Global warming refers to the phenomenon due to which the average global temperature rises by a few degrees over a specified period of time, or as the time passes. The concern that this raises is that if the temperature keeps on rising every few years or so, it is not hard to imagine what would be its effects to the global climate and environment over the next few decades. The rise of a few degrees in a few years is not much of an issue; however, if this rise is consistent, that is where the concern of most of ...

Introduction

Nowadays, unfortunately, terrorism has become an issue number on the universal agenda, since its outcomes affect the global security and undermine human rights values. After the 9/11 Susan Rice, assistant secretary of state for Africa in Clinton administration, described Africa as world’s “underbelly for global terrorism”, meaning numerous physical, legal and financial safe havens (ungoverned spaces) in Africa as space for those, who are interested in training, mobilizing and operating terrorists (Solomon n.p.). Therefore, as African terrorism is to threaten the security of the whole continent as well as to erode the peace of the whole world, it ...

Risk is defined as a measure of future projections on uncertainties that affect the set goals, achievements, objectives and performance of business, project or organizations. Risk is often associated with programs such as technology failure, threat, design maturation, supplier capability and performance plan analysis. The mentioned programs are managed through integrated master schedule (IMS) and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Industry risk assessment addresses potential variation in market capability, accessibility, cost structure, profitability, substitutes, cyclicality, and regulations. Therefore there are key elements that must be evaluated during risk assessment (Weagley, 2014). They include a root cause or risk projections that ...

Obesity

Introduction Even if obesity has tapered off in the United States and contrary to our very worst fears, it is clear that dropping the overall rate of 38% of obese adults is a challenge that one can take on from a public health standpoint (“Obesity Rates”, 2017). Without a doubt, the Root Cause Analysis tool can come in handy here given that its five clear steps can help us get to the crux of the problem (“Root Cause”, 2017). So, without any further ado, let’s find long lasting solutions for the obesity problems in the United States. In ...

Reflective Report: Development of a Reward Management System Overview of the situation I reflect my experience at TSB Bank, Benford branch in 2016. The bank was underperforming since the employees were unable to meet the monthly set targets. This situation impacted the bank’s revenue as well as the provision of services to customers. Even after several meetings between the head of operations and employees, the situation worsened each month. A team of specialist was set up to investigate the issue. I was given the mandate to lead this team, and our core task was to identify the problem ...

There are many determinants and health status of an individual or a society/ population. The social environment is one of the major aspects that affects health outcomes for an individual or a population (Nutbeam, Harris & Wise, 2010). Factors within the immediate social environment of a person; including diets, lifestyles and health beliefs play a vital role in shaping the concept of health. This being the case, when it comes to community health promotion, there is an accentuation to view a certain community with the lens of its unique social characteristics in order to understand the quality of interplay between ...

Surgical site infection (SSI) is one reason that patients get readmitted within 30 days following the procedure. A quality improvement (QI) project will focus on prevention in order to lower the hospital’s SSI rate. The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle is an appropriate framework to guide the QI process (Taylor et al., 2014). The “plan” phase entails forming a project team and should involve nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals who can impact the incidence of SSI. The team will perform a root cause analysis (RCA) to assess the contributory factors to the SSI and identify the goals and objectives ...

Nevertheless, sentinel events are not in any case related to the natural sickness of the patient neither the illness result into the occurrence of sentinel events. The ...

Abstract

A look at the problems that face the world which include wars, disease, and injustice among others would prompt a re-evaluation of the social system that is in place. It is evident that the system has not led to an overall improvement in humanity. The common underlying factor among the various social ills that face the world today is the adoption of capitalism as the predominant mode of production and social ordering. The need to outdo the competition and maximize productivity in order to increase profits as the primary motivation for capitalism makes the system susceptible to abuse hence ...

According to a physics principle, “every action has a corresponding reaction and every cause has an equivalent effect” (Cause and Effect, 2016). In the field of history, the meaning of this principle is that in every historical event, there is an underlying cause. This cause is the root of all subsequent events that follow, considered as the effects or consequences. Some people say that this principle is valid because many events or consequences would not happen if there is no root cause just like attributing all misfortunes on earth to Adam and Eve. In essence, these people believe that ...

Root cause analysis

The healthcare system recognizes its first priority as the safety of the patient and the ability to afford the patient groups quality care.

Besides the numerous challenges that the black woman faces simply because of her race, black women are further subjected to feminism by their fellow black men. Women are alienating themselves from the abusive nature of men as the number of marriages between blacks reduce from 70 percent to 38 percent within the last 30 years. Sexism is on the rise with black men targeting their fellow black women. As women become more involved ...

Segregation is something that has literally separated people throughout history and as the world moves towards a more global and diverse model, the spread of anti-segregation initiatives follow. In a country as developed as the United States of America, and one that has led the way in stifling racial tensions since the Civil Rights Movements of the 1970’s, it seems absurd to think that in today’s racially and ethnically diverse society that these are still problems with segregation. The fact is, not only does segregation exist around the world in less developed countries, but it is something ...
