Hispanic Culture The Hispanic populace in the United States is strongly assorted having starting points in Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean. Every one of these sub-regions has its own phonetic and rationalization varieties just as contrasts in convictions, ways of life, and customs. Moreover, social contrasts exist between Latinos from various countries and living conditions, financial classes, levels of schooling and assimilation, and perspectives toward medical care conveyance modalities. The problem of communicating with Hispanic patients for nurses Hispanics in the U.S. experience critical well-being disparities in comparison to non-Hispanic residents. Culture assumes a critical part in the medical care dynamic interaction inside Hispanic society (Amirehsani et al., 2017). Information demonstrates that Hispanics are more averse to reporting having disease screening tests like a mammogram or colonoscopy, or to get A1C checks, or having a typical wellspring of care than Whites (Amirehsani et al., 2017). Hispanics experience social determinants of well-being that contrarily sway their capacity to get to medical care administrations, for example, low well-being education and restricted English capability. A few Hispanics discover their medical services in non-clinical spots, depending on people medication and conventional healers. This dependence does not supplant current biomedicine; rather, natural cures and other non-allopathic therapies regularly are used related to Western clinical consideration. Aside from these language and financial incongruities and variety in the manner medical care is imagined and searched out, contrasts in cultural values can likewise strain the clinical medical services experience for Hispanic patients. Similarly, as with any outlined ethnic gathering, there is, obviously, gigantic social heterogeneity among Hispanic patients-to where it appears to be practically outrageous to attempt to recognize wide social inclinations across such variety. Measures to work on social skill and ethnic variety will assist with easing medical care variations and further develop medical services r
One of the most important things to consider is the fact that coffee is the second most valuable commodity after oil. It is worth approximately $30 billion and therefore it is wise to invest in products that would help deliver quality coffee to consumers worldwide. For Nestle – the largest food company in the world – the best marketing strategy is to corner the instant coffee market. It was proven to be an excellent decision because soluble coffee represented 80% of Nestlé’s coffee sales. But its major competitors are becoming more aggressive. Furthermore, there are significant changes in the coffee market which can be partially explained by the emergence of signature coffee brands such as Starbucks, the popularity of bistros, cafes, and coffee bars as well as the entry of supermarket chains into the coffee market using their distributor-owned-brands. It is time for Nestle to be more aggressive and to focus on expanding its presence in the roast and ground coffee market as well as provide a new product for the high-end customer. These are the people who love the rich and foamy coffee that can only be found in coffee bars or restaurants. This kind of coffee experience can only be achieved with the use of an
Literature indicates that the connection between a thin body image and extreme prettiness amongst the majority of American women has culminated into an undesirable consequence on their self-esteem and dieting parameters . Concurrently, women are striving to attain the beauty associated with a thin body to an extent that it ultimately becomes a vice. It is crucial for the Society to make it clear that being extremely skinny is not pretty. Trends pertaining to slimming are engraved in women thus making it a social problem. Regardless of the fact that the condition poses concerns to individuals, its practice is based on the inability of the victims to deduce right from wrong. Although there are numerous discussions about body image in America, too many of them show flaws in their reasoning by equating thinness with beauty. The predicament is a product of societal influence, culture, peer pressure, and unmatched fantasies. Leon-Guerrero (10) indicates that celebrities and other normal citizenry focus on the purported beauty, which is attributed to individuals being thin. The intention of this imitation is to bring forth the associated happiness, which the superstars enjoy (Leon-Guerrero 10). Another aspect is the nature and behavior of women demonstrated
The U.S. Maritime Security is made up of a variety of laws, regulations, different agencies that bear the responsibility for ensuring that the ports are safe and that the cargo goes in and out securely. Since the 11th September, the National Congress has created and passed an array of laws that relate to the maritime security, including the 2002 Maritime Transportation Security Act (Bondareff & O’Neill, 2013, para. 3). From the start of the Nation, the security of maritime ports has been of great concern. Since the early beginnings of the country development, the US Coast Guard alongside with the US Custom service shared efforts to protect the ports, waterways, and maritime borders from a variety of attacks and other criminal acts ( Maritime Transportation System Security Recommendations for the National Strategy for Maritime Security , 2005, p. 6). They still contribute to the Nation’s security by preventing and suppressing human and contraband smuggling, illegal migration, piracy and other crimes that occur within port facilities. According to the testimony of Christopher Koch (2002), the President & CEO of the World Shipping Council, before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, “Designing and implementing an effective maritime security program will require cooperation, information sharing, and coordination between government and industry. At the outset, the Council recommends that the federal government’s strategy and actions should be consistent with certain principles” (p. 3). Thus, the implementation of the Maritime Transportation Security Act is a unified strategy for addressing the primary issues linked with maritime safety. Improving security aboard and in ports required clearly stated responsibilities as well as an integrated approach. Second, the regimen of security should allow the free and efficient trade flow. Secure and efficient transportation should work side-by-side. Maritime Transportation Security Act Significance The authority of law administration is assigned to the Department of Homeland Security and is distributed among various entities within the Department. These entities include the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, the Transportation Security Administration, Customs and Borders Protection, and the U
The clinical manifestations currently present in the patient point to the possible development of chronic kidney condition, with immediate intervention required. First, the patient has some serious complaints about swelling, eventually being diagnosed with pitting edema in ankles and feet. The swelling, or edema, primarily occurs when the body contains excessive fluid. Since kidney function is responsible for removing waste material from the body, including water and sodium, it is reasonable to assume that swelling may be caused by a disruption in kidney function. While edema may be relevant for other issues, such as poor diet and heart problems, the suspected kidney failure is also justified by the patient’s cholesterol levels. Thus, whereas the normal total cholesterol range shall not exceed 200 mg/dL, Mr. C.’s levels are currently at 250 mg/dL. The number of triglycerides in Mr. C. is nearly twice as high as the ideal range of 150 mg/dL, whereas the high-density lipoprotein levels are twice as low as the adult norm (US National Library of Medicine, n.d.). According to the researcher, such serious issues with cholesterol levels are highly associated with the risk of end-stage renal disease (Kim et al., 2017). The patient’s respiratory rate is slightly abnormal due to excessive weight, but his heart rate is within the normal range. The blood pressure is significantly elevated. Obesity and Health Risks The issue of obesity has been a prevalent health issue on a global level, and the tendency is not likely to change any time soon, as the statistics demonstrate a steady increase in the obesity rates (Kinlen et al., 2018). Apart from evident complications on the people’s vitals such as higher blood pressure and heart rate, obesity has a serious of potential complications that may be detrimental to human health and life expectancy. Such complications include but are not limited to diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and cancer (Kinlen et al., 2018). Moreover, obesity is a serious risk factor of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which stands for the gradual process of kidney function worsening and eventually leading to kidney failure when ignored (Kovesdy et al., 2017). For this reason, in order to avoid morbid implications of obesity and excessive weight, early intervention is vital. In the case of Mr. C., the early intervention was ignored, as the patient considered the issue to be genetic. When looking at the medical record, there is no indication of the patient’s regular physical activity and healthy nutrition patterns, except for the attempts to cut on sodium in order to normalize blood pressure. While bariatric surgery may be a reasonable option for the patient, as his genetic predisposition to obesity, along with a possible kidney failure, limit the patient’s options for slower recovery with no surgical interference. Considering the patient’s condition, he is likely to struggle wit
Introduction Recently, there has been a huge explosion in the fitness industry and 24-hour gym business in Australia. The establishment of 24-hour gym centers has changed how Australians view the fitness industry. Clients are provided with a wider range of gym services. SWOT analysis is utilized by firms to assess how their business models could make them achieve excellent performance outcomes (Jackson, Joshi, and Erhardt 820). This paper gives an overview of the gym business concerning Anytime Fitness and Jetts. The paper also analyses the business models of the two firms to determine the firm with a better business model. Also, it offers a conclusion based on the findings presented in the paper. Case study overview People use fitness centers to exercise their bodies. There has been a general increase in the demand for gym facilities in Australia because people believe that frequent exercises could improve their quality of life. Research has also shown that some forms of body exercise could prevent the onset of such health conditions as heart problems and high blood pressure. Due to the high demand for 24-hour gyms, entrepreneurs are faced with stiff competition to meet the needs of the people. Anytime Fitness is characterized by a large market share and stiff competition against its business rivals. Therefore, no other club can do any operation in the area where the business operates. Jetts was started in 2007 by Brendon and Christy. It started as a no-contact 24-hours club. Critical Analysis Using Business Concepts Jetts’ chain has transformed the fitness business with the club model. It has adopted a franchising model, which allows it to engage other firms to offer gym services on its behalf. This approach has enabled the firm to record very good financial results over the years. However, the business establishment conducts a thorough analysis before it contracts with another firm to offer gym services. For example, it checks the financial background of the franchise (Heathcote par. 8). The management also assesses the facilities that franchises could have for exemplary fitness services. The firm has a wide range of such equipment as bikes, treadmills, individual TV screens, and traine
Gillette is one of the most successful firms among men’s products, especially in the manufacture and sale of the shavers. This has been attributed to its superior marketing strategies (Kotler & Keller, 2012, p. 534). The firm has been able to convince its customers that more razorblades are better for them. Its marketing strategies have been focused on its superior double and triple razorblades. This has worked for the company because of a number of reasons. The first reason is the emotional appeal that Ottman (2011, p. 38) says is very important in a market that is very competitive. This firm has been able to achieve emotional appeal to its customers making it a unique product to different people based on the emotions it evokes (Eddie, 2010, p. 480). To a section of its customers, Gillette symbolizes efficiency in shaving because of their argument that their triple blade shavers are three times more efficient than a standard shaver. To another section, Gillette is the ultimate product that can be used when one has limited time. A process that would take six minutes with a standard shaver takes only two minutes. This is so because of the double or triple blades in the shavers as explained in the commercials of this product. As shown in the case study, the marketing unit of Gillette knew that they had to convince their customers that their double blades and triple blades were more effective than the standard products in the market (Roedy & Fisher, 2011, p. 68). The commercial for the triple blade shows a scenario where the three blades work closely in a single shave to ensure that there is no need for a repeat. As mentioned in the case study, Gillette has been able to convince customers that more razorblades are good. However, it is now time to focus on the future of the firm. The firm must be ready to determine the path that will be taken towards achieving future success. For this reason, there is need to determine the best approach that can keep this firm active in the market. The dynamism in the market shows that a firm must be able to change its marketing strategies to remain competitive. The most probable focus should be an emphasis on the efficiency of a single blade. The marketing team should find a way of convincing the customers that although more is still good, each of the blades in the shavers have improved quality, making them more appropriate in shaving. This may help the firm to retain its competitiveness. Gillette has used some of the top celebrities in the world to endorse the brand, making it one of the most popular brands in male products. In fact, this brand has been considered one of the best brands in the market for several years among men’s product. It is important to note that the success of this firm in marketing men around the world using the celebrities is that it seeks to appeal to the emotions of the viewers. The marketing team has been engaged in extensive researches to identify some of the emotional appeals that the firm can use to attract the customers, and one such way of achieving this is to use celebrities (Ryan & Jones, 2012, p. 89). When these celebrities engage in controversies that ma
Introduction This discussion focuses on three major disorders affecting different people. The targeted conditions include Parkinson’s disease, preeclampsia, and postpartum depression. Preeclampsia is also closely associated with gestational diabetes (Nerenberg et al., 2013). The discussion identifies powerful practices that can support the health needs of every affected patient. Preeclampsia and Gestational Diabetes Gestational diabetes is “caused by the body’s inability to use sugar during pregnancy” (Nerenberg et al., 2013, p. 5). According to Nerenberg et al. (2013), preeclampsia is a form of hypertension arising from pregnancy. Medical practitioners should be aware of their patients’ medical and personal histories. For instance, cases of preeclampsia in the patient’s family should be taken seriously. Individuals “who had preeclampsia during their past pregnancies have higher chances of developing the disorder” (Nerenberg et al., 2013, p. 992). The occurrence of kidney disease or blood pressure increases chances of getting the disorder. The medical history of an individual should also be taken seriously. Doctors should be aware of any medication prescribed to the targeted patient. The best drugs for this condition include calcium and aspirin. Magnesium sulfate is also “used to reduce seizures associated with the condition” (Nerenberg et al., 2013, p. 992). Risk factors should also be monitored before and during pregnancy. Follow-up care should focus on the health outcomes of the patient. Individuals with hypertension should continue to receive the best therapies even after giving birth. This disorder has numerous implications on the patient’s health. The development of preeclampsia after 24 weeks of pregnancy can cause numerous challenges. The condition can affect the patient’s health. The baby’s health is also threatened by the disorder (Nerenberg et al., 2013). For example, the baby’s growth rate decreases significantly (Wendland et al., 2012). Patients should also get appropriate medical attention. Appropriate medications will also be required to manage blood pressure. Postpartum Depression Postpartum depression is “a mood disorder that occurs after giving birth” (Hou et al., 2014, p. 49). Doctors should be aware of a patient’s personal and medical history in order to deal with postpartum depression. Medical practitioners should understand the mental history of the individual. Patients who have recorded different forms of depression before should be handled with care. The medical history of the patient will help the doctor to offer the best drug therapy. Doctors can use several methods to deal with postpartum depression. Psychotherapy can focus on mental support and counseling. Such therapies will make it possible
The motivation for Cubbies Cable Company in taking the position to expense all cable costs during the nine months has its basis on the principle of minimizing losses incurred in construction costs. In effect, when Cubbies Cable Company expensed its costs, they developed a factual costing, and thus, the issues regarding extended construction costs and interest diminished. Albrecht, Stice, and Stice (2007) explain that expensed costs represent costs that experience full utility and minimal future value. Therefore, it is evident that the company wanted to ensure that the assets acquired during the construction process would serve the company under minimal expenditure in relation to its expensed value. By expensing all the cable costs for the nine months, the company based its motivation on minimizing the expenditure and increasing the revenues as reflected in the earnings of the year that ended on September 30, 2010. Cubbies integrity as a company is questionable since it had an agreement not to capitalize any of the costs and interests incurred during the construction process. From the agreement, it is clear that the company violated the Financial Accounting Standard Number 51 of the Cable Television Companies, which requires capitalization of costs incurred during the prematurity period. In the explanation provided by Bragg (2006), the Financial Accounting Standard Number 51 of Cable Television Companies states that costs and interests incurred during the prematurity period should be subject to capitalization. As such, by stating that they would not capitalize the costs, the company violated the act, a factor that places their integrity on a flawed balance. The implication of the company’s failure to abide by the provisions of the act is a questionable integrity. Fundamentally, Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) need to ‘horse trade’ or come to an agreement with the client on the proper Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to apply in a particular situation. By providing the requisite information on the accounting principles that prevail in a given situation, accountants help clients to make wise decisions, which result in loyalty and consumer satisfaction. In the case of Cubbies Cable Company, the client had minimal information, and thus, was dissatisfied in the end when the projected revenues increased over the expectations. According to the elucidation of Baxter and Davidson (2014), ‘horse trading’ helps CPAs to exercise their accounting principles in an ethical and realistic manner. With sufficient information on what principles will prevail in a respective situation, clients make the necessary arrangements that cushion them from unwarranted expenses. The client and the company are the major stakeholders involved in the situation concerning Cubbies Cable Company. Since the situation or dispute concerns the client and the company, they are the victims affected by the issue, and thus, are the central stakeholders. The relevance of the client transpires from the fact that the client was involved in construction and expensing of the costs incurred during the prematurity period. Consequently, the company is the
Introduction Hotel Rwanda is a movie based on the real-life story of the Rwandese experience during the 1994 genocide that saw about 0.8 million Tutsis and Hutus lose their lives; the civil strife was between the Hutus and the Tutsis. The film mainly details how one generous man risked his own life to save his own life, his family, and about one thousand other Rwandese whose lives were at stake. Political Ideologies of each Group The Hutu power claimed that the Tutsis were intent on enchaining the Hutu people. The Hutu militias, therefore, vowed to resist enslavement by Tutsis by all means available to them; this ideology is exemplified by the fact that Hutus have always been ruled by the Tutsis since the times before colonization of the region. When the Belgians lost control of the region, the two parties started fighting to fill the power vacuum that remained. Besides, the assassination of the 1994 president, who belonged to ethnic Tutsi, was one of the main causes; the Hutus accused the Tutsis of having been responsible for the president’s assassination. The Tutsis never wanted to share power with the Hutus and instead wanted to possess power exclusively. For instance, the president of Rwanda at the time was a Tutsi and he clearly represented Tutsi power that the Hutus were intent on dislodging. The Tutsi minority represented the aristocracy in Rwanda. Interest Groups in the Film One of the interest groups is the Hutu militia that wanted to ensure that all the Tutsis are wiped out of Rwanda after which they wanted to establish Hutu power. The other interest group is the group of foreign peacekeepers led by the United Nation military representative; the peacekeepers are evacuating foreigners from Rwanda and take back to their countries of origin leaving Hutus and Tutsis as they massacre one another without any foreign intervention. The last interest group is constituted by the desperate Tutsis who are seeking help to escape the heinous killings by the radical Hutu militias. The Peacekeepers institute an interest group because they represented the international community in Rwanda. During the genocide, foreign journalists captured the events in video cameras and used the media as the most effective technique. The films were expected to help attract the attention of the international community to the situation and subsequently respond to the distress of the Rwandan people. These techniques failed since most international communities never showed interest in getting involved in the central African affair. Where legitimacy of the power of the character was questioned The president belonged to the powerful Tutsi community, which has been dominating the Hutus since the 18th century. However, the legitimacy of his government is questioned when he is killed (His killing is blamed on his fellow Tutsis) and Hutus rise to power, immediately setting the scene for genocide against Tutsis. In response to the killings of the Tutsis, around 14,000 Tutsis dominated
