Summary The research question addressed in the research summary table is “What are the factors and predictors of nursing burnout?” Two studies, i.e. Davis et al. (2013) and Wang et al., (2015) contained convenience samples; so the results of the studies do not apply to all students. However, the number of samples in the studies was sufficient to get a statistically significant result. All the studies utilized the responses of the participants through surveys and questionnaires. Studies by Allen et al., (2015) and Wang et al., (2015) were also cross-sectional in nature. All of the studies ...

Poverty and Religiosity as Bridges to other Faiths

Poverty does not choose who to strike or who not to, and neither does it focus on one religion over the other. However, many people believe that poverty is dictated by a specific religion, a speculation which is not true. This discussion will focus on the following characteristic that explains religion and poverty as a bridge to other faiths; Intense Social Stratification, Omnipresence of Poverty, The Transience of Life, and Philosophical Detachment with Africa as the specific community.

Intense social stratification

Social stratification is the act of forming hierarchies among people so as to distinguish one group from another. Most of these ...

Daoism comprises a mode of traditional Chinese thought that is thought of as both philosophical and religious. Rather than being primarily concerned with this conflict in ideology, however, Daoist thinkers have been primarily concerned with conceptualization of the natural world and the underlying influence that propels it forward in its evolutionary path throughout time. Morality, leadership, and personal development are all fundamental tenets held by Daoist thinkers. Two of the primary contributors to the history of Daoist thought were Laozi and Zhuang Zou, the writers of the Daodejing and the Zhuangzi respectively. While these philosophers each demonstrate a variety ...

Background- Six Blind Men and the Elephant is the story of six blind men who view an elephant differently. As described in the video (Kanika24fps), they touch the different parts of an elephant and form their own opinion about the same. They all have different views about the elephant and argue that their views are more correct than others. The story has a strong link with a religion. Like an elephant, there are different viewpoints on religion. This leads to arguments and fights. Instead of arguing, if all sit together, realise their limited knowledge and try to make it ...

I would like to talk about the movie “Mountain Patrol”, filmed in 2004 by the Chinese director Chuan Lu. The peculiarity of this director's narrative is inherent in all of his films, but here he surpassed himself. Merging in one movie two different approaches – the artistic and documentary one was an unmatched idea. At least, hardly anyone else came across this symbiosis. It really turned out a beautiful picture, in which both actors and documentary were involved. I believe that his film was a key moment in the struggle to save the antelope Chiru, not only in China but ...

Q. Spend some time at the mall or a public place where parents and infants frequent. List behaviours that you observe that indicate attachment between the infant and the caretaker. Note any evidence you observe that may indicate a lack of attachment.

I chose to spend some time at the local mall. I was there for around two hours. Since it was lunch time, I chose to sit at the food court and observe the infants and their caretakers. All the caretakers were females; either the mother of the child or the Nanny of the child was ...

The knowledge above all is a key aspect in the Hindu spiritual tradition. The desire to know more about the depths of life and death cannot be bribed. Death offers Naicketas pleasures, happiness, wealth, many years of life, for him and his family in order to make him take back his question about a man who is considered death, although some other people consider him alive.

“Choose sons and grandsons who’d live a hundred years!/Plenty of livestock and elephants, horses and gold! Choose as your domain a wide expanse of earth” (Olivelle 234) and even offers free desires, at the ...

Research Problem/Question: The researchers had based their research on the argument that violent especially shooting video games have become most important leisure activity among youth. With the increasing praise for such games in media and public, these games have stimulated aggressive behavior and feelings of inattention towards friends and family as the users have perceived these animated characters as social beings and they are not actively involved in social activities. Apart from enjoyment and stimulation of aggressive behavior, youths feel no wrong in killing; rather they enjoy playing these games. However, very little research has been done to assess ...

Introduction

The House of God is a hilarious novel with information on everything doctors do not want patients to know. The author based the story on his experience at the Beth Israel Hospital. The novel caused a scandal when it first appeared. The work glamorized traits of dehumanizing and unprofessional attitudes towards ailing patients, which are a set of very unethical issues. Such include a sadistic and dark humor such as how to “turf” patients to other specialties. Another idea is that GOMERs go round. The text promotes a detachment from the patient, which causes them to act in ways that may prove unsafe ...

In essence, it is, however, crucial to further note that, women have increasingly been on the move to fight for their rights.

Human organization inevitably comes into play, in which positions of authority are recognized and tasked to maintain and improve the political, economic and religious affairs of ...

Abstract

The Altar basin found in the north western Sonora of Mexico, is a known subsidiary basin forming the present inactive part of the Colorado River delta. The sedimentary records of this basin show how the delta upgraded over a late Miocene. A structurally distinct aquatic basin at the northern end of the Gulf of California is found. Our interpretation of outcrop data, and information from exploratory wells, as well as analog seismic lines of Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), and magnetic and gravity explorations from various sources pointed to the existence of three sedimentary sequences, which can be related at regional scale ...

- According to philosophers, stress is supposed to be understood as a response to particular environmental stimuli, for instance, loss of a job or exposure to excessive noise. However, according to research that was conducted by Holmes and Rehe (1967). The Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) method was dissatisfied to the research since most of the events listed, they relatively rarely occur in anyone’s life. The researchers could use a scale that could reflect the greater degree of the daily variation experience of people in levels of the stress they are experiencing. Their approach measures one aspect of stress that causes ...

Analysis of “Stranger in the Village”

Part 1.

The black man insists, by whatever means he finds at his disposal, that the white man cease to regard him as an exotic rarity and recognize him as a human being. This is a very charged and difficult moment, for there is a great deal of will power involved in the white man’s naivete. Most people are not naturally reflective any more than they are naturally malicious, and the white man prefers to keep the black man at a certain human remove because it is easier for him thus to preserve his simplicity and avoid being called to account for ...

Liberty. Among the most widely putative theories of liberty is that there must be a single predominant formula under which all the comprehensible locutions about personal freedom and liberation. The pervasiveness of this notion largely influences Gerald MacCallum’s classic article, “Negative and Positive Freedom”. The author provides that the need for freedom of an individual is realized once an element of constraint is determined. These elements of constraints prevent individuals from becoming or becoming something. Liberation is a triadic relation between individuals, constraints, and ends. To ensure full liberty, the constraints to the “ends” should be completely inexistent. These insights ...

Aimee Bender’s fictions are symbolic of human emotions and struggles largely analogized and formed through fairy-tale representations. The Girl in the Flammable Skirt is by and large in the same vein and is a collection of short stories that seems to suggest a narration by a teenage girl. On reading The Girl in the Flammable Skirt, in each of the short stories, the one common moral and that is one of trauma interlocked with pittance. The story about a young girl who comes home to find her dad carrying a backpack which seems to resemble a bag made of stones is intriguing. In the ...

This is a field that is normally concerned with the unforeseen period of the end of human civilization. In the excerpts from their books, the authors express their feelings and worries that this period will take effect as a result of potential catastrophes that will ensure that humanity within the human beings will no longer be existent. The authors give several reasons that could potentially lead to such events. Among these reasons are arguments that nuclear warfare could lead to eras in which humanity will be forgotten and hence not practiced. They also foresee that this period could be due to ...

Every human being we have encountered or will ever encounter is a complex end result of multiple influences. Every entity that he is exposed to leaves an impression on his thought process and often times if we sit and analyze one particular person in detail, we surely find remnants of those who have impressed him in his actions and words. It is therefore possible to critique or appraise him with reference to his inspirations. This paper aims to dwell on the work of the distinguished fiction writer T.C Boyle and in doing so will highlight the influence of another prominent ...

Introduction

Life has different attractions, points of interest, meanings or attitudes that varies across one’s existence. What might have seemed funny engaging at a young age might be considered irritating or upsetting at a more advanced age. This change in the attitude towards life is part of a process, the process of getting older and it is underlying the generation conflict. The generation conflict theme is common to the short stories that will be comparatively analyzed in this paper, respectively: Katherine Mansfield’s “Miss Brill” and Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find”. The generation conflict has distinct ...

Apparently, rehabilitation has the purpose of making a person that has deviated from the expectations of society become productive and acceptable in the community.

Life is full of uncertainties and it’s never obvious when one is to lose a loved one. Coping with death is not an easy task even though people have been bereaved since time immemorial and have generally recovered. Every loss is unique on its own kind. Besides, every individual is unique, thus grief experiences varies remarkably from one individual to another. While some people experience normal grief reactions and cope well, others experience more severe grief reactions and may take too long to recover. This paper focuses on the grief experience of Ruth Fuller, a 34-year old mother of three, ...

Sexual abuse is seen as one of the gravest crimes a person could commit after murder or killing. A victim is physically and sexually tortured or abused by the suspect, either by forced intercourse or similar acts, which often leads to traumatizing effects for the victim. Some would often find victims mentally unstable after the assault, traumatized to see people with the same gender as their attacker or even be with people. Others would become haunted by nightmares, leading them to taking their lives or succumb to insanity. A few may only attempt to recreate the act and become the ...

People have been using drugs in social rituals since the dawn of history; the only change is in the type of drug, the route of delivery, and the social context.

Progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN) is a variation of herpetic necrotizing retinopathy seen largely in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is caused by varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the virus that causes chickenpox and, when reactivated from dormancy in the dorsal root ganglia, herpes zoster (shingles). It initially attacks the periphery of the retina and then spreads to involve the entire retina. Unlike typical herpetic necrotizing retinopathy, inflammation of the anterior chamber and vitreous is minimal or absent. It is manifest by variable severity of vision loss at the outset, with a variable but largely discouraging visual outcome. (Engstrom et ...

Central serous retinopathy (CSR), also known as central serous chorioretinopathy, is characterized by separation of the two major layers of the retina (the innermost layer of the eye): the inner neurosensory layer (which contains cells that transmit electrical impulses to the occipital lobe) and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) (the outer layer of the retina that contains the photoreceptor [light-receiving] cells). The mechanism of this condition is leakage of serous (serum-like) fluid from a portion of the choroid (the layer of the eye just outside the retina) called the choriocapillaris (a network of small blood vessels located in that portion ...

Attachment Theory describes intergenerational attachment relations. The theory makes a valuable contribution into studying child development by suggesting the possibility of helping children by working with their parents. Empirical evidence shows that self-reliant and secure individuals usually have supportive parents, who allow and support autonomy. One of the main conclusions of the Bowlby’s research was that children need warm and intimate relationships with the permanent caregiver (most often mother) to grow up mentally healthy. The quality of interaction depends on the sensitivity of the attachment figure to the child’s signals. Moreover, during the preschool years the so ...

Although both were written in Greece in the same century, Seferis’ poem “Denial” and Ritsos’ poem “Eyewitness Testimony” bear many differences. They vary in point of view, subject matter and style. However, there are some similarities. Both poets, for example, use imagery to enhance the themes of their poems. Furthermore, both rely on symbolism as a technical aid in portraying the desired meaning and tone of the poems to the reader.

Giorgos Seferis was the writing pseudonym of Geōrgios Seferiádēs. He was born in 1900 and died in 1971. He was a significant figure in Greek poetry throughout ...
