Kinesio taping is a common practice to improve kinetic and kinematic performance. In turn, the use of technology allows for better stability of muscles and joints, as well as increased resistance for muscle contraction. Taken together, these effects allow both to minimize the risk of injuries when loading the joints and to increase the mobility and elasticity of muscles in the long term. Additionally, kinesio taping helps in relieving muscle pain in neurological disorders. Thus, this technique is widely used both for improving the athletic opportunities of healthy people and for rehabilitation. However, the greatest effect is associated with an increase in athletic performance in healthy people during eccentric exercise, while the effect is insignificant for running activities. Kinesio taping is actively used both for the prevention of muscle and joint injuries in healthy people and for rehabilitation after various injuries. It was invented in the 1970s, and it is “air-permeable, water-resistant, and elastic adhesive tape that can be stretched to up to 120% to 140% of its resting length” (Hosp et al. 636). Kinesio tape easily attaches to the muscular skeleton, supporting or suppressing muscle activity, as well as providing stability to ligaments and joints (Park et al. 2). Additionally, Yang et al. note that kinesio taping can limit longitudinal muscle stretching to 55-60% of original capacity, positively reducing muscle edema and correcting alignment (2). Taken together, these factors emphasize that the technique provides significant support to both muscles and joints, allowing for increased stability. Thus, kinesio taping can be used in coaching to prevent the occurrence of joint and muscle injuries, as well as to relieve muscle and joint pain during the rehabilitation period. Preventing possible joint injury is the main focus of kinesio taping in coaching. Hosp et al. argue that knee injuries are the most common type of exercise-related injuries, “which account for almost 40% of all injuries in athletes” (632). In turn, the risk of their occurrence is increased by muscle fatigue and impaired body balance. The mechanical property of kinesio taping can provide a stable joint position through external physical force (Park et al. 2). Kinesio taping has a positive effect on balance performance and helps prevent injury, especially in healthy athletes. Moreover, it is noted that the positive effect increases with poorer initial characteristics of balance in the athlete (Hosp et al. 640). Thus, athletes with below-average balance abilities get the greatest benefits from the practice. The study does not specify how effective the technique is for athletes with more developed balance abilities, or whether there are significant differences in its application depending on this factor. Additionally, kinesio taping helps in relieving pressure on joints in a fatigued state during exercise. At the same time, the effectiveness of taping depends on

Introduction The American constitution has undergone various reforms that are imperative in enhancing justice. Initially, the loopholes in the American constitution paved way for injustices and wrongful convictions. After realizing the constitutional problems that undermined the justice of the innocent individuals, the American parliament instigated various legal amendments (Hamer, 2014). The U.S parliament provides constitutional safeguards through the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth amendments found in its constitution. Such amendments have brought remarkable changes to the achievement of justice through the incorporation the Miranda warnings, the Rights to Counsel, the Speedy Trials, the exclusionary regulations among others (Hamer, 2014). This essay analyses the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth amendments of the American constitution, their application to the adult and the juvenile court proceedings, and their influence on the routine court procedures. The Fourth Amendment The Fourth Amendment of the American constitution protects the innocent civilians and suspects from unreasonable police searches and seizures that infringe the human rights (Davies, 1999). This clause prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures on the individuals, their documents, and their houses, unless there are valid oaths or affirmations to approve the searches. In the courts, some conditions must apply. Issuance of the warrants – regarding searches and seizures carried out with a warrant, the conditions are that, the warrants must come from a neutral magistrate or judicial officer (Davies, 1999). A probable cause – There must be a probable reason or reasonable facts for the issuance of a search warrant. Particularity – A search warrant must explicitly state the places that deserve searching, and the things or the persons that deserve apprehensions to limit unreasonable searches and seizures. The Fourth Amendment also governs the valid searches and seizures that are without warrants. Some exceptional cases allow searches and seizures without the issued warrants (Davies, 1999). Police officers shall carry out warrantless searches and seizures, when dealing with lawful detentions, search incidences for specific arrests, vessel searches, vehicular searches, consent searches, border searches, drug issues, administrative searches , and other legitimate circumstances (Davies, 1999). In the court proceedings, the law enforcers must follow the due process of carrying out lawful warrant and warrantless searches or seizures. Both in the adult and juvenile court proceedings, all searches and seizures undertaken in breach of the conditions that govern the warrant and warrantless search conditions are illegal (Davies, 1999). Judges shall consider the warranted searches unlawful if the police officers ignore th
Organizational change can occur due to the introduction of new information technologies. This may affect the structure of work flow in the company, reporting lines of employees, and product offered, among other aspects. The leaders at various levels in the management chain are critical in organizational change management. They may be charged with the sourcing of the new technology, deployment of the new technology to the various departments and management of the time frames of implementing the new technology. Critical to the success of the change and its adoption by the company is the company’s employees. The employees will be using the new technology in the day to day work. As such, any challenges either due to attitudinal problems or lack of technical know-how will impart on them most. The leaders must, therefore, communicate to the staff on the need for the new technology. The leaders must communicate to the staff on the impact of the new technology to the overall business objective. This is useful in addressing the attitudinal problems of staff that may impede change. The new technology may also present challenges on the technical front. The leaders must be careful to implement a training session to enable staff to adapt to technology. The training helps the staff understand how new technology differs from the previous technology. This is critical in understanding the process flow of the new technology and how it imparts on them in their duties. The use of rewards by leaders as encouragement can be critical in the organizational change. Different individuals adapt to changes in different ways. The role of rewards is critical to the people considered to be early adopters and the early majority. The early adopters are employees who have liked the change and hence adapted it. On the other hand, the early majority is the group waiting to see how the early adopters are using the new technology. Their adoption of the new technology is dependent on seeing effective use of the new technology by the early adopters. The leadership must, therefore, identify early adopters in their team and encourage them to use the technology. One way in which they can be motivated is through awarding them. This paper has been critical in evaluating the challenges presented to leaders at various levels of managements. It has underlined the significance of leaders as change agents in the institution. It has also attempted to present the different qualities tha
What are the chief criticisms that Chief Justice Roberts’ dissent makes of the conclusion that the right to marry is a fundamental right? Obergefell v. Hodges is one of the most significant cases of the US Supreme Court, in which the Court ruled that marriage equality is a fundamental right of the citizens guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Issued June 26, 2015, the decision declares that all states are obliged to issue marriage certificates to all same-sex couples, as well as to recognize such certificates issued legally in other jurisdictions. Before “Obergefell” 11 American states refused to recognize marriage certificates of same-sex couples in other states. The case appeared in the Supreme Court for the reason that Jim Obergefell could not make Ohio recognize dying John Arthur as his legal spouse and heir, despite the fact that they were married before in Maryland. The majority considers same-sex marriages as a fundamental right to marry inherent in the liberty of the person 1 . However, Justice Roberts expressed his dissenting point of view. First of all, he reveals the comprehension of a new law and its true value. “It is not for us to decide, whether same-sex marriages are a good or bad idea; taking into consideration this particular matter, we are depriving the voters of the right to choose, and impose their opinion,” notes the Chief Justice Roberts in his dissenting opinion 2 . Second, Justice Roberts emphasizes the meaning of a marriage that is de jure, free, and voluntary union of a man and a woman, aiming to create a family generating mutual rights and obligations 3 . Marriage enjoys the protection and patronage of the laws only at the conclusion of its compliance with the conditions and entails legal effects known in the field of personal and property rights and responsibilities of spouses in relation to each other and children. In the course of history, nowhere and never, same-sex marriages were not legalized since the purpose of marriage is having children and caring for them. Humankind should multiply. In addition, children born in same-sex families would have an automatically defined stigma 4 . For example, it might promote sexual confusion and sexual experimentation in young people’s lives. Justice Roberts states, “the Court invalidates the marriage laws of more than half the States and orders the transformation of a social institution that has formed the basis of human society for millennia” 5 . In this case, the right to marry is not the same as the initial right. Do you agree with the majority or with Justice Roberts on whether the right to marry is a fundamental right, and why? In my opinion, the legalization of same-sex marriage in the US Supreme Court would certainly go down in the short-list of key events of American history and the whole world as well. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution guarantees all citizens equality before the law of the United States and gives them legal guarantees. Translat
Introduction Nurses can play an essential role in helping the patients who are affected by chronic diseases. In particular, one should consider those individuals who struggle with diabetes. This disorder is incurable and serious, but it can be treated (American Diabetes Association, 2013). Apart from the stress caused by the fact of falling chronically ill, it leads to permanent changes in a person’s lifestyle, which is often difficult to cope with. A nurse, however, can and should assist a patient with such a disease. The following actions of a nurse can promote the state of a patient with diabetes. Promotion One First and foremost, nurses are the source of accurate information for their patients. In case of diabetes, this includes (but is not restricted to) the information about suitable lifestyle or proper insulin usage (Modic et al., 2014, p. 157). For example, the intensiveness of insulin therapy depends on the type of diabetes. Similarly, nurses should inform patients about the diet that they have to follow (Modic et al., 2014, p. 161). Consequently, it is important for the nurse to stay informed about the latest trends in caregiving Modic et al., 2014, p. 160) Promotion Two Secondly, the nurse of a diabetes patient should promote his or her self-management. For this disease, self-management includes “adhering to a prescribed medical regimen and making lifestyle behavior changes” (Kaakinen, Coehlo, Steele, Tabacco, & Hanson, 2015, p. 250). The latter is often one of the most difficult things, especially for children (Kaakinen et al., p. 244). The problem is that the patient should be able to perform the necessary actions without the nurse’s supervision. Self-management, therefore, requires motivation that can hardly be achieved only by providing the accurate information. It would be impossible to define a single way of solving this problem since its particular elements depend very much on the personal qualities of every patient and his or her circumstances. Still, a couple of guidelines could be suggested. First of all, it appears that the nurse needs to establish a certain level of trust with the patient that will be extended to the prescriptions and advice provided. Secondly, the nurse needs to be sensitive both to the patient and his or her environment to determine the line of action that should encourage self-management. Promoting the person’s self-efficacy, for example, could help in certain cases (Kaakinen et al., p. 250). Finally, the nurse should include and involve the patient’s family into the process: it is obvious, that the closest people can become a source of support and hope for a chronically ill person. Promotion Three The family of the patient is another concern of the nurse that has long been recognized. For example, in 1990, a Family Management Style Framework was develo
Abstract The current paper is concerned with the topic of the role that culture plays in the process of change in an organization. The objectives of this work are to scrutinize this role in more detail, to analyze some models of change implementation for an organization that have proven to be effective, and to employ the gathered knowledge in practice, proposing some recommendations that might help the company of “Yahoo” to increase their potential and once again reclaim success in the market. An important point that is made in this paper is that culture in an organization is essential; among other things, it is crucial due to the fact that it can serve as an enabler of changes. Next, the authors adopt the point of view that change is a process rather than an event, and that this process can be broken down into three stages. These stages roughly correspond to Kurt Lewin’s three-step model of implementing change. Furthermore, the paper argues that Lewin’s model is consistent with John Kottler’s method and offers to interpret Kottler’s method as a specification of Lewin’s model. These findings allow for an integrated implementation of these two methods of change. To implement these findings, the authors of this paper offer some recommendations to the company of “Yahoo.” It is advised that the enterprise’s leadership focuses more on the “unfreezing” stage of implementing changes, communicating the vision to the personnel, and also pays more attention to the “refreezing” stage, making the innovations a part of the company’s everyday life. Introduction Change is an essential part of today’s world, and it is crucial for any business that wishes to be successful to be able to implement change in order to adapt to the dynamic business environment. It is also worth pointing out that culture plays an essential role in any organization and can be the deciding factor for its success. Unfortunately, many of the contemporary enterprises often tend to ignore the importance of culture and pay too little attention to it. Therefore, it is of great significance to review and stress the role that culture plays in organizational development. The aims of this paper are to investigate the role of culture in the process of change, to analyze some of the most famous and successful methods of implementing change in an organization (that is, Kurt Lewin’s and John Kottler’s models of change implementation) and consider how well they match and whether they can complement one another, as well as to use the gained knowledge in order to offer some recommendations to the company of “Yahoo.” After discussing the theoretical framework for the paper and formulating the research question, we will proceed to the theoretical discussion about the culture’s importance for imp
Thesis In the last seven decades, the United States government decided to fill the gaps that exist in the global political systems. Such gaps are created by the collapse of governments, power centers, failures in international relationships, and, most notably, military conflicts. Thesis statement: Even though the U.S. military force positions itself as the “policemen of the world”, there is major controversy existing around the U.S. military forces participating in military conflicts abroad, namely Syria and Cameroon. Outline Conflicts in Syria and Cameroon are the two real-life incidents that both relate to U.S. military action abroad. It is difficult to differentiate between which one of these conflicts relates to controversy within the U.S. public and which one is connected to controversy within the countries affected by the U.S. involvement since both of them affect the global community on several levels. The military actions in Syria started on the 22nd of September 2014 and still takes place to this day. When initially the U.S. supplied the Syrian rebels with non-lethal aid, in 2014 the military began its mission to eliminate the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, a force that desired to establish its authority over all Muslims around the globe. Because the conflict caused more than 4 million Syrians to fled the country, the American government continues to support the refugees with humanitarian aid (Blanchard, Humud, & Nikitin, 2015, p. 1). The U.S. military intervention in Cameroon started in October 2015 to provide support to the African forces to battle against the Islamic terroristic forces in the Western African region. Despite the many claims that the deployment of the U.S. forces was not measured with the volume of the threat, the democratic forces of Cameroon regard the help from the government beneficial (Diallo, 2015, para. 3). When it comes to the aspects of U.S. history that led the country’s forces to become the world’s police, it is important to mention the following three points:   * Second World War (1939-1945) that greatly influenced the country’s momentum to establish the most powerful military force in the world.   * The Cold War (1947-1991), which became the focal point for the U.S. becoming the protector of the world’s freedom and democracy.   * Global War on Terrorism, a campaign targeted at battling with the global terrorist forces after the events of 9/11. To further explore the policing role U.S. military took in the course of its campaign, the following three military incidents are to be mentioned:   * The Korean War (1950-1953) in which the U.S. government in cooperation with the UN sent its troops back the North Korean army to its territory and prevent the invasion of South Korea (Saylor Academy, 2011, p. 1).   * The Lebanon Intervention targeted at sustaining peace in the region until the president of Lebano
