Introduction The activity of medical institutions is impossible without appropriate equipment with special tools. Insurance of the functioning of the presented organizations requires various types of medical facilities. Some kinds of durable material are used for diagnostic procedures, therapeutic needs, and for many small daily activities in the hospital or patient’s accommodation. The production of high-tech equipment requires highly qualified specialists, free access to resources and medical databases, as well as guaranteed financing since this industry is considerably expensive. Main body Medical equipment is intended for different purposes and according to this criterion is divided as follows:   * Diagnostic equipment includes devices such as x-rays, tomographs, ultrasound machines, and electrocardiographs. These facilities are used to identify symptoms of the disease and take various signs from the patient;   * Therapeutic equipment is phonendoscopes, tonometers, and other instruments that are designed for initial examination and diagnosis;   * Surgical equipment is the entire extensive set of tools for surgical intervention, as well as machines for maintaining vital functions during operations;   * Laboratory facilities are all sorts of analyzers and consumables for them, dishes and other laboratory supplies;   * Transport equipment includes stretchers, wheelchairs, and incubators for newborns. Since the production of complex electronic machines can be difficult for a start-up factory, the creation of transport equipment (wheelchairs), non-electronic therapeutic (phonendoscopes, enemas, etc.) or surgical (sterile needles, droppers, catheters, etc.) devices and laboratory glassware (test tubes, syringes, Petri dishes) will be most profitable and rational. The therapeutic stage is one of the most valuable in the process of examination and diagnosis. Different equipment is used for various diseases, for example, a phonendoscope and a stethoscope are applied during the primary analysis or in the diagnosis of diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Non-electronic blood pressure monitor is utilized in the investigation of cardiovascular diseases or pressure problems associated with stress. Enemas are medical instruments that are designed to treat gastroenterological conditions or to prepare for many biopsies and operations. Disposable consumables play an essential role in the functioning of the surgical department. For example, during operations, a large number of syringes, droppers, or disposable surgical instruments (catheters, tweezers) are applied. Laboratories also use a large amount of equipment in addition to the analyzers themselves. For instance, laboratory glassware is utilized for analysis, syringes, and needles for sampling, as well as a large number of containers for storing materials. Moreover, a large number of different w
Some many children and adolescents have certain problems at school and home, and there are a few key theories that can be applied to analyze their behavior and develop a preliminary plan of psychological care. In this paper, I consider the case of Aaron, a boy demonstrating quite a strange behavior and having significant issues with socialization. Many researchers in the field of psychology attempted at developing their theories explaining the process of human personality development. For instance, Erikson (1994) put a lot of time into defining and studying the primary laws that are common for all the people and control the process of personality development in children and adult people. According to his opinion, the development of personality never stops, and there are a few important stages of this process. In general, he defined eight stages of development; each of them was connected to a specific inner conflict. To continue, each stage is inextricably bound up with one of the basic values (such as care for adult people and wisdom for elderly ones). Developing the theory, the author defines the approximate age which corresponds to the description of the stages. Despite the obvious link between the age and the priorities, in some cases, the stage of development of a particular person and his or her actual age may be different. I suppose that Aaron is in the stage of early childhood typical for the children who are 2-4 years old. To some extent, he demonstrates his ability to make decisions but he is unable to meet the requirements of society. Therefore, it can be said that there is a developmental delay. If the conflict peculiar for this stage is not resolved, the child will be likely to become weak-willed (Aaron cannot control his behavior and refrain from stealing). According to the theory proposed by Maslow (1970), there are certain stages of development that are closely interconnected with specific n
Introduction Starbuck Corporation is the largest and the most famous international coffee brand; its headquarters are based in Seattle, Washington, USA. Starbucks has a very extensive coffeehouse chain – it is located in 44 countries with a total of 15,012 shops worldwide. The Starbucks Corporation expanded and now it even sells ice cream, books, music, and movies. Analysis Starbucks was started as a brand that promoted the basic emotions of love and the vital goodness of coffee. But as time progressed and the brand become rampant, the company became too busy working on its brand, the expansion, opening up of new shops, producing new technology to improve efficiency, improving sales. Little did the administration realize that they were moving away from their core purpose; the purpose that basically differentiated Starbucks from any other random coffee house. The heritage of Starbucks is slowly being lost in the glamour – the warmth of a friendly coffee house for romantic and aesthetic coffee lovers disappeared (BusinessWeek, 2007). Also, a few things could lose the customer confidence as well; the making of coffee behind huge machine bars does not give a view to the customers and that might just make them suspicious. Since Starbucks uses the highest possible quality coffee and work extra hard to impress their customers, they should give a view of this to the customers to make them even fonder of St
What, in your view, is the most important principle of negotiations? Why? Negotiations as the approach to conflict resolution in international relations can be effective only when efficient negotiation strategies are used. According to Ross’s rules of negotiation, the main focus should be on the desired outcome, on developing relations of trust, on empathy, and on respecting the sides’ interests and backgrounds 1 . In this context, the most important principle of negotiations can be formulated as the orientation to the agreement or to the best solution that can respond to the interests and needs of all sides, as is indicated with references to the example of Tulia and Ibad 2 3 . This principle is working because it is associated with the idea of achieving the best results at lesser costs, and it is supported by Ross’s first rule 4 . Furthermore, the clear orientation to the agreement contributes to minimizing the risks associated with ‘hard decisions’ 5 . Diplomats need to be oriented to achieving agreement connected with the concrete best resolution before starting the negotiations 6 . The collection of the information about the sides is important to understand backgrounds, interests, and motivation in order to formulate all the aspects of the desired agreement carefully. In this case, it is significant to use technologies and focus on each detail of the sides’ backgrounds 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 . The achievement of the best solution is possible only when the negotiator is responsive and understands the peaceful character of negotiations 12 . To refer to less cost while achieving agreement, it is necessary to be able to formulate messages efficiently 13 14 . From this point, the discussed principle is most important in the negotiation process because it is directly associated with conflict resolution. What surprised you about the negotiation process and what would you do differently the next time around? The negotiation is a challenging process, and in spite of the focus on the concrete details of the expected and desired agreement, it is necessary to be ready to the opposition from the other side. The arguments provided by supporters of different positions can be rather surprising because different aspects are taken into consideration, and one problem can be discussed from a lot of perspectives. Although the necessity of a cease-fire is obvious, the sides can support their positions while referring to unexpected arguments based on their backgrounds. That is why much attention should be paid to formulating the effective principles of the agreement that are based on the careful examination of the sides’ motivation and perspectives 15 . In order to achieve higher results during
Abstract Islamic banks have developed alternatives to the derivatives that they use in their operations as per the sharia laws. This paper looks at these alternatives to the derivatives and how capable they are in sustaining the operations of these banks. The study shows that Murabaha, wa’ad, and musawama are some of the alternatives to the conventional derivatives that Islamic financial institutions use. They are capable of sustaining operations of these institution and they offer opportunities for Islamic banking to grow. Introduction Conventional banks use conventional derivatives in their operations. Customers deposit their money in the banks and the banks use the same to lend to other customers. The clients who deposit their money get interested in the banks and the customers who borrow money pay interest to the banks. According to Lewis, Mohamed, and Shamsher (2014), conventional banks rely on interest and sometimes speculations in the market to make profits. However, Islamic banks operate on a completely different platform. Islamic banks are sharia-compliant, which means that they do not permit the use of interests (usury/riba) as a way of earning income by financial institutions. The Islamic financial institutions also prohibit high degrees of uncertainty where banks subject their clients to investments that may leave them dangerously exposed to external forces. However, these institutions still have a responsibility to their clients and the shareholders. Those who deposit their money in the bank would prefer having some form of return for having allowed the bank to stay with their money. However, the benefit cannot be given in the form of interests. On the other hand, shareholders would want to get returns from their investments. Islamic banks are forced to use substitutes for derivatives in their operations to ensure that they meet the needs of both their clients and their shareholders. This paper focuses on the investigation of the practice of Islamic finance by Islamic financial institutions as well as investors and policymakers. Literature Review Islamic banking is becoming increasingly relevant in many parts of the world, and it has attracted the attention of many scholars. It has been of interest among scholars to find ways in which banking can be practiced among Muslims without going against the teachings of Islam. Traditionally, banks were structured to earn money by charging interests on those who borrow money. To ensure that they have enough money at their disposal to lend to more borrowers, conventional banks came up with mechanisms to attract individuals and entities to deposit the money they do not use with them by giving interests (Brunn & Gilbreath, 2015). These practices are not permitted under Islamic law. For a long time, many banks in Islamic countries had no option but to offer conventional banking services to their predominantly Islamic customers and some Muslims who are strict in following their faith started questioning these conventional derivatives. The report shows that some of these faithful even opted to avoid banking services as a wa
According to Zucker. (2005), strategic planning involves the making of decisions by an organization to implement on the organizational strategies and future targets. The health sector needs a lot of care and resources for it to be able to attain the strategic goals that it has stipulated to get into in its operational period. From the ten strategies outlined by Zucker, the organization which is working with has been in a process of doing thorough and the related application of the strategies and they at the end never succeeded in the adoption of at least one. The only strategy that has been in operation for a longer duration was the strategy of goal-based approach whereby the organization sets goals and gets into deciding on who and with what resources and when to get into the matters of trying to achieve the aims. The strategy of goal-based has been the most common and it does focus on the stipulated organization mission and the philosophy statement which includes all the visions and the organizational values and the goals that are the driving factors towards the organization end. Beyond this, it does involve the strategies that are fundamental for the achieving of the goals and the factors of action planning on who has to do what and when. This is a strategy that has been sued for a considerable time in the organization am currently working in and it has led to very right and well-placed returns. The usage of the goal-based strategy in the organization am working in has been very considerable provide that the management team has been able to achieve the aims and targets that are traceable to it. To create some more improvement in the organization I am working with, there is the need of having to stick to, the same approach because a lot of potentials can be realized in the organization still. Herzlinger, (2007) says that the management team just needs to use a specific type of approach to planning and as per my proposal we should be getting into the section of appreciative inquiry,(Ruth, Et al 2009). This is a system whereby the higher occupants of the offices looks for information that has been realized by the actual doers of the action and put in place the mechanism that is meant to recreate the opportunities and improve returns. A worker who sees his contribution implemented does have the motive to work toward it and this instead will be giving back a whole lot of returns, (Reid, 2009). According to my views, the strategy that has enabled the organization to realize good returns is the goal-based strategy. I wound be very much fine and ready to implement this strategy in the organization am working with currently because its easier to achieve targets with very minimal hindrances reasonably its all about the allocation of duties and the making a follow up of what the person working on it is facing. By giving of the right resources and responsibility a member of staff shall be able to assume the responsibility solely has his and then work towards what the organization has outlined as the target of the same. During the implementing of this strategy their some likeliness of having some of
Contemporary education system is driven by innovation, creativity, as well as invention. Education scholars have suggested various approaches to developing and maintaining good leadership in education institutions as a platform for reliable systems. As I grew up, I was keen to note how different schools failed to change their education systems remaining almost stagnant. Pupil and students were doing no better than previous groups. In my undergraduate and Mater’s degree where I specialized in education studies, I have realized that global education system seems to be lagging in the fast changing world. The important segment in the society needs not be left out but proper leadership to make it more competitive should be adopted. When education systems are improved, social economic improvement of an economy is fast-tracked as well. Policy makers that are politicians, sociologists, and economists should keep in mind the need to have proper leadership in education. My main purpose of applying for this course is to get a chance to study in your university where such notions as research, innovation, and invention are embraced. I will be able to develop an effective leadership strategy for education institutions in my thirst for better education systems. I will focus on cost management strategies that education establishments can implement; I will also attain this goal through research and literature review of various readings by management gurus. I am a person with high self-drive, I am also self-motivated, and result oriented; the above traits combined with my enthusiasm to make positive change will facilitate the attainment of my goal of improving education systems. To make a positive change in the education requires conscientious, determined, and hardworking scholar; these are some of my personal characteristic features. Besides spending much time studying and researching on education management approaches, I have participated in a variety of management positions in education institutions and realized that they have similar problems. From my childhood, my parents have been small scale business-people who introduced me and my siblings to business at an early age. As I grew to teen-age, I realized that they always had similar problems revolving around the gross margin they enjoyed from their sales. In my college life, I volunteered in six education facilities/institutions of different grades and surprisingly, I realized the same problem. As an education student, I actively participated in decision making in the education sector and trying to implement strategic leadership policies I had learnt in class. However, the policies failed in one way or another. After careful consideration, I learnt that education institution models are different from other indus
For this reading essay, I have chosen the following novels: The Ugly American by Eugene Burdick and William J. Lederer and No-No Boy by John Okada. My choice fell on these two novelists’ works since they impressed me most of all as compared with others. Both The Ugly American and No-No Boy describe the historical period between 1920 and 1960, particularly the time during and after World War II, and have been written to throw light on particular American military policies that turned out to be unsuccessful; however, the events of these two books are still very different. At the end of the nineteenth century, America experienced a massive flow of immigrants. Those were primarily coming from the Eastern parts of Europe, Canada, South America, China, and Japan. The majority of the immigrants were searching for better job opportunities than their own country could offer, and that is why they considered the US as the permanent residence. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the number of Japanese living in America vastly increased and reached almost a hundred thousand. That is when the country became concerned about the issue of Japanese immigration and with a series of acts (such as The Immigration Act of 1924) literally prohibited it. In view of this, almost all young Japanese who lived in America by the time World War II burst out were already born in this country and considered themselves American. When the war began for the US, and Pearl Harbor w
It is a film about the fragility of masculinity, men’s mental health, and how they are interconnected. Fight Club is a crude portrait of what happens when men’s insecurities turn into masculinity in overdrive. Thus, this film represents toxic masculinity. Fight Club shows men dissatisfied with the state of masculinity. The characters are different in that many of them were raised by their mothers because their fathers either left the family or got divorced. According to Ta, the result is that the characters see themselves as “a generation of men raised by women” (270). In their life there is not enough male education for the formation of their masculinity. It confirms the idea of phallocentrism, which is based on the image of castrated women. Women raise children so that they can enter into the symbolic order. Fight Club is a wicked satire about finding, nurturing, and destroying yourself. It challenges ideas of masculinity, adding to the image of a real man several features that can be called associative and setting self-destruction and a destructive impact on society as one of life’s goals. The victory of Jack’s subpersonality over Tyler on the roof of a skyscraper shows that the good in a real man can overcome the destructive element. The ability to self-sacrifice and responsibility for his actions in Jack, who has gone through the evolution of masculinit
The quality movement advanced by Edward Deming has had a big influence on different organizational systems. His theory focused on increasing efficiency, productivity and cohesion at the workplace. Many business firms have made quality management to be a key part of their operations. In his assessment, Deming argued that quality management is vital to an organization’s survival because it helps build a firm’s reputation in the long term. This observation has evolved to include other relevant factors which contribute to effective human resource management in business organizations (Cole and Scott 115). This paper will discuss the way quality management affects human resource practices in different business organizations. HR Planning Deming’s arguments are relevant in the current business environment. They show why managers need to formulate effective plans to enable their firms achieve quality output in their operations. Managers need to improve the way work systems are structured to make their organizations more competitive. Therefore, the management needs to build relationships at all levels of the organization to improve coordination and efficiency. Quality management focuses on all aspects of organizational behavior which have an impact on the way employees perform their duties. This requires managers to guide employees through different organizational policies formulated to help them achieve quality output (De Cenzo and Robbins 78). Deming’s theory argues that firms that produce high quality goods and services are likely to survive longer in the market compared to those that produce low quality products. Therefore, it is important for work systems to conform to workers’ skills for quality results to be achieved in the organization. Cooperation Deming stresses the importance of cooperation between workers and their superiors because it helps a firm improve the quality of its output. This makes it possible for workers to collaborate with each other to improve the quality of work outcomes in the organization. This theory reveals that workers’ issues need to be taken more seriou
