...2 P3David OZUO 52517 Unit 2 – P3 Describe the main physical and technological resources required in the operation of a selected organisation ------------------------------------------------- Ayo Afolabi ------------------------------------------------- a) Explain what is meant by resources and give examples All organisations have physical and technological resources that they own that need to be carefully managed. Physical resources are the resources that an organisation needs to maintain in order to carry out its activities. Physical resources include the organisation’s buildings and machinery and the maintenance, insurance and security of these resources. Technological resources include the physical equipment and designs and drawings. It also includes things like software and music, which are also owned by the organisation. b) Explain the difference between physical and technological resources and give examples. Physical resources Physical resources are the resources that the business needs to maintain in order to carry out its activities. This includes buildings, equipment, maintenance and insurance. Buildings and facilities – all businesses need buildings to operate from. This could be a shop, office or someone’s house. The type of building can be very important to some businesses, such as famous buildings in London for financial companies. These companies will want to impress clients by having excellent facilities within the building, such as reception areas...

...P2, P3 and M1 Describe discriminatory practice in health and social care There are many different bases in which discrimination can occur. It may be hard to believe that anyone working in health and social care would discriminate against another person on any of these grounds. Unfortunately it does happen. A person can be discriminated against because of many different reasons including their culture, age, gender and many others. These factors will be described below. Social class - Our social class is apparent from the place where we live. The higher the class, the better the place is kept and maintained. This inequality has also infiltrated health and social care. It has been said that the poor are more likely to get cancer rather than the rich, their chances of survival are also lower. Gender - A person cannot be discriminated against because of their gender. Under the Gender Equality Duty 2007, all organizations, including health and social care services, cannot discriminate unfairly due to a person’s gender. Equal rights of access, health care and rights must be adhered to. Sexuality - Sexual orientation can refer to a person who is gay or lesbian (attracted to the same sex), heterosexual (the opposite sex), or bisexual (both sexes). Discrimination against someone due to their sexual orientation is against the law, If someone feels they are being discriminated against due to this they are able to seek legal help. Health status - Sometimes difficult decisions have...

...P3: Explain the issues a business would need to consider to go online Introduction In this task I will be explaining all the planning issues that need to be considered before setting up a website and how these issues should be checked. Before setting up a business online, there are a variety of aspects to be considered. This is because if a business sets up a website without planning, anything could happen while the business is running which could affect other things like revenue and sales. The issues to consider include the domain name, Country availability, Copyright and financial aspects. These are some of the things to be checked because they need to be consistent throughout the business. Start-up costs Before going online, a business needs to decide if they have enough money to set up a website, and keep it running. Sometimes a company has enough financial help at first to set up the business but as they start making sales and delivery, the business starts to have trouble. Costs include; advertising fees, paying a technician and if you’re a commercial business, paying for all the equipment needed to take photos for online images. Commercial websites normally need to rent a van for deliveries so that would also be part of the costs. Government websites need to consider how they are Domain Name Business has a wide range of areas with different names, so choosing a domain name wisely is very important because it must be copyright. They need to think about how the website...

Jamila experiences marginalisation from her schooling system as they didn't give her any resources to support her schooling as she doesn't speak or understand english. Throughout her primary schooling teachers never gave her a teaching assistant to help her this would make her very confused because she doesn't know what going on in in the class. Jamila would've felt pushed to the side an also isolated due to her not knowing the language. Once Jamila got to secondary school there was still no...

...Effects of discrimination on patients and service users Effects: Marginalisation – If a person is discriminated against they may feel as though they are being pushed to the edge of society and being made to feel different. A Muslim patient in a hospital denied the opportunity to go to a prayer room. They may not be offered Halal food. Disempowered – To be deprived of power and made to feel weak and unimportant. An elderly woman with arthritis having people feed her and dress her when she can do it herself will start to feel worthless and she won’t have the power or the freedom to do things for herself. Low self-esteem – Beliefs about yourself as a human being will become negative and you will tend to focus on your weaknesses and mistakes. It may be hard to recognise the positives about yourself. You will blame yourself for any difficulties or failures that you have experienced. An emotional teenager being a target for bullying would result in that teenager having low self-esteem. Loss of self-identity – To feel like you now longer know who you are as a person, people around you have brought your feelings down to a level of which you just want to give up on life. So you may choose a life of crime or violence, affecting those around you as well as yourself because you are trying to fit in with those around you. Restricted opportunities – All types of discrimination may lead to a person not being able to use health and social provision and this can lead to poor life choices...

...Example, when a company is doing their advertisement with a given reward, he must intend about the contract. If the company do not state the duration for the advertisement, for the people opinion is that the offer is still open. To make the contract exist between the company and the buyer is when the buyer uses their product even without informing the company about it. 2.) Consideration Both of each party must provide something like money and provision of service. If there are some promises, it should happen before making any agreement for exchanging. Example, when a defendant is being offer by the buyer, he should consider the quality of the product before accepting the offer. This is to avoid any dissatisfactory for them. In the business, if there are any supplier want to introduce their products of goods, the company should inspect the quality of the product before agree to buy it. This is to avoid any damages of the contract which the court cannot support any of their bad decision...

Describe Discriminatory Practise in Health and Social Care. Describe the Potential Effects of Discriminatory Practice on Those Who Use Health or Social Care Services. Assess the Effects on Those Using the Service of Three Discriminatory Practices in Health and Social Care Settings. Equality: - The term equality according to Dictionary.com (2015) “Is the state or quality of being equal; correspondence in quantity, degree, value, rank and or ability” however I believe that this definition can establish misconception on the view of an individual, and so the more realistic concept behind ‘Equality’ in regards to the health and social industry; is for all individuals to be provided with equal opportunities to access of the concerning services, and for these users to be treated fairly (not equally) accordingly to the approaches used to meet their individual needs. Diversity: - Is a termed used to describe the promotion and celebrating of differences which an individual may have on the aspects of your own identity as well as others. Rights: - "They are the legal entitlements which we are all privileged to own, with the aim of allowing equal opportunities for all citizens in certain aspects of an individuals' life. There are a number of rights entitled under the enforcement of The Human Rights Act. 2000...

...P1: Explain concepts of equality, diversity and rights in relation to health and social care Equality, diversity and rights are the core elements in health and social care. It affects every single person using the health and social care sector as well as those working within them. It is important for health and social care workers to understand the importance of treating all individuals equally no matter their ethnicity, gender, race, beliefs, sexuality, education, language, background or skin colour. Individuals must all be treated equally; Equality in terms of rights, status or opportunities. This has become an important focus as there are laws and policies in all organisations regarding it to ensure that everyone in the organisation has same opportunities and choices, and no one is discriminated. The new equality act came into force in 2010; it consists of over 116 separate pieces of legislation into one act to protect the rights of individuals and to advance a fair and more equal opportunity for all. In health and social care sector this means everyone using or working within it should have equal opportunities, this can range from job opportunities to getting medical treatment options and that all individuals must receive same high-quality service. Diversity is the term used to describe the differences between individuals. It is important that individual and group diversities are recognised to ensure that everybody’s needs and requirements are understood and responded...

...among the processes in memory that are ready to execute, and allocates the CPU to one of them. • A ready queue may be implemented as a FIFO queue, priority queue, a tree, or an unordered linked list. • CPU scheduling decisions may take place when a process: 1. Switches from running to waiting state (ex., I/O request). 2. Switches from running to ready state (ex., Interrupts occur). 3. Switches from waiting to ready state (ex., Completion of I/O). 4. Terminates. • Scheduling under 1 and 4 is nonpreemptive; otherwise is called preemptive. • Under nonpreemptive scheduling, once the CPU has been allocated to a process, the process keeps the CPU until it releases the CPU either by terminating or by switching to the waiting state. Operating System Concepts 6.3 Dispatcher • Dispatcher module gives control of the CPU to the process selected by the short-term scheduler; this involves: – switching context – switching to user mode – jumping to the proper location in the user program to restart that program • Dispatch latency – time it takes for the dispatcher to stop one process and start another running. Operating System Concepts 6.4 2 Scheduling Criteria • CPU utilization – keep the CPU as busy as possible. • Throughput – number of processes...

...will arrive in a five-minute period? The expected number is of 0.4*5 = 2 customer is a five-minute period. b) Assume that the Poisson probability distribution can be used to describe the arrival process. Use the arrival rate in part (a) and compute the probabilities that exactly 0, 1, 2, and 3 customers will arrive during a five-minute period. The probabilities of the described scenarios are as follows: P0=20e-20! P0=0.135335283 P1=21e-21! P1=0.270670566 P2=22e-22! P2=0.270670566 P3=23e-23! P3=0.180447044 c) Delays are expected if more than three customers arrive during any five-minute period. What is the probability that delays will occur? This probability can be expressed as the probability of more than 3 customers arriving during the five-minute period, which can be computed as following: P(x > 3) = 1 – P(x ≤ 3) P (x > 3) = 1 – 0.85712346 P(x > 3) = 0.14287654 Thus, there is a 14, 29% probability of expected delays in five-minute period. Problem 3 Use the single-server drive-up bank teller operation referred to in Problems 1 and 2 to determine the following characteristics for the system: Using arrival rate and service rate PER MINUTE a) The probability that no customers are in the system P0=1- 0.40.6 P0=0.3333 b) The average number of customers waiting Lq=0.420.6(0.6-0.4) Lq=1.3333 c) The average number of customers waiting L = 1.3333 + 0.40.6 L = 2 d) The average time a customer’s spends waiting Wq= 1.33330.4 ...

... (P1) and one suggested portfolio (P3) post a positive absolute return of 0.80% and 0.82% respectively which underperformed the active fund portfolio (P2) 0.91%. This report follows various modeling methods in order to back test the performance of the active fund portfolio and compare its performance with that of two other portfolios. The findings indicate that, even though P2 achieves the highest return on the overall performance, the limitations such as the macro environment, the assumptions set, and the Shrinkage method used that accidentally downsizes some valuable stocks in out-‐samples as they are closely correlated are being ignored. By contrast, P3 will probably offer a “middle-‐choice” which will bring a promising and more stable return. 1 Portfolio Modeling and Evaluation: Beating the Market Platinum Fund TABLE CONTENT 1.INTRODUCTION 2.DATA 2.1.BASIC INFORMATION 2.2.DATA...

...CPU SCHEDULINGCPU scheduling in UNIX is designed to benefit interactive processes. Processes are given small CPU time slices by a priority algorithm that reduces to round-robin scheduling for CPU-bound jobs.The scheduler on UNIX system belongs to the general class of operating system schedulers known as round robin with multilevel feedback which means that the kernel allocates the CPU time to a process for small time slice, preempts a process that exceeds its time slice and feed it back into one of several priority queues. A process may need much iteration through the "feedback loop" before it finishes. When kernel does a context switch and restores the context of a process. The process resumes execution from the point where it had been suspended.Each process table entry contains a priority field. There is a process table for each process which contains a priority field for process scheduling. The priority of a process is lower if they have recently used the CPU and vice versa.The more CPU time a process accumulates, the lower (more positive) its priority becomes, and vice versa, so there is negative feedback in CPU scheduling and it is difficult for a single process to take all the CPU time. Process aging is employed to prevent starvation.Older UNIX systems used a 1-second quantum for the round- robin scheduling. 4.33SD reschedules processes every 0.1 second and recomputed priorities every second. The round-robin scheduling is accomplished by the -time-out mechanism, which tells...

...Unit 1 - Exploring Business Activity Assignment 2 Scenario Following on from your report for Heronsgate Construction you have been asked to undertake some freelance work for Hillingdon Borough Council. The council are looking at saving costs and want to restructure their organisation so they are more like a business. They have asked you to provide some details of the way in which organisations are structured including the functional areas. This presentation will be used as part of a ‘business week’ being run by the borough. Task 1 As you have already done some research on two organisations you should continue using these for this presentation. However for the NHS you only need to create an organisational structure for a Doctors surgery. This will mean the organisations are contrasting and their structures are varied. Hillingdon Borough Council need the presentation to cover: • A brief introduction into the organisations. • The different ways in which these two businesses are structured. • The different types of functional areas within each business and their activities Due to the nature of the organisations they will have vastly contrasting functional areas. You need to describe the functional areas in each organisation. Make sure you clearly describe what each functional area does. You should aim to include all those which we have covered in this unit. Illustrate these using organisation charts together with accompanying notes to describe their operations. In your presentation...
