Research paper is to apply course material to a real-world situation, explore realistic options, analyze what happened, and determine how to create an outcome for the identified conflict.

Conflict Resolution: Uber & Taxi Services

Topic will focus on the ongoing conflict between Uber and Taxi services. The taxi industry has been hit hard by ride-hailing services. But, taxi services are missed by those who still depend on taxi services in areas like airports, train stations, street corners, etc.; especially during the pandemic, when Uber-drivers weren’t performing, and price-points sky rocket during peak hours.
The intent of this research paper is to apply course material to a real-world situation, explore realistic options, analyze what happened, and determine how to create an outcome for the identified conflict.
Must include summary of situation , detailed analysis of the topic with results of the analysis, and detailed recommendation on how you would develop a Win-Win outcome.
More emphasis should be placed on the process for preparing, structuring, and handling the conflict than on the final outcome.

Outline and discuss the reasons why antibiotic resistance occurs.

Antibiotic treatment of bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance

We are focusing on antibiotic treatment of bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance

How are these linked?

For your report,would like you to evaluate the reasons for antibiotic resistance and how this can be solved.

Some areas to explore are:

i) Outline and discuss the reasons why antibiotic resistance occurs.

ii) The mechanisms that bacteria used to overcome antibiotics.

iii) Why little progress has been made post 2000 to develop new antibiotics.

iv) Strategies to overcome antibiotic resistance.

v) Issues faced if newer treatments are not developed.

Include specific examples to illustrate your points. The more you support statements with evidence from the primary literature, the more robust your points will be.

Expected word count is 2000 words (+ or – 10%).

You are free to include illustrative figures and to summarise data in tables/graphs (up to a maximum of 5).
