Question With overcrowded classrooms, students spilling into portables, teachers dissatisfied with the working conditions, and parents upset by the situation in the school, what can be done to improve student performance and teacher and parent attitude? Goal No fewer than 75 percent of the students at The High School will demonstrate sufficient preparation on the Comprehension Achievement Test (CAT) and the High School Comprehensive Test (HSCT). Research Plan To make an assessment of space availability and teacher/student ratios, student diligence and discipline, student behavioural issues, classroom management plans, CAT and HSCT teaching methods, teacher commitment, willed parent participation, and administrative support, data will be collected through the application of questionnaires and surveys. The evaluation of the above-mentioned variables will help making conclusions regarding any underling problems and complicated issues that may have connection with the major problem observed in this research. As student performance is the core issue, special attention will be paid to conducting comparative analysis of high school students’ scores at CAT and HSCT of the previous years and the current results acquired this academic year. Sub-problems Sub-problems that may have connections with the main problem of low student performance and discouragement among teachers and parents are  1. the lack of space in classrooms and inadequate ratios between teachers and students;  2. unwise management of exceptional students;  3. inadequate application of teacher discipline policies ;  4. insufficient teacher training with regards to CAT and HSCT;  5. parents’ unwieldiness to participate in the educational process and failure to cooperate with teachers and the administration of the school; and  6. administrative omissions with handling behaviour disruptions. Research Hypotheses   * Hypothesis 1: Better result in student performance on the CAT and HSCT will be achieved in case classes get smaller and sufficient level of student discipline is ensured.   * Hypothesis 2: Better result in student performance on the CAT and HSCT will be achieved in case the level of teacher qualification gets higher by means of additional training including acquiring new theoretic knowledge and practical skills on implementation of this information in academic settings.   * Hypothesis 3: Better result in student performance on the CAT and HSCT will be achieved in case the school administration officers will encourage active parent participation in the educational process both at school and at home. Critical Assumptions Current research assumes that   * The decrease in the correlation between teachers and students facilitates the learning environment   * Class sizes can be lessened in case all the existing space in the school applicable for learning is utilized   * Sufficient attention to exceptional students that includes placing them into the corresponding academ
Introduction The XYZ limited company was established in the UK during the year 1990 to become the market leader in funding creative projects in England. The company is strong in the UK and neighbouring regions. Providing support to creative projects and forms of art is useful in ensuring that innovative creations are recognized and marketed worldwide (Grover & Vriens, 2006, p. 7).

The article “COVID-19 vaccines: Safety with rheumatoid arthritis” by Sissons (2021) discusses the relationship between the COVID-19 vaccine and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The author’s main concern is the safety of the vaccination for patients who have this autoimmune disorder and the adverse effects that this disease can have on people with RA. The author alleges that RA subjects people to a more severe COVID-19 disease flow, which is why these individuals should consider vaccination as a way of protecting them from severe symptoms of COVID. Significance This article is significant because it links RA and COVID-19, providing advice to patients with RA and potentially helping them avoid having serious complications if they get COVID-19. RA typically affects people after their thirties and I think that RA will not affect me in the future, however, according to the CDC (n.d.), 24% of people in the US have arthritis, and it is the leading cause of disability in the state. Therefore, the population of people who suffer from RA is extensive, and they will benefit from this article because it explains the potential comorbid conditions that one may have after contracting COVID-19 that are linked to RA. Personal Response This article was interesting to me because vaccination against COVID-19 is perhaps the most significant topic today, especially due to a large number of people who oppose vaccination altogether. Hence, the author covered an important topic because people with RA need to consider the benefits and potential dangers of both getting vaccinated and potentially having COVID-19, and they need all the information and expert opinion they can have. I think that the author of this article has sufficiently discussed the specifics of RA and how COVID-19 can affect the patients with these conditions, therefore justifying the need for vaccination for patients with RA. Moreover, the author cites reputable sources, such as The American College of Rheumatology, which specializes in RA research and can be trusted by a reader. Therefore, the author does a good job of explaining the importance of vaccines and citing evidence to support their position. One way of improving this article is by providing more statistics, such as the number of vaccinated individuals in the US, the number of COVID-19 cases, and the percentage of people affected by RA, which would help strengthen the author’s argument. Description of the Disease Etiology and Mechanism of Disease RA is an autoimmune disease, meaning that its mechanism of action is linked to the immune system of the affected individual attacking the body. Typically, the immune system sends antibodies to protect the organs from illnesses; however, with RA, the antibodies attack the healthy tissues of the joints. Due to this, the synovium becomes inflamed and releases chemicals that damage the nearby tissues and bones (Aletaha, & Smolen, 2018). As a result, the joints may be destroyed completely if the condition is left u
Acquisition management is the collection of systems and tools that enable organizations to plan purchases, allocate funds, and execute transactions. Storing and processing information in this area allows managers to make purchases in the most systematic, convenient, and efficient way. One of the clearest examples of a quality acquisition management system is DoD. First, it has various technical means to make the process more convenient. This includes hardware, software, manuals, and other details. Second, the process of buying goods is elaborate and systematic. It includes not only purchasing, but also testing, production, support, and other stages. Third, it is essential to note the competent management of the DoD acquisition management system. This includes planning, organizing, leadership, and human resources (Brown, 2010). Thus, the DoD is an example of a well-functioning acquisition management system. There are several challenges faced by purchasing decision-makers and analysts. Many of them are related to the area of ​​financing, as the allocation of funds is not always an easy task. Thus, these people need to prioritize correctly to spend funds on the essentials. In this process, analysts must intelligently identify the critical needs, and decision-makers must confirm or refute their ideas. Thus, some acquisitions may be rejected, but as a result, the organization will be able to receive the highest priority goods and services. One of the most interesting points of acquisition management is the external factors that influence it. These include, for example, politics, media, emergencies, and other aspects of the organization’s activities (Tyszkiewicz and Daggett, 1998). As a consequence, acquisition management becomes a complex and challenging task. The versatility of acquisition management success should also be noted. Success is measured in different ways: timeliness, balance, profitability, and other factors (Tyszkiewicz and Daggett, 1998). Undoubtedly, this complicates the task but allows clear recognition of the requirements of different stakeholders. To support the activities related to acquisition management, actions need to be taken in different areas. This applies to staff training, budget allocation, public relations, and many other aspects of the organization’s functioning. Each of them should be given special attention so that they do not contradict each other and work for the company’s good. In particular, this applies to saving money, hiring experienced employees, and creating a positive image in the media.
Abstract Various nursing degrees have different benefits and drawbacks. An Associate’s Degree in Nursing (ADN) can be completed quickly and is not as expensive as a Bachelor’s Degree (BSN). The BSN, however, offers more opportunities to nurses and results in higher-paying jobs and more available positions. A Master’s degree is a necessary step for one to become a nursing manager and advance one’s career. Nursing educators may choose to receive a doctoral degree which allows them to influence healthcare policies. Each degree has its own implications for nursing practice. A push towards postgraduate degrees can be explained by the advanced range of competencies and deep understanding of the field that they offer. Introduction and Purpose Different paths of the nursing career require individuals to complete many levels of training to become professionals in their fields. Thus, education for future and current nurses offers many types of degrees and programs, each teaching new skills as well as theoretical and practical knowledge. The first possible degree leading to the status of a Registered Nurse (RN) is the Associate’s Degree in Nursing (ADN) (Auerbach et al., 2015b). The second type is the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), which grants similar opportunities but with a broader sphere of implementation (Buerhaus, Auerbach, & Staiger, 2016). The next steps in nursing can open many possibilities for future educators and community representatives. Thus, a Master’s or a doctoral degree in nursing may also be helpful to a professional in this field. Each of these degrees has a specific purpose and also possesses various benefits. However, their disadvantages should also be outlined for nurses who are thinking about their future. Choosing the right path for nurses can heavily influence their practice. Moreover, the rate of nurses p
Describe the history of American involvement in Hawaii from initial contact to statehood Over many years, the issue of Hawaii statehood has been faced by many controversies. Some people have been opposing the idea while others have been supporting the idea, enormously. Some of the main characters in these conflicts were Walter Dillingham and Ingram Stainback (Whitehead 1). Dillingham provided a significant opposition on the statehood where he based his point on alleged communist infiltration. However, he refrained from showing his views publicly. His efforts in the fight against statehood were in most cases underground. In other words, he did not express his views against statehood in the public, but secretly with other leaders. On the other hand, Stainback publicly opposed the statehood. However, Stainback was one of the proponents of statehood of the Hawaii before he changed his mind. It is argued that he changed his stand after being convinced by the United States Army on the communist practice taking place on the islands (Whitehead 2). This forced him to change his mind hence supporting the views of others who rejected the statehood. Later in 1950s, Stainback maintained his position even after being removed from the leadership by President Truman (Whitehead 2). In 1949, the Hawaii Resident Association was formed. This movement experienced a lot of opposition from Stainback and Dillingham. However, the association was supported by the majority of the islands’ most powerful republican families (Whitehead 3). In 1893, the military personnel and some diplomats from the United States joined hands together with some other groups of people and decided to overthrow the Hawaiian government (Anonymous 2). Despite of these threats, people from Hawaii continued with their struggle for the statehood. They demanded for equality and opposed oppression by the whites. In 1940, Hawaii was prepared for the statehood. During this year, Hawaii intensified its demands for the statehood where more than 60% of the electorate strongly supported joining the union. Later after the World War II, people demanded for the statehood once more. During this time, the call for statehood was strongly supported than any other time. More people with more fierceness demanded for the statehood. This provided high level of optimism to the leaders as they saw some hope ahead. There are several reasons to why the statehood was strongly supported. To start with, Hawaiian people wanted to have independence where they can be able to elect their own governor. The people also wanted a system, which would allow them to elect their own president. During that period, people were taxed without voting representation in the
Introduction While discussing various approaches to diet, some fundamentals on healthy food must be considered. First of all, it is necessary to point out that healthy food improves the quality of people’s life. Thus, low-income communities tend to consume fatty and sugary foods, which cause the severe health problems. For instance, it should be noted that those who suffer from obesity, diabetes and a wide range of heart diseases consume foods of poor quality. On the other hand, those individuals, who are deeply concerned about their health, try to avoid visiting fast food and convenience stores. Of course, the dominant factor, which affects people’s health, is considered to be a community environment. Healthy foods and a number of dietary habits impact on a person’s mode of life. One is to keep in mind that there are several diet theories, which determine healthy eating strategies people tend to rely on. The theories, which seem to be of particular concern, include the macrobiotic diet, the theory of Ayurveda, the Okinawan eating practice and the caveman diet. The macrobiotic diet The macrobiotic diet means eating organic, natural, and vegetable foods. One of the key principles the macrobiotic diet is based on is to provide people with an opportunity to eat healthy foods, in order to extend the duration of life. People who are on the macrobiotic diet are mostly interested in grains and vegetables, rather than in high-fat products. While being on the macrobiotic diet, it is necessary to remember that proportions of food are extremely important to feel how the diet works . Anna Kane states that “The standard macrobiotic diet recommends that 50-60% of calories come from whole grains, 25-30% from land vegetables, 5-10% from sea vegetables and 5% from soups. Only 6% of calories should come from protein” (par. 2). However, some critical approaches are also to be taken into consideration. Thus, the benefits the kind of the diet brings about people’s health are not scientifically proven. It is necessary to point out that the diet was not developed by scientists, but philosophers who believed that the key to healthy life was found. One more interesting point is that the macrobiotic theory emphasizes chewing all food a considerable period of time. The kind of the diet is considered to be more appropriate for people with holistic approaches; although it was not proven that a person’s physical, psychological and mental well-being is encouraged by the macrobiotic diet. The evolution of the macrobiotic theory cannot be neglected, as due to the westernization processes the macrobiotic diet was transformed into a diet emphasizing a vegetarian approach to eating. According to some assumptions, the macrobiotic diet prevents not only chronic diseases development, but also the development of cancerous tumours. The theory of Ayurveda While describing s
Introduction Donald Trump, the current President of the United States of America, is planning to run again in the 2020 election with the same platform and will likely become the Republican nominee. The Democrats are currently in the middle of choosing a contender among a variety of options. Joe Biden, who served as Vice-President in the Obama administration, is among the most prominent candidates. Both presidential candidates acknowledge the existence of inequality in society, but they come from different backgrounds and offer dissimilar solutions. They put a different emphasis on racism, sexism, and classism, respectively. This essay tries to compare the two candidates’ platforms and determine how they would influence the oppression in people’s lives. Racism Joe Biden highlights issues of racial discrimination in his campaign explicitly but does not clarify the specific measures. “Joe’s vision” (2019) promotes the idea of making it easier for Americans of color to vote and having their voices count equally in the nation’s democracy. The campaign also supports the messages of inclusivity, tolerance, and diversity, all of which benefit people of races other than Caucasians. With that said, there is no description of the specific issues affecting people of color or the measures that will be taken to help them. As such, it is challenging to quantify the specific benefits that may result from Mr. Biden’s election. Donald Trump’s campaign website directs the user to the website that lists the current administration’s various achievements with the implicit promise that the President will achieve more of the same should he be elected again. “Recent President Donald J. Trump accomplishments” (2019) highlights the unemployment rates of Asian and African Americans, which have hit a record low in 2019 and achieved the lowest disparity with white people ever. As such, minorities are becoming equal in the workplace, and their increased economic viability likely contributes to their social life, as well. Overall, Mr. Trump is willing to help anyone who shows an inclination to work, regardless of their race. Sexism Joe Biden’s website does not mention women or sexism in its central positions. While this omission may be assumed to be an oversight or the candidate’s focus on issues he believes to be more prominent, his past complicates the situation. Mr. Biden has a history of sexist accusations, which have continued into 2019 with stories such as that published by Elsesser (2019), who calls him a benevolent sexist. This variety of the trait stems from a belief that women are less capable than men instead of an active dislike. As a result, Mr. Biden is likely to be patronizing to women, a tendency that may express itself in his policies as President. Donald Trump’s attitude to women takes the same direction as race, with a significant focus on economics, j
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) denotes a psychotherapy practice that addresses problems while seeking to enhance happiness through modification of dysfunctional behaviors, deliberations, and sentiments. I am convinced that it is the task of CBT therapists to assist patients in discovering, evaluating, and altering indistinct cognitions to establish more reasonable views of themselves and their symptoms. Although cognitive-behavioral therapy is commonly employed in the treatment of depression and anxiety, it may be valuable in tackling other physical and psychological problems (Cuijpers, Cristea, Karyotaki, Reijnders, & Huibers, 2016). Cognitive-behavioral therapy is anchored in the notion that a person’s sentiments, thoughts, sensations, and actions are interrelated and that negative views may entrap people in vicious cycles. CBT assists people to tackle devastating problems in a positive way by subdividing them into smaller bits while showing them the best means of changing negative behavior to guarantee their wellbeing. I do not agree with an assertion that CBT enables patients to rectify their dysfunctional behavior and assists therapists in discovering information concerning clients in an effort to help them more effectively. For enhanced success, the patient and therapist have to collaborate, and efforts by one of them alone are insufficient (Cuijpers et al., 2016). The patient and therapist should jointly assess the problem and establish the most successful way of changing unhelpful deliberations and behaviors. After realizing what patients ought to change, therapists should request them to practice the changes in their daily lives and discuss the progress when patients come for the next session. This offers an extensive understanding of clients with respect to their interaction with others, the way symptoms occur, and how to address daily problems. Reference Cuijpers, P., Cristea, I. A., Karyotaki, E., Reijnders, M., & Huibers, M. J. (2016). How effective are cognitive behavior therapies for major depression and anxiety disorders? A meta‐analytic update of the evidence.
