...You will make sure to do anything to meet the demands, blinding you to the risk created by your condition. Addicts will cut themselves off from society, because their addiction becomes greater than fear. The addict is left living a life of isolation rather than community. While someone who isn't suffering gains protection. The Ill no matter their diagnoses should receive the same remedy. Addiction isn’t a choice and they’re constantly growing. Researcher Gene Heyman illustrates in his journal that “A normal choice process can lead to addiction, arguing that people do not choose to be addicts, but that normal choice dynamics can lead them to that condition. He points to a variety of factors that keep most from becoming addicted”(Heyman). These individuals are just trying to live with their mental disability and not be abandoned. People with addictions do have the same right to be free from discrimination as anyone else with a disability or...

...------------------------------------------------- GEST-S-611 Comptabilité de gestion ------------------------------------------------- Cas Heymans NV Le 5 février 2014 Le bénéfice surfacique des différents légumes [€/ha] Dans un premier temps, il peut-être judicieux de déterminer le bénéfice surfacique de chaque légume, il est calculé en [€/ha]. Pour ce faire, il suffit de multiplier le rendement en [T/ha] par le prix de vente en [€/T] et d’en soustraire la somme des coûts variables en [€/ha] et ce pour chaque type de légume. On a: Bénéfice Surfacique=Rendement ×Prix de Vente- Coûts Variables Après calcul, on obtient : Type de légume | Bénéfice Surfacique [€/ha] | Patate | 530 | Chicon | 490 | Poireau | 755 | Carotte | 960 | Il faut, bien entendu, tenir compte des coûts fixes dans le calcul du bénéfice. La première conclusion est que si on pouvait dédier toute la surface à un unique légume sans contraintes, il serait préférable de cultiver que des carottes. On aurait un bénéfice brut de 96.000€ (100 [ha] à 960 [€/ha]) auquel on doit soustraire les coûts fixes de 54.000€, on obtient alors un bénéfice net de 42.000 [€]. Question 1 Pour ce point, il faut tenir compte de deux contraintes. D’une part il faut respecter les engagements pris envers les différents clients, d’autre part, il existe des contraintes terriennes, on ne peut pas planter n’importe quel légume sur n’importe quelle terre. En respectant ces contraintes, on souhaite produire...

...by the environment in which the operations are carried out. The legal, political and economic conditions of a given country are some of these determining factors, especially for emerging markets (Lassar, Haar, Montalvo and Hulser 135). Consequently, the management of any multinational corporation that intends to expand its operations into a given country must have an understanding of the economic and political factors in the country. While there are countries that have undergone industrialization and have developed markets, there are those that have not attained that state, but can be considered as emerging market economies. Mexico is one of these emerging markets given the economic stability that has been recorded since the late 1990s (Heyman 31). Mexico is a federal constitutional democracy in the continent of North America. The country contains thirty-one states and the federal district that houses the national government offices. The office of the president is currently held by Enrique Pena Nieto who came into power on December 1, 2012 as the 57th president. The country was colonized by Spain and gained her independence on September 27, 1821 after eleven years of war for independence. The Mexicans had affirmed themselves sovereign towards the end of 1810. This colonization made Spanish the most spoken language in the country and still remains at the top. Political Risks Mexico follows a political system and government structure that was outlined in the 1917 constitution...

...Introduction: Adaptation in sensory evaluation of food refers to the slow drop of sensation (in constant magnitude) after the stimulus has been fully switched on (Lawless & Heyman, 1993). They also added that after a certain time this sensation can completely disappear or in some instances the taste persists that shows a degree of taste adaptation. This idea usually occurs when the perceived taste intensity of one product reduces the other different product. For example, water can taste sour or bitter after a salt adaptation. On the other hand, taste interaction masks the interaction between mixtures of different tastes (Lawless & Heyman, 1993). A solution of sucrose (sweet) and quinine (bitter) will taste less sweet than a pure sucrose solution of the same strength. According to Lawless and Heyman (1993), these sensations are distinguished by taste buds present on the tongue namely fungiform, circumvallate and foliate. They contain 30 to 50 taste receptor cells (TRCs). TRCs protrude hair-like cilia called microvillae to the surface of the taste buds that form the taste pore. This then comes into contact with the saliva. It is believed that flavoursome molecules from food bind to microvillae at the top of the taste cells. After binding, the taste-producing compounds (tastants) transfer sensations to the tongue and beyond by different pathways. For chemicals that produce sweet, umami and bitter tastes they use similar receptors called G- protein coupled receptors (GPCR)...

Journal of Nursing Care Quality, 29(4), 371-378. A2. Graphic Background Information | The purpose of this article was to identify patient perceptions of bedside handover through directly asking patients about their care. The study was done on a two in-patient medical-surgical departments at Borgess Medical Center in Michigan. They had implemented bedside handoff at shift change 18 months prior to this study. Then a sample of patient participants was chosen from the two nursing departments for the study. They had to meet certain criteria to be a participant and they had to experience three handoffs. Then they were given a survey to fill out after the beside handovers. Participants were positive about the RN bedside handoff process. The overall mean from the survey was 3.32 on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to a 4 (highly agree). | Review of Literature | There were multiple references that provided statistics and facts during this study. Most of these studies have focused on implementing bedside handoffs and nurse perceptions of the handoff. Published studies that focused on patients’ perceptions of beside handoff have been mainly qualitative. Recently, researchers have published...

...Revolution. France, Germany, and the United States were the main countries involved in the second revolution. Historians wanted an industrial system. This meant they needed a “set of arraignments or processes – whether of extraction, production, transportation, distribution, or finance – organized to make the whole industrial order function smoothly.” (Davidson, Stoff , DeLay, Heyman, & Lytle, 2011) To gain the industrial system they desired new technology needed to be invented. One of these inventions came in the form of communications. “In the early 1840’s newspapers were the form of communication” however it took too long for newspapers to reach people. From New York to Indiana, it took 10 days to get there and if by ship, it took three months to arrive in San Francisco. This was a great disadvantage for the new industrial order. Transportation had been greatly improved, but without communication, materials or goods needed would have to wait until the next newspaper or ship arrived. This wait time was no longer necessary when Samuel Morse “sent out his first message over electric wire” (Davidson, Stoff , DeLay, Heyman, & Lytle, 2011) in 1844. This came to be known as Morse code. “Morse Code is an alphabetic code of long and short sounds.” (WiseGeek, n.d.) these sounds were sent over a machine called a telegraph. 76,000 miles of telegraph lines...

...Addiction Addiction is a physical, psychological and physiological state that is as a result of dependence on substances that are psychoactive. These substances are known to cross the barrier between blood and brain when they are taken into the body either through smoking, drinking, injection or any other means that may cause their entry into the body. These substances work by altering the normal functioning of the brain and results in what is often called 'getting high' (Heyman, 2009). The addiction develops when an individual cannot stay for prolonged periods of time without relying on the psychoactive substance that they are addicted to. An addiction may also include habits or behavior patterns that with time become ingrained in our day to day lives and which an individual eventually finds out that they cannot live without indulging in their particular habit or behavior. Though the involvement in the activity or substance is initially a means to seek bliss and enjoyment, after a while, the individual will need to engage in the substance or activity to feel that he or she is normal. Experts in psychology have identified addiction in many forms, but all of them highlight the unusual psycho-dependency on substances and activities. These include; gambling, eating, sex and/or pornography, the internet, work, watching TV, shopping and many more. The main forms of addiction discussed widely though involve excessive drinking, excessive gambling, drug use, eating and sexuality (Orford...

...and even alcohol were to be called a disease than we must completely redefine the term “disease”. In a true disease, some part of the body is in a state of abnormal functioning, and this causes the undesirable symptoms. Like cancer for instance, it is caused by mutated cells which we point to as evidence of an abnormality. The theory of drugs being a disease is simply to soften the blow of being a drug addict or alcoholic, also the person would have no control whatsoever. Many feel that the calling drug addiction a disease weakens the drug addict and almost allows him to feel pity for himself, pity that would leads the addict to justify his addition. According to Gene Heyman, a lecturer in psychology at the Harvard Medical School addiction is not an involuntary disease but is created by personal choices. Heyman looked at different factors that can influence an addict to stop using, and pointed out there are thousands of ex-addicts who have beat their addiction. We should all know how harmful drugs are and what it does to people, but thousands of people still decide to take, which can end up make the person addicted to the drug or have no effect what’s so ever. So in conclusion drug addiction is a chose the person makes and not a disease like some try to make it out to...

...principles and views of society. Alliances in Europe also greatly shifted as Western countries built necessary alliances to counter obvious build up of military strength in the Soviet Union. With the Soviets consistently hostile military action, the United Stated, Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands formed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) (Gienapp & Heyman, 2005). The United States and Canada entering into NATO in 1949 is one example of how American Cold War policies and practices influenced international relations. America’s Cold War policies held true in ensuring to assist any and all countries in combating Communism in many way they could, financially and militarily. The overall shift in world powers and the fight between Communism and Democracy led to a shift in global military and government dominance. Alliances changed, policies and practices were greatly influenced and a shift was seen all across the globe. The Cold War was a time of fear, uncertainty, and a struggle for military and political dominance worldwide. Reference Gienapp, D., & Heyman, L.S. (2005).

...a) The opportunities that made Cinemex’s success possible was: - The collapse of the Mexico economy allowed the owners to buy land at a cheaper price, and also help run off competitors - Since all theater had the same films, they focused on the quality of the theater as a form of differentiation (bigger and better screens, carpeting, emergency lights on floors, attractive marquees), while this was standard in the USA, this was new to Mexico - Candy shops were located in the complex, and employees were trained to be polite and provide quick service - Cinemex was the 1st movie chain to allow customers to purchase and reserve their tickets by the web and their phones - Only chain that had 100% digital sound *While these opportunities did last for a while, consumers are always looking for a way to save money. When Cinemex competitors began to offer the 2 for 1 special, the impact it had on Cinemex attendance was gradually seen. b) The impact of the competitors 2 for 1 pricing on ticket sales on Wednesdays was not felt the first week that it went into effect.

...Studies conducted on adults have demonstrated the effectiveness of utilising promises to eliminate cheating and these results have been suggested to be a consequence of wanting to maintain consistency between commitments and actions. Children are thought to have difficulty complying with rules when it conflicts with their self interest as a result of their underdeveloped self regulation skills. However, while a study suggested that children younger than seven years old values commitment and holds a negative view of those who break promises, are children also motivated to avoid discrepancies between their promises and actions? Psychologist Gail Heyman and colleagues recently published a study in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology that tackled this question. They aimed to discover the effect of eliciting verbal promises on rule compliance in children. The experiment consisted of two studies both of which were conducted on Han Chinese children in China. The first study consisted of 240 children, ranging from ages 4 to 7, in two randomly allocated groups: a promise group (where a verbal promise not to cheat was obtained) and a no promise group (where no verbal promise pertaining to cheating was obtained). A rigged card guessing game was played between an experimenter and each individual participant from both groups and a situation was created where upon the child’s last chance of winning the game, the experimenter leaves the room thus creating an opportunity...
