Science and medicine of the present days are known to study the human body as a strictly physical matter without subdividing it into physical and metaphysical aspects. Yet, it seems that practically human beings are used to identify their bodies with their feelings, emotions, thoughts, and other non-physical experiences and find all kinds of connections. This way, in different countries and cultures, bodily experiences can be viewed for morals and reliability, the subjectivity of physical skills, spiritual purity, social identification, and professional worth and value. It seems like, even though viewing the human body from the perspective of its metaphysical aspects is considered unscientific, in modern societies all around the world, this approach is frequently and widely practiced. Multiple esoteric authors of the present days tell their readers about the invisible connection between mind and body, and strong influences these two aspects of self may have on one another. Modern science rejects such beliefs, but they still tend to exist in society. For example, in shamanist cultures, it is believed that a shaman may feel what their patient is feeling, and this way addresses the disease (Harvey 904). The shamans of Brazilian people called Sanuma also practice this belief, but in their religion, it also refers to animals, so after a death of an animal’s body it’s the spirit continues to live as an invisible substance, and a person gifted with particular sensitivity can communicate with such spirits (Taylor 28). These two believe it clear that in ancient times and the old societies, the belief of the metaphysical aspect of the human body has been equally popular. This subject is often viewed under a much more modern perspective in the contemporary world. The study researching Norwegian gay men’s vision of condoms and the feelings they may represent demonstrates that being a simple object, a condom also becomes a symbol of deep feelings such as trust (Middelthon, 59). Many other objects are also given metaphysical meaning, for example, fans of various sportsmen or singers dream of gaining a piece of clothing worn by these celebrities, such objects seem to represent some physical level of closeness with the adored individual. Handwritten letters are considered filled with deeper value as they were created and touched by individuals. Interestingly, such visions exist in many cultures, so is it natural for people to come to such conclusions, or do we sense something metaphysical about various objects touched by other individuals? The shape and size of human bodies are also aspects that tend to represent the value of people. For example, in the Chinese patriarchal society, females are less valuable as workers
Introduction Reflection refers to an approach used to comprehend the personal practice process nature, which results in escalated knowledge as well as proper application in healthcare work, which eradicates the chances for medical errors (Walker, 1996). Reflection allows a person to think about an action and through this way, engage in a continuous learning process (Hendricks, Mooney and Berry, 1996: 100). Therefore, reflective practice is the most key source of personal improvement and professional development. As a result, the concept has become popular globally (Price, 2004: 470). An evidence-based tool of practice applies the best care a patient can afford. The principal goal of evidence-based practice is clinical expert opinion or expertise, caregiver/ patient/ client perspectives (Pattinson, 2011). For the purpose of this assignment, the Gibbs reflective model is vital. A summarized model will offer reflection guidance as structured in the six stages. The stages are; event or description, feeling or thoughts, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, and the action plan. This paper presents a case scenario where the practitioners involved in the care of the patient did not have effective communication, which impacted negatively on the patient. It also emphasizes the need for proper communication in health care. The Description/ Event Several years ago, as a senior anesthesia technician was just about to release an ODA for the lunch break, a boy who was approximately 5 years old and a pediatric cardiac patient was undergoing a dental clearance. After the dentist was thorough, the inhalation agent got terminated so as to allow the patient to recover prior to the removal of the endotracheal tube. The long extension set for intravenous use had already been closed as the short procedure was taking place. The boy began breathing again and tried to open his eyes. The reverse drugs were about to be given when the anesthetist requested the ODA to flush the intravenous line using 5ml of normal saline. However, the patient stopped breathing suddenly because of the boule that forced the residual muscle relaxant back into the patient. Consequently, the anesthetist began ventilating the patient, and it took approximately thirty minutes for the patient to recover. The patient did not experience considerable harm. Feeling The shock was one of the feelings that overcame me first. The anesthetist was impatient in treating the patient and seemed to be in a hurry (Boud et al, 1985). He ought to have waited before flushing the intravenous line so as to avoid the formation of a boule, which forced the residual muscle relaxant back into the patient. Maybe he wanted to have finished all his duties before releasing the ODA for lunch. Moreover, there seemed to be miscommunication between the ODA and the anesthetist. Both of them should have deep knowledge of the process and, therefore, there should be no errors as was the case (Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper, 2001). It was extremely sad to see the suffering young boy lying down. I was torn between many negative emotions
The use of seatbelts has been advocated since its invention as helpful in preventing death or disabling injuries to the driver and the passengers. However, its use is still not carried out by most of the people. In particular, children are likely to suffer from injuries when they are not properly tied with seatbelts. Ebel et al (2003) state that motor vehicle injury remains the largest cause of death in the ages from four to eight years. This is because adult seatbelts are applied to many children instead of proper child seats (Ebel et al, 2003). Child seats are specially designed bearing in mind the small physique and lower pain thresholds. Ebel et al emphasize the importance of car seats, preferring it over seat belts for children. Parents may erroneously believe that their children are safe if they use seatbelts though they need to use proper child seats instead (Ebel et al, 2003). Alongside, proper information and guidance should be given regarding how to use safety belts correctly in order to prevent injury from its wrong use. The concept behind the use of a seatbelt is to make the passenger a part of the car. In case of sudden breaks, collisions or abrupt swings on the road, seatbelts can prevent any disabling injury or even death of the people in the car (“The Importance of Seatbelts”, n.d). When the seatbelt is worn, a person does not absorb the shock of the collision, nor is thrown out of the car. Instead, the seatbelts help transfer the impact to the body of the car away from the passenger. With tight application, seatbelts help prevent sudden jerk and movement of the back, spine and neck, which are further very important for preventing any spine or back injuries. Seatbelts are very helpful preventing many injuries and even fatalities. There are a lot of literature and statistics that continue to increase. Many studies recommend the use of seatbelts, particularly for children. In the USA alone, the number of accidents is calculated to be 6 million in 2007, in which more than 41,000 lost their lives (“Air Bags, Seat Belts Important in Preventing Spine Fractures”, 2009). Most of these injury cases happen because of improper or no use of seat belts while riding or driving the car. Important Statistics and Information About Use of Seatbelts There are many statistics available to show the importance of seatbelts, and their use while driving. Studies reveal that over eighty percent of child deaths during car accidents take place due to not using or improper using of a seatbelt. For adults, the risk of death is also very high; it is only twenty percent lower than for children. Seatbelts prevent a person from ejecting out of the car because this case has a very high mortality rate (“Important Seatbelt Statistics You Need to Know”, nd). Seatbelts h
Introduction Breakthroughs in medicine are common occurrences in the modern age. The success in the medical field is the result of the better use of technology and information available on a global scale. The collaboration of doctors and other specialists made it easier to come up with solutions to medical problems that bothered many people in the past. Nevertheless, there are still many illnesses and medical issues that remain a mystery to many physicians. One of the most problematic is melanoma – it is a cancer of the skin. Doctors must find a way to know more about this disease to find a cure. Melanoma is a preventable disease but ignorance of the problem is the reason why this medical condition has claimed the lives of many people. This study attempts to learn more about Melanoma. It is important to know more about risk factors so that at-risk patients can improve their chances of beating the disease. It is also important to improve the information dissemination campaign within countries that show high incidence rates of this type of cancer. Just like other forms of cancer, melanoma significantly reduces the productivity of a person affected by it. The cost of treatment is an added burden that affected families must not be forced to carry. Melanoma This medical condition is a form of cancer that affects the skin, the largest organ of the human body. Although melanoma is a type of cancer that exhibits the usual problems associated with cancer and tumor, melanoma distinguishes itself as being “…the most serious type of skin cancer” (Merck, 2011). The root cause of the problem is exposure to ultraviolet radiation. During the summertime people love to put on their swimming attire and other types of clothes that expose a great degree of their skin. These types of clothing do not offer much protection from sunlight. Ultraviolet radiation coming from sunlight is a potent force that has to be blocked by appropriate clothing. Many have adapted to the scorching heat of the sun by developing natural barriers that can be found in their skin. But Caucasians and people with fair skin do not possess much of the natural blocking mechanisms that are present in dark-skinned individuals, thus they are prone to acquire melanoma. In the Western world many people suffer from this medical condition. The reason is simple. It is a fun activity to frolic under the sun. In addition, many are willing to spend hours baking under the intense glare of the sun because of the effect this activity has on their looks. The aesthetic aspect of sunbathing is the reason why it is difficult to put a stop to this practice. Therefore, for many decades Americans, Europeans, and Australians love craved for that bronze look and so they either go to tanning booths with its extreme use of ultraviolet radiation or they spend so much time under the scorching heat of the sun’s rays. Thus, melanoma is on the rise especially in the United States. In America, melanoma is now considered one of the fastest-growing types of cancer and it has claimed the lives of many. Health experts are alarmed because this type of cancer is very a
The “term risk management refers to the process of identifying, analyzing, and mitigating uncertainties in every kind of investment” (Singh & Ghatala, 2012, p. 418). Risk management focuses on different strategies that can deal with every projected loss. The process identifies the most appropriate actions towards dealing with risks. Youngberg (2010) believes that “inadequate risk management will eventually affect the performance of an organization” (p. 27). Risk Management (RM) is a wide field that attracts many professionals. This is the case because risk management is a powerful process embraced in different healthcare organizations. This essay describes the major issues associated with risk management. Financial and Accounting Areas Necessary in a Risk Management Plan According to Singh & Ghatala (2012), many professionals will eventually find themselves in the RM department. For instance, accountants and financial experts should have the required knowledge in RM. Some financial and accounting areas are relevant in every RM plan. For instance, financial accounting is used “to classify, interpret, report, and record an institution’s financial performance” (Youngberg, 2010, p. 39). This area is critical towards dealing with different financial risks. Youngberg (2010) believes that “some areas such as budgetary accounting, cost accounting, and auditing should be implemented in every RM plan” (p. 41). Forensic accounting investigates different forms of fraud. The approach minimizes chances of embezzlement. Health Managers (HMs) should also use various financial indicators to monitor the performance of their businesses. Some of these indicators include “liquidity, profitability, and leverage” (Singh & Ghatala, 2012, p. 419). Such areas should therefore be used in every risk management plan. Professionals Working in Risk Management Organizations should control risks in order to achieve their goals. Risks can affect the performance of many healthcare institutions. Such risks vary from one facility to another. That being the case, different professionals will find themselves working in risk management. Financial managers and accountants should focus on the best strategies in order to deal with every risk. HMs should also be able “to forecast and deal with various risks” (Youngberg, 2010, p. 82). Medical practitioners should also possess the relevant skills in RM. This knowledge will encourage them to control various risks that might affect their patients. Project managers should also use their competences to deal with every project risk. Employees working in different areas or departments should also be involved in every risk management plan. Such professionals will provide timely ideas in order to deal with every risk. Insurance Managers (IMs) should also identify various risks that can affect different healthcare institutions (Singh & Ghatala, 2012). This approach will protect the firm from different risks. This discussion shows clearly that every organization has its unique risks. Healthcare organization
Introduction Compliance with the basic ethical principles in journalism is, perhaps, an intrinsically controversial concept, since the very nature of journalism implies that people should be tricked, if not shocked, into paying attention to a certain issue. More importantly, the incorporation of the subjects related to political, economic, and sociocultural problems that the contemporary society faces does not add to the rather narrow range of opportunities for rounding the rough edges (Patching and Hurst 96). Even though the picture under analysis, in which a child is being held at a gunpoint, can be interpreted as a shocking content and a graphic representation of violence that is inappropriate for showing in a newspaper, it must be seen by people and, thus, included in the article, so that the current global problems that pose a threat to humanity should not be swept under the rug. Validity The picture in question portrays a child, possibly a boy, on their knees. Three guns are pointed at the child, yet the faces of the people holding the armor are not shown, with only the elements of the military uniform being visible. Based on the picture, it can be assumed that it addresses a military conflict. The article on the issue of violence against Syrian refugees at the Turkish border, in its turn, will immediately frame the picture in the context of the contemporary political events., sending a message about the abhorrent crimes against humanity committed in the identified area. When considering the validity of the picture as the possible medium of information to be included in a newspaper article, one must bring up the fact that the portrayals of violence are typically inadmissible in the identified types of publications. Therefore, there seem to be rather few chances for the picture to be included in the description of the current events in Syria. Therefore, it could be considered as passable in terms of the restrictions on portraying violence in media (Kennedy and Patrick 97). One might claim, however, that the picture does not contain any elements that can be interpreted as having explicitly violent elements. For instance, there is no blood in the picture, it does not portray the corpses of the people murdered during the Syrian conflict, etc. Nevertheless, the very fact that a gun is held against a child serves as a graphic representation of the outrageous lack of any ethics in the environment that Syrian refugees have to survive in. The unnatural position that the child is in while the owners of the guns aimed at him emphasize the tragedy of the situation and the overall gravity of the issue, in general. The picture screams for taking action and addressing the Syrian conflict. Therefore, it can be deemed as valid for using it as a support for making a statement. To the credit of those that may consider the image inappropriate for showing it in a newspaper or any other resource available to all members of the population, one must admit that it is very manipulative. It panders to the emotions of moralists, using the concept of child abuse as one of the most abhorrent phenomena to make
Understanding the topic of corporate governance is essential in business today. Such aspect is not only concerned with business owners, but also with various managerial, legal, and economical positions within the company. The present short paper summarizes the main points learned in corporate governance through the first two chapters of the textbook Corporate Governance by Kenneth A. Kim, John R. Nofsinger, and Derek J. Mohr. The first aspect that should be paid attention to is the different forms of ownership. Each form has its specific characteristic, advantages, and disadvantages. Such advantages and disadvantages might be connected to business growth. Many businesses might start as a sole proprietorship and later grow to become corporations. From a country perspective corporations are the most important forms of business, which have many pros, although some cons can be also present. One of the main advantages of corporations, and at the same time one of the important concepts of corporate governance is the separation of ownership and control. The rationale for such separation is the inability of investors to control all companies they own. Thus, one of the main points learned through the first chapter is the simple structure of corporations. Owners, have shares in the company, for which they elect a board of directors, who are simply representatives of the shareholders. The b, in turn, turn elects Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), who run the company. Such structure is governed through a monitoring process, and a system of incentives and rewards, which on the one hand prevent CEOs to use the assets of the company for their purposes, and on the other hand, make CEOs interested in the success of the corporation. The structure in which ownership, monitoring, and control are separated prevents owners from influencing the board or the managers, and accordingly, external monitoring prevents fraud, abuse, and tax evasion. The purpose of incentives is to make CEOs and managers act in the best interest of shareholders and avoid the temptation to use the resources of the company. The type of incentives that link its value to the performance of the company is the best way to monitor CEOs, the latter includes stock options, which is the most common form of incentives, and bonuses, based on the performance of the company. The main learning outcomes from the second chapter show that there are no ideal options, where each type of incentive has its flaws, which might make the managers act so that their incentives increase. The real-wo
Introduction For many teenagers, it is hard to go to school every day and be active there. In the lessons, some students may feel underestimated, not cared about, not important. They need to feel a pleasant atmosphere and have something exciting to do in school. The purpose of this paper is to make a list of the best ways to build school-community partnerships and explain them. Possible Ways The first way is giving young people a voice; in other words, letting students affect changes in their school and their communities, designing new projects, being leaders of their own campaigns. Teachers and school staff need to let students feel that they and their opinions actually matter. The second way is to plan for the active collaboration of students. Students have to feel comfortable to ask any questions they have and not to be afraid that they need to come with the answers on their own. The more students figure out together, the better the results they may achieve. Also, if one wants to build school-community partnerships, he or she should develop a shared vision, which allows students to understand where they can use their strengths and resources to achieve the best result. What is also necessary is to establish clear roles for each partner; everyone should be involved in the process and have his own responsibilities. Engaging teachers in joint professional development builds a strong sense of awareness, recognition, and the contribution of the school staff. As an outside help, engaging the right leaders (mayors, city council members, superintendents, etc.) and get help identifying diverse funding resources so that the students could get access to the resources they deserve. Conclusion To draw a conclusion, one may say that there are a lot of things that need to be changed in schools. Students have to spend at school five or six days per week, so there should be a good atmosphere for them and many opportunities to express themselves. Hence, it is evident that the steps of building school-community partnerships are simple and should be done in the nearest future.
