Introduction It is often the case that people associate memories as a collection of neurons and synapses working in conjunction with each other in order to record pertinent information on a daily basis yet few think of the way in which the concept of memory can be comparable to that of a library where information is stored, recorded and categorized based on its type and attributes. For example, have you ever thought of something which brought up a memory of something else which then subsequently brought on a whole host of other memories? Didn’t it feel oddly like the same experience you went through when you borrowed a book from the library where you went in, did a search through their book database then found the book you wanted? This particular experience can be classified as a type of retrieval mechanism which we all use on a daily yet it is surprisingly similar to the way in which people utilize their local library however in the case of memories it isn’t “you” per see that does the searching rather it is the “thought” that was created that can be considered the patron that does the searching within the library of your mind. It is based on this that it can be assumed that the various components and processes seen in a library today can actually be comparable to the processes that make up the storage and retrieval of memories within the human mind. Fiction and Non-Fiction and Other Categories of Separation – The Separation of Memory Categories within the Mind Within any library you’ll find the classic separation of fiction and non-fiction, it is an ubiquitous aspect of any library no matter the location, culture or size. Going even further, each section has its own individual set of groups such as the non-fiction section being subdivided even further into the sciences, recent events, history, philosophy, culture, etc. The reason such categories of separation exist is due to the fact that it makes finding exactly what you need that much easier. If books weren’t classified into individual sections and were instead placed depending on the order in which they were received what would result is a chaotic system of filing wherein hundreds, if not thousands of books, would be placed in whatever shelf or cabinet space is free making it next to impossible to be able to find anything within an appropriate span of time. The reason this particular facet of library operations was brought up is that similar to the way in which books are arranged based on their category within a library; memories also have a distinct level of separation between them. The most obvious of course is the separation between long term and short term memory which
When discussing effective healthcare practices, people usually highlight the significance of doctors and their ability to develop professional treatment programs. Millions of patients consider physicians to be the most essential agents in the process of care delivery. On the other hand, individuals should not forget that nurses’ work is valuable when it comes to tracking symptoms and medical histories, taking care of patients, and communicating with their relatives. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report is the document that indicates the role nurses play in the process of treatment and provides recommendations for the improvement of U.S. citizens’ health through the contributions of specialists. Therefore, the following essay will discuss the highlights of the 2010 IOM report and strategies for the suggestions’ implementation and provide a personal perspective on these recommendations. The 2010 IOM report aims at improving the healthcare system and patient outcomes while identifying nursing as a crucial element in attaining these objectives. As mentioned by Gorski et al. (2015), one of the major highlights of the document is the idea that since healthcare continually goes through serious advancements, nursing education has to be improved. Nurses have to be able to deliver quality care that matches the needs and preferences of people and is consistent with the developments in the medical sphere (Gorski et al., 2015). Another focal point is that nurses can take collective action to adapt to the emerging changes by following the recommendations of the report (Gorski et al., 2015). While implementing various strategies proposed by the report, they have a chance to work as a team and apply their leadership skills to different situations (Gorski et al., 2015). Thus, the 2010 IOM report highlights the importance of nurses and teaches them to work collaboratively. In order to improve the outcomes of treatment for the population and indicate the expectations for nursing, the document presents four key recommendations concerning the actions that should be undertaken. The suggestions for nurses include using their education to the full extent, achieving higher levels of training through an improved system, working collaboratively with physicians to redesign healthcare, and creating an advanced method of data collection (Kovner et al., 2018). The first two messages focus on proving that nursing specialists need to possess an exceptional amount of experience and learn to overcome all the possible obstacles that may prevent them from implementing this knowledge (Kovner et al., 2018). At the same time, the second two points highlight that nurses and doctors should engage in teamwork and collect data professionally to identify where healthcare needs immediate improvement (Kovner et al., 2018). In general, the discussed recommendati
Apple has made an enormous contribution to the development of the world of portable computers and has had a substantial impact on the change in digital technologies. Apple’s top management has a positive vision of the company’s organizational culture, which leads to global success and forces staff to always be ready for large-scale changes (Podolny & Hansen, 2020). Next, the three selected aspects of Apple’s organizational culture will be discussed. The company’s management pays considerable attention to the balance of work and personal life of employees, who should always be able to devote time to their families. The organization’s staff has access to full health insurance during holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving. Apple has an atmosphere of mutual understanding and goodwill, which significantly facilitates the work process, making it pleasant and fleeting (Podolny & Hansen, 2020). The company’s employees are constantly developing and improving their skills, as they often perform tasks that go beyond their regular duties. The organization is interested in improving the quality of the workflow and therefore provides all the necessary conditions. There is no denying the existence of a solid culture of mutual assistance and respect between Apple managers and employees. The corporation’s success would not exist without close cooperation between its links, as well as unconditional trust and respect (Podolny & Hansen, 2020). These principles are ethically correct and focused on the team and people, as they put in the first place not profit and benefit, but a respectful working atmosphere and teamwork. The most important aspect of managing employee behavior is the company’s interest in the career growth of people who work at Apple. The prospect of career growth makes the employee work harder and strive for new heights. For managers leading the team and making decisions, the most critical aspect is the respect and mutual und
The existence of labor unions has been an issue of many discussions about their role and the necessity of their maintenance. While there are many myths regarding the functions of the unions, the coverage of these issues in the media does not provide any proof of these myths. Thus, this paper analyses one of the cases related to the activity of labor unions, which is the provision of protects against the Kaiser Permanent, aimed at the protection of union members. The situation with Kaiser Permanent implies a significant role of a labor union in organizing the workers on strike. However, this case does not support a myth that unions enjoy strikes. First of all, the unions prefer negotiations as their leading method of managing the issues with employers. Nevertheless, in this situation, negotiations were not effective because the company did not admit that the presented information was true. The rumors were that 700 layoffs were expected in Southern California, which made the workers worried (“Labor union continues with scheduled protests,” 2018). Therefore, due to the support of the union, the employees of Kaiser Permanente were staging a series of protests throughout California. They believed that “health care provider is thriving financially, but still plans to outsource some jobs, and cut wages for some new hires” (Klivans, 2018, para. 6). Another myth that is ruined by the situation represented in the media is the one related to the fact that unions frequently make unreasonable demands and only collect money (“Want the straight goods of Unions?” 2008). In the case under consideration, the financial aspects of unions are not reflected. Instead of financial claims, the union workers were concerned about outsourcing pharmacy warehouses and, therefore, laying off 700 employees (“Labor union continues with scheduled protests,” 2018). In the described case, the demands of the union and workers on strike are justified and reasonable. Consequently, this myth is uncovered too. Finally, the case of Kaiser Permanente proves the necessity of the worker’s unions, thus denying the myth that such unions were necessary for the past and became useless at present (“Want the straight goods of Unions?” 2008). Nevertheless, labor unions can be more needed today than they used to be. Present-day corporations are huge and frequently focused on the result disregarding the needs of workers. Moreover, contemporary corporations are stronger, and a single person can hardly get to higher management in case of any problems. In this case, labor unions can be used as intermediaries between the employees and the leadership of the company to protect the interests of workers. On the whole
Introduction Family violence is a term that can be used to describe the various forms of violence that happen with a family set up. A family is a sociological unit which includes parents and children. The most common types of violence within the family are wife abuse and child abuse. Violence in this sense may include slaps, pushes, sexual abuse, battering, and use of abusive words (Gelles & Lancaster, 1987). Children in single parent families are at more risk of abuse more so sexual abuse than their counterparts in two parents’ families. It is assumed that children from single parents are at lower risks of sexual abuse because they lack male figures in their environment but this is not usually the case. In most cases of the single parents neglects their children and leave them at the mercy of the society. They get exposed to a large number of male figures who ends ups abusing them. Child abuse is an excessive violation of child right which may be physical, psychological or even emotional, that may have an immediate or a long term effect on the life of a child. It may happen in the family setting, day care centers, and schools or in the society generally. Though there is a common accepted agreement that some violence can be legitimized, under the name ‘necessary punishment’ with the aim of disciplining the child, the level of punishment cannot be scientifically quantified (Sherman 2006) . This paper examines from a broader perspective the recent forms of child violence as reported in the local and international media houses. Forms of Child Abuse   * Physical Parents, day care centers, house girls ,teachers and the society have for long been punishing children by inflicting pain, especially when the child has done what is believed to be wrong. This is done with the aim of ensuring that the child is disciplined and is meant as a legitimate punishment. However, the punishment is often excessive and thus an abuse. What is not excessive is subject to debate.   * Psychological A family and society at large is an element of peace and comfort, what we do, what we talk, the environment that we live in creates a picture in a child’s mind that affects the mental stability of the child. It should be noted that a child’s mind is constantly learning and the surrounding of the child have a far reaching effect. In incidences of rape, the child is psychologically affected in its life time especially if counseling support is not given effectively (Loseke, 2006).   * Emotional Children learn mainly through interaction with other children through playing their various social games. This is a very important exercise in a child’s li
Introduction The following article is concerned with applying the adaptive leadership in the issue of Aboriginal reconciliation and how it links to leadership by going through the 7 stages in Daglish book “Leadership, Understanding its Global Impact”, and how these steps are applied in light’s article. However it is important to first determine what leadership and Aboriginal reconciliation entails before examining its application ion the issue of Aboriginal reconciliation. Leadership is about influence i.e. leaders influence people to perform their duties effectively and enthusiastically. Leaders thus influences their followers to carry out their duties in a more cohesive and coherent manner so that they can achieve their objectives. Adaptive leadership on the other hand entails the leadership that is aimed at changing the environment i.e. the leadership that is concerned with addressing the active leadership rather than passive one so as to change according to the situations. Both individual as well as groups have the ability to adapt in accordance with the circumstances. Reconciliatiion is concerned with the act of enhancing unity as well as respect among people. The Aboriginal reconciliation in Australia was aimed at bringing respect between the Aboriginal and the non indigenous Australians.The reconciliation was aimed at bringing justice and equity to the people of Australia and adaptive leadership played a key role of ensuring its success. Leaders engage in adaptive leadership by influencing their followers to adapt in accordance with the changes that occurs. The Aboriginal reconciliation helps to explain that leadership is concerned with the act of moving people to process challenging issues on their own rather than waiting t be directed. Applying the adaptive leadership in the issue of Aboriginal reconciliation The first step with regards to adaptive leadership as explained in the Daglish book is problem identification. The two types of problems that exist are the technical problems and adaptive problems. Technical problems refer to those issues that are clearly defined and their solutions are determined in advance. The problems are thus easily solved by experts as well as the leaders. The problems are mostly concerned with such aspects as living standards as well as resource allocation. They can be solved by improving the living standards of people, ensuring that there is fair distribution of resources and also, the treasury should provide the solution by ensuring that people have disposable income so as to meet their needs. Adaptive problems on the other hand are the
The expansion of cities and the creation of new jobs is a successful urbanistic development strategy, but such decisions require careful preparation in terms of the health function of the municipality. In particular, situations in which a city’s population grows significantly in a short period, while the number of beds in local hospitals remains unchanged, must be avoided not to stimulate the development of epidemics and regional quarantines. Consequently, hospital capacity must then be expanded, which raises questions about funding, sources of funding, and long-term goals. This essay attempts to answer these questions through a case study of the administrative team’s decision to expand the local hospital by an additional 150 beds while the city’s population grows. It is clear that one of the administrative team’s first questions is to determine the type of funding that should be resorted to for the purposes of the hospital organization. The primary difference between the two types of financing, debt and equity financing, is determined by the way the company takes money from. In debt financing, for example, the hospital obtains funds by borrowing money that will need to be paid back over time. In contrast, equity financing is provided by selling a portion of the company’s equity to private investors, who, in turn, receive a stake in the company (Maverick, 2021). It is clear that in this case, the company loses part of its business by selling it to an outside entrepreneur, which creates a burden in terms of making critical decisions. Thus, it is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of both types of financing in order not to make a critical mistake. Based on the above, debt financing is more relevant for a municipal hospital because budget capital is extremely sensitive to third-party financing. The hospital is an important strategic facility for the city, which means losing even partial control over key decisions if part of the management is transferred to an outside investor would be the wrong decision. In addition, a 150-bed expansion and additional expansion of acute care and intensive care would ultimately require a specif
Let us start by saying that during several recent decades television has been a scapegoat of our society. The common opinion is that TV is so harmful that it may be considered the root of all evil because it is one of the main causes of poor eye-sight, fatness, and even an increase of violence and crime in society. Certainly, all these accusations are not groundless, but still, it should be mentioned that television also makes a positive impact on people, though it is greatly underestimated today. Besides, with the appearance of more developed technologies, like the Internet, the advantages and benefits provided by television are also underestimated and this is, certainly, unjust. In the first place, it may seem unbelievable, but television may be used to save people’s lives. As proof of this statement TV show “America M

The various issues that BSG faces will be revealed and solutions to the issues suggested. Culture Culture plays a crucial role in our lives and it is the basis on which civilizations are built. Hofstede (1980, p.21) defines culture as “the collective programming of the human mind that distinguishes the members of one human group from those of another”. Willcoxson and Millet (2000) propose that culture serves to delineate different groupings of people based on shared values. What is organisational culture While the importance of organizational culture is acknowledged by all, there is a lack of a universal definition of organizational culture. Schein (2010, p.18) views culture as “a pattern of shared basic assumptions learned by a group as it solved its problems o
I believe that Netflix company has a great understanding of its target market. Netflix is well-known for its streaming service that targets customers all around the world. Brand development and customer relationship management are the well-developed strategies used by the company to promote its service. It applies innovative technologies and drives data to analyze its audience. Moreover, by considering customers’ needs, streaming services can be accessed via phones, TVs, and other devices. A combination of different tools, such as web forms, email marketing, social media engagement, and landing pages, allows the company to attract new customers on a daily basis (Haughey, 2021). Furthermore, films made by the brand demonstrate social trends by including various social groups, such as LBGTQ+, disabled people, and minority representation. Such a customer-oriented approach makes Netflix one of the most successful companies. However, there are two aspects, particularly more content for older people and notifications, that can be improved. Netflix targets females and males aged between 17 to 60, but I cannot find content for my grandparents on the platform. The service will attract more customers and increase its profit if older people can watch it too. Another aspect is its notifications about new episodes or new shows that are annoying and make some customers irritated. Due to it, I even deleted the Netflix app from my phone. As such, asking customers about being notified or not would be a great improvement. As for my business idea, which is a full-service wedding coordinator, my target market is millennial couples, mainly aged between 21 to 45. The target market is chosen because mostly at this range people get married and plan their wedding. Similarly, as it was written in the post, Apple does on its target analysis, focusing on such range allows analyzing preferences of millennials and examining recent trends. I liked the post about Apple company where multi-segment positioning was mentioned. I also would like to im
