Potential Users Most recent statistical studies carried out by National Survey and Drug Abuse and Health show that over 100million of persons over 12years old and older (41%) have tried marijuana once or more in their lifetimes. A typology of different Marijuana users exists it includes; experimenters, occasional users, regular users, and frequent users. The experimenter’s category consists mainly of a majority of youths who are yet to try the drug and are still curious about its desired effects. Through peer pressure or just sheer curiosity, they end up trying out Marijuana. In this category, adults are very few. The occasional users consist of users who are past the experimental stage, they have used the drug before, and they continue to use but only on specific occasions i.e., for example, in the company of certain friends, parties just for recreational purposes. A majority of the people in this typology are still youths with quite a several adults. It is because youths typically get involved more in social activities than adults, for example, they attend or hold parties frequently. The regular users consist of users who use Marijuana often than occasional users, but they are not dependent on it. This typology consists of more adults than youths. These users consume Marijuana for recreational purposes, but mostly in their free time, however, it’s good to note that their daily activities and social activities are not affected since they are not dependent on the drug and can live without it. The frequent users consist of youths and adults who have abused Marijuana to the extent they have become dependent on it. These users cannot function without the use of Marijuana, and thus it affects their daily activities, for example, jobs and social life. Moreover, medical users whom majorities are adults are in this category since although they are indirectly dependent on Marijuana due to their ailments, they are dependent none the less. Considering all the topologies, youths are the most likely group to consume Marijuana since they frequent all the consumption topologies aforementioned more than the children and adults age groups. Desired Effects Marijuana causes both psychological and physical effects on the human body. Although the effects of marijuana can differ among different users, the cause of the effects remains constant; due to the Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) contained in marijuana. Desired effects by consumers may include; a feeling of well being (euphoria), a feeling of being relaxed, an altered conscious perception, reduced stress leading to an elevated mood, increased appreciation of humor leading to inappropriate laughter, a heightened appreciation of art, met-cognition, and introspection, episodic memories where the user remembers past eve
Nowadays, there exists a great variety of medications aimed at treating a particular health issue. Due to their number, some of them have quite similar names that can potentially confuse both the patient and pharmacist (Levinthal, 2014). Sometimes, these drugs can be mistaken due to their common active substance, so they do not do serious harm to the human body. Frequently, however, medication titles can have a direct commercial purpose, as they are created in order to be easily memorized. Such cases can lead to severe health issues and medical errors. According to the statistics published in 2016, the medical mistake was a third leading death cause in the US (Makary & Daniel, 2016). Although misspelled medications constitute a minor part of medical errors, they are still hazardous to people’s health. In order to define ways to combat the issue, it is important to dwell upon the reasons these errors occur in the first place. According to data, some of the major problems behind medication prescription are legibility and spoken orders (Norman, 2018). The first matter is highly individual as it concerns doctor’s handwriting that can easily be misread by a pharmacist. The second issue, on the contrary, is an example of medical negligence, as patients are not supposed to know the detailed information on various drugs, and thus, they get confused. As this issue concerns not only medication names but diagnosis and patients’ personal information as well, the healthcare system issue should be completely reconsidered. The best option in terms of records optimization is by creating a working electronic database. By doing so, pharmacists could have electronic access to a patient’s prescription and the probability of medical error would be as minimal as possible.

Many organizations conduct research works to determine whether their business needs any improvement. Usually, this measure is taken to calculate the efficiency of current processes and the ability to reach certain goals. For instance, a company must be very specific and ask questions only about those fields that are relevant to it (O’Leary & Hunt, 2016, 50). This paper analyses the article that discusses what elements does the quality research has when used for organizational development. Summary The article by Coghlan and Shani (2014) discusses three crucial elements that help to make the research process effective. It claims the process must be rigorous, reflective, and relevant. The first feature stresses the importance of data collected during the study. The second one discusses whether the data is linked to previous or contemporary research that can be found in literature and case studies. Finally, the relevancy element determines whether the collected data addresses the goals set by an organization. All three elements are applied to several steps of the research process. They include the purpose of research, the context, methodology, and method of inquiry, design, narrative and outcomes, reflection on the story, and discussion. The authors of the article offer a table that matches rigor, reflectiveness, and relevance with these features. Each combination is supported by questions that have to be addressed at each point of research. The discussion finalizing the article states that there are four primary factors for evaluating action research. These are the importance of context understanding, the quality of collaboration between researchers and employees, the quality of the process itself, and the development of collaboration from learning by practice. Contemporary Thinking The article corresponds well with the contemporary perception of the topic. For instance, studies suggest that context is one of the most important factors for conducting quality research (Eriksson & Kovalainen, 2016, p. 99). A person who is responsible for evaluating various elements of a process must be skilled in collecting the right data. It takes a deep understanding of the culture in which he or she is trying to function. An article by Coghlan and Shani (2014) features several questions that are important while acting in a context. They call for determining whether the contextual data is collected in a way that corresponds with quality standards and whether it is supported by the previous research. It may sometimes take a long time for researchers to collect the necessary information. The important part is to have a systematic approach to every detail noticed and recorded during weeks or even months. Research Importance The article illustrates the importance of using analytics for decision-making within organizations. It makes it understandable that effective stud
Executive Summary The market is incredibly attractive because of access to necessary resources. Franchising is a selected mode of entry in this case. A line of chocolate bars is proposed. Significant product-line adaptations will not be needed, and this aspect will be controlled by Cadbury. A use of TV commercials and social media are suggested as primary tools of promotion. Introduction The primary goal of this report is to provide all the necessary information regarding a business proposal on the territory of Tanzania. The country has been developing at rapid rates and the demand for quality products is incredibly high. Moreover, companies have access to enormous amounts of resources that are not fully utilized. The chocolate industry is especially fascinating because the number of firms that operate in this sector is relatively small. Finke (2010) suggests that the problem is that most cocoa beans are transported overseas, and the industry is dominated by Westerners. Meissner (2012) thinks that it should be viewed as an outstanding opportunity to open up a business in Tanzania, and it would be beneficial to a company that has enormous experience in this area. Cadbury has access to all the necessary tools and instruments that can be used to ensure that the process is successful, and business is profitable. Furthermore, it is important to analyze the situation in the country to get a better understanding of its unique aspects and how they may be utilized to improve the efficiency of operations. One of the most significant advantages that Cadbury has is its production techniques, and the company is likely to adapt. Bienen (2015) believes that many enterprises are too worried about such aspects as the climate, and they think that it may complicate the process of production. Furthermore, this indicates that it would be necessary to build a set of facilities with this aspect taken into consideration. The number of freezers even in the most developed cities is limited, and it would be beneficial to establish long-term relationships with supermarkets and shops in this region and provide them with a broad range of benefits. Lofchie (2014) argues that another issue that should not be overlooked is that an enormous percentage of the population prefers products that were produced by natives. Moreover, it would be wise to conduct a marketing program that would be focused on benefits of this product and explain why this brand can be trusted. It is paramount to understand that consideration of cultural aspects is vital in this case. The problem is that an enormous percentage of the population does not have access to information and are primarily focused on agriculture. Also, many individuals do not like innovations and prefer traditional approaches. However, there have been many businesses that were successful over the years. The role of social responsibility also has been increasing, and it should b
According to Meléndez (2015), one of the most effective strategies for increasing a child’s interest in social studies is using children’s books in the learning process. A book is an object of reality for a preschool child, which has significant educational potential and broad communication capabilities. Moreover, in the context of the widespread use of electronic means of storing and disseminating information, which sometimes negatively affects the child, the children’s book acquires a significant educational value. An equally successful strategy for increasing a child’s interest in social studies is to create opportunities for children to learn and act from different roles in the community. Epstein (2014) claims that role-playing game is a great strategy. In this case, through various materials, including clothes, tools, or other items, you can develop a wide variety of stories that will help the child learn a variety of social roles. Thus, both strategies can be implemented in the learning process when studying various topics: from the world around them to professions and household chores.
Human life has always been one of the fundamental assets of world perception through the prism of art and creativeness. However, when it comes to depicting humans, creators cannot omit all the flaws human nature is replete with, trying to find ways to fix them. Thus, while the presence of hybrid bodies in literature and cinematography claims to be evil for many people, the very motives of the creator remain mysterious even for the creator himself. For instance, when the Inventor of Edward Scissorhands was not the create a beast that would struggle in the human world. To begin with, he saw the opportunity to humanize everything he loved in his life, as Edward represented the human version of the assembly line that was more than just living to the Inventor (Burton). As a result, he wanted to create a vision of the world where people were a little closer to his deepest hopes. Still, the outcome of his experiment resulted in the creation of a beast that finds himself lost in a society that does not accept someone who is not fitting in with the established norms. Such an example contributes to the assumption that while everyone is afraid of beasts, it is the hybrid body itself who is terrified by humans and their social norms. Thus, the very genesis of a hybrid body is a story that eventually leads to its death and desperation. The death itself is not always physical, it is the mental process of rejection or accommodation to the surrounding world, as the beast’s metamorphosis and integration into the human life paradigm is also a certain form of death for the hybrid body. At first, it may seem that the creator intends to make the beast as close to the human race as possible, giving the body features of a fellow human while making it stronger and better than any other being. For example, in The Island of Dr. Mureau , it was the Doctor’s biggest desire to create a beast that would be fully human, living according to the moral laws of people on Earth (Frankenheimer). However, at heart, all of the inventors were hoping that their creations would be the best versions of human beings while remaining beasts inside. As a result, the hybrid bodies created are implicitly programmed to be destroyed under the influence of society regardless of their initial intentions. Trying to fit in society makes beasts willing to adjust to the environment they live in to remain some of the most powerful creatures of the human race. As a result, the adjustment itself makes it hard for the beasts to draw a line between their authenticity and the reality of life among people, leaving them with nothing but the urge to blend in. However, sometimes, the desire to become human is so strong that the attempt’s outcome makes the beast itself go far beyond the conventional perception of human life. For example, when the hybrid bodies in the first two stories were not able to reach the desired level and empathy and compassion in order not to feel lonely in society, some hybrid bodies are given such strong cognitive abilities that their levels of empathy become too advanced to be human. Over the last years, the vision of a hybrid body has developed far beyond comb
Introduction to the APN Professional Development Plan Advanced practice nurse (APN) is a position characterized by one’s independence, leadership skills, and professionalism. Nurse practitioners in Florida are certified to perform a variety of activities, including patients’ assessment, treatment, and drug prescription. To apply for a job in the field of AP nursing, one has to evaluate the regulations and guidelines of the state, in which the APN is planning to work. Furthermore, one should assess his or her qualities and skills to establish the level of experience and readiness for the job. Finally, it is vital for students and recently graduated nurses to learn various networking strategies and marketing techniques which can help find a suitable job and impress the employer before, during, and after the interview. This paper analyzes the scope of practice for the APN in the state of Florida, provides a personal assessment of the author based on the Benner’s Self-Assessment Tool, includes an example of a possible Curriculum Vitae (CV), and discusses some networking and marketing techniques for successful employment. APN Scope of Practice Florida’s regulations allow APNs to perform a broad range of activities. Sastre‐Fullana, Pedro‐Gómez, Bennasar‐Veny, Serrano‐Gallardo, and Morales‐Asencio (2014) note that the level of autonomy of APNs has greatly increased over the years. However, some practices remain unavailable or limited for nurses in Florida. According to the Florida Board of Nursing (2018), nurses can receive an APN certificate if they already have a registered nurse (RN) license recognized in the state of Florida. Moreover, all persons must have a master’s degree in a specialty area relevant to their practice. If a nurse is adequately qualified and fulfills all requirements, he or she can become an APN. The scope of practice for APNs is outlined in the Nurse Practice Act of the state. According to it, APN’s main activities may include drug prescription of any kind (Florida Board of Nursing, 2018). Moreover, APNs can administer and dispense drugs and controlled substances, if they possess necessary training related to the area of expertise. APNs can also choose and start specific therapies for patients and order medication. Medical diagnosis with further treatment is also an activity that is available to an APN. However, it is vital to remember that all procedures of an APN should be recorded in a special supervisory protocol, which should be available to the department upon request. APNs also have different specialties which further expand their scope of practice. For example, certified registered nurse anesthetists may perform anesthetic services and order various diagnostic procedures and preanesthetic medication, participate in preanesthesia care, and treat them during postanesthesia recovery
The concept of metadata has gained popularity. Creation of videos and photography make use of metadata. It is also used in web pages and in a library to archive information. The metadata must always meet worldwide standards. Metadata is well structured using established schemes like models and standards of metadata. It has three categories. They include descriptive, structural, and administrative type of metadata. Metadata mean different things. Some say it is a device that understands information while others use it as a record. Main uses include data recovery, framework of electronic resources and digital documents. Metadata is also used in the extraction and maintenance of information. 99% of the information is digitally created while only 0.1% is written on the paper. About seventy percent of the created data is never printed and, only 20% may be printed. This has seen metadata gaining popularity. The term metadata simply refers to any amount of information providing in depth information on one material or other multiple. It provides insight on the ways of creating data, the reasons for the data and the date of creation. It also captures the data author, where on network the data is and standards which were used. The concept of metadata applies to electronically stored data and its use. It describes the structure, meaning and how the files are administered. Its main rationale is to make it effortless to repossess, handle or use as a resource. The web page usually displays metadata in Meta tags form (NICO, 2004). Metadata can be related to some discussions I experienced. The discussion was about state of art in Sub-Saharan Africa. Internet acted as a major source of information to the discussion. The United Nations website and other principal sources provided detailed information on the topic. Several sites gave insight to every situation under discussion. There were linkages to other websites with detailed information, which made the discussion easier than books. The sites spelled out clearly the dates of publications and places of publications. Some websites required authentication. An article was written after the discussion. It came out with information art in Sub-Saharan Africa to back up other previous findings. The report contained the list of participants. It spelled out the place of discussion and soft copies given to the relevant authorities. A copy will be posted on the Internet. A good example of metadata is an image. It may comprise of metadata which specifies its size. The size may include side dimensions and units of measurements. The color aspect may also be depicted. This may entail contrast, colors used and the extent of the colors. Metadata specifies the resolution of the image. The date of creation and who created the image are also shown in the metadata. Related information like the links to the image and where it is found in the metadata. Electronic discovery is cheaper than the discovery of paper-based information. Large corporations and societies and states have an easy time going through the information. This has increased overall production. The Collection, storage and eval
Policy making is, perhaps, the most difficult function of the government. This is mainly due to the risks that are taken during the formulation of policies and the standardization which characterizes the process. The government reduces the challenges of policy making by using budgeting techniques in order to ensure that the policies formulated and implemented achieve the results they are intended to achieve (Sade, 2008, p. 1). This also ensures minimal problems as plans are implemented. This paper discusses the importance of budgeting in the making of policies. Whenever a policy involving the expenditure of federal government and state funds is laid out, the policy must have a detailed analysis of the methods that are to be used in its implementation and a detailed budget. This requirement necessitates the involvement of the congress and voters in the policy making process (Sade, 2008, p. 1). Therefore, congress approval has to be sought by the government whenever it makes policies. Additionally, before any policy is implemented or cancelled, specific rules and regulations that are set have to be met. The above discussion is an indication of the great importance of budgeting in policy making. The reasons for the discussed importance are numerous. First, in order to successfully implement policies, a precise budget must be prepared. The budget ensures that the project suggested by the policy does not run out of funds before its completion and it also ensures that the project does not have surplus funds which could be misused (O’Regan, 2010, p. 1). Therefore, precise budget is desirable in this case to ensure that state and federal resources are maximally utilized in their intended projects. Another reason for the importance of budgeting in policy making is that almost all policies affect each other financially. Thus if the government funds the various states to implement a certain policy, the money has to have a source, which could make them abandon other important projects. Thus the aforementioned projects could either be halted or forgone. For instance, the “No Child Left Behind Plan” (Sade, 2008, p. 1) was imposed by the government on the states without government funding. Schools had to find a way to fund this project. The results of such projects may turn out to be disastrous, especially if the party expected to find funds for the project has limited means. In the afo
