...UNCLOS Name Institution Affiliation Outline Introduction 3 History & Ratification 3 Effects of Non Ratification 4 Conclusion 5 References 6 Introduction The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea also referred to as (UNCLOS) has been in place for many years after its initial establishment. The UNCLOS convention has been amended overtime since it was established for many years. There are calls to revisit the whole convention as some aspects does not auger well with the current trends in the world. The Law of the Sea has caught the public attention due to certain activities such as fishing and the activities in the Arctic. There are arguments that with the continued shrinking of the polar ice cap, there countries that surround the Arctic Ocean have started positioning themselves to the anticipated biggest geographical brawls in the coming years. History & Ratification During the 17th century, the sea was governed by the concept that was known as the ‘freedoms of the seas. The regulation marked boundaries of the sea that countries should not go beyond in their activities. The distance marked was approximately three nautical miles. During the 20th century, many countries wanted this distance to be extended for economic purpose. The extraction of minerals and fishing were seen as very valuable activities that were boosting the country's wealth. In the year 1930 there was a conference that was held to debate the issues in The Hague but the discussion...

...Configuration is a major implementation task in which business and functional settings in the ERP system are changed to make the “out of the box” software support the customer’s business needs. Configuration does not make any changes to the core software code, but instead updates tables with settings and entries specific to the customer’s business. Called configuration tables, these tables enable a company to tailor a particular aspect of the system to the way it chooses to do business. Project team members can use configuration tools to select alternatives through an easy to use GUI. These selections then behave like switches that tell the software to perform differently based on the values selected. For example, configuration may allow the company to specify: • Whether accounting for inventory should be based on LIFO or FIFO. • Whether the company wants to recognize revenue by geographical unit, product line, or distribution channel (or all three) • How many legal entities are reflected in the system • What the default currency will be. SAP has over 3,000 configuration tables and there are approximately 8,000 configuration decisions to make when implementing it. Navigating through them can be a formidable task. For example, when Dell Computers implemented SAP, the configurations alone took over a year to decide upon. As ERP software vendors attempt to gain market share, they continue to provide configuration options to address and increasing number of system requirements...

To address the need to establish operative concussion management in sports, ten systematic steps and commitments will be discussed (Lovell, Giola 14). Saunders 2 The first step relates to pre-injury knowledge and preparation. This is a basic understanding of the injury, its evaluation and treatment. The second step addresses the pre-season baseline testing. Base Line testing by properly trained professionals should be conducted for neuropsychological function, postural stability/ balance and pre-injury symptoms to serve as comparison with post-injury evaluation. Obtaining baseline symptom reports from parents is recommended for young athletes (Reimann, Guskiewiez 280-297, Giola 14). The third step deals with...

You recommendstarting the Computer Reliability initiative by developing a plan for gathering baseline performancedata on each server. Prepare a report or slide presentation for the IT director that describes the baselinedata you would gather. Answer: Obtaining baseline data is a good starting point for achieving reliability goals. This can be a valuable source of information so that the company has a better way to track growth, prevent problems before they occur, and address problems after they occur. The types of baselines that Alterrain should look at developing include: Overall data about the following server elements: CPU performance Disk performance Memory performance Hardware peripheral performance I/O performance System file caching Number of users Proportion of users that use specific resources Software application performance Network performance at the servers Performance information about slow, average, and peak usage periods Performance information about new software after it is installed Statistics regarding growth in use of the server in terms of increases in users, increases insoftware use and duration of the use, increases in the amount of time users are on the systems The company should consider keeping the baseline information...

...Kristine Beck Assignment Week 1 From 1940 to present, project management has continuously advanced from line managers using a small set of processes that were considered nice to have to the formal assignment of one individual assigned as the project manager that utilized a formal methodology by which to manage the project. Often the term “best practices” is referenced within a defined methodology. Documenting Best Practices: Mature Project Management Processes Best practice refers to the optimal method recognized within a given industry or discipline to achieve a stated goal or objective. These practices are consistently predictable and proven to provide successful results and these practices are dynamic—evolving and maturing over time (Devine, 2013). The Business Dictionary defines a best practice as a, “method or technique that has consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other means, and that is used as a benchmark (Business Dictionary, n.d.).” A more simple definition is that a best practice is a method or technique that has consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other means, and that is used as a benchmark. In addition, a "best" practice can evolve to become better as improvements are discovered. Best practice is considered by some as a business buzzword, used to describe the process of developing and following a standard way of doing things that multiple organizations can use. Organizations that have had constant success have adapted...

...Learning Activities from Chapter 1 Master in health information management Healthcare information leadership Millennia Atlantic University Mariana Viloria 1. Differences between micro and macro perspective of healthcare. MACRO-PERSPECTIVE: Macro perspective is a form of analysis which focuses on the structure of society and provides a way of seeing society as a unified whole. In this macro perspective minimal attention is given to the individual or the subjectivity of actors - the structures of society are thought to be primary and responsible for shaping the individual. MICRO- PERSPECTIVE: A micro perspective focuses on the individual level, while a macro perspective focuses more broadly on society. Ethics is a major concern in the health care field. Health care professionals must ensure that they are benefitting patients and meeting ethical and moral guidelines in the provision of care. There are two types of ethical issues facing the health care community: micro issues and macro issues. Micro issues cover issues that arise on a daily basis, and they involve such factors as technological change and dealing with a diverse population. Macro issues concern the allocation, use, and management of health care resources. Macro issues are of major importance as the amount of resources being consumed by health care continues to rise. At the macro level there is a political issue, allegedly somewhere between 25 and 50 million persons who are "uninsured," by which the...

...1. Prepare opening comments that give the class an overview of project management. To understand what project management is we must first define what a project is. A project is a structured coordinated series of event, which result in a final deliverable. The deliverable in questions can be service oriented or produce a product to be delivered. A defined project will typically have a predetermined start and end date for the tasks within the project and the project itself. Additionally a project will normally be established to complete one goal that multiple tasks associated with it. A project does not have size limitations when it comes to resources, building a playground or building a skyscraper are both considered projects. The limitation of the project is associated with the limitation of the project triangle, cost, scope and time. The actions of managing the previously referenced cost, scope and money are where our overview of project management is provided. Project Management is the framework and process that is followed to meet the overall objectives through the tasks associated with the deliverables. Through the process of Project Management the resources needed to complete the objective is managed through the concept of the project triangle of cost, scope and time. The success of the project is contingent on the how well the project manager manages and balances the project triangle. All project contain the same framework to be completed by the project manager...
