Authors’ Broad Idea Rossman and Vessey (2008) propose an idea that aims at taking research to a completely new level. In this paper, they introduce an idea that will assist researchers in improving the relevance and reliability of their studies. As a result, the results of the studies will be more practical and applicable to real life situations. Within the field of Information Systems, practitioners will efficiently use ideas, models, and theories to defend their ideas or theses in studies that they will be conducting. Their idea will assist in the evaluation, control, and improvement of the rigor and relevance of research. This, therefore, will ensure that studies will be more detailed and valid. To achieve this, researchers need to incorporate the use of applicability checks in their studies. Due to their flexibility and easy application, this idea can be used together with the traditional methods of research (Rossman and Vessey, 2008). It can either be used at the begging of a study or towards the end. This approach works by analyzing three essential dimensions that are crucial to the researchers efforts to internalize IS results and solutions that can be used to solve the problem at hand (Rossman and Vessey, 2008). From experience, the main essence of research is how it addresses and answers its research questions. Due to this fact, Rossman idea aims at putting a lot of focus and emphasis on the object of interest in a research study. This will ensure that only relevant data is collected in the course of the study. This will increase the validity of the results of the study hence put more weight on the argument or idea that was being investigated in the study. Focal Questions of the Study The relevance of Information System research has been an issue that has raised a lot of controversy in the academic community. This is due to the dilemma that comes about choosing whether to put more emphasis on rigor or relevance while conducting a research study. These two factors are essential to a study as they play a critical role in the applicability and credibility of the findings of a research. A research is said to be relevant if it applies to a large number of stakeholders on a specific field. With regards to this statement, research in the field of information systems will be relevant if it can meet the needs and requirements of researchers, development organizations, pra
Modern day specialists in the area of education face numerous issues in their practice. The case study under consideration presents a number of effective ideas on being a successful teacher. In the following paper, some specific issues discussed in this case study will be examined in terms of their significance for the educational process. The given case study offers comprehensive dissuasion of significant educational issues on the basis of experience of Conmee Community School. Further eight of them will be addressed in terms of their correspondence to the material studied in class. At first, the case study mentions caring for all students equally as an important condition for success during the educational process. This requirement finds its grounds in numerous sources. Students are to be provided with equal conditions and care by their teachers no matter how different they might be from their peers in any relation including their origin, race, cultural background and so on. Ball (2004) talks about “the analytical possibilities opened up by the new sociology of education; the role of reflexivity”. The basic issues are related to the “legitimacy and authority of scholarly practice” (Ball 2004). Secondly, the case study emphasis that the families disadvantaged in socio-economic terms are faced with especial pressure, which makes it much harder for a child from such family to achieve good academic results. Generally, the key values a child’s academic achievement must be formed on include “the need for love and understanding, the desire for knowledge, the need to make meaning or for the satisfaction of intellectual curiosity, the need for security or for engagement with others, the need to avoid retaliation…” (Henry 2009). Thirdly, parental involvement is shown in the case study under consideration as one of the principal goals, which is to be achieved by the home-school community liaison teacher. Finally, “the investigation of factors, influencing whether parents perceive the presence of problems or the need for services may help explain the gap between service need and service use” (Garralda 2010). Fourthly, specific level of learning difficulty is significantly emphasized in the case study under consideration. This principle can find many reflections in the works studies in class. Among such publications is the book by Gardner. He is of the opinion that “much of the information probed for in intelligence tests reflects knowledge gained from living in a specific social and educational milieu” (Gardner 2011). Specific level of learning difficulty is to be regulated on the basis of the student’s previous experience. In fifth, engagement in collective and reflective practice is shown as an important goal for teachers. This idea expressed in the case study finds its numerous reflections in many publications studied in class, including the book by Bancroft and Machover. Bancroft & Machover (1990) argue that teachers are to combine their experience, in order to provide their relevant assistanc
The name of business is Travel Healthy Snacks. It will be situated at Nairobi City, Kenya along River Road Street. Its physical address is P.O.Box 24567-01000 GP, Nairobi, Kenya. Email address is [email protected] Transport industry is one of the fast-growing sectors in developing country as a result of globalization and increased urbanization. Very small portion of commuters do have at their disposal a variety of healthy food choices on what to consume while traveling. Rarely do commuters carry with them packed foods during their travel due to number of challenges such tight traveling schedule which do not allow them to have ample time to prepare suitable dish for traveling while for those who prepare such food is highly perishable. Consequently, they are left with few options such as buying readily available junks snacks which have continually posed nutrition and health problems. Owing to the fact that commuters constitute of different kind of persons who have special health and nutrition needs, most of readily available types of snacks have not been specifically made to address their unique needs. For this reason, Travel Healthy Snacks intends to process and sell healthy and nutritious snacks that are tailored to meet commuters’ unique needs in the context of raising nutrition challenges posed by change in lifestyle. This will be a new venture which has not been undertaken before in the region. The business will make nutritious snacks products such as fruits juice, ready-to-eat fruits salads, and whole grain cereal snacks. Such snacks will be low in saturated fats and with no harmful food additives that may pose threat to human health. However, these healthy and nutritious snacks will not be only for commuters but can be used in households as the best alternative for snacking foods while at home. Packaging will be of high standard that match with traveling context besides being of high aesthetic value. Basically, the uniqueness with business products is that they are healthy and nutritious besides having therapeutic effects to significant number of commuters who experience nausea and vomiting while traveling. There is market opportunity for the business due to numbers of reasons. First, food is one of the fast selling commodities. In the main bus stations both for short and long distance commuters from all walks of life are available everyday and they often buy snacks to eat either before they set off they journey or along their way. If they get the right kind of the snacks that caters their different health and nutrition needs at competitive prices they are more likely to go for the enterprise’s products because they will provide greatest value of their money as compared to other products already in the market. For the business to be able to pen
The basic tenet of virtue ethics lies in the argument that it is imperative not only to perform the right action but also to posses the suitable disposition, inspirations, and emotions in being good and aspiring to do good. The ethical moralists postulate that our ethical standards should not only be judged according to our actions but also according to our own emotions, character, intentions and moral habit. It is against this backdrop that Pojman, a social philosopher, came up with his moral assertion that individuals “should strive to form a world in which the virtuous are rewarded and the vicious punished in proportion to their relative deserts.” Although very many propositions have been formulated around the philosophy of virtue ethics and the laws of justice in the recent past, Pojman’s assertion that individuals should be rewarded or punished according to their relative deserts have raised a lot of heated arguments. The proposition’s appropriateness in solving contemporary issues is the object of this discussion. To properly evaluate the proposition and its appropriateness, it is imperative to understand what is really meant by such phrases as merit and desert. The term merit is used to denote any feature or characteristic that is used as a basis for dispensing either positive or negative attributions such as praise, prizes, censure and punishment. On the other hand, the notion of desert, though vaguely understood, is deeply ingrained in everyday morality. For purposes of this discussion, desert will be used to represent a condition or action that deserves a response – either positive or negative. For example, thieves deserve punishment for perpetuating acts of crime. Going back to the main argument, it is indeed true that Pojman’s proposition have triggered a lot of discussion towards ascertaining the authenticity and moral practicability of the argument. At best, the proposition has received an equal measure of support and criticism from individuals and systems such as the criminal justice system. According to this argument, individuals should receive rewards or punishment based on the exact measure of their actions. In this perspective, I do not agree with his proposition since it advocates for some humiliating and retributive actions that continues to have negative effects on the society. For instance, this ethical proposition validates the practice of execution and beheadings for murderers by making passionate appeals to the fundamental principle of retribution used in many criminal justice systems around the world. It is imperative to note that retributive theories functions by evaluating the nature of the offence and imposing some form of punishment depending on the evaluation. This proposition means that murderers will forever be condemned to the gallows, lethal injections, or electric chairs. While it is widely agreeable that imposing a death penalty to a murderer is a just punishment, individuals are not morally obligated to execute the wrongdoers. The second argument put against this proposition is based on the fact that it is almost im
Located in northern Europe, United Kingdom is made up of the islands of Great Britain (consisting of England, Scotland and Wales) and North Ireland (one-sixth of island of Ireland) plus many more small islands. “The total land mass of the UK is approximated to be 254,000 square kilometers.” (Hugh and Vince) Of all the islands England is the largest island with an area of 130,400 square kilometers covering more than half of UK’s total landmass. It has numerous large cities with five of the biggest cities found there. Scotland follows Britain with total area of 78,772 square kilometers made up of numerous islands such as Hebrides and Orkney, accounts for nearly one third of the total land. Wales covers 20,758 square kilometers while North Ireland covers 14,160 square kilometers being the smallest islands. North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea enclose UK at the center and lies northwest of France. The UK’s physical geography varies from one region to another. “England geography has a lowland terrain; North West has mountain terrain which includes the Cambrian Mountains found in Lake District and Limestone and Pennines hills in Peak District.” (Loeber) Scotland geography is characterized by the Highland Boundary Fault and a geological rock fracture. The geological rock ranges from Helens burgh to Stone haven while the fault line separates the highland to the North and lowland of south and east. Lowland areas are the home to most population and the home to Glasgow the capital city of Scotland. Although the topography of Wales is mountainous, North Wales is more mountainous than south and low lands of central Wales. The highest mountains, Snowdon is found in Snowdian. The geography of north Ireland is mostly hilly and comprise the Mourne Mountains (the highest peak) and Lough Neah which is the largest water body in UK at 388 square kilometers. The general geography of the UK is believed to have been formed climatic change especially glacial and tectonic movement forces both combined. United Kingdom has a varied and diverse geology. There are broad variety of landscapes in all over the UK. The Gneisses rocks are the oldest rocks in UK and are mostly found in North West Scotland with few traces of the rock in other places. The north west highland and Grampian highland in Scotland are formed by mixture of rocks believed to be remains of folded sedimentary rocks. Central England is made up of volcanic islands. Wales and Lake District are covered with large amount of volcanic lava and ash known as Borrowdale Volcanic seen inform of Helvellyn and Scafell Pike mountains. Other land features found in UK includes: Snowdon in Wales and Scafell Pike in England. Mountains in Scotland are found in the highland and include the Ben Nevis the British Isles highest point. Mountain ranges and hills include; Cheviot hill and Cairngorms in Scotland, Presils hills and Black mountains in Wales while Dartmoor, Exrnoor and Chilterns are found in England. The longest river in UK is river Severn that flows across Wales and England with approximate length of 354 kilometers. Thames is the second main river in England. River Tay an
Introduction Revenue cycle management (RCM) is a financial process used by healthcare institutions to facilitate tracking patient care events from when they register to the time they make payment for the rendered services. RCM utilizes medical billing software and integrates the clinical and business sides of healthcare. The process combines administrative data, including patients’ personal information and insurance providers, with the healthcare data and treatment they receive. While RCM has significant importance in an acute care environment and positively impacts healthcare organizations, it can hurt the latter’s operations if improperly implemented. Main body RCM plays a significant role in reducing the time between offering services and receiving payments. RCM is integrated with other information technology systems in healthcare facilities, such as electronic health records (EHR) and billing schemes (DelVecchio & Lee, 2017). As a result, healthcare providers in the acute care settings quickly access patients’ information from the EHR and enter the prescriptions and charges, which are reflected immediately on the billing systems. Patients would be required to the billing department, which is time-consuming because of possible queuing. The facilities electronically send the information regarding treatment provided to patients to relevant insurance companies for payment. RCM helps identify the cause of delay and underpayments, reduces facilities’ operational costs, and helps them evaluate value-based payment accuracy. According to Healthcare Financial Management Association (2018), RCM cuts operational costs by approximately 15 % because few healthcare providers are needed to execute the same amount of work. Delays and underpayment may be inevitable when errors occur during coding treatments and sending the information to insurance companies. RCM systems ensure the coding of all diagnoses and provide organizations with opportunities for correcting mistakes, alleviating the possibility of underpayments and reimbursement delays. Inaccuracies are bound to happen when hospitals have separate workflows and dissimilar billing systems for a single episode of care. However, RCM systems ensure that all departments access the same workflow, making it easier to reconcile incurred costs with payments. RCM system performs various administrative tasks in acute care settings. RCM reminds payers (insurance companies) and patients of existing balances, informs clients about upcoming appointments with doctors, and questions the insurers when claims are denied (Healthcare Financial Management Association, 2018). These tasks ensure that healthcare facilities have a consistent flow of revenues. RCM allows healthcare providers the enter information, such as patients’ names and type of treatment received, needed for claim processing without resubmission or revision of the latter. Thus, RCM significantly decreases the amount of denied claims reported by a healthcare facility. Other benefits of RCM in acute care settings include improved quality of treatments and efficient services (DelVecchio & Lee, 2017). RCM permits doctors and nurses to access patients’
Introduction Interviewing is a way of collecting information from a person or a group of people. The type of interview will depend on some factors like; the kind of information, the person to be interviewed and the urgency of the information required. In cases of law, and in the criminal justice system, interviewing the defendant or the person believed to have committed the offence is of great importance. It will not only give information about if he committed the offence but also about a plea of insanity to explain and excuse a crime. (Toufexis 2002). Main body In the case at hand, it is important to look at and protect the integrity of the mental evidence. The mental evidence is as important as the physical evidence and it can also be contaminated and corrupted. Forensic psychiatry can be applied in this case. It is the application of the principles of psychiatry to matters of law. The psychiatrist or psychologist is supposed to evaluate whether the accused is mentally competent to stand trial. He should also assess the state of mind of that person during the time he committed that offense. In any interview, there will be things like introduction, rapport building, guidelines for the interview, and a narrative description of the event. There will also be follow up questions and clarification. The step wise interview is appropriate in this case.. (Routine Psychiatric Assessment 2002). Apart from the above steps which are general for an interview, the steps in this method will usually begin with the most open, least leading, least suggestive form of questioning and then proceed to more suggestive form of questioning when necessary. Such an interview will determine whether the person was insane, whether he has a mental disease, whether he emotionally appreciates the wrongfulness of the actions and if he can be assisted to recover from such an act. (Toufexis 2002). It can always help to reveal the correct mental status. This is done by giving out open headed questions and not leading questions. One will be able to gather the true and right info
Introduction There are many literary genres, each of which inclines either to great joy or to deep sorrow. The tragedy describes the grief that came because of the decisions made by the main character. Various literary disputes filled the minds of people even in the heyday of multiple kinds of mythologies when all the accumulated ideas about the world were necessarily linked into a fundamentally indivisible philosophical system that, regardless of the environment in which it was woven, always had two poles in itself: man – woman; light-darkness; good – evil. The tragedy is created precisely by the theme of fatality, which comes from the main character’s decision and leads him to a significant fall or death. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast one of the main characters of literature – Oedipus and Hamlet, as well as to determine the qualities and skills of people which make them steadfast under challenging situations. Main body The most ambitious of all the problems of a person, including a tragic hero, remains the problem of his finiteness, or rather death, and even more precisely – the feeling of a foregone conclusion of everything. In the play of Sophocles, Oedipus, the king of Thebes, plays the role of a tragic hero struggling with an unsolvable, fatal problem. The idea expressed by Sophocles expresses the senselessness of fighting with one’s fate. That is, Oedipus predicted that he would kill his father and marry his mother. No matter how he tries to avoid it, in the end, he kills his father, marries the dowager queen – his mother, and realizing this, he puts out his eyes and leaves his kingdom, becoming a tramp. Shakespeare creates his tragic hero – Hamlet, who is also at war with the fate that took his father. In addition, Hamlet also fights with himself in an attempt to give answers to impossible questions. Hamlet’s dilemma is more profound and morally more sophisticated than that of Oedipus. It is the sum of all his mental tosses. Comparing the positions of Hamlet and Oedipus, it can be seen that they both came to a tragic end with terrible consequences of their own decisions. Probably, there may be such an opinion that fate led both heroes to this path. Gleiser claims that there is such a thing as free will, and it is defined as the ability of a people to make their own choice (Gleiser). That is, the situation of both heroes is quite complicated, Oedipus – by the will of fate, was destined to kill his father and marry his mother, and in Ha
