The Department for International Trade helps UK businesses export, especially in the defense, security, and cybersecurity sectors. It works with these industries and other government departments to promote UK capabilities abroad, build relationships with overseas buyers, and support key export opportunities. The DIT also led a strategy exercise with industry to define how the UK government will support the security sector in exporting from 2019-2024. This new strategy focuses on using all of the UK government's capabilities to help companies export in a collaborative way.

Globalization has increased the challenges of international business for governments, organizations, and institutions. International management is becoming more important in academia due to this. International business involves commercial transactions between parties in two or more countries, including imports and exports of goods, services, technology, and capital. Globalization extends relationships and interdependencies among nations through international business. Firms engage in international business to expand sales into new markets, access resources like labor and materials in other countries, and minimize risks through diversification.

International business involves focusing global resources and opportunities to produce, buy, sell, or exchange goods and services worldwide. There are five stages of internationalization for companies: domestic, international, multinational, global, and transnational. As companies progress through these stages, their approach shifts from ethnocentric to polycentric to geocentric. International business environments are complex with many political, economic, socio-cultural, technological, legal, and natural factors that companies must consider when operating globally. Globalization has increased integration between world economies through liberalized trade, investment, and technological changes.

- International marketing is concerned with planning and conducting transactions across international borders to satisfy objectives of individuals and organizations. It faces challenges like environmental adaptation, ethnocentrism, and cultural differences. - Developing global awareness through cultural understanding and diverse leadership helps address issues like reluctance to foreign investment in some countries. - Companies progress through stages of international marketing involvement from no foreign activity to global operations. Their strategic orientation also evolves from domestic to globally integrated. Successful international marketers require cross-disciplinary skills.

This document provides information about an international business exam from Mumbai University in 2008. It includes sample exam questions and answers about topics like globalization, reasons for entering international business, and foreign exchange risks and trade barriers.

Long associated with affluent Western standards of living, NCDs are now a global problem. While rich countries are better equipped to deal with chronic diseases, they are far more deadly in poor countries. Growing numbers of old people and the spread of middle-class lifestyles make NCDs more prevalent than infectious diseases. Globalization also contributes to the growth of NCDs by helping expand the global middle class and by promoting fast foods, sugary drinks, alcohol, smoking, processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles. A major global health threat that undermines efforts to cure diseases is the emergence of germs that are resistant to antibiotics. This is due mainly to the excessive use of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture. Infectious diseases are intertwined with numerous global issues and are inseparable from political, economic, and cultural components of globalization. Ethnic conflicts make populations vulnerable to infectious diseases. Fighting contributes to the collapse of public services, which means that many people die from what would ordinarily be treatable diseases, such as diarrhea and respiratory infections. Conflicts also create refugees, overcrowding, and unsanitary conditions, thereby creating environments conducive to the spread of infectious diseases. Environmental degradation and deforestation expose humans to a variety of infectious diseases. They also contribute to global warming and flooding,.

Scapegoating is a theory of prejudice and discrimination. Society looks at the weakest group, and places blame on that group for all ills. That group then becomes the bottom level of society. We've seen this over the past 18 months. Illegal immigrants have been blamed for many issues, in particular crime and unemployment rates. Yet, I know few in my own area who will do the jobs these folks do every day. As for crime, please see the link below for a journal article that addresses this issue. Most crimes committed by immigrants without papers are misdemeanors.  What are your  thoughts? .

The busi­ nessmen believe that they are defending free enterprise when they declaim that business is not concerned “merely” with profit but also with promoting desirable “social” ends; that business has a “social conscience” and takes seriously its responsibilities for provid ing employment, eliminating discrimina­ tion, avoiding pollution and whatever else may be the catchwords of the contemporary crop of reformers. In fact they are—or would be if they or anyone else took them seriously—preaching pure and unadulter­ ated socialism. Businessmen who talk this way are unwitting puppets of the intellectual forces that have been undermining the basis of a free society these past decades. The discussions of the “social responsibil­ ities of business” are notable for their analyt­ ical looseness and lack of rigor. What does it mean to say that “business” has responsibili­ ties? Only people can have responsibilities. A corporation is an artificial person and in this sense may have artificial responsibili­ ties, but “business” as a whole cannot be said to have responsibilities, even in this vague sense. The first step toward clarity in ex­ amining the doctrine of the social responsi­ bility of business is to ask precisely what it implies for whom. Presumably, the individuals who are to be responsible are businessmen, which means individual proprietors or corporate execu­ tives. Most of the discussion of social respon­ sibility is directed at corporations, so in what follows I shall mostly neglect the individual proprietors and speak of corporate execu­ tives. In a free-enterprise, private-property sys­ tem, a corporate executive is an employee of the owners of the business. He has direct re­ sponsibility to his employers. That responsi­ bility is to conduct the business in accord­ ance with their desires, which generally will be to make as much money as possible while conforming to the basic rules of the society, both those embodied in law and those em­ bodied in ethical custom. Of course, in some cases his employers may have a different ob­ jective. A group of persons might establish a corporation for an eleemosynary purpose— for example, a hospital or a school. The manager of such a corporation will not have money profit as his objectives but the ren­ dering of certain services. In either case,.

Scanned with CamScanner Application Assignment 2: Part 2 - Developing an Advocacy Campaign The following application, Part 2, will be due in Week 7. To prepare: · Review Chapter 3 of Health policy and politics: A nurse’s guide. · In the first assignment, you reflected on whether the policy you would like to promote could best be achieved through the development of new legislation, or a change in an existing law or regulation. Refine as necessary using any feedback from your first paper. · Contemplate how existing laws or regulations may affect how you proceed in advocating for your proposed policy. · Consider how you could influence legislators or other policymakers to enact the policy you propose. · Think about the obstacles of the legislative process that may prevent your proposed policy from being implemented as intended. · To complete: Part Two will have approximately 3–4 pages of content plus a title page and references. Part Two will address the following: · Explain whether your proposed policy could be enacted through a modification of existing law or regulation or the creation of new legislation/regulation. · Explain how existing laws or regulations could affect your advocacy efforts. Be sure to cite and reference the laws and regulations using primary sources. · Provide an analysis of the methods you could use to influence legislators or other policymakers to support your policy. In particular, explain how you would use the “three legs” of lobbying in your advocacy efforts. · Summarize obstacles that could arise in the legislative process and how to overcome these hurdles. Milstead: 3 Legs of Lobbying “According to Milstead (2013), Leg One of the Three-Legged Stool consists of lobbying which is the act of influencing – the art of persuading-a government entity. “Legislators often rely on lobbyists’ expertise to help them understand what they are voting for or against.” (Milstead, 2013, p. 53). Local State Representatives should be targeted as a champion for the bill and that’s likely where an average voter can begin for their voice to be heard at the local and state levels.Leg Two of the Three-Legged Stool also includes the grassroots lobbyists. The AmericanNurses Association often spear-heads lobbying efforts in the best interest of the public on healthcare related issues and has a strong history of working with Congress on these important issues. “Grassroots lobbyists are constituents who have the power to elect officials through their vote and have expertise and knowledge about a particular issue (such as nurses in healthcare reform debates)” (Milstead, 2013, p. 54). Nurses can become a member of the American Nurses Association or other associations to ensure nurses have a voice on these important issues” Reflection Associate Professor Michael Segon Director MBA 1 Reflection Reflection is used as a learning tool to make sense of what we have experienced and how we can optimise our learning from that experience. .

Scanned by CamScanner Scanned by CamScanner Chapter 13:The Bureaucracy ADA Text Version Learning Objectives 1. Describe the formal organization of the federal bureaucracy. 2. Classify the vital functions performed by the bureaucracy. 3. Explain the present Civil Service system and contrast it with the 19th century spoils system. 4. Identify the various factors contributing to bureaucracy's growth over time. 5. Compare the means by which Congress and the president attempt to maintain control over the bureaucracy. 6. Analyze and evaluate the problems that bureaucratic organization poses for American democracy. Introduction The very word "bureaucracy" often carries negative connotations. To refer to an institution as a "bureaucracy" or characterize it as "bureaucratic" is usually intended as an insult. But the national bureaucracy, sometimes called the "fourth branch of government", is responsible for practically all of the day-to-day work of governing the country. While bureaucracy in the United States, consistent with our tradition of more limited government, is smaller than its counterparts in other longstanding democracies, its influence extends to almost every corner of American society. From delivery of the mail to regulation of the stock market to national defense, federal employees plan, regulate, adjudicate, enforce, and implement federal law. Despite recurrent calls to "shrink" the size of government, the federal bureaucracy remains the largest single employer in the United States. This lesson examines the bureaucracy's formal organization, its critical role in the American economy and society, and its perceived weaknesses. Study Questions 1. How did sociologist Max Weber define bureaucracy? 2. Identify the various functions federal bureaucracies perform giving at least one example each: a. Implementation b. Regulation c. Adjudication d. Enforcement e. Policy-making 3. How many people does the federal government employ? For what percentage of GDP does federal spending account? How does this compare to other economically advanced democracies? 4. Classify and distinguish the major types of bureaucracy in the federal government: a. Cabinet Departments b. Independent Agencies c. Independent Regulatory Commissions d. Government Corporations 5. How does the federal bureaucracy select and recruit personnel? Contrast the present civil service system with the spoils system. What advantages does the present system provide? 6. What factors explain the growth of bureaucracy over time despite recurrent calls for limiting the size of government? 7. Identify those factors in the budget process making it difficult to cut bureaucratic funding. 8. Describe the way Congress authorizes funding for the federal bureaucracy. 9. How does Congress attempt to control the federal bureaucracy? 10. How does the president attempt to control the federal bureaucracy? 11. What special problems does bureaucratic independence present in a democracy? Discuss with re.

Scanned by CamScanner Scanned by CamScanner TABLE 2.2 Connecting Knowledge of Development and Learning to Teaching Practices Principles of Child Development and Learning Developmentally Appropriate Teaching Practices Children develop holistically • Teachers plan daily activities and routines to address aesthetic, emotional, cognitive, language, physical, and social development. • Teachers integrate learning across the curriculum (e.g., mixing language, physical, and social; combining math, science, and reading). Child development follows an orderly sequence • Teachers use their knowledge of developmental sequences to gauge whether children are developing as expected, to determine reasonable expectations, and to plan next steps in the learning process. Children develop at varying rates • Teachers give children opportunities to pursue activities at their own pace. • Teachers repeat activities more than once so children can participate according to changing needs and abilities. • Teachers plan activities with multiple learning objectives to address the needs of more and less advanced learners. Children learn best when they feel safe and secure • Teachers develop nurturing relationships with children and remain with children long enough so children can easily identify a specific adult from whom to seek help, comfort, attention, and guidance. • Daily routines are predictable. Changes in routine are explained in advance so children can anticipate what will happen. • There is two-way communication between teachers and families, and families are welcome in the program. • Children have access to images, objects, and activities that reflect their home experiences. • The early childhood environment complies with all safety requirements. • Adults use positive discipline to enhance children’s self-esteem, self-control, and problem-solving abilities. • Teachers address aggression and bullying calmly, firmly, and proactively. Children are active learners • Activities, transitions, and routines respect children’s attention span, need for activity and need for social interaction. Inactive segments of the day are short. • Children participate in gross motor activities every day. Children learn through a combination of physical experience, social experience, and reflection • Adults encourage children to explore and investigate. They pose questions, offer information, and challenge children’s thinking. • Children have many chances to document and reflect on their ideas. Children learn through mastery and challenge • Practitioners simplify, maintain, or extend activities in response to children’s functioning and comprehension. Children’s learning profiles vary • Teachers present the same information in more than one modality (seeing, hearing, touching) and through different types of activities. • Children have opportunities to play on their own and with others; indoors and outdoors; with natural and manufactured materials.

Sandro Reyes 1 5 Human Impact on the Environment Every day, I see the harmful impacts of humans on the environment. Just 13 percent of the globe’s oceans remain unsoiled by humanity’s damaging impacts (Carrington, 2018). In the remotest poles and Pacific areas, most of the ocean has no natural marine wildlife. Pollution, huge fishing fleets, and global shipping along with climate change are all degrading the oceans. The vehicles we drive every day, industrial wastes, overpopulation, and fossil fuels, all have negative effects on the environment. Human activities are negatively affecting the environment by degrading it and sooner or later, the earth will not be able to sustain humans. Overpopulation is now an epidemic with decreased mortality rates, improved medicine, and food sustainability. We are living longer, which is increasing population. The impact of overpopulation includes environmental degradation due to cutting down of trees to create space. With less trees to filter the air, an increase in carbon dioxide levels is damaging every single organism (Interesting Engineering, 2019). Another effect of overpopulation is overdependence on fossil fuels such as coal and oil, which emit plentiful carbon oxide into the air. With increased population, humans need more space, which damage ecosystems and augment carbon dioxide emissions. Pollution is another impact of human activities on the environment. From trash, industrial wastes to carbon dioxide emissions into the air, pollutions is inevitable. Over 2.4 billion individuals have no access to sources of clean water. Human activities continue to deplete indispensable resources such as soil, water, and air. United States, for example, produces 147 million metric tons of air pollution annually (Interesting Engineering, 2019). Air quality in developing nations continues to plummet as well. This means that we are engaging in activities that are hurting the environment. Global warming is one of the greatest causes of environmental degradation contributed by human activities. Some people do not believe that global warming is real. However, that is not true, and its major contributors include carbon dioxide emissions from respiration, deforestation, and burning fossil fuels. Each year, we continue to contribute to levels of carbon dioxide globally. Current levels exceed 400 PPM, and the rise in carbon dioxide emissions are attributed to an increase in global temperatures (Interesting Engineering, 2019). The result is the melting of arctic glaciers and land ice, which will increase sea levels, and have negative effects on oceanic life. Climate change is another impact on the environment that is being caused by us. It is linked .

Scanned with CamScanner Research Summary (paper) For this assignment you summarize one of the experimental research studies from your research collection. (I did not make one, feel free to choose any research that has to do with psychology.) Check out Audris Oh's research summary I put in the files -- it's a great model. Write your summary in 5 pages or so, basically summarizing each of the major sections - literature review, methods section, results section and discussion. Let the abstract at the beginning of the paper guide you (It's just one paragraph but is a great guide). Why was the study done and how does it fit in with other work in the field (the intro or lit review)? What was the actual experiment (the methods section)? What were the results (the results section)? Why is it important (the discussion section)? Conclude your paper with a personal reaction -- does this fit with what you’ve seen? How might you use any insight the study provides? Include the pdf of the article (or link to it) and the reference to the article in APA style.

Mendel investigated the seg- regation of seven gene characters of pea (Pisum sativum), of which four have been identified. Here, we review what is known about the molecular nature of these genes, which encode enzymes (R and Le), a biochemical regula- tor (I) and a transcription factor (A). The mutations are: a transposon insertion (r), an amino acid insertion (i), a splice variant (a) and a missense mutation (le-1). The nature of the three remaining uncharacterized characters (green versus yellow pods, inflated versus constricted pods, and axial versus terminal flowers) is discussed.

Nature GeNetics  VOLUME 43 | NUMBER 10 | OCTOBER 2011 1 0 3 5 l e t t e r s Brassica nigra (B genome) and B. oleracea (C genome) having formed the amphidiploid species B. juncea (A and B genomes), B. napus (A and C genomes) and B. carinata (B and C genomes) by hybridiza- tion. Comparative physical mapping studies have confirmed genome triplication in a common ancestor of B. oleracea11 and B. rapa12 since its divergence from the A. thaliana lineage at least 13–17 MYA6,7,13. Using 72× coverage of paired short read sequences generated by Illumina GA II technology and stringent assembly parameters, we assembled the genome of the B. rapa ssp. pekinensis line Chiifu-401-42 and analyzed the assembly (Online Methods and Supplementary Note). The final assembly statistics are summarized in Table 1. The assembled sequence of 283.8 Mb was estimated to cover >98% of the gene space (Supplementary Table 1) and is greater than the previous estimated size of the euchromatic space, 220 Mb14. The assembly showed excellent agreement with the previously reported chromosome A03 (ref. 15) and with 647 bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs)14 (Online Methods) sequenced by Sanger technology. Integration with 199,452 BAC-end sequences produced 159 super scaffolds representing 90% of the assem- bled sequences, with an N50 scaffold (N50 scaffold is a weighted median statistic indicating that 50% of the entire assembly is contained in scaf- folds equal to or larger than this value) size of 1.97 Mb. Genetic mapping of 1,427 markers in B. rapa allowed us to produce ten pseudo chromo- somes that included 90% of the assembly (Supplementary Table 2). We found the difference in the physical sizes of the A. thaliana and B. rapa genomes to be largely because of transposable elements (Supplementary Table 3). Although widely dispersed throughout the genome, as shown in Figure 1, the transposon-related sequences were most abundant in the vicinity of the centromeres. We estimated that transposon-related sequences occupy 39.5% of the genome, with the proportions of retrotransposons (with long terminal repeats), DNA transposons and long interspersed elements being 27.1%, 3.2% and 2.8%, respectively (Supplementary Tables 4 and 5). We modeled and analyzed protein coding genes (described in the Online Methods and the Supplementary Note). We identified 41,174 protein coding genes, distributed as shown in Figure 1. The gene models have an average transcript length of 2,015 bp, a coding length of 1,172 bp and a mean of 5.03 exons per gene, both similar to that observed in A. thaliana16. A total of 95.8% of gene models have a match in at least one of the public protein databases and 99.3% are represented among the public EST collections o.
