Deborah Root’s excerpt, Conquest, Appropriation, and Cultural Difference, and Olive Senior’s Mediation on Yellow poem present the same message about the plight of native nations in Canada. Canada, formerly a British colony, is home to many native nations that have over the years been conquered, displaced, and suffered in the hands of immigrants who came into the country. Despite the feudal past that characterizes the history of these tribes, it is apparent from both the poem and the excerpt that native nations of Canada continue to be discriminated against and being taken advantage of. Both Root’s ...

Introduction

Work and development assessment during strategic change can be defined as an evaluation of effectiveness and skills of leaders as managers.

The key areas in this study are where, how and when set leadership strategies are developed, the criteria for an effective management strategy, the manner in which management strategies are developed, and implemented. In reference to Brian and George (2007) performance management can be defined as a continuous cycle that commences with conscription decision and entails ...

Improving Geriatric Nursing Care

Improving Geriatric Nursing Care
The U.S. population is aging with the proportion of adults aged 65 or older steadily increasing. Older adults have unique health care needs relating to the treatment and prevention of comorbid illnesses, disability, and cognitive decline. The health care system must be ready to meet these needs in order to provide the best care and increase the quality of life of seniors. Innovations are therefore much needed and nurses are in the position to lead efforts by obtaining further training and education, engaging in research, and advocating.

Head size and intelligence: A correlational study

ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between head size and intelligence. A cross-sectional research design was used in the study. Twenty (20) respondents with ages from 12-18 years were purposively selected. Ages, head circumferences and IQ scores were obtained from each of the respondents. One way ANOVA revealed a no significant difference among the respondents in reference to their ages, head sizes and intelligence (p < 0.05). Regression analysis revealed a no significant relationship between the respondents’ head circumferences and IQ scores (R2 = 0.002). Thus, this study concluded that having large head size doesn’t account for ...

Human resource management is one of the most fundamentally-important parts of an organization or corporation-- and, strangely, until relatively recently in human development, it was also one of the most undervalued and ignored. Human resources management is the area of study that deals with the maximization of employee performance and employee resources within an organization; it is also the force that deals with the individual, personal side of business. There are always going to be conflicts and interpersonal issues within a company, and it is the task of the human resource management system within that organization, whether the organization ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) or dementia of Alzheimer's type (DAT) is one of the most common pathologies of the central nervous system and psyche. It usually affects persons in the old age and today an estimated of 500,000 Canadians suffer from Alzheimer’s or related dementia, over 70,000 being under 65 and 50,000 under 60. Neurodegenerative process is accompanied by progressive loss of memory and cognitive abilities decline. AD inevitably leads to death of the patient, and there are still no drugs to prevent or cure this disease. Incidence increases parallel with an increase in life expectancy. ...

Introduction

Decubitus ulcer also referred to as bedsore or pressure sore is an open wound on the skin (Thomas, 2006). Thomas (2006) indicates that the decubitus ulcer mostly occurs on the skin that covers the born areas. Notably, the most common areas for bedsore to appear are; hips, ankles, back and buttocks. Decubitus ulcer are common among the disabled, elderly and those people who spend long periods of time on wheelchairs or bed, and those who are not able to move certain parts of their body without assistance (Thomas, 2006). In keeping with Albert and Spencer (2007), decubitus ulcers/ bedsores ...

Abstract

The strong abilities of Romans to manipulate their physical environment via the development and use of strong military forces has led them to acquire several tracts of land across Europe, with its end as the Roman Empire having become memorable in scholarly works due to its sheer expanse. The magnanimity of the Roman Empire is perhaps best measured by the largeness of its territorial acquisitions. This study finds that the strong military forces of Rome has enabled it to two more consequential forms of physical manipulation – the slaughter of many people supporting Roman rivals and the systemic acquisition of ...

Mountain pine beetle (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is a bark beetle that lays eggs within the vascular system of the mature trees of lodgepole pine (Pinus
contorta). First known epidemic infestation was recorded in 1994 in the forests of British Columbia (BC). Prior to 1994, the infestation was negligible, owing to the fact that extreme low temperatures of winter killed the beetle, thereby curbing the problem. In the past two decades, however, due to global warming the winter temperatures are not low enough to kill the beetle. This has escalated the problem of deforestation and thereby has unbalanced the ...

In New Zealand, people lie at the interface of the Indo-Australian and Pacific tectonic plates. According to history, these two plates have been grinding against each other for millions of years. Nonetheless, the outcomes for these collisions have three distinct outcomes which vary according to the specific location within New Zealand. In between these two tectonic zones, lies the Alpine fault which extends to the south of New Zealand from Greymouth and disappears into the ocean approximately 12 km from Milford. The alpine fault reportedly has fractured four times since its formation at intervals of about 150-350 years (Van ...

Introduction

Any organization in which people work must create a policy of implementing a healthy work environment. Most common issue in the present days is related to work stress. The basic reason of work stress is to get a job that is not a suitable one, when it comes to the employee’s skills, expectations and abilities. The major reason to experience different forms of work stress is lack of managerial support that create stress and problems in the working environment (Obiora & Iwuoha, 2013).
Also, the poor working environment creates a bad effect on the quality and performance of the ...

In general, terms, the U.S Constitution is the country’s supreme law. It was adopted on 17 September 1787. However, it was not until 1789 that this constitution was ratified. During this time, it was ratified by only 11 states. Though authored by several personalities, Governor Morris who hailed from Pennsylvania has been credited as the man who chaired the committee that drafted the constitution. Other members of the committee included John Dickinson, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison among others (Ritchie et al. 56). The Constitution was created for a number of purposes. Of major importance, ...

Objective
The effect of gamma radiation exposure on various biological species is known to vary with the radiation dose. Contrary to earlier theories which predict greater damage with increasing dosage, recent studies have observed a non-linear relationship at relatively low doses (Al-Safadi & Simon, 1996; Bajaj et al., 1970; Mokobia, & Anomohanran, 2005). An experiment to observe this effect on the monocot crop plant Hordeum Vulgare was carried out. Varying doses of 0 Krad, 5Krad, 10 Krad, 25 Krad, 50 Krad, and 100 Krad were used on six batches of seedlings. The aim of this paper is to discuss the methodology ...

In this discussion about organizational structure, there will be two different articles discussing separate approaches to and implications of organizational structure: the first, written by Ramachandran et al. (2011) is entitled, “Organisational culture: An exploratory study comparing faculties' perspectives within public and private universities in Malaysia.” The second, written by Macintosh and Doherty (2007), is entitled “Extending the scope of organisational culture: The external perception of an internal phenomenon.” Each approaches the issue of organizational structure differently, and each presents important implications regarding the structure of different organizational groups.
[Main findings] Ramachandran et al. (2011) are primarily concerned with ...

Research Article Structure

The key sections typically used in research articles include (1) the introduction/background, (2) literature review, (3) methods, (4) results, (5) discussion, and (6) the conclusion. The introduction and literature review are sometimes not distinguished as separate sections. The choice of sections will also depend on the research topic and aims, and each section can introduce more subsection, but all research articles need to discuss the study aims and their hypotheses in the first section of the article. For example, a study on exposure therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by Hembree et al. (2003) presents previous research on exposure ...

In life, one of the most imperative elements is happiness. Throughout the globe, in different locations, different people engage in different mechanisms with the sole purpose of getting happiness. Most things and endeavors that human beings engage him are as a result of the urge to attain this state at the end of the day (James et al., 32). Life is strenuous. Due to this, happiness makes it bearable. It is important to note that different things and issues bring happiness to different people. As such, something that may make one person happy may not necessarily make another happy.

The main purpose of this paper is to study and outline the behavior of college architectural students. Through this, the relationship that exists between the different forms of architecture and their subcultures will be thoroughly explored (Borden, 16). In essence, the students in the college do a lot of things for various reasons. This motivated me to try to learn and appreciate whatever they do in order to understand it better. It is so difficult to appreciate the endeavors that somebody may engage himself or herself in without having a close examination of the reasons, which lead them to ...

1. Introduction
Smallpox is a viral disease that causes pus-filled boils on the dermis. It looks similar to chickenpox, but has certain characteristic differences. Unlike chickenpox, smallpox is lethal in 30% of the cases and leaves the victim with disfiguring scars and/or blindness. Smallpox has now been eradicated through aggressive vaccination. The last case was reported in Somalia in the late 1970’s. After 2 years of worldwide surveillance, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that the disease had been eradicated.
2. Causative agent
Smallpox is caused by the Variola virus, which belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus. The members ...

I. INTRODUCTION TO SUBCULTURES: CONSUMPTION OF IDENTITY
Subcultures are, at their core, a way for people to differentiate themselves from the culture that they are surrounded by. These subcultures can take a variety of different forms, from the relatively innocuous to the highly deviant-- however, one thing that they all share is the drive to differentiate themselves from the larger society to which they belong. Commonly, the majority culture has been considered to be the culture that accepts widely-held norms and beliefs and consumes the related products, while subcultures have been seen by sociologists and businesspeople alike as members ...

When palliative care was first introduced in healthcare, the focus of care delivery was exclusively on cancer patients and their families, but it eventually expanded to other types of terminal illness (Zimmermann et al., 2008). At the moment, the World Health Organization (WHO, 2014) defines palliative care as a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare for patients that are diagnosed with life-threatening conditions. A different definition describes palliative care as an intervention aiming to mitigate suffering instead of curing an illness (Becker, 2008). All definitions agree that the purpose of palliative care is to provide relief from pain, enhance the quality ...

Question 1

As a result of the technological innovations, the use of technology has to be recognized and extensively used as part of the curriculum. As examined in Educating the Net Generation, the 21st century students are so progressive and privy with the latest technological developments. Thus, it is upon the curriculum developers to heavily incorporate technology as part of the curriculum. While doing this, deliberate efforts should be taken to train the tutors on their use. Therefore, it implies that each organization should heavily invest in technology and make it as part of the school system.

Introduction

Allergy is an immune system disorder. Allergy or allergic reaction is a hypersensitivity to otherwise innocuous substances present in the environment. The allergic reaction is usually a rapid response; however, the sensitivity to certain allergens can be acquired over a period. It was previously called the type one hypersensitivity. It is characterized by an over activation of leucocytes, called the mast cells and the basophils following activation of immunoglobulin E (IgE) (Frigas, Gleich 1986). This activation of the basophiles and mast cells triggers an inflammatory response.

Pathophysiology of the allergic response

The type 1 hypersensitivity reaction is initiated when an allergen is introduced to ...

The Empire State Building is a 103-storey vast skyscraper. It derives the nickname from New York, the Empire State. It has been the world’s tallest building for about four decades having a height of 443.2 meters with an antenna spire included at the top of the building. From the time of its completion (1931) it has been a world’s trade centre and now its role of trade is being overcome by it's becoming watch towers, architectural building, a landmark and point of interest for observing ships, aircrafts and other features from a top (Tauranac, 19). It is ...

According to Chandra et al., (2013) transits services provide the commuters with access to different places in the industry. This enables the commuters to engage in activities channeled to improve the economic development. A transit system is an example of a transport facility that can offer the public a platform to facilitate services. I feel it is important for the street network system to cater for new developments so as to enable ease of traffic. The government can consider adding new highway links to enable fast delivery of goods in case of the long distance travelers. The improvement of ...

Advantages of Utilizing a Research-Based Technique to Problem Resolution

Evidenced-based care or approach entails the integration of evidence from clinical expertise, research, as well as patient preferences in making decisions regarding the patients’ health care (Goldenberg, 2010). Evidence-based care ensures health care is efficient, effective, and satisfy the needs of patients. Evidence-based approach helps in determining what works and what does not, moreover, with whom as well as where it operates best.
Evidence-based approach root decisions from findings as well as proven techniques of investigation. Besides, makes a decision on earlier evidence and proceeds onto other procedures via innovations reliant on the experience. Consequently, this increases chances of ...

Aliens Films (1979-1997)

What is the significance of events in films? Are all the bits and pieces in films intentionally included by directors? These are some of the questions I asked myself as I set out on a comprehensive analysis of the audience message in the Aliens Films (1979-1997). According to film analyst Greg Smith, different events in films are not to be treated as accidental encounters of random occurrence and spontaneity. They are instead purposefully planned series of events with cause and effect and with nothing left to chance (Greg 128). Greg explains that Hollywood films are inadvertently one of the ...

Introduction

Obesity is a health condition in which the Body Mass Index (MBI) is more than 30. Someone with a BMI of 25-29.99 is considered overweight because physicians recommend that people maintain a BMI of between 20 and 24.99 (Haerens, 7). BMI is a standard measure obtained by dividing the weight of a person in Kilograms (Kg) with the square of their height in Meters (M) {Kg /M2}. In 2009, 63.2% of US adults were either overweight or obese. In the same the year, 66.7% of all adults in the state of Texas were overweight (37.2%) or obese (29.5%) (Salinas ...

Review and analysis

In the article, Harris et al. (1999) uses parallel group trial, randomised, controlled and double-blind designs with the intention of providing comprehensive and unswerving data. I find it rather unsatisfactory to use such designs in a small sample size of only 990 patients in a single hospital (Harris et al., 1999). The clarity, reliability and dependability of the data could have been improved by using the various designs in different hospitals or areas to increase the coverage and enable comparison. It would also have eliminated the financial constraint that seems to have adversely affected the final analysis of the ...

Maternity services require high quality where the outcomes are compared favorably in order to improve and respond to the needs brought forward by the family. Primary maternity services entail giving care and attention to the woman through antenatal, birthing and postnatal care where the risks are kept as low as possible. These services are kept safe and effective through structures given by care providers that ensure appropriate assessment, timely referral and access to secondary services. Women in this stage will be referred to secondary services and then tertiary services which provide higher level of medical care. This structure enables ...

The Decline of the Weimar Republic and the Rise of the Nazi Party

The 1st World War characterized the involved of many countries such as Germany, Austria, France, Bulgaria just to mention but a few. Germany on their side had their share of the cake with the invasion of Russia with the help of other central powers. They had been successful in their endeavors where they even succeeded to smuggle the revolutionary Lenin into czarist Russia in 1916. This was followed by Bolshevik Revolution in October and the acquiring of a territory that encompassed countries such as Finland, Poland Ukraine and other regions in the Caucasus. The territory came about through the ...

Introduction

Women as caregivers is a significant issue because it has been hypothesized by many scholars that the stress associated with multiple roles can be conducive to physical and mental health problems. However, this is a controversial topic because they are some experts who contend that benefits are gained with this additional responsibility. There appears to be a myriad of literature that places emphasis on the stress of women engaging in multiple roles.
Women have always been considered responsible for domestic chores. parenting and in some instances caring for elderly parents. A few decades ago women were not required to ...

Advantages and disadvantages of different types of photomultiplier tubes (PMT) in the context of the gamma camera
Tubes with GaP(Cs)
The Tubes with GaP(Cs) is an example of a PMT. Fliyckt and Marmonier (2009) state that one of its advantages as the high secondary emission coefficient of the GaP(Cs) which enables it to reduce the unexpected fluctuations of gain in most PMTs and therefore, improving the energy resolution. This is especially beneficial for light pulses that can allow the cathode produce only a few electrons. Since the GaP(Cs) also has a dynode, it allow the ...

The move to grant driver’s licenses to the illegal immigrants was to ensure the safety of the state road and enable security officials to track residents who lived in the shadows. Although the move was regarded as a political strategy, the immigrants advocated the proposal. The congress signed a bill that allowed illegal immigrants to obtain a driver’s license. However, the plan received great criticism from democrats and republicans, as well as lawmakers who argued that it would provide an opening for terrorists. This also made Hillary Clinton, a presidential hopeful to disavow the proposal after waffling ...

Shared Leadership
There have been uncountable researches on the significance of a leader and the essence of leadership itself in the past three decades. The success of any organization is dependent upon the mindset of a leader where leadership is the combination of skills, drive, behavior and a mindset. Leadership can be voluntary and is not confined to a particular position (Pearce and Conger, 2003). The most important application of leadership is in the academic institutions specifically the schools; these institutions form the basic foundations of ...

Genetic modification, as the name suggests, is a biotechnological process by which the genetic material in an organism such as plants is altered in a manner that does not take place in the nature or via nature-influenced recombination. Such organisms which are called as the Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs find immense practical applications in the modern times. They are used extensively for carrying out medical and biological scientific work, are used to manufacture new pharmaceutical medications and importantly, are used in agriculture to produce good quality crops. The reason why genetic modification has gained prominence in agriculture is ...

Therefore, a conflict is a normal occurrence in the workplace among other social settings. Conflict can arise between team members, organizations and clients, projects, departments, organization need vs. personal needs, and a boss vs. subordinate. In many cases, conflict can result from a perception. Conflict is not necessarily a bad thing. This is because it can present opportunities for improvement. As such, it is important to be acquainted ...

Concept Definition

Social structure refers to the pattern within the culture organization through which social action takes place. It is also defined as the arrangement of roles, organizations, institutions, and cultural symbols that are stable over time, often unnoticed and are changing more invisibly. Social structure enhances and constrains what takes place in social life (López & Scott, 2000). The definition, however, is altered from time to time on different levels of socio-analysis. In macro-sociology, social structure is understood as social institutions, socioeconomic stratification, or other relations between large social groups that are patterned. On the micro-sociology dimension, social structure is ...

Relevance of nursing research problem, addressed in SRR

The research review, developed by Lanzkron, Wilson, Beach, Haywood, Park and Segal (2008), is dedicated to studying published literature on the efficacy, effectiveness and toxicity of hydroxyurea, when used in adults with sickle cell disease. Sickle stem disease is a dangerous condition that tends to decrease life expectancy by 25-30 years and cause high morbidity level, while hydroxyurea remains the only approved disease-modifying therapy (Lanzkron et al., 2008, p.939). Taking into account severity of the disease and the fact that the drug under study is the only available non-supportive therapy, studying its efficiency, efficacy and toxicity is highly relevant ...

Introduction

Retinopathy is a frequent complication of diabetes mellitus especially when blood sugar is poorly controlled. The retina is the part of the eye that transforms light into signals transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve (NHS UK 2013). The brain interprets the electrical signals into images corresponding to what was seen. While sufficient blood supply is needed for the retina to function optimally, chronic hyperglycaemia causes ischemia and bleeding in the retinal microvasculature leading to the formation of new capillaries meant to sustain blood circulation in the retina (Vithian & Hurel 2010). However, the new capillaries are fragile and ...

Finding intelligent life on another planet has shifted from a long-lasting dream to an upcoming probability. The UFO sightings has become so common that it is now really ignorant to think that we are the only inhabitants of this immense universe.
If I was ever on the committee to decide who should speak for our planet, I would make sure it is a person with an open mind to accept new things in his/her life. A bigot who sticks to the values and lessons taught to him in pre-school cannot accept the fact that our lives are going to ...

Discussion Question 1

Discussion Question 1
Foremost, health must be regarded as top priority in order for universal health coverage to have the structure and process needed for implementation. This has been achieved when member countries of the United Nations signed a resolution to employ a multisectoral approach to addressing the various determinants of health contributing to inequity (Ooms et al., 2014). Thus, in principle, the countries agreed to place health on top of their developmental agenda wherein health is recognized as significantly contributing to economic productivity. In applying this principle, countries must create programs for universal health coverage, ensure that such ...

A myriad of baffling questions foster educated inquiries regarding the types of causes for schizophrenia, in terms of neurological foundations. Psychiatry and neuropsychological research continues to engage professionals in exploring the role of the frontal lobes in schizophrenia. While more questions persist than answers, it appears that the elements of memory and behavior correlate in ways that bond to either a region or function that is important in the disorder. According to medical researcher, Dr. Raphael Bonelli (2007) “schizophrenia, and mood disorders may result from disturbances that have a direct or indirect impact on the integrity or functioning of” ...

What is CVSA?

Computerized Voice Stress Analyzer (CVSA) is a lie detection software program that is designed to measure the changes in a subject’s voice patterns caused by physical efforts or stress as he tries to hide deceptive responses when speaking during an investigative interview. The CVSA program is among lie detection technologies that purport to work by analyzing voice stresses (Damphousse, 2014). During testing process, a subject will be speaking as the microphone plugged into the computer taps his voice patterns for analysis. When the subject speaks, frequencies of his voice patterns will form dynamic graphs on the computer screen. ...

Numerous people have coined up distinct theories in order to elucidate the complex concept of how motivation works. For example, motivation is primarily based on the basic needs of people when considered especially in the realms of management and administration (Nathan et al. 2010). The content theory of motivation that focuses on developing a model of an individual’s fundamental needs, assist in depicting some vital factors that serve as an inspiration for an individual. Nonetheless, the factors are mainly considered to be present inside an individual since his birth; however, external factors play a great influence in motivation ...

Orphan Drug

Introduction
The main purpose for the enactment of the U.S. Orphan Drug Act (ODA) of 1983 is to conduct a research on some of the rare diseases whose medical needs remain to be unresolved.
The law has given incentives to various sponsors who have tried to develop therapies for some of the rare medical conditions that can affect at least 200,000 individuals on a yearly basis (Premiere Research 1). For this study, the objective is to create a regulatory strategy or path for Orphan Drug development, particularly on the oral iron chelator, one of the subsets of thalassemia ...

The healthcare practitioners usually confront difficult ethical choices in their quest to provide appropriate health services especially for people with diverse values (McWay 2014 p 91). Consequently, different bioethics principles have been put in place to help resolve ethical issues in the event of such diversities (Koslowski 2001 p 137). The principle of double effect encompasses the two types of consequences that results from a single action (Yelon et.al., 2014 p 374). For example; a doctor may use morphine on a dying patient. Thus, the use of morphine will have a maleficent effect of cutting short the patient’s ...

Throughout the modern Art that took place in the first half of the 20th century, there were several themes were evident. These themes included the use of primitivism in various art movement, the exploration of Freud’s psychoanalytic theories, the changing role ...

IMPACT OF GENDER ON OCCUPATIONAL HISTORY

Introduction
There is an understanding that gender differences are highly influential when it comes to hiring and employment, most especially because there are jobs that are gender-specific, even though the other gender is not condemned from taking on those, particularly on an occupational basis. For that, one may think that it is better to be a female with specific characteristics when one is taking on a particular job, while another job may require workers to be male with distinct features as well. The nature of the work somewhat dictates gender requirements among jobs, but other occupations, particularly those that ...

Discuss how Business and Management research should meet the twin requirements of rigour and relevance?

According to Saunders, et al., (2007) the researcher should meet the requirements of rigor and relevance when he follows the research process. The researcher should select the topic of his or her interest, because the research is a long process . Hodgkinson, et al. (2001) evaluate that pedantic science focuses on increased methodological rigor and express the specific outcomes that are relevant. The populist science focuses on relevance practices but neglects the theoretical rigour. The researcher does not focus on theories in populist research. He focuses on management practices.
