MAIN OBJECTIVE

Based on your research and tacit knowledge, you are to develop a Project (NOT an essay) that will set a recommendation for businesses, industries or even local government on the specific country natural resource you selected, to advise them on how to make better and more sustainable use of that specific resource. You should set the sustainability challenge that you are addressing within its historical context.

My topic is Tea in Kenya.

This is supposed to be a project (not an essay) maximum 1500 words long, with the following INDICATIVE structure (the word limit given for each section is also indicative):
i. Executive summary (the basis for your presentation) _ 200 words

ii. Key words (a selection of 5 words that you consider fully describe the topic and
your findings)

iii. Overview of resource/business and historical context of the sustainability challenge
(500 words)

iv. Development of the idea and brief justification of your recommendations (which can
be presented as bullet points) (600 words)

v. Reflective analysis and Concluding remarks (200 words)

 
CASE STUDY: BLACKBERRY HILL FARM

Water Workshop

Please note that these exercises are designed to enrich your learning
experience and may sometimes involve concepts that extend the content and
detail in lectures.
Q1. The Haber-Bosch process synthesizes of ammonia from atmospheric
nitrogen and is used to produce fertilizers.
and then answer the questions:
(i) How has the implementation of the H-B process saved lives?
(ii) Why was the invention of the H-B process thought necessary in the
context of late 19thC agriculture?
(iii) What are some of the deleterious environmental side effects of the
H-B process?
Q2. How does urban sprawl increase nutrient loads to local water bodies
such as rivers, lakes and coastal waters?
Q3.
(i) Explore why Cyanobacterial blooms worldwide increasing in recent
decades, for example in the Murray River ?
(ii) Outline the processes which contribute to the creation of a coastal
‘dead zone’.

Contaminated Soil, and Contaminated Water

Scenario:

Once causation has been determined, epidemiological principles can be used to lessen risk by considering the policies that lead to unnecessary exposures.

Centervale’s landfill facility has accepted, with the town’s approval, contaminated soil from the Middle Earth Energy Corporation. The landfill is located above ground and the operators plan on selling the soil to small farms in the county.

The soil is known to be contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and lead that exceed the limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In the past, the EPA has discovered several leaks in the landfill’s liner.

The landfill is located above the town’s main aquifer, which supplies well water to 10,000 residents who live in either Simon Township (ST) or Diamond Township (DT). In Taylor Township (TT), 750 residents use both well water and Metropolis water for small farms. The other residents only use well water.
Directions

Research the public health implications of water contamination. Use information from the EPA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and National Institutes of Health (NIH). Respond to the following:
1.Identify and define all exposure and health risks from PCBs and lead.
2.Develop a dose-response assessment curve for adults and children for PCBs and lead.
3.3. Calculate the proportion of people in Centervale who are exposed to well water (i.e., water from the aquifer) and Metropolis water. Show your work.

You should utilize at least 2 scholarly sources beyond the course readings in your research. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Write a 4–5-page report in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M4_A2.doc.

By Week 4, Day 7, deliver your assignment to the M4: Assignment 2 Dropbox..

Topic: Grain Size Distribution
part B

this is assignment is Part B and it following for Part A. Please read it so you can know which service provider Gap is weak which will be addressed in Part B. Also, I upload excel sheet where grade put and you have to look at file.

your task in part B is to write about weak area or identify service provider Gap. you don’t have to look at all weak area of the business but you may choose 1 or 2 gaps and make you discussion.

In addition,
Use service mapping/blueprinting to visualise the service process and highlight how the identified provider gap impacts on the customer experience. Your map could be informed by you and/or your partner actually experiencing the service gap. Else undertake appropriate research to better understand these gaps and document the research process and key findings. Your map should indicate the different interactions within every ‘touchpoint’ you had during this process. Remember that such interactions occur in service systems, which include:
• physical and/or virtual evidences
• employees
• fellow customers

Based on your service map describe at least one (1) aspect/touchpoint/interaction you think is particularly important to be improved and justify why you think so. Your decision needs to be evidence-based, which means that you need to refer to appropriate service marketing concepts.

I will upload all slides soyou have a look and check that You might particularly incorporate the following concepts into your analysis:
• the specification of customer-defined service standards (Topic 5).
• the elements of the service offering including the servicescape and the roles of employees and customers (Topics 6 & 7).
• the alignment of background with front-line processes as well as the sequence of the service process (Topics 6 & 7).
• quality management and building customer relationships (Topics 4 & 9).
• capacity and demand issues (Topic 8).
• service culture and leadership (Topic 10).

Based on your critical analysis, make detailed recommendations. Finally, visualise your recommendations in a revised service map.

Below is structure of the assignment part B: and please put headings for each points and sub headings.

1. Executive summary
2. Visualisation of existing service process including identified provider gap
3. 3. Evaluation of ‘touchpoints’ including interactions with physical and/or virtual evidences, employees, and fellow customers.
4. Justification of particular service area to be improved.
5. Recommendations for service design or new service development.
6. Visualisation of existing service processes including the recommendations
7. References
8. Joint reflections (see page 3 of this document for more details)
