... Environmental factors The environment can be a barrier to effective communication. Environmental factors such as the setting, seating arrangements and time can affect the way a person communicates and interacts. However in health and social care there are ways that can solve these factors so that every individual feels that they are confident enough to communicate and interact with health and social care professionals. Many problems can occur with the environment in a health and social care setting that can prevent people from communicating. The physical environment can have an impact on communication in different ways. www.collinseducation.com (assessed on 16/11/14) All health and social care settings can improve the effectiveness of communication in many ways. For example the changes that can be made to the physical environment in a health and social care setting is that poor lighting can be replaced by brighter light so that everyone can see and which will make it easier for people with poor vision to look around the setting. Another change could be putting suitable signs around the setting and posters which are in different languages so that every individual can read information that may be useful to them. The changes that could be put in place for people with hearing difficulties are fitting electronic devices such as induction loop systems and having sound proofing rooms so that background noise can be reduced. Health and social care professionals can provide the best...

...CHAPTER 15 Problem 1 Willow Brook National Bank operates a drive-up teller window that allows customers to complete bank transactions without getting out of their cars. On weekday mornings, arrivals to the drive-up teller window occur at random, with an arrival rate of 24 customers per hour or 0.4 customers per minute. a) What is the mean or expected number of customers that will arrive in a five-minute period? The expected number is of 0.4*5 = 2 customer is a five-minute period. b) Assume that the Poisson probability distribution can be used to describe the arrival process. Use the arrival rate in part (a) and compute the probabilities that exactly 0, 1, 2, and 3 customers will arrive during a five-minute period. The probabilities of the described scenarios are as follows: P0=20e-20! P0=0.135335283 P1=21e-21! P1=0.270670566 P2=22e-22! P2=0.270670566 P3=23e-23! P3=0.180447044 c) Delays are expected if more than three customers arrive during any five-minute period. What is the probability that delays will occur? This probability can be expressed as the probability of more than 3 customers arriving during the five-minute period, which can be computed as following: P(x > 3) = 1 – P(x ≤ 3) P (x > 3) = 1 – 0.85712346 P(x > 3) = 0.14287654 Thus, there is a 14, 29% probability of expected delays in five-minute period. Problem 3 Use the single-server drive-up bank teller operation referred to in Problems 1 and 2 to determine the following...

...SECTION B Answer ALL Questions in this sections in the spaces provided. Be brief and precise. Question 1: Refer to Figure 6 below Figure 6 [pic] a. Equilibrium price and quantity before trade would be ▪ Price = $14; ▪ Quantity = 600 b. The price and domestic quantity demanded after trade would be ▪ Price = $ 18; ▪ Domestic quantity demanded = 400 c. After trade domestic production would be ▪ Domestic production = 800 d. How much of this product would be exported after trade ▪ Amount exported = 800 - 400 = 400 e. Calculate the consumer surplus before trade ▪ CS before trade = (26-14)*600*0.5 = 3600 f. Calculate the consumer surplus after trade ▪ CS after trade = (26-18)*400*0.5 = 1600 g. Calculate the producer surplus before trade ▪ PS before trade = (14-3)*600*0.5 = 3300 h. Calculate the producer surplus after trade ▪ PS after trade = (18-3)*800*0.5 = 6000 i. Calculate the net effect of trade on total surplus ▪ Net effect of trade = change in PS - change in CS = (2700- 2000) = 700 Note: An alternative and correct way to compute this is to calculate the area of the triangle showing the gain in surplus. This area is (18-14)*400*0.5 = 800. This is different from 700 because of a slight mislabeling of the diagram. Therefore award the full points for this answer as...

...process may need much iteration through the "feedback loop" before it finishes. When kernel does a context switch and restores the context of a process. The process resumes execution from the point where it had been suspended.Each process table entry contains a priority field. There is a process table for each process which contains a priority field for process scheduling. The priority of a process is lower if they have recently used the CPU and vice versa.The more CPU time a process accumulates, the lower (more positive) its priority becomes, and vice versa, so there is negative feedback in CPU scheduling and it is difficult for a single process to take all the CPU time. Process aging is employed to prevent starvation.Older UNIX systems used a 1-second quantum for the round- robin scheduling. 4.33SD reschedules processes every 0.1 second and recomputed priorities every second. The round-robin scheduling is accomplished by the -time-out mechanism, which tells the clock interrupt driver to call a kernel subroutine after a specified interval; the subroutine to be called in this case causes the rescheduling and then resubmits a time-out to call itself again. The priority recomputation is also timed by a subroutine that resubmits a time-out for itself event. The kernel primitive used for this purpose is called sleep (not to be confused with the...

...Unit 1 - Exploring Business Activity Assignment 2 Scenario Following on from your report for Heronsgate Construction you have been asked to undertake some freelance work for Hillingdon Borough Council. The council are looking at saving costs and want to restructure their organisation so they are more like a business. They have asked you to provide some details of the way in which organisations are structured including the functional areas. This presentation will be used as part of a ‘business week’ being run by the borough. Task 1 As you have already done some research on two organisations you should continue using these for this presentation. However for the NHS you only need to create an organisational structure for a Doctors surgery. This will mean the organisations are contrasting and their structures are varied. Hillingdon Borough Council need the presentation to cover: • A brief introduction into the organisations. • The different ways in which these two businesses are structured. • The different types of functional areas within each business and their activities Due to the nature of the organisations they will have vastly contrasting functional areas. You need to describe the functional areas in each organisation. Make sure you clearly describe what each functional area does. You should aim to include all those which we have covered in this unit. Illustrate these using organisation charts together with accompanying notes to describe their operations. In your presentation...
