Introduction Adherence to medication plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving clinical outcomes. Medication adherence is usually reduced among patients suffering from multiple chronic conditions. For instance, in the case study, the patient is an elderly woman suffering from multiple coexisting conditions such as osteoarthritis, hypertension, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, and coronary heart disease. Medication Adherence The patient is not adhering to her medication regimen. This is because she expressed some concerns to the nurse about her medication that proves so. For instance, she is experiencing difficulties in purchasing, managing, and scheduling the intake of the medication. Moreover, she discloses that she does not always take the medications as prescribed. Finally, the elderly lady is taking a large number of drugs including herbal medications. Thus, judging from her age and the fact that she stays alone, it might be difficult for her to adhere to medication. Reasons for Non-adherence The two potential primary reasons for non-adherence comprise polypharmacy and poor management and scheduling of medication. Interventions to improve adherence The nurse could advocate for medication regimen management, i.e., management of polypharmacy. A combination of pills for multiple chronic conditions will be used to reduce the number of pills that the patient takes (Smith et al., 2016). On the other hand, scheduling and management of medication can be improved through the integration of clinical pharmacist consultation for the co-management of chronic disease (Wallace et al., 2014). This consists of education regarding dosage and the frequency of dosage, disease monitoring either through the telephone or in-person follow-up visits, and refill reminders. All the before-mentioned interventions primarily aim to reduce the daily pill burden.
Design Project Management Loy Yang Power Station power station depends on the combustion of brown coal to produce electricity, since substitute fuels are unavailable. This implies that the power plant had to come up with technological advances that could minimize the greenhouse gas emissions and work on longer term developments. To ensure high standards of environmental performance, the owners of the power station implemented fully integrated environmental management practises. The power station satisfactorily met the dust emissions requirements set by the Environment Protection Authority. The common gases emitted from the combustion of brown coal are sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ), carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of nitrogen (NO x ). The power station also satisfactorily met the limits set by EPA, regarding the emission of these gases (Elkington 2010, p 1). Construction: Quality Assurance/Quality Control The main strategies implemented to ensure minimal emissions from the combustion of brown coal are the reduction of emissions and storage of emissions. Loy Yong Power puts a lot of emphasis on improving the efficiency of the power plant. In doing so, the plant is able to improve the environment as well. The improvements have shown improvements as they have resulted in a decrease of greenhouse gases by over 7%, in the period between the year 2002 and 2006. CCS demands a variety of new technologies. It also requires a different legislative framework, other than the one used to regulate extraction. The implications of extensive use of CCS technologies includes: jurisdictional issues, leakage issues due to CO2 containment demanding regular monitoring, extensive planning, transport and storage access as well as the risk on the environment on the long term (Wu, Li, Hayashi, Chiba, & Li 2005, p 1224). The main focus of the Loy Yang Power station is in capture and storage of the emissions. The main challenges to this strategy include: problems related to long-term concealing of carbon dioxide in underground voids, operating costs of the carbon Capture and Sequestration technologies, reduced conversion of energy and the increased expenses due to transportation and technology requirements. The plant ensures controlled usage of water through monitoring programs. These programs also assist in reducing the effect of the water discharged to the environment from the power station. The positive results are attained by setting targets for all operations including the rate of discharge to the Traralgon Creek and the loadings for salt discharge (Wu, Li, Hayashi, Chiba, & Li 2005, p 1225). Performance and Operation These have been made possible through the integration of environmental and quality management systems. The initiatives include: the position held by IPM Loy Yang B as the EPA accredited licensee for the power station, integration of the
Recently, American citizens have witnessed a tendency of rising taxes (Blodget 1). This issue of rising taxes seems to have gained momentum, especially after the financial recession of 2008. Today, many Americans are concerned about the increasing tax levels. The issue of huge taxes can be associated with the reason as to why many people in USA are currently struggling in their daily lives, as they try to make use of decreasing disposable income. If one was to interview many Americans on the issue of taxes, there are high chances the response would be ingrained in the overall perception of how huge the tax problem is inflicting on Americans. A random survey of major USA households will likely reveal that a large number of people cannot afford basic needs; many people are loosing their homes because of taxes; and many people have accumulated huge debts as a result of high taxes. On overall, the spirit of entrepreneurship among Americans seems to be stifled by the ever-increasing taxes, and this makes it hard for many people to succeed in business. As it stands today, the issue of rising taxes is a problem that should not be given a blind eye (Blodget 1). There is need to enact changes that will result into change of the tax system and be more accommodative and less cruel to majority of Americans. This problem cannot be ignored, given its medium and long-term repercussions. The future of many Americans may be compromised, become bleak, and largely intolerable if the current tax system is not reformed appropriately. Increased taxes are perceived to be detrimental to the growth of economy in the sense that, increased taxes on income discourage majority of people from working, more so due to the fact that, they work a lot, pay much in taxes, and remain with little (Cohn 1). At the same time, as taxes paid by major manufacturers and industries increase, there is subsequent tendency to transfer the increased tax to basic commodities, a fact that discourages people from buying the commodities. This operates in a cyclic form, where increased taxes affect industries, and when industries feel the pinch, they pass the ball to consumers; when consumers find it impossible to cope up with the high prices of commodities, they reduce their purchasing power and when this happens, the larger economy becomes a victim, as it stifles and underperforms. However, as the issue of taxes draws reactions and far-fetch cry for reduction of taxes, another school of thought believes that reduction of taxes will generate numerous negative impacts to the American society. The line of argument on which this school bases its argument is that, taxes are needed to propel social welfare, and when taxes are reduced, then the society is likely to
When it comes to selling clothes retail marketing is never easy. Since most people have their own self-image, as well as the image of an ideal self, it is very hard to find a model that can help promote clothes to any kind of target audience. While it is clear that most clothes look well enough on slim models, displaying clothes only with the help of slim models will mean negligence and even infringement of the rights of large people; hence, the need to introduce larger models arises. Gender is another tricky aspect; putting a clothing item that suits both men and women on a female model can possibly avert the male audience from the given item. That said, it is necessary to figure out what influence different means of promotion have on the target audience. Research Methods Since the given research presupposes the analysis of the efficiency of the existing marketing methods carried out with the help of questionnaires, it can be considered that the basic method of the given paper is quantitative research. It is also worth mentioning that, to evaluate the efficiency of the current marketing strategy, extensive statistical data have been derived from the created questionnaires and conducted opinion polls. The research offers statistics on a number of demographic characteristics, as well as on the opinions of the chosen type of demographics. Participants Speaking of the participants of the research, one has to mention that the research was conducted among students. However, the opinion of the older people was also taken into account. Therefore, the age in the participants’ group varies from 18 to 78. Hence, the mean age of an average participant in the research made 28.5 years (SD = 16, appr.), which means that the number of the young people prevailed in the given research. The research was conducted in a mixed group; therefore, both men and women were invited to participate. It is also worth bringing up that each of the participants had to evaluate the look of each model, i.e., both the models of the same and the opposite sex. Of the total number of people, 36% were men (N=90), and 64% were women (N=162). Materials and Procedure It is important to mention that in the course of the research, the online server Qualtrix was used to analyze the research data. The study was carried out with the help of a mixed (quantitative and qualitative) analysis. The participants of the research were offered questionnaires to fill in. Later on, the answers were gathered and analyzed. Research Results Analyzing the research conclusion, one must mention that the expected results do not differ considerably from the ones obtained in the course of the research. A one-way ANOVA was used to analyze the differences in the answers of the research participants. As a reminder, the research revolves around two key variables, which are:  1. how a person rates him-/herself with respect to thin model selection (You thin);  2

Introduction Formula One or F1 is the highest category of single-seater auto racing authorized by the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA). Formula One is officially referred to as FIA Formula One World Championship. A Formula Season is composed of a series of cars referred to as Grand Prix racing on special built circuits and public roads. The mission of this marketing plan is to enhance China’s image, economy and tourism through promotion of Formula One. Background Grand Prix racing was initiated in 1906 and it become popular during the 20th Century. Negotiations over a Chinese Grand Prix started in early 1990s. The first circuit known as Zhuhai International Circuit was built in the city of Zhuhai but it was rejected by FIA due to non-compliance with some FIA standards. The first Grand Prix was finally hosted at Macau Grand Prix in 2004. Even though it was hosted for the first time in 2004, Formula 1 has not yet picked up a material following from China with fans being estimated at 79.9 million people. China has the potential of becoming one of the best hosts of this game if certain measures are put in place. Most of the fans in the country are upscale male and female youths (Erjavec, et al. 2012, p. 19). Market Analysis China has a population of about 1.344 billion people and is a strong emerging economy implying that the country could be a big market for the F1 sporting activity if marketed well (Stuthbury 2011, p. 26). Despite huge investments by the government that led to the hosting of the first Grand Prix in 2004, the game has not yet picked up when compared to other hosts like Spain. The game only attracts high hosting charges but less is gained in other areas. Most of these youths come from middle class and upper class homes where owning a car comes at an early age. The fans are driven by the desire for speed in addition to status and prestige associated with the game. They also seek exemplary circuit experience, value for money and a feeling of high status. This market segment is however still not fully tapped by the organizers of the Chinese Grand Prix ( Pricelist Formula 1 Chinese F1 Grand Prix 2013 , 2013, p. 5). The event organizers have so far been unable to attract enough corporate sponsors from China to be involved in the sport. Attendance in stadiums is also low despite efforts by the organizers to attract more crowds. At one instance in 2011, the cheapest ticket was being sold at a meager US $12 but the 260,000 required capacity was hard to achieve. Attendance has been declining over the years and hurting revenues in the process. This therefore means that it is not the price that was an issue. Many factors have to be considered especially the preferences of the people. Main competition arises from other established Asian countries such as Singapore, Japan and Malaysia in addition to European countries such as Spain. Unlike in China, these other countries have enough fans who enjoy the sport and also corporations in these respective c
The impeccable story of Cinderella still captures the reader’s mind with its fascinating plot. There are several versions of this fairy tale written by many different authors. This classic rags-to-riches tale makes all the girls around the world dream about such a love story with a happy ending. Behind the actions of the characters, there is a core of all the actual thoughts and motives. Even though the story is marvelous, it raises serious issues about trauma, hope, home, and childhood beliefs observed from the historical perspective. The story originates from China, consequently sprawling around the West, changing some aspects of the plot. Most versions of these fairy tales usually end on a consolatory note. However, Cinderella’s character varies from author to author: from kind and resourceful to vindictive and manipulative. Therefore, there are different historical perspectives on the Cinderella tale describing differences in characters’ behavior. In the German version written in the 19th century by the Brothers Grimm, she was a working child as her childhood turned into torture because she had to serve her stepmother and stepsisters, abandoning her wants and needs. The 19th century was characterized by the experience of using child labor. The vivid example is how Cinderella’s relatives saw her as a source of employment, who usefully contributed to the household while her stepsisters were paraded in front of her in pompous dresses. Therefore, Cinderella’s life is filled with traumatic experiences caused by her ill surroundings. This trauma conditioned by the influence of abusive relatives affected her self-esteem and social life. Despite being cast away, Cinderella kept working, persisting in her dreams and controlling her tactful character. On the other hand, she is described as a romantic soul because in the Chinese culture, where she was named Yieh-hsien, she had hope and faith that someday, her life would change. Back then, the Chinese considered children pure and innocent. She had a golden fish that reminded her of the deceased mother, but the stepmother killed the fish. However, Yieh-hsien kept on hoping to have a better future and believing in true love. Therefore, the role of hope can be identified throughout the whole tale, as it was Cinderella’s mover. The romantic child has a connection with nature and God, so we observe Cinderella’s friendship with the animals and a Fairy Godmother who shined on her endowing her a chance of meeting a charming prince. Cinderella’s childhood is also connected with her childhood beliefs about virtue and love, which historians say to be a sign of a romantic child. She believed in the universal kindness regardless of the person’s status. This fervent belief in human service is fueled by her faith in love, which can be found once. She also credited the truth and the ability of a person to be real self. Moreover, she can be described as a sacred child for her mother and father, who perceived her as a precious and fragile human. Such behavior is vividly depicted in Charles Perrault, written in the 17th century, because pe
Ramayana as an epic poem is full of symbols and metaphors. The symbols of nature are various, and have different meanings, depending on the context, but the key meanings of these symbols are life itself, and the beauty of the surrounding world. Introduction The ancient Sanskrit epic poem Ramayana narrates the journey by Rama, which lasted for fourteen years. The eldest of four princes, Rama was about to be crowned by his father-king in his place. Nevertheless, King Dasaratha, Rama’s father, had assured one of his three wives (not Rama’s mother) the fulfilling any of the two wishes as she had once saved his life. Kaikeyi, Ram’s stepmother, wished that her son was proclaimed as king but not Rama and that Rama should be sent into exile for 14 years. Heartbroken Dasaratha consented to her demands. Rama starts his journey and experiences numerous adventures. (Garratt, 1937). Rama obeys his father. Nevertheless, Sita as the ideal wife, and Lakshmana, as the ideal younger brother, insists on joining Rama in his exile living in ascetic conditions. In the forests, Rama and his followers undergo some interesting adventures. Disaster hits some of them for the last year of the exile. This happens in the apparition of Ravana. Actually, Ravana leaves them, until Shurpanakha his sister gets charmed by Rama. She aims to tempt him, nevertheless, Rama refuses and gets so irritated by her that he cuts off her nose. Shocked by this, Ravana decides to revenge on Rama and seizes Sita. Now starts the trouble. This happens in the Ravana’s forests, and Hindu belief, that everything is alive on this planet symbolizes, that it is dangerous to harm the children of nature. (King, 1993). Surely, Rama managed to get his wife back and kill Ravana, as the main character in the epic poem should always be the winner. Jungle, and the Symbols Actually, in the Ramayana, the word “forest” is used in one of the benefits asked by Kaikeyi of Dasaratha when she states that Rama should be sent for exile. This finally had positive consequences for the whole of humanity as Rama killed numerous demons including Ravana for the period of his exile in the Forest. Ramayana forests offered abode for Rama and his companions when they had to live in the forests. The trees have particular essentiality in Indian tradition. It is stated that a tree is the greatest instance of generosity as trees provide everything they have to others like fruits, flowers, leaves, roots, bark, and even a trunk. The trees tell humanity that people s
