Sexual assault has always been a complex topic that requires respect and attention to those who have experienced it. With or without the aid of health care providers, recovering from rape is a long process that significantly influences victims’ lives due to a high likelihood of the development of such mental health conditions as posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, irrational fear, and many more. While there are patients who are capable of dealing with the consequences of rape on their own, it is still recommended for everyone to seek the assistance of health specialists for evaluating the impact of rape on the individual for producing better patient outcomes. In this paper, the focus will be placed on the role of sexual assault nurse examiners (SANE) who provide comprehensive evaluations (forensic, medical, and psychological) of patients who have been sexually assaulted. Involving SANEs into treating rape victims is imperative due to their role in performing evaluations of patients’ conditions as well as in the collection of forensic evidence that can be later used in a lawsuit against the offender. Also, SANEs can contribute to resolving the problem of inadequate care for rape victims who often get blamed for what happened to them. Placing importance on the role of SANEs is of significance for nursing due to the array of benefits for victims since regular RNs or physicians are rarely qualified enough to perform complex forensic evaluations and collection of evidence, which may lead to errors and thus the decreased quality of care to patients. In addition, because SANEs are also trained in assessing victims’ psychological conditions, they can assist in referring patients to mental health specialists as well as be more understanding of what victims go through; emergency department workers may not provide the same level of emotional care since they often overlook the need of caring for patients not only physically. Therefore, the role sexual assault nurse examiners play is multi-faceted and has extreme value for nursing as a profession. Due to the complexity of emotional and physical issues that rape victims are forced to undergo during and post-assault, it is imperative to provide them with the assistance of medical professionals who were specifically educated to deal with cases of rape. Also, SANEs are also important for communities since the correct collection of forensic evidence can lead to the improvement of conviction rates of sex offenders. Overall, both patients and communities, in which they live, can benefit from the expertise that SANEs provide. Research Evaluation In this analysis, several research articles will be evaluated for underlining the important role that sexual assault nurse examiners play in caring for rape victims. According to the research conducted by Darnell et al. (2015), who studied factors that contribute to attendance and follow-ups among rape victims, stated that SANEs were usually “well received by victims” (p. 89). Involving SANEs into reinforcing the quality of care provided to rape victims is essential not only for initial evaluations but also for scheduling follow-ups that involve med
For the first scenario, the first-person point of view seems like an optimal choice, as the situation in question is connected to dep internal thoughts and processes. A day in which one has decided to change something important in their life is bound to be transformative and impactful, for whatever reason. By applying a first-person perspective, an author would convey the thoughts and feelings of their character (Pradhan, 2020). The specifics of the scenario effectively counter the usual faults of the approach, such as limited perspective and a potential lack of engaging activities within the narrative. Since the scenario is focused on an important and impactful day of a character’s life, there clearly is enough material for not being bothered by the second concern. Extra perspective is not needed since the narrator is focused on their individual motivations and choices. The third person would have very little advantage in this case since it is not well-suited for the examination of internal thoughts that don’t manifest on the outside. For the second scenario, a third-person narration would work better since the premise leans heavily on a specific event. An incident in the school received in a second-hand format would have to be described in detail in order for emotions and information to be conveyed properly. Third-person narration is beneficial for getting an overall look at the situation, in a way suspending a reader’s disbelief regarding the perspective’s limitations. The presence of a classmate-narrator is no limitation for the first-person narration but rather complements perfectly the approach’s descriptive style. The first-person perspective could, hypothetically, work in an outlined scenario, but it would negatively affect the capacity of getting a full picture of the incident. Reference Pradhan R.

The world of business is facing increasing competition due to the rising numbers of new entrants who share existing customers with present firms. It is therefore necessary that, firms that are currently in the market should constantly improve in response to the changing market and customer needs. This competition is also observed in the banking industry due to the emerging technologies and innovations like mobile phone and internet banking. These are the major threats in the industry and to get by, well formulated plans have to be put in place by existing banks 1 . Firstly, the bank should improve its public relations and customer service to be able to maintain existing clients. This can be accomplished by the provision of suitable and timely customer care solutions; in addition to that, necessary efforts should be taken to reach out to unwilling clients. The customer care departments should be highly efficient in service delivery to ensure customer satisfaction and loyalty. This builds a unique form of link between the bank and the clients thus the firm is able to create a strong customer loyalty 2 . Secondly, in order for the firm to maintain the existing clientele, the bank should be more active. For example, it should adjust the available bank loans and accounts, by adding more benefits on the holders like increasing interest rates on savings and bank deposits. Besides, launching a promotion based on every day deposits of cash in personal accounts, will keep the existing customers through the offer of attractive prizes and free samples. Additional products should be supplied to the market to raise extra capital, while those shares bought by the old clients should be sold to them at a discount to promote loyalty 3 . The bank should make sure that it carries out a complete over howl of its inside and outside environment to sustain its position in the industry. The over howl should involve Internal transformation and use of benchmarking as well as the involvement of independent system auditors to implement modifications. They perform an audit of the bank’s internal control system, and grade the firm in accordance to industrial standards like the ISO 900. These evaluations aid the firm in identifying its position in the industry in comparison to other similar firms. Furthermore, to exploit its strengths in the market promotes retaining the existing customers through providing unique products like mortgages with convenient repayment plans 4 . The customer needs should be the priority of management during planning and resources allocation. The management should also take up professional advice to improve service delivery to the clients and hire new professionals where necessary. Moreover, they may use risk managers who will advice the management during projects of any impending risks and how to manage and avoid them. The bank should put in place a plan to
Introduction Nowadays, many people do not find it necessary to pay much attention to wood and recognize its role in the world. However, wood is not only an important commodity that everyone can use but a significant natural resource that has to be stored and respected. It plays a prominent role in human life throughout history. At this moment, about 245 countries use 55 different food products (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2016). For example, India and China are the two greatest food producers and consumers where a large area remains under forests, and the United States has reduced its exports considerably (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2016). Despite the intentions to use wood in a variety of ways without thinking about consequences, wood has to be considered as a helpful natural resource with many positive impacts on the environment, human health, and well-being. Positive Impact on the Environment Wood as a renewable resource has a positive impact on the environment. In today’s world, “green” business gains recognition as compared to concrete and steel, wood helps to enlarge energy efficiency and minimize energy consumption (American Forest Foundation, n.d.). In addition, such important forms of fuel like fossil fuels cannot be renewed, and they may eventually run out and become unavailable to people. Other achievements like petrochemical-based plastics are frequently used as good alternatives to wood, but this material is also not renewable (“Wood and wood products,” 2002). Finally, the conversion of wood products requires a lower level of energy and pollution volumes than those of plastic or steel products creation (“Wood and wood products,” 2002). People cannot predict and control their petrochemical-based resources, and wood is a resource that may be renewed with time. Reduction of waste and pollution is another important benefit of wood as a natural building material in the environment. Pollutants may be of different forms and challenge the ecosystem in a variety of ways (Rinkesh, n.d.). Global warming, an increased number of diseases, and the quality of life are not the only evident outcomes of human civilization and modernization. People succeed in industrial and technological development without noticing how harmful their actions are to air, water, and soil. Air pollution occurs due to smoke from chimneys and factories (Rinkesh, n.d.). Water pollution includes industrial waste and severe contamination (Rinkesh, n.d.). From this perspective, wood waste is organic, and its utilization can be helpful to the environment. It is impossible to avoid or reduce the amount of waste from wood production. However, new outcomes are associated with waste because of wood. For example, people may employ leftovers as fuel to produce energy and wood ash as an effectiv
The number of the Americans who need long-term care is nearly 10 million. Long-term care refers to the aids given to those people incapacitated by poor health, disability, or old-age among other provisions. Such people demand special assistance for them to perform basic and routine activities in their daily lives. These incorporate bathing, movements, preparation of meals, and medical therapies among others. It is evident that most of such people attain free assistance from friends, families, and other dedicated relatives. Nonetheless, the government (both state and federal) has established various programs meant to provide the alleged long-term care. There is a considerable spending for specialized long-term care services. These incorporate nursing services, domestic care, and supported living services. It is crucial to consider such factors in the context of healthcare provisions. Long-term care is expensive for individuals with extensive needs. As at 2006, the annual cost for a private room in a nursing home neared US$70,900. Concurrently, the pay per hour for a home health averaged US$25. This indicates how such services have become expensive in the American context. These figures translate to $36,500 and $33,300 base rates annually for a four hour home care and private room services respectively. Precisely, the country spent US$194 on long-term care with the nursing home care registering a considerable portion. Medicaid is one of the prominent financiers of the long-term care. As at 2004, it accounted for nearly 49% of the total funding. Medicaid cares for poor individuals who meet up the eligibility standards. Each state is obligated to govern its own Medicaid programs; however, funding emanates from both the federal and state governments. Each state expects Medicaid to provide nursing home care as well as home health care for the eligible individuals. These incorporate medical provisions and therapy services. Nevertheless, any state might include personal care in its Medicaid programs. Additionally, all states presently provide home and community-based services in a program that promotes services to a specific and limited number of residents. DRA (an act) allows states to finance home as well as community-based services. Concurrently, the Medicaid spending on non-institutional care is growing tremendously. Conversely, Medicare program is intentioned to provide health indemnity/cover to individuals aged 65 and above as well as people with disabilities in this context. In 2004, Medicare funded 19% of national long-term care expenses. Medicare is not designated to fund long-term care services; nonetheless, it grants minimal pay to the mentioned services. In a skilled nursing facility, Medicare pays fully for the initial 20 days and partially in the subsequent 80 days. Additionally, it also funds home health care for homebound individuals demanding amateur professional nursing and therapy services. Nearly 19% ($37 billion) of the total cost of the long-term c
Introduction The Cuero Company manufactures shoes for the United Kingdom Market. Weihrich (2009) proposes that the report focuses on the marketing strategy of the company. The report focuses on generating findings and recommendations to improve the company’s current marketing policy. Details of Key Problem Areas Abele (2008) emphasized that there are key problem areas in the marketing aspect of the company’s strategic management plan. First, the company sells its products in the Dent store locations; the Dent stores are strategically placed in prime sites in 60 major towns and cities within the United Kingdom; the stores focus on in-house brands such as Savoy, Ritz, and Leathercraft. Second, the company caters to the military’s shoe needs. Third, the company sells shoes, accessories, and other leather products. Fourth, the company ventures into the mail order business; the business focuses on the shoes and accessories advertising using the services of the European media outlets. Fifth, the company engages in children’s shoes marketing. Sixth, the sales price incorporates high United Kingdom manufacturing costs. Seventh, the company focuses on selling more men’s shoes than ladies’ shoes. Eighth, the company sells limited shoe styles. Ninth, selling prices are instituted by merchandisers; selling prices are set at 100 percent profit. The company uses its own vehicles to transport the shoe products to the different shoe display stores within the United Kingdom. Tenth, the Kilsby shoes are sold at marginal cost prices. Changes That are Needed to be Made Product Bragg (2006) theorized that the company must implement some marketing changes to increase the clients’ demand for its products. The company must add additional shoe styles. The new shoe styles are based on the latest market segment trends. The company must increase the production of its ladies’ shoe brands to the same quantity level of the male shoe production data. The company must conduct a feasibility study to determine the current shoe trends. The company’s production must focus on filling the current and future shoe style demands. The company must reduce raw materials wastage to allowable levels. The reduction in raw materials wastage reduces production costs and increases the company’s net profits. Price Czinkota (2007) insists that the company must institute reasonable prices to increase its client base. The reasonable price is not the same as the lowest price. The reasonable price is not the same as the highest price. Rather, the reasonable price is grounded on the competitors’ prices, the company’s production costs, and the company’s profit policies. The company must deviate from its current marginal cost and merchandiser-instituted policies to generate higher revenues. Place Fisk (2006) opined that the company can enhance its marketing policy on location. The company should set up additional display shops to increase its current revenues. The company can se
Looking at Fromm’s Human Needs from a biblical viewpoint, these main aspects may be mentioned, relatedness, transcendence, rootedness, sense of identity, and frame of orientation. These human needs are considered by Fromm from the point of view of two sides, positive and negative ones. Reading the data devoted to these issues, it is possible to compare and contrast these needs and to present the way how people understand the need of their lives. Fromm is sure that people, apart from animals, are able to feel human needs with greater desire. Relatedness, transcendence, rootedness, sense of identity, and frame of orientation are human needs which are essential for people and they are unable to live without them. The discussion is based on the essential human needs and the way how people consider those pointing to the positive and negative components. Relatedness is connected with the desire of a person to be related to another person. People need to be close to each other. Family ties are too close. When people grow up, they are looking for those who they will create personal families with. Feelings are important for relatedness. People form their relationships on the basis of attraction to each other. However, there are cases when people appear to be together not because of attraction or another feeling, they just feel that need to be related to someone. However, Fromm states that the main negative feature of relatedness is the inability for people to be free. They need to be connected and therefore dependant on others. Transcendence is the next human need which is defined as “the urge to rise above a passive and accidental existence and into the realm of purposefulness and freedom” (Feist, 2009, p. 193). People come to this world without being asked and leave it also without personal desire. Rootedness is the desire to have home. People need to have this feeling as it gives them an opportunity to feel protected. However, when people have to search for better life in other countries, rootedness makes those feel melancholy. Sense of identity is the next human need considered by Fromm as one of the most important ones. Even though people have the need of rootedness and relatedness, they also have to remain individualities, free and separated from others. This is an entire need which guarantees a personality to remain an individual among other human beings. The frame of orientation is like a map in the unknown place. Having the guidelines how it is necessary to act, people still have the right to choose which way to go, whether to follow the directions or not. It should be mentioned that each of these human needs have positive and negative components. Relatedness gives people love, however, it also brings submission and domination. Transcendence provides people with creativeness, however, it also offers people destructiveness. Considering wholenes
Italy is doubtlessly among the countries that have the richest cultures resulting from their long and diverse histories. The contemporary Italian society, however, is hardly open to diversity, which results in dramatic underrepresentation of ethnical and racial minorities in the sociocultural environment. Furthermore, the local residents seek to preserve their authentic culture, which is done by means of replacing foreign phenomena with local ones and promoting the latter. Overall, what I learned from the unit is that Italians appreciate their cultural identity to such an extent that they find in normal to neglect different ones. A considerable part of Italian history is associated with colonialism, including race-based violence, which has determined a prejudiced attitude toward the black. Modern African-Italians are still not considered integral to the national belonging and remain in the background in all terms – social, political, and cultural. Nevertheless, the government does not recognize any form of racism, regarding it as a foreign problem, which is not critical in Italy. Being excluded encourages Afro-Italian population to make their presence known, in particular, through art. One of the best-known artists trying to draw attention to the status of blackness in Italy is the writer and activist of African origin Igiaba Scego. Thus, her latest novel entitled La linea del colore , which is The Color Line in English, describes the past, present, and desirable future of Italy. It comprises the tales of three black women whose lives illustrate that Italy quite tolerates racist perspective due to the specific mentality of a former colonial power. Scego insists that the formation of a new Italianness, which is apparently a recent trend in the local society, should include blackness as an intrinsic part of the history. The systematic dehumanization and enslavement that took place throughout the empire’s existence must never be forgotten. Considering the colonial past, Afro-Italians should be heard in the present and gain a full membership in sociocultural life of the country in the future. Meanwhile, Italian society is apparently not ready to integrate anything, which is not aligned with the image of Italy as a white Western country with unique traditions. The latter nuance is of special importance, as even cultural phenomena peculiar to other Western countries are not really welcome. Thus, Italians actively opposed the fast food culture brought from the USA, which they had perceived as a threat to the traditional local cuisine. The fear gave birth to the so-called slow food movement that then spread across the world and is not present in approximately 160 countries. The essence of that movement lies in consuming clean, high-quality food made from seasonal natural ingredients. In point of fact, everything Italy is known for is being carefully preserved and apparently seen by the locals as a marker of normality. For instance, everyone who has ever been to Rome was probably impressed by the chaotic driving even in the downtown.
