Toilet paper in Portugal Competitive landscape The toilet paper industry contains large, small, and medium-scale competitors that provide increased competition to firms operating in the industry. The industry is divided into premium labels, private labels, and economy labels. In Portugal, the toilet paper industry has experienced growth, with a significant portion being attributed to the growth of the private label. The private labels have had the fastest growth based on the strategy that they have employed. Private labels have experienced growth based on their understanding of quality and pricing ration, which means that people get the highest quality for the right prices, which makes the commodity affordable to different people. Premium products have been associated with increased purchase as people have more income. The increase in income has led to premium labels experiencing higher growth and purchases which have been beneficial as people are concentrating on branding and the quality rather than on the price of the products. The economic brand has faced the least growth as though people concentrate on the price, a majority will factor in the quality…
Awareness and Knowledge of Sexually Transmitted Diseases among College Student Institutions of higher learning, such as Universities and Colleges, have reported the highest number of cases of sexually transmitted diseases. Cases of infections such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis are some of the most common ones, and the numbers have risen to unprecedented levels for the past half a decade, especially in the United States of America. For instance, in 2018 alone, a total of 2.4 million cases of infections were diagnosed and reported. The rise of STDs incidences has several public health consequences, such as causing infertility and infant death caused by congenital syphilis, among others (Howard, 2019). It is, therefore, essential to have an awareness for the public, especially students in these institutions of higher learning. It is critical to make them aware of the causes and consequences of these sexually transmitted diseases. Also, behavior modification can be used to ensure that the numbers have gone down. However, it is essential to note that a majority of students in these institutions are of age and are sexually active.…
primates have comparatively larger brains likened to other mammals Previous research has shown that primates have comparatively larger brains likened to other mammals. Such observations have led researchers to propose several accounts associated with the evolution of the enlarged size of the brain in the primate lineage. According to DeCasien, Williams and Higham (2017), ecological variables, such as diet and dental morphology, explain relative brain size difference in non-human primates. Milton and May (1976) told that primates have a strong relationship between body weight and home range area. Equally, dietary habits influence home range area, as folivorous primates occupy smaller areas for their body weight compared to omnivores. Information regarding adaptations of mammals based on anatomy is either from their teeth structure and bones or used the structures in behavior. As Kay wrote, living humans and Plio-Pleistocene forerunners have cheek teeth enclosed with a thin layer of enamel, while Homo have erect biped, thus terrestrial (Kay, 1984). Researchers have also reasoned that Paranthropus have larger molars and smaller incisors than Australopithecus, which reflect the specific functional specializations. The large molars…
Aspects That Make the Environment More Inclusive For People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) An inclusive environment for children with ASD should address their specific needs, especially regarding socialization, sensory responsiveness, and communication (Falvo, 2013). First, there should be a responsive sensory environment for these children to enable them to process and organize the information they gather from their senses, such as taste, touch, sight, smell, and sound. As such, they will have enhanced sensory integration that can boost their balance, visual perception, self-help skills, and coordination, gross and fine motor development, and consequently promote their engagement in social activities (Woronko & Killoran, 2011). For instance, the children who are tactile under-responders can be given vibrating pencils to ensure constant tactile stimulation. Their disruptive sensory seeking character can also be minimized by giving them fidget toys to hold. The ASD children who are over-responsive to sight and sound should be given auditory integration training. Sound dampening tools like floor carpeting can also be included in their environment to reduce visual and sound distractions. Their effective communication can also be enhanced…
Cholera Cholera refers to a bacterial disease that causes severe diarrhoea and dehydration in human. The primary way the spread of this disease occurs is through contaminated water. The bacteria that causes cholera interferes with the normal flow of sodium and chloride and binds itself to the small intestines. The body then starts to secrete large amounts of water, and this leads to diarrhoea and rapid loss of water and fluids. The disease calls for immediate treatment as death happens within hours after a person have been infected. The modern sewage treatment methods play a vital role in helping to eliminate cholera in most countries. Countries that have been affected by war, poverty and natural disasters are at significant risk for the cholera outbreak. War and misery tend to force people crowding, and if the sanitation is poorly maintained, the cholera outbreak occurs. The various means through which cholera is transmitted include; inadequate water treatment, poor sanitation, insufficient hygiene. Individuals become infected with cholera from consuming food and water that have been contaminated with the faeces of infected persons. In…
Health organizations track patient experience Health organizations track patient experience to evaluate and enhance clinical delivery. Since the nurses spend a great deal of time with patients, they affect patient care plans tremendously. To improve patient quality experience, nurses need to know what factors affect health care and patients. In a learning healthcare system, patients and their family members play a crucial role in defining and running the learning process (Delaney, 2018). If patients are absolute and actively involved in their treatment and care plan, they significantly show improvements in their wellness, treatment quality, and economic outcomes. Patients deserve treatment in all environments that rely on their conditions and is not the one suitable for the health professionals concerned. For optimal treatment, both patients and clinicians will participate. Clinicians offer information and guidance based on their medical knowledge and potentially result in the diagnosis and intervention choices (O’Leary et al., 2016). Patients and their families have intimate experience of or lack of different treatments for the conditions and desires of the patient. The selection of the right care alternative includes…

correlation between the health condition and married and unmarried people Abstract The main aim of the study was to determine the correlation between the health condition and married and unmarried people. The health condition of the married and the unmarried people differ, and thus, the study was to establish how they differ. The study employed a literature review basing on past studies that were done to identify the knowledge gaps. The study adopted the simple random sampling technique to select the 500 participants as the representation of the population. The research used closed structured interviews to get factual information through their feelings and emotions. The study adopted a descriptive design procedure and used pre-tests, post-tests, and control groups and assigned the participant to a control group and an experimental group. The data was analyzed through descriptive statistics. The results obtained from the study showed that many people who were had poor health conditions were married or women. The results of the study generate both theoretical and practical awareness to other researchers and health institutions that use the information to help…
Preventing Viral Diseases Countries across the world have different ways of dealing with challenges. Viral infections, for example, has remained a problem across the world. Different countries deal differently with viral diseases because of factors such as leadership, population, capital resources, literacy, and so many other factors. The complexity of how countries deal with viruses is also dependent on virus transmission and the history of the illness. Significant differences occur in how western and eastern countries deal with viral infections. The focus of this research is to identify prevention strategies used in the prevention of virus in the west and the east. Eastern countries use multiple prevention strategies for a virus such as raising awareness, screening, disinfection/hygiene, viral exposure reduction, vaccination, pre/postexposure prophylaxes. Secondary prevention strategies for viruses include the process of identifying and providing counseling for infected persons and treatments (Pfaender et al., 2016). In extreme infectious cases like the Coronavirus, Eastern countries include the quarantine and isolation of the infected people. For example, isolation in the eastern states is currently being experienced with the Coronavirus, where some cities…
The Ethics of Workplace Privacy “The Issues the Company Faces if Mary cannot Institute a Workplace Privacy Policy.” Workplace privacy is an increasingly contested issue in modern organizations following the increased need for organizations to optimize utilization of the available resources and avoiding competitive threats. Organizations should have privacy mechanisms in place to safeguard the organization from possible adverse outcomes (Parks, Xu, Chu, & Lowry, 2017).As a HR manager, Mary is obligated to institute the policy detailing the best practices that creates certainty and security oforganizational resources and information.The employees could be motivated by a lack of an elaborate workplace privacy policy to access and share unauthorized classified details about the organization, thereby exposing the organization to threats of data breach exposing the confidential information to competitors. ACME company could also face the issue of misappropriation of organizational resources that would attract unnecessary costs. For example, a lack of guidelines related to the use of company phones and the internet can prompt workers to use them to make personal consumption. “The Ethical Challenges Associated with Executive Leadership, Mary, and the…
