3. How is the work of the OIE related to disease surveillance?

4. Why is the United States interested in developing disease surveillance systems in other countries?

5. comparing and contrasting disease surveillance in developed and developing countries.

 THOROUGHLY ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

Answer preview

The United States is responsible in protecting its citizens from diseases. In this case, therefore, the country carries out disease surveillance in other country in order to implement measures to be followed by all persons coming from affected countries into the USA. These measures help in preventing the spread of diseases into the country.

  1. Comparing and contrasting disease surveillance in developed and developing countries.

In developed countries, disease surveillance activities are more effective due to various factors such as good information processing technologies where diseases are noticed before they cause high damage. Also, timely information and good response team also makes it easier to recognize an impending health hazard. On the other hand, developing countries have less developed technologies such as laboratories for authenticating a health hazard. Also, there are less competent teams to handle surveillance cases.

Hence, to avoid the oversights seen in the above summarized popular media, a significant point essential to communicate accurately is the research methodology used. This is important since it helps the general audience understand the step-by-step measures taken during the study. In the process, it is essential to refer to empirical studies to justify the claims stated in the popular media. For instance, it would have been ideal for the author in the popular media to refer to Crockett et al.’s (2008) article to enhance the credibility of the information provided.

These will help determine whether the interventions being made are effective in preventing healthcare concerns and whether they can be integrated to come up with a better solution and prevention program (Mitton, Donaldson, Dionne, & Peacock, 2021). The officials will also determine the ease of implementing the interventions. In addition, public health officials will identify the economic and societal costs of the health issue. Economic costs include monetary costs, including medical expenses, and societal impacts, such as the impacts of the disease on individuals and families (Mitton et al., 2021). For instance, the health concern, if not prevented, will lead to high costs of treatment and also may impact an individual’s ability to work and lead an everyday life. In addition, the public officials will work with the stakeholders, including the community members and leaders, to determine the trending healthcare concerns

The implementation of the model embraces the need for the collaboration of healthcare partners in improving the state of health in the community. For instance, the partners share their ideas, views, resources, and unique research strengths through a joint effort to find viable solutions to the community’s problems. Similarly, the model help in addressing the issues facing the community, conducting research, and sharing the findings for the benefit of the neighborhood (Oetzel et al., 2018). To healthcare providers, implementing CBPR is crucial in contributing to knowledge development and acquisition, thus aiding in making informed decisions such as patient-centered interventions (Jull et al., 2017).

Global strategic marketing plan

/in /by

I have attached the same information in a word doc. Also, attached a template The formatting is weird in this text box.

Introduction

Marketing managers for global organizations are often asked to evaluate the feasibility of new products and services and predict their profitability for the organization. For this task, you will select a business that would like to develop new products and services in order to attain a competitive advantage in the global market. You will first consider the products and services the company currently offers and recommend new products and services that have the most potential for profitability based on your evaluation. You will then identify the target market and consider how you would reach that market using traditional mass media and social media for the launch and beyond.

For example, a natural foods company may need to begin offering an online ordering system to remain competitive. If you discover a market exists for a new natural food product that is desired in other countries but not readily available there, this might be a good product to recommend adding, but you should first determine whether it is feasible.

Select a business from one of the industries listed below:

Note: Please choose a business that can be adapted to a global market. Fictional names should be used. Also, organization-specific data, including financial information, should not be included but should be addressed in a general fashion as appropriate.

The information serves as the foundation for successful models and strategies in the business environment. Having extensive and accurate market research allows investors or companies to better understand their target audience and fill any gap in the market. Business entities should learn from their competitors and allocate their resources most profitably. Business entities must conduct market research to identify the market gaps and the best way to profitably combine their resources. Market research allows a deeper, more complete understanding of consumer values. Hence, this is more useful when developing products and creating market strategies. It allows the company to reveal the consumer needs, opinions, and interests about the current business entities in the market and products.

In addition, ethics help in ensuring that sensitive information is handled carefully, research is transparent, and held accountably. This is important for researchers as they build credibility on their work and hence can access more sources for funding for their current and future projects. In addition, by adhering to ethics, the researcher protects the rights and well-being of the participants of the study, ensuring they are protected from harm (Roth et al., 2018). During the training, ineffective communication among the team may cause a strain on the nursing research. The NIH requires the training faculty to contribute to formal and informal instructions for responsible research. Therefore, a lack of collaboration and inadequate

Case Study of the McDonald’s Corporation and J.C

/in /by

Action Items

  • Prepare a case study that requires critical thinking. The case study should include related questions and guiding answers.
    • J.C., Inc., had a franchise agreement with McDonald’s Corporation to operate McDonald’s restaurants in Lancaster, Ohio. The agreement required J.C. to make monthly payments to McDonald’s of certain percentages of the gross sales. If any payment was more than 30 days late, McDonald’s had the right to terminate the franchise. The agreement also stated that even if McDonald’s accepted a late payment, that would not “constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.”

Submission Instructions

Requirements: 500-1000

Answer preview

J.C Inc is lucky to have acquired a franchise of one of the largest fast food chains with an established brand name. To continue enjoying the competitive advantage of McDonald’s corporation, J.C should ensure that they have the knowledge and understanding of McDonald’s daily business operations and policies. The agreement was only terminated if J.C Inc had made the payments after being pardoned. Also, the company did not have a legal mandate to sue McDonald’s as JC Inc. did not act in utmost good faith. Both organizations, McDonald’s and J.C Inc, are responsible for observing the requirements for a healthy business relationship to exist between them (Franchising Laws, n.d.).

J.C. missed the deadline. McDonald’s demanded that J.C. vacate the restaurants, but J.C. refused. McDonald’s files a lawsuit alleging that J.C. had violated the franchise agreement. J.C claimed that McDonald’s had breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Which party should prevail and why?.

Grading Criteria

Answer preview

specific findings have been summarized. Even though McDonald’s should prevail in this case, the company also imposed several ethical issues (DeTienne, Ellertson, Ingerson, & Dudley, 2021). First, McDonald’s is aware of the worsening economic condition affecting businesses, hence interfering with many franchise agreements. Noting that the cost of producing fast foods and operating such businesses has increased in the past few years, and businesses are not making as much money as they used to make years before. That indicates that McDonald’s is selling a false vision to J.C that does not reflect the realities of the independent operators. Therefore, McDonald’s is supposed to adhere to the economic conditions considering J.C pays his gross sales percentages even if it is late.

Overview

For this assignment, you will select an appropriate appraisal tool (cohort studies, case control studies, systematic reviews, qualitative studies, et cetera) to analyze three published journal articles related to the topic of hypertension in the African American population. This assignment will help you to develop critical and analytical skills by methodically appraising the merits of published research. A sound appraisal will gather the most reliable information concerning a health problem, relevant research methodology, and conceptual frameworks.

In addition, you will write a brief summary on how you will use the information from these appraised journal articles in your proposed intervention study and determine how the interpretation of the research results described in the articles are affected by information bias, selection bias, and confounding.

Instructions

  1. Analyze three published journal articles related to the topic you selected for the assignment in Unit 3.
  2. Write a brief summary of how you will use the information from these appraised journal articles in your proposed intervention study and how the interpretation of the research results described in the articles are affected by information bias, selection bias, and confounding.
Document Format and Length
  • Use the Appraisal of Literature Template, attached.
  • Your appraisal document should be 2–4 pages in length.
Appraisal Requirements

The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Critical Appraisal of Published Literature Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.

  • Analyze research articles related to an epidemiological issue, using the appropriate appraisal tools.
  • Summarize how information from appraised journal articles could be integrated into a proposed intervention study.
  • Identify the public health data that highlight the severity and magnitude of a selected epidemiological issue.
  • Discuss how interpretation of results from scholarly articles are affected by information bias, selection bias, and confounding.
  • Write clearly and concisely in a logically coherent and appropriate form and style.

Submission Requirements

Proofread your assignment, before you submit it, to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it more difficult for them to focus on the substance of your appraisal.

Requirements: 2-4 pages- template attached

Answer preview

The articles are pretty informative on the subject of hypertension among African Americans. This information will be helpful in my proposal in several ways. The first article is very informative regarding the role of race in the fight against hypertension. The article enlightens readers on the various aspects of hypertension management, including counseling, adherence to medication, and confidence in self-management. Additionally, the second article enlightens on the risk factors, including anemia, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular and renal comorbidities. The third article mainly focuses on the prevalence of potentially inappropriate medication. It concludes that patients suffering from multiple chronic conditions are highly likely to receive prescriptions that may lead to harmful drug-drug interactions. These articles will be useful in guiding my research questions.

Jefferson, Rush, Lincoln, and Frederick Douglass’ Arguments

Thomas Jefferson receives recognition for his insistent opposition to slavery. In his writings, Jefferson argued that ” all men are equal. “He referred to slavery as a “hideous blot” and “moral depravity’’ (Fink Elman, 199). In his view, slavery presented an immense threat to American existence as a new country. To him, slavery violated the law of nature, which held that every person was entitled to a right to personal liberty. At the time of the revolution, Jefferson took an active role in formulating legislation that would abolish slavery in America. He drafted a law that banned the importation of slaves from Africa in 1778 in Virginia. He believed that slavery emancipation was a great component of the American democratic process.
