The principle of futility I would recommend that Jahi be removed from the life-supporting machine because the help that was being offered at the time did not help. It was apparent that Jahi was going to die despite the efforts that were seen from both the family and the physicians. The coroner had given him a death certificate. The ventilators and life-supporting machines were no longer helpful for the patients. However, the family members insisted that Jahi was not dead and could recover in the soonest of time. The principle of futility refers to all medical interventions that do not achieve the desired outcome. In this context, the intervention measure of taking Jahi to New Jersey for further medical treatment was futile because it did not change anything. In fact, his health condition worsened, leading to his death. The principle of futility argues that all medical decisions should be practical and workable. However, it is ethical to promote consultation between the family and the physicians. Health workers should asses the condition of the patient, explore every possible option that can…

Case Study: Motorola The company will benefit from the new supply chain because it will solve gaps from the traditional supply chain. For example, the new supply chain intends to reduce Motorola’s supply base to a manageable number.  Thousands of suppliers in the traditional supply chain had become challenging to manage. In this case, few and reliable suppliers will be selected, and their operation integrated through the information technology process. The inclusion of technology will enable the effective sharing of information between different suppliers and the company. Further, the new supply chain will increase and stabilize a strong relationship between the suppliers and the company. This will give the company high bargaining power for lower supply prices. The new supply chain will enable the company to receive a high quality of supply. It provides the company with an opportunity to advance the sigma six and pinpoint sources of challenges in the supply chain. By addressing the top six priorities, the new supply chain significantly benefits Motorola Company.  Focusing on execution excellence is an appropriate move. It would create new organizational…

The Use of Literary Elements in the Picture of Dorian Gray The picture of Dorian Gray represents the story of Domain Gray, who is stuck in a phase in his life where the decisions he makes have massive repercussions. In the story,  the author speaks his mind about the society he is living in at the time. Oscar Wilde is not shy about identifying with one of the most controversial ways of living, hedonism. Instead, the author uses the main character to project the image of a young man who is set to achieve everything that he wants in his life. However, his life is mired by bad decisions that come to haunt him in the latter parts. This essay will discuss the elements of literature used by the author to tell the story of Dorian Gray. These elements include satire, aphorism, hedonism, symbolism, irony, themes of good, evil, and morality. The first element of literature used by the author is satire. The first incidence where the author uses satire is when one of the primary characters, Lord Henry Wotton,…

Google’s creators  Larry Page and Sergey Brin Introduction Google’s creators  Larry Page and Sergey Brin have continuously had a fit disrespect for the unbearable. The parting amid the Alphabet Inc.,’s chief commercial – search – and new corporations offer the corporation with the “safe place” to conduct experimentations. This move was also intended to assisting in allaying markets fear by streaming the critical operation and offering the shareholder’s visibility into the processes of the Alphabet’s new venture and the acquisition that had been formulated with time. It has, at the same time, helped the Alphabet. Inc. is proving the investors that it is capable of delivering the essential profits even as it works to explore the existing markets and vital ventures for the future earnings of the business (Rothaermel, 2017). Question 1 The reorganization of the company into multiples that now sits under the new umbrella called Alphabet will operate semi-permanently from google myriad moonshots. This unexpected transformation shows just how the company has grown since its founding. Restructuring itself under the umbrella company has one wonders for Google, the revenue growth…

Sales and Operations Planning As the CEO, I would begin by holding a meeting between all the stakeholders of the company. The meeting would involve employees, customers, shareholders, human resource managers, marketing offices, operation manager and product management, and sales department. The objective of the meeting would conduct a product review whereby the effect of the new status of the product to supply and demand addressed. It would provide essential information to demand-side professionals. Secondly, I would do demand planning, whereby demand review meetings conducted. It would involve product and brand management team, marketing and sales management team, and other top management officials. In this phase, strategies to increase the demand for the new product as addressed, and the effects of the new product brand in the target market discussed (Anaplan, 2018). Of interest at the demand planning stage is to identify the expected demand shifts either positively or negatively. After demand planning, I will focus on supply planning. Conducting review meetings is essential at this stage. The forecast demand shift is aligned with the supply chain to ensure a…

Microorganisms Microorganisms are an example of organisms on the earth, which are the smallest. Microorganisms may be classified as either prokaryotic cells or even eukaryotic cells, single or multicellular. Prokaryotic microorganisms are categorized into either bacteria or archaea. These prokaryotic cells lack the nucleus as the extra material which is supposed to hold the DNA of the cells. These make them smaller than any other cell. These cells are classified as single. Also, there are Eukaryotic microorganisms. These microorganisms’ cells are larger than those of the prokaryotic cells. These cells are seen to have a well-packed nucleus. It has structures that make these cells to be self-sufficient. Some of the examples of this type of microorganisms are fungi, algae, and many more. Also, viruses are other examples of organisms. Infections are seen to be smaller than the prokaryotic cells. These microorganisms consist of a little material that is covered with a protein capsule. Viruses are seen and known not to reproduce on their own, as many microorganisms do. They rely on an injection from the host so that they can…

Poor farmers in developing nations Poor farmers in developing nations do make up a larger percentage of the population. But the difficulties that they face when in their attempt to make a living as well as grow food for the population are indicated by the food insecurity situation that developing nations face. Since the development of agriculture as well as the domestication of animals, the major push has been to increase agricultural production in order to correspond to the increase in population. There are several problems that poor farmers face in developing nations. The small nature of the land that is available for farming becomes a problem for farmers in developing nations. This only allows them to practice subsistence farming that does not see them plant enough crops for commercial purposes. With this the vicious cycle of poverty replays itself. Another problem that poor farmers face in developing nations happens to be that of logistics as well as crop prices. Many poor farmers face the difficulties of getting their produce to the market within the right time owing to poor…

Random forest Classification and regression are a significant part of machine learning. In different businesses, such as predicting if a particular customer will purchase a commodity, or predicting if an appropriate credit will default, such ability to accurately distinguish observations is extremely valuable (Pal, 2005). Data science offers a variety of algorithms such as logistic regression, naive Bayes classification model, and logistic regression. Nevertheless, the random forest classification is near the top of the hierarchy. As its name suggests, random forest comprises of multiple decision trees that work together. The individual trees record a class prediction in the random forest, and the model prediction becomes the class with the most votes (Pal, 2005). A simple but powerful idea behind a random forest is the intelligence of the crowds. The explanation of why the random forest model performs so well in data science is: Some uncorrelated (trees) models working as a group outperform each of the other models. The key in a random forest is the low association model. Just as an investment with low correlations shapes an overall portfolio, unrelated…

The need for international diversification             International diversification refers to an attempt by portfolio managers to reduce risks by investing in financial instruments in more than one country. By diversifying across countries whose economic cycles are not correlated perfectly, fund managers can effectively reduce the risk exposure of their investors by varying the levels of their returns (Hodrick, & Zhang, 2014). According to Capar and  Kotabe (2003), among the many benefits of globalization of investments is the improvement in the efficiency of global capital allocation and improved ability to diversify investment portfolios.   The flow of capital between nations moves marginal rates of return in various locations close together and in the process offering domestic and international investors better returns. Fund managers must, therefore, use an appropriate mix of international portfolios to design an efficient frontier portfolio. Markowitz’s efficient frontier is one of the essential methodologies of creating a diversified portfolio.  An ideal collection is one that conforms to the cutting-edge hypothesis.   This hypothesis allows speculators to continuously attempt to reduce risks while also making efforts to optimize returns.  The hypothesis,…
