Many of these events have been reported by the media, both the electronic and online media. This article will focus on one key human resource management event reported by the Society for ...

The autobiography of Catalina de Erauso is very attractive for scholars, who investigate such aspects as identity, authorship, sexuality and gender; the most important aspect can be considered masculinity of this character. She had desire to become a man for receiving the status in society, which was dominant by males, and the possibility to show her identity. The transformation of Erauso’s conduct into masculine manners, sometimes in violent form, was necessary for persuasion and becoming powerful, successful and accepted at the times of colonial Spain. Her destination, attitude and deeds have made this person exciting and extraordinary in ...

Before an individual opts to pursue a particular area of specialty, he or she considers various forces and elements. The factors are termed as the labor market instigators. The motivators affect the results of undergraduates’ decisions concerning different subjects. They are important to the students and in making public policies. The interests are dictated by the level of employability in the social discourse and in the proposals to direct governmental funding in support of different specializations. Davies et.al, (2013), directs its focus towards the labor market motivations in England to provide a generalized format of understanding the choice of ...

Healthcare professionals are responsible for not only facilitating recovery of a patient from health issues, but also preventing injuries to the patient during and after care. Despite the immense efforts by stakeholders in health to ensure safety of the patients under care, zero cases have not yet been achieved, as sentinel events are still a major challenge to patients and the healthcare industry. Park-Lee and Caffrey (2009) estimates that 9.2% of all people admitted in hospital acquire one or more nosocomial infections. The Joint Commission (2015) defines a sentinel event as an unexpected situation that leads to the physical ...

What assessment tool would be used to determine the patient's risk for falls? Provide evidence to support your answer.

The St. Thomas’s Risk Assessment Tool in falling elderly inpatients (STRATIFY) would suitably be used in the assessment of this patient. It is based on the assessment of a total of five fall risk factors namely transfer and mobility risk, agitation, visual impairment, frequent toileting as well as fall presentation as a complaint which are rated on a scale of 1 to 5. These are essentially the major risks that are common in elderly patients who are risk of falls.

Globalization informs a lot of day-to-day activities for business, communities and individuals. This impact cuts across different functions and activities. In order to understand impact of globalization on day-to-day activities, a closer contextualized reflection is required. For current purposes, my day-to-day activities are noted and analyzed in order to identify impact, if any, of globalization in contextualized day-to-day, personal, routine activities. This brief reflection starts by a short list in a quasi journal form of day-to-day activities. This is followed by a reflection on noted activities. More broadly, implications of globalization's impact on my day-to-day activities are discussed.

Question 1:

David H. Autor shares insight into his analysis on why income inequality has continued to rise since the 1970’s. According to Autor, the primary source of this inequality has been due to the need for “a rising skills premium” for securing employment (Autor, 843). Whereas there once was a point in American history where blue collar labor jobs were in high demand because of the large manufacturing that was occurring in the United States, in modern times these jobs have been dwindling. In place of these labor jobs there has been a demand for jobs that involve cognitive ...

Introduction

Millions of cells are always being removed in the human body in order to regulate biological pathways and keep cells healthy through a particular mechanism called cell death or apoptosis. Through apoptosis, such homeostatic death of cells has been defined as a tolerogenic or a non-immunogenic event for many years [1]. However, during the past few years, scientists have discovered the occurrence of a different concept of cell death – immunogenic cell death (ICD), where the death of a cell stimulates a response from the immune system against antigens of a dead cell, and this mechanism of cell death may ...

The enduring widespread political and public engagements in the Arab world have actually empowered many segments of the public in those regions. The debate on the impact of social media on various aspects of the Arab world as well as globally continues among the Arab policy makers. The incessant strong progress, acceptance and diversity of the usage of social media platforms across the entire Arab world in the recent years, specifically in 2012points to the fact that many well-known movements like the Arab Spring and extensive social media usage are sweeping the Arab world. ...

Article’s Purpose

Strategic management attempts to comprehend the factors that sustain competitive advantage in firms. Since the 60s, most research has been structured based on one organizing framework. The approach suggests that firms acquire sustainable competitive benefits by using techniques that depend on their internal strengths. They respond to environmental changes while neutralizing internal weaknesses and external threats. Most studies published on the sources of competitive benefits have focused on isolating the threats and opportunities of a firm, explaining the weaknesses and strengths, and evaluating how they are interrelated to assist in the formation of strategies. This article has chosen to ...

The Changing Role of Women

The 21st Century represents an era with a tremendous amount of rhetoric regarding persecution, and/ or myopic bigotry. The obvious irony is that the roughly 200 nations on Earth, roughly 905 of them have established constitutions or commitments to the rights and privileges of their citizens (Chafe & Chafe, 1991). Although established in ...

ISSUE OF PUBLIC HEALTH: TYPE II DIABETES

Diabetes is a significant problem in places like the United States, particularly type II diabetes. Type II diabetes is often associated with obesity and poor lifestyle choices, although genetic predisposition also seems to play a role in the development of the disease (Look AHEAD Research Group, 2013). The three studies chosen for discussion here are all studies that examine the impact of diet and lifestyle choices on people who have type II diabetes; many of these researchers are interested in developing methods to offset the significant health risks and population-wide costs of such high prevalence of the disease. The ...

While the bulk collection of phone record has been over, its restoration is the most optimal decision since there are no software program adequately replacing the wiretapping system, which is what makes the solution so important minimizing the vulnerability of the United States. Of course, there are ethical concerns; however, a saved human life is the best argument to consider ethicality a conventionality avoided for a greater good. Financially, the country is on the winning side, as are its citizens. The economic weight and irreplaceability of the USA is unlikely to damage the finances due to wiretapping concerns.

Introduction The US-China international relations attract much attention of politicians and economists all over the world as the key influential and transformational factor on the global arena. Ferguson & Schularick (2007) adopted the term “Chimerica” to describe the peculiar relationship between US and China established during the decades. According to ancient Greek mythology, the Chimera was a monster with several heads, legs and arms representing a strong animal able to dominate the world and threaten its stability. Analyzing the world global crisis 2008-2009 and recession phenomenon Ferguson & Schularick (2007) referred the “Chimerica” concept to the emerging monster, which currently regulates ...

Inequalities have been a traditional part of sports. Throughout history one can find many examples of inequality in sports due to race, gender, or disability. This inequality is becoming unacceptable in society and organizations, societies and clubs that are created to exclude individuals are seen as unacceptable. Now more and more organizations are seeking guidance in planning inclusion activities for women, people with disabilities and ethnic minorities. In this paper I will be focusing primarily on the inclusion of disabled people in sports activities. According to Bickerton (2005, citing Stafford 1995) physical literacy has been defined as “as developing ...

Customers dislike waiting on long queues to receive services, hence a speedy process implies that an organization can serve more customers by using existing resources or reducing the resources. The properties of processes that may impact on the throughput time in a hotel setting include the size, fittings, layout and furnishings of the bedroom, the serving process, the materials and equipment used to the hotel, the customer and the employees at the hotel. Throughput time refers to the time that is needed to deliver a service to the customer and the main intervals in the throughput time include processing ...

Cognitive radio means an intelligent and adaptive radio that knows its environment. Cognitive radio technology is a solution used to enhance utilization of spectrum enabling the users that are not licensed to exploit in an opportunistic way. Unlicensed users are considered as temporary on the spectrum that is licensed, and once a licensed user reclaims it they are expected to vacate. As a result of licensed users reclaiming the spectrum, there are disruptions in both unlicensed and licensed communications that are always difficult to prevent. To address these problems, a spectrum handoff structure is proposed for cognitive technology to ...

English literature spanning various centuries reveals idiosyncratic trends and ideals of British history, which allows students and scholars to examine and assess successive literary periods. Indeed, literature can be situated within its historical context because literature cannot be separated from the context in which it as written. Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales underscores societal concerns with regards to corruption. Moreover, it provides a window into the historical ideals with regards to gender and how women were expected to behave and comport themselves according to their class. In a similar fashion, Beowulf, a classic in old English literature, reflects the ...

Question 1.

Every individual is included in the American dream although their participation in achieving success is on an optional and voluntary basis. The American dream is an ethos in the United States that gives a set of guidelines and freedom that are necessary for an individual to achieve success, and a form of social upward mobility for their children and their families. Based on the statements made by Truslow Adams every individual is included in the American dream irrespective of the race, class, or status in the society. Life, in this case, should be richer and better for every individual ...

Wilkerson uncovers the very deep-rooted realities of why racism still exists and never dies. Slavery exists because the caste system is the core system of the United States. White becomes the standard race. Blacks, Latino, Asians, any other people of color are below the white race.

Caste is a "fix and rigid" (Wilkerson 16) foundation of the race that is invisible but always present. It is the very root of racism in the United States. Wilkerson carefully defined the types and causes of the caste system, why it is the root of racism. Slavery of blacks becomes the example ...

A Diet After All

Revised Article:

Older people who are struggling with excess weight or obesity are often pressurized by family and friends to take up diets resulting in intentional weight loss. However, a recent study has revealed that weight loss among the elderly may not necessarily prolong their lifespan. Never the less, the researchers who published their findings in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also noted that there is no apparent harm in weight reduction either.

Weight loss among older citizens has traditionally been a cause of concern as it is often a symptom of ...

Introduction

Automobile technology has managed to come a long way. A few decades ago, automobile makers were boasting about airbags being the latest state-of-the-art technology in car safety. Warning systems and collision avoidance have been the latest developments for car technology. Though it is not a new technology, reverse cameras are available with the cross-traffic warning systems for preventing drivers from reversing from their parking spot into the oncoming traffic. Again, the vehicle sensor technology has been used for detection and prevention from all-too-common dangerous situations. These technologies are perfect for ensuring individuals and families are kept safe. Also, technology has helped ...

- In March 1766, Declaratory Act was passed by the British Parliament to affirm the Parliament’s right to pass laws in their colonies “in all cases whatsoever”. This news of repealing gave colonists confidence that British government respected and understood their situation regarding taxes. Few appreciated and recognized the claim of Parliament in passing laws “in all cases whatsoever” through the Declaratory Act. - Colonists wanted to be represented in the Parliament by some one of their own, whereas policies of British were determined by a sole leader. Apart from the colonial legislatures, mobs in many cities demonstrated ...

1.1 Background developments

Traditionally, accounting standards have been developed by different countries on the basis of local legal, economical and cultural institutions frameworks (Elliott and Elliott, 2009, p. 158). As a result, the standard setting was very country specific. With the globalization process at work for the last 3-4 decades and increasing mobility of capital internationally accepted accounting standards have become necessary to facilitate cross border transactions and make financial reporting comparable between countries and companies thereby leading to a greater transparency for investors (Nobes, 2004). IASB has been set up as a private international standard setter with a mandate to create high quality accounting standards ...

In a globalized world, immigration is one of the most important factors that prosperous countries must take into account. This dynamic is not always positive, and the governments of many nations have felt the need to implement different policies to counter the challenges that this disequilibrium begets. Two of the most important entities in the world, the United States of America and the European Union, have very different characteristics, and their approaches to limit immigration have been very different. Even though both have made much advancement, such as more complex infrastructure, ...

Basically, scoliosis is derived from a Greek word and it is known as a medical condition in which an individual’s spine loses its position and it is curvy from one side to another. To define precisely, the shape of the spine or the back is changed from normal to abnormal. Some patients may have had brace treatment during adolescence while others may have never sought treatment during their teenage years. This can occur in the thoracic (upper) and lumbar (lower) spine and has the same basic appearance as that seen in teenagers. (Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)) The conservative treatment is ...

Secondly, income tax usually has very little or no impact on relocation decisions of both the rich and the poor. Most of these people are tied by family, friends and their jobs. Statistics show a very small percentage (averagely 1.7%) of residents in the U.S moved from one state to the other between 2001 and 2010. Some of these moves were across state lines in the same metropolitan areas. Research has noted that there are numerous reasons why people migrate to long distances or fail to migrate but taxes have not had a major effect. Also when looking at the ...

Introduction

There are fundamental gender differences in organizational management styles, values, leadership strategies and policy preferences, which constitute barriers to women’s ascendancy to the highest levels of leadership. These differences not only condition women’s leadership/managerial styles, but also shape the effectiveness of any such styles, which in turn reflect on their participation in public administration. This paper distils the existent conceptual, theoretical and empirical models on public administration, gender disparities, and underlying factors that prevent women’s upward mobility as well as the subsequent effect on organizational outcomes. Ultimately, however, management and leadership styles in any context continue ...

Women have historically played a subordinate role to men across social, political and economic spheres. The oppression is clear in the firmly embedded gender roles set expectations of proper attitudes, activities and behaviour for both genders. Gender differences have persisted in the United States culture due to the systematic socialization of infants and babies, adolescents, children and adults. Women are traditionally expected to hold domestic roles and child rearing, while men, who are thought to be stronger and more aggressive, took on the responsibility of providing for the family. This perception is reflected in the careers that the respective genders ...

There are several benefits to using business mobility. The first benefit is that it can enhance mobility. It allows activities online can be performed anywhere when they were once lied to a physical location. The second benefit is that it provides access to data immediately, which can add value. The third benefit is that it increases the mobility capacity and the location. A person is going to have the ability to monitor and locate their assets. Therefore, a person will be able to reduce the amount of losses that they could have from theft. (Baltzan, 2012).

The fourth benefit is that ...

Sex and gender

Sex is biologically and physiological based characteristics that actually define men and women. Sex also refers to nature as well as biological parts that characterized female and male. While, gender refer to the nature and main ideas about characteristics in females and males as well as their behaviors that predominant in any given society at one time. Gender can be defined as the socially constructed roles, activities, behaviors and traits that are considered appropriate in a given society for men and women. Gender offers social expectations for females and males to be feminine and masculine (Grusky, 1994). This process involves ...

Fall prevention is important in both hospital settings and at home because they can result in fractures, head trauma, soft tissue trauma, prolonged rehabilitation, emotional trauma, loss of confidence, and high patient readmission rates (Oliver, Daly, Martin, & McMurdo, 2004). For the healthcare providers, fall prevention is an essential practice because poor prevention measures can result in increased anxiety or guilt among the staff and litigation from the injured patient’s family if the fall occurs within the hospital.

The elderly population is at a significant risk for adverse events when they fall in contrast to other age groups. According ...

Economists have identified three types of unemployment, which include frictional, structural and cyclical unemployment. Frictional unemployment occurs when workers leave their job in search of suitable jobs and the companies start looking for suitable workers. Economists are not worried about frictional unemployment because the searches by firms and workers to find more suitable matchups is beneficial for the economy (Sexton 265). This is so because frictional unemployment tends to be greater in times of low unemployment, when job opportunities are abundant in the labor market. This high level of job opportunity initiates mobility, which in turn creates frictional unemployment. ...

- Expatriates compensation: Benefits and premiums of choice with rationale In compensating expatriates, an organization might consider several premiums and benefits. There are some factors to consider in choosing these premiums and benefits such as costs of living, access to healthcare, family care as well as foreign policies (Dowling, Festing & Engle, 2008). The benefits and premiums that I would choose include mobility premiums, hardship premiums, and healthcare and childcare benefits. These benefits and premiums are important because international expatriates travel to varied destinations thereby encountering different health and mobility risks (Martocchio, 2012). Considering that most expatriates work ...

Human resource management has since become more interesting with the advent of globalization. Globalization has increased the mobility of labor and exacerbated intercultural movements across the world. In that realization, it has become essential for organizations to staff well. The demand for good and efficient human manpower has occasioned pressure on organizations to ensure that the best and most efficient staff is recruited and maintained. However, due to the competitive nature of organizations, achieving this objective has become relatively hard.

Human resource managers have lately been confronted with staffing problems in the global arena. The problem is arguably twofold. ...

1. Explain the Naturalization Acts of 1790 and 1870.

The act of naturalization of 1790 was the initial effort by the congress to develop an immigration policy. The act constrained naturalization to white individuals who were free and of decent character and had initially stayed in America for a period of two years. The 1870 act on the other had been an initiative by the congress to widen the laws of naturalization in the country so that it could permit the naturalization of African-Americans.

Abstract

A large amount of the existing research work that has been carried in mobile networking are mainly based on the assumption that there is an existence of a path between the sender and the receiver. Decentralized mobile systems are however exemplified by network partitions and this has been one of the main driving factors towards the study and implementation of the fully context-aware protocols. This protocol is mainly based on the fact that nodes can be exploited as carrier of messages in the network partitions in order to attain delivery of network components. The nodes in context aware protocol can ...

P- Patient or population (problem)

One of the primary determinants of the quality of care provided in a healthcare setting is the type or kind of leadership within that setting. The nurse leader or Nurse Manager therefore plays a critical role in helping determine the quality of care. When the leadership style they utilize augurs well with the opinions and needs of their staff, then the quality of care is assured to be high and effective for the current patient population (The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals, 2012). However, in those instances where the leadership style does not suit the staff nurses and other workers, ...
