system with all specific system hardware, in-built security control, software and network hardware, (Ranganathan, 2017). When designing a trusted computing base provision such as access control, giving privileges, user authentication support, authorization of particular processes or systems, backing up information and protection against viruses and malware. It is the responsibility of a trusted computing base to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of information. It monitors the input and output operations.
History
In December 1985, the United States Department of Defense put out the trusted computing system evaluating criteria that well-defined TCB. TCB can be understood when it performs as a centralized, trusted entity, (Scott-Nash, et al., 2016). The structures that get the uppermost level security accredited and certification have a centralized system design. The TCSEC accepted the view of peer trusted nodes describing them as members of the NTCB which protects the network system including the firmware, software and hardware. This combination is responsible for enforcing a security policy.
How is the model implemented?
TCB contains four security mechanisms, including authentication and identification, auditing, labelling and security policy. In order to understand how TCB is implemented and work. Let’s take the example of a bank—one of the most trusted icons in society today. When we make deposits, the money is recorded and safeguarded. It will be available when we want it back. We hardly consider the security mechanism in the back since we trust the banking system. All the mechanisms of TCB are in place. Before withdrawing money from the account, one is required to identify and authenticate themselves to the teller with the account number and signature. There is also discretionary access control that is who is authorized to withdraw money from the account. There are very few clerical problems since all the transactions that take place are audited. In development, the environment has to enforce the security model. Other concepts that are used when developing TCB include memory protection and handle, (Noorman, et al., 2019). This falls under the NIST requirement for assurance. When implementing TCB, it is essential to ensure that the application meets the basic requirements of NIST.

Abstract
Many organizations and enterprises have adopted the practice of storage of data in the cloud as it is fast, efficient and reliable. It has eliminated the challenge of loss of data and made it easier to retrieve data. Enterprises are therefore able to thrive in the current era where clients require their needs to be met quickly and in their desired timing. However it is faced with the challenge of security, many do not understand their responsibility of making sure that the data is secure. The storage of data in the clouds has decentralized the IT department because in most cases they are not in control of the data due to the ease of access to the various cloud service providers, different departments within an enterprise which have different service providers. The security mechanisms are not comprehensive to cater to all the service providers. Requiring one to use multiple security measures. Hence there exist several loopholes that can be exploited by criminals impairing the steady operations of the victims. Imposing security on the cloud requires that a mechanism is put in place to not only protect but also detect the threats. This will help in planning how to counter react to any possible threat. It does also ensure that there is a study of the trends of such crimes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

New Challenges within Transportation and Logistics
Management
1. Introduction
In a world that has fully embraced globalization and regional
trade, transportation has become one of the most important
businesses processes which enable effective carriage of raw
materials to the manufacturers and manufactured goods to the
2. end user. Currently, all the means of transportation are
effectively used depending on the preference of the client. This
crucial business process has led to the emergence of the
transport logistics managers whose main role is to ensure that
goods being transported reach their destination safely and on
time. Over the years, transportation logistics has become one
the most important process in the supply chain of any business
as the key to satisfying customer demands and gaining a
competitive advantage. However, the growth of the
transportation and logistics industry has led to the development
of new challenges over the years which continue to affect
logistics management. The main challenge within the
transportation and logistics management results from planning
and risk management which has been caused by the changing
environments within the industry. This paper seeks to
investigate some of the planning and risk management
challenges by answering the question; “what are the new
challenges facing logistics managers and how can they be
tackled?” It will outline three major challenges within
transportation and logistics management and discuss probable
solutions to each.
2. Literature Review
To research the challenges within transportation and logistics
management, this paper will investigate the relationship
between logistics management and supply chain management so
as to specifically focus on the former throughout the research.
This is because there is a strong relationship between
transportation logistics management and the supply chains in
that the former has become a critical element in supply chain
management (Wang et al. 2016). The use of these terms in
different resources has further expounded on this relationships
forming the definition of these terms as follows: Logistics
management is the act of organizing for the commercial
transportation of goods or raw materials by ensuring that the
transportation systems maintain an effective flow whereby the
products being transported can reach the receiver safely and on
3. time (Christopher, 2016). This activity incorporates different
procedures such as recording data and information about the
flow of goods, warehousing, and transportation.
According to Wang et al. (2016), it is the role of transportation
and logistics managers to ensure quality handling of all the data
and figures which account for daily operations and ensure that
there is smooth coordination of tasks within a transportation
logistics management company. Supply chain, on the other
hand, can be defined as a systematic process which involves
other interconnected operations which cater for the supply of
goods or services from the producer to the final consumer.
There are different processes which are included in a supply
chain which include production, packaging, storage, and
distribution/transportation; as such, the key players in any
supply chain are the manufacturers (producers),
suppliers/distributors, retailers, wholesalers, and
consumers/end-user. According to Speranza (2018), logistics
managers play the important role of supply and distribution
whereby they are required to comply with various laws and
regulations which govern their operations. However, this has
not been a major issue in transportation and logistics
management. According to Kasemsap (2018), planning and risk
management continue to affect logistics management in this
industry due to the continuous changes in the global business.
The start of globalization marked the start of the need for the
transportation and logistics management to adopt better
business processes which will satisfy the needs of the
customers. As such, logistics managers needed to ensure that
the processes involved in the logistics and transportation
operations were efficient and effective in achieving customer
satisfaction, business development, and generating more
revenues.
3. Discussion of the topic and new challenges
Currently, the challenge within transportation and logistics
management, therefore, revolves around three areas; i) planning
for inter-modal transportation, ii) management or the workforce,
4. and iii) transportation crisis management. In the first challenge;
planning and executing effective inter-modal transportation.
This challenge is mostly experienced in ports and sometimes in
distribution stores whereby managers have to plan for complex
transportation sequences (Christopher, 2016). For example, it
becomes challenging for managers to ensure time-efficiency
when there are different transportation modes/means involved in
the supply chain; in a sequence such as one which involves a
truck, ship, plane, and then a truck. In such a case, it becomes
difficult to guarantee that a client would receive his/her product
in an exact time. This challenge may create a bad business
image for the transportation and logistics firm and might lead to
massive profits since the company might be required to
compensate for time wastage. Additionally, the company may as
well loss clients leading to a loss of business.
The second challenge; the management of the workforce, has
made it impossible to improve the business process. Besides the
planning for the transportation of products, logistics
management requires expertise in relating to and dealing with
staff members who involved in the entire process. Continued
advancement in technology continues to change how business is
conducted in the transportation and logistics industry. Now
managers can keep track of what other employees do whereby
not many employees are able to cope with the requirements and
demands of certain job positions. For example, drivers will be
required to work in very remote and diverse geographical
locations which might not augur well to personal interests. Due
to this, it becomes difficult to retain most of the employees
involved in the industry.
The third challenge; transportation crisis, is mainly caused by
piracy, terrorism, and natural disasters (Kasemsap, 2018). This
has really crippled rail, air, and water transportation. In the
recent past, this challenge has been experienced during the
incidence of storms, and hurricanes which have made
transportation impossible in the affected areas. This challenge
has escalated the worries of transport logistics managers from
5. worrying about loading ships, airplanes, and trucks to dealing
with the natural crisis which are beyond man’s control. It
becomes difficult for managers to assure clients of the safety of
goods and cost-efficiency since these crises continue to threaten
transportation. Generally, the whole transportation and logistics
industry comes to a standstill in areas which experience such
problems.
4. Discussion of new solution(s) to the problem
The solution to solving planning and risk management
challenges in logistics planning will require each of the three
categories of challenges to be addressed independently. First,
the challenge experienced in planning for inter-modal
transportation can be solved by ensuring there are smooth and
seamless transitions between one means and mode of
transportation to another. This will significantly improve the
speed at which goods are moved from one carrier to another.
The transportation manager should ensure that the transitional
time is well accounted for during planning by making sure that
the required labor force and equipment are ready to receive
different shipments and place them in their required carriers
within the least time possible. This will improve the
performance of the company which will, in turn, increase profits
and saves the company a lot of money which could have instead
be used for compensating customer inconveniences.
Secondly, the challenge of management of workforce can be
addressed by ensuring that hiring and recruitment of staff
members outline clearly the requirements of an employee and
that only the qualified personnel are employed. This will make
it more convenient for the manager to coordinate different roles
and improve the business process for the benefits of the
company and the employees. Also, to ensure employee
retention, the manager should ensure that the advanced
technology and automation is used in the company so as to
make it easier for the employees to cope with demanding
working conditions (Speranza, 2018).
Thirdly, the challenge of transportation crisis is a recurring
6. problem and can only be addressed by improving the security of
the entire product movement process (Ballou, 2007). This
solution can be achieved if the transportation and logistics
industry to partner with governments in enhancing the safety of
products through identification of hotspot areas. For example,
dangerous areas in international shipping routes can be
identified and the transporters can be advised on how to avoid
them until strict security measures have been taken. Besides
this, the government can also guide the logistics manager in
planning for transportation process by ensuring that they
prepare effective disaster management and resilience systems
and infrastructure. This collaboration will help the logistics
managers since they will be warned prior to the incidence of a
natural disaster.
5. Conclusion
The results of this research show that the challenges facing
transportation and logistics management have changed over the
years. The common factor between the new challenges and past
challenges is the importance of technology in resulting to
solutions. This indicates that there is a need to adopt better and
advanced technology in transportation and logistics management
so as to mitigate the effects of these challenges.

(Ulrich & Kear, 2014). As such, care should be taken to
improve the infrastructure of health care
organizations. Improving patient safety should be discussed and
addressed by every individual
associated with public health care.
Elements of the Problem/Issue
Research shows that while getting treated at health care
organizations, patients might be
at risk of experiencing the harm or injuries associated with
medical care. The most likely causes
of patient safety issues are preventable adverse events, which
are adverse events attributable to
error. These errors can be classified as diagnostic errors,
contextual errors, and communication
errors (Ulrich & Kear, 2014).
Diagnostic errors take place when health care professionals
provide a wrong or delayed
diagnosis or no diagnosis at all (James, 2013). An example of a
wrong diagnosis is a health care
professional diagnosing a patient with gastric troubles when the
patient is actually experiencing a
heart attack. An example of a delayed diagnosis is a patient not
11. between health care professionals and patients (James, 2013).
They can cause severe harm to
patients. An example of this is a nurse failing to tell a surgeon
that a patient experienced
abdominal pain and had a drop in red blood cell count after an
operation, resulting in the death of
the patient due to severe internal bleeding. Limited health care
knowledge; language barriers;
and auditory, visual, and speech disabilities could also lead to
communication errors and cause
safety issues.
Analysis
As a medical transcriptionist, it is important for me to be aware
of potential transcription
errors and privacy standards, which affect patient safety. Errors
like these pose dangerous risks;
therefore, it is necessary to have an overall quality evaluation
of the transcribed documents.
Also, I must ensure that serious difficulties in transcription
resulting from poor-quality voice
files are reported immediately to the manager, who will then
convey this to the health care
professionals involved in the process. This will help ensure that
13. balanced continuing education programs, which has resulted in
a lack of attention to patient
safety among health care professionals. At the system level,
organizations fail to deliver
optimum health care as a result of being understaffed, an
inability to provide appropriate
technology, and ineffective execution of patient care transfer
(James, 2013). Overcrowding and
understaffing delays initiation of treatment and puts critically
ill patients at significant risk. All
of these factors contribute to a rise in patient safety issues.
Populations Affected by Patient Safety Issues
Patients with a psychiatric history are also a vulnerable group
of people who face patient
safety issues because their psychiatric records are often
combined with their current symptoms.
Patients with a documented history of psychiatric illness may
avoid seeking health care services
as they feel that their care will be based on their past record of
illnesses and not their present
needs. Therefore, psychotherapists should implement measures
such that their psychiatric data is
concealed from their medical records before it is shared with
the third party, which helps protect
15. professional to another is essential in ensuring continuous and
safe patient care. Training the
team could likely improve consistent successful communication
and help prevent errors.
Standardizing critical content that needs to be communicated by
the initial health care
professional ensures safe transfer of care (Farmer, 2016).
It is essential for leadership teams to adopt organizational
strategies that would improve
patient safety and transform their organizations into reliable
systems for enhanced patient
satisfaction. They should set strategic safety goals, which could
include adhering to standards of
health, assessing quality, using patient satisfaction reviews, and
analyzing adverse event reports
to determine improvement in safety issues (Parand, Dopson,
Renz, & Vincent, 2014).
An EHR is another potential solution to prevent patient safety
issues. It is a digital record
of a patient’s medical information that includes history,
physical examination, investigations, and
treatment (Ozair, Jamshed, Sharma, & Aggarwal, 2015). It helps
manage multiple processes in
the complex health care system and prevents errors. EHRs
16. utilize less storage space compared to
paper documentation and allow an infinite number of records to
be stored. In addition to being
cost-effective and preventing a loss of records, EHRs help
conduct research activities and
provide quick data transfer (Ozair et al., 2015).
Solution
In health care, because transmission of information takes place
among different people
and electronic devices, there is a high likelihood of errors
occurring. For example, transcription
errors (which occur due to poor audio quality or the lack of a
quality evaluation process) can be
prevented by using recording equipment with good sound
quality and by maintaining
18. implications such as security violation, data inaccuracies, lack
of privacy and confidentiality, and
challenges during system implementation. Security violation
takes place when patients’
confidential health information is accessible to others without
their permission. To avoid security
violation, data should not only be password protected but also
encrypted to restrict access to
unauthorized individuals. Firewalls and antivirus software
should be used to protect data (Ozair
et al., 2015).
Though EHRs improve patient safety by reducing medical
errors, data inaccuracies are
increasing. Loss of data during data transfer leads to
inaccuracies that affect decision-making
related to patient care. A problem of concern related to data
inaccuracy is medical identity theft,
19. which leads to incorrect information being filed into a person’s
medical record, which in turn
leads to insurance fraud and wrong billing (Ozair et al., 2015).
In health care, information that is shared during physician–
patient interactions should be
kept confidential and should be made inaccessible to
unauthorized individuals. Enabling role-
based access controls based on user credentials will restrict
access to the EHR system to
authorized users. The user should also be made aware that he or
she is responsible for any
information that he or she misuses (Ozair et al., 2015).
As EHR is a complex software, there is a high likelihood that
software failure may result
in inaccurate recordings of patients’ data. Therefore, EHR
system implementation may have
21. the specialty domain (Shenoy & Appel, 2017). These methods
will enable the safe and efficient
use of EHRs and ensure patient safety.
Conclusion
Patient safety involves preventing the risk of harm or injuries to
patients by establishing a
safety culture and providing high-quality medical care. Health
care organizations must
understand patient safety issues and find solutions for these
issues by designing systems that
prevent errors from occurring. Potential solutions include
effective communication, changes in
leadership style, and the use of EHRs. The ethical implications
of these solutions should be
considered before implementing them in a health care setting. It
is also important that health care
