Application of Time Series Article identification Over time, time-series has continued to evolve, and different scholars have continued to utilize its presence in providing possible solutions and immediate response to various issues. However, to understand further the application part of the time series, there is a need to explore also on separate identifiable articles and research-based articles that have continued to improve the meaning and application of time series. However, a report that presents a research-based approach of time series involves the incorporation of an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model. A model is the right approach that gives a better view of time series data and helps identify the non-zero autocorrelation between successive values of time series. The research aims at getting a specific solution and utilizes different aspects of getting to gain the most desirable outcome. The use of time series is continually evident through the researcher’s ideas continuously throughout the research. Its purpose is the most intriguing aspect that led to the article selection as an accurate representation of the primary application of time series and incorporation…

Human Interventions in Forest Environments Global concern on the levels of deforestation as a result of human activities has risen over the last few decades. Tropical deforestation is a result of a number of human activities, including commercial logging, fuelwood collection, cattle ranching, large-scale development projects, and agriculture. The impact of these activities has been a sharp decline in the area of forested areas globally, negatively affecting the balance in the ecosystem. Several approaches have been mooted on how to manage the deforestation menace, though the success in addressing this problem has not been to the expected levels (Laurance, 1999). There remains a lot of concern about the long term future of our planet as we continue to feel the impacts of deforestation, for instance, global warming. The effects of deforestation on the global fauna and flora have also been a major taking point. Given the increase in deforestation levels and its impacts on the planet, there is a need to come up with measures to stem this problem to guarantee the future of the planet and its ecosystems.…
John Locke and Marx John Locke and Marx have placed property and labor at the center of their theoretical models, yet their theories are wholly different. While Locke claims that Labor does confer the private property right, making private property preservation a cortical element of his political theories. Marx thinking that the labor of the proletariats is usually exploited by capitalist production system and capitalism will always alienate people from their labor. As such, Marx has defended the theory which is aiming at eliminating alienation and exploitation through the means of production that enhances public control, John Locke ha portrayed people in the natural state before money was created as needing work so that they cud survive. Human beings require work gather and store food, hunt, build, weapons, obtain clothes, and others, human beings are never born with shelter, cotes, weaponry, compared to animals, human beings also lack the extreme strength that animals have too. As a result, a human being has to work to flourish. He or she must work closely with other people to divide necessary labor and…

Ageism, employment, and older adults Research Question What are the effects of ageism at work for older adults? Introduction All over the industrialized nations, the general population and the workforce are aging at a faster rate. With this comes increased rates of discrimination of older employees have become a significant focus for policymakers, trade unions, and politicians. Even though there have been efforts to prevent behaviors of discrimination through employment policies and laws across Europe, Central, and North America, it is still prevalent in companies and organizations. Ageism in the workplace has both negative consequences for the older workers themselves as well as the performance and productivity of the companies (Naegele et al. 2018). It impacts the careers of older employees by limiting job opportunities, performance evaluation, and promotions. The main aim of mitigating these consequences and improving company performance is to eliminate any occurrence of ageism. In doing this, it’s essential to investigate and identify the factors that mitigate or allow ageism to thrive in the workplace. That is because its impacts are not only limited to older workers…
Walmart’s Innovations to Supply-Chain Management Walmart is a transnational retail corporation based in America. It was established in 1962, in Arkansan, the U.S.A. with Sam Walton as the founder, and Mike Duke as the current C.E.O. The company runs chains of large departments and warehouse stores.

Describe 3 ways in which employment and labor laws limit an employer’s decision to discipline or discharge its employees The National Labor Relations Act requires that if an employer has grievances against an employee, the alleged violation must be forwarded to the office of general counsel to investigate the allegations. The office of general counsel is an independent state office which ensures the matter is handled impartially and both sides are given a fair hearing. This protects the employee against arbitrary and unfair employer action. If the allegations are unsubstantiated, the matter is referred to an internal appeal panel to resolve. It the allegations are substantiated then a complaint is issued, and the office of general counsel files the case with the Administrative law court. The office of the general counsel persecutes in the court proceedings, and the judge makes a ruling on the matter. The employee can appeal the decision of the Administrative law court at the Circuit court. The Circuit court will hear the matter and make a ruling. If the employee is not satisfied with the court…
Human Capital Investment and Employment Human capital investment is a critical factor in determining the marginal labor productivity of an individual and his/her income; that is, the added productivity per hour of hiring an extra employee (Young, 2019). Education increases one’s employability, and the salary one can get from a specific job. College education, for instance, equips people with skills and knowledge vital for the delivery of work in diverse job specifications. Depending on the demand and supply of labor in different industries, education in various disciplines increases one’s probability of getting a job in that industry at different rates. A key concept in workforce employment is unemployment. The higher it is, the less likely that one will get a job in the desired field. Different forms of unemployment exist. The following are some of the main types. Disguised unemployment occurs when one’s job does not lead to the complete utilization of skills and knowledge. In other words, the employee would have offered more into the position. This kind of unemployment leads to the loss of money that the…
The Theory of Invisible Hands Adam Smith introduced the term “invisible hands” in 1776. He argued that there exists an unforeseen force in the market that aids in balancing the demand and supply (Karlson, 2017). Smith adds that people are likely to apply their resources where they are likely to receive the highest return. He also suggested that, if people could be allowed to trade freely, self-centred traders would venture into activities, to increase the gain to capital, while enhancing market productivity (Stiglitz, 1991). However, these individual actions result in unforeseen consequences that benefit society. Although some economists have criticized Smith’s arguments, the theory has proved meaningful because most economies today result from unintended consequences that he postulated. Modern economists argue that the unintended benefits associated with the invisible hands have four significant features (Aydinonat, 2009). First, the consequences of the invisible hand must relate to a social phenomenon and felt at the macro-level. Secondly, individuals have to make independent decisions in response to the market forces of supply and demand. Lastly, the decisions must never be communal. The actions…
