Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

<em>Study Design - Partially double-blinded study</em>

  • The <u>cohort study </u>will be composed of 80 adults (aged ≥18 years) with a clinical diagnosis of constant coughing present as a result of a cold, which would be measured by semiautomated ambulatory cough monitor.
  • This study will be divided into an experimental group and a control group:
  1. No medication (natural drops; <em>e.g.</em> water; saline solution) - <em>Control group </em>
  2. Cough treatment - <em>Experimental group</em>
  • Data to be collected:

Participant cough will be recorded <u>every hour</u> (until 8 hours are reached) for two consecutive days (for repetitions) in both groups using semiautomated ambulatory cough monitor and analyzed statistically.

  • Observations:

Experimental group: <u>If coughing is significantly (statistical analysis) reduced within the 8 hours </u>(<em>after repetitions</em>) and a symptom improvement is observed, <u>the hypothesis that cough drops are effective is valid</u>.

Control group: To determine that cough drops treatment is effective, the no-treatment group should score worst and participant should not show significant improvement.

*<em>In scientific experiments, repetitions are important to prevent bias and error.</em>

zaharov [31]

Answer:

let's take the example of Walmart, which has the large presence in the United States and is an important part of the Consumer Services Industry.

Explanation:

Walmart began with just one store but has grown all over the country to many unique aspects of the American economy and demographics. The United States, in contrast to what many people assume, is a very diverse country.

The culture of New England is very different from that of the Bible belt. Similarly, the African American culture of Georgia is different from the casual California where there is a vast Hispanic population.

Walmart saw an opportunity in this diversity and has grown by catering to needs of all these consumers. Communities with highly dense Hispanic population stocked food items that were very different than can be found in Jewish neighbourhoods and vice verse.

This enabled Walmart to connect with each community and grow with them over the generations.

In all this, Walmart prides itself in providing benefits to US army veterans and provides jobs to women from low-income backgrounds and the disabled.

In all this, Walmart does face a number of different challenges, including:

A slowing economy can hit the profits of the company

Competition from other companies such as Costco and even international players like Aldi and Lidl can decrease their market share

Online rivals such as Amazon have long been identified as a threat to the company and is one of the biggest challenges facing the consumer service industry.

Companies like Amazon are not only involved in retail but also in selling movies, music, etc that can completely challenge the consumer service sector
