A treatment in search of a disease? Challenges in mindfulness research and practice

‘Mindfulness’ has become a mainstream component of American culture and a successful business worth more than 1 billion dollars. Born out of Buddhist contemplative traditions that reached the West in the mid-1960s, secular mindfulness programs have spread both geographically (to the US and Europe) and socially (to healthcare, academia, politics, the military, and finance). The diffusion of mindfulness practice to domains that are culturally and socially so different from its original Buddhist context has had important consequences. This manuscript will examine some of these consequences as well as some challenges generated by the encounter between the American culture and Eastern millennial contemplative traditions. With the purpose of increasing awareness about these issues and to generate a debate within the mindfulness community, some suggestions on how to face such challenges are then offered to mindfulness researchers, instructors, and health care providers interested in alleviating the suffering of their patients using mindfulness meditation.

Financial statements analysis and investment decisions in nigerian banks (a study of diamond bank plc)

The annual financial report provided by the accounting system is considered the main source of information for investment decision making. It is therefore important for the banking sector to fully disclose matters concerning their operations. Hence, the validity and accuracy of the decisions depend on the proper analysis of financial statements. Investment decision makers rely on information obtained from financial statements to predict profit margins, Return on capital employed, return on investments, etc. Without financial statements, it will be difficult to determine the profit and evaluation of the performance of the banking sector and companies.

How to Effectively Use Economic Decision-Making Tools in Project Environments and Project Life Cycle

Project management decisions are mostly made based on money. Now, a business's worth and profit are taken into consideration when making technical decisions. Over 80% of the United States GDP is derived from projects that emphasize money as being an essential component involved in the process. On the other hand, all other aspects of a project are becoming more complex, such as equipment installation, the design and manufacturing process, renovation, and replacement. Thus, these factors must be emphasized when making decisions, as well. The private sector and federal institutions view projects as being the newest avenue for creating profits and keeping the economy afloat. As a result, project management should be considered to be an essential component, because it can recognize citizen-paid taxes and can avoid wasting resources. This study will begin with a discussion of how vital economics can be to the project management and the project environment. Second, this study will address the various kinds of useful economic decisions and decision-making methods.

Problems and Prospects: Public Health Regulation of Dietary Supplements.

Dietary supplements are a global business worth more than US$100 billion annually. These supplements are taken by up to 50% of adults and perhaps one-third of children in economically advanced economies. Definitions of dietary supplements differ from country to country, and regulation is generally lax and often seems to be directed more toward promoting commerce than protecting public health. Supplements may directly cause toxic reactions or may interact with other supplements or pharmaceuticals. Some supplements are found to have been contaminated with heavy metals, and others do not contain the expected quantities of active ingredients. In general, supplements are not needed except in cases of established deficiencies, and excess of some nutrients can increase cancer rates. There are important public health reasons for taking some supplements, including folate and iodine in pregnancy. This review discusses the public health concerns associated with dietary supplements and suggests directions for further regulation.

PZ Wilmar and palm oil expansion to West Africa

Synopsis In 2014, PZ Wilmar announced a new oil palm business worth $650 million in Cross River State, which would aggressively expand Nigeria’s palm oil production. In July 2015, a year after the plan was announced, a report jointly released by Friends of the Earth US and Environmental Rights Action Nigeria alleged that Wilmar was not complying with Nigerian laws, and accused them of human rights violations, environmental destruction, fraud, and land grabbing. The multifaceted nature of the “Cross River State crisis” permits “close-ups” from different vantage points to analyze the economic, environmental, social, and governance implications of palm oil expansion from a corporate sustainability perspective. Research methodology The case was researched utilizing secondary data, all materials are readily available to the public. There is no disguise of any actual person or entity and no relationship between the authors and the organizations or individuals mentioned in the case. Relevant courses and levels The case is best used at graduate level. It is very well suited for a MBA-level sustainability, business and society, or corporate social responsibility, or business ethics courses. Theoretical bases The case is grounded on the stakeholder theory, yet offering a fresh perspective, leveraging on the uniqueness of the Nigerian context. The authors argue that, while the assessment of the stakeholder salience of environmental groups operating in Nigeria might be different vis-à-vis other countries with sounder institutional environments, the normative question on whether the company should address these claims persists. The authors also draw from the social movements literature and bring forth the idea that the characteristics of the Nigerian context may jeopardize the prospects of success of adversarial tactics such as the issuing of lawsuits and extensive media exposure, which have been deemed effective elsewhere.
