Environment Improvement of Dementia Dementia has a wide variety of effects on the patient’s cognitive ability making even the most mundane tasks such as coordinated movement and navigation difficult. Various forms of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease in the medium to advanced stages make movement in a coordinated manner hard      (Baldwin, 2009). Additionally, the patient’s short and long term memory become compromised meaning they cannot navigate in areas that require one to remember their route. Indeed, some forms of dementia also affect the cognitive abilities associated with information processing meaning the patient cannot associate signage and other symbolic imagery with the meaning (Cameron-Taylor, 2012). Therefore, the patient cannot understand the symbol for danger, or that that reads exit and entry. These problems make dementia patients undergo tough times when in large complex spaces such as aged care facilities where there is a need for memory, coordination, and the ability to process various sensory and mental information appropriately. When offering supportive care for patients suffering from dementia, one aspect that forms an important part of the care is provision of an…

Effect of the religious environment Introduction Most of the time, art is involved in ceremonies and other practices. Much of the art related to religion applies symbolic images that pertain to the perceptions. Renaissance art is the sculpture, painting, and decorative arts of the time of European history.

The macro-environment of business forces The macro-environment of business includes six distinct external and uncontrollable forces that affect the business operations in terms of operations management. These distinct forces are the demographic, economic, political, ecological, socio-cultural, and technological forces which impact a business decision making process and shapes specific structures such as the diversity requirements and the legal framework of a company (Elias, Alexopoulou, Scholes and Hughes, 2019). The forces are essential in the making of strategic decisions, especially for companies that work within different regions and the requirements of the forces act differently for each region. For instance, in the political demands of the US-based companies such as Colgate Palmolive, the company is liable to the dealings it makes outside the US that is controlled by the US government. Any company that makes deals outside of the US jurisdiction can be monitored and held culpable if it fails to adhere to the transparency rules that are set by the US policies on business proceedings. The ITA in the US regulates the way companies handle their expansion in other regions…

Oil Spillage and Its Environmental Effects Many fundamentals of the environment are affected when oil spillage occurs depending on the extent and location of the spill and can range from slight to severe effects. An oil spill, for example, has effects such as loss of habitat for fish and animals. Heavy oils may have an impact on animal functions like thermo-regulation, respiration, and feeding. The whole ecosystem can temporarily change due to constituents of chemicals and components of spilled oil that are harmful to the environment. Oil spillage is caused by accidental spills, natural factors, sabotage, or production of oil operations. When oil spills happen in freshwater or the ocean, it does not mix well with water; hence it floats on the surface. Afterward, the oil forms a thin coating that prevents sunlight from reaching the environments in the ocean. Lack of sunlight affects producers and, therefore, the whole food chain in the ocean. This coating called slick can extend into thousands of miles due to factors such as currents and waves (Schiel et al. 8). Rough seas can separate…
