Diversity index

A significant issue at Healthco is the lack of communication between management and employees. The managers are not effectively communicating with the clerks, this is shown through Healthco employees being informed of policy rate changes 15 minutes before the offices closed on the day before the rate rise, because of this the clerks lacked the knowledge to inform and answer any questions members had regarding the new policy rates, this caused the members to become aggressive and abusive towards…

Affirmative action, by definition, is an action or policy favoring those who tend to suffer from discrimination, especially in relation to employment or education. Using varying instruments and policies, Affirmative Action aims to help underrepresented groups have a better job opportunities or college admissions. Generations of people have been disadvantaged by institutionalized discrimination and one way to remedy this is to place a policy that evens out the playing field. There has been…

Similarity indices and genetic distance The overall mean similarity index for Brassica oleracea accessions calculated based on all AFLP fragments amplified using Nei’s (1978) similarity index, ranged from 0.297 to 0.999 with an average of 0.744 (Table 3). The highest similarity indices (0.999) and the lowest genetic distance (0.001) were between the accessions of the same crop variety and geographical region, e.g. spring cabbage HRIGRU4564 and HRIGRU4571 from Cork. Accessions having close…

Introduction Xerox trusts that diversity qualities measures up to advancement that at last prompts achievement. Individual contrasts became possibly the most important factor when Anne Mulcahy, previous CEO and Chairwoman of Xerox talked about diversity qualities. Acquiring individuals who think differently and work hard together, offers the organization some assistance with growing with imaginative thoughts as every individual includes his or her own point of view all while having a typical…

Introduction Slope remains as one of the most important factors in the variation of growth and diversity among trees due to the effects of run-off, evapotranspiration, and water penetration. Its common knowledge that vegetation needs water to grow and reproduce but on the steepest slopes the support for plant life is very low. Steep slopes produce high levels of soil erosion that results in a lost of organic materials and essential nutrients needed for plant growth. Along with slope is exposure…

developed, or the absence of, traits that facilitate female mate choice before copulation (Pollux et al., 2014). The matrotrophy index, which is the estimated dry mass of the offspring at birth divided by the dry mass of the egg at fertilization, is a measurement of post-fertilization maternal care (Pollux et al., 2014). For example, placentotropic species have matrotrophy index greater than 1, because the embryo utilizes and grows in the uterus, exploiting maternal resources (Pollux et al.,…

papers emphasized the importance of the genetic diversity of Zostera marina, an ecologically important plant for coastal ecosystem to survive adverse environmental conditions arising from climate change, catastrophic events (storm, heat waves) and anthropogenic activities (pollution, eutrophication, habitat destruction etc). Ehlers et al. (2008) talked about the effects of temperature or heat waves on Z. marina and the significance of genetic diversity in Z. marina populations to adapt changing…

his seven year research, Hofstede compared cultural dimensions in forty countries and divided this into four (or sometimes five) areas that summarized each culture. The dimensions included: Power Distance Index (PDI), Individualism (IDV) (opposite collectivism), the Uncertainty Avoidance Index (UAI), and Masculinity (MAS) (opposite femininity), and Long-term Orientation (LTO). Power distance refers to the extent that less powerful members accept and expect inequality. Individualism is the degree…

Genomic Diversity Genetic diversity provides variation in which that selection can act upon and it determines the response of population towards environmental change. Therefore, knowledge in genetic diversity is crucial for developing breeding strategies and also for the management of endangered species. Understanding the determinant genetic diversity is also essential for resolving the long-standing riddle in population genetics, the disproportionately narrow range of the genetic diversity…

Island and Redang Island; mountains like Mount Kinabalu, Mount Jerai, Mount Tahan and Titiwangsa Mountains. In year 2015, CNN made a report of ‘12 magical Malaysian rainforest retreats’. Travellers are attracted to Malaysia, a country rich in bio-diversity. Tourism not only increases environmental preservation and conservation awareness, but also contributes to the nation…
