Structural and agent-based explanations serve as notable approaches that have been constantly used in the comprehensive analysis of international politics. Both structural and agent-based explanation of outcomes offers lenses through which can be used to interpret political outcomes when they occur. Structural explanations always incorporate systemic factors it considers elements not limited to power distribution, economic structures, institutions, and cultural norms. These elements display the behavior of different nations and factors that result in opportunities within international politics. For example, the balance of power theory in a structural-based explanation highlights the Cold War bipolarity which was a result of the structural dynamics between two superpowers who were fighting for influence, superiority, and dominance (Ikenberry, 1996). Importantly, agent-based explanations focus majorly on the actions and decisions of individual actors. These individual actors can be states, leaders, or non-governmental institutions. This political structure gives more emphasis on the contribution of these actors in designing international outcomes. Major consideration is made on preferences, beliefs, and strategies that influence prevailing political events (Lecture Note 8).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK and Germany responded in different ways to, with differing fiscal and monetary policies to contain the impacts of the worldwide disaster. The UK quickly implemented fiscal policies, such as grants and the furlough scheme, in addition to the Bank of England's tight monetary policies. On the other hand, Germany placed a strong emphasis on fiscal assistance through large stimulus plans, and the European Central Bank increased monetary support. A closer look at the effects reveals subtle differences: Germany placed more of an emphasis on long-term fiscal support in order to achieve sustained recovery, while the UK's quick action offered immediate relief. The implementation of policies is hampered by changing health crises, unstable economic conditions, and other factors. In response to the containment and mitigation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK government moved quickly to implement a number of policies designed to lessen the immediate effects on households and businesses.

The supermarket sector in the UK is a prime example of dynamic competition characterized by unique traits that define pricing tactics and profitability. This discussion examines critical characteristics that impact the industry and how they relate to the pricing strategies and profitability of businesses. Price wars are more likely to occur due to industry features like market concentration and price sensitivity of consumers, which are sparked by fierce competition amongst giants fighting for market share. However, because of differences in their strategic positioning and ability to withstand price fluctuations, not all businesses suffer the same consequences. Firstly, the UK supermarket industry is characterized by intense competition, with a small number of dominant players controlling the majority of the market. This industry is shaped by several factors, including consumer behavior, supermarket positioning, and market concentration. First, the oligopolistic structure of the UK supermarket industry is demonstrated by the market concentration, with a few major chains holding a significant share of the market, including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, and Morrisons (Hassan, 2012, p. 69).

In determining whether Paul's employer had a legitimate reason to fire him after he slapped a coworker, the court would probably take into account a number of important elements ingrained in Canadian employment law. First, the type and gravity of the misbehavior would be examined. Although workplace physical altercations are a serious matter, the court may consider other relevant circumstances. A number of considerations are necessary, including whether the slap was the result of a planned action or a spontaneous reaction, how far the verbal argument escalated before the slap, and any mitigating circumstances. For example, the court's decision might be affected if there had been previous disputes or if Paul had been provoked. Thus, the Canadian Labour Relations states that dismissing an employee is not as simple as many employers think. If employee dismissals are not managed properly from the outset, they can become extremely complicated to employers.

Greek mythology dates back to more than 2,000 years. The majority of Greek mythology tales are still used in modern speech and vocabulary. For example, we talk about the risks associated with opening Pandora's box (Cambridge, MA: Barefoot Books, 1970). We describe a person's weakness as their Achilles heel. We also describe a difficult activity as Herculean task. Similarly, one is said to possess the Midas touch when they can make things work out well. Among the most remarkable tragic love stories in Greek mythology is the one about the musician Orpheus and his wife Eurydice. The narrative tells of poetry, death, the afterlife, and love that perished from fear and uncertainty. For most of us, life is managed by practicality and quantification. A great story is a kind of vast, invisible temple where this process takes place; it's a temple free of creeds and dogmas, but it's a place where we can face our biggest questions. Such stories have the power to shape our lives, our interactions with one another, and even our perceptions of the outside world.

A significant turning point in the history of this once-loved fashion and homeware brand occurred with Next's acquisition of Cath Kidston. Cath Kidston's story, which began in 1993 as a small Notting Hill shop, is an example of creative vision and entrepreneurial spirit. But beneath its pretty floral designs and global growth is a story tainted by mishandled strategy, shifting leadership, and an identity crisis that ultimately resulted in administration (Sensi, 2023). This case study explores the key events, leadership changes, and market issues that led to Cath Kidston's downfall. The paper will deep into the company's rise and fall. When Cath Kidston reached its peak, her vibrant designs captured the hearts of many customers all over the world. However, as the brand developed, it had to deal with the unforgiving fact that its target market was split. One of the main challenges was the contrast between ardent supporters and fierce critics, which some compared to the "love it or loathe it" feeling.

While considering the US cellular market, I believe the most appropriate pricing strategy for Virgin Mobile will be option 3 “A Whole New Plan.” By considering this pricing structure, Virgin Mobile will preserve buckets and volume discounts while charging a lower fee per minute. Consumers will get the best deal if the pricing is below industry average, and the company will appear more affordable and straightforward. Virgin Mobile will also be in a better position to provide alluring off-peak hours as a result of this. Furthermore, this pricing plan will have less hidden costs, which will help clients develop a long-lasting perception of the company and its products. The rationale for such a pricing strategy is that the demographic of 14- to 24-year-olds doesn’t have the financial ability to pay costly and luxurious cellular packages. As such, Virgin Mobile's inexpensive price strategy will appeal to this target group more. Similarly, it will allow Virgin Mobile to gain customers when they are young and keep them for later years, enabling the company to develop a long-term customer base for its goods.

Manasiah Akpaliapik is one of Canada's most renowned modern Inuit artists. Conceived in the far north and forced into a residential school as a child, he grieved the demise of his wife and two kids in an inferno when he was just 25. I have no data on how these atrocities may have informed the Screaming Faces art, albeit it is clear that he can convey raw pain with immense artistic masterpieces. Akpaliapik was devoted to honing his creative skills and attended Red River College in Winnipeg, MB, prior to indulging in an apprenticeship in Montreal, OC. His early arts were highly comprehensive and descriptive, albeit his technical skills augmented his style changed to include more details of Inuit legends and myths. Akpaliapik represents human attachment to animals, Inuit legends and features of shamanism, as well as modern social issues that threaten Inuit societies. Akpaliapik’s art has appeared in several group and solo exhibitions in public and commercial arts across Canada and overseas.

The art given offers fascinating intersection of mathematics, art, and programming, where the author wanted to generate visual representations of mathematical sequences using Python's "turtle" module. To get results, several key steps were involved, including dividing a circle into discrete points, applying modular arithmetic to the numbers in a sequence, and connecting these points to form complex patterns. As such, the art teaches us how we can beautifully encapsulate the fundamental nature of symmetry and modular arithmetic in common mathematical sequences design a captivating art. This art by Priyav Kaneria is a digital art and algorithms form of Fibonacci Sequence of sequence symmetry in asymmetry I-VI.

It is my first time glancing over Screaming Faces, and I already love the architecture of it. The sculpture is composed of a pile of hooded faces carved from grey stone, with white ivory eyes and teeth, nabbed in a noiseless scream (Akpaliapik, 1991). Manasiah Akpaliapik is one of the Canada’s most celebrated modern Inuit artists. In most of the paintings, Akpaliapik illustrates human connection to animals, Inuit legends and shamanism, as well as social issues threatening Inuit societies. He also integrates facets of his individual narrative, seeing carving a healing practice.
