Introduction

Bank typology has grown more complex as more formerly niche banking services gain greater customer bases, encouraging different banks to shift focus from the traditional retail banking format to a more complex and specialized arrays of banking services. Moreover, large banks, particularly multinational companies, maintain their retail operations while serving non-retail accounts, such as businesses, investors, and purely online customers (Pritchard, 2016). Further, certain organizations offer banking-like services to its members, such as credit unions and savings and loans associations (S&Ls). Thus, to manage this typological complexity, this explorative paper covers only primary forms described in its most typical ...

1. A brief summary of the article: The article “Scientists attempting to harvest human organs in pigs create human-pig embryo” discusses the advances made by researchers that were attempting to utilize genetic manipulation of pig embryos in order to grow parts for people who need them. The research was undertaken in the hopes of providing donors with organs who are unable to get them otherwise. By combining human stem cells with pig DNA the researchers were able to demonstrate that this is indeed possible (Nicola and Rawlinson). The advance of gene editing is considered within the article as an ...

1. A brief summary of the article The article “Gene editing technique could transform future” by Fergus Walsh, which appears in BBC news, discusses the advancements made by genetic engineering in the realm of gene splicing and manipulation. The CRISPR technology allows scientists to produce clearly defined results when attempting to make changes at the genetic level. One important concept that arises from this technical development is the ability to alter or repair damaged DNA. This could have profound implications for health and medicine, which has led genetic engineers to pursue it to a greater degree. However, Walsh indicates ...

The Step of the Risk Management Process

The risk management process is comprised of five core steps. The first is the identification of risks. At the heart of this phase is to identify what is likely to hinder the ability to meet the targeted goals. After the risk has been identified, the next step is to analyze it. This stage requires one to determine the probability and the consequences of the identified risk(s). It assists a person or a group to understand the inherent nature of the risk along with the potential effects on the set goals. The third step is the risk ranking or ...

Flint water crisis is one of the critical issues in the United States. It is worth noting that the residents of Flint are facing major health concerns that are linked to water. The responsible stakeholders continue to blame each other for the water crisis. Also, the water crisis in Flint has become a political issue in the current democratic and republic nomination campaigns. The primary concern is the presence of high level of lead in water that is consumed by residents of Flint Michigan (Felton 2). Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) have a responsibility in dealing with community problems. In this ...

Part 1

It has been decided by the team members that the product we will be choosing for Marketing Trade Show would be called ‘Envopan’ which is an environmentally friendly frying pan. This pan is way ahead of the traditional frying pan which requires a gas or electric stove for providing it the necessary amount of heating for cooking food. Envopan operates on a battery which means it is built on the mechanism of self-heating. The product idea is innovative and practical for campers and tourists. It will save their energy wasted in gathering sticks and fire them up to cook ...

The institutional affiliation

1. An effective threat is cheaper that an effective promise. Explain why this is true. Provide a specific example. Threats and promises are regarded as two main strategic moves used to impact the behavior and actions of others in a bargaining relationship. That type of relationship is considered as a situation where an individual is trying to influence another person’s option of action (McClintock, Stech, & Beggan, 1987). Both threats and promises can be employed within a game-like situation to message a plan of cooperation or to operate other ("Threats, Promises, and Commitments", 2016). For instance, when a parent ...

This process involves the creation of a risk management plan, which is presented as a document to the organizational employees before its implementation. Risk management planning also includes the creation of an assessment matrix that provides insight of the positive and negative impacts of utilizing a particular project application procedure.

The growth of material culture research has occurred simultaneously with a mounting interest in the physical and represented aspect of social life within the field of anthropology. Material culture perspective is founded on the clear, apparent reality that the presence of human-made objects or artefacts is actual proof of the existence of human intelligence (Prown 1982: 1). The fundamental principle is that objects created or changed by humans reveal the beliefs of people who created, bought, used, or consumed them, and thereby the value and belief system of the society at large. Visual anthropology and landscape are vivid representations ...

Introduction

Environmental adaptation is essential to the survival of any animal. In fact, this attribute helps organisms obtain nutrients, build homes, withstand extreme weather conditions, attach mates and enhance their safety (Nelson et al. 2008). With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that polar and grizzly bears have different physical and behavioral characteristics due to environmental adaptation in spite of their species similarities. The polar bear is specially adapted to survive in the cold pole regions. Its body structure and genetic composition have substantially evolved to accommodate the low temperatures and harsh environmental conditions. Its behavioral attributes ...

In our modern, sophisticated and highly secular world, the concept of witchcraft might seem ridiculous and anachronistic. Yet, even today there are many people in the world who believe strongly in the supernatural, including the power of witchcraft to influence the world around them. Despite 19th century mysticism and Romantic period interest in the Druids, Europe has largely abandoned any such traditions. However, belief in witchcraft is still quite common in much of Africa. However, even in Africa witchcraft has changed significantly from what it was in the distant past. The following essay will examine both European and African ...
