A child’s attachment to both parents has been identified as critical in the proper advancement to different stages of the human lifespan development. Indeed, one can connect infant attachment to other stages of growth, highlighting both positive and negative implications. A child who has a strong attachment, is assumed, to also have better attachments in the later stages of life. The vice versa applies for a child who does not have a strong connection with his or her parent/s. The essay will examine the effects of secure and insecure attachment. Overall, it will be argued that a child with secure attachment, also referred to as strong attachment in the paper, is more aware, and easily interacts, with other people and his or her environment as compared to a child with insecure attachment. Relationship between Attachment and Cognitive Growth A study by Lindsey and Caldera (2015) showed that the degree of attachment that a child has to their parent affects their cognitive growth and ability to develop and maintain relationships in adolescence and adulthood. In the experiment, children were put in a room, and their parents asked to leave. Findings showed that children who had a sturdy attachment to their parents were very calm and felt secure despite the new environment. Secure attachment also allows a child to trust easily in later stages of the human lifespan development (Moutsiana et al., 2015). With such attitudes developed early in the child’s life, he or she will be able to grow and be in a position to handle stressful situations well as an adult (Colonnesi, van Polanen, Tavecchio & Fukkink, 2017). If, for example, a child with secure attachment goes to the supermarket with their parent, he or she is less likely to throw tantrums in an attempt to get what he or she wants. This is because the child is aware that his or her parent has his or her interest at heart. Insecure attachment, on the other hand, comes about when the child is unable to empathize with his or her caregivers (Yee & Shiota, 2015).When the child grows up, thus, he or she will also fail to empathize with colleagues and peers. The most prominent concern, towards this end, is that such a child will not be able to handle stressful situations well in adulthood. Ebbeck, Phoon, Tan-Chong, Tan, and Goh (2015) note that this effect puts such a child in a situation where he/she is less likely to be hurt emotionally. In turn, the emotional instability affects the child’s identification of self during his or her adolescent years. Research has shown that social thinking has been influenced by the two types of attachment greatly. The secure attachment has features such as sensitivity and deep affection. Such a child is expected to develop healthy human relationships, unlike the ones who have weak attachments with their parents (Moutsiana et al., 2015).Unhealthy hum
Introduction Auditing is the process of examination of financial practices that is necessary for the maintenance of sound governance levels of a company. This tool of financial control allows ensuring that an organization follows accounting principles and does not engage in misappropriation of assets. The aim of this paper is to analyze proxy statements and annual reports of two American, publicly-held companies: Walgreens and CVS Health. Walgreens is the largest pharmacy retailer in the U.S. with 13, 200 stores in 25 countries and more than 400, 000 employees (Walgreens). CVS Health is the second largest retail pharmacy in the U.S. with 9, 709 stores and 32, 000 pharmacists (CVS Health). Key Characteristics In order to better understand factors that influence the determination of external audit fees for Walgreens and CVS Health it is necessary to consider key characteristics of the companies (see table 1).

Car Audio system has undergone major revolution to become the most popular accessory in a car today. A good car audio system offers a moment of relaxation while a person is on the move. Depending on the mode, there are those who like it loud, while others prefer soothing music. It has become the most preferred mobile source for news and travel information and updates. 1930 saw the emergence of the first commercially fitted car audio, when two brothers, Joseph V. Galvin and Joseph E. Galvin, of Galvin Manufacturing Corporation, introduced the first car Audio system, Motorola 5T71. The radio was named Motorola, a name derived from two words, ‘Motor’ for motion and ‘Ola’ for sound. Other companies who joined the race for car audio manufacturing maintained the suffix “ola” in naming their car audio product. Forty years later, the first car audio amplifier was invented, with more and more refined devices and components being developed to meet the user demands and withstand vibrations and temperatures in the automobile. Early cars Audio of the 30s were nothing more than a radio receiver system running on a 6.3 volts battery. Later development in-car electrical system which made cars run on 12 volts battery led to the development of audio systems that could run on 12 volts battery. Blaupunkt is one of the car audio manufacturing companies credited with some of the major breakthroughs in-car audio systems. In 1952, this German-based company introduced the first Fm receiver car audio. Later advancement in the FM receiver shows the steeping in of the station ‘seek’ function, which allowed the car audio user to tune a station by simply pressing the tune button. With companies like Philips joining the growing car audio industry in the 80s, the first car audio with tape players was introduced. The 1990s completely changed the face of car audio with the introduction of a compact disk (CD) player car audio system. The CD, for the first time, produced high-quality sound in cars. The demand for such an audio system made Automaker realize that consumers were after quality sound in quality Automobile. This led to the production of a fully integrated car audio system in the car. Various sound aspects of the audio system could now be controlled from the steering wheel and remote consoles. Today, common car audio equipment will have a Radio, Tape player, and a CD player. Some CD players produced in the recent past have USB, WI-FI, and Bluetooth support. CD changer and CD recorder are other features common with the modern car audio CD player. DVD players with LCD touch screens are the most recent development in the car audio system. The screens are mounted on the roof and on the seat for viewing by the car passengers. The screens are also connected to the GPRS navigation system or parking camera to give the car occupant audio and visual guide. Innovation in the Car audio field has led to the creation of car audio shows where people from all backgrounds, sharing the common love for car audio, meet and competes in all various aspects of the car audio system. International Auto Sound Challenge Association (IASCA) is one of
Job evaluation is the process of establishing a structure for jobs in an organisation. The concern for job evaluation is not for people, but the job itself. A pay structure is the procedure of administering its pay philosophy. There are different types of pay structures, for example, internal equity method and market pricing. The purpose of a pay structure is to take the role of each person and reason why people receive different compensation. It also deals with opportunities of incentives. The following are objectives of job evaluation: determining how much people who perform the job, should be paid, means of comparing jobs, and pay rates with those of other organisations. Effectiveness of the Armed Forces pays structure policies Wage policies vary in different organisations. Army pays should be at least equal to similar civilian jobs, but there should be an extra pay on top of that. The Army receives policies under different conditions. For example, when the army goes for a fight or defends a country, they may work in extremely harsh conditions with serious injures involved. Therefore, they receive compensation in relation to harsh conditions. This is a policy that favours the army since they receive extra payments. Offering this policy is as a result of choosing the best pay structure. The armed forces get favours to the national guards. They receive bonuses and incentives. Personnel maintain electronic equipment as a requirement in the military. Those who repair them normally specialize in certain equipment. Also, these individuals use weapons that have electronic components that help, for instance, in firing the weapon. They receive training so that they can handle these electrical weapons (Henderson, 2003). This is a form of policy. Armed forces training and working conditions are terribly dangerous. Even when there is peace, time and working conditions can be devilishly hard on the individuals. This is because personnel must strictly follow the military rules at all times. The soldiers do not even have time for their families. This leads to split of the families sometimes. They are compensated for their devotion to work. Protection of individuals and property on military bases and vessels is left to the protective service officers. This is a policy that significantly favours the militants. Systems used in paying salaries and wages to the Armed Forces Some work conditions depend on the branch of service and other factors. Military individuals live or work near military facilities. For one to make complete military personnel, he or she must be physically fit, not insane
Abstract State legislations play a critical role in supporting local endeavors and integrating national-level ideas into a regional context. The emergence of the National Licensure Compact opened many opportunities for nurses across the nation, and many states immediately became part of it. The state of New Jersey is also willing to become a part of the compact, and bill A1597 was proposed to serve this purpose. This paper explores the details of the bill and what consequences there will be in terms of benefits and disadvantages. Considering the experience of other states and the number of states joined, numerous decisions can be made. While some local healthcare institutions may object to the state’s decision, it is definitely a favorable idea to join the NLC. It will have a positive impact on the nursing profession and practicing nurses. Introduction The New Jersey State Bill NJ A1597, first presented at the beginning of 2018, will have the state enter the Nursing Licensure Compact (NLC) (2019). The compact allows practicing nurses to obtain a single license and provide their services across the states that are parties of the NLC. Currently, A1597 is stated to be in the committee review, but on May 20, 2019, it was substituted by a similar bill, S954, which made several amendments to the original proposal (2019). The latter bill has already been enacted, and the state is currently working towards implementing the necessary steps provisioned by the NLC. When New Jersey passes all phases of implementation, nurses residing in the Garden State will have an opportunity to work in other parts of the country with a single
Regulating elder drivers in California is an interesting topic for discussion. The public has been extremely concerned about this issue over the last few years. The biggest problem that needs to be addressed is that aging has a significant impact on driving abilities. Current California laws are in need of an improvement because it is evident that some of the senior should not be allowed to operate vehicles because they are not safe on the road. This issue is discussed in one of the articles, and the author believes that elderly driving needs to be regulated because current policies are not sufficient (Martelle par. 10). The biggest problem is that organizations that deal with this subject matter do not properly educate the citizens about possible dangers and safety measures that should be taken. Information that is available on the websites is not enough to make sure that senior citizens have a complete understanding of their driving capabilities (Rapoport et al. 292). It is viewed as an enormous problem because statistics indicate that 5,671 seniors have died because of car accidents, and 222,000 individuals were severely injured in 2013 (“Older Drivers.” par. 1). The fact that California requires citizens that are 80 years and older to take additional tests is paramount because the number of accidents drastically rises among individuals in this age group compared to others according to statistics (“Older Drivers.” par. 4). Vision assessment is one of the most important ones, and only ten states currently view it as necessary when one wants to renew the driver license. One of the problems is that the accident rates in the states that do not require such evaluation are higher, and they are 1,5 fatal crashes per 100,000 senior drivers (“Older Drivers.” par. 10). However, it is necessary to note that the number of accidents has reduced dramatically in recent years because the government has acknowledged that this problem needs to be addressed and has introduced numerous policies. The law of California addresses some of the issues that are associated with elderly driving. The fact that there is a process known as reexamination is also essential because it allows the Department of Motor Vehicles to evaluate if an individual that suffers from a particular medical condition is safe on the road (“Elderly Drivers and the California DMV” par. 5). The laws are especially strict towards individuals who are 70 and older in the state, and it may not be an easy task to pass some of the necessary tests. It is also paramount to note that in-person renewal is a requirement because it is the only way to evaluate driving skills. Certain restrictions may also be considered to make sure that the senior avoids situations on the road that are likely to be dangerous if the results of testing are questionable. Health care providers also must make reports if there is a suspicion that a senior may suffer from a condition that may affect driving capabilities. California Department of Motor Vehicles also provides a range of services that may be necessary for older adults, and all the information regarding safe driving and driver license is also liste
Priorities before Soni Rakesh Soni is a chief compliance officer (CCO) to the Indian information technology (IT) company appointed in July 2009. This company is managed by a board of six members assigned by the federal government as caretakers the same year. Soni was allocated the responsibility of controlling the corporate governance of Mahindra Satyam Limited. This was implemented to enable the company’s progress without increasing the workload from the preceding year 2008 (Pradipta Mukherjee). As the chief compliance officer, Soni was to come up with a new outline on code of ethics and instill principles of corporate governance at Mahindra Satyam Limited, which was formerly recognized as Satyam Computer Services Limited. Soni was supposed to report his ideas to the vice chairman of Mahindra Satyam named Vineet Nayyar. Soni also served as the company’s chief operating officer with the profit center. He was accountable for business verticals, which he reported to C. P. Gumani who was chief executive officer (CEO) at Mahindra Satyam Limited. In a bid to carry out this responsibility effectively, he solicited assistance from Sucharita Palepu. Palepu was the head of talent management in Human Resources (HR) at Mahindra Satyam. Managerial Issue before Soni Soni was to ensure that there would be no additional violation, overt or covert of corporate governance standards. Mahindra and Mahindra Company had outlined these standards as follows; introduction of strong cooperate best practices, review of key processes, and implementation of suggestions from forensic accounting/investigating authorities. Soni was responsible for ensuring that everyone worked with integrity, which was greatly backed by Mahindra’s reputation. However, information available to the independent directors was limited. Soni had to make a decision on substitution of Satyam since it was tainted as an individual brand. It was important to give the brand a lower profile among the stakeholders even though it was the dominant source of value creation. In fact, this brand recorded higher revenues, larger number of employees, and higher economies of scale than Tech-Mahindra. In addition, it was more recognized in the global technology industry than Tech-Mahindra. On the other hand, Tech-Mahindra was offering an opportunity to force entry into the market. In addition, Soni faced the managerial issues of integration among people who were the motivating forces in the IT industry. Signals Indicating that Independent Directors Missed at Satyam As per the suggested code of conduct, the directors were to represent the interests of shareholders and consult
Life on the Earth is impossible without effective and clear communication between men and women. It is an obvious fact which cannot be doubted. However, there is a problem which has been actual throughout all history of humanity. It is the problem of mutual understanding between representatives of the opposite sex. The history of humanity counts for many centuries and they should have learned how to do that. However, the problem remains. Men and women communicate differently and misunderstandings occurring in the process of communication can lead to severe consequences which can result in great problems connected with the survival of humanity. First of all it should be said that the problem lies in physiological sphere. It is known how important for woman is to know everything about her man in order to share his problems or feelings, trying to help him somehow. However, this is where the difference lies. “Men keep their problems to themselves and don’t see the point in sharing personal issues.” (Lieberman, n.d., para. 8). It is totally unclear for women which prefer to share everything with people close to them. Valuating mens unwillingness to share their problems as mistrust women can be deeply offended. In their turn men are often irritated with womens constant desire to talk and pour their problems on them. The second difference is connected with the previous one and lies in the realization of the main purpose of communication which comes from the peculiarities of mens and womens brain. The mens idea of the communication lies in fact that “communication should have a clear purpose” (Drobnick, n.d., para. 3). There is no need talking if everything is clear and understandable. However, it does not work with women. Their brain is known to be more emotional then rational mens brain. Women are created to be loving mothers and support their children with care and warm feelings while men should decide more pragmatic problems by their pragmatic brain. That is why women use communication as a tool for sharing their emotions and establishing some certain level of intimacy. For this reason certain lack of understanding can rise between men and women. And one more reason responsible for occurring problems in communication between men and women is the way they perceive the reaction to their words. It is again connected with psychology. Men are less emotional that is why they need much less attention or signs of appreciation of their words. Some slight nod of head or just a scanty smile of acceptance will be e
This paper will focus on the in-depth analysis of the job as a medical secretary and administrative assistant on the site O*Net Online in comparison to my personal experience. Within years of working as a medical secretary, it is easy to assess the differences presented about the job online and the actual data. On the other side, not all companies in health care and social assistance have similar demands and inner processes, and personal experience at some points might be subjective. Overall, the site provides extended information about the profession gathering data from various sources. That means the site aims to get close to the most frequent abilities and job requirements possible. Regarding detailed work activities, the site states all the activities that are done by a medical secretary and administrative assistant. However, the list lacks the clarification of the physician’s notes or recorded messages in simpler language. That is an essential ability of an employee as it requires detailed knowledge of medicine and not every applicant has it at the start. The list fairly contains mostly clerical duties, and they indeed take the majority of their time at the working place. Educational requirements are stated properly, a high school diploma is usually the only document needed. Nevertheless, medical terminology and critical thinking are obligatory skills for the profession, and the majority of employers might ask the applicant to go through the formal education program at the community college or vocational school. The most important for the applicant is not to receive a paper confirming the basic medical knowledge but gain the needed amount of it. Without a general understanding of most common diseases, and analyses prescribed to the patients, it becomes harsh to interpret some aspects of the physician’s moves to the client. Struggling to clarify the data, the assistant cannot be helpful to the patients, and their impression of the service might deteriorate. Work context is represented on the site as a list of characteristics with evaluation in percentage from several individuals having experience in the profession. It has to be stated that the site provides a close-to-reality list, but the assessment of people might contain some subjectivity. It can also be followed by the chance of dealing with unpleasant or angry people, where 43% of surveyed answered “every day.” From personal experience, every day might be too often but still depends on the circumstances,
