Fast-paced environment
Hi,
First of all is the phrase below grammatically correct? Second I need help to understand well the word "fast-paced environment" and if it fits well whit the phrase.
The phrase:
"Tony is an hard-working person, recognized team player with proven track record of prioritizing and performing multiple functions and problem-solving attitude in fast-paced environments. Capable of operating independently to manage multiple activities as required."
If I understand well it means moving, happening rapidly but I don't understand if it's a negative, "neutral" or posistive adjective. If a company is a fast-paced environment, does a native english person understand there is someting wrong, a bad quality product or a bad work in general? Does this phrase sounds like something in the company is done in an incorrectly way?
Thanks.

Question about the english passive form
Hi I need help with the passive form. In according whit the Cambridge dictionary (this website doesn't allow to me to write all the info so I paste the link: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/it/grammatica/grammatica-britannico/passive/passive):
We use the terms active voice and passive voice to talk about ways of organising the content of a clause:
Cambridge University Press published this book. (active)
This book was published by Cambridge University Press. (passive)
So, having said this, are both of the below phrases grammatically correct and if no, why? The focus is on the changes or the analysis but there is no sign of passive form.
The change brought about by online competition from amazon;
The changes brought by owners;
The analysis drawn up by interested parties;
In particular:
15 most important changes that were brought about by the Hindu Marriage;

What is "House price appreciation" means?
Hello everyone,
I'm reading an article (link below) but I can not understand the meaning of "house price appreciation" in the following sentence:
"The Subprime Crisis of 07' started to occur when house prices peaked; at this time consumer’s main income was house price appreciation. If you knew these indicators existed, you could’ve sold your real estate investments at their highs long before the crisis occurred."
Translating the part into Italian:
"La crisi dei subprime del 07' iniziò quando i prezzi delle case hanno raggiunto il picco; in questo periodo il reddito principale del consumatore era la rivalutazione del prezzo della casa. Se avessi conosciuto questi indicatori, avresti potuto vendere i tuoi investimenti immobiliari ai massimi molto prima che si verificasse la crisi."
Is it correct to translate it into a revaluation, thinking of an increase in value?
Thanks

"Jessica fletcher assured the correct conduct of the investigation on the causes, on the frequency, on the extension of the murder and its consequences on the life people quality, by appropriate tools (magnifier, bribes, etc..).
Jessica assured the implementation of the action in according to a schedule fixed, assessing its effectiveness.

Are all the senteces correct?
Is "conduct" the correct verb to use whit investigation? For example can I use also carring out or perform?
Is the "assessing its effectiveness" a correct sentece or I had to use to assess like a verb??
"Due to clues arising from the documents, Jessica does something, solving the case".
Is "arising from" the correct noun to use in this sentece or also/only "coming out from" is fine?
Thanks!
