Many people in America are suffering from heart attacks, and it has become necessary to advance technology to treat heart ailments. It is because of the heart alert that a wireless Ecg was devised to measure the heartbeat. An app is installed on the phone, and after measuring the heartbeat, the application sends the gathered information to the phone. The person using the app can afterward send the data to the doctor for evaluation and information about the condition of the heart (Fensli et al. 408). The use of this wireless device helps in measuring the heart rate. The gadget has been devised in such a way that it notifies the users of any looming complications such as heart attacks, and assessing the heartbeat of the user and comparing the measurements with the readings in the Ecg to show any complications in the heart. The device has an inside speaker that emits an alarm once the measurement is complete. By using this gadget, it becomes easy for the users to know the condition of their hearts and be forewarned in case of any danger (Güler and Uğur 232). The wireless Ecg notifies users when the heartbeat is either too slow or too fast. The wireless Ecg is very important as it helps in ensuring that any conditions to the heart are sent to the doctor in due time and thus eradicating emergencies. The device does not interfere with an individual’s daily life, and it can work without the app. The app installed on the phone allows the transmission of the collected information through Bluetooth. The device uses radio waves, and thus, it is less tiring to the user (Sneha and Upkar 35). Though it might be expensive to purchase the device, it is very helpful in the eradication of emergency heart ailments. The gadgets are readily available, and thus the approximated 1.5 million people at risk of heart infections can acquire wireless gadgets (Güler and Uğur 232). Data Collection and Analysis Data for the research will be collected from people over 65 years since they have high chances of suffering from heart ailments such as Cardiac Arrhythmia, enlarged hearts, and congestive heart failure (Orlov et al. 34). Data analysis was conducted by the use of graphs and charts, and according to the statistics gathered from the research, about 1.5 million Americans suffer from heart attacks on a yearly basis, with approximately 610,000 succumbing to heart diseases every year. Of these, 150,000 are below 65 years. The heart alert is important as, according to the gathered statistics, 47% of deaths connected to the heart occur out of medical facilities. Of those respondents included in the research, 27% knew the symptoms associated with heart ailments (Cao et al. 86). The cost of treating emergency heart ailments is very high, with it being approximated to be 60 billion dollars each year. It is important to understand that a normal person has an average of 80 beats per mi
Introduction External factors such as demographic, technological, economic, environmental, and government segments affect the general business environment for Great Lakes Corporation. However, internal factors such as planning, diversification, and competition also play vital roles. Thus, this reflective paper attempts to classify effects of these factors on the business environment of the Great Lakes Chemical Corporation. Besides, the paper reveals the Great Lakes’ ability to survive in a competitive market by reviewing its capabilities. Generally, the above reflection touches on the lead additive industry in United States of America and position of the Great Lakes Chemical Corporation. External Factors Among the external factors that affect business environment at the Great Lakes Chemical Corporation include the demographic, technological, economic, environmental, and government segments. These factors oscillate and simultaneously interact with one another to positively and negatively determine business operation atmosphere (Helfert, 2001). To begin with, the legal aspect determined by government policy is straight on production of lead additives. Through a regulatory agency, the government has imposed stringent laws and bills on production of lead additives for gasoline fuel. Specifically, production and use of lead additive gasoline fuel was banned in 1986 and a law introduced to prohibit further use within the boundaries of America. This has seriously affected the company since the market has been trimmed down to export trade in Africa and Asian continents. Environmental concerns have negatively affected production of lead additives in US. Specifically, research has proven that lead additives in gasoline contribute to ill health through heart complications, respiratory organ damages, and high blood pressure. Thus, “phasing out lead internationally, many experts believed, was necessary to reduce human exposure to lead and prevent lead poisoning… an estimated 15 million to 18 million suffer permanent damage from lead poisoning resulting in lowered intelligence” (Mead, Wicks, & Werhane, 2002, p. 155). Technological improvement has negatively hindered lead production in Great Lakes Cooperation. By 1991, most states in the US had phased out and modified engines which use lead additive gasoline into those that use gasoline without any additive. As a result, production of lead additives was directed to a smaller market of Africa and Asia making the company to completely lose the America market. Finally, demographic population patterns and desire for sustainability has seriousl
The UAE is one of the most influential and prosperous countries in the world. Therefore, it has many competitors in the global arena. The following paper is intended to analyze and compare both Japan and the UAE regarding these states’ national competitiveness, innovations, and cultural factors. The United Arab Emirates Analysis National Competitiveness The UAE occupies the seventeenth place in the Global Competitiveness Index ranking graph. According to the statistical data, the most developed spheres of the state’s economy include infrastructure (the most important pillar), health and primary education, and technological readiness ( World Economic Forum 2016b, para. 1). The UAE also remains the world’s oil production leader. Innovations Unfortunately, the innovation rate of the UAE is not considered to be one the best in the world as it occupies the twenty-fifth place among other countries. However, the index of the UAE in the given pillar has been increasing for an extended period. Therefore, the state has an opportunity to be included in the top list of seven countries. Cultural Factors It is a well-known fact that Islamic nations have their specific culture that remains one of the most popular in the world. Even in the age of globalization, the UAE inhabitants follow their ethnic traditions. In turn, the representatives of other nations respect the local population’s beliefs and customs. Japan Analysis National Competitiveness Japan occupies the ninth place in the global competitiveness rating. The most developed spheres of this country include infrastructure, health and primary education (the most important pillar that influences this economy), and market size ( World Economic Forum 2016a, para. 1). The eastern country is considered to be the most futuristic and technological Commonwealth on the planet. Innovation Japan occupies the eighth position in the global list of innovations. The country is known for its industry of high-technologies export products. Unfortunately, this state lacks only one stage to be on the top list of the world’s leaders. Cultural Factors Japanese culture is popular and hence, is intensively studied by many other nationalities. Various martial arts of the local origin are widespread around the developed countries. This Commonwealth’s traditions and commons are respected in European territories as well. Recommendations to the UAE A sound recommendation to the United Arab Emirates government would be to focus on various industries of the country’s economic system. The state obtained financial independence because of oil production and export. However, the value of the given resource is claimed to drop down significantly within the next fifty years. To remain a successful and developed Commonwealth, it is essential for the local politicians to invest national finances in other industries and spheres. For instance, education, tourism, car manufacturing, and other facilities that are intended to increase the UAE’s popularity in the future. To remain competitive with the world leading countries, the United Arab Emirates government has to contribute to the wo
The contemporary healthcare industry relies heavily on data and related processing technologies. The practice is driven by research data, and studies depend on the availability and accuracy of health-related information (Honey et al., 2017). The article by Marc et al. (2019) explores what skills are expected to be mandatory in healthcare informatics. According to the researchers, the majority of jobs fall into three categories – project management, health leadership, and information technology in healthcare (Marc et al., 2019). Among the core skills which are required to be able to apply for these jobs are data analytics, auditing, and information governance (Marc et al., 2019). As a future health informatics professional, the student needs to focus on these digital skills to stay competitive and meet the demands of the market. Adequate training is necessary, which means Health Informatics and Information Management education providers need to update their curriculum continuously to stay relevant. Barriers to EHR Employment Electronic health records (EHRs) are at the core of health informatics. EHRs foster the collaboration between various health institutions and improve the communication between patients and providers. They are used ubiquitously today, but there may be specific barriers to working as a nursing informaticist or an EHR specialist successfully. The article by Anderson et al. (2020) discusses the challenges and opportunities in the current nursing informatics workforce. There has been an increase in the number of professionals with a master’s degree in nursing or nursing informatics (Anderson et al., 2020). Despite this growth, challenges continue to persist in the workplace (Anderson et al., 2020). While previous barriers to EHR employment were a lack of financial resources or a lack of adequate support, the latest survey identified information technology priorities and organizational structure as the top hindrance (Anderson et al., 2020). In contemporary settings, health providers often have to establish preferences between competing information systems, which means that nursing informatics specialists need to continuously grow their professional capacities in order to respond to these changes.
Introduction The human body can be defined as the physical structure of the human organisms. The human body is said to be composed of various components that include the following, two arms, one head, torso, neck and two legs. It is through these physical body components that make us to function. The human body is said to undergo various strategies before it can be fully formed, For example people are made who they are by genes. It is these genes which are said to make us different from each other in the many societies we come from. So before one becomes completely an adult, this body consists of close to 100 trillion cells and all these different functions are said to perform different roles. The body is also made of many organs which are also said to perform various functions. A good example is the respiratory system and the digestive system. For example the respiratory system is one of the body organs with a specialized function in our bodies. Biologists argue that respiratory system helps in supplying our bodies with blood. This blood is said to carry oxygen which is needed most in our bodies. The respiratory system does this with the help of the breathing system. When people breathe, we inhale oxygen and carbon dioxide whereby oxygen is taken in the blood while carbon dioxide is breathed out as a waste. So in this case, if the bodies are affected, it means that then the whole body will also be affected. (Bogdan, 2000). Our bodies are said to be quite unique due to the different roles which are played by our bodies. So, when our bodies are infected by a disease, then it means that our bodies will not be in a position to function well as it is supposed to function. Illnesses are said to make us understand more about our bodies. Our bodies are composed of various immune systems which are supposed to play a vital role in our bodies. This system is quite responsible for fighting off bacteria’s in our bodies and various body infections. It is the role of the immune system which helps in protecting our bodies from the various bacteria’s, viruses plus other harmful organisms that cause diseases in our bodies. It is during this time that we are in a position to reflect back on our bodies and the various functions which our bodies function. For example, when the body system immune system is not working you find that our
Introduction The paper chosen for the sake of this analysis is “Power to the People: Evidence from a Randomized Field Experiment on Community-Based Monitoring in Uganda” by Björkman and Svensson published in The Quarterly Journal of Economic Journal. The authors of the paper intend to reduce the child mortality rate in the region of Sub-Sahara by using Uganda for the field experiment. The paper uses the method of randomization to test one intervention against the other. The results from the field experiment by the authors have been clearly stated in the paper. The success criteria and the rate of success have also been highlighted. Primary Research Question The key question that the paper addresses is whether the accountability and strong monitoring system by the citizens improve the health sector’s ability to deliver its services. The major focus of the paper is the accountability relationships in the context of citizen clients’ ability to pass responsibility to service providers, by using basic health care delivery in rural areas of Uganda as the testing ground (Björkman and Svensson 736). The authors have undertaken this study to improve the delivery of health services in Uganda because the statistical study reveals that 11 million children under the age of five die in Sub-Saharan Africa because of diseases like malaria and measles (Björkman and Svensson 756). The study aims to check whether community-based monitoring helps improve this situation for the children. The key-terms defined in the context of this study are accountability and community. As per the author’s accountability here is held synonymous with the involvement of the public in the health affairs of the region. Moreover, the community is an area that has a radius of five kilometers around any facility. In the context of this study, the authors have taken community as a body with 2500 homes and within a 5-km radius from the clinic. Experimental Design A community-based randomized controlled field design has been used to conduct this study. The experiment involves a total of fifty public dispensaries, as well as the health-care users from the nine districts of Uganda; the studied project facilities are all located in the rural areas (Björkman and Svensson 740). For the experimental design of this study, the facilities are initially divided into groups by location and further on by the size of the population (Björkman and Svensson 740). Out of the fifty dispensaries, 25 units are randomly assigned as the treatment group and the rest is taken as the control group (Björkman and Svensson 740). The research is divided into two parts: the pre-intervention and the post-intervention. The pre-intervention part of the study includes surveys to collect data on the quality of services and the type of health facilities available in Uganda. For the post-intervention phase, the chosen tre
Introduction One of the most critically acclaimed and also commercially successful collections of short stories in recent times are Jhumpa Lahiri’s Interpreter of Maladies . Published in 1999, the book went on to win both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the PEN award in the year 2000. Other reorganizations for the book include “ the Best Debut of the Year ” (Argiropoulos and Rajagopal 612-614) from The New Yorker. There are a total of 12 short stories in the book. The stories, The Third and Final Continent and Mrs. Sen’s , are different in context but very similar in theme. The issue of separation plays as a common theme between the two stories. Discussion Both stories have one lingering theme, and that is separation. Separation comes in different forms and shapes in The Third and Final Continent . The narrator in this case has seen different types of separations, separation from his parents, separation from his motherland, temporary separation from his newly married wife, and other aspects. All these separations have a profound effect on the mind of the narrator. The presence of Mrs. Croft had reminded him of his family in Kolkata and his parents who are dead: I was mortified. I had assumed Mrs. Croft was in her eighties, perhaps as old as ninety. I had never known a person who had lived for over a century. That this person was a widow who lived alone mortified me further still. Widowhood had driven my mother insane. My father, who worked as a clerk at the General Post Office of Calcutta, died of encephalitis when I was sixteen. My mother refused to adjust to life without him; instead, she sank deeper into a world of darkness from which neither I, nor my brother, nor concerned relatives, nor psychiatric clinics on Rash Behari Avenue could save her (Lahiri 187). These were the small effects of separation that eventually lead his life to harmony. Finally, he was able to take his wife to the USA and lead a life of peace. But the profound effect of Mrs. Croft was the ultimate dose that helped him to overcome his separations. He also understood the degree of separation that his wife will face, and so he also become responsible to his wife when he understood the real aspects of separation: I realized that morning would soon be my concern. It was my duty to take care of Mala, to welcome her and protect her. I would have to buy her her first pair of snow boots, her first winter coat. I would have to tell her which streets to avoid, which way the traffic came, tell her to wear her sari so that the free end did not drag on the footpath. A five-mile separation from her parents, I recalled with some irritation, had caused her to weep (Lahiri 190). Mrs. Sen’s is also another study in separation. Here the lead two characters are one woman, who is marri
Hollywood, as America’s premier film industry, has shaped the thoughts, beliefs, material culture trends, fashion, and even language of many Americans. The influence and impact of films in the American social life is undeniable and almost tangible. There are both positive and negative consequences of the influence of films on the American socio-cultural trends, beliefs, and lifestyles. Hollywood, as the ultimate producer of male ‘macho’ films, has entrenched a culture of relegating women to secondary passive roles in these films, a view that then becomes acceptable in the American society. Males are often portrayed as all-knowing and all-powerful protagonists, with females in these films simply being used as secondary love and sexual tools of the macho male character. In the film “Jarhead”, the males are expected to portray their manhood in the face of real fear, to act brave and courageous, to adopt a sexually condescending attitude towards their women, and to conquer/overcome all their enemies through any means necessary as soldiers. Given that, men in many American films play the lead role, their attitude and actions towards women in the films provide a hint concerning the status of the women – in their lives both in and out of the films and in the larger American society (Psako, Mayeda and Ramos 88). In Jarhead, manhood is juxtaposed with the portrayal of women as cheap sexual objects. Antony Swofford, the lead character in “Jarhead”, is constantly consumed by the fear that the girlfriend whom he leaves back as he joins the Gulf War as a marine will cheat on him (Simpson 304). Manhood is thus portrayed as being able to rein in one’s girlfriend or even wife. Women, on the other hand, as opposed to men who are willing and brave to sacrifice their lives and time for the sake of country – a powerful act for a man and thus an enhancement of the manhood experience – are portrayed as passive citizens more interested in acquiring as many different boyfriends as possible. For instance, Dettman’s girlfriend sends him a homemade sex tape depicting her in an affair with another man, supposedly to get back at him for an unidentified transgression on his part. Swofford’s girlfriend, true to the negative depiction of women in the film in order to heighten the manhood experience, cheats on him, a fact he discovers when he gets back home from the war. The manhood status is also enhanced through the treatment of sex in the most casual and simplistic ways. The male characters in “Jarhead”, during a football match in the hot Arabian Desert sun, mimic sexual acts much to the disappointment of the viewing press and the commander in charge. The macho male is thus depicted as being one who freely expresses his sexuality, a common thread in many Hollywood films. Secondly, manhood in the film “Jarhead” is depic
