Introduction

Work and development assessment during strategic change can be defined as an evaluation of effectiveness and skills of leaders as managers. Development assessment provides a feedback system from direct reports of performance analysis for development of specific leadership skills based on performance feedback. 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 Continue reading...

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.

Innovations Needed in the Senior Care Industry

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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. Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

- Historical Documents
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, Continue reading...

Introduction

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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.
A part from encouraging Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

Medicinal marijuana is a term used to refer to the use of cannabis sativa to alleviate the symptoms of diseases such as Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...
