There are six standards that dominate mathematical applications. They include proper understanding of the mathematical problem and patiently solving them. The second is the need for efficient and numerical reasoning, while the third is the division of ideas through a proper analysis of other people’s reasoning. The fourth standard is proper learning of mathematical systems, while the fifth is the appropriate use of relevant mathematical tools. The last standard is solving mathematical issues with accuracy (Common Core State Standards Initiative par. 1-3). While numerical standards are all about solving mathematical problems, English standards are all about comprehension. In effect, the rules require that the students participate in reading exercises, as well as other complex readings on matters about science and social studies. These standards challenge the students about what they have read through comprehension questions so that they can refer to their text. The action is meant to enforce deeper thinking, offer a better platform for problem analysis, as well as foster evaluation skills for student excellence in all areas of life. The initiatives of the Common Core State Standards are centered on the creation of an instructional framework that promotes proper instructions and guidelines for students. The critical purposes of the standards are also translated into its goal, which is to ensure that students achieve individual learning goals at the end of each learning year (Common Core State Standards Initiative 2). Ideally, the standards foster both learning and application of the learning outcomes to promote high educational and literacy levels (Mathis 2). Overall, this initiative looks towards the creation of national educational standards that propel students to acquiring skills and knowledge to promote their success at the global platform (Kendall 1). Differentiation instruction is an im
The problem Human resources are essential components for the successful running of any business. Business outcomes directly correlate with how members of an organization associated with their peers, juniors, and seniors within the organization, and with other stakeholders like consumers and suppliers. Interpersonal relationship issues are often called people problems because they do not have business roots. Interpersonal relationships are important aspects of a person’s life because they are part of the parameters that a person could use to measure his or her life (Christensen, James and Karen 23). Interpersonal relationships are also important for a business to business relationships (Woodside 25). It has been shown that people develop perceptions about situations and other people based on their experience. People tend to have negative or positive perceptions of people or situations (Firestone and Joyce 87). This could lead to reduced or increased perceptions of an individual, the other person, or an event. Research demonstrates that organizations whose personnel have interpersonal relationship issues rarely achieve their business goals and objectives. Personnel who have constrained relationships with other personnel cannot work to attain their personal and organizational satisfaction. Such workers would not associate freely with their seniors to make them aware of production or operation issues in their areas of duty (Firestone and Joyce 45). The bad relationships are often translated to affect customers, suppliers, and the public in the surroundings. Customers, suppliers, and the public are crucial stakeholders of an organization who contribute to its success. When customers feel that they are not relating well with an organization’s workers, they tend to purchase products and services from other businesses whose employees value interpersonal relationships. This could hurt the business, which could be reflected by reduced sales. An organization’s suppliers who feel that they are not relating well with an organization’s employees may stop supplying crucial products to the organization. This could imply that the organization could run out of the raw materials and products that the suppliers were supplying. The public also plays crucial roles in shaping the image of an organization because members of the public express their feelings about their association with employees of the organization. If they do not relate well, the public tends to send a bad corporate image about the organization, which negatively impacts its operations (Firestone and Joyce 57). Demonstration Research demonstrates that organizations are charac
Just like an adult, a child undergoes some experiences that later determines the kind of behavior they attain. It is worth noting that for a child to be able to live and co-exist with other people in his /her adult life then the experiences the child goes through will determine if the child is able to successfully live normally or have difficulties struggling to always survive in this world. Childhood experiences are vast and are different in terms of the age bracket, gender, lifestyle and so many other reasons. It should be noted that this experiences could mean self destruction to one self or simply the opposite, self constructive. The thing with self destruction is that, for a child to reach this point, it may be may be because the amount of stress the child is handling is quite too much to handle. The experiences especially the negative ones are core reasons a child would result to self destructive behavior like suicidal attempts which are associated with aggressive behavior, depression, anxiety, substance abuse especially among the young people. Self destructive behavior can also be termed as deliberate self harm (DSH). This term has been used to describe various acts that cause or inflict pain to the human body to an extent of even causing some kind of body deformation and in extreme cases this actions may lead to death. The most ever outcome of these actions is compete lose of life. DHS is commonly known to cause future suicidal attempts, what dominates this kind of behavior includes being social-economical disadvantaged, gender researchers found out the female gender are the most affected, having psychiatric disorders, adverse childhood, sexual and physical abuse with an inclusion of other family circumstances like living in a broken family. according to (Zlotnick et al., 1996; Zoroglu et al., 2003) The report tries to compare the association between a child’s past experience and the effect it imposes on the child in terms of the child going to the extent of being involved with the self destructive kind of behavior. The reports analysis both the individual factors and the environmental factors that are said to be risk factors contributing to the mentioned behavior. According to several researchers who have researched upon this issue, childhood experiences associated with child abuse have mostly been known to cause an individual to result to self destructive behavior. The particular individual is said to particularly perform self harm during the adult stage. Evidence show that there is indeed a relationship between childhood sexual abuse and inflicting of self harm during adulthood. Beautrais, Joyce, Mulder (1996) argue that this kind of abuse may be in form of physical, emotional or sexual abuse. The studies point out sexual abuse like rape as one of the most common reason given by individuals who result to self-harm. Most of them result to inflicting pain to themselves as a way of expressing their anger and inner feelings. Another chil
Introduction Russia is a large country with the widest length spanning about 8000km along geodesic line bordering Poland on one end and Kuril Islands on the farthest southeast. This country spans 9 time zones. Most parts of this county consist of vast stretches of plains to the south while to the north it is heavily forested. It also has mountain ranges along the southern borders. This country also has one of the world’s largest surface water resources with thousands of rivers and inland water bodies. In 1991 a first direct presidential election was held in which Boris Yeltsin worn to become the president. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union many reforms were carried out such as market and trade liberalization, privatization among other changes recommended by the International Monetary Fund and United States under the banner of shock therapy. This resulted in a major decline of the economy with the GDP and the industrial output dropping by up to 50%. Privatization of the then state enterprises resulted in the acquisition of the same by very powerful and corrupt individuals in the country who were well connected politically. These people plundered the country’s economic resources taking with them billions in cash and assets out. This led to the sudden collapse of social services and plunging it into poverty that saw its rise from 1.5% during the soviet era to 39 – 49% by mid-1993. Violence, criminal gangs, lawlessness and corruption became the order of the day. With its population half of the former USSR, this country took the sole responsibility of settling the USSR’s external debts. Its huge budget deficit further plunged the country into financial crisis in what became the 1998 Russian financial crisis. President Yeltsin then resigned on 31 December 1999 handing over power to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin whose leadership style has been credited with the return of order and stability to the country. During his years as president, the country has continued to experience economic growth and increased influence in the world stage. ( Russia ) For straight 9 years, the county had one of the fastest growing economies in the world that resulted in improvement of the living standards of the average citizens. “This strong economic performance had been a major factor in the popular support that the Russian leadership enjoyed and was also arguably a factor in the boldness with which that leadership reasserted Russia’s status as a world power, challenging the United States, Europe, the neighboring former Soviet states in economic and national security areas (Cooper).” However, in the recent global recession, its economy was hit hard resulting in the abrupt end of its decade long economic growth whose GDP was rising at the rate of 6.9% annually. Russia had a population of about 142.9 million by august of 2011. It has a low life expectancy compared to the more developed western nations including the European nations. According to a UN report, its population faces a decline, with an expecte
Introduction Cultural symbols are often images that embody specific ideas amongst the populace thus denoting the culture of that group. These may range from national flags, buildings, monuments and the like. Usually, cultural symbols have an emotional appeal because they have the capacity to motivate and appeal to a wide range of people. The United States has a diverse population and there is a need to bring together these variant groups through a cultural symbol synonymous to the entire nation. The white house has been instrumental in achievement of this objective from the early nineteenth century. History of the white house President George Washington is credited with the idea of the white house. In 1790 this leader announced that there would be a residential area for all subsequent US presidents and their families and that this would be in Pennsylvania Avenue. He was responsible for selection of the architect who would build this historical building. Ten years later, the building was completed and the first president moved in. There were several changes that the building underwent especially after the 1929 and the 1814 fires that took place. Some parts of the building have been altered but the main section remained as it was originally (Whitcomb, 33). How the white house acts as a cultural symbol The white house is quite easy to recognize in Washington DC. It architectural design is rather simple when compared to other national buildings. However, it is this simplicity that has endeared it to a number of people. The founding fathers had intended for it to be that simple because they probably felt that this would be a representation of the principles and ideals that they had in mind for the United States. When one sees an image of the white house, the first thought that is likely to come to one’s head is it is a residential home for the head of state. In other words, citizens often view this building to be synonymous with leadership because this is where the nation’s leader resides. In essence, this can be translated to mean liberty and democracy in that the country has a leader who was elected democratically by the people of the United States and the place where he resides therefore captures these values. To many, the white house symbolizes power or the ability to control and influence such a large nation as the US. The white house is able to trigger these deep associations because of plenty of reasons and one of them is its history. The white house was first completed in 1800 but its beauty was soon to be interrupted in 1814 when British soldiers came and burned it. However, it was rebuilt with even better improvements. With time, a number of features kept being added such as the wings, green houses, offices and the like (Johnson, 83).
Confidence in Findings of the Report The investigators in this study are qualified and highly reputable as far as matters related to healthcare are concerned. This is attributable to the fact that all of the four authors have healthcare knowledge from reputable institutions in Canada such as Northern Ontario School of Medicine, School of Nutrition, Ryerson University, University of Health Network Diabetes Education Center, Toronto, and the University of Guelph for the case of Mathew, Gucciardi, De Melo and Barata, respectively as provided towards the end of the article. This article is published in a referred journal, the BMC Family Practice. Statement of the Problem The phenomenon of interest is clearly identified with the researcher providing rationale for the choice of the qualitative approach in this study. According to Mathew et al. (2012), such an approach was based on the fact that studies in this area are limited and thus, there is a need to provide an explanation of the self-management experiences of diabetes from a wide view. In addition, the philosophical underpinnings of the research are described. Purpose The authors of this article make the aim of conducting the research explicit by highlighting that the purpose was to gain understanding of the various differences, challenges, and specific needs for men and women who have Type 2 Diabetes with regard to the self-management of diabetes (Mathew et al., 2012). The researchers describe the projected significance of the work to nurses by citing that the findings from this research can be used to inform gender-sensitive diabetes, support, counselling, as well as care. Design The researchers align the study design used to collect data with the purpose of the research. The qualitative research approach for this study is appropriate as far as addressing the phenomenon of interest is concerned. Sampling The researcher describes the process of selecting the study participants. The study used the mixed methods sampling approach with the emphasis on interviews and focus groups. Such an approach was appropriate for this study given that the interest of the researchers was to ensure that they have a sample comprising of wide variations in terms of culture. As such, the mixed methods sampling technique ensured that the study got a significantly representative sample by focusing on individuals who attended the focus group, as well as interviewing others who did not make for the focus group (Mathew et al., 2012). With such a wide target for the sample group, the sampling technique can be considered to have been beneficial for this study. In addition, the choice of the sampling strategy was important for the study in that the right informants were chosen for the research with regard to their experiences in self-managing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Data Collection The data collection process of this study focuses on human
Introduction An overview of the current public school system in this country reveals an undeniable fact. The public school system is geared towards the acquisition of measurable skills, especially those that are related to math, engineering, language, and various branches of science. Children are trained to master the skills related to these topics. However, current research findings uncovered that mathematical abilities and technical knowledge are not enough to succeed in the real world. Education experts are saying that health care professionals should not only focus on the intelligence quotient, they also need to focus on Emotional Intelligence. How Emotional Intelligence Enhances Leadership Skills Daniel Goleman was credited as the first person to define the rudimentary principles of Emotional Intelligence (“EI”). Goleman asserted that AI is the individual’s capability to recognize and understand the emotional aspect of human relationships (Cassady & Eissa, 2008). When the EI concept became popular, theorists described it as the capability to monitor and manage feelings (Cassady & Eissa, 2008). It is also the ability to distinguish the impact of emotions in the life of the individual (Cassady & Eissa, 2008). Goleman pointed out that those who focused on IQ oftentimes struggle at work, however, those with modest IQ found ways to succeed in the workplace. Goleman made the connection between EI and work performance. He said that a high EI quotient enables the individual to reap the benefits of self-control, persistence, and motivation. This framework is supported by the findings of other researchers. Mayer and Salovey pointed out that there is a relationship between emotion and cognition. They also asserted that EI assists the individual in integrating emotions into his thought process (Salovey, Brackett, & Mayer, 2007). It was Reuven Bar-on who coined the term Emotional Quotient (“EQ”), and this concept enabled people to understand EI as a capability like reading and writing. Bar-on asserted that there is a connection between EQ and social knowledge. He pointed out that EQ enables the individual to adapt to the challenges of the social environment (Emmerling, Shanwal, & Mandal, 2008). Nurses Working in the Emergency Department EI enhances leadership skills because the leader understands how to read emotions and make adjustments based on the perceived emotional state of the subordinate. For example, the proponent of this paper works as a nurse in the emergency department of a busy hospital is subjected to different types and levels of stressful situations. In most cases, emotions are frayed and people are not able to function well because of the impact of the workload. As one of the nurses working with a team of health workers, EI enables the proponent of the study to empathize with co-workers’ struggles. If the proponent of this study failed to understand the deeper implications and deeper root cause of the problem, the negative emo
Results In the case of Etihad Airways, the operational links between the different subsections of the organization depict the performance of the airline. Within just 10 years, Etihad has risen to the same level as other airlines that have been in operation for over a century. Operations management in the air travel industry is a complex process (Slack, Chambers, & Johnston, 2010). It entails forecasting, capacity planning, scheduling, managing inventories, quality assurance, locating facilities, employee motivation, and training among many others (Stevenson, 2005). However, Etihad Airways has endeavored to ensure that it takes care of every detail with utmost precision. In its short history, Etihad has scooped ‘The World’s Leading Airline’ award for four consecutive years (Center for Asia Pacific Aviation, 2013). It first won the award after operating for only five years and ever since, it has stayed at the top spot every year. This implies that the airline offers quality services to its passengers. In the line of expansion, Etihad Airways has grown its passenger base from 340,000 in 2004 to 10.29 million in 2012 (Center for Asia Pacific Aviation, 2013). The exponential growth of customers makes Etihad to be one of the fastest growing airlines in the history of aviation globally. It currently serves 86 passenger and cargo destinations on its own with a fleet of 159 aircraft (Etihad Airways, 2013). It runs an ambitious expansion program, which has seen it acquire 2.987 % stake in Air Lingus the Irish national carrier, 29.21 % stake in Air Berlin Germany’s second largest airline, 10.5% in Virgin Australia, and is soon increasing the stake to 19.9 % and 40 % stake in Air Seychelles (Center for Asia Pacific Aviation, 2013). It also runs a capacity enhancement program that will give it the capacity to handle 40 million passengers by the year 2030. Etihad Airways has divided its global business operations into six geographical regions, which are each presided over by a regional vice president (Etihad Airways, 2013). These include the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, the UAE and Oman, Asia Pacific North and the Indian Subcontinent and Asia Pacific South and Australasia (Center for Asia Pacific Aviation, 2013). Under these heads are sales teams in every market that Etihad operates. Besides such a team, Etihad also cooperates with its affiliates, which include Etihad Holidays, Hala Abu Dhabi, and Etihad Cargo among others to ensure that it delivers premium services to its customers. In other arrangements, Etihad also runs facilities that enable it to maintain contact with its customers at levels, and thus acquire a good public image. Such facilities include Global Contact Centers, Etihad, and Global Accounts that dedicated global sales teams operate and offer services in 15 different languages to accommodate all. Etihad Airways is thus an airline that has gone to great lengths in ensuring that its services surpass the expectations of clients. Discussion Efficient management of operations has the potential to place a
No police academy course is complete without the lesson on policing principles established by Robert Peele. As Britain’s Home Secretary and Prime Minister, he was one of the most influential people in 19th century England. His work focused on working-class issues, social reforms, and criminal law. Most notably, Robert Peele created the “Metropolitan Police” based on his own nine principles of policing (Nazemi, n.d.). This guide is centered around the idea of policing by consent. This notion has been very influential as police officers started to be regarded as citizens equal in their standing to other people. They exercise their powers legitimately only with the implicit consent of the citizens they are required to serve. Thus, it is evident that the value of such an approach has been tremendous. Policing became a legitimate practice in the eyes of the public. In addition, ordinary citizens now had the right to keep policemen accountable, which maximized integrity and transparency. The focus of Peelian principles is on preventing crime and not necessarily catching criminals in the act. As a result, integrating such standards into practice led to departments becoming more proactive and community-oriented. In order to successfully prevent criminal activity, the police have to gain public support, which makes it important for policemen to ensure community members are involved in policing. They can do that by earning respect through demonstrating achievements such as low crime rates and upholding established standards. The value of Robert Peel’s approach is even more prominent today. As the United States tries to grapple with the rise of police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement, abolishing the police is not a sustainable solution, while investing in developing community initiatives in POC neighborhoods is.
