Abstract
Managing occupational health is an essential part of managing a workforce, and on a larger scale, an entire organization. A healthy workforce may well lead to a productive one and hence a more profitable venture. An unhealthy workforce on the other hand would most likely lead to an unproductive and thus an unprofitable one. Occupational Health Surveillance is one of the direct interventions in keeping a healthy and productive workforce. The objective of this ...

In deterrence theory it is believed that people weigh the gains and consequences of violating or obeying the law. We have two classifications of deterrence theory: general and specific deterrence theory.
General deterrence prevents general population crime. This is because one is punished as an example to the rest. This is because one has not yet performed the crime; the punishment is to show the horror of what would happen if they committed the crime, thus deterring them from even the thought whereas the pictorial representation of the horror of reccurpesion is very fresh and clear. For example ...

Introduction

For many years, financial crises have been pervasive. According to Collardi (2012), the frequency of occurrence of financial crises in the recent decades has doubled the occurrence during the Bretton Woods Period and the Gold Standard Era.

Initially, the crisis was seen as difficulties that were being experienced in the United States subprime mortgage market. This, however, spilled rapidly to the financial markets before spilling over to the real economy. This paper discusses the causes of the financial crisis and the measures that ...

In a system where all should by right be judged not by anything other than the acts they’ve committed, the idea that any injustice exists based upon discrimination is abhorrent to the concept of justice. No matter that it should not happen, the many opinions and facts that it does indeed occur have come to light through past generations in order to better shine a light upon the inequities of a system that has for too long leaned in a particular direction. There is no justice for those who are forced not only to pay for their true ...

Good health, although frequently emphasised upon, is not given as much importance as it should be. We have been hearing the phrase “health is wealth” since school days. Somewhere along the way we forget about this and start to attract negative health behaviours. These negative health behaviours can lead to various illnesses, diseases and can sometimes even be fatal. These behaviours need to be reflected upon and revised for our own good. Activities that we take up become habit in time and these then become a part of our behaviour itself. Positive habits like exercising and following a healthy diet should ...

The rational choice theory is one of the theories of criminology, which seeks to explain the causes and motivation that lead to criminal behavior. The theory is premised on the assumption that a criminal is a rational individual, who will make choices that are beneficial to him under the circumstances. It argues that a criminal will make a cost-benefit analysis before engaging in criminal behavior. If the benefits outweigh the cost, then he will engage in them, and vice versa. This brief report will canvas some of the features that are critical in the theory.

Effect

Choices have consequences. When a person chooses to engage ...

I was attending my routine antenatal clinic at St Mary Community Centre. The clinic had been fully booked and I was already running behind schedule.

I quickly took her inside the clinic room to conduct a further assessment. The midwife I was working with started by telling the woman that we had no time ...

The judges usually use some guidelines in sentencing the criminal in court. This ensures that similar standards are followed by each judge to ensure fairness in sentencing. This research paper will evaluate the variables that the judges consider when issuing a sentence to the criminals.
History record of the criminal is an important variable that the judges consider in making their decisions. If the records show that the person has been involved in other crimes in earlier times, then the severity of the judgment may be higher (Hartman, 186). On the other hand, id the criminal record of an ...
