    Marian suffered from a heat stroke causing her body to experience hyperthermia. Marian body went through the process of homeostasis from experiencing hyperthermia. “Homeostasis is a state of body equilibrium or stable internal environment of the body.”(Marieb 8) Homeostasis protects the body by allowing it to adapt to the environment. Marian homeostasis tried to cool the body but failed. Though Marian was lucky her daughter found her in time. When a heat stroke occurs the body’s homeostasis shuts down where the temperature can reach high enough to cause brain damage to where you die. Heat strokes can cause damage internally well as externally. Hyperthermia causes a positive feedback mechanism within the body. “A positive feedback mechanism is a feedback that tends to cause the level of variable to change in the same direction as an initial change.”( Marieb 9) When the body stimulus rises the hypothalamus’s thermoreceptors start to work as the body’s thermostat. The thermoreceptors send messages allowing the hypothalamus to make temperature changes in the core. When the core starts to raise the heat loss mechanism starts one or two things: “dilation of cutaneous blood vessels or enhanced sweating.”(Marieb 833) “Dilation of cutaneous blood vessels is where the vessels swell with warm blood, heat is lost from the radiation, conduction, and convection” (Marieb 833) Some symptoms for a heat stroke are “throbbing headache, dizziness and light-headedness, lack of sweating despite the heat, red hot skin, muscle weakness or cramps, nausea and vomiting, rapid heartbeat, which may either strong or weak, rapid shallow breathing, behavioral changes such as confusion, disorientation or staggering, seizures, and unconsciousness.”( http://firstaid.webmd.com/heat-stroke-symptoms-and-treatment)…

    The day after she arrived home, Elaine saw Dr. Scott. He ordered an MRI, which confirmed the injury. He suggested that she consider reconstructive surgery on her knee. While some patients elect to avoid surgery, they are at much higher risk of developing osteoarthritis earlier, and the instability of their knee makes them more likely to fall again. Thirty years ago most surgeons would not have suggested surgery for this injury, particularly in someone aged 55, and the surgical techniques were not as successful as they are now. Because Elaine was a fairly active individual prior to the accident, Dr. Scott encouraged her to have reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, and he referred her to another orthopedic surgeon who did that surgery on a routine basis.…

    1. Brenda was called an exceptional employee before the company underwent changes. The changes required more telecommuting and positional autonomy in Brenda’s position. The new responsibilities were added to her job description without any discussion of the expectations by her superiors. Brenda’s manager did not evaluate her fairly due to the fact the he did not previously determine her requirements, so that she could do it to the best of ability. The evaluation of the newer responsibilities of her job was less than satisfactory, even though she had been given no guidelines. Brenda and Martin can reach a satisfactory result, but only if both are willing to compromise, until then this is unfair judgment.…

    According to the textbook, performance management system is defined as "a continuous process of identifying, measuring, and developing the performance of individuals and teams and aligning performance with the strategic goals of the organization" (Aguinis, 2013, p. 2). Meaning, performance management requires a constant monitoring of employee performance in order to ensure company goals and policies are being met. A good performance management system works towards the improvement of the overall organizational performance by managing the performances of teams and individuals for ensuring the achievement of the overall organizational ambitions and goals. But not until late at Omega, Inc., there was not performance management system in place. The network of franchise owners agreed to work together to implement a performance management system to help improve the performance of sales representatives. Prior to the development of the performance management system, Omega faced challenging situations because it did not have control over the people working for the independent dealerships. It was the performance of these individuals that dictated Omega’s sales success. Another issue was that there was no clear understanding of the role of the sales representatives and there was not formal sales process in place. The franchise owners conducted a job analysis of the role of the sales representatives, wrote a job description, and distributed it to all sales representatives. The owners also adopted a franchise-wide mission statement based primarily on the need to provide high-quality customer service. As a second step, the managers set performance goals for each employee. Then, all sales representatives attended extensive training sessions. Another problem at the…

    Greif is defined as a deep mental anguish, as that arising from bereavement or being left alone, and is a normal response to loss (Matzo & Sherman, 2010). Marilyn Andrews’s grief is made up of different circumstances that have happen in a short span of her life. The first is the passing of her father to lung cancer. Marilyn and her father did not have a relationship with each other for twenty-seven years and his death left her with a lot of mixed feelings, which included hurt and anger. The second incident that occurred in her life was the passing of one of her sons, Jacob to a head- on collision with a drunk driver. No parent wants to bury their child and still battling the death of her father along with this added to her grieving history. “Parents feel responsible for their child’s health, well-being, and safety and may experience survivor guilt, powerlessness, and loss of religious faith (Matzo & Sherman 2010). Greif can also affect the individual’s ability to function temporarily. The passing of her son Jacob had an effect on her husband John and son Philip. Philip coped by hanging with his friends and John spends all of his time at work or in the yard. Their ways of dealing with grief affects Marilyn as well and they do not even notice.…

    “Green” may mean different things to different groups. To adopt any Green initiative, a greater understanding of our carbon footprint – in our homes, our businesses, our supply and value chains – is essential. Intense monitoring and heavy number crunching are required. Information and Communications Technology (ICT or IT) is called into play. “IT” is in a unique position with respect to Greening, viewing it from two perspectives: Greening the IT departments of organizations (Green IT); using IT Tools to make other industries environment friendly (IT for Green). IT’s role in Greening is of growing importance. Though recent data tags IT with just 2% of global emissions, it is an industry that is growing rapidly, at around 6%per annum. The second factor is that for the industries that generate the remaining 98% share of emissions – transportation, heavy industry, etc - IT can help mitigate carbon footprint. TCS Innovation Forum in the UK , focused on “Green”, a key R&D theme at TCS. Participants from across industries were asked to present the problem areas they are looking at, the control measures they are considering, the behavioural changes they would like to bring in, in taking forward their Green plans.…
