Using one example, discuss to what extent the opening and the closing of rent gaps is a social, political, and market process.

Q10: Blackstone’s programme of post-financial-crisis housing development, epitomised as ‘buy it, fix it, sell it’, represents an approach that constitutes a rent-gap strategy. Using one example, discuss to what extent the opening and the closing of rent gaps is a social, political, and market process.

 

-reference to rent gap graph and land value taxes

  • -production (opening and closing) of a rent gap: Cyclical process (since land values are not fixed; process of disinvestment and reinvestment)
  • Immediately after construction, capitalized ground rent is usually high
  • Property price (made up of ground rent and built asset value)
  • Property may depreciate in value over time (so u cant capitalise as much as the ground rent) and so (actual) ground rent which can be capitalized upon decreases accordingly
  • Investment in repair and maintenance becomes financially unsound (since actual ground rent too low)
  • Higher income tenants move away (disinvested area), replaced by lower income tenants. Displacement.
  • Landlords undermaintain properties, collecting as much rent as possible while investing as little as they can – ‘milking’ properties (Slater, 2017)

 

-Investment when there is a big enough gap b/n the Current ground rent which can be capitalized upon (in the land’s present use) vs. potential ground rent (land put to a higher use)

Once the gap b/n capitalised g rent and potential ground rent is big enough, the rent gap can be closed since investment has been de-risked to the extent it is worth investing

Present use vs. ‘Higher use’

Use value vs. Exchange value. If the exchange value of a better use is higher, it opens up the rent gap and gentrification (in this case it is investment in individual properties) can occur.

After development, the capitalised ground rent line goes back up to meet the potential ground rent line

 

-MUST refer to social, political and market processes

Scenario

The online fast fashion apparel sector is currently undergoing a deep transformation fuelled by customers’ changing habits and new digital technologies (Fernandez et al., 2021). With online fast fashion delivery, customers can stay home and have their orders delivered right to their doorstep using a wide range of delivery services [Lagorio and Pinto, 2020]. With the increasing use of e-commerce, there are a number of number of factors that influence customers’ choice of brands when shopping online for fast fashion apparel. For example:

  • Family, social class, cultures, and subculture contribute towards purchasing decisions of online fast fashion apparel customers (Wood and Hayes, 2012).
  • Sources of online information also influence product and customer characteristics leading to purchase decision-making of online fast fashion apparel customers (Septianto et al., 2018).
  • Marketers have realized the effectiveness of word of mouth (WOM) being an influencing factor in fostering online fast fashion apparel customers’ choice and purchase decisions (Jung and Seock, 2017).
  • More recently, Covid_19 has had a major impact on the purchasing behaviour of online fast fashion apparel sector customers (McKinsey and Company, 2021).

Because of these influencing factors, online fast fashion apparel companies are finding it increasingly challenging to develop a loyal customer base (Lagorio and Pinto, 2020) as the online fast fashion sector is witnessing frequent switching of customers between the fast fashion brands (Youn et al., 2021).

 

The purpose of this project is to develop a software solution that will enable the online fast fashion apparel companies to overcome these industry issues by satisfying their customers’ purchasing and delivery needs and thereby consolidate their customer base. More specifically, the project seeks to design a software solution with a suitable user interface and options (functions) that will help fast fashion apparel customers’ to make informed decisions about their purchasing and delivery options.

As a result, Apps4All consultancy house [http://www.apps4all.online/] has assigned you as an external consultant to provide a critical review of new opportunities and a complete business proposal for an online fast fashion software solution project. Apps4All seeks to expand its consultancy services to include the fast fashion apparel sector in order to facilitate online fast fashion apparel providers in addressing their customers’ needs regarding product and delivery options.

Complete a 1000-word literature review on reflective learning approaches which informed the design of your artful annotated vlog or audio blog

Research Design

Complete a 1000-word literature review on reflective learning approaches which informed the design of your artful annotated vlog or audio blog (see table below for guidance): Building and Designing a Literature Review   For research there is a requirement for positioning the study within its’ relevant theoretical context by conceptualising the focus (aim) of the study. For this critical qualitative inquiry on the being and becoming a reflexive practitioner) your literature review is the theoretical justification for the design of your vlog or audio reflective blog. This is framed around reflective learning (see sessions 4 and 5) and this gives you permission to be vulnerable, discover your authentic identities (sessions 1 and 2). This is framed by the research aim, and this determines your reflective learning approaches which you critique and justify how you have used them in the design of your artful annotated vlog or audio blog.

For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined in a group setting during the last 4 weeks, using the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Note Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient.

 
To Prepare
  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide about clinical practice guidelines.
  • Select a group patient for whom you conducted psychotherapy for a mood disorderduring the last 4 weeks. Create a Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Note on this patient using the template provided in the Learning Resources. There is also a completed template provided as an exemplar and guide. All psychiatric evaluation notes must be signed, and each page must be initialed by your Preceptor. When you submit your note, you should include the complete comprehensive psychiatric evaluation note as a Word document and pdf/images of each page that is initialed and signed by your Preceptor. You must submit your note using SafeAssign.
    Please Note: Electronic signatures are not accepted. If both files are not received by the due date, Faculty will deduct points per the Walden Grading Policy.
  • Then, based on your evaluation of this patient, develop a video presentation of the case. Plan your presentation using the Assignment rubric and rehearse what you plan to say. Be sure to review the Kaltura Media Uploader resource in the left-hand navigation of the classroom for help creating your self-recorded Kaltura video.
  • Include at least five scholarly resources to support your assessment and diagnostic reasoning.
  • Ensure that you have the appropriate lighting and equipment to record the presentation.

 

THE ASSIGNMENT (5 pages template and 2 pages presentation)

Record yourself presenting the complex case for your clinical patient.

Do not sit and read your written evaluation! The video portion of the assignment is a simulation to demonstrate your ability to succinctly and effectively present a complex case to a colleague for a case consultation. The written portion of this assignment is a simulation for you to demonstrate to the faculty your ability to document the complex case as you would in an electronic medical record. The written portion of the assignment will be used as a guide for faculty to review your video to determine if you are omitting pertinent information or including non-essential information during your case staffing consultation video.

In your presentation:

  • Dress professionally and present yourself in a professional manner.
  • Display your photo ID at the start of the video when you introduce yourself.
  • Ensure that you do not include any information that violates the principles of HIPAA (i.e., don’t use the patient’s name or any other identifying information).
  • Present the full complex case study. Be succinct in your presentation, and do not exceed 8 minutes. Include subjective and objective data; assessment from most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; current psychotherapeutic plan (include one health promotion activity and one patient education strategy you provided); and patient progress toward treatment goals.
    • Subjective:What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What was the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
    • Objective:What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
    • Assessment:Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses in order of highest to lowest priority and explain why you chose them. What was your primary diagnosis and why? Describe how your primary diagnosis aligns with DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria and is supported by the patient’s symptoms.
    • Plan:Describe your treatment modality and your plan for psychotherapy. Explain the principles of psychotherapy that underline your chosen treatment plan to support your rationale for the chosen psychotherapy framework. What were your follow-up plan and parameters? What referrals would you make or recommend as a result of this psychotherapy session?
    • Reflection notes:What would you do differently in a similar patient evaluation? Reflect on one social determinant of health according to the HealthyPeople 2030 (you will need to research) as applied to this case in the realm of psychiatry and mental health. As a future advanced provider, what are one health promotion activity and one patient education consideration for this patient for improving health disparities and inequities in the realm of psychiatry and mental health? Demonstrate your critical thinking.
