How does the story of the Ugly Duckling in chapter four of the Pinkola Estes book relate to your OWN values, beliefs, experience and personal/professional understanding as a caring-healing, ethical nurse working with women? I find the story of the Ugly Duckling intriguing and extremely validating for me. The story stresses on not giving up no matter the situation you find yourself in, rather continue pressing on until you realize your goals (Estes, 1992). The story holds so much for me because it is about the journey of self-discovery. We are currently living in a world inhabited by an ...

Imogene King in her theory of goal attainment stresses on the need for ensuring accuracies regarding the ...

However, the exact number of the alcohol abusers is very difficult to determine because people tend not to share this information. Thus, the numbers among civilians are very rough as ...

Introduction Wheat (Triticum sp.), an extensively adapted crop, is one of the primitive and primary staple food crops in the world. Wheat is cultivated from temperate; dry to irrigated or rain-fed areas, to warm, humid or cold conditions. Such a high adaptability is attributed to its intricate genome (Acevedo et al., 2002). Wheat cultivation covers more land area compared to other commercial crops and endures to be an essential food grain for humans (Curtis, 2002). Estimations reveal that by 2050, the population of the world will reach 9.1 billion (34 percent greater than today); correspondingly, the food requirement and ...

Complications of Removable Implant Supported Prostheses

Introduction The two main complications that result from removable implants are biological and mechanical/technical complications. There is need to assess and interpret data on the incidence of complications, both biological and technical with caution.

According to Sadowsky (2007), there are no specifications on the length, distribution, and number of implants; however the suggestion for non-palatal coverage designs should be a minimum of 4 implants.

CHAPTER THREE: MAN AND ARAB MASCULINITY

As Carabí and Armengol (2014) show in their study, Arab masculinity is a hybrid concept entailing adherence to traditional patriarchal values held for centuries in the Arabic world and supported by the religious component of Islam; however, it also “allows liberal values” which might contradict this traditional patterns. Cultural and societal representation of Arab masculinity is thereby rather complex and might emerge in a variety of contexts including family and society on the larger scale. In these representations, stereotypical images of man in traditional Arab context might enclose controversies and correlations between liberal-secular masculinity and conservative masculinity image entrenched ...

Abstract

Many behaviors showed by children and adults are learned from television shows, movies, and novels. Fictional characters in a movie demonstrate specific types of behaviors that viewers and readers end up adopting in reality. The analysis of a movie helps in associating these characters to a specific psychological disorder. The aim of the paper is to analyze the character of Ariel in the Disney Movie Show “The Little Mermaid.” Ariel demonstrated hoarding disorder in the cartoon movie. The behavior of keeping many items in an untidy manner characterizes the disorder. Risk factors associated with the disorder include personality, age, ...

Abstract

Do the imbalances in current accounts still matter in today’s deep global financial markets that exhibit two-way gross economic flows that dwarf the new outcomes provided by current accounts? Contrasting the adult perception of the world and complete markets, extreme current account imbalances indicate severe financial and macroeconomic stresses, particularly as was the case in the mid-2000s. The increasingly massive valuation differences in nations’ net global investment standards and positions, as well as risk allocations, cannot be relied upon to offset the variations in regional wealth systematically as implied in the current accounts. The same conditions that warrant ...

Philosophy Research Proposal

The research question chosen for this paper is the determination of the existence of a relationship between the type of therapeutic intervention and self-harming behaviors in adolescent girls. The author of this paper has hypothesized that there is indeed a correlation between the type of therapeutic intervention and the resulting self-harming behaviors among adolescent girls. This means that adolescent girls receiving a certain therapeutic intervention will display a more significant decrease in self-harming behaviors as opposed to adolescent girls who do not receive a therapeutic intervention. For the null, hypothesis, it would basically suggest that there is no correlation ...

Work environments affect individuals physically, psychologically, spiritually and/or emotionally.

There is a long-standing debate on whether student-athletes should be paid for services rendered to their respective colleges or universities. On one end, it is true that the very spirit of amateurism dictates that such benefits should only come in the form of school stipends, perhaps as an added benefit to scholarship grants. On the other hand, it is also true that the magnitude of revenues garnered by universities, amounting to hundreds of millions and in some cases even billions of dollars, would imply that it is only fair for students to have at least a minimal amount of ...

Introduction

Bend (flexure) testing is often done in springs as well in brittle materials whose behaviors of failure are linear like concrete, wood, plastic, glass and ceramics. Bend testing is suitable for evaluating the strength of brittle materials where the results of tensile tests aren’t easy to interpret due to the breaking of specimens around the gripping (Schoffstall, Charles, and Robert 234). In bend testing experiment, smooth rectangular specimens without notches are recommended under three or four point bend arrangements. Figure I below illustrates three point and four point bend arrangements respectively. Figure 1. Bend testing of a smooth ...
