The implications of terminating an innovation when the data do not support its success, but the personnel in a work setting like the innovation The development and implementation of healthcare innovation projects are one of the most important goals and objectives of a healthcare facility. Innovation projects not only upgrade the status of the healthcare facility but also help in improving the service delivery by the medical practitioners. Despite the great contributions that the innovation projects have in healthcare, there are instances where the innovation could be continued, amplified, modified, or terminated depending on its state. Termination of the project could arise when the data collected does not support the success of the project (Burns, 2005, p.244). However, in this case, terminating the project becomes a problem, as the personnel in the work setting could like the innovation. Therefore, when such a situation arises several positive and negative implications are bound to crop up. For one, such a decision saves the healthcare facility from cases of malpractice whereby it will not have relied on the wrong data to make inferences. Secondly, the healthcare facility will save on costs that could come about due to the use of wrong data, hence preventing its collapse. On the other hand, this decision could lead to opposition from the healthcare personnel who are for the innovation to be implemented. As such, this might have a great impact on the quality of service delivery in the healthcare facility. In serious cases, this could lead to instances of strikes and go-slows, which will in turn negatively affect the success of the healthcare facility. The strategies to use to increase participation and spread the implementation of your innovation should your project be successful Before implementing any healthcare innovation project, the researchers have to determine whether the project will be successful. Once approved, the researchers go back to the drawing board to come up with strategies that will increase the participation of all stakeholders involved as well as spread the implementation of the innovation (Christensen, 2002, p. 33). These strategic plans are essential for the successful implementation and development of the innovation project. The first strategy is that of ensuring that all levels of the personnel are involved in the consultation. Through this, every involved personnel will be participating in the project either directly or indirectly. Another strategy entails organizing the plans such that they are implemented by teams of personnel at different managerial levels. By doing this, the innovation project will be spread at all levels hence making every personnel aware of the innovation. Involving the patients who are undergoing treatment in the innovation is another strategy that could be used to ensure the successful implementation of
Abstract The main purpose of this study is to investigate classroom assessments and their impact to learners and teachers especially in the contemporary education paradigm. Fundamental to the investigations herein, four research questions will guide the findings and conclusion of this study as follows:  1. To what extent are classroom assessments neglected in the contemporary teaching practices?  2. What are the significances of classroom assessments to learners or students?  3. What is the importance of using classroom assessment in teaching practices as perceived by experienced teachers?  4. What are the dangers of neglecting the use of classroom assessments in the contemporary learning? Teachers and students from elementary schools will be the main respondents to this study. Self-administered questionnaires and interview schedules will be the main data collection instruments in this study with teachers responding to interviews while students answering simple questionnaires. Introduction Globally, education has been changing with the dynamics within the world socio-economic realm. In addition, the teaching fraternities across the continents have been setting their focus on improving educational achievement for decades. Education is all about knowledge or concept delivery from an instructor to a learner through any desired teaching or instructional design. Educational sectors have been engaging on a number of possible strategies to enable teachers in examining the extent of successfulness of instructions and concepts passed to students in every classroom session by developing a continuum of classroom assessments. Formative and summative classroom assessment techniques have been in constant use with diminutive knowledge existing on their significance. This researc
The beginning of the 20th century was a time of high racial tension, but not everyone considered it to be tense. Zora Neale Hurston’s essay “How It Feels to Be Colored” encapsulates how she was a complex person with a complicated relationship with her identity of an African-American woman. In contrast, George Henderson’s essay “Race in America,” shows not only the tension of the racial issues in America but also puts them in historical context. In her last paragraph, Zora Neale Hurston presents an optimistic view of race in America that echoes the idea of a melting pot; unfortunately, this is not the case, and George Henderson shows the falsity of this belief. While acknowledging that discrimination exists, Hurston does not support the battle against it, finding it to be an act of self-pity. On the other hand, Henderson writes about the difficulties that ethnic minorities had in assimilating into the melting pot of America. His essay covers some of the possible reasons for discrimination and how it affects people that belong to minority groups. Unlike Hurston’s optimistic but dismissive essay, Henderson ends his essay with a call against bigotry and warns about the dangers of inaction. Bags Against the Wall The idea that all humans are equal is a noble one; unfortunately, throughout history, people have shown that superficial differences can cloud our judgment. Every human on the planet comes from the same gene pool, and this fact gives a scientific basis to this idea. Perhaps it is not a surprise that both Hurston and Henderson represent it in their essays. Hurston ends her essay with a creative analogy about differently colored bags filled with similar contents. She writes: “Pour out the contents, and there is discovered a jumble of small things priceless and worthless,” signifying that every person has the same value and shares similar experiences. This quote shows that she not only believes in equality but feels like she is already a part of the so-called melting pot. Coincidently, Henderson chose to open his essay with almost a mirror image of the same statement: “A much more practical dictum, and one that is often ignored throughout American history, is that all people belong to the same species.” But in the next line he shows that he does not share Hurston’s optimistic view of racial relations in the United States: “Unfortunately, too few individuals believe that the only race of any significance is the human race.” These quotes show that he believes that all people should be treated the same, but in opposition to Hurston, he does not consider it to be the current reality. Perhaps Hurston’s view of race relations in America was formed by her childhood experiences. She grew up in Eatonville, Florida, the first self-governing all-black town to be incorporated into the United States. She describes how until she left the town at the age of thirteen, she never felt like she was different from white people. She describes
Abstract The purpose of this report was to analyze and discus the competitiveness of Flydubai. The analysis indicated that the market in which Flydubai operates is an oligopoly. Although the market has a few airlines, competition is high because customers are price sensitive. In addition, they require high quality services. Air Arabia is the main competitor of Flydubai at the national level. In Asia and the Middle East, the main competitors include Qatar Airways, Oman Air, and Saudia Airline. The demand for flights is price elastic at the regional level. Demand is expected to increase in the medium-term as economic growth improves. Introduction Flydubai is one of the leading low cost carriers (LCC) in the Middle East. The airline launched its operations in 2009 and is owned by the government of Dubai (CAPA, 2013). Despite being in the market for only five years, Flydubai has grown very fast by expanding its seat capacity and route network in the Middle East and Asia. This paper will analyze the competitiveness of the airline. The analysis will cover the market and demand for low cost flights. It will also include the competitors, demand elasticity, and profitability of Flydubai. Moreover, the strategies that the airline can use to improve its profitability in a sustainable manner will be discussed. Market The market in which Flydubai operates (Asia and the Middle East) is an oligopoly. This perspective is supported by the fact that a few large firms dominate the market. Over 50% of the market in various routes in the region is controlled by only four airlines (CAPA, 2013). For example, in the UAE-Saudi Arabia route Flydubai, Air Arabia, Saudia Airline, and Emirates Airline have a combined market share of nearly 83%. In the UAE-Qatar market, Emirates Airline, Qatar Airways, and Flydubai together control 84% of the market (CAPA, 2013). Similarly, Oman Air, Flydubai, and Emirates Airline together control nearly 62% of the UAE-Oman market (CAPA, 2013). Airlines are providing differentiated products to increase their competitiveness. Differentiation is promoted mainly by increased competition from international airlines that operate in the region. Low cost airlines such as Flydubai and Air Arabia differentiate their products in terms of price and service quality (Buller, 2014a). They charge very low prices to overcome competition from full service airlines. However, Flydubai has adopted a hybrid model to offer unique services. This includes offering both business and economy class services. Another important characteristic of the market is price interdependence among airlines. Price and output decisions of each airline are contingent on the actions taken by its main competitors. This means that if one airline decides to increase its output and prices, its competitors wi
IT Department: Introduction What are we? IT Department of a Company that works with clients directly and offers various products. What are we doing? Provide governance, infrastructure, and functionality of all operating systems. When is our work necessary? Not many people understand the importance of technologies in their work and interpersonal relations. Today, the work of every organization depends on the work of its IT department. IT department is the area where numerous innovations and achievements are used to promote the use of operating systems. A properly developed network is one of the keys to organizational success, and the task of IT managers is to investigate the latest achievements and offer the technologies that can be used in the development of professional and interpersonal relationships. Sectors in Organization There are eight main departments in our organization:   * Marketing:       + Management.   * Human Resources:       + Sales;       + Finance;       + IT;       + Manufacturing;       + Administration. In our organization, there are eight main sectors where people have to work and complete their duties. Each sector has its own responsibilities, and we should analyze the work of each department to understand what area can be improved at the moment.   * Marketing – advertisement and promotion of products to customers;   * Management – organization of employees’ work;   * Human Resources – support of employees in an organization;   * Sales – cooperation with customers and generation of orders through various technologies available;   * Finance – ensure financial stability;   * IT – network and operation system organization;   * Manufacturing – the development of all working processes and product services;   * Administration – control of all departments in an organization. Marketing and Human Resources are the two areas chosen for improvement with new technologies. Marketing Department   * Goal : business promotion and sales driver;   * Activities : reach customers, consider prospects, and coordinate people and material;   * Importance : Face of an organization. Its work and achievements influence the whole company because it introduces the image all customers observe;   * Reason to Be Improved : Progress cannot be stopped, and our customers should have access to all new technologies and use all opportunities. What should we know about the marketing department? Its main goal is to promote business and create appropriate sales drivers. Its representatives have to know how to reach customers, consider all prospects that can be used to improve the relations between customers and employees, and promote cooperation of people and materials. The marketing department is the face of a company because all images that can be used to introduce a company are developed by these people. It has to be regularly improved because progress is a constant process. It cannot be neglected, and our people should use the best sources. Human Resources   * Goal : People are important, and employees
Introduction The topic for both synchronous and asynchronous training outlines is professional development. This is the process of learning that provides information on gaining professional and academic credentials such as degrees, coursework, or conferences. This activity has gained a lot of research and includes a multitude of effective approaches that should be explored during these training plans. The training programs would include the most relevant information on possible approaches and their benefits. The synchronous approach to professional development training can be justified by the benefits of face-to-face interaction with a coach. The specific goals of professional development may vary. Therefore, by interacting with a trainee, a coach may provide a more focused course (Jaggars, 2014). On the other hand, the asynchronous training presents all the available information at any time of convenience for a trainee. People with irregular work or study shifts would be able to gain all the desired information without the need for adjusting their schedule (Jaggars, 2014). How to Access the Technology The educational technology for these training courses is Edmodo. Its main goal is to provide an online social learning environment for teachers and their students. The platform allows its users to collaborate with each other, share materials, and manage homework, grades, and various study notices. The service differs from other social networks in its access method. Unlike a normal social network, students cannot join the network without a special six-digit group code that allows access to a group premade by their teacher. Also, students are not required to use an email address to access the website. These two factors enable teachers to not only cater to college-age students but also to younger people who are interested in additional training. The access is quick and does not require an additional payment for the service. The courses themselves can be highly customized which allows for both synchronous and asynchronous training methods (“Edmodo,” 2017). Hands-on Activities The types of hands-on activities available to trainees differ for the training methods. However, activities for both methods can be devised with the consideration of the topic. The synchronous method can utilize some very direct activities based on role-playing. For example, during the portion of the training course that covers the process of consultation, a teacher may present a scenario to a student. The scenario would put them into the position of a consultant, allowing a student to immediately apply the information covered in the course. Role-playing has proven to be an effective studying technique and its nature perfectly suits the face-to-face nature of this training program (Kilgour, Reynaud, Northcote, & Shields, 2015). The asynchronous method of training may
Tissue Plasminogen Activator The usage of TPA involves injecting it into the eye, particularly in the vitreous cavity or into the subretinal stratum. It helps to alleviate any damage received by the fibrin-mediated photoreceptors. One of the benefits of TPA is its relative safety, as the side effects are negligible when used at a dose below 50 mg (Rijken 300). However, should the dosage of TPA exceed 100 mg, it might be followed by retinal intoxication. The common symptoms of toxicity include the severe reduction in B-wave activity, exudative RD, and RPE hyperpigmentation. Some reports are different on that account. Goverdhan and Lochhead (210) report decreased levels of toxicity when using a dosage of 75 to 100 mg. Tsai et al. (723) mirror these observations in their research, where 100 mg dosage was applied to 15 patients with AMD. Two randomized control trials confirm a lack of toxicity in patients when dosage does not exceed 10 or 20 mg of TPA. The reason why TPA is such a safe product is that of its short period of half-life. The drug falls into its basic components in less than 5 minutes, which helps reduce chances of drug-drug interactions with medications that need to be injected into the subretinal space. However, it is recommended to avoid injecting TPA into the eyes within 72 hours after SMH due to the fact that it may cause internal bleeding. However, not doing so may cause additional damage to the eyes due to increased blood toxicity and fibrin meshwork contractions (Sternberg 720). Intravitreal TPA and Gas Intravitreal TPA and gas technique relies on the synergy of two symbiotic processes – the enzyme-induced lysis of the clot, which is caused by the effects of the TPA, and the use of a gas bubble in order to displace and remove liquefied blood out of the eye. According to the existing data, out of 256 patients who have undergone the combined therapy, every three out of four patients reported complete hemodisplacement. 21% of the patients were only partially affected by the therapy, whereas the remaining 6% reported no effect (Fujikawa et al. 1910; Regillo 184; Hassan et al.106; Hesse et al. 5; Hattenbach et al., 1490). There were significant VA improvements in 204, changing from 20/576 to 20/200. Optimal visual outcomes were obtained within 2 months. Negative outcomes were associated with various conditions that also had an effect on SMH, such as disc form scarring, atrophic AMD, and other underlying diseases. According to Hattenbach et al. (1490) and Tsai et al. (724), the most effective outcomes of treating SMH came within 14 to 21 days of treatment. The treatments usually failed when no significant progress was achieved in that time period. The combined therapy also has relatively few reported side effects and is considered to be less invasive when compared to other types of medical interventions against SMH. However, this method tends to have relatively short-term value, as it does not treat the underlying causes of the disease. Lastly, the mechanisms and methodology of implementation of th
Introduction Climatic change can be defined as any changes in the overall whether system which can be experienced by many regions. An average whether system is said to be composed of average temperatures, precipitation, and wind patterns among other climatic whether changes. So, when all these are affected, you find that they may lead to the drastic increase in temperatures and this is said to have an overall effect to the whole environment. The changes in the climate can be as a result of varying changes in the dynamic processes of the earth, human activities might also lead to the changes in climate and a good example is seen in the global warming and also external forces which may include various variations in the sunlight intensity. (Koeberl, 2002). Climatic changes is one of the controversial areas which many people should be left to know due to the many impacts which are associated with them. A good example for this case is the meteorite (k/T boundary) which is thought to have caused so many climatic changes over the last 65 million years ago. This was as a result of the human activities that is the comets plus other human activities which are thought to have led to the massive extinction of living organisms. Through this paper, am going to lack at the various effects which are thought to be associated with the K/T boundary over the last 65 million years ago. (Koeberl, 2002). The actual K/T boundary can be termed as a layer and it lies between the cretaceous and the tertiary sediments in the sedimentary rock deposits. This layer is said to have two layers which are thought to be similar. The two layers are known as the upper layer, which is called the fireball layer and the lower layer which is called the ejecta layer. The fireball layer is 3mm in thickness and it represents 1500 cubic kilometers of debris which are thought to be deposited daily. The K/T boundary is seen to have a huge impact on the earth in that it has led to so many climatic changes to happen and hence affecting so many living human beings and other living organisms. The impact theory explains that there is a large meteorite impacting the earth even though there is no already known origin for this change. Some people believe that it is an asteroid belt or even a comet which is known for all these climatic changes. The K/T boundary is then seen to have the following effects on the climatic change. (Koeberl, 2002). Extinction of Dinosaurs 65 million years ago What killed the dinosaurs? There is known evidence that the earth has been subjected to so many climatic changes and other numerous impacts and all these impacts are said to be associated with the comets which are made by human beings. The most recent period of the earth in history which cause
