TOPIC:   EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE ORGANIZATION

Organization officials have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure that the workplace is free from unnecessary hazards. Employers hold responsibility for understanding what is necessary to keep workers safe from harm. Conditions surrounding the workplace must be secure for employee’s physical and mental health. As many organizations have implemented wellness program, that focus on smoking cessation, weight control, stress management, early diagnosis of health problems, prevention and education about life-style related and contagious illness. Wellness program can cut Employers health cost and lower absenteeism by preventing health related problems.

President Cyril Ramaphosa officially opened and addressed the first 4th Industrial Revolution SA - Digital Economy Summit. The Summit was hosted by the 4th Industrial Revolution South Africa partnership (4IRSA), an alliance between partners from the public and private sectors, academia and civil society. The 4IRSA partnership seeks to develop Human Resource practices that will enhance training and development in South Africa. Furthermore, the summit presented plans to develop training procedures that will be inclusive, coherent and responsive to the 4IR in the country. The president was quoted saying "Training programmes must allow learner's to be evaluated in the workplace after a period of approximately 6 months to determine whether their performance has improved and whether these improvements contributed to the achievement of objectives". Use the statement above to identify the training level of needs the summit intended to highlight as well as the evaluation method the President suggested during the summit. Furthermore, briefly analyse the potential impact of the 4IR on the following classrooms.  Interactive television classroom  Distance learning  Computer-based training (20

Questions asked after completing quantitative volumetric analysis of pickling vinegar & NaOH (regular vinegar consists 5% acetic acid, CH3COOH. Piclking vinegar consists 7% of the acid).

1. Is there a trend in the values obtained in class? (there was a trend) Explain.

2. If regular vinegar costs $1.00/L & pickling vinegar costs $1.25/L, which is the best by? (i.e use a logical argument to determine which gives you the most acetic acid for your dollar)

3. Why do we only include the trials that agree withing 1% of each other? What is the difference between accuracy & precision for a series of measurements?

4. Identify 4 important sources of systematic (not human) error. Discuss why they are important.

5. If 0.25M potassium hydroxide solution was used as the titrant, instead of 0.1 M NaOH (aq), would your titration have use dmore or less itrant to reach the end point? Use a logical argument to determine how much more or less titrant would be required.

Selected business Emirates Airlines found in Garhoud, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

This section should present an analysis of the marketing, operations, and human resources for your selected business( Emirates Airlines).  It should include graphs and tables either embedded within the body text or in the appendices. For example, you could include a map showing where products or services are sold.

In addition, you could have an illustration of the supply chain system showing the sources of materials and labor used throughout the world. Make sure you provide the appropriate sources for material that is not original.

1. How does my business market their products or services?
2. How are prices established?
3. What are the criteria for selection of suppliers?
4. What are the wages of the employees? Competitive to similar businesses?
5. What is the culture of your business?

There are several sources from which the issues can be determined. They include business documents, textbooks, annual reports, business or government web sites, and published articles.

Please help.

Writing Classes I
Write a Java program containing two classes: Dog and a driver class Kennel.

A dog consists of the following information:
• An integer age.
• A string name. If the given name contains non-alphabetic characters, initialize to Wolfy.
• A string bark representing the vocalization the dog makes when they ‘speak’.
• A boolean representing hair length; true indicates short hair.
• A float weight representing the dog’s weight (in pounds).
• An enumeration representing the type of tail (LONG, SHORT, NONE).

A dog consists of the following methods.
• A default constructor.
• A constructor that takes a name as argument.
• A method private boolean validName(String) that returns true / false whether the given name contains non-alphabetic characters.
• humanAge that computes and returns the age of the dog in “human years.”
• speak returns the dog’s bark.

Each constructor should initialize all attributes to reasonable initial values.

The main method in the Kennel class should create several dogs with each constructor and output
their instance data using toString.

a. Production function can be defined as the transformation of scarce production resources into different types of goods and services meant to satisfy human wants. Given the following production function of the general form;

                y = f (x),

i.      Draw this production function showing its relationship with the Marginal and Average productivity curves.

                ii.     Clearly indicate the stages that portray the different efficient use of production resources and comment on each one of them.

                iii.    Specify which of the stages indicated in the question above is the economic stage of production and explain why?

                iv.   Define the above stages of production in terms of their elasticity of production.

                v.    Explain where diminishing returns begin?

b. The production of goods and services require the use of inputs or what is sometimes referred to as factors of production. The relationship between inputs and outputs is mathematically summarized in a production function. Given the production function below;

                y = 70 + 2x – 0.02x²

Derive the exact equations for; Marginal Physical Product MPP and Average Physical Product APP.

#8 The cost of hiring workers includes not only payments made directly to workers, that is, wages, but payments made on behalf of workers as well, such as contributions by employers to pension plans and to health-care insurance for employees. How would a decrease in the cost of employer-provided health insurance affect the economy?

#1.Suppose the people in a certain economy decide to stop saving and instead use all their income for consumption. They do nothing to add to their stock of human or physical capital. Discuss the prospects for growth of such an economy. 

#4. China’s annual rate of population growth was 1.2% from 1975 to 2003 and is expected to be 0.6% from 2003 through 2015. How do you think this will affect the rate of increase in real GDP? How will this affect the rate of increase in per capita real GDP? 

#10. Suppose that for some country it was found that its economic growth was based almost entirely on increases in quantities of factors of production. Why might such growth be difficult to sustain?
