Cause Bacterial meningitis can become serious even causing death in as little as a couple of hours. Those who are affected by this disease can recover for it. However‚ those who are unfortunate may have permanent disabilities including: hearing loss‚ brain damage‚ learning disabilities‚ etc. caused by the infection. There are a number of bacteria’s that result in meningitis such as: streptococcus pneumoniae‚ group B streptococcus‚ Neisseria meningitides‚ Haemophilus influenza‚ and listeria monocytogenes

The Phillips Curve and the Philippines According to Cristeta B. Bagsic‚ the Phillips Curve “depicts the trade-off between inflation and unemployment rate” (“The Phillips Curve and Inflation Forecasting: The Case of the Philippines”). Nowadays‚ the relationship depicted by the Phillips curve is specified in the following equation: πt = πe – γ(UR – UR*) + v where πt is the inflation rate‚ πe is the expected inflation‚ γ is a parameter‚ UR is the unemployment rate‚ UR* is the natural rate of unemployment

Spotlight on the theory Indifference Curve Analysis The aim of indifference curve analysis is to analyse how a rational consumer chooses between two goods. In other words‚ how the change in the wage rate will affect the choice between leisure time and work time. Indifference analysis combines two concepts; indifference curves and budget lines (constraints) The indifference curve An indifference curve is a line that shows all the possible combinations of two goods between which a person is

Given a certain event/scenario‚ (a) analyze the curve/s affected‚ shifts or movements and the direction‚ and (b) effect to equilibrium price (P*) and equilibrium quantity (Q*) Scenario 1 a. Prices of optical drives suddenly increase The production cost has increased so the supply decreases and eventually the price go up. The supply curve shifts to the left. b.

UNDERSTANDING LEARNING CURVES Jenny Wilson is a buyer at Flextron‚ a manufacturer of large industrial pumps. She has a requirement for a customized subassembly that a preferred supplier‚ Vistral‚ is building for the first time. She is preparing for negotiation with Vistral‚ where a key issue will be the price of the subassembly. Given the unique nature of this subassembly‚ Jenny expects to incorporate into the contract price reduction targets based on learning curve estimates. While

Movement along the demand curve: There are many factors determining demand- the prime one being price. Price and quantity are the two components which form the demand curve. Any change in these two variables doesn’t cause a shift in the demand curve but a movement along what is already existent. When prices vary‚ quantity is altered. Usually‚ applying the law of demand‚ more will be consumed when prices drop and vice versa. When more goods are consumed due to a drop in prices there is an expansion
