The demographic profile

As it has been indicated by Kumar et al (2014) in the scope of their study, the lion share of the statistical data on demographic profile of epilepsy from both developed and developing countries may be referred as a retrospective one. It means that there is an insignificant number of the studies, which pertain to the selected age group – children in the current realities of the 21st century (Garzon et al 237-245). As it was indicated by Garzon et al (2003), the core limiting factor in this case is the access to the professional health care services in the ...

There are times when a nursing problem arises as a result of a number of findings, and these findings are pulled together into a summary in order to see the big picture created out of these findings. This act of pulling together is what Brown & Ochs (2018) calls a systematic research review (SRR) or systematic review, which helps researchers identify “what is known with certainty, what is tentatively known, and what the gaps in knowledge are regarding an issue” (p.175). It serves as a link between the individual studies performed and the decision making done in order to create ...

Sexual activity: Biastophilia

Biastophilia, referring to rape, represents the act of assaulting another person sexually without their consent. The victim experiences a surprise attack and continuous violent assault from a stranger as he or she struggles to attain organism and facilitated by an independent sexuoerotic arousal (Fierman 458). Biastophilia happens in different social contexts depending on the intention, social status, mental status, and the prevailing environmental factors. The following paper discusses the Biastophilia in two different social contexts. The first context represents a husband raping her wife (also referred to as marital Biastophilia) while the second context represents a mentally ill person ...

Search and seizure legal procedures draw much controversy because most people have a high level of expectations regarding privacy. This high level of expectations can be traced back to England’s ‘castle doctrine’ wherein the law recognizes the right of a person to defend one’s home or property from unlawful entry (U.S. Government Publishing Office, 1992, p. 1199). Such expectations regarding privacy, however, is not absolute. In fact, the law provides that intrusion on private property can be made lawful under certain circumstances prescribed by the law. There are several provisions under the United States constitution that can ...

Frederick E. Adams (petitioner) v. Robert Williams (respondent)

Facts:

On the morning of 30th October 1966 in Bridgeport, Connecticut an individual approached a policeman and informed him of another individual in a nearby vehicle who had a gun and carrying narcotics (Vile & Hudson, 2013). The policeman acted on the tip and asked the vehicle’s occupant, Robert Williams to open the door. Instead, Williams rolled down the window and the policeman reached into the car and retrieved a gun from William’s waist band (Justia, 2017). William was arrested for unlawful possession of fire arm and a search on his ...

Introduction

Walshe and Rundall (2001) define evidence-based practice as the provision of medical services based on empirical evidence retrieved from thorough scientific research and the relevant characteristics of the patient. The aim of using such methods when making critical decisions about a patient is to eliminate risk and promote quality treatment (Murray & Lopez, 1996). This paper provides survey questions relating to the utilization of evidence-based health care methods in medical facilities. It also includes a cover letter that can be used to invite respondents to take part in the survey.

Q. 1: The Defendant’s Competence to Stand Trial

No, the defense team feels that the defendant is not competent to stand trial. This is because Mr. Stu Dents must have been suffering from delusions at the time of the commission of the alleged crime. From the evidence obtained in the Journal entries containing references to aliens, God, and the end of the world, it is argued on the defendant’s behalf that he was suffering from some mental defect which made him have a deluded feeling that killing was a way of “fulfilling his destiny.” Moreover, the defendant’s combative, irrational, and agitated behavior at the time ...

Question 1

The article focuses on the new archaeological findings which show that life in America could have started earlier than the time it is said to have started.

Nursing Theory Analysis Paper

Many researchers globally have researched on the discipline of nursing and developed some theories aimed at explaining some health care phenomenon. Theories of nursing play a critical role in influencing the outcome of different areas of practice including research, education, administration, and nursing informatics. Nursing theories fall under the mid-range theory or grand theory classifications. The analysis below discusses the theory of Transcultural Nursing by Madeleine Leininger that falls under the mid-range category of nursing theories.

Analysis of the Transcultural Nursing Theory

Background Leininger is well-recognized psychiatric and mental health professionals of the 1950s. Earned her first diploma in nursing in 1948, advanced to a ...

Most people have tried to explain the term justice from different perspectives. Justice is seen as a simple word, but the truth is the word justice is very complicated. Justice can be based on the concept of moral rightness that has varying perspectives on ethics, fairness, religion, rationality and law. On the other hand, justice can be termed as fairness in the protection of the rights and the punishment of wrongs. While the legal systems and other tribunal aim to uphold the ideal through the proper and fair administration of the laws, it's likely to have the unjust laws ...

BODY CAMERAS TO BENEFIT POLICE AND CITIZENS

There is a sustained perception by minority groups such as African-Americans that the law enforcement officers treat discriminately. This has increased incidences of police involvement against the demographics. However, the introduction and use of body cameras come as a panacea towards bringing to an end the unprecedented cases of police brutality and use of excessive force. In addition, civil suits concerning police brutality launched by African Americans are expected to reduce the involvement of body cameras. According to the H.Res.16, the wearing of body cameras by local law enforcement agencies while serving the communities encourages transparency and protects both ...

After Giving Birth

NR451 RN Capstone Course Term and Year After Giving Birth Even though postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of mortality after giving birth, most health care facilities do not have a standardized measures to assess blood volume loss and rely only on visual estimations for assessing and documenting blood loss. Consequently, blood loss below 250 mL tends to be overestimated, whereas blood loss above 2,000 mL tends to be underestimated (Bamberg et al., 2015). Inaccurate diagnosis of PPH delays treatment and increases mortality risk among intrapartum and postpartum women, so the purpose of the proposed nursing plan ...

The purpose of this paper is to review the article, “Was Darwin Wrong?”, by David Quammen (2004) and to offer some discussion at the end of the paper. The main thrust of the Quammen’s article is to provide a description of the current and past evidence that supports Darwin’s theory of evolution through natural selection. With a few exceptions, the title of the article is answered with a firm “no, Darwin was right.” Quammen first began with a discussion of the concept of theory and explained that a theory is an explanation for a set of circumstances ...

In his article, “Don’t Blame the Eater”, David Zinczenko (2002) talks about the practices of fast food companies that are harmful for the consumers. The thesis of the article is that fast food companies should be responsible with their customers, informing them about the caloric content of the products that served, but also about other substances that might be harmful for their health. An important point that the author makes is that consumers, especially teenagers, should not be blamed for eating at fast food restaurants, because they do not have many alternatives for replacing fast food. The evidence ...

The fingerprint processing and the DNA processing can be done simultaneously. In fact, the fingerprint collection is beneficial for the processing of DNA evidence, but there is one way that the fingerprint processing can actually impact the collection of DNA evidence, and that is through contamination of DNA due to the fingerprint reagents.

Scientific Paradigm and its Role in a Scientific Revolution

The scientific paradigm is the standardized and acceptable structure that provides a way to model problems and draw solutions to the scientists and other researchers. Paradigm provides guidelines to field members for their understanding to tackle the problem. The role of scientific paradigm in a scientific revolution is that it provides a successive transition from one paradigm to another that helps to develop a pattern of mature science. It also helps the scientific community bound their discipline to carry out research on any subject matter.

The first step of research is to formulate an accurate and precise research question which could have come from previous studies, or of a particular need or interest, and even for policy making. When formulating the research question, it is important to define the terms in which this research will be done. The main assumption that is found in the drug industry is that conclusions from published research found in prestigious journals are considered valid merely because they have been already scrutinized and published. It is an assumption that comes from accepting things as valid simply because we are ...

Cases of inappropriately handled evidence are of common occurrence. The custodians of evidence in law enforcement agencies are often to blame for the mishandling, misplacing, loss, and destruction of evidence. Sometimes, the custodians do not take the appropriate care of their property rooms. Consequently, problems arise from the lack of accountability for evidence from the initial process of evidence collection through to the documentation process. Hence, it is crucial to document as many details as possible to avoid scrutiny of evidence during the trial process.

Evidence Collection

Collecting evidence in a systematic and careful sequence is crucial. The initial step in ...

The exclusionary rule holds that, when the police violate a suspect’s constitutional rights, that suspect has the option of requesting a court to “exclude” or declare inadmissible any evidence that was obtained as a result of the constitutional violation. The exclusionary rule is not a constitutional right but rather a judicial tool established by the Supreme Court in 1914, as a means of deterring police officers and law enforcement officials from violating the Constitution when arresting suspects and conducting criminal investigation (Weeks v. United States, 1914). Up until 1961, the exclusionary rule was only available to defendants in ...

Introduction

Law enforcement has turned out to be extremely challenging in the contemporary changing social and cultural climate. It has continued to experience a range of challenges that are generated by the existing environment. The law enforcement practices, as well as policies, have received a lot of public scrutiny. Terrorism, large-scale population movements, globalization, and entrenched social problems have made the enforcement of the law, especially by the police, more challenging. The contemporary policing is primarily marked by the uncertainty and broadening of crime deterrence problems. Among the law enforcement officers, the police have been scrutinized heavily by the public. ...

The Environmental Protection Agency is a body that works to ensure that the environment is clean and safe for the US citizens. From the article under analysis, the body is at a risk of losing its powers due to the political play that is at hand. Having being established by President Richard Nixon it carries a strong grass-root that cannot be ignored. With the rule of President Donald Trump, his new E.P.A administrator Scott Pruitt was in the frontline of fighting against the body. It, therefore, becomes a danger zone for the body because a lot could change. The ...

On November 5, 2009, the son of Palestinian immigrants, Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan randomly fired into a crowd at a processing center at Fort Hood, the largest active-duty military post in the country (Army Major kills, n.d.). One would be hard pressed to find a larger military stage to conduct such blatant murder. Despite the Major shouting ‘God is great’ in Arabic, “Allahu Akbar”, just before he opened fire on soldiers who were either returning from deployment, or getting ready to be deployed, there was a denial by the government to officially label the shooting as an act ...

Introduction

One of the most common strategies of criminal defense attorneys when representing a defendant who has an unusual condition such as a mental abnormality, is to argue either that regardless of their actions, they are nevertheless not responsible for the crime or that they never had the capacity to commit a crime. The reason that criminal defense attorneys can make these arguments is that criminal law recognizes a number of unique situations where otherwise criminal conduct should not be subjected to a determination of guilt and the offender should be exempted from the crime (LaFave, 2000). These arguments, which ...

The police, courts, and the correction facilities did an outstanding job in finding out the details of the case. However, there were a few questions raised as to how the case was handled. The Lindbergh baby had been kidnapped. After the child's nurse had notified the parents of the child missing, they reported the issue to the local authorities (Shoenfeld, 1936). The police were informed and had a difficult job determining whether or not this was an inside job or not since the kidnapping occurred at home and nobody noticed anything out of the ordinary. The baby had been ...

Traianou and Hammersley (2008) argue that it is widely accepted that both educational policymaking and education practice should be evidence-based, or evidence-informed. According to Traianou and Hammersley (2008), this is expected to be common place amongst policymakers. Teachers are not expected to operate on ignored evidence (Traianou and Hammersley, 2008). The evidence-based practice movement’s origins lies in medicine and claims that research evidence should be given a higher priority in the decisions made by both policymakers and teachers (Traianou and Hammersley, 2008). This essay intends to compare five different articles regarding evidence-based and evidence-informed practice amongst teachers. The ...

Healthcare environments are significantly prone to the risk of infection. Apparently, given the many avenues for possible infection that are evident in healthcare environments, there is an urgent need for intervention that such places demand. Several studies have revealed that all the people who participate in such environments stand a risk of getting infected, an aspect that further raises concern on the way those in charge of such places conduct their activities. The current paper identifies where the risk stems from, the possible interventions that should be initiated to curb the involved risks and it provided a reliable model ...

Inductive and Deductive Profiling

Inductive profiling goes by the assumption that known and unknown criminals of a categorical offending host certain similar features in spite of different crime scenes. As such, the law enforcement agencies apply the traits of known offenders and past crimes to the identify suspects, who are the unknown subjects. Although this form of profiling is ideal for rapid generation of leads to potential culprits, it may be challenging given that different individuals may engage in similar behavior for different reasons (Yonge, & Jacquin, 2013). Hence, inductive profiling relies on group data in the identification of suspects. The classification systems of ...
