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 ...

Article Analysis: “Data Collection Mode and Social Desirability Bias in Self-Reported Religious Attendance”

In this article, Stanley Presser (University of Maryland) and Linda Stinson (Bureau of Labor Statistics) research inaccurate data in regards to whether or not self-administered studies and time usage reports are beneficial to studies.  In this report, the researchers investigate religious service attendance numbers and how truthful people are when it comes to self-administered studies.
One would imagine that people would tell the truth and fear no judgement during a typical “interview” style of collecting data. However, when the participants in these studies on religious ceremony attendances were asked questions during a typical interview-administered style, their attendance numbers were ...

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the elaboration of token economy system for students, who prefer being absent at classes. The reasons of absence were considered, and appropriate tokens were suggested. The class of juniors, who studied Microeconomics, was taken for conducting an experiment with tokens in the form of additional marks. These marks gave an opportunity at the end of the course to choose the exam questions personally based on their complexity and quantity, namely to create an examination card, and an opportunity to decide how to pass an exam, namely completion of the test, oral discussion, presentation preparation ...

Project Planning Paper and Talking Points about the U.S. SB 303 on Welfare

Thesis Statement
“It is unfair to disqualify parents from receiving grants and benefits as a result of this bill because this may potentially disrupt the government’s ability to efficiently and productively deliver much needed services to poverty-stricken families, and may also leave families who cannot even afford to send their children to school into deeper financial troubles”

Description of the Stakeholders Involved

- Families
Families and their respective members are the ones who would most likely be most affected by the implementation of this bill. We find the implementation of ...

Project Planning Paper and Talking Points about the U.S. SB 303 on Welfare

- Support for the HB 4388 should not be passed because it can be a hindrance to the government’s ability to provide social services to the parents and families who heavily rely on it. This bill basically disables them to receive government support if they fail to send their children aged below 16 to school which is something they do not have a complete control of. After all, parents do not have absolute control over their children’s mindset, behavior, and actions.
- Families and ...

According to the case study, it is clear that the deeds of the medical practitioner are coming due to incompetency in the job. This makes the case to be an ethical act or problem. The doctor ought to have known that it is always recommended to treat all the patients equally. For example, the case of Marguerite who was to undergo angiogram shows lack of medical ethics among the doctors. This case presents legal and ethical problems in hospitals. It was wrong for the angiogram physicians to decide to attend Sarah instead of Marguerite basing on the reason that ...

Hypothesis

Education has led to changed religious behavior and increased religious attendance (mosque attendance) among American Muslims.

Type of survey

Based on the need for convenience, ease of administration, cost reduction, and the privacy of the respondents, web surveys (written questionnaires) are selected as the appropriate survey type (Creswell, 2003). Muslims are conservative when it comes to issues relating to their religion. The issue of anonymity becomes a key aspect in this study. The role and manner of treatment among Muslims in the US is among the most controversial aspects among issues touching on Islam. Contemporary debates about Muslims ...

The Cost of College

The average cost of a four-year bachelor’s degree in America is $9000 per year and that figure pales into insignificance when compared with the two year private colleges who charge in excess of $35,000 per year. These high costs have one obvious effect which is that the majority of students attending college will come from middle or higher class families. Like anything, if you raise the cost then its exclusivity increases and reduces the likelihood of it being accessible to poorer families. According to a study assessing the ...

Introduction

Unfair treatment of employees has been discouraged in all lines of jobs with various legislations being put up in different countries to protect the rights of the employees. Any action that may be considered to be prejudice to an employee is discouraged. This may include unfair demotion or firing without concrete reason and failure to hire someone on the basis of their race. Discrimination can be direct or indirect according to the one who is doing it. Sometimes, the treatment that one receives is not fair when compared to the one that other people are receiving. In our case ...

Human Resource Management

This article, written by Lisa Rein and William Branigin from the Washington Post, discusses a potentially severe lack of management in the supervision of work-from-home employees whose job is to review patent applications. The individual who broke the story let the Post know that the office “tolerates” employee abuses, later citing that the department often turned their heads in the face of these time and attendance issues when productivity was high. The culture in this office is a very relaxed one, mostly because managers and supervisors very rarely interact with their employees. This inevitably leads to a relaxed feeling ...

Is it possible that some people just are not cut out for college? The studies on current trends in admissions and graduation rates seem to suggest so. While this idea may seem preposterous to some, it can not be denied that the life station and circumstances of some make attending college, let alone finishing, difficult. “College admissions are actually at an all-time high. But at the same time, degree completion rates are dropping. It's an academic fact of life that more than half of the students who begin college will not see it through to earn a degree.” (McCleaster) ...

SLIDE 2:

Most organizations look for better ways of increasing the effectiveness and productivity of employees. Staff training forms one of the methods implemented by organizations to manage diversity in workplace. According to Aguinis & Kraiger (2009), employee training on cultural diversity is of great benefit to an organization because it increases the relationship between employees in an organization. Training would act as one of the most pervasive methods for communicating organizational goals across different cultures working in the company. In addition, the human resource management should understand the potential impact and costs associated with employee training programs in order to come ...

This paper is organized as follows: a review of the existing studies written on conference realignment is presented followed by my perspective on the current issue on conference realignment.

It was during his term that he was charged with seeing the country through the Civil War, the battle that pitted Americans against each other in a fight to see which side of opinions would direct the nation. The Gettysburg Address has come to be known as one of the most prominent addresses ever given by a president as Mr. Lincoln was talking to those in attendance who came to the dedication service which was meant to turn the land where the ...

Education has long been one of the most divisive issues in American law. In the time since the formation of the United States, there has been a struggle between the American government and parents regarding who has the right to control a child’s education (Browne-Barbour, 2006). Browne-Barbour (2006) notes that even still, school was not compulsory in all states until approximately 1918, and before that states were able to control the specific circumstances surrounding schooling for children in their own state.
Some schools chose to maintain much more significant control over the children in their specific state than ...

Memorandum

Overview
The students of Whatsmatta University have shown a recent survey which indicates that the performance and results of students have been decreased over the last five years. The survey showed that the increased level of non-attendance has also been observed, and that might be the reason of decreased performance level.

Findings:

- According to the survey, there were 107 absences in a term which resulted in the potential loss of 321 hours, in an 864 hour course. This high rate of non-attendance shows the student’s attitude towards learning.
- The motivational level in students is very low, and ...

The showcase of the event was clearly Doc Severinsen’s trumpeting. Clearly, an expert in ...

Introduction

Same sex marriage has become a polarizing issue in both state and national politics as well as religious platforms. In the United States alone, fourteen including California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Washington among others, states have legalized same sex marriages either through court decisions, state legislations or through popular votes. However, some other states such as Alabama, Arizona, Alaska, Kentucky, and Missouri among several others have banned same sex marriages by constitutional amendments and state laws, or constitutional amendments or state laws only. The polarizing views on gay marriages can also be witnessed on religious groups with some ...

What are the Causes and Effects of Obesity in America

Obesity is principally the unusual buildup of fat, normally about 20 percent, above a person?s ideal body weight. It is essentially defined as that body mass index, which is more or equivalent to 30 (Kiselinchev, Hill, & Green, 2003). The developing concern with obesity is due to the raised risks of disability, illness, as well as deaths to persons affected. In essence, every year more than 300,000 people lose their lives to obesity related conditions (Rosenblatt, 2001). Several research investigations have demonstrated that more than half of Americans are overweight (Kiselinchev, Hill, & Green, 2003).
It is essentially ...

Chi square test of independence is used to evaluate whether the presence or absence of a relationship or association between two or several attributes. It applied in data that is categorical and not continuous in nature. A good example of a question that would be analysed with this test is determining whether there is an association between attending classes and passing in the final exams. In this case, the students will be categorized into two groups; those who failed and those who passed which will appear on the column. In addition, each of the two groups will be subdivided ...

Question 1: a) Scheduling Principles at Gate Gourmet

Gate Gourmet uses a master production schedule since many changes are effected into the production and preparation of the food. The MPS takes into account the forecasts, aggregate plan, available capacity and material (Lambert, 2008). MPS is evident in Gate Gourmet as normally the meals for flights are fixed six months prior, but as time goes on changes can be made even six hours before the flight. This allows the actual demand to be met and accurate forecasting achieved (Lambert, 2008).
The importance of supply chain management comes into play where time is a limiting factor and profit making ...

Definition

When it comes to defining professional socialization, it becomes very difficult to give it a precise definition because there is not a single agreed definition of it. There are different definitions of professional socialization offered by different scholars. Some of the scholars believe that the professional socialization is a process through which individuals go through an evolution of acquiring new skills, adopting new habits, behaviors and quitting the old habits as well as behavior so that they would come to terms with the requirements of their professions. Professional socialization is a kind of learning process in which individuals acquires ...
