Abstract Quality-Caring Model was developed by Duffy and Hoskins and introduced in 2003. According to this approach, the quality of nursing depends on the relationships and interactions that occur between nurses, their patients, and their families. Apart from the patient-nurse autonomous interactions, the latter serves as an integrator between an individual and other team members to ensure adequate cooperation. The implications of the environment and the process of caring are combined within this model to create a quality care practice. The idea is that when an honest and good relationship is established, a nurse can understand the needs of their patients better. At the same time, the latter can feel more comfortable sharing important health-related details, affecting the efficiency of treatment. This paper discusses the mid-range model of Quality-Caring and outlines the main principles, concepts, and other aspects of this concept. Introduction Mid-range nursing theories aim to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of nurses. One of these models was developed in 2003 to promote the importance of the interactions between a nurse and their patient and the impact of this relationship on the health outcomes. The Quality-Caring Model was selected as the focus of this paper since it highlights the aspects of care that are beyond the understanding of medicine or human biology, which help address many illnesses but are insufficient to make an impact on one’s attitude towards health. This aspect is especially crucial for Family Nurse Practitioners (FNP) since they often work with patients long-term and have to address chronic illnesses, which implies a change in a person’s lifestyle for achieving successful management. As such, this paper aims to explore the concept and theory of the Quality-Caring model and argue that this approach has to be an integral part of an FNP’s professional practice. Biography This theory was developed by Joanne Duffy and Lois Hoskins in 2003. The bibliography of the two includes several notable moments. Hoskins was engaged in studies connected to nursing care at the University of America in Washington. Duffy (2016; 2019) is a practitioner and author of several books, such as “Professional practice models in nursing: Successful health system integration” and ” Quality-Caring in nursing and health systems: Implications for clinicians, educators, and leaders” that focus on the implications of the explored nursing care model in practice. Duffy is a professional nurse with a Ph.D. degree, who is also a professor at West Virginia University Hospitals (Duffy, 2019). Duffy worked as a cardiovascular specialist and Director of Nursing Services, and she was influenced by the Theory of Human Caring and Quality of Health Model. Thus, the achievements of Duffy include extensive clinical practice and academic work, while Hoskins helped Duffy develop the model and publish articles that describe it. Summary Scope The scope and central thesis of this model focus on the main element of nursing practice that affects the
Introduction Syria is located in the Asian continent in the Middle East, and the Arabs form a huge part of its population which is about 99,000 people per square kilometer according to a survey conducted in 2008. Despite the outbreak of civil wars in Syria, it has struggled to become a unitary state. It adopted its present constitution in 2012 that changed Syria from a semi-presidential to a constitutional regime where individuals had the right to be elected. This paper presents the reasons that made people migrate to or from Syria during the political upheavals it witnessed in 2011. Push and Pull Factors in the Syrian Migration Peace is an indispensable aspect that determines the existence of all living things on earth. Syria had witnessed several political strifes but none was worse than the one witnessed in 2011. The attempts to overthrow the duly elected government of President Assad led to bloodshed, destruction of property, and civil disobedience. This was a major factor that pushed Syrians out of a country they had known to be their home (Dagher 12). Foreign investors relocated their investments from Syria and this led to unemployment and loss of revenue generated through taxation. The cost of living became unbearable and people could not str8uggle to look for food and peace at the same time. They had to migrate to neighboring countries like Lebanon and turkey. There were reported cases of disease outbreaks that led to unhealthy environmental conditions and inadequate health care services (Lesch 51). This caused severe famine and malnutrition because a lot of time was spent on war other than cultivating. Cities, towns, and homes were destroyed and the infrastructure was damaged. Therefore, the movement of people and transportation of goods were blocked and hindered as many people fled to safety. The rebels enslaved most civilians, and this discouraged the locals and foreigners from conducting their activities peacefully in this country. Youths were taken, trained as soldiers, and recruited by rebels to their armies, and this gave the government serious challenges in maintaining law and order (Sengupta 19) The abducted youths and their families were taken as hostages and made to work according to the rebels’ directives. Failure to observe any of their directives led to the death of the family members or a whole community. Therefore, the high political tension and inhuman acts performed by rebel groups pushed locals and foreigners out of Syria. T
According to Klein, small business startups may only relay on their levels of reputation in order to retain their customers (par. 1). In other words, the ability of a small or upcoming business enterprise to compete favorably with giant companies is largely determined by the loyalty of customers who frequent such businesses. When customers fail to return, it spells doom for young business units. This implies that service managers have the responsibility of making sure that the expectations of customers are exceeded at any given time. Customers often require staunch reasons why they should buy from a particular business enterprise. The author emphasizes that a business owner or service manager ought to be service oriented, honest and friendly towards customers. Prompt service provision is also part and parcel of strategy to retain customers and enhance their loyalty. Additional methods of improving the loyalty of customers include efficient service delivery, being a people person, offering expeditious solution to problems, avoiding overselling, and keeping in touch with customers (Klein par. 5). The article by Klein relates to a number of key concepts examined in the course unit. For instance, the article highlights the noble role of service managers in business organizations. The author critically scrutinizes the importance of service in marketing. Part 2 of the course unit focused on the customer. Some of the key issues addressed in this chapter include the expectation of customers in regards to services being offered and the perception of customers. These are vividly some of the issues hinted out in this article. As a matter of fact, the loyalty level of customers is largely driven by their individual opinions and the overall quality of services. Besides, reputation of any business unit relies on the experience of customers across the board. It is the responsibility of marketing practitioners to understand and implement the needs of customers so that their respective organizations can remain relevant and profitable. Although the author has restrictively addressed the above concerns in regards to small businesses, the same issues also apply to large business enterprises. From the course unit, the management of services is a crucial undertaking in both small startups and well-established units. Integrated service marketing is not only confined to startups. The only difference is witnessed in the scale of service provision bearing in mind that giant organizations undertake multiple marketing operations simultaneously. Moreover, the ability of service managers to comprehend the diverse requirem

His entry into the world of fashion started with him learning the basics of craft from a local designer Ernestina Salvador and his own aunt, Rosa (Mahalo). Valentino’s career in fashion started through his position as a designer with Jean Desses, which he obtained after he finished his design studies at the schools of the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne in Paris (Steele 704).

Every sovereign country in the world has a foreign policy that they subscribe to and use in the international environment. Foreign policy has for many years been used to shape and even alter the course of events internationally. The factors and prevailing circumstances used to formulate foreign policy are numerous. Leaders of governments are tasked with the responsibility of making decisions to be used in structuring their countries foreign policy. The effect and results of foreign policy range from the mild and unobtrusive to the overt and life altering. Some examples are the decision to wage war or make peace, and imposing of social and economic sanctions. In studying foreign policy, it has emerged that culture plays an important role in influencing the type of policy adopted. In studying foreign policy, empirical evidence is relied upon to critically analyze the policy and its effect in the environment how it was implemented (Adam 1991). The following article will seek to determine that cultural representation matters in formulating foreign policy. Foreign policy is affected by various factors which include social changes, culture, international policy and domestic policy. The success or failure of foreign policies can only be determined after the implementation of the policy because in most cases, the policy operates in fluid environments. Decision makers must carefully consider all the possible scenarios that might arise from particular foreign policies and choose the best option. Learning from the mistakes and success of previous foreign policies is an essential tool for individuals involved in creating foreign policies for their countries. The time required for the construction of various foreign policy decisions varies from adequate to limited schedule. In some cases, leaders make intuitive foreign policy decisions when they are time barred and their personality traits play a major role in the type of decision made (Ahmad 1992). With many factors affecting the formulation of foreign policy, it is clear that the process is not an exact science and at times relies on human nature which has the tendency of being unpredictable and can also be shaped by culture of a particular society. Culture can be described as the norms and collective identities of a particular society. After the cold war ended, theories in international relations began to incorporate culture as an important element of international relations. The theories included constructivism, soft power and clash of civilization. In clash of civilization, Huntington proposes that after the cold war period, global politics began to be influenced by culture and were increasingly multi polar. He also proposed that state affairs and interaction with other states began to be influenced by elements of culture and civilization. The conflicts in the world began to change and he describes clash of civilization as the conflict between the West and other cultures that are differe

One of the main motivations, which prompt people to read fiction-novels and to watch movies, which contain the motifs of otherworldliness, is the fact that, while being exposed to these literary and cinematographic works, individuals are being often able to confirm the validity of their unconscious anxieties, as to what accounts for the true essence of a surrounding reality. In its turn, this usually helps people to attain the sensation of an ‘existential wholesonmess’ – when they come in a close touch with a number of socially suppressed truths about what may be considered the actual significance of their life-experiences. The Freudian concept of ‘uncanny’ comes in particularly handy, when it comes to discussing the significance of fictitious representations of otherworldliness, “An uncanny experience occurs either when infantile complexes which have been repressed are once more revived by some impression, or when primitive beliefs which have been surmounted seem once more to be confirmed” (Freud 57). Therefore, it makes a perfect logical sense to discuss these representations as such that are being reflective of the workings of people’s unconscious psyche. In this paper, I will aim to do just that, in regards to the motifs of otherworldliness, which can be found in George Lucas’s 1977 film Star War: A New Hope and Steven King’s 1977 novel The Shining . The foremost aspect of how the unworldly reality is being depicted in Lucas’s movie is the fact that, while being exposed to it, viewers are being prompted to establish dialectical links between what they get to see on the screen and what accounts for the essence of their socialization-related experiences, in a real life. The validity of this statement can be well illustrated in relation to the film’s scene, in which the characters of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) end up confronting aliens and mutated humans in the bar, on the planet of Tatooine (00.46.37). There can be few doubts as to the fact that there are strongly defined motifs of the Freudian ‘uncanny’ to this particular scene, because it relates to the White viewers’ unconscious fear of multiculturalism. After all, it does not represent much of a secret that even many open-minded Whites in Western countries, where the policy of multiculturalism had attained an official status, do not exhibit much of an enthusiasm, while being required to take an active part in the ‘celebration of diversity’. Hence, their tendency to prefer residing in a racially secluded ‘white suburbia’, as opposed to residing amidst the representatives of racial minorities in ethnic ‘ghettos’. Therefore, while exposed to the scene, in which the alien-looking representatives of an ‘intergalactic scum’ are picking upon the characters of Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, many viewers confirm the validity of their rationally suppressed fear of venturing in places, where ethnically diverse individuals can be found in particularly large numbers. There are two mutually exclusive aspects of how people experience the ‘uncanny’ – they are being simultaneously encouraged and
George Washington is one of the schools belonging to Elizabeth Public schools. The school has a vision that guides its employees and students. In 2011, the school adopted some of the strategies that would help it perform well in the education sector. The vision of the school is that it will one day become a leading public school in the American nation. From the vision statement of George Washington School, it is evident that a vision serves to foster development in the school. Scholars observe that a vision is defined a blueprint that helps the school community to engage the locals in development. Through a vision, the goals and objectives of the school are developed. A vision is very important in convening the needs of students, as well as the management. Whenever a decision is made at the school level, the vision of the school is always reflected. This is because a vision offers an opportunity to policy makers to join forces with other stakeholders, such as parents. The vision of the school is put into operation through continuous assessment of various programs. This is done through championing for open communication among various stakeholders. To put into operation the stewardship of the vision, it is advisable that the school management should foster integration of students into mainstream society, but at the same time respect cultural diversity. In this regard, it should be noted that it is a complex process to develop the vision of the school. Therefore, the management should incorporate each stakeholder into the process of formulating the vision to avoid conflicts. Scholars observe that the vision would only be preserved when people are allowed to share the principles, attitudes, purposes, and objectives that guide their actions. The main abilities of the leader are to guide and supervise the activities of the school. District School Goals and Objectives Through the process, it was observed that transformational leadership is needed to improve the performance of the school. Transformational leadership is defined as a type of leadership that uses motivation to enhance the performance of employees.
