Incredibly, physiotherapy’s roots can be traced back to the “father of modern medicine”, the Greek physician, Hippocrates – to about the date of 460 BC (Das). Around the same time period, another Greek physician, Hector, used hydrotherapy, or water treatment to improve his patient’s health (Das).

These failures have very important costs: they cost management time, resources, and even personnel, as any failure to meet project goals changes the timeline for the ...

In his opinion, Plato believes that, ...

Supply and demand is the examination of market forces that determine the potential profitability of an item. However, the extent to which these factors work together is somewhat of an exact science, with a variety of things entering into the question. Marginal analysis requires an economist to make decisions ‘at the margin,’ determining just how the next dollar or hour should be spent. A marginal analysis of supply and demand, then, would help to determine supply and demand curves in a way that figures out how much they cost.

The market demand curve showcases how many goods would be purchased at a ...
