The initial policy The policy is based on the provisions included in the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. This law specifies the duties of healthcare providers, especially the need to protect patients’ confidential data (McWay, 2009, p. 199). Furthermore, this law identifies those situations when a patient can restrict the accessibility of his/her health information. In turn, one should include the following guidelines:  1. Provided that a patient has paid in full for a certain medical service or an item, out of pocket, the employees of a hospital must not disclose this information to the healthcare plan. In particular, the organization should not provide this information to the insurance company.  2. If out-of-pocket payment covers only a part of the expenses, the hospital may not agree to the patient’s request.  3. Additionally, the organization has a right to disclose this information provided that it can be required for an emergency treatment.  4. Furthermore, this information can provided to the insurance company, if it is needed for a follow-up treatment that is not paid out of pocket.  5. Employees must not ask patients why they want this information to be restricted. These are the main aspects that can be identified. Comparison of two cases It is also possible to review legal cases related to protected health information (PHI). At first, one can refer to the Byrne v. Avery Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology (DeBarge & Erdfarb, 2015). This court decision is important because it implies that unauthorized disclosure of PHI can be compared to malpractice. In this case, the patient’s information was disclosed to her rela
Introduction As of today, the majority of literary critics agree with suggestions that the play The Tempest represents one of William Shakespeare’s most peculiar dramaturgical pieces, as it features a variety of clearly defined classical and medieval motifs that are being interwoven with each other rather integrally. This is the reason why the play’s motifs and themes appear innately familiar even to first-time viewers/readers. In their article Notes on the Tempest , Giorgio Strehler and Thomas Simpson refer to this particular Shakespeare’s play as being endowed with a strong humanitarian sounding: “A terrible story, and one repeated thousands, millions of times in different ways in mankind’s history. A story of usurpation and crime, of betrayal between brothers” (2002, 5). However, given the fact that The Tempest represents essentially an inseparable fusion between classical and medieval dramaturgical conventions, the task of identifying these conventions and setting them apart appears especially challengeable. Nevertheless, in this paper, we will attempt to do just that. Discussion Even for the people not utterly proficient in the history of classical dramaturgy, the parallels between Shakespeare’s play, in which ship carrying Ferdinand, Alonso, Sebastian, Antonio, Gonzalo, and Stephan was struck by the storm and consequentially arrived at a previously unknown island, and Virgil’s Aeneid , in which ship carrying Trojans has been brought to the shores of ‘barbarian’ Italy, appear self-evident. Just as it was the case in Virgil’s Aeneid , the storm in the initial part of The Tempest has been supernaturally inspired. In an introduction to The Tempest , Virginia Vaughan, and Alden Vaughan explore the theme of semantic similarity between Shakespeare and Virgil’s plays even to a further extent: “Shakespeare’s play is an imitation of the main patterns of Virgil’s epic in its beginning, middle, and end. Both stories commence with a tempest in which ships arc lost and heroes wrecked, yet the narratives later reveal supernatural agency at work – Venus in the Aeneid, Prospero’s magic in The Tempest. In the storm’s aftermath, the heroes are hopelessly lost, confused, and subject to strange visions… In the final section of each text, a new society is founded, new bonds are established” (1999, 57). During the classical period of Greco-Roman antiquity, the themes of exploration and ‘unknown’ were quite popular with contemporaries, because at that time, the Western realm was steadily expanding. The same can be said about the time when Shakespeare had written The Tempest – the first half of the 17 th century is now being commonly referred to as the peak of an Exploration Era. This is why, existential stance, on the part of many characters in Shakespea
Macro photography is not just a gift to see big in small things, but a kind of philosophy of life. A philosophy that makes it possible to discern in a pleasant trifle one of the eternal truths and in a subtle detail – a work of art. It is customary to call macro photography the shooting of objects comparable in size to the size of a film frame (sensor) or much smaller than it. Macro photography is no different from the usual one: here, one needs to focus in the same way, measure the exposure, set the aperture and shutter speed. Technical and scientific photography can be an element of the research process or an illustration to it. You cannot do without macro photography when studying, say, entomology. It is safe to say that most of the scientists working in this scientific field are talented photographers (Entomology Today). Since the 1950s – 60s, such a genre of macro photography as the macro-still life has also been known. Taking photographs of curved reflective surfaces, as well as artificial and natural textures using various printing and photomontage techniques, has fascinated photographers for almost a century. Macro photography is developing in parallel with art photography and surreal photography. Art photography is infinitely far from realism. The more imagination the author puts into the depicted object, the closer he is to the genre of art photography. The attention of macro photographers to the cute little things of life is adjacent to the most insane experiments. One should not strive for maximum increases. The most common mistake of amateur photographers is the desire to shoot larger. Experimenting in the genre of macro photography, one can feel like a theater director building a mise-en-scène. However, it should be stated that the scale of shooting should depend on the scene, not on the capabilities of your optical system. Refe
Organizations should implement evidence-based initiatives to recruit and retain competent employees. Successful institutions look for talent and specific talents that can support their objectives. It is indispensable to use appropriate strategies to develop and empower recruited staff members (Hearron & Hildebrand, 2011). Teaching organizations should hire accomplished workers and empower them to meet the needs of the targeted children. A study was conducted in a military childcare center to understand the recruitment, development, and retention strategies associated with the institution. This paper gives a detailed analysis of the center’s staffing needs. Staff Analysis Description The selected institution for this exercise is a military childcare center. The organization serves both preschoolers and infants. The center attracts children between 6 weeks and 5 years. Many institutions are characterized by workers from foreign countries (Tehseen & Ul Hadi, 2015). Majority of the teachers in the organization are from Jamaica. These workers constitute around 80 percent of the workforce. The remaining percentage is composed of spouses of current or former military personnel. The total number of teachers in the institution is 14. The school has four classrooms that serve more children from diverse backgrounds. The first classroom meets the needs of infants below the age of 1 year. The second class setting focuses on the needs of pre-toddlers aged 1-2 years. Toddlers aged 2-3 years are grouped in the same classroom. The fourth classroom is composed of preschoolers aged between 3 and 5 years. The center also encourages more families living near the camp to bring their children to the care center. The fourteen teachers are grouped in accordance with their competencies and ages. For instance, adept teachers are teamed up with new employees at the center. This combination creates strong teams capable
Introduction An airline alliance is coming together of two or more airlines and cooperates in their business at a substantial level. In the airline industry, there are three large and known passenger alliances that include, the sky team, Star Alliance and the Oneworld. On the other hand, there are also three cargo airlines alliances including, SkyTeam Cargo, WOW Alliance and ANA/UPS Alliance. The main reason for airline alliancing is to provide a netwowrk that is convenient and easily connected for international passengers and cargo. Alliances start as a code sharing of different airlines and also in order to improve their network and also have some benefits from each other. There are several advantages that are associated with alliances compared to mergers and acquisitions. Reasons for alliances There are different reasons why different companies’ alliance and others merge and acquire. Most international airlines alliance to increase their net including benefiting from each member, example, an airline might be flying from New York City to London, with an alliance which flies for example to Tel Aviv, it would be easy and less costly for both passengers and the airline to get their passengers in to their destination as they will proceed with their flight without a need to another airline to get them there. Most passengers prefer one time booking that will take them direct to their destination. The other reason most companies’ alliance is to reduce competition. When a member airline is flying to a given route, it would be hard for another member airline to introduce their flights to the same area and also it would get passengers from other airlines that do not fly to the route. Advantages of Alliances There are various advantages that are associated with alliances. When an airline joins an alliance, it’s guaranteed an extension of its network which is realized through the code sharing agreements.   * The allianced airlines reduce the costs of operations through sharing sales offices.   * The other benefits these airlines gets is through the sharing of the maintenance facilities that enable them maintain their aircrafts in any member hanger without paying.   * Allianced airlines also share operation staff especially the check-in and ground handling personnels.   * For small airlines, they could benefit because large airlines will be doing all the bookings and will only be giving the small airlines to ferry the passengers thus reducing the cost of operation in bookings, large number of employees and can use the large airline facilities without any problem. Disadvantages of alliances Though there are advantages associated with alliances, there are also disadvantages that are caused by
Malaysia – Kevin Chen is racing in the Asian Festival of Speed series, long considered to be the most exciting and largest race event in Asia that sees participants flying in from all over the world. He is participating in the FIA sanctioned Formula V6 Asia circuit that is being held at the Sepang International Circuit until June. Chen marked his first venture into the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia with a remarkable 4th place finish during the two day event. He dazzled both spectators and analysts who were highly impressed by his racing skills during his first time out on the circuit. Initially qualified for second place on the first day of the race, he was overtaken by Austrian driver Earl Bamber during the 5th lap, placing Kevin in 3rd place. He held his position until the 18th lap when opponent James Grunwell bumped into his rear right tire, forcing Kevin to spin on the first corner and end the race in 4th place. Since the results of the previous day’s race was used for the race grid, Kevin started in the 4th position. Faced with clutch and battery problems, Kevin nursed his car during the early laps of the race, causing him to initially fall to 6th place. Pushing his car to its limits, Kevin eventually got back into the thick of the race after the 35th lap regaining and finishing in his original 4th position. Interviewed by reporters after the second race, Kevin remained bullish that he would be able to get past his beginners hurdles and move up to pole position over the course of the remaining races. “The Sepang Circuit is a demanding course and is unlike what I am used to and is proving to be a challenge for me.” He related to the reporters who gathered for a mini – press conference called by his team manager at the pit garage after the race. “There are still 5 race weekends composed of 10 races to be held here in Sepang, Malaysia. I have plenty of time to further familiarize myself with the circuit, the other drivers and their styles. Then I can regain my lost ground and earn my right to the pole position.” Asked if he considered the seemingly sinking race track as a hindrance to his speed and driving style, Kevin explained that “The race track that will slow down Kevin Chen has not yet been built. Not even a race track built over a swamp will stop me from achieving my dream of winning the title”. There have been various safety concerns raised during the race because the track, which was built over a swamp seems to be steadily sinking. As a race venue, the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) has long been used as a venue for various motor sport events in Asia such as the Formula 1 Malaysian Grand Prix, A1 Grand Prix, and the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix. The circuit boasts of technologically advanced pit garages, media facilities, and audience friendly grandstands and amenities. Designed by Hermann Tilke of Germany, the circuit was designed for a clockwise direction race c
Introduction Today, more than ever, academics and tourism practitioners are in agreement that a rapidly budding expression of global commercialization of healthcare is medical tourism. Though a new and enterprising phenomenon in the tourism domain, the global medical tourism industry has expanded considerably in the recent past, with many thousands of patients from around the world traveling to destinations near and far to not only access medical care but also get immersed into a new cultural environment which is expected to occupy them during pre- and post-operative periods (Hopkins et al 185). The present paper seeks to illuminate the societal factors that drive medical tourism, and also outline its economic consequences – both positive and negative. Understanding the Relationship between Tourism & Health The choice of tourism destination is contingent upon many factors, some of which are more traditional while others are more conventional and specific. While the traditional tourist’s choice of a destination was hinged upon more sublime and transcendent factors, such as the desire to encounter authentic experiences and new cultural environments, an increasing number of modern-day tourists are being motivated by factors related to their health and wellbeing (Hopkins 187). Consequently, it can be presumed that issues related to the health and wellbeing of individuals are acting as launching blocks to a whole new form of tourism in the world arena. To add more fuel to the launching pins, extant literature demonstrates that “…people have become more health-conscious; they are interested in how to lead healthy lifestyles and are also willing to spend on their health and well-being” (Voigt et al 5). = The linkage between tourism and health, therefore, is best illuminated by how thousands of people engage in cross-border visits in the pursuit of healthcare services to maintain their health and treat their illnesses. This is the essence of medical tourism. Societal Factors driving Medical Tourism Extant literature demonstrates that medical
From a certain perspective, tourism is one of the most difficult industries to work in since it requires that people should be drawn to the same location regularly. For the tourism industry to work and for a company operating in it to succeed, one must consider all opportunities in branding and exhaust every chance at creating something truly unique and memorable. Unless a tourism company manages to connect to its target audience by appealing to their emotions, even the most brilliant marketing strategy may fall flat since these are the emotional experiences that draw people to specific places, as the discussion between Jason Clampet, Hannah Sampson, and Andrew Shievachman shows. The idea of making a brand relevant to the target audiences by promoting a better connection between family members and focusing on the significance of family ties, in general, clearly is an important concept in the tourism industry. While the idea of linking tourism and family values is not new, it makes the brand have a staying power by creating the idea that resonates with everyone. Therefore, continuing the identified promotion strategy seems quite legitimate. One might argue that the concept of support and safety that is linked immediately to the idea of family promoted by most tourism companies may fail to attract the target audience. While the fact that the post-nine-eleven audience seeks to regain the sense of security that they may have lost, tourism may also be associated with exploring uncharted lands, taking risks, and trying something new and thrilling. That being said, one must admit that the risk-taking adventurer that needs challenges as a tourist seems to have become a nearly extinct species; instead, the people using the services of a traveling agency seek an opportunity to take rest in a comfortable and cozy setting with a slight change of scenery. Therefore, for the representatives of the contemporary tourism industry, it is advisable to focus on using family values and the associated ideas as the driving force behind their promotion campaign. There is a reason for the marketing experts operating in the travel agency industry to focus on family-related concepts when choosing images that are used for advertising and promotion purposes. One might argue that the identified technique can be vie
It may be unfortunately stated that child abuse, neglect or other damaging exposures technically termed as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) is a reality and leads to depression. The ACE study reveals that short and long term effects incorporate a large number of health or social difficulties. It demonstrates that exposure to abusive experiences leads to premature beginning of smoking, sexual doings and illegitimate drug use, teenage pregnancies, and self-destructive attempts. It shows that depression has a close linkage with such events. Such negative experiences cause depression in the child during adolescence or in adulthood. However the numbers of females who are affected are far more than the numbers of males. (Hyde, 2008). Female children are to some extent more prone to experience depressing life events and, in particular during adolescence, bear a significantly more pessimistic view of those events. Among the severest of harmful life experiences is child sexual abuse. It is also more probable that a girl would experience it as compared to boys at some point in childhood or near the beginning of adolescence. Peer sexual harassment, which increases during the onset of the teens, is an added stressful occurrence. Twice the numbers of girls than boys testify to have been subject to sexual abuse during childhood or adolescence. Maximum intensification in sexual abuse for girl sufferers is during the early teenage period. An important national survey concluded that a person has made 27% of females and 16% of males victims of sexual contact in his youth or a grown-up. (Felitti, 2008) These results indicate that girls are more likely to face the consequences of this ACE than boys are and thus results of more women affected by depression can be explained. In order to reach out to those who are affected by this particular ACE, the article follows a theoretical framework substantiated by practical data to understand an entity’s psychological development and conduct across his/her life span. The significance of a client’s expectation for premium, proficient, principled, skillful and professional approach is realized. Various relevant aspects undergo in-depth analysis and their effects on the victim’s mental health are evaluated. Analysis is based on purely empirical facts, which are the outcome of extensive surveys, carried out by professionals using updated technological advances and are integrated into their everyday practices. (Felitti, 2008). Evidence based practices are much more logical and competent. The article provides a lot of data based on periodic evaluation of factors on
Introduction In Confessions by St. Augustine, we can follow the path which St. Augustine went through in his philosophical and religious views. “The work is a tour de force of confession, a highly intimate and often lyrical confession of praises and of thanksgiving, of sins, and of faith, by a mortal man speaking to his omnipotent and omniscient God” (Kotzé 197). Content and Analysis The second book starts from the desire of St. Augustine to recall of his memories from the past in order to recognize the rottenness of his past life once again and to love the God. He confesses that the passion rules his actions and that he sin a lot. “But, fool that I was, I foamed in my wickedness as the sea and, forsaking thee, followed the rushing of my own tide, and burst out of all thy bounds. But I did not escape thy scourges” (St. Augustine par. 5). In the second book of Confessions, St. Augustine told us about his life when he was sixteen years old. At that time he did not recognize his mistakes and he achieved the understanding and recognitions of his actions later when he had adhered to Christianity. In Chapter 5 of Book II, we get to know the reasons and consequences of people sins explained by St. Augustine on the examples of his own life. He also tells us that the God has forgiven his sins and rescued his soul. “When, therefore, we inquire why a crime was committed, we do not accept the explanation unless it appears that there was the desire to obtain some of those values which we designate inferior, or else a fear of losing them. For truly they are beautiful and comely, though in comparison with the superior and celestial goods they are abject and contemptible” (St. Augusitine par. 15). In Book VII, we see how long path St. Augustine has gone to become a Christian. In the search of the answers to his questions, he turned to Neo-Platonism and other philosophical movements. However, in Christianity, he obtained a real recognition of his life and actions. In the first chapter, he mentions that his youth, which has been malicious and criminal, has come to the past, and he has entered in the mature age acquiring the life wisdom and true faith to God. The content of the seventh book gives us an un
