The gender pay gap refers to the variation in the mean hourly earnings of all women and men across a workforce. According to 2015 statistics, the median gender pay gap for the entire UK is 19.3%. These differences are largely associated with the variations between women and men in terms of their skillsets. Besides, rigidities in the labor market could also be blamed for the situation. This disparity is detrimental to the country’s economic growth and hence needs to be bridged. Moreover, closing the gap is necessary to ensure social justice for women as the pay inequality limits their choices and adversely impacts their lifetime earnings. Several legislative, collective, and voluntary strategies have been formulated to nurture an inclusive and gender-equal labor market. Elevation of the minimum wage floors, reinforcement of the legal and collective regulation, extension of the gender pay audits and action plans, development of progression chances in female-dominated job sectors, and facilitation of women’s retention in and return to work are some of the measures that have been taken in this direction .

Essentially, the “lasting interest” denotes the prevalence of a long-term connection between the direct investor and the direct investment entity and a considerable extent of influence on the management or running of the latter. FDI entails both the original transaction that establishes the affiliation between the investor and the entity as well as all ensuing capital dealings between them and among associated entities, both incorporated and unincorporated.

Of all mental disorders, depression is the most common, and up to 300 million persons suffer from the ailment around the world, according to the WHO (“Depression”). Symptoms of the disease vary depending on the condition and include loss of interest in the environment and usual activities, consistently low mood, reduced or excessive sleep and appetite, and, in severe cases, suicidal thoughts. However, numerous drugs to manage depression have been developed. The drugs have evolved from iproniazid, isoniazid, and imipramine used in the 1950s (Lopez-Munoz and Alamo 1563), to current medication such as inhibitors that prevent the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine.

Others are limited in terms of practicability due to their ambiguity. Utilitarianism is one of the most powerful and persuasive moral theories of the 19th century. John Stuart Mills was a prominent philosopher from Britain who made a great contribution to social theory, political philosophy, and ethics, among other fields of the study (Brink, 1). Mill’s utilitarianism, moral theory, is popular in academics. This has made the theory to receive praises and criticism in equal measure. This term paper discusses Mills, utilitarianism theory, its application in real life situation and justification.

How can you test the breaking point of a substance or a material? Engineers have developed several tests to measure the breaking point of various elements by assessing what amount of pressure can be applied to a substance to cause it to break or become brittle. Flexural tests are one kind of analysis used to measure the flexibility of the material. A flexural test measures the flexural strength of material or fabrics, assessing the flexing modulus, of materials by applying as much pressure at the ends of the element with another opposing force being applied at the center of the material being tested (Hirohide 23). Flexural strength is thus defined as the maximum amount of pressure of a fiber or fabric used to the outermost parts of the structure in comparison to the amount of force it can hold.
