Caring Angel Hospital is a health care facility in need of significant improvements to its operations because the organization currently suffers from annual financial losses and reductions in the number of patients. After examining the situation in Caring Angel Hospital for three months, it is possible to develop a plan of action to enhance the progress of the organization. The purpose of this report is to propose specific actions that can be taken to achieve the goals set by Caring Angel Hospital: to increase the organization’s value, to improve the quality of care and employee morale, to develop a more efficient organization and a more effective team, and to create a competitive advantage. The recommendations will be proposed to reflect strategies designed to increase market share and value with a focus on the quality of provided services. Major Steps to Take by Caring Angel Hospital Caring Angel Hospital has faced many problems associated with the quality of care, weaknesses in employee morale, a lack of effective organizational structure, and the need to build a more effective team. Based on these serious concerns, it is possible to determine primary goals for the professionals of Caring Angel Hospital to achieve. It is important to develop a clear plan of action to reach each of the critical goals. To improve the quality of care, it is necessary to review the working schedules of the nurses as well as the standards according to which they perform their duties (Djukic, Kovner, Brewer, Fatehi, & Cline, 2013). Nurses should be informed regarding the importance of smiling while communicating with patients. Also, it is necessary to improve the appointment scheduling and notification system to avoid situations in which patients show up on dates that were not scheduled for consultations. Furthermore, much attention should be paid to improving the environment and the waiting area of Caring Angel Hospital. It is also of critical importance to add value to the organization. The major problem is in the fact that Caring Angel Hospital does not provide specialized services, which means that patients have to go to other hospitals to receive the required care. Therefore, it is important to organize the work of specialized departments in the hospital and recruit high-quality specialists to attract more patients (Baker, Bundorf, & Kessler, 2014). The next goal is to improve employees’ morale. The most important steps in this area are to develop a training program to share the organization’s values and visions and to improve the quality of interactions between employees and clients (Price, Elliott, Zaslavsky, Hays, & Lehrman, 2014). The problem is that, currently, most employees are not in positive moods wh
Introduction The history of Northern Ireland is littered with a mixture of religion and politics. Indeed in this republic, religious differences have been a major issue that made government work. In this paper, I will discuss Moloney’s views on the Irish Republican Army, Bruce’s views on Ian Paisley the leader of Democratic Unionist Party, and finally compare Moloney’s views on IRA with Bruce’s view on Ian Paisley. Discussion Moloney chronicles in detail the over-imagination of the military mind as a cause of the long and pointless campaign that was murderous. A campaign that he feels in so far as the desired goals were concerned bore little relations to the means to achieve it. For instance, when a ceasefire of 1974-75 was made the Irish Republican Army expected confidently that it would have led to an announcement of withdrawal by the British. The Irish Republican Army was furious when this did not happen; depicted when a spokesman responded stating that IRA would dialogue with British again only when the British government would come to IRA to seek for assistance to secure their immediate withdrawal from Ireland. Activists within Irish Republican Army ranks seriously compared their struggle to that of Cuba’s insurgent campaign waged by Fidel Castro. They also had a widespread believe that they would be able to effectively take an offensive against the British army with additional weaponry from Libya. The Irish Republican Army also discussed carrying out “a night of long knives against the loyalists paramilitary” (Moloney, 141). According to Moloney, these acts by the Irish Republican Army were interpretative leaps and transformative acts of different dimensions compared to political maneuvers of Unionists or nationalist’s politicians. Moloney consistently highlights the sought of military actions which inspired Irish Republican army fantasies. The type of actions the IRA was incapable of mounting and at the same time actually unwilling to conduct. If they could have contemplated those actions, it would have meant taking serious casualties and there was no evidence that this was ever contemplated. The loss of eight IRA men in Loughgall on May 1987 compounded this theory as IRA went into deep shock. One middle ranking commander admitted to Moloney that IRA was incapable of conducting a military campaign and that it would have been a disaster if it had tried (Moloney, 327). Bruce examines the involvement of Ian Paisley, the evang

Coming to the U.S. market, Einride pioneers a remote trucking program, within which drivers may control several trucks at a time due to remote control instruments. Initially, the program will be launched only in some geofenced areas; however, the company hopes to expand the technology to embrace all kinds of roads. This source highlights new inventions in the logistics field and may benefit researchers interested in new technologies. The advantage of this article is that it provides up-to-date information on solutions to a shortage of truck drivers and gives an unbiased view on how this solution may make logistic chains more cost-effective. Moreover, the authors describe the current limitations of the new technology and show how they can be surmounted. Richard E. C. (2021). Electric vehicles are ready to rule the road. Association For Supply Chain Management. SCM Now – Official Magazine of ASCM. Web. The article describes the expected shift from petrol cars to electric ones. The author states that major car manufacturers are replacing internal combustion engines with electric ones to make their production more eco-friendly. The author identifies drivers for this shift, among which are reducing carbon emissions and cost since electric cars have fewer parts and are cheaper to produce. This source is beneficial for understanding global trends in the automobile industry. It may be helpful for logistic companies that plan to acquire new cars to see that electric vehicles are less costly and more eco-friendly to make a choice in their favor. Moreover, getting to know how the automobile industry will change in several years makes it easier to make accurate forecasts in the logistics sphere.
Introduction Sleep being an essential component of life oscillates through two main categories viz. the rapid eye movement (REM) and the non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep stages. These two major sleep stages are further divided into five stages through which a person drifts in the course of one night. The study of sleep largely depends on the electrical activities of the brain usually determined by measuring the electrical changes in the brain by using electroencephalograms (EEGS). Furthermore, voltage generated by eye rotation in their sockets and electrical activities of the muscles all help in the study of the cycles of sleep in the course of one night. Sleep cycles in a health adult person The recording of brain waves, eye movements, and the muscle tension has led to the categorization of sleep stages into five stages. The non rapid eye movement generates four of the stages while the rapid eye movement constitutes the fifth stage. According to Ricker a psychologist, “when we first fall to sleep, we are in stage 1, from there we progress through stages 2, 3, and 4, and then, after about an hour enter a stage of rapid eye movement sleep” (2010, p.32). Each of these stages experience specific behavioural and mental activities as well as electrical brain changes. In stage 1 of sleep, commonly known as the light sleep, a person is in transition between wake state and sleep state. The brain at this stage is characterised by high influx of the beta waves. In addition, at this stage, a person awakes out of mere distraction such as simple noise. Study shows that when one awakes out of light sleep stage, often s/he does not know that s/he was actually asleep. Ricker also observes that, “the light sleep stage episode lasts for about five minutes and makes approximately 2 to 5% of the total sleep in a night” (2010, p 34). Stage 1 then heralds stage two in the five-stage sequence. Stage 2 of sleep, also known as the moderately light sleep stage as studied by Maquet , Stickgold and Smith, is characterized by and bears the characteristics of “rapid electrical activities of the brain and large fluctuation of voltage known as the sleep spindles and k-complexes respectively” (2003, p.86). These electrical activities and changing voltage creates high peaks and deep valleys in the brain waves as created in the electroencephalogram, which shows less active cerebral cortex, and this reduces further as one gets deeper into sleep. The episode of the moderate light sleep lasts for about 10 to 25 minutes and account for relatively 45 to 55% of the total sleep in one night of a health adult person. Stages 3 and 4 are closely connected but they are distinct with stage 3 acting as a transitional stage lasting for
Drag queens are modern celebrities, who appear on magazine covers, launch their successful businesses and star in hit shows. The sheer scope of drag representation demonstrates that the art form enjoys its most popular period. RuPaul Charles, for instance, became one of the 100 most influential people in the world, according to the 2017 Times list, while Shangela appeared in the Oscar-nominated film A Star Is Born . To gain an in-depth understanding of drag, it is crucial to examine this cultural phenomenon’s historical background. Surprisingly, cross-dressing appeared out of necessity since the first drag performers were male actors, who were impersonating females in plays (BBC, 2020). Theatre had religious origins, which explained why plays tended to include only men – women were simply not allowed to be involved in the church (BBC, 2020). Even though theater started to become more secular, the misogynistic traditions of religious plays dictated gender distribution in the cast. Ryan Roschke (2019) focuses on two main points of drag’s origin: ancient Native American and Egyptian ceremonies as well as Japanese theatre. Japanese theatrical traditions of Noh and kabuki implied female impersonations because it was inappropriate for women to present themselves on full display during drama performances. Cross-dressing has been integral in vaudeville, burlesque, and other performative art styles, according to Sam Sanders (2019). However, the turning point for drag was the club culture of New York City in the 1980s (Sanders, 2019). As of now, being a drag queen is much more than acting. It implies making a statement and becoming an activist for all of those who live in fear of being shamed for who they truly are. In conclusion, drag has been a part of the s
Introduction Negative moral influences such as temptation or desire to cheat, steal or lie may arise either because of environmental influences or circumstances. The environmental influence may be the society one lives in or the social and professional acquaintance. The circumstances may arise due to the environmental influence or by one’s choice of actions. Environmental Influence A social being has to interact with different type of people from all walks of life. These people who have different upbringing and priorities in life react to situations in different manner. It is not necessary that what one considers appropriate is approved or accepted by another individual. The religion, culture and civil laws are different for sections of the society. Therefore what is condemned in one society may be approved and accepted in another society. While polygamy, remarriage, extramarital relationship and flirtation may be considered normal social behavior by religion or culture, in the modern society the federal laws are defined for a dignified society. The greatest protection against what one considers as a negative moral influence is:   * If the federal laws do not allow certain actions then it is so for the benefit of an individual and the society. Therefore these actions are prohibited. If cheating, stealing and lying are punishable then don’t do it.   * If your parents, teachers and elders have told you that certain behavior is wrong then you must not indulge in it.   * If your religion considers an act as a sin then don’t commit it.   * There may be circumstances when the environmental influence is strong but an act is against one’s own viewpoint then one must consider all pros and cons. What shall be the consequences of the act, the social, physical and financial factors?   * It is also important to consider the impact of one’s actions on the other person and the society.   * Advice of the most trusted family and friends and guidance from the faith are crucial when negative influence is strong enough to alter one’s viewpoint. Contemplation about one’s own goals and priorities and the impact of the environmental influence is necessary. Circumstances An individual has to participate in the social and professional activities of the society one lives in to earn livelihood. This participation involves day-to-day activities and long-term goals set by/for the individual. The negative influences are the situations that arise as a blockade in pre-defined course of action or to distract one’s attention. The moral impact of these circumstances can either annihilate or boot self-esteem. Foresight about the result of action can help choose the course of action in these circumstances. If there are circumstances that inhibit seeking personal advice then assistance and solution to proble
Introduction When reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein one notices the gender bias of the time a bit less, because the female characters in the novel, though traditional Victorian ladies, were strong and capable. In fact, one major plot point revolves around the idea that Frankenstein cannot create a female, nor does he dare even try. The female is the key to reproduction, and he cannot, in good conscience unleash a pair of such monsters like the one he created on the world, just in case they might reproduce. Many reviewers discuss the female characters of the story, but seem to pass over this small detail. There is even debate that comes back every now and then that Mary Shelly could not have written this complex story at the tender age of eighteen, and that her husband, Percy Shelly, must have done it. Main text However, according to O’Grady and Dobrovolsky (1992), there are linguistic devices that female writers use which can be used to identify the gender of the writer with a reasonable expectation of validity. They discuss gender-variable differentiation, citing more use of closely defined and named color, a higher incidence of “politeness formulas”, such as “would you” and “please” etc. and a higher incidence of verbal hedges, like “perhaps” and “maybe.” This characterizes the writing of Frankenstein, though it could be attributed to the more Victorian style of the time. However, it is widely agreed by now that this novel was, indeed, the work of the very precocious Mary. It is widely understood that Mary Shelley wrote for the female public, even though she originally wrote the novel on a wager among friends. “She fitted character and plot to the tastes of the public, especially the feminine public. For this very reason her books mirror the conventions of the times.” (Nitchie xiii) In the novel, even nature was female, and certainly not weak. (Renfroe, Alicia 2008) Mary Wollstonecraft, as her daughter well knew, was killed by puerperal fever, contracted when she was unable to expel the placenta after Mary Shelley’s birth in 1797. (Hoeveler 46) So the ladies in her fiction were strong, in spite of the restraints put upon them by society. Shelley, herself, was an anomaly, since she wrote the book at eighteen. This is still argued among critics, as some believe she would not have been able to write this at eighteen. Shelley skirted the idea of incest at first with Elizabeth, who was raised as Victor’s sister, though only a distant cousin. Elizabeth Lavenza was his cousin in the 1818 edition, his adopted sister in the 1831 edition. She writes to her recalcitrant fiance/cousin/brother Victor to release him, if he wishes, from fulfilling their engagement; she notes, “as brother and sister often entertain a lively affection towards each other, without desiring a more intimate union, may not such also be our case?”(52) (Shaffer 67) Elizabeth is a strong character, and mostly responsible for Victor following his dream of discovering a new species. The story of Frankenstein began one evening in
Introduction Differentiated instruction entails giving students unlike avenues to gain content, develop, build, find the meaning of ideas, and construct teaching stuff to ensure that every student in a classroom learns efficiently, irrespective of differences in capability (Ellis, Gable, Greg, & Rock, 2008, pp. 31-37). Differentiated instruction is the practice of making sure that the things that students learn coupled with how they learn and express what they have learnt is an equal to the readiness status, concentrations, and desired manner of learning of the students. Convictions concerning divergences amid students, the way they learn, studying fondness, and personal concerns bring about differentiation. Research points that the sentimental or social hardships that learners experience fades away when their learning climates are conformed to their degree and speed of learning. In a school worksite, differentiation can as well comprise the way students demonstrate that they have comprehensive knowledge of an idea. This can be via a function-play, research papers, illustrations, and placards just to mention but a few. Historically, release of instruction frequently pursued a ‘one-size-fits-all’ curriculum. The fundamental notion of differentiation is discovering how learners learn or assist in their learning to satisfy their particular requirements so that they are eventually victorious in their learning as well as keeping hold of information (Anderson, 2007, pp. 49-51). This research paper discusses the required professional advancements with interest to the goals, assessments, policies, and execution of a proficient development programs to address differentiated instruction at a school worksite while incorporating leadership ideologies, selection of differentiated instruction for perfection, and key players engaged in this worksite. The key players comprise teachers, parent groups, school staff, teacher heads, and students. This paper as well explains how these factors are anchored in investigation and excellent performance. Teachers, parents, school staff, and teacher leaders working together produce an excellent learning practice for students Responding to the requirements of unlike students A key intention of differentiated instruction is to acquire full benefits of each learner’s capability to learn. Additionally, differentiating could be executed in a diversity of methods. If teachers are ready to implement differentiated instructions in classrooms, they select a more efficient performance that responds to the requirements of different students. Differentiation is neither merely an instructional policy nor a technique for teaching; on the contrary, it is a new manner of thinking concerning education and learning. Differentiating instruct
Introduction Business performance improvement is a core goal of organizations. They develop core capabilities that drive a sustained transformation to achieve the set strategic objectives. Further, high-performance firms adopt policies for change management and adaptation to remain competitive in an unpredictable business environment (Heavin and Power 38). One capability that impact organizational performance is information technology (IT). Significant competitive gains are linked to superior IT resources that support digital business (Heavin and Power 39). Strategic integration of IT into organizational processes is seen as a way to promote greater digitization and transform a firm. This paper explores the digital transformation phenomenon, related challenges facing organizations, examples of successful and failed attempts, types, and associated risks. From the analysis, recommendations for creating a digital footprint in the industry are included. About Digital Transformation IT-driven transformation encompasses the competitive capabilities drawn from information technology. According to Nadeem et al., the transformational potential of IT is seen in business processes, relations, consumer experience, clients, and disruption (5). Thus, a fundamental characteristic of digital transformation is the ability to change traditional models or confer new capabilities. The technologies should alter firm operations, support expansion to different markets or customers, and yield competitive gains. Conceptually, digital transformation encompasses four constructs: reframing, restructuring, revitalizing, and renewal (Nadeem et al. 7). Transformational IT must enable a firm to reinvent its image and redesign its internal processes for enhanced flexibility. Revitalizing implies value-chain realignment with market needs, while renewal entails skill improvement and redefining business scope. Digital transformation (DT), as a concept, comprises a personal and business technology dimensions. It includes transformational IT tools such as social media, cell phones, data analytics, and cloud computing (Andersson et al. 41). These IT solutions are shaping business models and changing the way businesses operate. Thus, DT can be defined as the integration of IT and into company processes to improve performance. More specifically, the phenomenon encompasses technologies impacting the firm in three ways: “externally, internally, and holistically” (Andersson et al. 47). The external dimension focuses on improving the consumer experience, while the internal component centers on streamlining business operations, structures, and corporate governance. A holistic impact implies new business models and a redesign of the entire organization. Thus, DT has two goals: improving organizational performance and expanding the reach of entities. DT describes transformations that are founded on information technologies. Internally, DT can be viewed as the movement of the entire organiza
