Introduction The YAI network is an organization that creates hope for people with developmental, physical or learning disorders as well as their families. The organization is committed to creating a society where all the people who are affected such as autistic persons are able to achieve individuality as well as a sense of belonging to the society. It is comprised of a huge number of dedicated staff which is well trained and competent in their specialized fields. The organization highly values the staff and they are allowed to play a part in the decision making procedures. Through many community based programs, the organization has greatly changed the public view of people with developmental or physical disease. As opposed to ancient periods when people with disabilities were taken to “specialized” institutions where they were mostly mistreated and not given proper attention as well as care, the organization takes a more considerate approach. Throughout any organization, whether profit or not for profit, there is need for a change in the organization in order to conform to the ever-changing market or societal conditions. However, Mishra and Spreitzer stated that: “There have been a variety of different industries that have widely been impacted by layoffs, not only manufacturing. For example, hospitals like other companies and nonprofit organizations have experienced downsizing that has negatively impacted healthcare employees with varying degrees of psychological distress and poor health. In a 1998 study, Mishra and Spreitzer showed that restructuring and its changes can result in lower job satisfaction and job insecurity.” (1998) An organizational change may be the key to success for a firm that is geared to widen its operations and achieve efficiency and economy. One of the ways by which YAI network can be better at achieving its ultimate objectives is by downsizing its large staff of about 5600 members. Thesis statement Downsizing will create numerous advantages to YAI network if it is carried out in the proper manner. However various flaws are also associated with the practice. It is definite that by laying off some of the staff, the YAI network will be at a much better position to achieve its objectives which includes assisting the disabled to participate, love their work as well as to feel much better about themselves. Downsizing This refers to reorganizing of a company structure in a manner that brings about reduction in a company’s workforce. The YAI network has a very large workforce which in reality may not be necessary for the company to achieve its objectives at the current cost that it incurs. The main reasons why the organization should downsize are to reduce costs as well as to achieve efficiency. The YAI network has very many stakeholders who will be affecte
Genesove and Mayer (2001) based their research on the statement that the data from the 1990s demonstrated that seller behavior was majorly driven by the tendencies concerning the aversion of loss in the housing market. In particular, the authors used information from the housing market that showed three primary behavioral patterns of the condominium owners exposed to a possibility of nominal losses: a) 25 to 35% higher asking selling prices than the original purchase prices of housing; b) attaining the final selling process that are about 3 to 18% higher than the original purchase prices; and c) the lower likeliness of sale hazards compared to the other sellers (Genesove & Mayer, 2001). The authors made a connection between the behavior of the sellers at the real estate market and the intention to avert losses. Discussing the background of the theoretical basis for their research, the authors took into consideration such factors as the correlation between prices and the volume of sales and between the prices established by the sellers and time spent on the market (Genesove & Mayer, 2001). In addition, the researchers also mentioned that under the circumstances of a high likeliness of losses, the prices of the sellers tend to be less flexible than the offers of the buyers (Genesove & Mayer, 2001). In other words, the buyers are inclined to adjust to the elevated asking prices of housing. The authors relied on findings of the statistics of the Boston Condominium Price Index of the 1980s and the 1990s and revealed a cycle of falls and rises of the real estate prices that could be associated with the possibility of losses in the market (Genesove & Mayer, 2001). In that way, the initial section of the article is intended to explain the theoretical basis for the research, and the following parts of the article were designed to provide qualitative and quantitative grounds for the phenomenon under discussion. The quantitative data for this discussion was also taken from the City of Boston Assessor’s Office’s records of the 1990s. However, the authors’ attempt to predict that seller behaviors (especially those related to the establishment of the asking prices in the markets) is a definite strength of the article. Moreover, the authors provide a very thorough and detailed investigation of all the aspects with the inclusion of graphic materials for better comprehension. Speaking about the weaknesses of this research, it is important to point out the fact that the entire article is based on the findings made within just one industry – the real estate market. In that way, the focus of the research is quite narrow and specific; besides, the housing market is not a sufficient representation of the relationship between the loss probability and seller behaviors. This is the case because the real estate market has a very specific type of goods that can be referred to as luxury goods, and this status of the properties sold may produce a strong impact on the co
One of the most outstanding cultural outputs of the Islamicate world is Ottoman architecture. This architecture emerged after the formation of the Ottoman Empire in 1300. The pioneer locations of this architecture were Edirne and Bursa. The Ottomans specialized in creating inner spaces under huge domes, and such a thing had not happened in the Islamicate world before. Hitherto, most buildings and especially mosques as they were important aspects at the time, entailed mainly ordinary buildings, but highly decorated. However, with the entry of the use of domes and vaults, which were common with the Ottoman architecture, both inside and outside space, was redefined. Mosques were redesigned from the earlier dark chambers to beautifully constructed domes with well-defined light and dark areas. Across the entire Asia Minor, different forms of mosques emerged based on the Ottoman architecture. This emerging form of architecture was well received across the region with Mimar Sinan at the helm whereby he came up with numerous ideas concerning this form of art. With such revolutionary architectural wave sweeping across Asia Minor, other regions became interested and adopted it. The classical Ottoman architecture was widely accepted in Tunisia, Hungary, Algiers, and Egypt. The west did not receive the classical version of this architecture, but with modernization, this form of art slowly penetrated the west as explored next. With modernization and peace, the Ottoman Empire started to form bilateral associations with western countries. France was the first country to associate with the Ottoman Empire. Consequently, the Ottoman architecture started influencing its French counterpart. However, architects from France modified the classical Ottoman architectural designs and incorporated the Rococo and Baroque trends, which were popular across Europe. The most outstanding product of the modification of the classical Ottoman architecture is the renowned Divrigi hospital. The key architect of the Baroque-Ottoman architecture in France was Mellin, and he traveled to Istanbul, where he cemented his interests in this newly found form of art. During the Tulip period, the modernized Ottoman architecture spread widely across Europe. Even back in Turkey where it originated, different places hitherto preserved for the elites were opened for the ordinary citizens to visit. Therefore, the architecture became common across Asia Minor, where public recreational areas like Kagithane were constructed using this form of architecture. Baroque-Ottoman architecture became popular between 1757 and 1808 during the Baroque period. During this time, the architectural designs spread to Italy and other major European countries. Ultimately, the Ottoman architecture underwent a revolution during the National Architectural Renaissance, which occurred in the latter years of the 19th century. Modern structural techniques started
PDSA Cycle and Example of Its Implications in Oncology Nursing The PDCA cycle is an abbreviation of the “Plan-Do-Check-Act,” also known as the “Deming cycle.” The PDCA cycle is a sequence of actions aimed at improvement. The stages of oncology nursing care can be based on the use of the PDCA cycle. The first stage is the planning of activities for the treatment of the patient. It begins with an analysis of the current state of health, during which data is collected, which is used to develop a plan for improving treatment. For example, it determines which methods of treatment should be combined (radiation therapy, chemo -, hormone-and immunotherapy). The second stage is the performance of medical work and making a slight adjustment to treatment (for instance, treatment methods are excluded or added depending on the side effects). The third stage is taking tests and monitoring the result obtained during the process, identifying deviations from the expected results of treatment, and determining the causes of variations (i.e., the growth of the tumor and the decrease in its volume are evaluated). The fourth stage is taking measures to eliminate the causes of deviations from the planned development (e.g., therapy is carried out to eliminate the severe symptoms of a common malignant process). The Steps of Risk Assessment and It’s Importance in Nursing Management Risk assessment is used to reduce the number of adverse consequences of work. This applies to the risks associated with the provision of medical care and financial, organizational, legal risks. It is necessary to start risk assessment by analyzing information about the factors that can affect a nurse’s work. This can be done by calculating the medical organization’s weaknesses that can cause adverse consequences and external threats. Then, it is necessary to adapt the list of hazards to the specifics of the nurse’s duties. Next, it is needed to choose a method for assessing the professional risks of a nurse. The following step is to determine the employee’s performance from the point of view of safety to the professional risk assessment and adjust its results to the human factor’s value. Risk assessment allows to identify and assess the consequences of all existing risks and developing counteraction tactics aimed at limiting accidental events that can cause physical and moral harm to patients and medical personnel. When considering the risk assessment results, the management of nursing manipul
The speech of Ron Gutman on smiling is the example of an effective presentation. At first, the scope of information seems a little confusing as the speaker starts presenting different facts at a fast pace. However, even though most data were received from various studies, he successfully integrated them into one story. The reflection on human superpowers followed by the effects of smiling on marriage and wellbeing lead to the conclusion that it brings many benefits for health and happiness (Gutman, 2011). Another peculiarity of the speech is the fact that the speaker does not get distracted when switching through the slides. He does not look at the screen, and it adds credibility to the information. Meanwhile, the possible improvement of this presentation is the inclusion of personal experience.
The theme of research is “The problems of mismanagement at hospital respiratory units and ways of solving them.” Taking into consideration the topic of the investigation, it is possible to suggest a qualitative research design to perform the study. Out of the variety of qualitative research methods, grounded theory seems to be the most suitable in this case (Neuman 2014). Grounded theory is an approach that is frequently used with interpretivist methods (Collis & Hussey 2013). This kind of inductive theorizing presupposes establishing new analytical ideas from the existing theories rather than performing the analysis of the known concepts (Neuman 2014). An example of the employment of grounded theory is the study by Mishra, Gupta, and Bhatnagar (2014) focused on the exploration of work-family enrichment. Using grounded theory enables researchers to establish the reasons, moderators, and outcomes of work-family enrichment. The approach is useful because it allows scholars to investigate the ideas based on known theories without having to formulate a theory of their own. Mishra, Gupta, and Bhatnagar (2014) emphasize the accuracy provided by grounded theory when it is employed in business research. Since the current project is also associated with business and management, grounded theory seems like a good choice of methodology. Another way of using grounded theory is the study by Fay (2011) concentrated on the employees’ choice of approaches to informal communication. This research is an example of how qualitative methodology may be used to identify patterns of communication between co-workers through a thematic analysis of their messages. In order to contextualize research from a qualitative perspective, it is necessary to gather some background details (Collis & Hussey 2013). For the present study, such data will involve social, legal, and political issues. To understand the context of research perfectly, the information about mismanagement at different hospitals has to be collected, and the reasons causing such a state of affairs should be investigated. The sampling method that will be most valuable for data collection is random sampling (Anderson 2013). This method gives a researcher a possibility to have the most reliable and independent data. When employing random sampling, any issue or participant included in the study has equal chances to be investigated (Neuman 2015). Moreover, this method helps to calculate the correlation between the whole population
Introduction Imagism in poetry advocates for the use of precise and direct language to create an evocative visualized picture for the audience or readers. Imagist poems are characterized by the directness, meanness of the language used, reduction of generalities, and use of exact phrases over a contemporary poetic meter- which normally put emphasis on the line of poetry. In this poem, an adult world is seen through the eyes of children full of possibilities of imaginations, as the world is reduced to dimensions of the child’s imagery (Islam). This is indicated by Seamus, “We thought words traveled the wires, in the shiny pouches of raindrops” (lines 8-9). In this quote, the poet and fellow children are trying to invent their explanations to cure their lack of knowledge and misunderstanding of what they have seen which looks like miracles. The imagist nature of this poem comes out in the hidden modernism the poet is trying to communicate using imagery with sharp language. The poem is demonstrating the real world including social class differences, and telecommunication sophistication in the imaginary minds of the children. Imagism is in this poem is achieved through concentrating the poet’s message on how they understand telecommunications in a precise and vivid image than using meter and rhyme. The poem is easy to understand, with excellent clarity of expression, as well as accuracy in the use of visual images in the right context. As was emphasized by Seamus, “Sagging under their burden of swallows” (lines 5-6), showing exactl
Introduction The education system in the United States has been a highly controversial topic for a long time. Many people argue its value and require serious reforms. However, others believe that the current situation is totally acceptable and emphasizes the strengths of educational institutions in the country. The main goal of this paper is to discuss the key aspects of the education system in the United States and highlight its value. Discussion There are several benefits and drawbacks to the US education system. The fact that most college graduates have better salaries its main advantage. The average income for citizens aged 25 years and older with bachelor degrees is almost two times higher than for people with only high school diplomas (Snipp, 2015). Another reason to choose higher education is that many jobs require college degrees. However, there are significant cons, as well. Student debt loans are a heavy burden for graduates. More than half of the students in the United States spend almost 60 percent of their annual income to pay off loan debts (Bok, 2015). In addition, in spite of the fact that most employers hire only college-educated specialists, many graduates cannot find a job. My parents have already spent on my education more than $30,000. However, I believe that it is worth this money. Education offers many opportunities for students. They can interact with teachers, professors, and other professionals to gain very valuable experience and knowledge. Education helps to develop social and vocational skills that are necessary for modern society. Also, educational institutions narrow the gap between the rich and the poor. Many specialists claim that education is one of the most prominent instruments that can serve as a social equalizer. First, more educated people have better chances to obtain higher-paying positions (Biddle, 2014). The most successful careers require many different qualities that are cultivated in educational institutions. Second, various studies show that there is a direct connection between a poverty level and the number of people with college and university degrees (Pavlakis, Noble, Pavlakis, Ali, & Frank, 2015). Educated citizens are more productive and reliable members of society. Such individuals are less likely to end up living in poverty. Therefore, education can reduce the difference between materially needy and wealthy people. Evaluation is another important aspect that is necessary to discuss. Standardized tests are the major approach that is used by most educational institutes. There are many reasons for the applica
Chapter One The first chapter of the book looks into the use of theology in counselling. The author argues that from the beginning, the human form was meant to receive some type of counselling. It can be agreed that human nature seeks understanding and revelation, and so, to some extent, the suggested premise is true. Due to the fact that man is dependent on his creator, it can, therefore, be concluded that there is significant need for the use of theology in counseling. One can also agree with the author that the first man brings out the importance of outside counsel in leading a positive life. In the case of Adam, he heeded bad counsel and this led to expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Chapter Two Adams (1986) gives an in-depth definition of theology and its relation to counseling in chapter two of the book. The author argues that when the scripture is not well interpreted, it can lead to negative actions after a theological therapy. This chapter is rich due to the fact that it provides practical examples that highlight both how scripture can be used for good and bad in counseling. Of course, the author explains that counselors who use theology should be careful in their description and analysis of scripture as pertains to their patient’s life in order to avert negative consequences. Chapter Three The author takes a hard stance on the influence and importance of non-theological counseling measures. Indeed, Jesus is referred to as a great counselor yet the Bible does not indicate that he used any type of modern (then) strategies. Towards this end, Adams (1986) is convinced that a counselor only needs to understand scripture in order to be good at their work. The premise purported by the scholar is harsh towards people of other faiths (who he refers to as non-believers). However, scripture does not shun these people away but encourages Christians to welcome them into the fold. This is not considered in the chapter, making the arguments presented incomplete. Chapter Four One of the striking elements of this chapter is the extensive use of evidence from the Bible. The author has used scripture to show the doctrine of God in relation to man’s basic environment. One can agree with the author that there are sinners who know that what they are doing is wrong. However, the author argues that all sinners are aware that what they are doing is wrong. This can be disputed strongly by the fact that when Jesus was on the cross he prayed and said “for they do not know what they are doing”. Additionally, the chapter assumes that people who need counseling are sinning in one way or the other. However, Christian counseling is not just about finding forgiveness for sin but also further understanding one’s self and his or her purpose. Chapter Five Chapter five is one of the shortest chapters in the publication. One interesting thing about the chapter is that it allows the reader to write his or her own ideas on the book.
