Introduction In the professional aspect of life, it is always good to follow one’s heart while choosing among a variety of options. For instance, the career choice that one makes is always bound to affect the rest of their lives. I have always dreamt of being a corporate manager and thus I am decided to pursue an MBA that would help me achieve my dreams. The Jungian personality self-assessment is very instrumental in making people choose the careers that they are best suited for. This paper discusses how the Jungian personality self-assessment has helped me in choosing my career. Main Body Pursuing an MBA has been my personal goal since undergraduate and will help in my career progression as a financial manager in the corporate world. This will also increase my chances of securing a good job with good pay as most jobs for managerial positions have attractive salary packages. I believe that I will be a very successful student in pursuing my MBA because my Jungian personality is that I am always time conscious and that I am able to compete with my peers. Another reason why I am sure I will succeed in studying for an MBA is the fact that I exhibit type A personality. This also makes me an appropriate candidate for the positions I will be eyeing after completing my MBA. This is because with type A personality, I am business-minded and highly aggressive. My inability to relax when I have work to be done also makes me an appropriate candidate for managerial positions and thus studying for the MBA will be very helpful. With type A personality, I exhibit a controlling personality that makes me want to take responsibility for organizing for success. According to my Jungian self-assessment, the characteristics I possess as a type-A personality, along with the many others I possess are just some of the key ingredients to the recipe for an excellent and successful business manager. These characteristics will propel me to become a successful business manager able to head a large corporation using my skills to benefit the organization in growth as well as increasing profitability. According to studies MBA has emerged as the most sought-after graduate degree program. This is so because an MBA is the prerequisite course for high paying managerial jobs in the corporate world and also because career progression in MBA-related jobs is easy (Camera, 2006, p. 5). An MBA will allow me to increase my business knowledge, add to my current expertise, and enhance my management skills. Throughout the MBA program, students learn a variety of management skills, develop leadership abilities, and form alliances with other people. These skills are very important in managing people and negotiating business deals and agreements. A variety of other skills are also acquired in the course of the MBA that help the student in both their personal and professional lives. In gaining all of these necessary skills, my credentials will strengthen. This is one of the main reasons why I decided to pursue my MBA. Every good thing comes with challenges. Similarly, obtaining an MBA may prove to be very costly but the good thing is that the MBA is worth it because it brings unequal
In the present environment of the 21 st century, technological progress is on an increase. Thus, it permeates most spheres of human activity, introducing advanced solutions to various issues. With the use of technology and digitalization, communication also becomes easier. Computers and the Internet connection have become available to a considerable portion of the population, which equally serves as a facilitator of the new solution implementation. These ideas are actively utilized within the healthcare system, as well. Enhanced remote communication and digital support to treatment have instigated the development of telehealth with the use of mobile systems. These concepts are indispensable for an extended reach of the medical services, as they allow practitioners to encompass their communities to a higher degree. Furthermore, they optimize the efficiency of the system, as nurses and doctors can provide more services with a decreased stress load. Modern technology can become a particularly strong contributor to the health of the younger generations, namely in the field of pediatrics. In fact, pediatric asthma patients exhibit a strong need for advanced treatment options on all levels. This paper focuses on the potential of a spacer inhaler supported by the advanced technological solutions for pediatric asthma patients. The target demographics in question include adolescents aged between 11 and 17. This category does not imply any division by gender or ethnicity, as its concepts are applied universally within the age group. From the socioeconomic perspective, the range is equally broad, comprising all households with a sufficient income to provide adolescents with modern gadgets, namely smartphones. According to Hale and Viner (2018), adolescence is a crucial period in the life of a person, which possesses multiple determinants of health. At this stage, pediatric patients form their understanding of health, acquiring the key practices of promoting and preserving it. However, the knowledge and interventions are to be delivered in a convenient, age-appropriate form. Following their inner desire to be in line with their peers, teenagers often rebel against certain practice that diverge from this paradigm (Edelman & Kudzma, 2018). Asthma is one of the issues threatening the health of an adolescent, being diagnosed in 8.6% of this population in the United States (Averell et al., 2021). Thus, this condition requires effective, age-specific interventions on a provider level. In order to illustrate the challenges and opportunities emerging in this situation, a case study is proposed. A thirteen-year-old Caucasian teenager named Dennis has been diagnosed with asthma, following several instances of suffocation. The family is neither rich nor in need, as the household’s income corresponds to the average figures in the United States. Dennis attends a public school and has no problems with socialization. Following the onse
Introduction EOL care needs are complex and a significant stressor to ill-prepared student nurses. Inadequate educational preparation, professional mentorship, and practicum exposure are significant barriers to optimal EOL practice. A deficit in current curricula means that most nurses entering the service lack core competencies in hospice care (Institute of Medicines, 2015). The purpose of the practicum project is to teach student nurses an EOL course to address this educational gap and contribute to optimal EOL outcomes. Explanation of How the Gap was Addressed The proposed EOL course addresses the educational gap through its two components: didactic training and experiential learning. In-class activities, such as lectures, simulations, case studies, and class discussions will help build competencies in pain and symptom management, communication, emotional balance, and support during grief (Jackson & Motley, 2014; Lippe & Carter, 2015; ). The experiential learning will involve hospice visits. A student will spend a cumulative 10 hours caring for a dying patient, which will improve individual self-efficacy, self-confidence, emotional awareness, and critical thinking (Ranse, Ranse, & Pelkowitz, 2018; Wittenberg, Ragan, Ferrell, & Virani, 2016). It will also lead to patient-centered care. Overview of Steps The course will be offered at a hospital-based nursing school. The first implementation step is obtaining the necessary IRB approvals from Hennepin Technical College and the Methodist Hospital. The second activity will entail recruiting participants. Information fliers inviting student nurses to enroll in the course will be posted on the notice board. Participants will subsequently sign an informed consent and register for the module. Those selected to participate will be English-speaking undergraduate students with no prior EOL experience. A pre-course survey will be conducted to determine baseline EOL knowledge before course delivery and evaluation. Lesson Topic & Learning Objectives The lesson topic is end-life-care communication, which aims to reinforce effective interaction skills required for optimal EOL care. Participants will be taught a communication protocol for delivering sad news and discussing therapeutic options with the patient/family through didactic and practicum experiences. The learning objectives are student demonstration of effective communication in the two areas, sensitivity to cultural differences, empathy, and active listening. Teaching/Instructional Strategies & Required Materials Three teach
Executive Summary Some diseases disable patients rendering them immobile. Furthermore, there are some illnesses that cause long-term commas that require patients to stay in bed for months or even for years. The period of immobility reduces blood flow and exerts pressure on certain parts of the body. According to 2004 statistics by Park-Lee (2009), 11% of all residents in nursing homes had developed pressure ulcers. Pressure sores particularly can become a significant medical problem when nosocomial infections are placed into consideration. The development of pressure sources within the geriatric population, terminally ill patients, and disabled persons pose a serious concern for the health care facility. The major objective for most hospitals and related health care facilities is to ensure that a patient is comfortable and free of pain during the period of recovery or before death. Furthermore, patients are more susceptible to further infections than the rest of the population. The risk factors associated with the development of pressure sores are far-reaching. In addition, the development of pressure sores may signify neglect, which is not a very good observation in any health or related institution. These aspects put pressure on the caregivers, hospitals, and the health care system. This is because apart from dealing with a particular illness, they are required to invent measures to prevent the development of pressure ulcers. Introduction Pressure ulcers occur when the skin or tissues below the skin undergo necrosis due to pressure applied on the skin and the tissue. The tissues get damaged due to a lack of enough blood supply because of the pressure. (NHS 2008). It, therefore, means that pressure sores occur in particular areas where the tissue has been forced between a hard surface and a bone causing the cells of the tissue to die. The cells die due to insufficient blood and nutrient supply and mechanical stress. This is the situation that occurs for patients or persons who are forced to stay immobile for a long period. (Mayo Clinic Staff 2010). Apart from the risk factors and apparent discomfort pressure sores cause, the National Health Service also spends a significant amount of money in preventing and treating the pressure sores (Bilhart 2006). According to a study conducted in the UK by Bennet (2004), it is estimated that the amount of money spent by health care towards the treatment of pressure ulcers between 1999 and 2000 was around £1.4 to 2.1 billion. This amount is comparable to the amount of money spent by health care towards the treatment of mental disorders. Therefore it is only obvious that such an area would provoke extensive medical research aimed at understanding the problem and coming up with curative and preventive measures. (Williams 2009). Understanding the medical aspects surrounding the causes and development of pressure sores is significant. This is because it may lead to the discovery of proper curative and preventive measures that will save the National Health Service, a significant amount of revenue that will prevent the development of risk factors associated with the s
Issues The three major issues presented by the DIA case were:   * Financial – reduce DIA’s bond debt ($5.3 billion).   * Strategic – Attract passenger and cargo traffic as a means to achieve 100% fixed assets utilization.   * Technology – Correct malfunctioning ABS (automated baggage system). Use of technology in cost control. I will be taking a much more in-depth look at each of these issues in section four – alternatives, in terms of the development of a system. I will also go into greater detail in section three, problems and opportunities, where I have focused most of this case study analysis. Environmental Analysis The event that leads to the need for a new airport in Denver was simply – Denver had outgrown SIA (Stapleton International Airport). SIA was established in 1929; although periodic expansion over the years seemed to satisfy air traffic demands, by the 1970s SIA was one of the ten largest airports in the world and was not capable of handling its current or future projected air traffic. An option to expand SIA onto U.S. Army arsenal property was pursued – the property was highly contaminated, and clean-up costs were estimated at $6 billion in 1982 – proving this to be an unfeasible option for the city of Denver. The other option, and the eventual result, was to construct a new airport. With the local endorsement and $500 million in federal funding, the construction of DIA would begin on September 28, 1989. Due to the delays with the automated baggage system, DIA did not open until February 28, 1995 – sixteen months later than the scheduled date. The environmental analysis of this case presented a very good opportunity to demonstrate the effects that technology has on society. Technology for the most part is designed to make our lives easier. But, as can be seen in the case of the ABS – design needs to constantly assess – and changed if the analysis indicates change is needed. While technology does indeed offer long-term benefits – something quite contrary can be claimed when technology doesn’t work, as in the case of the ABS – hardship was the result of malfunctioning technology in this instance. Problems and Opportunities Some of the major problems that the Denver International Airport case presented could potentially have been avoided and detected through the various levels of analysis performed by implementing an SDLC (systems development life cycle)methodology, in originally designing Denver International Airport s information systems. Along the same vein of logic that, “with every end, there’s a new beginning” – I would like to state “with every problem there’s a new opportunity”. This section is outlined in the context of presenting some of the specific opportunities that the problems that were analyzed in this case study created. Problem Sixteen-month delay in the opening; this rather significant delay was due in most part to Denver International Airport malfunctioning automated baggage system. The financial ramifications of the delay were quite significant, as the Denver International Airport bond rating dropped several levels. Opportunity When creating Denver International Airport
Technology has helped transform the world positively. According to Ginés (2010), there has been a consistent technological advancement in various sectors and this has affected the way things are done. The need to make work easier has driven man to become more innovative in coming up with technological advancements that can help transform way of life. Communication has been made easier, thanks to technological improvement. It is now possible for an individual in Paris France to chat with another individual in New York City in real time. This can be made possible using phones or the social media. This means that people can easily communicate with each other without the need to meet physically. Transport has also been enhanced with the advancement of technology. There has been a consistent development of modern transport machines in the form of planes, cars, ships and bikes. This has redefined the movement of people on earth. In large companies, most of the physical works are currently done using large machines. The machines are faster, more accurate, lesser fatigued, and can standardize production better than human beings. This means that in such plants, the work of human being is simply to control the machines. In the firm, it is the machine responsible for most of the physical activities that were previously done by human being. As Bereano (2009) puts it, there is no sector that is currently running without the direct support of the machines. This has created a perception that people have become overly dependent on technology. The research seeks to investigate this perception in order to determine its truthfulness. It is true that the world has become under intense pressure to embrace speed, perfection and efficiency in operations. The need for speed has been necessitated by the pressure firms are under when it comes to producing new products in the market. There are various firms in the market that are always waiting to mimic innovative products of other firms. This has forced innovative firms to have high speeds when it comes to delivering their products in the market in order to get maximum benefit by the time other firms will introduce their products in the market. Speed is also important because of the importance of time as another factor of production. When a product is delivered in the market within a short time, it is possible to price it at a lesser cost. In social life, speed is important, especially movement from one place to another, in meal preparation, in preparing personal documents among other factors. Perfection is another factor that is most sought for in the current world. There is consistent pressure from various forces in business environment
The advent of modernity brought forth a significant change in the lives of people. It changed how they work, how they enjoy leisure time, and the concept of private and public space. As pointed out by Ben Singer, modernity refers to an “array of technological and social changes” that took place by the end of the nineteenth century in form of “rapid industrialization, urbanization, and population growth;… explosion of mass consumer culture.” In a way, Singer points out that the urban modernization that was ushered in a “barrage of stimuli ” that changed the way society in every class worked and lived. Singer also points out how mass media through newspapers and magazines sensationalized the chaos of modernity. Media during the time presented a contrast of the serenity and poise of the pre-modern life to the post-modern confusion and disorder. In the name of mechanization, modernity and factory environment was making man more and more niche and tedious. Mechanization was making modern life more chaotic, disorderly, and confusing . The essence of motion and speed of modernity is captured in the two movies the essay discusses – first Dziga Vertov’s 1929 classic, Man with a Movie Camera and Charlie Chaplin’s 1936 classic Modern Times , but the differ in their conclusive point of view of modern life being chaotic. Both the movies provide a cinematic presentation of the advent of modernity. They put forth the philosophy of modernity through the precedence of mechanization and mechanical motion in modern man’s daily life. This essay discusses the various aspects of the philosophy of modernity and the underlying energy, commercialism, and chaos as discussed by Ben Singer is demonstrated in Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera and Chaplin’s 1936 classic Modern Times. The essay will first discuss the themes of modernity discussed in each of the movies and then demonstrate how this can be associated with the philosophy of modernity as presented by Ben Singer. The essay will critically review the movies in order to ascertain how modernity brings in chaos and disorder in human life. Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera opens the scene with an invitation forwarded to the audience to enter the theatre . The folded chairs are magically opened and the audiences are invited to sit. Some mechanization that the camera captures shows an initial glimpse of the modernity that has touched even the small activity of unfolding the seats in a theatre. Through this, Vertov signifies that the 1920s was a time of radical transformation in the nature and function of the cinema. Through the initial images, the movie takes the viewers through a tour of a modern city. The movie is edited much faster than was usual at the time and therefore, has been criticized by many. However, Vertov presents a film that presents a utopian world that technological modernization will bring. In a way Vertov’s documentary movie wanted to capture that figment of the imagination that dealt wi
Introduction Corruption, in its broadest context, refers to prejudice of integrity or moral principles which define what is acceptable in a given society. Corruption is always associated with lack of integrity (Ferrel, Fraedrich, & Ferrel, 2008). In the political context, corruption can be viewed as abuse of office for personal interests. In some cases, it entails the abuse of power. Corruption is greatly determined by factors such as levels of personal integrity and the moral perceptions of a given society or country. Both corporate and personal integrity plays an important role in determining the global economy in the present world (Wilson, 2009). Corruption is a major issue that most of countries are facing including both national and multinational companies. This essay attempts to draw a comparison between the most corrupt and least corrupt countries in the world. In addition, the essay will also analyze the trends of corruption among the selected countries which are most and least corrupt. The essay will also investigate the significance of culture in determining the business ethics of the selected countries. The paper will also provide an overview of the ethical problems within countries which are least corrupt and the actions that favor the most ethical nations. Finally the paper will report on the ways that can be applied in attempt to reduce corruption levels. Corruption is usually measured using the Corruption perception Index, which is usually rated out of 10, with the rates of corruption decreases as one inclines the CPI scale. The international organization in charge of helping countries combat corruption is the Transparency international. The Transparency International ratings reveal that the two top least corrupt countries are Denmark and New Zealand, each having a corruption Perception Index of 9.3. The most corrupt countries according to recent surveys indicate that Somalia and Afghanistan each having a Corruption Perception Index of 1.1 and 1.4 respectively (Transparency International, 2009). The Transparency International uses parameters such as drawbacks that are evident in the public procurement, the levels of bribery that are observed in public offices, misuse of public funds and the effectiveness of anti-corruption efforts that a country deploys (Transparency International, 2009). Comparison between the most corrupt and the least corrupt countries One of the approaches in comparing the most and least corrupt is evaluating the economic positions of the countries. Corruption typically affects the financial positions of a country, since most corruption cases are related to the misuse of funds. It is evident that the most corrupt countries perform poorly in terms of economics. An analysis of the most and least corrupt countries revealed that most corrupt countries have a less Gross Domestic Product in terms of per capita compared to the least corrupt; with So
