There is not a single best way to reduce the deficit in the country by 60% in the next 8 years. The short as well as long-term consequences of spending cuts and tax increases must be considered.

Additionally, cardiac care unit’s demands nurses to be highly attentive as most patients admitted need frequent help due to their critical condition. Such situations in which nurses have to handle so many patients’ single- handed increases ...

Ageing of the general population including a greater proportion of the labor force is a global phenomenon (Kulik et al. 930).

However, this observation may differ worldwide with regard to development. Along with the ageing phenomenon, the retirement of the “baby boom generation” has affected the global labor market. Therefore, the significant increase in longevity ...

The historical perspectives on social work incorporate the idea that it could simply be reduced to common sense of experienced mothers, but the modern understanding of social work moves it far beyond this narrow interpretation. Nowadays, “social workers constantly try to make a positive difference to service users’ lives and support community members in a variety of ways” (Stepney & Ford, 2000, p.xiii). In this process, a balanced combination of theory and practice is required, while practice standards used to protect the individuals in society and enhance social justice are based on the solid body of theoretical perspectives, frameworks and ...

There were years when a booming population became a challenge for the society in general. For instance, it would mean that the population is young and more individuals are dependent on a smaller portion of the population.

However, way past that, there has been a significant decrease in the birth rate of many countries, including the United States. This decrease is likewise viewed negatively in the health care perspective. Moreover, as 2002, a study noted that there is a lower ...

Demographic movements accentuate the fact that current and future trends in the social, political, and economic fronts are directly affected by the issue of an aging population. It is a reality for people regardless of race or culture. However, the rate at which demographic shifts differs in countries worldwide will have significant effects on developed and developing countries when saddled by a high number of ageing population. This is because in a typical developing country, baby boomers opt to delay having babies or starting their own families as they focus more on themselves and career advancement. The same problem ...

The adaptive immune system is the subsystem of an entire immune system. Characteristically, the adaptive immune system is comprised highly systematic and specialized cells and processes whose main purposes are to eliminate or inhibit the growth of pathogens within specific hosts. The adaptive immune system is infamous for its ability to place the body in better states to fight similar pathogens in subsequent infections. Nonetheless, both the cell-meditated and humoral immunity of the adaptive immune systems lacks the desirable ability to distinguish between harmful and harmless invading pathogens.

Background of the Problems

Theories Related to Successful Aging Bowling (2005) defined successful aging from a sociological perspective highlighting that "the substantial increases in life expectancy at birth achieved over the previous century, combined with medical advances, escalating health and social care costs, and higher expectations for older age, have led to international interest in how to promote a healthier old age and how to age successfully" (p.1). To this end, some research studies have outlined theories which can be applied to successful aging. DeLiema & Bengston (2015) examined both the activity theory and disengagement theory.

Question one

There are several differences between a single member district and proportional representation. In a single member district, the electorate can only elect one person at any particular time in a race. In the United States of America, Congressional districts take this approach. The key issue is that in a specific race in the district in question, only one member can be elected. In the United States of America, each state elects two senators. Although this is the case, it is important to note that the two do not compete or run in the same elective post. In ...

Introduction:

Pensions are an essential part of a civilized welfare state that rewards hardworking and taxpaying citizens with security in old age. The rationale behind pensions is that citizens who have worked for a living for almost 40 years of their young lives and have paid taxes deserve to have a regular source of passive income after retirement in old age. This is to ensure their basic needs are taken care of and they do not become a burden on society and private individuals. It also ensures higher spending in the market as opposed to a greater part of earnings ...

Abstract

This paper puts the legal and ethical issues of physician-assisted suicide in the context of the larger debate on privacy and the right to die, which can be divided into three constituent parts: (1) a patient’s constitutionally protected right to privacy in all matters involving end-of-life treatment decisions. So long as a patient has the mental capacity to make informed consent, the government does not have a legitimate interest to override end-of-life decisions. Critical to the analysis of a patient’s refusal of life-sustaining treatment is the burden of the state to prove a patient did not have ...

Elderlies or individuals who belong to the geriatric population can be prone to a lot of illnesses and diseases. This is mainly because of the consequences of degeneration.

Quality and Safety Practice: Prevention of Patient Falls - Literature Review

Introduction Whether an elderly person is living alone, with others, within a nursing home, or under care in a medical facility, falling is a major threat. For seniors older than 65 years of age living in a community situation, one in three will suffer a fall every year; for individuals over 85 years of age, the rate climbs to half of all residents (Cameron et al., 2010; CBO, 2004; Neyens, 2007; Tinetti, 2003). If an elderly adult is institutionalized, the possibility of falling in a year rises to 1.5 to 2 times (Dijcks et al., 2005) and a serious ...

Population pyramids are a useful tool for analyzing the population’s age and gender structure. The countries with the rapid population growth have more young people than elderly people. On the contrary, the countries with the slow population growth tend to have a large number of elderly people (Rowntree 23). Sometimes the population pyramids have a very unusual pattern which can be explained only by means of the analysis of the country’s past history and socio-economic development. For instance, in Figure 1 one can see the population pyramid for Qatar in Southwest Asia. There are much more males ...

<Institution> According to the United Nations (n.d.), “the proportion of persons aged 60 and over is expected to double between 2007 and 2050, and their actual number will more than triple, reaching 2 billion by 2050.” In other words, more and more people are expected to live longer in the days to come.

ABSTRACT

There are a number of important benefits that can be gleaned for humanity as a whole if production processes could be moved to space. This is a holistic investigation of the different benefits of moving manufacturing processes to space, and of the current processes that are capable of being carried out in space or in orbit. Full-scale production of space vehicles is the final end goal of the process, but a focus on small-scale production via 3-D printing technologies is also examined over the course of the study. A literature review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine the effects of manufacturing in Microgravity ...
