Background The Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) was founded to enhance the quality of emergency nursing services in the United States. In the mid 20 th century, leaders of registered nurses in various health care facilities found the need for a nursing association to be developed for nurses working in the emergency rooms. The main purpose of the development of the association was to enhance the skills of the emergency nurses and to help them to adapt to changing health care requirements. The ENA focuses on providing guidelines for care delivery for nurses in the emergency rooms. It also provides regular training and development programs to educate nurses and acquaint them with skills to cope with various situations. Nurses pursuing a career in the emergency room have a chance to register with the ENA. Nurses looking to become members of the ENA have an opportunity to contribute to the development of safety procedures in the ER. The association addresses various aspects of the profession, which will be discussed in this paper. Purpose of the organization The Emergency Nurses Association was developed for two main purposes, which include the enhancement of patients’ safety and increasing the quality of nursing services through the promotion of nursing excellence. The organization has developed guidelines that must be followed by registered nurses in nursing communities across the world. The guidelines are deeply enshrined in ethical practices, and they emphasize on providing better services that guarantee the attainment of wellness for the patients. The formation of the association was necessitated by an increase in the emergency room fatalities, and the concerned nurse leaders formed small organizations to look into ways of improving patients’ safety. The organizations shared ideas and guidelines were developed to facilitate safer nursing practices. Emergency nursing guidelines are designed to compel nurses to follow certain procedures that translate to faster recovery of the patients. The ENA was also developed to focus on the development of standards that must be followed by health care facilities. The standards entail the development of standard procedures for handling patients, and dictating specific ethical practices among the emergency nurses. The ENA also purposes to avail quality education to nurses in the emergency department. The ENA focuses on providing continuity in learning for nurses because service delivery should be continually enhanced in terms of quality (Hammond & Zimmermann, 2012). Activities of the organization The ENA is actively engaged in providing affordable training and development programs for registered nurses looking to join the emergency room teams. The association provides exams for aspiring nurses, and it has taken up the responsibility of offering scholarships to some of the nurses. The ENA Foundation works hand-in-hand with the ENA to produce qualified nurses for emergency response teams in hea
Introduction David Lewis, in his work, The Paradoxes of Time Travel, posits that time travel is possible and adds that; paradoxes surrounding time travel are not impossibilities but oddments. In this paper, the writer imagines that an author writes a science fiction story about time travel. In the story, a poor scientist in 2010 uses a time machine to travel back to 2008, where he/she tells his younger self the winning lottery numbers for 2009. The time traveler uses the time machine to return to 2010, where he is now rich. The writer then uses Lewis’ arguments to criticize the story and suggest how Lewis would revise it. To understand this story, it is important to understand some of Lewis’ arguments. Lewis on Time Travel Lewis observes that, “time must not be a line but a plane” (146). This implies if two events are separated more than once in time dimensions, then they can have two one-sided separations. In normal life, people live on straightforward aslope lines cutting across the plane of time. However, a time traveler lives on bent-line slopes on the same time plane. Moreover, according to Gott, time traveler has a personal time that does not comply with the rules of the normal time, also called external time (5). In this case, the time traveler’s personal time can go back into ancient time in the present external time. Nevertheless, this phenomenon is relative and Lewis notes that the probability of a time traveler going back in time to change the past depends on some set facts. Lewis therefore would find a foothold to criticize the aforementioned fiction. The Criticism As aforementioned, the author writes a story where a poor scientist in 2010, goes back to 2008, reveals to his younger self the winning numbers of a 2009 lottery; wins the lottery, and comes back to 2010 where he or she is rich. Lewis would say that this scenario could not happen because of inconsistency. Lewis would consider some few facts here. The poor scientist cannot be rich in 2010. This poor scientist is poor right now, therefore going back in 2008 and reveal to his/her younger self the winning numbers of a 2009 lottery, would be tantamount to changing the past, which cannot change. Lewis would argue that, events surrounding “past moments are not sub divisible into temporal parts; therefore, cannot change” (151). Events of 2008 can either timelessly include the poor scientist revealing to his/her younger self the lottery winning numbers or timelessly do not include the events; however, the two events cannot occur simultaneously. If the fiction story were to be considered true, the possibility of describing two events referring to same thing would be inevitable. In this case, there would be ‘original’ 2008 and ‘new’ 2008. The ‘original’ 2008 would represent the actual time when the poor scientist lived and did not know anything about the wi
Introduction There are theoretical models that are used to predict stationary and transforming effects. In this essay, ARIMA and autocorrelation models shall be discussed. Autoregressive Integrated Average Models (ARIMA) ARIMA with a single feature of direction and magnitude is a predicting method that estimates the expectations of values of a sequence depending fully in its inactivity. It is often used where there is a small duration of predicting that needs a minimum of forty chronological facts and figures. The application of ARIMA is greatest where the data shows a constant and steady outline over a period during which the outliers is the least. ARIMA is also referred to as Bos-Jenkins in honor of its’ initial writers (Broersen, pp 33). It is the most advanced method compared to exponential smoothing methods especially when the figure collected is convincingly extensive and the connection involving the earlier observations is steady. Smoothing method is more appropriate if the collected facts are small and extremely unpredictable. This is done especially if you have at least 38 collected facts. When using ARIMA method, firstly ensure that the sequence becomes steady for a period time. A drift in economies and businesses means that the data is not stationary. The numbers should also exhibit some general instability over a period. This occurs in a sequence that is recurrent and the rate of growth is high. If the stationarity circumstances are not achieved, then computation linked to such a procedure cannot be done. Another Feature in ARIMA is differencing. This is done when the data depicts a non stationarity. This is the best method of changing a non stationary series to a stationary series. The operation involves getting the difference between the existing pe
Every time art movements replace each other, a new, “fresh” tendency rebuts and refutes the old one with enthusiasm and categoricity. However, there is hardly any movement in the history of art that demonstrated as strong aspiration for destroying the “old” and bring the “new” as Futurism. Having emerged in the early 20th century, Futurism absorbed the tense and contradictive spirit hovering in the air of progressive Western European capitals. One of the first artistic personalities who managed to grasp this spirit was Filippo Tommaso Emilio Marinetti, an Italian poet who is today considered one of the “fathers” of Futurism. In his Futurist Manifesto published in 1909 in Paris (Marinetti 1909), Marinetti formulated the essence and the purpose of the Futurist movement and thus outlined the “ethical code” of a New Artist, a Futurist. Playing on the contrast of new and old, courage and cowardice, a human and nature, freedom and captivity, Marinetti not only expressed the spirit of his epoch, but also gave direction to it. The contrast of “old” and “new” is the core of the Futurist movement. The term
Introduction Zed is a medium-sized company operating in Australia. The company is faced with a number of logistical problems. These challenges come at a time when the company has numerous opportunities for expanding its market in Asia and beyond. These problems include supplier inadequacies, lack of sufficient inventories to meet the ever-increasing consumer demand, and distribution issues. Immediate issue The most important immediate issue confronting Zed Company is the establishment and maintenance of sufficient inventory levels to ensure client product supplies are reliable. The company is exploring various options to meet inventory levels that are sufficient to meet the requirements of clients within the emerging Asian and South-East Asian Countries. The company has landed an excellent opportunity to improve its sales in the Asian market through De Oro Pty Ltd, which is a leading exploration and exploitation company in Asia. These two companies have established a strong trading relationship with De Oro opting to purchase Zed’s products. This relationship has helped Zed Company in establishing itself in the Asian market. However, the deliveries of Zed products to De Oro are limited due to the low inventory levels maintained by Zed. De Oro is about to be approved to conduct exploration and exploitation projects in Southern Vietnam and is concerned about whether Zed company will meet timely deliveries of the product during the project. Basic issues Some of the basic issues facing Zed Company are as follows:   * Lack of investigation of the current suppliers and new supply opportunities for the company by the purchasing department   * Small suppliers who have no capacity to meet the surge in levels of product supplies in the local and international market   * Establishing and maintaining sufficient inventory levels   * Inadequacy of IM/IT tools relied on by the purchasing department   * Increasing customers’ complaints as a result of delayed deliveries of orders   * Supplier slip on the delivery of important components in the manufacture of products and their spare parts   * Inharmonious relationship between marketing and the purchasing departments   * Custom regulation role in the delay of deliveries of products in the Asian market   * Lack of local support to customers in the Asian market   * Establishment of distribution centres in the foreign and do
Introduction There is always the need for organizations to change and develop new strategies that will propel them faster to achieve their goals. Directors, managers, and other key organizational leaders come up with various approaches to ensuring their companies perform better every day. There is a need to ensure their company stays ahead of others while competing for the limited market available to them (Brown 2009). This forces the management to seek various ways and strategies that will ensure their company takes advantage of the available opportunities to enhance their productivity. This step is usually tough and challenging, depending on the readiness of the company. In addition, there are challenges that organizations face while transforming their systems to achieve better ways of performing better, as is evident in the Chipping at Intel case study. Environmental Pressure Changes The main environmental pressure changes that companies experience include reputation, competition, fashion, market, geopolitical, and mandates. However, this case study proves that Intel’s main environmental challenges include the low markets for their commodities, dwindling economy, stiff competition, reputation, and war threats. Their reputation was put at stake due to many cases of recalls of their products (Burke 2010). Their supplies to the market were rejected since most of their software had bugs that made them ineffective. Secondly, the company had to spend a lot of time in order to ensure they provide quality products to their clients. However, this led to a wastage of time and thus could not rule out cases of shortages of supply and delays in delivery of orders. This, in turn, gave their competitors an upper hand to dominate the market. Thirdly, there were numerous cases of product recalls that led the public to believe that Intel was now producing substandard goods. Therefore, the reputation of this company was extremely at stake. In addition, there was an unmatched competition between Intel and other similar companies that led to the decline in the profits realized by Intel. The AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) was their main competitor. Since they were now producing chips that were highly ranked in terms of speed, quality, and price, Intel could not afford to compete with them. Lastly, there was a general drop in the chip producing industry occasioned by the decline in the world economy and many war threats. This was evident in mid September when all companies registered minimal sales. Internal Organizational Pressures On the other hand, there were numerous internal organizational pressures for change that made it extremely difficult for Intel to achieve its development chang
Introduction Many countries are increasingly facing challenges of an ageing population which include the provision of care for the elderly persons with deteriorating health, and diminishing mental and physical capabilities. This is coupled with the challenge of declining workforce and deficiencies of healthcare practitioners. Technological advances can offer surged remote monitoring as well as management of elderly patient with chronic diseases. Robots’ utilization in this field is receiving growing attention in study. Robotic technologies applications encompass medication, surgery, dispensing, and stroke suffers’ rehabilitation. Trivial pet-like robotic technology can offer companionship where elderly chronic patients can no longer offer care for an actual animal. Nonetheless, the adoption and uptake of robotic technologies in nursing is yet to meet original forecasts for the care provision. Certain robots introduced to age-care facilities have never been utilized by residents and have since dropped out of commercial production (Eimontaite et al., 2019). The reason for the lack of desired uptake might be that robotic technology designers have never sufficiently investigated the desires and the needs of nursing staff and aged-care facilities’ residents. Researchers have demonstrated that the elderly are specifically willing and ready to accept robotic technologies whenever they speak to a perceived need and they see that they are able to provide surged autonomy. Designers might further have failed to acknowledge the seniors have distinguished attitudes towards these robotic technologies than the young population. The seniors have shown greater levels of technological mistrust and always find them increasingly sophisticated to utilize. They are further more probably to give up when face with challenges instead of seeking for help. Despite of this emerging development in nursing, robotics in Saudi Arabia is still unexplored in the area of geriatric nursing. The main objective of this study is to investigate the attitudes and knowledge of Saudi nurse managers towards the adoption of robotics for remote monitoring and management of elderly patient with chronic illness in an aged-care facility. Background There remains a scarcity of research probing the acceptance of robotic/assistive technologies with elderly patients and their respective caregiver and nurse managers. Previous studies have showcased that impediments to the utilization of assistive or robotic technologies encompass feeling of discomfiture amongst the elderly patients with chronic illness alongside lack of knowledge and negative attitudes amongst the nurse managers whereas enabling factors/drivers include comfort and ease of use, positive attitude, a feeling of surged personal security and safety, as well as gratification whenever goals are accomplish

Introduction The blistering development of digital devices and the demand for computers and software connected with their functioning have a great impact on the modern world and nowadays companies that work in the given sphere are guaranteed to obtain a great income. Microsoft is taken as the most powerful actor, which popular OS guarantees it about $93580 million of income (Microsoft 6). Under these conditions, if Google wants to compete with Microsoft and conquer the market which provides about $90 billion of income (Kelly para. 7), it should force the creation of the OS of a new sort. Main body The fact is that nowadays the market of digital technologies and software passes through a period of blistering growth. The level of demand on OS increases along with the introduction of new devices which need a certain operating system. However, looking at Figure 1, it is possible to say that Microsoft remains the monopolist as 89% of the market belongs to it. That is why, the existing situation in the sphere of OS could be characterized by the attempts of Microsoft to remain the main actor, despite Apples products. The situation is also complicated by the fact that there is no OS that could be able to compete with the Microsoft OS and provide the same possibilities and services for its users. Nevertheless, the peculiarities of the market and the high level of demands on it could be taken as the guarantee of the great level of expected incomes for a new OS. Resting on these facts, Google can enter the market suggesting a revolutionary new operating system that could be able to satisfy the new sort of demands which appears in the age of the development of various technologies and close cooperation with the Internet. People, who cannot imagine their lives without constant access to the Internet will be the targeted audience of the company and new OS, characterized by the great attention given to this very aspect of the functioning of a device. The intention to introduce a new and efficient OS could be explained by several factors. First of all, Google has great experience in the sphere of the Internet and software connected with it (Google Inc 4). Figure 2 shows, that Google is the most popular search engine which demonstrates the great credibility and efficiency of this sort of software. Moreover, the company has already created the Internet browser which makes work on the Internet much easier. That is why, it is possible to presuppose that the company will be able to place greater focus on Chrome OS, which is already being created, and make it open to the audience and efficient (“Google Chrome OS” para. 5). The new OS should be able to compete with Windows OS and help the company to conquer the market. Conclusion However, one should keep in mind the possible risks connected with the creation of the new OS and its promotion. It is a very long-termed process that demands constant control and support from various departments of the company. Microsoft has great experience in the given field and that is why its products are deprived of some mistakes. Google should try to use the same practice. The n
The development of services takes a cyclic path where iterative changes for optimization are made. Philosophical foundations of curricula and the responsibility of instilling and assessing them lies with school districts and relevant organizations. Curriculum evaluation is an integral component of most programs in different schools. Assessment of a curriculum can be done internally or externally. Outsourcing evaluation helps eliminate bias and has the most realistic representation of the state of the curriculum. Studies have shown that bias should be eliminated from evaluations (Enríquez-de-Salamanca, 2018). It has a cost component to it that is required to cover the dependent ones like personnel. More time is needed to pick an independent external consultant to deliver fine-tuned evaluation. They also provide valuable insights on improving the curriculum as well as personnel. I have seen audits and evaluations done more effectively and impartially before. More often than not, the institutions that hire external parties to do the evaluation benefit more from them than internal evaluations. While internal assessments are necessary for human resources functions, they should complement an evaluation (Wilson, 2018). The value of an evaluation increases when evaluations by external consultants are cross-referenced with appraisals where necessary. The role of personnel tasked with evaluating a curriculum is very clear regardless of whether internal or external personnel. Internal evaluators better understand the context and environment, while external evaluators provide valuable experience and knowledge (Ornstein & Hunkins, 2018). I think outside consultants are more effective than internal consultants because they are objective. The use of external personnel for evaluation also allows institutions to carry out their day-to-day activities with minimal but necessary interruptions. It enables the evaluators to have a better perspective of an institution or a school district. Proficiency is also crucial in evaluations as evaluators need to understand a curriculum and its key performance indicators, which are the evaluation variables (Ornstein & Hunkins, 2018). A school district or organization only hires external consultants for their expertise. I know that vast knowledge and experience in a domain or activity are the key to a successful consultant. I have often thought of consultants as superior personnel in their duties and their knowledge is crucial. I have been through various evaluations in my life, with those done in school being the most memorable. We took them more seriously when external parties were involved. Students would queue in long lines to avoid strict teachers and trouble. Based on this,
