Disaster preparedness is an important part of health care workers’ training that should be a priority for the medical community (Schultz et al., 2012). Nonetheless, there is still much need for establishing core competencies standards that would drive course development. This paper will explore the role of nursing competencies and scope of practice in disaster responding. Organizations providing public health care have been concerned with the creation of education programs that would allow the provision of better care for disaster victims since the tragic events of September 11, 2001 (Schultz et al., 2012). To this end, numerous training instructions and curricula have been developed. Their emergence has been fuelled by the increase in federal funding over the last decade (Gebbie et al., 2013). However, taking into consideration that there is no consensus concerning requirements for health care education in case of mass casualty events, the effectiveness of those programs can hardly be established (Schultz et al., 2012; Gebbie & Qureshi, 2002). According to a recent study, no evidence would confirm that federal investment has brought positive results in the area of emergency response training (Potter, Miner, & Barnett, 2010). Competencies based training of health care professionals need a broadly accepted set of standardized core skills, knowledge, and attitudes that would help to evaluate existing teaching methods (WHO, 2006b). It will also help to make federal spending on the nation’s health more effectively and will increase accountability for emergency preparedness (Gebbie et al., 2013). Therefore, developing such a set of standards would be a significant step forward and will benefit both academia providing medical education and the general public (WHO, 2006a). Moreover, the implementation of a unified program of core competencies would translate into making the community recovery process much easier thus helping the health
Buddhism is one of the largest religions in the world. It is quite different from other world religions. For example, almost all religions have a God who is a sacred spirit. Buddhism has Buddha, who was a man reached nirvana. There are several “types” of Buddhism that are now considered different religions: Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. However, all these religions are based on one teaching and have common principles. In the article by Tenzin Gyatso “Many Faiths, One Truth”, author discusses this question comparing the basic principles of Buddhism with basic principles of other religions. The author claims that there is not the best religion, all world religions teach people the same basic virtues but interpret them in different ways. Thus, it can be summarized that Buddhism is related to other religions of the world in spite of all its peculiarities, consequently, all “faiths” share “one truth” that is universal for all people. The article by Tenzin Guatso is devoted to the exploration of different religions and comparing them to Buddhism and its basic principles. The author writes about situation in the Middle East and Europe. He says that there are still fights between representatives of different religions. However, apart from these conflicts, there is also a tendency for globalization and tolerance, “peoples and religions become ever more entwined” (Gyatso). The author finds common things in Buddhist’s and Christian’s religious ideas, myths and rituals, thought, these religions were considered to be absolutely different. Finally, the author estimates that harmony is the “essential ingredient” of all religions and it is a guarantee of the welfare of all nations. Giving a response on this article it should be mentioned that the author discusses one of the most urgent questions of the modern society concerning questions of religion. According to Bailey and Fisher, “traditional cultures and religions naturally assumed their own points of view…Every culture saw itself as the center of the universe.” (2). However, the truth is that the world’s nations seek to uniting. And the same thing can be said about religion. Moreover, a proper analysis of different religions proves that the standpoints of all these religions are common. For example, Buddha teaches to lead a pious life and live in piece with nature and people around. In addition, one of the core ideas of Buddhism is the theory of emptiness, which means that all things around are out of importance and the aim of everyone is to reach “nirvana”. The same assumption (but in different words) can be said about a core idea of Christianity: one should lead a right life in order to go to Heavens after the death. Gyasto supports this idea in his article when suggesting the example with “compassion”. He say
Modernism and Postmodernism are the most vivid movements in art and design of the 20 th century. Modernism with its concentration on the exact forms and lines appeared as the reaction to the traditional vision of art and design of the 19 th century with references to interesting forms and luxurious objects. Postmodernism which developed in the post-war period rejected the main principles of Modernism and combined all the lines and forms to make the imaginative product of art and design. The era of Postmodernism in art and culture is associated with the middle years of the 20 th century when the top point of its development in design is the 1980s. It is the period when the representatives of the Memphis Group in Italia shocked the public with their postmodern vision of objects and products. Ettore Sottsass is discussed as the most prominent figure of the Memphis Group, and he designed the most provocative elements of furniture which are considered the vivid examples of the postmodern design now. The success of Ettore Sottsass’s Olivetti Valentine typewriter, Carlton bookcase, and Tahiti lamp can be explained with referring to the fact that developing his works, the designer followed the major principles of Postmodernism which attracted the public with their controversy and presented his specific vision of the space and role of objects in it. Ettore Sottsass’s works and Postmodernism To analyze the peculiarities of Ettore Sottsass’s works effectively, it is necessary to pay attention to the major principles of Postmodernism in the sphere of design. It is also important to note that the discussion of Postmodernism should be realized with using the notions of ‘principle’ and ‘tendency’ rather than ‘rule’ or ‘norm’ because the ideology of Postmodernism rejects the idea of using any rules for creating the object of art and design. The objects of the postmodern design astonish the public with their expressive visual characteristics and with the combination of the lines, forms, and materials which are not traditionally used together. The ideologists of Postmodernism often state that this movement is based on the freedom of expression and evokes a lot of people’s emotions. Those combinations which can be perceived as absurd contribute to creating the specific harmony of Postmodernism. Thus, the forms and colors of the objects are rather radical and too vivid, and they can seem to be exaggerated by the designer or their contradiction can be used to accentuate the controversy of the designer’s idea. Moreover, the style of postmodern designers including the representatives of the Memphis Group is based on the principle to see something extremely unusual in ordinary things. Ettore Sottsass and the other Italian designers organized the Memphis Group in 1981. The members of the group specialized in working out the pieces of furniture
Professional ethics is a system of moral standards and moral principles inherent in a certain professional community, which performs the functions of regulating the interaction of specialists in the professional environment, determining the individual’s attitude to professional activity, his or her responsibilities, and duty to society, and also adapting to specific professional situations. The key professional role and purpose of counseling providers are to assist and guide their patients during their recovery and rehabilitation periods through deliberate communicative measures and psychological understanding. Evidently, the specifics of diverse types of professional activity determine the existence of various options for professional ethics: legal, medical, and engineering. Such a variety is determined by the fact that the functioning of generally accepted ideal moral standards in specific types of labor and professional activity is associated with a constant departure from them. Such derogations are associated with dominance or discrimination in the professional activity of certain general cultural, moral principles or principles. The policy of secrecy of the client (patient), on the contrary, dominates other moral and ethical principles in medical and legal practice. In fact, professional ethics legitimizes a certain type of deviant norms, which is determined by the specifics of professional activity. In addition, an individual’s values, beliefs, and cultural background should not act as a lens, which can be used to judge or discriminate against the patient. The counseling specialist should adhere to the common standards and moral objectives in order to ensure that a wide range of clients can feel secure and comfortable during the process. Wellness activities should be encouraged and promoted by professional counseling because it demonstrates one’s professionalism and ethical strength. Both ACA and CRCC moral codes are an excellent standard to adhere to due to the fact that they contain an essential point of professional behavior.
Brief History “Winches are lifting, hauling or holding devices in which a tensioned rope is wound round a rotating drum “(Purohit & Purohit, 2006). Typically, power winches are mechanical devices used for pulling or adjusting the tension in a cable. Winches have a history dating back to the 4 th century before BC. Historical Winches were made of wood and were mostly used for tightening cables or ropes across bridges. There is scantly information about the origin and history of winches, but the earliest records by Herodotus of Halicarnassus indicate that wooden winches dominated the architectural form as was referenced by Aristotle and might have been in use by the Assyrians at the that time for several purposes and particularly for tightening ropes used on bridges. Little is mentioned about any different varieties of winches at the time. However, it is crucial to note that winches played a significant role particularly in tightening cables to improve the tension in the wires that were used across bridges. Application Winches are designed to increase the tension in a wire or rope to give it the mechanical properties suitable for use in different lifting settings. Typical uses for winches include theatre lifting, in water treatment tensions, suspensions, sports rooms, and transport trailers. In this case, winches have the mechanaical properties that make them safe, a high capacity in this case of over 2 tons, and easily maneuverable. In addition, winches should have corrosion resistant properties where materials. Winches come in various forms and applications. Industrial winches are among the types of winches with different applications based on each type and specifications. Typical examples include Capstan winches which are used in marine operations and can be “are powered manually, electrically, hydraulically, or pneumatically”. The mode of operation of the Capstan winches is that they accommodate a structure that allows for a line to be released at an angle from the drum with the drum positioned vertically while it is used horizontally. Another type of winches is the Friction winches. Friction winches are designed with two large friction drums with a larger drum that for rope storage. The two other drums are used for running the line. Another type is the hand winch that is designed for use in light weight applications. The winch functions by use of a manual device with a handle having a barrel with an axis that acts as a fulcrum. In this case, gears used fall into a number of categories. The gears include planetary gears mechanisms which are usually of low cost, have a compact size, provide smooth operation, and of low weight. Planetary gears suffer from the disadvantage of spooling of the drum which increases the operating temperature, and require the use brakes. Other are where winches are applied includes in oilfields, military, automotive industry, mining, marine, recovery, and in the construction industry. A typical example
Abstract The purpose of this research proposal will be to discuss American foreign policy in the Middle East. The influence of the United States has been felt largely in the Middle East despite there being large physical distance between the two countries. The US law and policy makers have come up with various policies that are used to govern the Middle Eastern countries especially when it comes to oil and other natural resources that are found within these countries. The research proposal will therefore look at the various American policies that have been put in place within the Middle East by first introducing the topic under study and then conducting a brief discussion of American foreign policies and their relation to the Middle East. The research proposal will also develop a problem statement as well as aims/objectives for conducting the research. A literature review will thereafter be conducted on the various types of literature that contain information on the topic that is understudy. The research strategy and methodology for the research will also be formulated and the limitations for the study will be identified and discussed. Introduction Since the 20 th century, the US has had a global interest in various countries based on their economic wealth and their ability to produce natural minerals or resources that can be used in building the global economy. The US has continued to have a strong influence in the Middle East and in every country that exists within the Middle Eastern boundaries. This influence has mostly been attributed to the growing American economic interests within the region especially in oil and natural gases. Such economic interests have motivated US presidents and policy makers to create foreign policies that will be used as intervention strategies within the region. The Middle Eastern countries that have been focused on by the US include Iran, Iraq, Israel, Palestine, Afghanistan, Egypt and other Gulf states that are part of the Middle East. The foreign policy of the United States is defined as the policy that is used by the country to interact with foreign countries and nations based on outlined standards and guidelines that are used to perform the interactions. The country’s foreign policy is estimated to have a global reach of over 100 countries a
Introduction Unemployment can be defined as the condition where citizens of a country are jobless and have in the recent past been involved in searching work without a success. Unemployment rate can be defined as the prevalence of unemployment opportunities in a country. The unemployment index is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by the number of individuals in the labour force (Arestis & John 15). I have chosen the unemployment situation because of the increasing and prevalent unemployment rates in various countries. Recent statistics indicate that, the rate of unemployment is on the increase and there is a lot of information to cover the complex area of unemployment. There are various reasons which cause unemployment in a country. The following are some of the reasons that cause unemployment rate in a country (Arestis & John 20).   * Advances in new technologies. New technologies to a large extent replace the human labour force which renders most human beings as unemployed.   * Population increase. The level of unemployment is believed to go up as population in a country increases. Increase in population leads to an increased pressure on the available resources. These limited resources are few and cannot accommodate the increasing demands of the population   * National policies. Some countries have stringent national policies that favour the increase in the unemployment levels in a country. These national policies will always restrict the participation of certain gender groups in specific employment sectors. For example, some countries restricts the participation of women in many employment sectors especially the building, and construction sector.   * Political environments also play a major role towards i
Construction entails the accumulation of materials and energy for developing the structures and building for individual or institutional use. Assembling and erection of structures apply diverse techniques depending on the industries. The Opera building readied for construction in Paris will take fourteen years to complete. There will be unavoidable challenges during the construction process in the now and in the future. Similar to other existing buildings, Opera will experience its own challenges. Reasons for constructing Opera include purposes to contact ballet. Each house in the building will have a distinct design and a well-defined social character. For a construction process to occur successfully there must be construction techniques, form, materials used, styles, expressions, and responses to the site. Constructing Opera will be a process of making informed decisions in terms of dealing with challenges and observing the construction process in detail. My main aim is to initiate a unique and detailed design that will accommodate a great audience. Opera building will take a unique and monumental style with considerations of typical Beaux-Arts. In addition, the Beaux-Arts will incorporate axial symmetry in plan and eclectic exterior ornamentation. Neo-Baroque decorative elements will also accompany the eclectic exterior ornamentation. I am aiming at constructing one of the largest theaters in the entire world. Opera will have one thousand nine hundred and seventy-nine seating capacity. Due to its predictable striking look, Opera will attract different individuals from different parts of the world. In addition, Opera will not contain any visit restrictions. For an unpredictable period, Opera will stand as one of the best designs done in this particular period. Integrating all these best and unique qualities and designs, Opera will surpass other theater buildings across the world. It is my pleasure to introduce my properly earned skills in construction to the world and make a difference. The design of the structure will attract a diversity of materials. The number of colors used, such as the façade, will open the fairy-tale world of the proposed building. Having two side pavilions, both regular subscribers and Emperor will have some ac
Jiow, a research scholar at the National University of Singapore, penned the article “Cyber Crime in Singapore: An Analysis of Regulation based on Lessig’s four Modalities of Constraint”. It was published in the International Journal of Cyber Criminology in 2013. The author has a Doctor of Philosophy Candidate, Communications and New Media. Besides, he started the cyber wellness initiative in Singapore, and he has written many journals on cybercrime. His article deals with cybercrime in Singapore and the various modalities of fighting the issue. The author has put together valuable findings and arguments on cybercrime that targets members of the public who utilize the cyberspace. He gives the internet penetration rate in Singapore and points out that the country ranks among the highest places in terms of cybercrime. The author intends to discuss the methods used to deter cybercrime and access their effectiveness. The significant cybercrime perpetrators in Singapore are the youths who are techno-savvy, and about 80% of the whole population has been the victim of cybercrime. The crime rates threaten the country’s social fabric, and therefore, it is essential to deal with the rising cybercrime incidents. The journal looks at the four modalities used to deter cybercrime. The government uses law in fighting cybercrime such as legislation on territorial jurisdiction and collaborating with other countries in the fight. The other method is architecture or the affordability of technology. People can afford the internet, and accessibility is effortless. Moreover, technological advancement makes it is straightforward to access materials on the cyberspace such as files. The market in the cyberspace has changed dynamics because people can buy movies or music cheaply compared to purchase physical copies. The other one is social norms that help to regulate people’s behavior in the cyberspace. The journal offers a significant approach to the reason why everyone needs to change how to utilize cyberspace and communication. On the other hand, the information in the article relates to the book in various ways. They both break down the challenges of internet use about cybercrime. Jiow’s journal outlines how people commit cybercrime, just as the book does with high tech cyber crimes (Knetzger & Muraski, 2008).). The great use of the internet in Singapore makes most users vulnerable to cyber crimes such as hacking and seeks to educate people to understand cybercrime and the various ways for its prevention. Similarly, the book addresses cybercrime and its increment among internet users and advises on how to avoid becoming victims. Jiow’s main interest is to eradicate cybercrime by highlighting the causes of cybercrime and the means to educate the users. Above all, both articles highlight various challenges in the attempt to regulate users’ behaviors in cyberspace. The information in the journal relates to the text because it talks about the multiple ways that can be used to contain cybercrime and shows the challenges of each approach. Moreover, the article and the text relate because they seek to educate potential victims about cyberspace wellness. The strengt
What types of B-Webs does Otis Elevator represent? Clearly explain and justify your choices Otis Elevator Company is the world’s leading producer, installer, and servicer of escalators, elevators, and moving walkways. Otis Elevator is a vivid example of such a type of B-web as a value-chain. It is necessary to justify such a choice by describing business operations. Otis Elevator is involved in two types of operations. According to the case study, the company works for small and big building projects. Small projects may be characterized as product-centric B-web because they function on the basis of make-and-sell logic. Customers who do not require special modifications of elevators or any other products comprise a target audience of small projects. Thus, the architects, contractors, or building owners may choose from the available products. The Process Capital is of primary significance for the success of small proj
