Many professionals often have to question their competency when they have to deal with certain cases. It always needs to be maintained and measured to perform the necessary tasks. It may be difficult for some, but one needs to be able to decide if he or she can handle the assessment of possible risks. Numerous ethical issues in this particular case are related to competency. The very first problem that should be noted in this situation is that the agency should have assessed if I am competent enough for this job. A license of a counselor is required for such a job not to violate the standards of the state. Also, the authority has told that group therapy sessions can be practiced with every client that their employee wants to. Such statements should not be used in this environment because it is not ethical. The biggest problem is that the agency has hired a former intimate partner of an employee as a supervisor. One needs to be informed about such information beforehand. I would have reported this right away because it has been proven that any relationship between a boss and a worker may cause serious problems in the workplace. It is especially problematic from the ethics point of view because they may treat each other differently, especially if they have personal issues. Such incidents could damage the reputation of an agency. Both parties should come to an agreement that they can work together, and their former relationships would not affect the work process. Sexual abuse of children is an extremely hard topic, and it may be hard for some to handle. It may be surprising for some that numerous sexual offenses are committed by juveniles each year (Gill & Raphel, 2009). One needs to be morally prepared to deal with this subject matter. However, since I have previous experience with such cases I feel that I am capable of making an assessment. This particular case and the one where a young man has committed a sexual offense are quite different because the way juvenile and adult cases are assessed is not the same. It is necessary to understand
Introduction history of Aedes albopictus Asian Tiger Mosquito whose scientific name is Aedes albopictus is an Asian mosquito and was recorded first in the year 1985 in the United States in Texas. The coming of Aedes albopictus has been associated with the diminution of the plenty and spread of the Aedes aegypti and yellow fever mosquitoes. Aedes albopictus is a proficient vector of many viruses like keystone, Cache Valley, Tensaw, Eastern equine encephalitis virus, and dengue fever. Among the above-mentioned viruses, there are only two that are known to cause diseases in human beings and these are Cache Valley and Eastern equine encephalitis. The life cycle of Aedes albopictus is closely related to the human environment and surroundings that are conducive for breeding like tires and containers with stagnant water. It feeds during the day and rests in shady areas like bushes or shrubs. It feeds mostly early in the morning and late in the afternoon; it is a self-seeker and hostile mosquito with many hosts that include wild animals, man, and domestic. Aedes albopictus is mostly found in the United States and North America (Center for Disease Control, 2009). The first group of Aedes albopictus arrived into the Houston Ship Channel in the year 1980s through tire casings that are suitable for carrying mosquito larvae. It later extended eastward and northward of the United States since it is able to live in temperate-zone winters. Aedes albopictus was documented in Brazil in the year 1986 and currently, it is distributed in seven states in Brazil. It was introduced into the Republic of Dominican in May 1993 and in September 1993; it was established in Mexico and Coahuila State. Other areas that are infested with aedes albopictus include Tamaulipas, Nueve Leon, Cuba, Bolivia, Colombia, El Salvador, Delta and Benue states in Nigeria, Anambra state, Enugu state and Italy among others(Donald, 2002). Thesis statement The distribution of the diseases caused by mosquitoes is reliant on the relationship among the vector/ species, pathogen and the surrounding/environment. Therefore, each component is of equal significance since each depends on the others. This research paper will focus on the invasion of Aedes albopictus, an Asian mosquito that has become more prominent and extremely harmful to the ecologic
Introduction Performance management plays a pivotal role in the success of any company. The primary goal of performance management and its related set of activities is to guarantee that the organizational objectives are consistent with the business strategy (Cardy & Leonard 2014). Because performance management is so important, the selected actions receive a high degree of evaluation and scrutiny (Cardy & Leonard 2014). In this case, Air Arabia is one company that employs a performance management system to measure its success. The air carrier operates in the Middle East and positions itself as a low-cost service provider ( Arabia.com 2016). Air Arabia highly relies on financial measures to assess the company’s productivity, but it is questionable whether following this key performance indicator (KPI) scheme will have a positive effect on Air Arabia’s future revenue. The debatable nature of this strategy is the primary driver for this research. Moreover, because the airline segment has not been profoundly examined in terms of performance management, this study will offer novel insights to this field. The primary goals of this paper are to provide an analysis of Air Arabia’s current performance management system and to identify key strategic issues that the air carrier faces. The research questions and literature review were formulated in such a way as to explore these concepts from a theoretical perspective, and the methodology and data analysis are presented accordingly. Based on the research, this paper also offers a critical discussion of Air Arabia’s performance management strategy and concludes with several recommendations to improve the air carrier’s existing performance management system. Key Research Questions, Objectives, and Aims As mentioned above, Air Arabia prioritizes numerical and financial KPIs to measure its progress (Air Arabia 2015). This strategy reflects a lack of assessment in other spheres
Introduction Iraq, anciently known as Mesopotamia, is a home of ancient civilisations of the world. According to historians, the cultural history of Iraq began over 10, 000 years ago—cultural history that formed the ordinary soubriquet, the Cradle of Civilisation. However, it is imperative to note that during this time, the name Iraq did not exist, at least not until World War I. In fact, throughout the Iron Age and Bronze Age, Iraq mainly existed as Mesopotamia, a fertile land. Nevertheless, just like any other country with a hierarchy of command, different empires ruled Mesopotamia successively 1 . The paper gives historical accounts of Iraq that occurred between 1945 and 2001. Notably, these events affected international relations and consequently wars erupted. The paper will highlight the accounts of the Second World War in Iraq following the British reoccupation. Here I shall underscore that the cooperation of the Iraq’s Kurds with the Turks affected the international relationship with Britain prompting invasion—British reoccupation. The claim of ownership of the waterway along the border separating Iran and Iraq poured cold water on the international relationship between the two countries, which later led to the famous Iran-Iraq war. Coming from war, the debt-ridden Iraq owed Kuwait, an oil producer, over 80 billion dollars. Unable to pay, Iraq started accusing Kuwait of deluging the market with cheap oil. This affected the relationship of the two countries and eventually Iraq sent troops to invade Iraq. This invasion annoyed several countries including United States and other European coun
Abstract Positioning surgical patients safely as well as facilitating positive patient outcomes is an expected nursing care professional outcome. This is all intertwined in the intraoperative positioning procedures which comprise the art of securing and moving human anatomy in place to ensure best surgical site exposure that would also ensure a minimal compromise to the patient’s physiological functions such as; gas exchange, airway patency, lung excursion, and circulation ). The position should also ensure minimal mechanical stress upon the patient’s joins. Potential injuries during surgery include pressure ulcers, nerve injuries, alopecia, or physiologic comprises. The mechanisms of injury include pressure, shear forces, and friction. Surgical patients are prone to pressure against the OR bed due to gravitational force that upon pressing on the muscle, skin, and bone can affect capillary interface pressure. If this pressure exceeds normal capillary interface pressure of 23 to 32 mm Hg, it may result in an altered tissues perfusion that can result in tissue ischemia. Friction injuries may develop when the patient’s skin rub against rough surfaces such as positioning devices, bed linen, anesthesia equipment, or other surgical equipment. It is thus paramount that the nursing staff and the rest of the surgical team observe the patient’s position and movements during operation. Introduction The patient’s position during operation should provide optimum access and exposure to the operative site while at the same time maintaining respiratory and circulation function, body alignment, and skin integrity. The position must also provide easy access to the patient for the intravenous fluids, anesthetics agents, and drugs administration. The position should also be one that will afford comfort to the patient. The nurse should assess the patient for any existing skeletal, respiratory, or neuromuscular limitation as well as the patient’s size before the operation. To determine patients’ position during the operation, the nurse should consult the surgeon’s preference card for the scheduled procedure and or by posting a slip, Reeder, J M. (2002) Position consideration for all procedures There are key points to consider before any specific procedure takes place. These include,  1. Do not allow surgical team members to lean on the patient.  2. Do not allow instrument table, mayo stand, or other equipment
Wild Carpathia is a travel documentary written and presented by Charlie Ottley. It demonstrates the scenic beauty and rich nature of the Romanian Carpathian Mountains. The documentary consists of three episodes. Wild Forever , the third part, was released in 2013. The episode Wild Forever shows Transylvania and Moldova, the northern regions of Romania. It starts with Maramures, a region in northern Transylvania. This area can be named the heart and soul of rural Romania because ancient traditions and customs are carefully kept there despite the globalization and modernization of the world. The lifestyle of the locals leaves an unforgettable impression. People who go to Maramures come back to the past. Nothing has been changing for hundreds of years. Romanians are born, grow up, get married, work, give birth to children, and die as they did in the past. The main traditional occupations, beekeeping, and woodworking are transmitted from generation to generation. Maramures is well-known for its spellbinding wooden churches. Locals are very religious there. Religious festivals play a vital role in the lifestyle of the people of Maramures. The cemetery known as the Happy or Merry Cemetery is very surprising. It is located in a village called Sapanta. The cemetery does not look like an ordinary cemetery. Instead of gloomy gray tombstones, there are colorful wooden crosses decorated with bright, cheery paintings and poems. There is no spirit of death; the cemetery is more about the celebration of life. Locals do not consider death to be solemn; they believe that death is a joyful moment filled with the expectations of a better life. The Calimani National Park is one more thing to be discussed. It is a natural barrier between the Moldavia and Transylvania provinces. The Calmani National Park is one of the largest national parks in Romania; it is home to numerous species of plants and animals. The largest extinct volcanic crater in Europe is situated there. The park impresses by the beauty of its nature. There are breathtaking views and great landscapes. The park represents a truly unique place due to bizarre volcanic shapes that are located there. There are many activities to do such as hiking, equestrian tours, mountain biking, and others. To sum up, the documentary Wild Carpathia demonstrates the culture, history, and beauty of Romania. The third episode Wild Forever shows the Northern part of Romania. Charlie Ottley, who explores the country, goes to the Maramures region that is famous due to the customs and traditions of locals. The Happy Cemetery in Maramures is a must-see because there is no other cemetery like this in the world. The Calimani National Park is another place worth visiting because of its landscapes that leave an unforgettable impression.
Springhouse Corporation (197) defines advanced practical nursing as caring for patients using advanced diagnostic skills, ordering diagnosis tests, prescribing medications and using medical, therapeutic and corrective measures to treat illness and improve health status. An advanced nurse has many areas of liability that are likely to attract regulatory laws. Common sense and informed judgments can however be useful tools in dealing with these areas. When an advanced nurse’s conduct result in patient’s death or injury the nurse can be held liable and be sued for malpractice. To be on the save side therefore, the nurse must familiarize himself or herself with the many state laws that affect nursing practice and education. There are many areas of potential liability for the advanced nurse practice. Most of these areas are sensitive emergency cases which call for high professionalism, conduct and intelligence. According to (Springhouse Corporation 198) Coronary care and intensive care unit, Psychiatrics, Medical surgical care units, Pediatrics, Recovery rooms, Obstetrics units and areas of independents medical care are areas of frequent litigation. Nurses therefore, must be familiar with ways of reducing liability in their areas where both life of the patient and the welfare of the nurse are protected. There are therefore some management measures that can be used to reduce this liability for the manager, facility and the patient (Kellner 317-35). The first management is to ensure that nurses maintain competence in their areas of specialty. As a nurse, attending some educational seminars which could add to their knowledge is inevitable. This undertaking can instill competence and professionalism. The second measure is to know legal principals and try to apply them into every day practice. Nurses should also have their institution policies and procedures in their finger tips to avoid collision and conflict of interests (Rhodes 54), which could result to legal implication. Moreover an advanced nurse must always respect and admit that he or she can not be a jack of all trades in medicine. To avoid liabilities, which can attract litigation, it is wise to handle only the nursing skills, within his or her scope of practice and, that one is proficient to perform. This is because there is a likelihood of a deadlock when one delves into an area he has little know how. Maintaining openness, honesty to patients and their families can also manage potential liabilities. This has proved to win respect and enhances free communication. When patients are fully satisfied with the services offered, chances of them suing are reduced. Avoiding criticizing healthcare providers in patient’s presence is highly encouraged. Criticizing your subordinate openly takes away patient’s confidence of the nurse thus creating distrust (Mayberry 54). Finally it is a
Nursing Proposal One of the major gaps in nursing care, as applied to the emergency department, is the lack of knowledge which leads to medical errors. This affects various populations groups, such as stroke patients and others (Schober 2017). The knowledge gaps prevent nurses from delivering high-quality care across Australian healthcare institutions and result in poor patient outcomes and increased costs for the institutions. The purpose of this paper is to outline research for the expansion of Advanced Nursing using the participatory, evidence-based, patient-focused process for guiding the development, implementation, and evaluation of the advanced practice nursing (PEPPA) framework. Discussion As based on the PEPPA framework, the population is patients receiving care within the emergency department. The safe delivery of care is one of the current models employed in such settings (McGrath & Foley 2016). The key stakeholder groups include leadership and multidisciplinary teams taking care of patients; nurses are recruit participants. The need for the new model is evident since the statistics suggest that the level of error in the emergency department due to insufficient nursing education is quite high. The priority problem is a major knowledge gap as applied to stroke patients and other patient groups (Martin & Braida 2018). The goal is to develop a new model of care to ensure this gap is addressed, which will result in improved patient outcomes and a lower level of medical errors. In the new model of care, nurses will be given hands-on training to be able to perform necessary procedures (Reichman 2018). In addition to that, neurological assessment should be ensured as well. To implement the new approach, charge nurses will communicate with newer nurses, and all specialists will interact more effectively within the interdisciplinary team. Concluding Points Thus, it can be concluded that the goal of the new approach may be limited to the need to address patients’ needs through coordinated care and improved collaboration. Environmental stakeholders will participate in all the processes actively so that nurses have an opportunity to function more effectively. Implementation will be designed in such a way so that the environment allows nurses to integrate into the system.

At the beginning of the movie, there is a discussion about how owning a home is part of the American dream. How did the housing and mortgage markets trigger the financial crisis? The GSEs, Freddie, and Fannie were not obliged to counterbalance the loan portfolio size with adequate capital arising from the sale of stock to envelop it. This emerged as a result of GSEs lobbying efforts as well as due to the reason that the loans were insured, thus they felt there was no need to do it. As an alternative, they utilized derivative instruments to hedge risk arising from the interest rate variations of their investment portfolios. The derivative’s value fell, followed by their capability to insure the loans. The high exposure to the derivative instruments confirmed their downfall, the same for many banks. The housing prices reduced, even at the end of it, eligible borrowers owed more than the home value. In case they required putting up the house for sale on any ground, they would have lost less cash letting the banks foreclose. The borrowers who had a negative amortization, as well as interest-only debts, were the most affected. In the scene when Paulson sat in the garden outside his home in the middle of the night, and when his wife sat next to him, Paulson explained to his wife that things looked pretty bad. He said something along the lines of “There isn’t a bank in the world that has enough money to pay its depositors…if people are not assured that their money is safe, they will take all their money out of the banks, and next week there will be no money in the banks, and the week after, there will be no milk in the stores.“ If people take all their money out of the banks, what is that called? Disintermediation can take place if people decide to take all their money from the bank. Why don’t banks have enough money to pay off their depositors? The banks did not have enough money due to the financial crisis brought about by mortgage and housing markets. In that, the bank issued loans without looking at the creditworthiness of the borrower, and after the derivative’s value fell, this affected the borrowers as the loans valued increased more than the house value, and were unable to pay the loan resulting in less cash being held by the bank. Explain why people would want to take their money out of the banks? The people may want to take their money out of the banks as a way of protesting high charges from the banks and not lending money as well as a common protest to banks and firm bailouts with taxes they pay with little or no visible benefits to depositors other than the impossibility of getting the loans. Explain how this affects the economy? If people take all cash from the banks, this means that the company or government issuing bonds will be
Introduction Many people have very negatives views of night clubs and associate them with binge drinking, drug abuse, or crime. This is why their activities are closely regulated and their closing hours are usually restricted. However, night clubs cannot be viewed as the sole contributors to the social problems of San Francisco. They create opportunities for people, especially a change for relaxation and social interaction. The government of San Francisco should allow the closing hours of the night club venues to extend to 4 p.m. because this policy will allow many visitors have more fulfilling recreation time. Moreover, it will increase the profitability of such venues and improve their economic sustainability. Here I speak as a resident of San Francisco and as a person who wishes to find a compromise between the safety concerns of the public administrators and the needs of people who visit night clubs. For this speech, I have reviewed various sources showing that the closing hours of night club venues can be safely extended provided that some precautions are taken. Main Body Contention By extending the closing hours of night clubs, the government of San Francisco will provide more opportunities to the residents of this city, especially those ones, for whom visits to night clubs are the only way of relaxation. This policy will also increase the profitability of many nightclubs. This change will not necessarily pose a threat to safety of people provided that the government regulates the sales of alcoholic beverages. These venues also have to ensure that the guests do not take part in illegal activities. If these requirements are met, the closing hours can be extended to 4 p.m. Needs Night clubs serve various needs of many people. In particularly, they serve the need for recreation and social interaction. The visitors of nightclubs go to these venues because there they can meet new friends or relax by listening to music. These individuals do not always go to night clubs with the purpose of taking drugs or drinking. Current restrictions limit the opportunities that these people have. These people are forced to leave at a specific time, even though they have no intention to do so. It is often argued that that the closing hours of nightclubs should not be extended because this policy will increase th
