MANUFACTURING PROCESS The microwave oven door with the screen helps observe the inside of the heating cavity, thus enhancing its safety and security. The door with the screen helps prevent electromagnetic wave leakage hence increasing its durability (Hiang, 2020, pp. 20). In most cases, the door screen comprises transparent plates having an electromagnetic wave shielding material placed in between. Present door plates are made from aluminum with a thickness ranging from 0.1 to 0.35mm and an aperture of 1.2mm in diameter. The parameters are consciously chosen to ensure that the aperture achieves a rate of more than 40% to prevent any leakage of electromagnetic radiations (Tanaka & Kai, 2017, pp. 1). As such, the manufacturing process ensures that the iron plates are coated with resins to serve as a protective measure. Hence, the door of the microwave ensures that the electromagnetic waves do not affect the surroundings since they are detrimental to human health. In other cases, the tempered screen is strengthened by ensuring that the door’s thickness is not less than 3mm. Chemically manufactured door screens are developed in…

Water Scarcity in the United Arab Emirates The United Arab Emirates is one of the world’s top water-scarce nations. In 2013, the total water consumption was around 4,200 Mm3, and the demand was met by supplied desalinated (42%), groundwater (44%), treated wastewater (14%), and surface-impounded water at 1%.  The UAE has one of the highest water consumption per capita worldwide of 550 liters per day. This is high compared with the average use in households in the United Kingdom, which is at 334 liters per day, Spain (198 LPD), Asia (95 LPD), and Africa (47 LPD) (Yagoub et al., 2019). Compared with other countries in the Arabian Peninsula, it has a lower domestic consumption than Bahrain’s 670 liters per day, Qatar’s (500 LPD), and Kuwait’s (400 LPD) (Paleologos et al., 2018). Around 9 percent of the water produced is used in the industrial and commercial sectors. This is about 400 Mm3 of water and is mainly used to clean and cooling machines. Wastewater usually is recycled and used for irrigation. Compared with most European countries, 50% of fresh water is…

Issues Facing South Africa  South Africa is struggling with economic challenges that need to be addressed to bring it back to a better path of economic growth. Some of these challenges are crime, racism, corruption, unemployment, politics, and poverty. The biggest challenges have been outlined as corruption, unemployment, and crime. The problems identified above have greatly influenced how the country deals with national concerns and the responses they give. In this paper, we are going to discuss the impact of these challenges, their consequences, and how they influence the decisions made. One major problem among South Africans is corruption. This is demonstrated by the questioning integrity mainly by the leaders. “A generation after the end of apartheid in 1994, black South Africans are still mostly shut out of the country’s economic opportunities, while ANC officials have enriched themselves largely through government contracts.” There have been lapses in governance due to the mismanagement of funds. Inefficient boards and project delays have resulted in inadequate service delivery robbing the country billions of money. This has led to the country’s loss of developmental…

Insider Trading Insider trading is the use of information not made public to carry out trade decisions providing traders with an unfair advantage over others. Insider trading violations involve sharing confidential, non-public information about securities, trading of security by the person given the knowledge, and the selling of securities by those who misappropriate such information. A recent case of insider trading involves Wells Fargo, a multinational financial services company. A research analyst tipped a trader at the firm who traded on the information provided instead of waiting for published research. This action went against the company policies of trading on security ahead of published research. He sold profitably from these reports that in a manner that did not fit his typical pattern of trading. This violation led to insider trading as it went against Section 10b of the Securities Exchange Act that allows traders to set a trading pattern to sell their stock. (Wang, 2010) Furthermore, the two employees willingly exploited Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. This gives the Securities and Exchange Commission powers to decide information issuers…

The shift in the manufacturing plants In a sustainable culture, people want to maintain what they have now and will pass on them to future generations. For example, people would protect existing artistic works, historical buildings, traditional food, languages, and even livable environments. By making our culture sustainable, our children will be able to carefully observe and still feel the current cultural atmosphere after a hundred years. This paper will focus on discussing how Guangzhou, one of the fastest-growing cities in China, preserves its culture, and makes it sustainable in terms of environmental protection. The city of Guangzhou has risen to be a first-tier city in China with the majority of production and shipping by local and foreign companies taking place daily. As a result, the city has increased the income and lifestyle of the local community. However, in the rapid rise in industrialization and urbanization, the environment became inhabitable due to the increase in pollution. There was a remarkable change in Guangzhou’s environmental policies that the government asked to remove a large number of plants and industries in the…

Ideas and Knowledge as Socially Constructed Based on the tenets of the theory of social constructionism, people develop ideas and knowledge that exists in the world in a given social context. Therefore, much of what people perceive as reality premised on ideas and knowledge are anchored on shared assumptions that are modelled in society. The aspects of knowledge and the dominant ideas in society are the products of social constructs. They are bound to change as society changes as most things that people believe are the objective reality and well-furnished knowledge are socially constructed and are bound to some changes in society. Therefore, all is thought to as a dominant idea or knowledge that has been constructed and accepted in society. Ideology and the Ruling Class The topic highlights an essential aspect that all the ideologies in society are the formulation of the ruling class. According to Marx and Engel, the dominant ideologies in the society that most people relate to are the products of the material relations, the ruling class that holds money and shapes up whatever they regard…

Conmen in Kenya Kenya is a country of cons. The ongoing Rashid Echesa scandal, however, revealed a new twist to this intricate game of chess. There is a rising class of conmen that is threatening the establishment. All Echesa associates were luos. From the Gold scam that splashed mud on Moses Wetangula to Echesa arms deal, our brothers from the lake seem to have taken up this new form of employment like fish to Lake Victoria. My girlfriend was once conned of our house rent by some quick talking thug who spoke good Dholuo and acted very brotherly. He made her even book a flight to Diani for a non-existent meeting. From the onset to the point of checkmate, a con game is such a sweet and joyful journey for most victims. This incident takes me to my brother Sheikh Okinyi who was conned of his school fees by some omera who was selling him an ‘original’ phone imported from Germany. To add salt to injury, the smiling Jagem even organized to have him arrested briefly so that he could…
