This paper seeks to focus on the PICOT question “For children and adolescents who are victims of burns, does continued physiotherapy until full growth and development as compared to standard care reduce the risk of scoliosis and future ...

“Trifles” is a play written by Susan Glaspell who was inspired by a murder she had reported for a newspaper. This one-act work depicts two farmwives who hide evidence that could convict another woman abused by her husband, John Wright. The play was performed in 1916, and cause resonance by its unusual plot and daring female characters.

However, there are no policemen, ghosts or mystery; it is a narration about how two housewives challenge the male domination without rights to do ...

Introduction There are many ways on how to analyze an action, including languages or speeches; and one of which is through the dramatic pentad. The Dramatic Pentad refers to the five methods developed by Kenneth Burke in analyzing human actions. According to scholars, the Burke’s Pentad to analyze questions such as “how persons explain their actions to themselves and others, what the cultural and social structural influences on these explanations might be, and what effect connotational links among the explanatory (motivational) terms might have on these explanations, and hence, on action itself” (Overington, 1977, p.133).

Tabarrok (2016) asserts that the modern trade theories in global businesses today focus on the roles of businesses in increasing their scale returns, as well as, network effects in their markets. The use of such theories and concepts have the propensity of building large business bases thereby allowing their domination in the markets of the world. (Kreckova, Odehnalova & Reardon, 2012, p. 67). Therefore, the following article will discuss the foundations of the modern trade theories in relation to the concept of comparative advantage and its analysis in two countries and competitive advantage together with the policies that can be ...

Outsourcing manufacturing activities from a local community to the developing countries is a decision that raises different opinions for varied organizations, community members as well as the workers in the foreign nations.

Introduction

Some organizations are successful while others are not successful. There has been arguments as to what causes some organizations to succeed and what causes others to fail. Some literature support the view that organizations succeed if they recruit skilled and experienced employees.

Still, some argue that it is a combination of leadership and employees with certain qualities because leaders are required to direct employees to achieve the vision of their organizations. But what differentiate good leaders from bad leaders? Allio (2007) argued that ...

Abstract Every speech is embellished by metaphoric expression, despite its context, content, and tone. In different fields the application of metaphors may vary, yet still they are applied regardless the situation consciously or unconsciously. In the speech of adults, metaphoric expressions play pivotal role serving as the instruments of persuasion, simplification, and demonstration. There is less evidence that explain the utilization of metaphors by children. Some scholars insist that children use metaphoric expressions unconsciously, while the other researchers imply that they implement the metaphors due to their symbolic perception of the environment. There is certain inconsistency in the results ...

The Expanding Roles of Advance Nurse Practitioners

The roles of advance practice nursing have continued to develop around the globe in response to the need for specialized nursing care offered at advanced practice levels (Kleinpell, Scanlon, Hibbert, Ganz, East, Fraser, Wong & Beauchesne, 2014).

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 ...

In the 1972 Supreme Court case Furman v. Georgia, two of the most comprehensive arguments in opposition to the death penalty were made by Justices William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall. Brennan’s argument centered on three elements. First, simple because the death penalty was used from the birth of the nation to the present, did not mean that the nation could never abolish it (Tabak, 1991). A modern proof of Brennan’s argument here is that while the death penalty was historically a common punishment in societies across the world, today 140 countries have abolished the death penalty in ...

The ivory trade has been an international problem for decades.
