The primary materials utilized in this essay include “The Tender Frame of Man”: Disease, Climate, and Racial Difference in India and the West Indies, 1760-1860” by Mark Harrison and “Tropical Medicine’s Contribution to Colonial Racism” by Daniel Baron.

Behavioral Finance Financial decision making requires the implementation of effective regulations. Similarly, different disciplines like psychology and economics, influence the nature of the rules utilized in making rational judgments. The decisions made in life rely on the need to maintain happiness. Equally, the choices made regarding emotional and economic situations must result in the achievement of long term objectives. Similarly, the actions that result in personal satisfaction depend on external factors like government regulations and economic conditions. According to Daniel Kahnemann article on Behavioral Finance, the theory of behavioral finance is critical in the implementation of commercial plans. Kahnemann is a Professor in Psychology at the Princeton University (BCC Speaker, 2018). However, Kahnemann indicates that some of the choices made by financial managers rely on irrational thoughts. As such, the decisions focus on the short term rather than long term needs. Similarly, the managers end up with the selection of inadequate measures. According to the psychologist, the majority of the decisions made by the investors result in irrational judgments. The model proposed by the speaker indicates that the cognitive ability…
Disparities to Health in Healthy People 2020 Introduction As a population becomes increasingly diverse, the health care systems face new opportunities and challenges as they strive to deliver better care according to the needs of society. Health disparities refer to differences in health and health care between groups that are closely linked with social, economic, and environmental disadvantages. Inequalities are experienced in dimensions such as sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, gender, disability status, and geographical location (Akinboro et al., 2016). According to Healthy people 2020, the disparity is defined as a health difference that is associated with social or environmental disadvantages. Such inequities tend to affect individuals who regularly experience extreme obstacles based on their race or gender. Over the years, racial and ethnic minorities have experienced redundancy upon reception of medical care, and this still exists as a challenge to them. Tools to Identify Health Care Inequities The Health Research and Educational Trust of America identifies various tools that will aid in identifying and provide amicable solutions to solve health inequality cases. The department seeks to…
Warehouse designs 1. Introduction Changing of warehouse designs is not a task you see every day. A thorough study on the current system is done to determine its weaknesses and strengths to ensure that the new, improved system will efficiently work while rectifying the mishaps that were experienced from the predecessor layout system (Mohsen and Hassan, 2002). The turnover process is prone to facing some problems. Some of the managerial issues accompanying the amendment are as stated below. 2. Managerial Issues Expected During Rolling Out Of The New Design First and foremost, issues are bound to arise when any new system is introduced. One should, therefore, not be dismayed when issues occur. They should instead be adequately prepared to combat the problems. Thus, a precise budget should be made while incorporating risks that may arise. Extra costs should also be expected on the items and staff that may be needed when the crisis arises. A risk analysis is, therefore, carried out during the rolling out of the system to be prepared for anything that could happen. The above issues were…

Vegucated Documentary Film Analysis This video offers a very non-preachy and balanced approach to what can be a highly contentious topic. It follows the transformation of real people as they are exposed to both the food and ethics of a vegan lifestyle (05:53). For those who are non-vegans, the video provides lots of valuable information in a very accessible and relate-able manner. While the documentary does present some of the gory details about slaughter, and inhuman nature of animal agriculture, it does this factually without being overly sensational or dramatic. The result is a very authentic representation of ordinary people and their reactions to the truth about meat, milk and dairy. To answer the question of, should meat-eaters watch this video, the answer is a resounding YES.

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…

Investors are subjected to many kinds of risks while they invest in the securities of the markets. Some of these risks are currency fluctuations, movements in the market, fluctuations in the interest rates, inflation and exchange rate fluctuations. Derivatives are those financial instruments that are derived from the prices of the underlying securities. They are used as hedging instruments for minimising the market risks of the investors.

Through this diversified range of asset classes, the investors can dilute their risks through a strategic asset allocation in their portfolios. The paper would provide deeper insights into this topic through the study of various studies proposed by eminent authors. The paper would also give some substantial evidence of risk reduction of the investors. Literature review on the use of derivatives in…
