Taylor Experiences Cardiovascular Disease, Job and Family Stress, and Type A Personality (Biopsychosocial) Taylor is a 60-year-old biracial male of African American and Korean heritage who works as a trial lawyer. Taylor has been divorced from his wife for the past three years following a highly contentious settlement and has one adult son who is married with two children.

He smokes a pack of cigarettes a day, exercises rarely, and works long hours in a high-stress job. His father died of a heart attack in his fifties, and cardiovascular disease is rampant throughout his paternal family history.

Biological Factors: Taylor’s extensive family history of cardiovascular disease and his African American ethnicity clearly place him at increased risk for hypertension and heart attack.

B (FC)(Appellant) (2002) Regina v. Special Adjudicator (Respondent) ex parte Hoxha (FC) (Appellant) [2005]   Facts and Procedural History Both appellants, Mr Xhevdet Hoxha and B, are ethnic Albanians from Kosovo and Yugoslavian citizens. Before June 1999, the Serb army was deployed in Kosovo until NATO drove them out and replaced it with international peace-keeping troops from KFOR and UNMIK. During that period, both appellants experienced significant mistreatment by the Serbian authorities and fled Kosovo before June 1999. In Kosovo, they suffered gross ill-treatment, which was appalling. Back in September 1997, while trying to help and protect his father from Serb paramilitaries and soldiers, Mr Hoxha was shot three times in the leg by Serb troops who had forced their way into his house. He returned to Kosovo after receiving treatment in an Albanian hospital and staying for one year. Serb soldiers attacked him again in October-November 1998 and broke his leg using a metal bar.   However, treatment of B and his family by the Serbs was even worse. In October 1998, Serb soldiers invaded B’s house, beating him…

Effects of Isometric Training on Muscle Growth Chapter I: Introduction Physiological Area Isometric training on Muscle growth Rationale People across the world indulge in training just to keep fit. They rarely consider the type of exercise appropriate at any one particular moment and the subsequent effect. This is because they lack awareness of how different forms of exercise would be beneficial to them in one way or the other. Many people would avoid any type of exercise when they are faced with painful experiences due to body injury owing to the fear of extending the pain experience.   The myth has been in existence since time immemorial and only research can shed light on this contentious issue. Training is crucial as it reduces the loss of muscle mass as well as the loss of motor functioning. It follows that isometric training is necessary and should be continual if at all people are to stay mobile and flexible. It is worth noting that isometric training involves muscle contraction where the muscles are exposed to tension without the need to change neither the…

Operations and supply chain strategies for Pumpkin Patch company Introduction Pumpkin patch is a children fashion and clothing company in New Zealand that was doing very well at a worth of $830m in 2007 with a lot of branches across the world but went to being worthless nine years later due to a number of operational reasons. This store was established in 1990; its first big peak was in 2002 and in two years it was doing very well. When the founder, Ms. Synnott, left the board to the directors to find new people with new skills to run the company and move it to having many other branches of retail shops, by 2015 most of these shops were closing down. This shows that the label’s international expansion greatly contributed to the closing down of the company. According to Clare and Lloyd (1994), some of the reasons commentators gave that were likely to have caused the demise of the company included the fact that they expanded the businesses too fast and over relayed on debts, the fashion market was too…

Emergency Management Doctrine The preparation stage is the most important phase of emergency management. The phase involves continuous planning, exercising, and equipping. These activities are important since we cannot avoid emergent situations. Rather, the level of preparedness of emergency response teams is what is going to determine the damage that will result (Mojtahedi Bee, 37). The emergency response manager should be housed in the fire department. This way, the emergency teams from both departments can better co-work in case of a disastrous situation. Otherwise, they would take unnecessarily long to respond to calls leading to greater loses (Mojtahedi & Bee, 44). A stand-alone emergency department is as much unprepared to deal with urgent situations as is one that is under-staffed or has inadequate resources. These features reveal that the local government involved does not care much about emergencies probably because it has not experienced a major disaster before or there are not enough funds. As Quarantelli notes, Both Emergency Operation Centers (EOCs) and fusion centers play a critical role in facilitating the country’s homeland security efforts (380). Fusion centers enable…

Global Environment Politics The modern world is more unpredictable and complex than ever before.  Most people speculate that we are living in a global disorder and a chaotic international system. There still lacks a world government, and the USA cannot rule the global environment as it did in the 1990s because of the emergence of new players in the international markets, which makes it much more complex to identify current power relations. Globalization is encouraging the reemergence of nationalism since new emerging powers are seeking to gain political powers by national (re) affirmation. Western powers, especially in Europe, are trying to curb the rise of racist, xenophobic, and racist forces due to their inability to deal with the financial crisis effectively. The international community is faced with diverse problems that are having some relation to the environment, and unless there is cooperation, this chaos might become worse than ever seen before (Pereira, 2015). Different tools can be useful in studying global environmental politics. The various sub-themes in the study are global governance, civil society; or, climate changes, which will be…

Market structures include monopoly, perfect competition, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition. The market structures are what determine certain products’ pricing powers in different companies. Alongside the descriptions are several firms matching the market structures with the products produced and the barriers that may influence exit or penetration into the market.
