...Supply Chain Network Analysis and Design: Location Analysis PROC 5820 7 May 2014 Summary The principal thesis of this paper is to discuss location analysis and its role in supply chain network analysis and design. The emphasis of site location is of strategic importance to all organizations seeking to maximize profits and minimize costs. The logistics/supply chain network design has six major planning steps in the process of designing a comprehensive logistics/supply chain network: The first step is to define the logistics/supply chain design process. The second step is to perform a logistics/supply chain audit. The third step is to examine the logistics/supply chain network alternatives. The fourth step is to conduct a facility location analysis, followed by the fifth step, which is to make decisions regarding network and facility location. The sixth and final step is to develop an implementation plan. Location analysis is also discussed in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of globalization and major location site factors. The discussion then describes the methods for evaluating major location site factors and making location decisions based on the evaluation. The paper concludes with discussing different modeling approaches and the need for comprehensive planning.

...this area to the city, the variation of household incomes, the proximity of markets, the availability of farm labour and the possibilities of off-farm employment (Mortimore and Wilson (1965) as cited in Marshall et al., 2009). Forty years on from this work by Mortimore and Wilson, the peri-urban is still conceptualised as a heterogeneous mix of urban and rural features. Douglas (1999), in his review of African peri-urbanisation stated that three scales of analysis can be drawn from existing works on the theme. First that African peri-urbanisation has been portrayed in organic terms – as an outgrowth of the primate city in response to the inability to cope with rising urban population. According to this scale of analysis, the peri-urban zone develops within proximity to and maintains close ties with the central city with the majority of its population still dependent on the central city for its sustenance. This study depended on GIS/Map analysis to explain that more informed understanding of urban growth in the fringe settlements are possible with the aid of GIS, hence widening the scope of geographical enquiry (Douglas, 1999). Douglas (1999) in reviewing demographic structures of peri-urban areas explained that peri-urban areas receive two main flows of migrants creating wide variations of wealth and social status: urban people seeking a more rural lifestyle or cheaper accommodation and poorer rural people seeking for work and better opportunities of livelihood for themselves...

...will always need their caregivers. This is the idea that Bowlby put forward. Bowlby explained the three main ways in which secure attachment provides survival. Firstly, safety results in a desire to maintain proximity ensuring safety of the baby and is reflected by both the infant and caregiver being distressed when separated. Attachment enables babies to form healthy emotional relationships. This is the continuity hypothesis – the idea that there is a direct link between early attachment behaviour and later emotional behaviour. The final way attachment promotes survival is a secure base for exploration. Having an attachment is important for protection. A child can explore the world e.g. when they go school and have a safe haven (a safe place) to come back to for protection and comfort. This will ensure that the child develops well intellectually, socially and emotionally. Bus and Van Ijzendoorn (1988) found that securely attached children showed more interest in written material than did the insecurely attached children regardless of their intelligence and the amount of preparatory reading instruction. Maccoby (1980) argued that you can tell two people have an attachment by looking at their behaviours. There are 4 areas he put forward. The first is seeking proximity. This is the desire of the infant and caregiver to be near one another and spend time together for example playing together. The second is distress on separation - an infant who is securely attached will cry if...

...failure to perform an act as to which a duty of performance is imposed by law. The prosecution is going to rely on two major facts for its argument, the first being that the defendant was wearing a wing suit and the second being that the defendant was a proximity flying BASE jumper. The purpose of the wing suit is that it fills with air when the “pilot” jumps allowing them to steer and have more accuracy. Speeds in the wing suit can peek at over one hundred miles an hour. By holding the body in a certain position the “pilot” is able to glide forward at a ratio of up to 3:1 meaning that he would be hurtling forward horizontally three feet for every foot of decent. An expert said that some “pilots” wearing these suits “can yield mind blowing accuracy” yet the defendant could not aim away from Mr. Viejo. In addition to wearing a wing suit the defendant was also a proximity BASE jumper, proximity jumpers attempt to fly as close as possible to the building, bridge, or other structure, sometimes through terrain that is little wider then their outstretched arms. The defendant’s actions of using these two techniques together was so dangerous there are not even statistics on how dangerous it is. The combination between proximity jumping and the wing suit BASE jumping were both voluntary acts and the defendant preformed them of his own free will. Consequently, the prosecution can use each of them to establish facts about the defendant’s actus reus. Part B. Part B asks in pursuing...

...Attachment Paper Life Span Human Development Lela Lambe 10/25/15 Kristin Scott-Grove Introduction: Attachment is a strong, affectionate bond we have with our mother. Also, with special people in our lives during a lifetime. Attachment leads us to experience pleasure when we interact with time. Besides, to be comforted by nearness in times of stress. Lasting emotional connection that connects people to another within space and time. Attachment is a strong emotional and social bond of trust between the child and parents. That is very important for social and emotional development. In childhood, particular the first couple of years of life, attachment relationships help the immature brain use the mature functions of the parent’s brain to develop important capacities related to interpersonal functioning. The baby’s bond with their attachment caregiver. Offer experience-dependent neural avenue to develop. Particularly in the frontal lobes where the capacities are wire into the developing brain. Attachment Theory devised by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth to account for the impact of early separation and trauma on the child. Has revolutionized our views of development, psychopathology, and clinical work. Is the most prominent theory today regarding early socio-emotional development. The empirically based and support the research. The child is highly motivated beginning birth to form and maintain attachments to a few caregivers. Healthy attachments have successful...

...Relationship Between Psychological Intimacy and Romantic Jealousy Abstract Most of the research on romantic relationships are emphasizing the roles of psychological intimacy and the generated jealousy evoking behaviors. However, the causal effects of these constructs in relation to jealousy have not yet been examined enough. Some of the factors such as affection, affirmation levels, attachment style, and levels of intimacy play an important role in changing the style of jealousy related behaviors either cognitive or surveillance. Results show that the negative type of jealousy where the emotion of fear, aggressiveness hold to the person’s character may be the reason of perceived threats to the relationship from third parties. When there is a threat in a romantic relationship, it is seen that the partners are more likely to be engaged in jealousy behaviors. Keywords: Jealousy, Psychological intimacy, Romantic relationship Relationship Between Psychology Intimacy and Romantic Jealousy Have you ever seen that either you or your romantic partner turned into a green eyed monster? Green eyed monster is socially named for the concept, jealousy. Being jealous has always considered to be negative yet many people engage in jealousy evoking behaviors. There are many factors lying behind the emotion such as psychological intimacy. In other words, interpersonal closeness. Due to different give and takes, interpretations...

...Introduction A concept analysis is written in order to clearly define a selected topic and provide understanding of its uses, attributes and how it will relate to a certain field. The goal of this paper is to convey the conceptual meaning of rurality as it relates to oral health and its impact on advanced practice nursing. Purpose The purpose if this concept analysis is to present a theoretical understanding of oral health among rural populations. Despite important links between oral health and general health, oral diseases are common and public health and prevention efforts aimed to improving oral health have lagged prevention efforts. Research shows that the key to improving oral health is through preventative care and early treatments. However, many individuals within rural communities do not have access to preventive programs and early treatment; whether it is due to financial burden, uninsured, distance to treatment, lower rates of water fluoridation or poor access to care providers. People who have the least access to preventive services and dental treatment have greater rates of oral diseases (“Oral Health”, 2013). Evidence In 2000, the United States Surgeon General’s report on “Oral Health in America” defined oral health broadly, emphasizing that oral health is “integral to general health; oral health means more than healthy teeth and that you cannot be healthy without oral health.” The World Health Organization defines oral health as “a state of being free from...

Parent settles the infant. • Parent leaves again • Stranger returns • Parent returns and stranger leaves. In all the stranger enters on average eight times, more if the child is okay, less if it is showing signs of distress. Throughout the procedure the child is observed by a team of researchers who make notes every 15 seconds about the following behaviours: Proximity and contact-seeking behaviours Proximity and contact-maintaining behaviours Interaction-avoiding behaviours Contact and interaction-resisting behaviours Search behaviours To get more reliable results Ainsworth and her co-workers combined the results of several studies so that a total of 106 different child observations were included in the final report. This combining of studies is called a meta-analysis. The observations made allowed Ainsworth to judge the child’s reaction to the following three variables: Separation anxiety: how the child reacts when mother leaves Stranger anxiety: how the child reacts to being alone with a stranger Reunion behaviour: how the child behaves when mum returns Subsequent studies that have used the 'Strange Situation' have found it to be...

...__________________________________________________________________________________________ LONDON VICTORIA STATION an analysis of the spatial complexity of the railway concourse. SHRUTI S SHETTY Advanced Architectural Studies University College London, UK. ABSTRACT With the development of the railways, the identity of the railway concourse has changed over the last century. The design of railways stations is one of the most challenging practices and the concourse design must provide for large fluid spaces to facilitate rapid movement. In addition to these, the modern station demands much more from a railway concourse. The National Rail has chalked out the key requirements for every station with Security, Information, Navigation and Facilities as one of the few Basic needs followed by Higher-level needs such as Retail and Catering. In the life of all cities, the railway station plays an important role in the day-to-day life of its citizens and thereby a constant effort has been made to keep up with increasing requirements of the concourse yet maintaining the fluidity of spaces. This report discusses the effect of a concourse layout and its relation with the urban context on the process of ‘navigation’ and ‘way finding’ in the system. Another aspect of railways stations is the way it fits into the urban system which determines the nature of the concourse and the way people interact with the space. Liverpool street station gives an impression of it being an enclosed...

...Childcare Regulations: a historical analysis, states that Ontario childcare in the early-to-mid twentieth century was primarily seen as an act of charity (Pacini-Ketchabaw, 2005, p. 42). The government believed high infant mortality rates were the problem of the lower class. This was first attributed to poor hygiene and nutrition and later to mothers ignorant of proper parenting practices. In establishing childcare, the government was essentially trying to save children from what was perceived as incompetent parenting. Meanwhile, doctors came to believe that the childcare programs themselves were detrimental to children’s health (Pacini-Ketchabaw, 2005, p. 44). Despite roots in acts of charity, the first two historical discourses (“the need for medical supervision” and “the relationships with ‘families in need’”) are still useful for regulating childcare today. Regulation of childcare helps ensure that minimum standards are being met at all facilities and gives a course of action for when they are not met. Current government policies, much like the original goals of regulation, help ensure that children’s medical needs are met and help prevent neglect....

...Robu Ionut-Cristian Group 936 Groupe Danone - issues regarding its policies 1. Company’s background The company has its roots in Spain, where Danone was founded by Isaac Carasso in 1919. Having previously lived in the Balkans where yogurt was a dietary staple, Carasso decided to introduce this healthy product in Barcelona. He opened a small yogurt business named "Danone," meaning "Little Daniel" after his son. Carasso was aware of scientific advances that had been made with fermented milk by Elie Metchnikoff at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. He perfected the first industrial manufacturing process by combining the traditional method of making yogurt with the pure cultures that had been isolated in Paris. In 1923, the first Danone yogurts start to be sold in pharmacies as doctors recommend it for its therapeutic qualities. The younger Carasso, Daniel, learned the family business in Spain and decided to establish Danone in France in 1929. In 1949, the yogurt is almost a dairy product. The porcelain “envase” is substituted by the one made of glass. This innovation makes it easier to popularize the yogurt. In 1968, Danone starts its first TV campaign. In 1985, Danone creates its first “low fat yogurt” called “Danone Desnatado”. In 1992, Danone was the Official Sponsor of Barcelona's Olympic Games. “Danone Institute” is created in 1993. Its main objective is to research and develop healthier and better products for the company. 2. Mission, values and corporate...

...Small business social responsibility: Expanding core CSR theory Laura J. Spence Abstract This paper seeks to expand business and society research in a number of ways. Its primary purpose is to redraw two core CSR theories (stakeholder theory and Carroll’s CSR pyramid), enhancing their relevance for small business. This is done by the application of the ethic of care, informed by the value of feminist perspectives and the extant empirical research on small business social responsibility. It is proposed that the expanded versions of core theory have wider relevance, value and implications beyond the small firm context. The theorization of small business social responsibility enables engagement with the mainstream of CSR research as well as making a contribution to small business studies in scholarly, policy and practice terms. Key words: corporate social responsibility, ethic of care, feminist ethics, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), small business, Carroll’s pyramid, stakeholder theory. Correspondence: Laura J.

...stopped at a coffee shop and paid with a debit card thereby producing another record of my location at an exact time and date. At home while getting ready for work, I logged into a podcast of my favorite National Public Radio show. My login information is connected to a credit card and all of my personal demographics. The time stamp I left while streaming online radio will most likely be saved on a massive server, available for recall for years on end. As disturbing as this seems, this is only the beginning, as my day to day job requires constant surveillance, both by proximity card, audio and video surveillance. Most people can tell you that if you desire privacy at your workplace, do not pursuit a career in corrections. In one eight hour day, my proximity card, which links to my personnel record, is recorded over fifty times a day. In order to enter or exit any door or hallway, one must swipe their proximity card, which logs the activity into a massive database that is backed up into a cloud server on an hourly basis. If you really wanted to know, you could find out exactly how many times I went to the bathroom today and for how long during each trip. To add insult to injury, upon leaving work and arriving on campus for my night class, I was required to swipe my credit card in order to park my car in the parking garage. This data does not even include the so called “passive data” that is...
