Dreams have always inspired artists to produce real visual images. Paintings in pre-historic walls are evidence that human beings have been representing their dreams since time immemorial. Artists in all generations since man’s civilization have been using dreams as inspiration for their works (Barrett 7). Artists such William Blake, Salvador Dali and Edward Burne-Jones, are among those painters that have used dreams as their inspiration. William Blake Jacob’s ladder (1800) William Blake was an English painter, poet, and printmaker in the Romantic Age. Blake was talented in expressiveness and creativity. Most of his works lack the influence ...

There are times when a nursing problem arises as a result of a number of findings, and these findings are pulled together into a summary in order to see the big picture created out of these findings. This act of pulling together is what Brown & Ochs (2018) calls a systematic research review (SRR) or systematic review, which helps researchers identify “what is known with certainty, what is tentatively known, and what the gaps in knowledge are regarding an issue” (p.175). It serves as a link between the individual studies performed and the decision making done in order to create ...

End-of-life care refers to the provision of care to patients with incurable terminal illnesses and patients who are in a permanent vegetative state, and that type of care is one of the most commonly debated ethical issues in contemporary health care for two reasons. First, because of the development and advancement of medical techniques and technologies, physicians and nurses are now able to prolong the patients’ lives, but those interventions do not always improve the patients’ quality of life or maintain their human dignity (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). Second, the human population is aging, so the prevalence of terminal illnesses ...

If we consider theology as the study of God, or the study of the divine, or the study of the nature of God, then the definition that Mueller puts forth for theology and his justification for taking part in its study make a lot of sense. He breaks down the word into its two Greek roots: theos for “god” and logos for “word” or “understanding” (Mueller 2011, p. 28), and that leaves one with a wide range of possible interpretations. Given that Mueller has an “S.J.” after his name, of course, we must conclude that he will take on ...

Policy Manual Introduction

A policy manual is a general guideline that details the policies and best practices that an organization in a particular industry should follow. This is the case with health care in general and protecting patient data in particular. Starting from a manual system, an electronic or automated system has been found to enhance best practices in the field of health care (Hamilton, Jacob, Koch & Quammen, 2004).

Breaking away to be with Jack is meant to signify rejecting ...

Article one

The war between Israel and Palestine presents an important moral paradox and tragedy of this age. This is because on one hand, several innocent lives are being lost and, on the other hand, it is a war that must be fought by all means and has proven that it cannot be fought morally. In this regard, therefore, it may be said that the war is collateral for a better future. That stems from the justification and necessity that Israel had in waging war against the Hamas. Israel acted on self-defense since Hamas continued bombing Israel’s territories and its ...

Healthcare has been experiencing tremendous transformations in the recent past, and this can be attributed to the changing health needs of the people. To adapt to these changes, the models of care delivery, care services, and even the personnel, have changed as well. Also, there is an increasing need to provide patient-centered and culturally sensitive care, as cultural diversity continues to pose a challenge to the delivery of holistic care. One approach of delivering care services is by focusing on a family, identifying the specific health needs of such families, and developing plans of treatment that are focused on ...

<Institution> Questioning minors in relation to criminal acts is not an easy task. Interviewers must consider certain things to ensure the effectiveness of the process. In the case of Jacob, it is clear that the detective committed several mistakes, which need to be improved and corrected. One of the major mistakes in the scenario is the detective’s use of leading questions. For instance, the detective asks “Why did you take the garment?” This suggests that the detective already believes that Jacob did commit the crime without hearing his story first. According to Underwager and Wakefield (1995), leading ...

It is worth mentioning that running a marketing campaign is not an easy task as many people may believe. It requires adequate planning and analysis (Keller, Parameswaran, & Jacob, 2011). The project requires careful management right from when the idea is created up to the time the campaign wraps up. Our project will, therefore, entail running a successful marketing campaign. For any company, marketing and advertising are inevitable endeavors as they allow a firm to compete favorably with other players within the same industry. However, some companies carry out marketing campaigns but end up failing to improve the status of ...

The institutional affiliation

Nursing practice experiences constant changes due to the implementation of new trends related mainly to the demographic shifts, medical research, and technological advancements. Being the closest to patients’ caregivers, nurses are considered as major contributors to healthcare organizations. Nurses are obliged to have an evidence-based understanding of the significant influence that can be made through health promotion interventions and deliver this understanding to the community at large (Sanjiv, 2014).

History of the Jews in America is much less dramatic than history of the Jews that lived in Europe. In the USA, the Jews were not discriminated as it happened in Russia, Germany, France and other major countries. In addition, American Jews benefited from the “black-white” racial discourse that was popular in the USA for several centuries. As a result, they had more chances to be accepted in the American society than black people or other outsiders. Nevertheless, there were several short periods in American history when American Jews had to think of the ways how to protect their ...

Throughout history, there have been many great thinkers. They have sprawled among many disciplines, from philosophy to physics. Nevertheless, some of these have made important contributions to many fields at the same time. One of these cases is that of Blaise Pascal, who was deeply influential in mathematics, philosophy and theology. In a sense, one could say that these three disciplines were intertwined in his work. By studying the loftier aspects of the human experience, Pascal was able to bring together probability theory and his worries about the existence of God. As such, his notorious wager was a turning ...

 Why professional bicyclists have recently been descending hills at greater speeds.

Pedaling is a compound sport, which involves competitors, who must compete with a diversity of approaches, numerous environmental factors, and roughness on the ground. The operation on high grounds is an essential ascertaining victory factor in the leading international cycling tournaments. The main forces that a bicyclist must prevail over are; the gravity and air resistance. Air resistance rises exponentially with momentum. When pedaling from a smooth road to an ascending hill, the reduced speed lessens the air resistance to a level where leading other riders offers little benefit. Smaller bicyclists, who prefer to have a higher authority to ...

The Alignment between the values of an organization and those of a nurse usually has an important impact on not only the engagement of the nurse but also on the patient outcomes. Where a strong alignment exists, nurses usually experience a higher sense of job satisfaction. Also, the nurses tend to become more committed towards the organizational course (Bamford, Wong & Laschinger, 2013). Further, an excellent level of value alignment facilitates the elimination of turnover behaviors including tardiness and absenteeism. Besides, as it was revealed by Bamford, Wong, and Laschinger (2013), value alignment leads to a motivation for superior performance. ...

Globally, people make assumptions, judgments, and decisions about one another or things around them based on responses they receive from others. These assumptions are according to nonverbal communications that people use within their own cultures and how they deal with others. Often, these nonverbal reactions affect the way people communicate with and among each other, which makes understanding these nonverbal cues crucial when developing and maintaining relationships with other people. Do people expect other cultures to adapt to their own culture or are they willing to adopt another person’s culture? Are people expected to compromise or are they ...

The central question in Paul Pierson and Jacob S. Hacker’s Winner-Take-All Politics is why Americans so often seem to oppose programs or ideas that would directly benefit them. In the view of the authors, the American people should be overjoyed at things like the Affordable Care Act and increased regulation of the banking industry, but they are not. In the book, these two political scientists consider the reasons for this being the case. Moreover, they contend that Americans reason to be concerned about the fact that the wealth of the nation is becoming ever more concentrated in the ...

The ASIMO’s concept of a chair is not an instance of Searle’s original intentionality. In this context, intentionality can be translated roughly to mean representation. According to Searle, it is not right to say that a machine can think by virtue of running programs. in such instances, the intentionality that is characteristic of these programs comes from the original intention of the interrogator and the programmer. These two people are outside the machine. Thus, the machine is not making judgments based on thoughts. Rather, it is just giving specific answers to the specific questions based on the ...

Brand Management

Introduction As per the American Marketing Association (AMA), the definition of a brand is a name, term, symbol, design or a combination of them, which is intended to identify the goods or services (Cohen, 2011, para. 3). These products may belong to one seller or a group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of competitors (Korchia, 2012 p. 13). However, there exist several other definitions for the term "brand." In such circumstances, it is always good to use a standard definition that can be used under every circumstance. The AMA definition is the best one ever definition ...

Introduction

Upholding ethical character is essential to the success of any organization. In fact, lack thereof compromises a company’s performance as it leads to mediocre performance or complete failure. With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that the people in a work environment are exposed to multiple forms of discrimination. The development of this issue is largely accredited to the fact that the corporate environment has a broad level of diversity. As such, some individuals might not appreciate the personalities of other workers, and they may end up making discriminatory criticisms. Sexually oriented discrimination is very ...

Humour at the Workplace

An increasing body of research points out that humor has considerable positive effects on the workplace environment (Loyalka). Humor has been shown to relieve stress leading to healthier and happier employees which in turn is manifested through increased productivity. However, as is the case with any aspect of the workplace and life for that matter, there is always need for moderation. There is a very fine line between being merely funny and offensive. In the case of Jim, it is evident that his apparent transitioning from male to female is bound to attract some form of satire which in ...

After hearing such negative sexist talk directed towards a colleague, I would take several measures aimed at ensuring that the perpetrators of the act know that their actions are wrong and should not be repeated. I would also put effort in supporting Jim, who in this case is the victim, encouraging him and urging him to stay strong in a bid to make sure that he comes out a much stronger individual. The best means of communicating would be face-to-face communication as it is a rich channel that enables instant feedback and suitable for personal conversations (Cameron, p.68).

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) safeguards health care services in the United States. It embodies numerous statutory clauses that not only affect the health care system but also creates the necessary impetus for quality and precision in the sector (Schoenewolf, 2012). Before its enactment, the health care system in the United States was fraught with inconsistencies that were detrimental to the overall quest for quality health and wellness. Due to the broad nature of its provisions, the Act may take some time to be fully implemented (Schoenewolf, 2012). However, such a challenge should not deter the ...

Chemotherapy destroys carcinogenic cells but also attacks in many cases some normal cells including essential elements of the immune system. Fever is one of the characteristic symptoms of FN and is usually associated with the presence of an infection caused by various microorganisms. Bacteria, including Gram-positive isolates (currently dominating) and Gram-negative species (dominant in the 1970s), are usually ...

The Apple and FBI, privacy against law enforcement, debate that was shaping to be a landmark showdown took a surprising turn as things ended without further tussle.

The journal estimates that, with the retrieval of the information on the iPhone, few people expect a conclusion to the developed case. However, the legal experts have different ideas on what the FBI and Apple dispute means and would result to, especially ...

Introduction: “A course in religion is ideal as synthesis of liberal arts. It is no longer the Queen of Sciences, but it is still the Queen of Humanities” (Burton, “Study Theology even if You don’t Believe in God”). In 2006, 37 US states limit public funds spending on religion as a consequence of the separation of the church and the state. Another drawback is the withholding of a promised funding for a qualified student because he decides to take theology as his major subject at a local Bible College. Today, some people think that removing REL 103 in ...

Education has done little to improve social mobility. To what extent does this statement provide an accurate reflection of the role of education in contemporary Britain?

Introduction

The impact of education on equal opportunities and social mobility has been an important concern thoroughly explored in the field of sociology. An early British sociologist of education, Olive Banks, systematically tackled the issue of how an educational institution that establish hierarchy in schools in accordance to a hierarchical labour market could bring about 'parity of prestige' or, in simple term, equal opportunity (Irvin, 2008). There are conclusive sociological findings which reveal how ...
