Abstract

Scholars across the board have been persistent on the need for the near perfection of the concept of vital signs monitoring. Prior contributions to this field of knowledge all seem to bend towards correcting the wrongs that at times overwhelm the nursing practice, while at the same time constructing updates and ingenious suggestions towards the bettering of methods of monitoring vital signs. This paper cuts across the dimensions of nursing practice as applied in a reflective situation, and the evaluative outlook into the perks of vital signs monitoring as a physiological assessment process, its outcomes, and its repercussions both ...

The provisions of the ICTY are designed in the manner so that to address all criminal offences that are committed by the state bodies and relevant executives in the prosecution of particular persons. The article 6 of the ICTY defines that committing of the criminal actions ...

1) Theories are to concepts as hypotheses are to variables. Hypotheses depend on tests that suggest multiple variables. On the other hand, theories are made up of concepts ("Theory and Practice of Social Research" 4). 2) Does a hypothesis propose a relationship between dimensions or variables? Yes. A hypothesis depends on the link that exists between two or several variables. Whereby, a slight change in variable ‘A,' leads to a change in variable ‘B.' In this case, it can be almost predictable that if the first event occurs on the first variable, then we expect variable ‘B' to ...

Both the readings have a similar purpose and that is to explain what scientific research is and what its components are. Both of them are in the position to believe that science is not something that can be based on personal opinions; rather, it is based on evidence. Pring’s main argument is that the ontological dualism between quantitative and qualitative research are false (60). On the other hand, Chalmers strongly argues that in scientific research, the senses should be used objectively rather than subjectively (5). Both the scholars focus on scientific observation and how it should be done ...

Is Hand washing more effective in Infection Reduction versus Gel Hand Sanitizers?

Introduction

Today, the burden of health care-associated infections (HCAIs) are drawing attention not only from governments and health care regulatory bodies but also from patients and more so from health care practitioners (HCPs) themselves. This phenomenon is not merely because of the magnitude of the problem regarding the associated incidences of mortality, cost, and complexity of treatment, and morbidity, but also due to the growing recognition and understanding that, most of these complications are preventable. The medical fraternity is thus witnessing in tandem unprecedented improvements in the spread ...

Reflection Paper

Article Summary

In this article, Maura Sellars examines the role of the teacher as a change agent through reflective practice. The author argues that it is the teachers and not education authorities, curriculum developers, or policy makers who are the most effective, durable, and powerful agents of educational change. She also contends that the reliability and proficiency of change in education practice depend largely on the capacity of teachers to develop self-knowledge and reflective practice. According to the Sellars (2012), historically, these aspects of teacher development have not been emphasized in the process of preparing and promoting effective teachers. ...

Introduction

Proper presentation of data collected during a study is imperative to the credibility of a research. In fact, lack thereof compromises the interpretation embraced by the people relying on such information due to the possibilities of miscommunication in the presentation process. As such, researchers ought to follow a compelling approach whilst communicating the results of their study regardless of the research design followed. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that there are multiple research approaches followed in the delivery of psychological research information. According to the Emergency Medicine Journal, the popular research designs include observational ...

Owing to the fact that learning in an academic institution is a comprehensive process, students are exposed to a wide spectrum of stressors. This situation is mainly attributed to the fact that they are compelled to appreciate the content being put across by their teachers while handling their personal affairs simultaneously. According to the Journal of Organizational Behavior (2016), active stress development hinders the overall cognitive abilities of an individual thereby limiting their productivity. As such, students are less productive when they are exposed to the vulnerabilities of stress in their academic institutions. To prevent mediocre performance due to ...

Are Parisians really rude or arrogant or is this another stereotype?

Introduction One of the critical issues that affect the study of human behavior is the way different people understand the responses given and give an accurate report on their findings. Various individuals have engaged in numerous anthropological and ethnographic researches in attempts to understand why some communities behave in certain ways. A widely held serotype is that Parisians are rude and arrogant and they often show a significant level of dislike to non-Parisians. However, this can be treated as individual’s perception, and researchers would want to confirm whether such stereotype is true. Some individuals tend to place judgment ...

Difference between Positivism and Interpretivism

Positivisms refers to the philosophical means of gauging the validity of information right from its observed evidence. Under this system, the aspects of knowledge got from non-scientific means, for instance the metaphysic evidence would be regarded as invalid. Thus, positivism aims at understanding a social establishment through observing known facts. On the other hand, interpretivism focuses on understanding through experience. Thus, this includes understanding the meaning of an action or actions in a social context through things like paying attention on a unique point of view. In this respect, interpretivists disagree with positivists that human behaviors can be explained ...

There are two main research methods used in determining the information about an individual, and they include the following;

Qualitative research Quantitative research Both of these research methods are basically different, and in this discussion, qualitative research will be the one on focus. By definition, qualitative research is a kind of research method that determines information on why and how things were done in a particular way, and who did it and why. In other words, qualitative research observes the behavior of a person and describes why they have done something such as a criminal offence (Patton, 2005). It is based on the following for collecting information;

I have chosen to discuss observation type of data. Observation is a type of data collection technique which utilizes activities that watch or observe events, physical traits and characteristics and behavior (ETA Evaluation Brief, 2008). There are two types of activities involved in this data collection method namely overt and covert observations. In overt observations, the subjects being observed know that they are being observed as opposed to covert observation, where the subjects have no knowledge of the activity. Overt methods are considered more ethical since the identity of the observer and the actual activity is made known. However, ...

Smoking, drinking, overeating and accumulating stressors are behaviors that become pronounced in adulthood though they trace their origins to a much younger age probably around the teenage years. These behaviors do not just crop up out of the blues. They start and develop over a period. The various theories and theorists in this context are keen on pointing out the psychosocial nature of an individual. They show how the actions and expectations of a person conflict with those of society and how that could therefore lead to various behaviors in adulthood. The theories in contexts have their different ways ...

While I think the unleaded gasoline would indeed do better for people, I think there must be more studies on the possible effects of this change. While there are diverse ways on solving environmental issues, experts and the government should decide which ones are the best. In my opinion, simply replacing leaded gasoline is not a ...

Introduction

Architecture as a discipline has evolved over time, with architects from different periods adopting unique approaches to architecture. In the 1950’s, the architectural world saw the introduction of the theory of the postmodern architecture . This came hot on the heels of the famous modernist approach to architecture, which had the support of various classical scholars and architects. The primary argument in this paper is the fact that the post-modernist approach to architecture was a representation of the effort by architecture to establish a voice of its own. This is built on the realization that architecture is a dynamic ...
