Resistance in a Conductor: The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is the opposition to the passage of an electric current through that conductor. Electrical resistance shares some conceptual parallels with the mechanical notion of friction. The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm (Ω).An object of uniform cross section has a resistance proportional to its resistivity and length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. All materials show some resistance‚ except

Antibiotic resistance In recent years a challenge to the effective treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by microbes is antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR results in reduced effectiveness of antibiotics‚ making the treatment of patients very difficult and sometimes impossible. The impact on especially susceptible patients is most evident‚ resulting in prolonged illness and increased mortality. The total problem caused by AMR on medical field in general and healthcare sector

Resistance to Change Introduction – Change Concept Resistance to change is a response given by individuals or groups when they perceive that a change occurring is a threat to them‚ (“Resistance to Change”‚ 2002). Resistance to change from employees can cause the change initiative to fail as a result of not properly implementing the change strategy. Approach – Change Agent In order to implement change effectively in an organization‚ it is very important for a change agent to know the signs of

Change they say is the only constant thing. It is however a big wonder why many people still resist change even in large institutions. Resistance to change has therefore had a negative connotation because it portrays people avoiding the inevitable and not wanting to improve or face challenges. The essence of this paper is to peel the outward negative layer of resistance to change and dig deeper to reveal how it can be managed and transformed into a positive thing which may avail managers the opportunity

Killer at large: Antibiotic Resistance Remember that teacher who would make students use antibacterials on the way in and out of the classroom? Scientist and medical professionals have now realized that all antibacterials‚ antibiotics and antimicrobials are contributing to a large complication that may make it so no bacteriums can be killed. Since the creation of antibiotics in 1896‚ doctors and medical practitioners have been able to save hundreds of millions of

Resistance to Change Organizational change is the movement of an organization away from its present state and toward some desired future state to increase its effectiveness. (George et al‚ pg 567) Organizations need to change in the modern day market place. New technologies‚ globalization‚ foreign trade‚ investments and constantly shifting marketplaces demand the need for flexibility‚ adaptation‚ and change. The downside to this is in an organizations employees. People by nature resist change

an end‚ the historical evidence does not support the claim that there was widespread support for colonial rule. Indeed‚ there is also considerable evidence of strong resistance to colonial rule. African societies responded to the occupation of their native lands via European powers in different ways. The African resistance to colonialism was the inevitable result of the clash of cultures that arose as European settlers competed for territory with indigenous people and began to enforce
