Developing a Social Enterprise Creating Value Customer Segments One of the profound issues hounding the country is the growing trend in homelessness and poor families. In part, this may be attributed to the misguided policies and harsh economic performances over the past two decades. Nonetheless, it is estimated that half a million people go homeless in a single night in the United States of America. It means that approximately 65% of the population is found within shelters while the rest are located in the streets (Family Promise). The statistics indicate that nearly 51% of homeless children are under the age of six, which means that 1 in 30 children experience homelessness annually. The statistics, in turn, affect the level of poverty in America. Worse still, nearly 40 million people in the United States live below the poverty line (FRAC 1). Poverty, as a result, affects almost 12.9% of women and 10.6% of men who work minimum wage, affecting both those who live in the rural and urban areas in the country (Poverty USA). More than 1 in 5 (15 million)…
Determinants of depression among the black community The development of mental health conditions is a common phenomenon in the society where every individual is susceptible to the development of these conditions. African American individuals have been primarily associated with the development of mental health disorders, with depression being the most prevalent (Assari & Caldwell, 2018). African American individuals are 20% time likely to develop mental health problems than the general population. The increasing rate of depression in African American citizens is mainly because the majority of African American individuals are highly exposed to factors that increase the risk for mental health development, which include poverty, exposure to violence, and homelessness (Assari, Gibbons & Simons, 2018). There are significant stereotypes that exist within the African American population regarding depression. People misunderstand mental health conditions, which in most cases, are ignored. This leads to existing assumptions that mental health conditions are associated with personal weaknesses and inability to an individual to control their behavior and cognitive wellbeing. There have also been concerns regarding the reluctance of African American citizens to discuss mental…
SQL Map Basics Overview SQL map is a software which is available open-sourced to the general users and is usually used as a SQL injection tool to identify the vulnerabilities in a SQL injection. ( Ibrahim & Kant (2018). It can also be used to gain access to a database running on those injections. It can enable the user to add, delete, modify, alter or even compromise the said database on which the attack is happening. It is backed by a potent detection engine and has a broad range of features along with various switches which can be used for executing commands through external connections. Capabilities SQL map is capable of doing many things and has a varied set of features, as discussed earlier. It supports varieties of database formats such as Microsoft SQL, MySQL, Oracle, PostGRE SQL, IBM DB2, Microsoft Access, firebird, SQ lite and many others. Commands can be executed with relative ease on the SQL injections as compared to other tools. It enables the user to connect directly to the database by proving the port…
How Decentralized Web 3.0 Technologies Will Shape the Future of Data Access Today’s internet is a whole world presented in interactive text and graphics, but if you have been around long enough, you can attest to how far it has come. What primarily comprised of static read-only pages in the Web 1.0 era is now home to intricate websites with more user involvement and easily accessible media. This transformation can be entirely attributed to the mainstream adoption of Web 2.0, a framework that allowed web pages to not only display information but also receive and process input from users. However, as technology continues to advance, the online world is increasingly uncovering the shortcomings of Web 2.0. Consequently, a buzz around the next frontier of the Web has been brewing. Supported by emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, data analytics, the Internet of Things, and most significantly, blockchain-powered decentralized applications, Web 3.0 promises to fill some of the most crucial gaps in the Web 2.0 framework, among them data access. Read on for a deep dive into how the…

The Wall Street Journal Analysis of Trends Insulin Giant Aims to Unlock Elusive Obesity-Drug Market Novo Nordisk is among one of the few organizations that are licensed to develop a medication that combats obesity. The company announced that it is banking on its obesity drugs to be the key to profitability in the medical industry. The manufacturer, who makes insulin for diabetic patients, is in the process of developing a drug that beats obesity (Roland, 2020). The majority of medics, however, advocate for life-style adjustments as opposed to the use of drugs to combat excessive weight loss. The drug has gained popularity with some employers who include it in their customized medical plans for employees. Regardless of the small number of employers who have taken it up, sales in excess of $1,000 in the first month of the launch are indicative of possible success. Plant-Based Meat Makers Compete on Price The meatless industry is one of the fastest developing industries globally due to the rising demand for reduced meat intake. The rise of plant-based alternatives to meat is increasingly being purchased,…
approaches that can be used to reduce the stroke prevalence and its side effects Introduction Stroke is a leading health concern in the US and across the globe. Its prevalence is anticipated to increase owing to demographic changes, such as increased aging. A stroke is commonly known as a brain attack and takes place when blood supply to the brain is blocked, causing brain damage or death. A stroke can result in long-term disability, brain damage, and mortality. Demystifying stroke leads to a better understanding of the brain. The brain requires oxygen to perform its functions efficiently, including controlling body movements and functions and storing individuals’ memories. When the blood flow is blocked, the brain cells begin to die, leading to a stroke. Two types of stroke manifest differently (“About stroke,” 2019). First, an ischemic stroke takes place when blood clots and other particles block the blood vessels leading to the brain. Second, a hemorrhagic stroke is caused by a blood build-up that can be attributed to blood vessel burst in the brain. The effects of the disease are fatal,…
Health Disparities among American India population Introduction The American Indian population has struggled with the challenge of disparities in access to health care for many years. Health disparity continues to affect both the American Indian and the Native communities in Alaska (Jones, 2006). The problem of health disparity across the Native American populations is historical and is mainly propagated by the lack of proper data, poor nurse leadership, and few American Indian nurses (Bauer & Plescia, 2014; Sarche & Spicer, 2008). The disparity in health among the American Indian communities has resulted in a high prevalence of chronic infections, especially in older people. This health problem has been strongly associated with the poor health services seeking behavior of the Native Americans. A variety of factors have been associated with the health disparities in Native Americans across the Alaska region. Poverty is one factor that has been implicated as causation of disparity in access to health services. Health resource distribution remains poor among the American Indian population, particularly human resources. A previous study has shown that there are very few American…
