The importance of cotton to the Atlantic and American antebellum economy. When the demand for a product is high and its supply low, the price typically rises. Initially, American farmers invested in the farming of tobacco and rice, an investment that experienced a high turn over during the antebellum era. The introduction of cotton farming was due to the high demand for cotton that existed in Great Britain. Majority of the farmers thus shifted their concentration to this particular crop which was very easy to store and transport. In as much as the first plants were labour intensive, they were lucky in this field because there was an invention of a cotton gin which made it very easy to separate raw cotton from the seeds. How could they shift so fast to a crop that initially did not exist in the United States? This paper seeks to answer this question by explaining the various reasons why cotton was essential to the economy of the Atlantic and America, which is also the reason why farmers found it profitable to invest in…

 expertise and procedures of doctors involved in NTDC management Discussion This cross-sectional research was planned to assess the expertise and procedures of doctors involved in NTDC management and to recognize variables linked to their prescription behavior. The author compiled data in the emergency department treating NTDC on the expertise, disposition, and management of doctors. In this analysis, four NTDC clinical situations were used as a way of examining preferred management by physicians. The study showed that most of the doctors surveyed opted to write an antibiotic prescription for NTDC problem scenarios where the antibiotics prescription was not specified. Although pain may be medically correlated with a disease, it must be observed that antibiotics may not specifically alleviate endodontic discomfort. It can only be used for an already healthy person if there exists a systemic involvement such as swelling and pyrexia (Dana et al., 2019). Nonetheless, the study showed that most of the practitioner’s feedback indicated that Scenario 3 had 98.83% antibiotic prescribing agreement matched by Case 2, 91.86%. The antibiotic of preference, in cases 1, 2 and 3, was Amoxicillin…

Sources of competitive advantages for digitized supply chain  The rise of the digital consumer has recently relied on the proper application of the digital technology and progressive analytics to meet the constantly growing needs of the digital consumer, and drive improved innovation, developed productivity, minor costs and the ability of faster growth. Digitization takes down the walls, and the supply chain converts to a unified ecosystem that is transparent to all players involved.   Top trends Years to come will significantly realize the modulation point in what way the digitized supply chain determines the competitive advantage and growth. The growth will depend wholly on implementing the unified technological tactic. The businesses that will, therefore, realize the most significant results are those that aggressively capitalize on a comprehensive digital strategy. Technology has fully penetrated every part of the consumer lives, so it follows that it is also triggering a significant change in manufacturing and the supply chain. Today’s digital technologies have assisted the supply chain in achieving situational consciousness and context-sensitive decision making. The supply chain digitization does not only escalate efficiencies but also…

Online Data Warehouses and Analytical Processing Q 1: Data Warehouse and Operational Database A data warehouse refers to a system designed for pulling together data (large volumes of information) from a wide range of sources that an organization uses for analysis and reporting. It uses reports with complex queries to make different business decisions. A data warehouse is also seen as a consolidated logical or physical repository of data gathered from various systems. The primary focus or purpose of a data warehouse is to store large volumes of historical information. It also used for OLAP (Online Analytical Processing), which uses various complex queries to evaluate rather than process transactions (of data) (Rostek, 2010). On the other hand, an operational database refers to an instance of a database that updates or creates large chunks of information in real-time. The creation or upgrade of large data is based on various technologies that bolster the speed, availability levels, recoverability, concurrency, and data integrity required a particular set of data. Some of the standard operational databases include sensors, machine data, science, IoT (Internet of Things),…

They can administer without getting any limitation for controlled drugs and prescription (legend), adjunct medical/health services, durable therapeutic goods, devices, and other supplies and equipment. These nurses do not require a physician around to supervise or oversee as they are qualified. Their primary purpose of practicing for APRNs also being part of the Consensus Model of the APRN that fights to get uniformity of the State’s…

EDI INTEGRATION IMPACT FOR COMPLICATION OF INFORMATION FLOW IN INCLUSIVE SUPPLY CHAIN ABSTRACT     One of the critical components of supply chain operation performance is the data exchange in the supply chain. In terms of both research and business practice, incorporation of the supply chain data is a current issue. This also comes from the usage of multiple IT structures to assist business partners ‘management in the supply chain. One approach to integrating These structures into the supply chain is by the introduction of Electronic data exchange (EDI), which facilitates the sharing of electronic records between stakeholders and decreases the time for transfer of data and expense of cooperation. EDI is a fast and secure way for company records to be moved. This allows for logistic data flow optimization and physical process synchronization. The EDI design often affects logistic processes operating performance by reducing errors induced by faulty communication flows. The purpose of this report is to explain the impact of e-data exchange in the very complex and demanding market climate on the implementation of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). We…

External Competitiveness and Internal Alignment External competitiveness policy in an organization refers to the dynamic system in which business functions against another organization offering the same service in an environment that is externally competitive while internal alignment policies are set of strategies and systems laid by an organization based on the worth of the organization (Bisceglia,2018). External competitiveness enables an organization to decide on how to pay its employees based on how similar organizations are paying their employees. Internal alignment compares job and skills level and how they are related to their pay among the employees of the same organization. In internal alignment, employee contributions to the organization are compared, and this creates competition within the members of the organization. As a result of internal alignment policy, employees are influenced to improve their skills in their field of specialization due to the internal competition among the employees. Internal alignment focus on pay relationships hence motivating employees to choose to increase their training, which affects the workforce and hence the efficiency of the organization. External competitiveness enables an organization to pay…

Internet of Things and Privacy             The Internet of Things refers to the network of physical devices which generally include the home appliances and some other items which are embedded with sensors, software, actuators, electronics, and the connectivity which enables the embedded items to connect directly and exchange data (Atzori, Iera & Morabito, 2010). Every embedded item is identifiable uniquely by the computing system put in place. The number of capable online devices is increasing at a higher rate and it is anticipated to follow the same trend in future. With the Internet of Things, objects can be sensed or rather can be controlled remotely within the network infrastructure put in place (Chahid, Benabdellah & Azizi, 2017). This creates opportunities for directly integrating the physical world into systems which are computer-based. This results to improvement in accuracy, efficiency and economic benefit. It also leads to the reduction of the human intervention as most of the duties which could otherwise be performed manually by individuals are performed digitally by the computer systems put in place. Internet of Things is gaining interest and…
