...high-risk women who were sedentary and had previous history of preeclampsia. This five-year study investigated the effects of walking or stretching on the incidence of preeclampsia and reports on adherence to the intervention and on the secondary outcomes of changes in resting heart rate (HR), resting blood pressure and weight gain (Yeo, 2009). Statement of the Problem The problem was clearly stated and was a sufficient researchable problem. The researcher does a good job of stating why the problem is important, but there was no mention of the number of people who are affected by preeclampsia and complications of the disease itself. Yeo (2009) identifies the following research question for this study as: 1. Will previously sedentary pregnant women adhere to an exercise program for 40 minutes a day 5 times a week in the latter half of pregnancy (Yeo, 2009)? 2. Is there a difference in adherence to a walking program or a stretching exercise program (Yeo, 2009)? 3. How does adherence to walking or stretching change with the advance of pregnancy (Yeo, 2009)? 4. Which exercise is more effective in reducing the risk of preeclampsia? (Yeo, 2009). The title indicated the target population sampled as sedentary pregnant women. The key dependent variable was well identified and hypothesized to be favorably affected by the intervention, which is walking or stretching exercise program. The type of research design is a randomized clinical trial and...

...1. Introduction Yeo Hiap Seng Limited (YHS), also known as Yeo’s, is a well-established company that is renowned throughout Asia and Oceania, in the UK, USA and Canada (Yeo’s, 2015). It was established by Mr Yeo Keng Lian and his friend in Zhangzhou in the Fujian Province of China in the early 1900’s, and the small business was first known as the Hiap Seng Sauce Factory (Yeo’s, 2015), producing soy sauces as its first products. The company was renamed as Yeo Hiap Seng when Mr Yeo’s friend pulled-out of their business enterprise (Hartono, 2012). As the business grew, Mr Yeo relocated the business to Singapore in 1935 and set up a sauce factory locally. Their soy sauce business became very successful with local consumers and they ventured to offer other food and beverage items, going on to produce healthy, traditional drinks and other Asian delicacies like canned chicken curry for their consumers. In the 1955’s, it was incorporated as a private company when its sales continued to scale greater heights, and in 1969, it became a public-listed company on the Singapore Stocks Exchange. Yeo’s started its first business venture in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1975 and went on to expand to more than 10 countries over a span of 40 years (Yeo’s, 2015). In the mid-1990’s, YHS had also entered into the property business, which made up of almost 13% of the total company earnings (Hartono, 2012). 2. Strategic Analysis 1.1.

...Human Resource Management, 10e Lloyd L. Byars and Leslie W. Rue Johnson & Johnson: Creating a Global Learning Organization To provide current, cost-effective training in the fast-paced global business environment, many companies are turning to e-learning. One study shows that about 35 percent of large companies have implemented learning management systems, and another 45 percent are planning them.1 While the trend is to centralize learning to control quality, costs, and management, Johnson & Johnson launched a successful e-learning system using a different approach. Headquartered on a small campus in New Jersey, Johnson & Johnson is one of the world’s most globalized firms, manufacturing health care and personal care products in 60-plus countries and selling them in virtually every country in the world. Known for its customer-based values, the highly decentralized corporation faces a major challenge managing its more than 230 diverse, independent business units. Central to the Johnson & Johnson culture and a source of competitive advantage is its Credo, a set of values that for 70 years has created the cultural ties that bind the organization. But by design, the Johnson & Johnson family of companies is anything but tied together. Johnson & Johnson, which began to decentralize long before it became fashionable in corporate America, enables each business unit to operate as a separate entity, deciding whom to hire and what products to produce. The organization gains...

...TalkToMeInKorean.com - Free Korean Lesson Notes LEVEL 1 LESSON 17 In the previous lesson, we looked at the basic way of conjugating the verbs in the dictionary form into the present tense form. Do you remember how? ㅗ [o] or ㅏ [a] are followed by 아요 [a-yo]. Verb stems ending with vowels OTHER THAN ㅗ or ㅏ are followed by 어요 [eo-yo]. Verb stem 하 is followed by 여요 [yeo-yo]. Verb stems ending with vowels Now it’s time to learn how to change verbs into the past tense. If you understand how to change verbs into the present tense, understanding how to change them into the past tense is just as easy. A similar rule is applied to making past tense sentences, and the endings are: 았어요 [a-sseo-yo] 었어요 [eo-sseo-yo] 였어요 [yeo-sseo-yo] You can add those to the verb stems, or you can think of it as just replacing the “요” at the end of present tense sentences with -ㅆ어요 [ss-eo-yo]. ㅗ [o] or ㅏ [a] are followed by 았어요 [a-sseo-yo]. Verb stems ending with vowels other than ㅗ or ㅏ are followed by 었어요 [eo-sseo-yo]. Verb stem 하 is followed by 였어요 [yeo-sse-yo]. Verb stems ending with vowels Let’s take a look at some examples.

...Inequality and the Sociological Impacts In modern society inequality is an inescapable fact of life; certain social groups are better positioned than others to take advantage of the opportunities, wealth and power of a society. When Australian society is examined it becomes obvious that indigenous people as a social group are faced with a decided disadvantage when it comes to opportunities, wealth and power. This essay intends to focus on the over-representation of indigenous people in the criminal justice system from a sociological viewpoint. This over-representation becomes sociologically significant when it is seen as an expression of inequality meaning that wider social issues are at play that effect indigenous people specifically. The two major reasons or drivers of this over-representation stem from this inequality; the first is an element of institutional discrimination found in both the courts and the police services in Australia which tend to target indigenous people disproportionately with the facilitation of legislation and practices which indigenous people have little to no involvement in formulating. The second is a set of cultural and social norms that exist amongst indigenous people which clash with the norms of the dominant white culture who are responsible for the laws and regulations that all groups in society are meant to abide by. Furthermore social conflict theories on crime such as those formulated by Turk and Sellin provide a rich theoretical support...

...Outline future options for Melbourne’s water resource Abstract Melbourne’s water reserves in the past 10 years have been exhausted; meanwhile climate change predictions indicate the pressure of water lack will be increasingly serious (Howe et.al 2005). This problem is not just for Melbourne, Australia and many other parts of the world also face to the water shortage problem. Since there is a grave water shortage in Melbourne, the policy of sustainable water management is becoming very important. In order to prevent further deterioration of water shortage in the future, the Victorian Government made a series of countermeasures. There are several projects to solve the scarcity of water problem in the future and work out Melbourne’s future water supply needs, such as water restriction in Melbourne; spending nearly 2 billion dollars to build one of the world’s biggest water desalination plants at South Melbourne; building catchment to collect and feed rain into eight of Melbourne’s reservoirs and protecting the water catchment area; establishing two large sewage treatment plants in east and west Melbourne. The other countries also did a lot to protect water resource such as Singapore used nearly half of the national area to build water reservoir; Moscow had developed high technology for Sewage treatment system. The Victorian Government dedicated in long-term water management to protect water security and in responding to Victoria's...

(para.3) For instance, in many organizational departments such as finance, human resource, and management, internal information software systems devices have become more efficient, which have changed some of the roles and duties within these organizational departments. Financial Department expectations The financial department in any organization is responsible for sustaining the financial success of a business. According to QFinance (2012), “the financial manager’s role, particularly in business, is changing in response to technological advances that have significantly reduced the time it takes to produce financial reports. Financial managers now perform more data analysis to offer senior management ideas on how to maximize profits.” (p.1) Human Resource functions Human resources, or in business terminology “HR,” is responsible for implementing an organization internal and external interests, ethics, policies, and procedures.

...HUMA 215: Quiz 7 Name: Jessica Grice Gladiator With movies like the gladiator it’s hard to find out what is it based on fact or fiction. When doing research I found a lot of people say the answer to the question in complex of the events in the film. Truth: The beginning of the movie starts out with a bit of truth. Aurelius was a philosopher and man of peace and he did spend most of his life fighting Germans in one way or another (Ward, Heichelheim, and Yeo 347).Fiction: The depiction of Aurelius children is somewhat false. Aurelius, in the Gladiator, is presented as having only two children. Truth: Aurelius however did not choose to carry on this tradition of senatorial succession. Instead, when it came to succession instead of picking a senator to replace him he picked his son Commodu. Fiction: The movie shows Aurelius wanted to pass down his position to Maximus, who never historically existed. Fiction: In the Gladiator Aurelius, while talking to Maximus, voices his concerns about Commodus taking over the position of emperor. He calls his son an immoral man and says that he should never be allowed to rule Rome. Fiction: There is no historically fact that Aurelius thought this of Commodus: this is quite evident in his gesture of making Commodus his co emperor. Truth: when it came to succession instead of picking a senator to replace him he picked his son Commodus (Ward et al., 351). Truth: Commodus...

...Contemporary Issues for Children and Families “Both the status of children and the role of the family have undergone significant changes over the course of this century”. From Contemporary Issues in the Early Years, Gillian Pugh (ed.) page 71 The concept of childhood and how it’s changed over the past 30 years Back in the Middle Ages, children were seen simply as miniature adults. According to Philippe Aries (1962), children used to wear the same sort of clothes as their parents; they shared adults work and leisure. Children were not assumed to have needs different from adults, nor were they shielded from many aspects of adult life. Many children died soon after birth and it was seen as God’s will and a blessing. The status of the child and the concept of childhood have changed significantly from these times. Melvyn Bragg in 1999 noticed that the meaning and the story of childhood have been changed monumentally. Children join the workforce later, they are born into smaller families, they tend to spend their parents’ money rather than contributing to family coffers and they are handed over to the school for what used to be called the best years of their lives. 30 years ago, something very important took place for children around the world: the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1989. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, ratified by the UK government in 1991, states that a child “means every human being below the age of eighteen years unless, under the...
