This consequently displaces established markets, products, and leading firms. The term was coined by Clayton M Christensen in 1995 and has since been used to describe disruptive phenomena on ...

Effect of climate Change on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR)

Rising sea temperatures: Empirical evidence shows that the rising temperatures caused by climatic changes have a ripple impact on the GBR due to the interdependence between algae found on the coral reef tissue and sea animals that feed on it (GBR Marine Park Authority, 2011). More importantly, rising temperatures stress coral reefs because they are highly responsive to fluctuating temperatures; in particular, if sea temperatures remain higher than usual overtime due to climate change, algae that depend on corals for food may escape the tissue. The effect of algae leaving the tissue is manifested when the corals change color ...

Question 1: Arabic Perfume Unique Selling Propositions and Position Strategy in the Global Market

Pursuit defines unique selling propositions as an act that sets a business to stand out uniquely because of what it produces in the market.

According to the Loc sin’s theory, individuals are seen to be greater than the sum of their parts. All the times, human beings are considered to be whole regardless of whether technology is utilized on them or even when they are sick (Locsin & Purnell, 2015). This theory expects nurses not just to try and fix the broken patients, but to care for the patients holistically. It encourages the mutual process between the nurse and the ones being nursed. I am greatly connected to this theory given the fact that I strongly believe that caring and technology can coexist ( ...

Economic growth is depended on the availability of resources, mainly energy, finance, and economic planning. Rapid growth in the last one and half century was possible due to the availability of cheap and abundant fossil fuels (Heinberg 7). But the burning of fossil fuel has a negative effect on our environment because it causes the release of Green House Gases (GHGs) to the atmosphere. Higher concentration of GHGs traps heat in the atmosphere, causing global warming. Unrestraint rise in global temperature can cause melting of glaciers and rise in sea level submerging landmasses, changing weather patterns with frequent incidence ...

Public schools offer ideal settings for the dissemination of interventions designed to promote physical activity and life-long healthy eating. As such, schools are the only settings where the majority of children can access the opportunity of consuming healthful meals regularly, being physically active through extracurricular activities, and receiving education on healthy living. Nonetheless, many interventions have been ineffective because they often fail to incorporate environmental factors and system-wide policies that influence the ability of schools, families, and children to alter behavior (Coleman et al., 2012). Although recent investigations have made attempts to address the shortcoming, they have yielded mixed ...
