...Name: Arsalan Anwar Business level 3 Unit 1: P1 Introduction: In this assignment I will be selecting two contrasting business which are going to be Tesco and Oxfam. I will be writing a written report describing their purposes and ownership, to do this I’ll talk about what goods and services they offer and to whom they offer these to. Finally I’ll talk about where they operate and which industrial sector of the economy they operate in. Introduction of Tesco Tesco is a massive company with high revenues, it is also a public limited company (PLC) that means it has limited liability, the meaning of limited liability is that the investor cannot lose more than the amount he has invested within the company intern this means that the investor is not personally responsible for the debts of the company so linking this to Tesco it will mean that if Tesco goes into debt the investors are not responsible to pay it off. The main aim of Tesco is to make profit and the reason it will make profit is because it is a well know and established company which has been trading for many years. It has over 2000 stores around the world and it is employing nearly up to 300,000 people which proves that it is a global organisation. Sector of the economy Tesco operate Tesco operates in the tertiary sector which is also know as the service sector and is one of the three main economy sectors, the tertiary...

Consider how to create a rapport with the audience. For example, what areas of agreement may already exist between you and your readers? What does your audience need in order to make them interested in your topic? Types of Introductions One way to draw in the audience is to grab readers’ attention with the introduction. Consider opening your paper in one of the following ways: • Tell a story or an anecdote. If you have personal experience in this area, tell a story about yourself or someone you know. Example: Last year, approximately 3,400 adult nonsmokers died from lung cancer due to secondhand smoke. • Provide a short, famous quotation. Example: “It's easy to quit smoking. I've done it hundreds of times..” – Mark Twain (1835–1910) • Write as if your position will argue the other side of the topic.

...Background: Breast cancer cases in women are highly attributed to BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. The protein products of these genes suppress the development of cancer, in part by repairing damage in other genes. Women who inherit a nonfunctioning copy of either BRCA1 or BRCA2 therefore have a significantly elevated lifetime risk of breast cancer, especially at an early age. Identification of hereditary breast cancer susceptibility allows optimized medical management of an individual's increased risk of breast cancer. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to highlights the arguments on doing predictive breast cancer genetic testing to investigate who is likely to carry a mutation, from ethical and legal perspectives of proponents and opponents...

...Synopsis of Computational Analysis of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) of Liver cancer, Breast cancer, and Lung cancer B.Sc Hons. Biotechnology Institute of Industrial Biotechnology GOVT.COLLEGE UNIVERSITY LHR. INTRODUCTION Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), present in the protein encoding regions of the genome can have a profound influence on the structure and function of a protein. Simply these are the changes that could be silent or can be expressive, but mostly are silent. SNPs sometimes have very deleterious effects, such as change in only one nucleotide can cause missarrangement of whole of the sequence and thus codon is misread, accordingly wrong protein will form. In this study effect of SNPs on cancerous diseases will be studied. Many genes have been reported whicg have many silent and some expressive but deleterious mutations or SNPs. We will use different databases to collect the relevant data of SNPs and genes such as FASTA sequence, position, number of chromosome etc. then by usin different softwares for computational analysis of SNPs, this data will be explained on genomic level. To analyse the effect on protein level computational analysis of codones will be done. This give a brief role of SNPs(change) and its effect(disease). OBJECTIVE and SCOPE Main purpose of this work is to find out the mechanism through which SNPs cause changes at protein level. As the data will provide briefly the changes in the gene (at...

Corporate Social Responsibility “The continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local communities and society at large “ Is how business define CSR. This is debatable, because many business use corporate social responsibility as a way to build brand recognition, they don’t stay true to their CSR statements they make statements that appeal to the emotional customer.

...Smoking and Lung Cancer Smoking and Lung Cancer The devastating cause of lung cancer is creditable to cigarette smoking. Introduction Fatalities due to cancer are widespread around the globe. One of the leading cancers, worldwide, is lung cancer affecting both men and women; killing more than 1 million people in a year, according to estimation. Smoking has by and large contribution in the cause of lung cancer. Obviously, lung cancer is a significant and prevalent disease that comprises a key public health problem. It is evidently established by widespread epidemiological data that cigarette smoking is the main motive of lung cancer. Overall, 75- 80% of lung cancer fatalities and particularly 90% deaths among males are contributable to smoking in United States every year. (Hecht, 1999) Discussion There is a dose-response association exist among smoking and lung cancer, and the possibility for lung cancer amplifies with duration of smoking, quantity of smoked cigarettes, age at beginning of smoking, unfiltered cigarettes’ usage, content of tar and nicotine, and extent of intake. In 1956, a pivotal trial was performed by Doll and Hill which illustrated that a cessation in smoking minimizes the potentiality of lung cancer relatively to those who keep on smoking. Reproduction of this verdict by Pathak et al. in a study in 1986 weighed against cases and controls more than 65 years of age to less than 65 years of age to those and furthermore displayed that there was...

...provision of personalized medicine. Genentech recognized the weakness that arose from the clinical failure of Avastin as a cure for early stage cancer. One of the major reasons of Roche to acquire Genentech was an opportunity to own the rights of Avastin. Roche planned to rely on the Avastin as part of the company’s growth strategy. The main threat that Roche faced was introduction of new drugs to the market for cure of cancer. Strengths Genentech has exceptional expertise in biotechnology. The company is known for its exemplary performance in biotechnology. Roche believes that the expertise in biotechnology will create and sustain competitive advantage of Genentech to the lead in the personalized medicine industry (Rothwell 69). Weaknesses The major weakness of Genentech was the recent clinical failure in the trial of Avastin. In 2004, Avastin was certified to treat advanced colon cancer and other types of metastatic cancer. The drug worked by blocking a protein known as VEGF used by tumors to form blood vessels. Avastin failed the phase III trial, showing a major inefficiency in the drug. The negative results of the test caused a major setback, resulting in Roche’s shares declining by ten percent. The situation was complicated when a U.S. advisory panel voted to revoke the approval of Avastin for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. Two major phase III trials showed that the drug exhibited no significant benefits to patients. Patients and doctors were fighting to keep the...
