The Advantages of USA-Based Online Meditation Coaches

The Linnaean Cooperation for Studies in Sustainability, Health, and Nature Completed under the Linnaean Collaboration for Studies in Nature, Health, and Sustainability (from here on, the Linnaean Collaboration), this thesis's work is based on a research cooperation centered on the historic Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala University. Professor of environmental psychology erry Hartig and garden director Mats Block started the Linnaean Collaboration in 2010 as the Department of Psychology and the Department of Education moved to the newly constructed Blåsenhus campus. From the west, Blåsenhus views the New Botanic Garden; from the north, the Baroque Garden Viewed through classroom and office windows, as passed through in transportation to and from the workplace, and as settings for rest, conversation, studies, and contemplation, the relocation meant that thousands of students and staff of these major institutions gained daily connection with the gardens. Originally established as a resea

Lagos state was the capital city of Nigeria for 77 years from 1914, following amalgamation, to 1991 when the capital city moved to Abuja. Lagos is located in the south-western region of Nigeria which is predominantly occupied by Yoruba tribe. In addition, it has a very high integration of other ethnicities (Hausa and Igbo) due to rural-urban migration of individuals in 

search of better opportunities. Lagos is one of Nigeria’s 36 states and covers only 0.39% of the country’s total territorial land mass, thus making it the smallest state in the country geographically. Nonetheless, Lagos has the highest population density (21 million people in 3 577 and a 3.2% growth rate (Ministry of Economic Planning & Budget, 2014). In addition, 

Lagos has the busiest seaport in West Africa, spanning a 100km stretch of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. The city has evolved into three main districts: Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland and Sub-Urban Lagos. These districts have 20 local government areas (LGA) and 37 local council development areas (LCDA). Table 3.1 provides an overview of Lagos’ estimated 

Unlike other major cities in Nigeria

Lagos can be described as cosmopolitan. The city is home to every culture found in Nigeria and living conditions range from poor slums to affluent developed communities. Although Lagos has steadily evolved over the years, the most significant developments in terms of governance, infrastructure (health, education and transport), trade and industries have 

occurred within the last 15 years (2001 - 2016). The vision is that by 2025, Lagos would be considered Africa’s Model Megacity, a global economic and financial hub that is safe, secure, functional and productive. This vision is believed to be achievable through theAn SME in Nigeria is defined as a legitimate business entity with 1 to 49 employees and an annual 

turnover of less than 50 million Naira (158 000 USD) (SMEDAN & NBS, 2013). The contbution of SMEs in Lagos, as at 2016, is estimated to be in the region of 7.8 trillion Naira  billion USD). SMEs further assure the livelihood of approximately 5.7 million people employed by 3.4 million SMEs (Lawanson, 2010). This arguably represents over 70% of the working population of Lagos (Oni, 2016). SMEs exist in all sectors of the economy: as support 

Service providers to big organisations

as smaller competitors empowered by technology or simply as active businesses aimed at sustaining a living (BudgetIT, 2016). The primary challenges faced by the SMEs in Lagos are: poor resource management, a mainly unskilled workforce, poor access to finance, lacking infrastructure, inconsistencies in government policy and bureaucracy, unfair competition, 

multiple taxes and levies, inability to access modern technology, poor marketing strategies and non-availability of raw materials locally (Ngwu, 2005; Oni, 2016; BudgetIT, 2016). These challenges resonate with many other developing countries. Lagos state government has been supporting SMEs with funding and training. In an effort to stimulate job and wealth creation, a 

25 billion Naira Employment Trust Fund (ETF) for the funding and training of 100 000 emerging entrepreneurs, has also been initiated. Another ICTs generally signify technologies that offer access to information, through telecommunications. Embedded telecommunication technologies include the Internet, wireless networks, cell phones and other communication 

mediums. Over the past few decades, ICTs have provided society with a vast array of new communication capabilities (Good & Qureshi, 2009; Didi-quvane & Twinomurinzi, 2013a; Eze 

For example people can communicate

in real-time with others in different countries using technologies such as instant messaging, voice over IP (VoIP) and video messaging on social network platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Modern ICTs have created a global village in which people interact with their contemporaries across the world, as if they were merely living next door. For this reason, ICT 

is often viewed within the context of how modern communication technologies affect society (Kamal & Qureshi, 2009; Sun & Chen, 2006). One way to gauge ICT’s impact on society is to consider its influence on the way in which business is practised. In recent times, a business’ ability to interact with its environment and to respond rapidly and appropriately to 

environmental challenges has become largely dependent on the use of ICT (Good & Qureshi, 2009; Michiel, 2013). Mobile apps stand out as the type of ICT which facilitates all stakeholders’ (including customers, employers, suppliers, regulators, etc.) business interactions. Mobile applications, also known as mobile apps or apps, are small programmes 

Conclusion

These programmes offer functionalities by interfacing with other hardware components of the smart device in order to collect, retrieve or store data locally on the smart device, or virtually in the cloud (Young, 2015; Yang et al., 2014). Mobile appsprimarily rely on internet connectivity and cloud technologies. Technically, based on their architectural design, apps can be broadly grouped as: native apps, web apps or hybrid apps (Nayebi et al., 2012). Native apps are 

platform-specific, developed for use on specific platforms (like android, iOS and windows) or devices. Apps natively developed for android will not run on iOS and vice-versa. Web apps are usually built around mobile browsers which means they are not installed on the mobile device but could be accessed via the browser on the device. Web apps are driven by web technologies like Hyper Text Mark-up Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and 

JavaScript. The main advantage of web apps is their ability to update content without being constrained by the platform app stores, while their main disadvantage is the limitation in interface with the mobile device hardware. Hybrid apps tend to aggregate the features of native and web apps. These apps are built on web technologies, like web apps, but they are wrapped in a native container which interfaces with the mobile device hardware

People cannot see one another in the text-communication style used in practically every online support group. They could not even aware that someone is specifically present. Invisibility gives people the confidence to say things they might not otherwise be inclined to. Though there are some significant distinctions, this ability to remain hidden coincides with  anonymity, the hiding of identity. People may know a great lot about the identity of others in text communication, but they still cannot see or hear these individuals, hence enhancing the disinhibition effect (Suler, 2004b). Particularly in groups addressing personal issues impacting physical appearance or speech, group members do not have to worry about how they seem  or sound a particularly potent aspect of disinhibition in groups. Furthermore absent are the subtle and clear indicators of rejection and disinterest that would ordinarily prevent people: frowns, shaking heads, sighs, bored looks, or other such cues. In daily cont

Tips for Finding the Best Remote IT Support for Startups

The most positive part of remote work for E1 has been the fact that he does not have to commute to work, as well as the increased focus and uninterrupted work. The biggest challenge has been the lack of physical communication and even though E1 works as a programmer and says that it is not as big of a problem for him as it might be for others, E1 still said that: “Sometimes you need to sit as a group and talk about things. It’s a lot easier if you  can see each other, so I think that part is toughest” When asked about the biggest challenge E2 touched upon an issue that E1 also raised, that help, or assistance is slower when working remotely. E2 says that: “Well, I believe that the biggest challenge has been, for example, if you end up in a situation where you don’t know what to do, it takes a long time before you get  a response in the chat to get help. Instead of being able to go directly to someone at the office to get help because you know that person can solve it, I think it just t

I don’t, I try to move more, since I know that’s something that there is less of when you work from home. I think the physical goes hand in hand with the mental, if you exercise you feel better.” E2’s manager has check-ins during the weekly meetings, where her manager makes sure that they are all doing well. There is also an email sent out where they can confirm that  they are doing well. According to E2 the check-ins concern both the physical and the mental. They want status on how everyone is doing mentally in case someone is feeling bad or worse because they miss the social. Also, if you are sick, they want to know, so that you aren’t working. Because it’s easier to work from home if you are sick, even though you shouldn’t,  since you are already at home and you don’t have to go to work” When asking E3 about the way she is handling her mental and physical health she laughs and answers: “We will see when this is over, I think. What I find difficult is that you feel that you have to s
