Clinical Support Services All clinical support services (CSSs) require different systems of classification that have goals for improvement, progress benchmarks, rewards, and opportunities for improvement (OFI) (White & Griffith, 2016). They have to be meticulously devised to fit each specific CSS. In order to keep all of them up-to-date health care organization (HCO) has to provide regular capital flow to promote continuous improvement. It is needed for increasing the quality of existing facilities as well as their size, providing modern medical equipment, and developing additional programs. Therefore, it can be argued that CSSs are associated with the highest capital expenditures (White & Griffith, 2016). The network of accountability that keeps track of negotiation and integration processes is an important part of every HCO (White & Griffith, 2016). Accountability hierarchy is a structure that provides a mechanism for communication between different work teams and the governing board. It also performs the function of investment opportunities assessment (White & Griffith, 2016). Efficient HCOs have planning committees that are responsible for the evaluation of “competitive tests for investment opportunities” and function similarly to a process improvement team (PIT) (White & Griffith, 2016). The finance department is in charge of capital funds, and it also plays a central role in the evaluation of individual capital investment opportunities. The mechanism of capital investment review allows meeting mission objectives, and it is especially critical for HCOs with limited capital funds (White & Griffith, 2016). The efficient review process takes into consideration the following criteria for the assessment of investment prospects: anticipated contribution to stated objectives, physical limitations, minimization of costs, implementation process, actual contribution to stated objectives (White & Griffith, 2016). Capital Investment The CSS managers are in charge of replacing outdated equipment, introducing serious changes to programs, and controlling the annual budget. To this end, they have to evaluate investments that would contribute the most to the missions of the

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological condition that develops predominantly in people over 65 years old. According to the Alzheimer’s Association (2011), this condition is the sixth leading cause of lethal outcomes in the United States (p. 208). Alzheimer’s is also the main cause of dementia, which leads to cognitive problems, including memory loss and difficulties with day-to-day activities. Nature and Causes Named after the doctor Alois Alzheimer, Alzheimer’s disease is a condition that affects brain function. It is the most widespread cause of dementia. However, the disease may start developing unnoticed, and the symptoms might become visible at an advanced stage, i.e. difficulties with memory, reasoning abilities, and overall cognitive function. Alzheimer’s might even affect certain personality traits, as well as modify the behavioral patterns. Certain patients might experience troubles with routine tasks, as this condition may exert a negative influence on their habitual skills. The quality of life of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease is gravely affected. The causes of the condition are of a complex nature. It was established that an array of factors might lead to Alzheimer’s disease. A combination of environmental, congenital, and lifestyle factors might contribute to the condition. According to the Mayo Clinic Staff (n.d.), nearly five percent of Alzheimer’s patients underwent certain genetic mutations that led to them developing the disease (par. 13). Although the causes of the condition are not fully established, researchers identify several risk factors. These factors include age over 60, family history, Down syndrome, head trauma, and lifestyle choices. The latter include risk factors that are usually determined as contributing to the development of a heart condition, such as high blood pressure, high level of cholesterol, unbalanced diet, obesity, and a passive lifestyle lacking in exercise. Signs and Symptoms The most frequent symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include problems with memory, reasoning, thinking processes, perception, and communication. At an early stage, the disease may manifest through memory lapses (Alzheimer’s Society, n.d., par. 6). A patient can experience difficulties recalling recent events or processing recently received information. These problems occur due to the damaged hippocampus that regulates the daily mem
Introduction This assignment is a discussion on the topic of Chinese dynasties. The focus of the paper is examining the institutional developments after the Ming dynasty’s fall, with a view of illustrating the changes in the power division, distribution, structure, and dynamics in the Qing dynasty era through a comparative approach with the Ming Dynasty. Discussion The Ming dynasty was an absolute Chinese monarch that ruled the country for an uninterrupted period of 276 years. It is arguably one of the most influential and orderly governments that China has ever had. It came into office following the fall of the Yuan dynasty, which had ruled from 1271 to 1368 and ruled from 1368 to 1644 with several emperors such as Hongwu, Yongle, and Wanli (Travel china guide, 2013). It came into power after overpowering its predecessor, the Yuan dynasty, which had weakened following divisions in its leadership. The Yuan dynasty had also faced an almost collapsing infrastructure, which had risen the levels of discontentment among the people. Some of the key figures who noted the crumbling of the Yuan dynasty were Zhu Yuanzhand and the leader of the Han, the Chinese largest ethnic group Chen Younliang. The two leaders quickly turned into rebels of the Yuan dynasty. In 1363, a battle known as the ‘battle of Lake Poyang’ was staged up (Encyclopadia Britanica, 2013). The battle involved the two rebel factions, one led by Zhu and the other led by Chen in which the former managed to eliminate the latter. After the defeat of the Han faction led by Chen, Zhu gained control of the south and the area around the Yangtze River valley. In 1367, the then leader of the Yuan dynasty Red Turbans died, leaving a vacuum in leadership. Zhu seized the opportunity to declare the Ming dynasty as being in power after destroying Yuan palaces and cities, especially in Dadu. After taking power, Zhu Yuanzhang became the first Ming emperor under the name of Hongwu (Department of Asian art, 2013). Institutional structure and division The Ming dynasty ruled through the provincial administration, just like its predecessor, the dynasty. The administrative structure comprised of 13 provinces which were led by a secretariat. The Ming also had three commissioners in charge of civil, surveillance, and military departments. At the lowest level of the provincial administration were counties which were headed by magistrates (Oracle Think Quest, 2013). Ideology The Ming dynasty under the leadership of Wang was characterized by a mixture of ideology and was thus heterodoxy in nature. Ideally, the Ming dynasty subscribed to the Confucian ideology, but the Wang emperor also embraced the Buddhist ideology and, to some extent, Taoism (Asian art collection, 2013). Confucianism is a philosophically derived ideology that outlines the moral and ethical principles which govern the relationship of people in a society. The philosophy has its roots in the works of Chinese philosopher Confucius who founded it in 551 BC. Confucianism does the project of moral self-cultivation central to human living and offers a distin
Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) means the modern wide variety of computer applications that have notable machine learning capabilities hence depicting that of human intelligence. The stock market refers to trading platforms where buying and selling of shares can be undertaken by investors. By use of AI, there is a possibility to monitor the trading patterns and predict how markets can be shaped in the future. Many companies such as Kavout and Epoque have embraced the use of AI in their stock trading paraphernalia. Through artificial intelligence, companies have been advantaged to improve their returns on investment. There is a possibility that in the future, AI will empower stock markers further. For instance, due to the current rise of globalization, AI will take all the advanced patterns of cloud computing to give a better analysis of stock management models, investment processes, and fast data speed when it comes to buying and selling of shares. Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a wide-range category in computing that is effective in developing smart machines that can undertake tasks that may be human intelligence oriented (Patel et al., 2021). AI enables machines to think humanly, rationally, and act humanly and rationally too. Stock markets refer to where people and institutional investment firms come together to transact in shares in a given public venue. Today, buying and selling of shares exist as electronic marketplace places. Thus, it is important to report on how AI is responsible for enabling machines and equipment used in stock market paraphernalia. AI uses modern microservices architecture and can be subject to cloud software. This paper presents a report on how AI affects stock markets. Artificial Intelligence Effects on Stock Market AI can be termed as one of the key components that will shape the future of stock trading. For instance, the use of robotic instruments to analyze a wide variety of data points and implement fine trades is evident as a result of AI (Sushma & Tarun, 2020). Therefore, the optimal price, the analysis predicts markets that have significant accuracy in stock mathematics. Similarly, by the use of AI-centric machines in stock trading, trading companies prevent the risk of giving higher returns. Many companies have embraced AI in trade execution by 27% and decision making, a
Coaches are those people who make great pains for the purpose of success achievement by those whom they train. This is why nurturing team spirit within a team is one of the main goals which a couch follows in his sport program. Team is understood by a coach as an integral part of life. In this respect Weinberg & Gould (2007) point out the excluding significance of the team for promotion of two main prospects, such as competition and collaboration. This idea is supported throughout major psychologists in terms of effectiveness of such approach to the idea of coaching. Team-building is a process which needs constant cooperation of all members including it. Social support according to Gill & Williams (2008) social support is made out to be similar to the closest surroundings of an individual which also presupposes a concept of acceptance and belonging to some group of people. In this case social support should be reckoned with the team-building in sport activities. Moreover, it should be an important constituent of a team’s image. It is not surprising that wholeness of a team is a great power which can make the competitors fear or even nervous. Psychology of such approach in sport is defined due the idea of prevalence of such states of mentality in a person. Moreover, professional coaches do not ignore this approach and even make it develop in each member of a team and in a team on the whole. It is vital for team to have a mere cohesion, so that to improve the expectations of those who are willing to see a real competition and victory of their team. Members of a team are considered to share the space when providing tournaments or when being in one room or somewhere in training camp (proximity). Also players try to make themselves united in ideas by means of some distinctive features (distinctiveness). It concerns the changes in appearance being similar in each player. Such steps are undoubtedly help to direct players on positive results and on such victories which can shift any expectation. Unity and right attitude with correct motivation are those factors which are predominant for coaches, in order to make their teams succeed. Seven types of social support are those parameters which intend a team to develop their self esteem and inner motivation. Listening, Emotional, and Emotional Challenge support are those movers of the team which determine the psychological approach on the initial stage of team’s success. This tool is necessary for making team able to receive information and intentions from their surroundings and a coach, particularly, in time. Reality Confirmation, Task –Appreciation, and Task-Challenge support are those psychological mechanisms highlighting a deserved a
Definition of business operations planning Business operations planning refers to a process that is aimed at helping organizations to provide better customer services, short lead times, stability in the production rates and also ideal teamwork between the various departments of the organization i.e. productio9n,financer,sales,operations and human resource. Most companies nowadays apply the Sales & Operations tool commonly referred to ad S &OP so as to enhance their performance. An operational plan is part of the larger strategic plan that is concerned with establishing the capacity needs of an organization. Operational planning thus focuses on how the managerial actions will be achieved. The operational plans are usually short term in nature, specific to operational activity, routine, resource driven and are also predictable. The business operational plans are usually conducted by the company’s line managers (Columbus, 1999, 96-99). Contents of a business operations planning The following are the contents of a business operations plan; human and capacity requirements, financial requirements, mitigation strategy and risk assessment, exit strategy and estimation of the lifespan of a project. Human resource management is key to business operations planning and thus Human requirements is the primary step in an operational planning.Usually,all the human resources determines the organizational ability to meet the operational plan goals. Other capacity requirements include the legal systems and other stakeholders that are necessary for successful completion of a project. The team leaders usually determines as to whether or not they have the right people with technical and communication skills so as to successfully execute operational plans. If there people are not enough, the management thus determines how to get them by considering such aspects as the recruitment costs e.t.c.Also, and the management considers the amount of extra work that is required in all the departments such as the Information and technology, Human resources e.t.c. so as to determine the hiring needs of new staff. Financial requirements are concerned with identifying the sources of funds for the project in order to successfully implement the project. The operational plans are usually expressed in financial terms by use of cash flow statements and cash budgets. The estimation of a project’s lifespan, its sustainability and the exit strategies is concerned with establishing the natural life of a project and also determining the exit strategies that are available. The mitigation and risk assessment is concerned with identifying the possible risks that can hinder the successful completion of a project and thus devising measures to mitigate these risks. Projects usually does not have control over the risk and so, it is important to conduct a comprehensive assessment of risks so as to identify them in a
Abstract The objective of this project was to discuss fan behaviors towards sports officials at middle school level. In order to achieve this objective, qualitative research method was used to collect and to analyze data from different secondary sources. The results of the data analysis and literature review indicate that incidences of misbehavior among middle school students during sports events are on the rise. In particular, most students tend to show disrespect to sports officials by harassing them verbally and physically. The main factors that influence students’ behavior during sports events include frustration, high expectation, crowd demographics, performance of sports officials, and socialization. In order to improve middle school students’ behavior towards sports officials, parents, and teachers should collaborate and help students to internalize the principles of good sportsmanship. Introduction A sports event refers to “any interscholastic or intramural athletic activity organized and sponsored by any learning institution, the community, or a business”. Sports events are important because they promote the development of students’ leadership skills and physical wellbeing. Furthermore, they help students to identify their talents in various games such as football and basketball. Consequently, most schools promote sportsmanship among their students. Sportsmanship refers to “the values of fair play, adherence to the rules of the game, respect for opponents, and acceptance of official and referee judgements”. All stakeholders in sports events are expected to internalize all the values associated with sportsmanship. However, most students at middle school level have failed to uphold the spirit of sportsmanship. This can be illustrated by the rising number of incidences in which middle school students harass sports officials during or after sports events. A sports official refers to a person who is responsible for enforcing the rules of a game or supervising participants during a sports event. Statement of the Problem In the last two decades, middle school students have increasingly exhibited high levels of cynicism and negativity towards their opponents and sports officials. Deviant behaviors such as verbal abuse and physical harassment have become the norm in most middle school sports events across the country. This trend is explained in part by the fact that students want their teams to win at all costs. However, considering winning as the most important element of interscholastic sports denies students the chance to develop desirable values such as respect for others, self-discipline and responsibility. Poor character development among middle school students has led to an increase in the number of complaints by sports officials, especial, referees concerning various forms of harassment. Additionally, the
Introduction The social contract theory is one of the most influential theories on how the society is formed and operated. The theory addresses the moral and political obligations that individuals who make up a society have as a result of their interactions with each other. Two of the best known proponents of the social contract theory are John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau and they have written documents advocating for the theory. Locke’s “Second Treaties on Government” and Rousseau’s “The Social Contract” present varying arguments in defense of liberty. While both thinkers address the issue of social contract as the basis of society, they place emphasis on different players in the contract. For Locke, the agreement between the rulers and the ruled is of most importance and it forms the basis of the contract (Cahn, 2011). On the other hand, Rousseau stipulates that the social contract is essentially between all society members (Simpson, 2006). The paper will set out to articulate the arguments made in defense of liberty by Locke and Rousseau respectively so as to demonstrate that Locke’s position is more persuasive and profound. Locke’s Second Treaties on Government John Locke’s Second Treatise on Government was prompted by the overthrow of King James II by a group of Parliamentarians in 1688. Locke set out to explain why the Glorious Revolution of 1688 which had led to the overthrow of the king was justified (Cahn, 2011). In his document, Locke set out to define the legitimate role of civil government and expound on the conditions under which the state powers are needed. In Locke’s era, the people had been led to believe that the monarchy was ordained by God to rule over the masses. This belief was responsible for the absolute power which the monarch enjoyed over the commoners. Locke argued that people were free by nature and therefore not naturally subject to any power. This argument formed the basis of Locke’s understanding of liberty. Locke was a great advocate of government and his document was actually meant to encourage good governance. He was only opposed to tyranny since, in his opinion, the government existed to ensure the good of mankind. He therefore advocated for the right of the people to elect a just government through voting (Cahn, 2011). Locke’s also argued that the people should be the judge of when a gover
Solid Waste Management Problem in Manila Municipal solid waste refers to sewage emissions within a municipality. The main municipal solid wastes include commercial refuse, dead animals, demolition debris, household garbage, and plant remains, among others (Acosta 11). Solid waste management has become challenging in the Philippines, as the current options are not effective. Specifically, in the city of Manila, the quantity of solid wastes, in the form of municipal, commercial, and residential service garbage, has grown over the years due to an influx of human population. The predominant wastes include food, plastics, textile, and industrial effluents (Aquino et al.). Although the national and local governments have put in place legislation and strategies to counter this menace, their implementation has not been effective. For instance, the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act and the Republic Act (RA) 9003 have not been efficiently implemented due to economic and social setbacks. These challenges include limited budget allocation and poor garbage disposal habits among a section of the Manila population (Barrows 20). At present, there are open dumpsites and landfills against the Clean Air Act, which dictates that open sites should be closed. The government has attempted to implement sustainable and effective solid waste management strategies. For instance, in the year 2016, Metro Manila’s expenditure on waste management was P4.9 billion (Lopez). The problem of Solid Waste Management in Manila Metro Manila has suffered a surge in communicable diseases, such as cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and other food-borne infections, due to an increase in the quantity of garbage in the city. At present, the city mayor has tried appealing to the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to facilitate effective solid waste disposal. In turn, the authority has accused the mayor of neglecting his duty of cleaning the mess (Jenny). It seems there is a blame game between the government authorities, yet the menace of poor solid waste management is becoming a health hazard (Mercurio). Although apportioning blame on the city mayor and the MMDA is politically convenient, the reality is that there is no place available to dump the waste after the closure of the San Mateo landfill (Plaza). Moreover, bad weather has made the situation worse as some residents are currently damping their solid waste in river Pasig. At present, the challenge of poor solid waste management within the city of Manila should be addressed to avoid serious disasters that would pose a health risk and increase government expenditure (Lozada). Specifically, there is a need to create an effective solid waste management strategy accompanied by proper budget allocation as a solution to the present and long-term impacts of poor waste disposal. Loca
