E-mail: ramky@zafu.edu.cn Dr Amali, Department of Biotechnology, Sathyabama University, Chennai, India Abstract Stem borer (Chilo partellus) is a complex parasite with extensive host range and causes substantial yield losses in many economically important crops, including Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor). Which is an important cereal crop of tropical grasses, grown worldwide, where stemborer is a major yield constraint for the production fields. In the present study, transgenic sorghum expressing the Bt cry2A gene under the control of a double…
Managerial Economics Article analysis on economic structures – command and market economy Student name: Professor name: University: Article analysis on economic structures – command and market economy The economic systems of the society act as its pillars for growth. Among the four primary types of economic systems, each has been found to have certain features that widely vary from that of the others – in terms of critical decision making, investment planning, permissions, and many more. One article on the command economic system and the other on the market economic system would be chosen and analyzed to understand the concepts.

Managerial Economics Economic systems – analyzing articles on chosen systems Student name: Professor name: University: Economic systems – analyzing articles on chosen systems There are four primary systems of the economy that exist in our society. They are the traditional economy, command economy, market economy, and the mixed economy (“Economic Systems | Intelligent Economist”, 2020). Each of these systems comes with varied features, advantages, and disadvantages. In this context, it is necessary to mention that each system differentiates from the other. For this reason, two articles will be chosen on the command economy and mixed economy to understand the systems to a better extent. Summary of an article on command economic systems An article evaluating the performance given by the communist command economy was chosen. In this study, the researcher assesses the estimates made by the CIA for evaluating how successful the command economy was in the USSR. In simple terms, a command economy can be described as a system of the economy where the decision about producing goods is made by the government instead of the free market. In…
Evaluation of the quality of customer service at the Modern Hospital Health care is one of the most important services to human beings (Gupta, 2016). The services help promote and sustain health by managing diseases, reducing infections and disabilities and event prevent premature death. As such, health care facilities must offer excellent services, including customer care services. Efficient customer care services are particularly crucial for guiding the patient through treatment, responding to concerns, informing and reassuring patients that their illness is being handled by qualified staff. Due to the importance of medical services, most patients are forced to assess potential hospital before visiting the facility, especially if the medical need is not an emergency. Recently, I was considering visiting the Modern Hospital, one of my local hospitals, for a general health checkup. From the evaluation of the local health care facility, the services offered do not meet the qualities of an efficient customer care services. The facility provides poor reception, inadequate communication, and fails to be transparent. One would expect that the hospital reception welcomes new patients into the facility…

Copernicus, Nicolas [1473-1543] present broad types of the heliocentric theory…
ME Mixed and Market Economic System- Article review Student Name: Professor Name: University: Mixed and Market Economic System- Article review The chosen article is based on Market Economic System or a free market economy, which is based on self-interest. Ideally, a free-market economy is free from government intervention. In this article, the focus has been given on Singapore, one of the highly successful nations in Asia. The researchers have attempted to examine the impact of a free market economy on a nation like Singapore. The reason behind the success of the nation is its free market (Lim, 1983). Although, the myth surrounding the ill-effects of a free market exists, Singapore managed to question the myth. Research suggests that the nation continued to enjoy stable prices and a corruption-free environment. Interestingly, in comparison to other developed nations, the GDP of Singapore is high, and on a positive note, the rate of employment is low as well. Hence, the researcher claimed that notions surrounding market economy are false. Although, it is to be noted that the myth surrounding this type…
Social Media: Avenues for (Dis)connectivity? In the last few decades, technology has transformed how people access and gather information, as well as how they interact. Whether it be Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, or Snapchat, social media platforms have created a type of connectivity that was unimaginable in the past. However, recently, concerns have increased about the somewhat ironic tendency for such technologies to disconnect users in real life. In a study by Ciobanu (2017), it was established that social media usage contributes to depression and negative emotions such as self-doubt and envy. Moreover, social media, while enhancing digital communication, has meant that real-life interactions have reduced over time. Often, people give priority to social media and other technologies at the expense of real-life interactions, as figure 1 demonstratesFigure 1: Social media interfere with our social life. Source Malmquist, (2018). In her book, Malmquist (2018), advises humanity to “take a step back” and reflect on their social media habits and in the process make use of the innate communication abilities that existed prior the digital era. Consequently, it can be deduced that…

The researcher has focused on comparing the winner of the war that exists between large corporations and states within the free market economy (Bremmer, 2010). The researchers have focused on secondary sources to identify the practices of the government. Background research shows that the authoritarian governments are completely embraced the entire capitalist system because the sole motto of the government is to maximize the economy. Maximizing profits and promotion of political goals in order to achieve political dominance has been the motivating factor. However, crisis related to the global capitalist system led to severe unmanageable issues. The global economic crisis challenged the concept of free-market capitalism. The emergence of state capitalism occurred and this in turn, challenged the free market capitalism. The authoritarian leaders now have an alternative…
Is the United States Still Committing Genocide Against Native Americans? For a long time, myths have been passed from generation to generation about Native Americans, something that has resulted in many people in the United States being misinformed about indigenous Americans. It is worth noting that the dehumanization of American Indians happens to be a tradition that started from the founding of the United States. However, it is high time people start considering the current situation of the American Indian communities. This essay will utilize Conflict Theory to sociologically examine the possibility that the United States of America is presently committing a covert genocide against Native Americans. It is worth noting that the term ‘genocide’ is one of the more profoundly misunderstood terms as far as the English language is concerned. The term is derived from the Greek word genos that reflects upon race and tribe, and the Latin word cide that means killing. According to Lemkin’s description, genocide is more focused on any policy that is embraced with the sole purpose of bringing about the dissolution as well as…
