...P2: Explain the potential effects of five different life factors, on the development of an individual. These are the five life factors on the development of an individual Genetic Biological Environmental Socioeconomic Lifestyle 1: Genetic – Psoriasis. My mother inherited Psoriasis from her mother. What is Psoriasis? Psoriasis is a common skin problem affecting about 2% of the population. It occurs equally in men and women, at any age, and tends to come and go unpredictably. It is not infectious, and does not scar the skin. There is more likely to be a family history of psoriasis in people who get it when they are young than in those who develop it when they are old. A child with one parent with psoriasis has roughly a 1 in 4 chance of developing psoriasis too. If one of a pair of twins has psoriasis, the other twin has a 70% chance of having it too if the twins are identical, but only a 20% chance if the twins are not identical.ihiu8ggoyf Treatments fall into three categories: topical – creams and ointments that are applied to your skin phototherapy – your skin is exposed to certain types of ultraviolet light systemic – oral and injected medications that work throughout the entire body My mother finds it difficult to wear short sleeve tops as she doesn’t like the way that her skin appears.

...out here that effective decision-making at the firms’ level calls for a careful analysis of a choice between alternative courses of action. Economic theory offers a variety of concepts and analytical tools which can be of considerable assistance to the manager in his decision-making process. In fact actual problem-solving may require many skills and tools which are not available in the traditional economist’s. For example, knowledge of accounting and of statistical concepts and methods, which are not taught in economics, can help the analyses to apply more effectively the economic tools in a concrete situation. The problems of industrial management do not neatly fall into one academic discipline or another. Rather they tend to out across different disciplines. Managerial economics is pragmatic, it is concerned with analytical tools that are useful, that have proven themselves in practice, or that promise to improve decision – making in the future.
