Client Description and the problem being addressed I am a worker at Bishop McGann-Mercy High School. My role is to work with clients, who are students, and ensure that they are comfortable at school. This task is quite challenging given that students come from various backgrounds. Currently, the student that I am working with is J.M. This client belongs to a family, and thus dealing with him concerns the family as well. The client’s family is comprised of the father, Mr. M; the mother, Mrs. M; and three siblings. The mother to J.M. is suffering from the bipolar condition, a fact that troubles my client very much (Healy, 2008). However, this is not the only problem that is affecting my client as he is showing deficiencies in various aspects of life. J.M was recently transferred from being home-schooled to attend a private school. Though J.M reveals that he is enjoying public school life, he at times finds himself struggling in the social and academic aspects. In this case, J.M has made very few friends but he is determined to improve the situation. J.M has also revealed that he has difficulties in certain subjects. He would also want to improve on this though he has very limited opportunities. J.M. also experiences some family problems in which the mother is sick and there is no harmony in the family. This aspect seems to trouble J.M too much. This situation will require a bio-psychosocial approach to address the challenges facing J.M (McLaren, 2002; McLaren,1998). Goals mutually agreed on between the worker and the client, and tasks to be performed to reach these goals After having received information regarding various issues affecting the client, it was important to look for a way to resolve the problems. I was supposed to work closely with J.M to develop attainable goals. The goals were threefold. These include improving the social life of J.M.; improve J.M’s relationship with his parents, especially the mother; and helping J.M. to improve his academic performances. All these goals could easily be attained with the corporation from the client. It was important to address the social problem that J.M was experiencing. This was a grave issue that needed to be addressed. J.M had indicated that he was willing to work out this problem. He had promised to get more friends at school. To make more friends, I suggested that J.M should get involved in as many activities as possible both at school and out of it. This will enable him to get acquainted with as many people as possible. By relating to as many people as possible, J.M. will be able to make many friends. This is because he will be forced to interact with many people thereby widening his social network. Since J.M. had the will to improve his social relationships, he will be able to participate in various activities that will enable him to achieve his social goal (McKenzie, 2008). Apart from participating in various activities with colleagues, it was also important for J.M to spend time with friends during the weekends. I asked him about this but he revealed to me that he hardly spends time with friends at the weekends. However, he promised to try and I hope that this wil
Coral reefs are the so-called rainforests of the sea; they represent the most diverse marine ecosystems, but they are at the same time in the greatest danger of extinction. The density of the coral cover has reduced by one-third to more than two-thirds worldwide within the past half of a century (Knowlton & Jackson, 2008). The frightening evidence of the devastating tendencies in coral reef reduction can be illustrated by the case of the coral cover of the Rio Bueno, a coral reef site on the North East of Jamaica – it lost from 40% to 70% of coral reefs within one month in 1980 because of the Hurricane Allen (Crabbe, 2007). The ruinous effect was recorded not only in the destruction of the major part of Acropora coral colonies, but in the limitations it posed on the recruitment and settlement of large coral colonies for a sustainable period of time after the disaster (Crabbe, 2007). As noted by Munday (2004), increased frequency and magnitude of coral bleaching is caused by global warming, resulting in further changes in the community structure of coral reefs on the global scale. The occurrences similar to the one of Hurricane Allen provide the indisputable evidence of the fact that there is a direct relationship between the increasing hurricane activity and global warming trends on the Earth. In addition, global warming causes the substantial rises in the high sea surface temperatures, which cannot help producing the further effect on the population of coral reefs and their resistance to the climatic change. Corals are very demanding regarding their habitat: they grow only within a certain limit of temperature, irradiance, salinity, Ph and turbidity. Hence, the changes in climatic conditions produced by global warming are certain to have the direct negative impact on the future of coral reefs (Crabbe, 2007). History of Global Warming The notion of global warming is far from being a new one as it was discovered and described as far back as in 1824 by the French natural philosopher Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier in his work General Remarks on the Temperature of the Terrestrial Globe and Planetary Spaces. Fourier investigated the processes occurring in the invisible dome covering the Earth, and accumulation of the Sun’s warmth as well as reflecting it partly back. Then, in 1890s, the second effort in defining the ‘hothouse’ effect was made by the Swedish chemist, the Nobel Prize winner, Svante August Arrhenius – he referred the rise of the earth’s temperature to the emission of fossil fuel products and their effect on trapping more heat in the atmosphere. His major contribution to the global warming theory was the recognition o
Introduction The relevance of labor unions is increasingly becoming diminished in various developed countries around the world. Many employers have realized that different employees have varying importance to their organization based on their skills and talents. Keating (2013) explains that many companies are currently willing to pay their top talents high salaries as a means of convincing them to stay with the firm for as long as they remain instrumental in their departments. A section of employees, especially the top talents, have also realized that trade unions are not representing their interests effectively. However, these emerging changes have not eliminated the relevance of trade unions. Thelen (2014) explains that these unions may be weakened by the emerging forces, but they are still playing a critical role in representing the interest of employees. It is argued that weakened unions in rich democracies play an important role in enhancing labor market dualism (Zhang, 2014). Even in emerging economies such as India and China, these unions tend to represent the insiders instead of the masses. In this paper, the researcher seeks to discuss whether the trade unions support the dualization process. When and How Unions Support Market Dualism The unions are often meant to represent the interest of workers who, as individuals, cannot voice their concerns to the employees with the desired results. However, a section of society now argues that these unions are playing a critical role in promoting market dualism. One of the ways through which this condition is promoted is by championing the minimum wage. As Keating (2013) admits, it is appropriate to ensure that the minimum salaries earned by individuals should meet their basic needs. If a person is spending much of his or her time working for a given company, the pay should be enough to pay the bills for primary needs based on the level of the economy. However, this approach that seems to focus on promoting fairness is also acknowledging the fact that the labor market is divided into two segments. The first segment has those who are permanently employed and earn relatively high salaries based on their skills and expertise. The second segment has semi-skilled individuals often hired in the informal sector or in large companies on a contract basis. They are the low-wage employees who need the protection of the trade union. When the unions fight for the increment of salaries for these low-pay individuals, they are validating the existence of the two segments of the labor market. They are affirming the decisions made by many companies to avoid hiring people on a permanent basis. This problem is very common in China and
Introduction The current windshield survey presents an observation of the Newark community. It includes the general introduction, windshield survey findings, definition of the vulnerable population and its problem, the determinants of the vulnerable status of the population group, and the opportunities that the community provides for this population. The conclusions to the survey are grounded on the nursing assessment of the community. Introduction to the Community This windshield survey was conducted in Newark, New Jersey. Newark is the seat of Essex County and one of the most populous municipalities in the country. As of 2016, its population was 281,764 people (“Annual Estimates of the resident population,” 2016). Newark is a growing city. In recent decades, its population of the city has observed an increase of 2.6% (“Newark, New Jersey,” n.d.). The community of Newark can be considered young. The average age of its citizens is 34.6 while the median age in the state, in general, is higher. There is no gender disproportion in the community with 49% of men and 51% of women. The average household income is only $30,966 while the average figure in New Jersey is $72,222 (“Newark, New Jersey,” n.d.). Despite some industries and manufacturing in the community, Newark has a high poverty rate. It is almost twice higher than the average around the United States and is estimated at 29%. The distribution of income is not equal among the ethnic groups that constitute the population of Newark. Thus, the surveys reveal that Asians of Newark have the highest salaries while African Americans belong to the poorest population in Newark with lower wages. Although the city of Newark has some attractions such as the Newark Museum, Prudential Center, or some festivals, it is not very popular among local or foreign tourists. Photographs of the Community Evidencing Observations Many US communities have similar social or economic problems. One of the concerns raising in Newark is childhood obesity. The observation shows that the problem is burning already for pre-kindergarten children. The hypothesis of this survey is that the obesity problem is threatening children from low-income families. Windshield Survey Findings Thus, the population observed in this Windshield Survey includes children from low-income families. The survey findings demonstrate that there are many overweight and obese pre-kindergarten children in the streets of Newark. Moreover, it can be stated that these children are from low-income families. These children are rarely found in sports or playgrounds. In most of the cases, they are walking somewhere with their parents who are frequently obese as well. Description and Demographics of the Vulnerable Population As of 2013, there were about 70,000 children in Newark (2015 Newark kids count, 2015). The children population of Newark is mainly African American and Hispanic. The vulnerable population for this windshield survey comprises pre-kindergarten children with obesity from low-income families. On the whole, the problem of obesity
Millions of people experience short-term unemployment each year, which last a couple of weeks, during their switch of jobs due to the flexibility to the job market. The labour markets are a major source of power for any growing economy, but some people suffer from unemployment for months. The long-term unemployment means that they have to seek subsequent sources of income and find alternative lifestyles to cope with joblessness. Causes of unemployment According to Jevons (31), unemployment often emerges when jobseeker leavers the labour force for greener pastures, but ends up not get the anticipated job. The job hunting process may become strenuous because when it takes too long to secure another place, the job seeker stops the search and considers other alternatives like self-employment project, or seeking odd jobs that are based on contract. Failure to complete basic education levels is another major cause of long-term unemployment. In line with Jevons (31), one in every ten people in the labour force, one in every six people who experience short-term unemployment and one in every five of those experiencing long-term unemployment in the United States are not high-school graduates. This is a clear indication that education is a major determiner of unemployment. People are often challenged by work based evolutions or economic growths. The changes are concerned with technology dynamism that requires people to upgrade their work skills
The scope of the research In this research project, the proposal will dwell on the strategies that the Apple Corporation uses in its bid to ensure optimal employee performance. At the beginning, the paper will provide an intrinsic proposal after which it presents the research problem. After this, the research will authenticate researches that have been carried out on the topic, besides presenting a comprehensive literature review to establish the present stand on the topic. Finally, the research proposal will deliver the final outcome which will be include recommendation on the best ways to overcome the problem and present the most appropriate alternative approach in implementing the proposed solution. Research background The research topic is the need to incorporate training and development as part of the human resource management policies of the Apple Corporation. Currently, the human resource management department does not have policies that reinforce training and development among the employees. In many jurisdictions, it is mandatory to have an independent training and development management function in an institution. Unfortunately, there are scenarios where the human resource management department of the Apple Corporation is not efficient and therefore, fails to take up key control issues in time. There is no proper schedule for periodic and continuous employee training and development within the Apple Corporation, which has a quantifiable module for tracking the feedback and level of engagement among the employees. As a result, it is almost impossible to monitor the performance of each employee against the set targets. Besides, the lack of training and development may be attributed to low employee morale and redundancy at the organization. It is necessary to establish the most appropriate training and development strategy for the Apple Corporation to monitor and micromanage its employee productivity. Research problem Despite the fact that the Apple Corporation spends several millions on training seminars and internal programs, the training modules have not been modified to fit within the organization’s corporate culture. This research paper will establish the most appropriate approach that the Apple Corporation should adopt to improve on its training and development strategies. The Apple Corporation will greatly benefit from appropriate training and development strategies, which translate into better employee development and client satisfaction (Modaff, DeWine, & Butler, 2008). Rationale of the research The need for employee efficiency in the Apple Corporation necessitates more research in the area of management styles and their impacts on organizational performance within the US. It is for this reason that the research will attempt to provide a framework for organizational performance as directly influenced by the type of management strategies at the Apple Corporation (Schraeder & Jordan, 2011). At the end of the research, the Apple Corporation, which wants to further improve organizational performance and increase its commitment to efficiency, will have mechanisms that it can use to decide on the most appropriate management
When discussing the domain of war, it is necessary to stress its ethical component. Almost any war implies mass and institutional violence, which has a purposeful character and assumes a strain between countries. It is crucial that this phenomenon is deeply rooted in history since wars have been perceived as the most common form of communication between states, which is confirmed by historical reality. However, this mode of interaction has also been regarded as a strongly negative format of interstate relations. The purpose of this paper is to provide arguments that a moral justification of war is impossible based on a critical discussion of theories supporting the ethical justification of warfare and prove that they have inherent contradictions and are likely to lead to further negative manifestations and consequences. In order to understand the arguments that make it possible to justify war from the standpoint of morality, it is crucial to analyze the history of this phenomenon. Initially, a war was considered acceptable if the participants in this process acted in accordance with the existing rules and had justified their reasons for unleashing the military conflict (Kovac, 2013). If these conditions were not followed, the conflict was considered barbarous. The distinction between a morally justified and an immoral war depended on the purpose of initiating it and the side against which the warfare was unleashed. Some experts in the field claimed that wars derived from the social order of the world (Kovac, 2013). For example, some theorists believed that war was a necessary state of humanity. Opponents of this position argued that people were benign beings by their nature who could come to unanimity without the use of force and violence. However, a social space and its structure pushed states to fight with each other. Although these beliefs were diametrically opposed, they revealed a general understanding of wars, which implied that they could be morally justified since they were a prerequisite for the development of the world. One of the fundamental approaches that consider similar arguments to justify the use of military action is realism. In this theory, the emphasis is placed on the political aims of war. The conduct of war is not only a seizure of territory and victory over the enemy but also an unsurpassed opportunity to have an impact on the opponent’s consciousness. Justification of war from this standpoint lies in social antagonisms that reach the level of interstate contradictions (Morkevičius, 2015). Consequently, in this approach, war has a rational explanation and is an inevitable given. However, when arguing whether or not realism allows justifying war from a moral perspective, it is necessary to note that this theory breeds such concepts as “war” and “morality” on different sides of the barricades (Morkevičius, 2015). Thus, a military action cannot be considered from the position of morality. Due to the fact that war is regarded in the context of political action and affects interests of state structures, realism cannot justify war from a moral point of view. Anot
Significance of Client’s History of Marfan Syndrome Marfan syndrome is genetically transmitted from one person to another, although a small percentage of people get it through gene mutation and not heredity. Symptoms usually vary and may affect several body parts, including arms and fingers, heart, and lungs. Thus, taking the client’s history of Marfan Syndrome allows physicians to determine the cause whether genetic or mutational (Carteron, 2017). The past recording also provides data regarding the patient’s unique signs as they vary from one person to another. The details can then inform the Licensed Practicing Nurse (LPN) on appropriate treatment approaches. Vital Signs of Marfan Syndrome and Reason The LPN should report the lower back pain as it is persistent and could indicate more internal structures complications as symptoms of the illness. Blood pressure of 174/90 is also very high and should be immediately reported for appropriate services to lower it. Monitoring of the heart rate can prevent heart and aorta issues that can block blood flow. The nurse should inform the pulsatile mass in the man’s abdomen. The symptom would indicate internal organ damage that may need emergency treatment. Significance of Pulsatile Mass The pulsation mass is an indicator of the condition of adjacent organs. Hence, the lump can be an essential symptom for the affected body organs (Carteron, 2017). LPB can diagnose the bump physically or interview the client about his condition. The details can further information on appropriate interventions to manage the situation. Treatment approaches can focus on options to decrease potential damage to the affected organ. The Purpose of IV’s and Bot IV Fluids IVs were used to lower pressure on the heart and blood vessels by blocking some hormones such as adrenaline in the nervous system. The hormones are also responsible for increased blood pressure. High blood pressure would be an indication of released adrenaline in preparation for exertion. The Resolution of Lowering Blood Pressure Lowering the blood pressure prevents damage to the blood vessels and heart, which can be life-threatening. Lowering blood pressure can also allow the nurses to rule out other conditions causing the infection. BP is also considered a vital emergency sign as it involves the heart’s activities.
