The Fallacy of Microfinance Microfinance has been billed by many as a solution to the persistent problem of poverty. This is as result of the fact that it has been hailed to create and expand micro-enterprises and in the process improving the socio-economic situations of those that own the micro-enterprises, who generally tend to be women. However, according to Banerjee, Duflo, Glennerster, & Kinnan (2014), microfinance does not necessarily lead to people rising out of poverty. The argument held by Banerjee, Duflo, Glennerster, & Kinnan (2014) gives credence to the apprehensions some have had about the romanticized stories on microfinance. I ...

Food-borne Illness

Food is the basic necessity of every human being. It has evolved into many forms, making it easier for people and animals to consume them. However, there are still circumstances wherein food can cause not only harm to people, but also deaths. One way by which this can occur, is through food-borne illnesses and diseases. Food-borne illness, or more commonly known as food poisoning, is an illness that is caused by consuming food that are contaminated with bacteria and chemicals (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).

Food-borne Disease Outbreaks

Introduction

I have often thought critical thinking is simply my opinion, or generating ideas and opinion through mental exercise, i.e. I can do critical thinking without external help or interaction. Yet, it is so different, because as I searched the literature and in studying in this course, I found that critical thinking involves the individual’s ability to use the mind actively to sense the surrounding environment and realize opportunities and potential hazards by generating innovative ideas (Ruggiero, 2009 as cited in Bruning, 2016). Critical thinking needs knowledge, and knowledge is learned and experienced. Precisely, critical thinking is borne out ...

Complications of Removable Implant Supported Prostheses

Introduction The two main complications that result from removable implants are biological and mechanical/technical complications. There is need to assess and interpret data on the incidence of complications, both biological and technical with caution. Berglundh, Persson, and Klinge (2002), found that implant loss was the most common problem, while technical complications were observable in about 60-80% and biological complications – 40-60% of the studies they evaluated. According to Sadowsky (2007), there are no specifications on the length, distribution, and number of implants; however the suggestion for non-palatal coverage designs should be a minimum of 4 implants. In case of risk ...

Food is a basic commodity needed to sustain life and as such, it must be safe to eat. Despite the innumerable controversies that abound regarding the ingredients and additives in our food and sage advice from many professional sources and health gurus arguing to the contrary, this paper will support the thesis that, for most people, our food supply is safe. While accepting that prepared foods may contain additives and preservatives, these are necessary to allow manufacturers to bring food safely into our homes. Preservatives and additives are necessary to ensure that our food supply is safe, but ultimately ...

1) Population growth and overpopulation is one of the major problems of every developing country. The factors that influence population growth are: a) Women getting married at early ages lead to a high birth rate. b) Provision of health benefits to children, women and the elderly have contributed to decreased mortality rate, and thus increased birth rate. c) Lack of family planning contributes to increased birth greatly. According to census, The United States population as on June 11, 2016 is 323,747,258 with one birth in every eight seconds, one death in every seconds and one international migrant ...

Introduction

Ideally, if the government left the markets to themselves, there should be a form of market efficiency, only that there is not. Government interventions and rules affect supply and demand of products, so when there are subsidies and quotas, the equilibrium price goes down or up, affecting the quantity of products in the market. On a free market situation, externalities and public goods disrupt the market efficiency, causing market failures. Externalities can be defined as those costs or benefits that are not entirely borne by the market (Library Economics Liberty, 2002). Public goods are services and goods designed for ...

Introduction

Improper handling of food products and lack of proper personal hygiene by food handlers are some of the leading factors that cause outbreaks of food borne diseases. Essentially, microbes’ attack, which is responsible for the highest number of food borne illnesses, gets transmitted when the food handlers fail to clean their hand (Michaels, 2001). As a result, gloves have become an integral part of the culinary industry. In fact, according to food safety regulation, wearing gloves has been termed as a mandatory requirement in both food preparation and food handling services (Farquhar & Tassin, 2016). Gloves for use by food ...

Introduction

Can we prove that there is no clear scientific argument in favor of their life and activity? Such questions immediately arise among readers, of course, they are quite natural. And yet, I will try to show that the statement of the problem in our time of exclusively rapid scientific and technical progress is quite logic. Moreover, most recently the first steps towards the solution of this great problem facing mankind were taken. Basically, from the scientific point of view ...

Abstract

The One-Minute Manager, when it was released, presented the world with a hypothetical blueprint for engaging employees appropriately and effectively. Not all effective managers have to behave in the way that the hypothetical effective manager from the text does; however, the authors do note that most effective managers display many of these key features in their day-to-day experience with their employees. There have been scores of texts written about what makes an effective manager, and not all these texts agree; however, this particular book has been wildly successful since it was written; it closely examines the features of a ...

The quality of the environment determines the human well-being and health. Some of the detrimental health effects are linked to environmental degradation like water, noise and air pollution which have adverse health effects. Air pollution through exposure to contaminants in the air has led to increasing environmental-related respiratory illness, lung cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Besides that, human and industrialization activities have resulted in depletion of resources and climatic changes like rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns have seen the rise in incidences such as dengue fever, heat stress, heart diseases due to aggravated heat among others. Water pollution on ...

In general, Kenya is a dry country; about four-fifths of the land is considered arid or semi-arid. The land considered useful for agriculture only occupies about 17 percent of the nation’s area; throughout the country, average yearly rainfall ranges from 200 mm (in the north) to over 1,800 mm on the sides of Mt. Kenya (The Encyclopedia of Earth, 2008). Ironically, the economy of the country centers around the agricultural part of the country; agricultural products bring in about 30 percent of the nation’s income.
