Ever since the beginning, mankind has been besieged by disease. Many of these diseases have been healed by scientists in their respective laboratories, but there are still many diseases that have escaped solution: Diabetes, Heart disease, Parkinsons disease, Lou Gehrigs’ disease and many other illnesses and devastating disabilities. A promising avenue for research that might lead to possible cures is the ESC or the Embryonic Stem Cell. Critics point this out, but also acknowledge that such research destroys embryos and that pursuing such means would show insufficient regard for human life. Since human embryos are morally important, it follows that substantial limits must be imposed on continued research. Those who oppose such research take into consideration its potential and the possibility of its one day yielding substantial medical benefits. They do not lose sight of the fact that there are other chances for progress in basic research and for developing models to study different diseases. Recent results in research involving non-embryonic and adult stem cells point out that scientists may be able to make progress in regenerative medicine without resorting to cloning for biomedical research. There is in existence the so-called “Nuremberg Code of Research Ethics” which enunciates the principle that experimentation should be “such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study.” Unfortunately, because of the bulk of scientific uncertainties and the possible avenues of research, the problem at present evades solution. If we contemplate the fact that research using cloned embryos may yield knowledge and benefits that cannot be derived from any other means, what reasons could we have for saying “no” – for turning down cloning for biomedical research? Since no one can possibly know or predict for certain which avenues of research will prove most successful – not the scholars, not the moralists, not the patients whose suffering we all hope to alleviate – it would be wise to leave this possible avenue to medical progress open. This approach forces us to think about embryo research generally; however cloning, even only for purposes of research raises its own concerns, since only cloned embryos couls one day become cloned children. The analysis of t
Registered nurses (RNs) can use all the benefits of delegating tasks to other personnel if they know what tasks they can assign to colleagues and what responsibilities they have. Risks of negative outcomes for patients as a result of delegation can be observed only in those cases when RNs do not know key principles of delegation. It is possible to agree that effective delegation provides RNs with many opportunities (Motacki & Burke, 2016). Focusing on policies regarding delegation and applying relevant standards and rules, RNs become more productive, reduce stress, avoid burnout, and concentrate on providing high-quality services for patients. It is an interesting idea that, in addition to personal liability and accountability in the context of delegation of RNs’ tasks, the nature of interactions between nurses and assistive personnel should be taken into account. If there is no respect in relations between colleagues in healthcare settings, it is almost impossible to expect effective outcomes of delegation. The focus should be on developing positive relationship

The form of the stola as the pleated dress is similar to the form of the contemporary dress with a lot of drapery elements. The Roman stola can be discussed as a traditional ankle-length dress which can be designed with sleeves or without them (Tortora and Eubank). The contemporary adaptation presented in the picture is the model of a long dress by Stephan Pelger which resembles the stola in the manner to drape the cloth. Today, there are many variants of long dresses for women, but not all of them can be designed as the stola. Thus, the key particular feature of the stola is the usage of much cloth which is virtuously draped and fixed with the help of a fibula. The contemporary variant of the stola is based on the usage of several pieces of fabric to drape them as the pleated dress. It is important to note that only noble women and women with a good social reputation could wear the stola during the Roman period. There were two variants of garments which could be worn over the tunic. They were the stola and toga. The stola was worn by women, and togas were worn by men. However, those women who had the notorious reputation or were divorced because of adultery could wear only togas. That is why, it was possible to draw conclusions about the social status of a woman with references to this type of garments. Today, long dresses which have similarities with the stola can be worn by women without references to their social statuses. Nevertheless, this variant of clothing is usually perceived as appropriate for attending the social events. Justification Statement: The Medieval Cloak During the Medieval period, different social categories wore vario
TELSTRA has been known as the company that has been following innovative tendencies in the design of its HR framework. According to the official statement issued by the organization, TELSTRA’s policies revolve around the notions of integrity, commitment, and teamwork ( A Career in Human Resources at Telstra par. 1). Furthermore, TELSTRA’s leaders eagerly provide support and assistance to the staff member by the corporate values and ethics: “Everyone who works on behalf of Telstra – including employees, contractors, and consultants – is responsible for acting by the Telstra Business Principles that apply to their work, together with the Company Policies that support them” (TELSTRA Corporation 9). The teamwork- and employee-oriented policies, which align with the key tenets of Herzberg’s Two-factor Theory, serve as the essential principles of building strong relationships between the firm and its staff members. Particularly, the theory sheds light on the need to use the internal factors as the tools for managing the employees’ engagement rates, and so do the company’s values that exist to support the staff members. As a result, the opportunities for investing in human resources are created. The identified policy correlated directly with the theoretical premises for the HR management suggested by Herzberg. By showing the employees that they are valued as individuals, the company managers create the environment in which the employees can grow professionally. As a result, their performance is improved, and the company’s profits are increased significantly. A closer look at the evolution of the organization, as well as the progress of its employees and managers, will reveal that TELSTRA has been geared toward improving the communication process between the firm and its stakeholders for quite a while. For example, the fact that the head of TELSTRA’s HR Department resigned in 2011 to start her own company that was more sales-oriented proves that TELSTRA has been putting a very strong emphasis on the needs of the staff members for quite long (Bingemann par. 1-2). It would be an overstatement to claim that the entrepreneurship leaders have been putting their staff’s interests over the ones of the company. However, the fact that the employees have been enjoying the consistent attention of the HR Department is undeniable. However, establishing a set of standard values is unlikely to help a company meet the crucial performance goals, maintain the quality levels high, and keep both the customers and the staff members satisfied. TELSTRA’s secret to the sustainable management of its resources concerns the approach that it uses to revisit the traditional values and reinvent them. Indeed, according to the organization’s statement, the company views the concepts of accountability and mutual trust as the constituents of the same concept even, though t
Mercedes Ad This advertising is an illustration of individualism which poststructuralists promote. Even the slogan of the advertising itself, ‘Follow your own star’, presupposes individualism for it calls the viewer to be unique and different from the others. Individualism in advertising, as a rule, places emphasis “on the self-sufficiency and self-reliance of an individual, or on the individual as being distinct and unlike others” (Neujens, Hess, Putte & Smit 2004, 67). Such an approach guarantees success in most of the cases because those people who value individuality above all and can afford new A-Class Mercedes are likely to buy at least because the advertising says that this car emphasizes their uniqueness. Finally, such a representation of a new car model is individualistic because its slogan, “Follow your own star,” does not express the real world and can serve only as a re-representation of it. Aircell Company This is the advertisement of Aircell Company which started offering its clients an additional service, namely inflight Internet. By stating “The sky is no longer the limit” (Aircell 2009), the company means that indeed for its customers can access the World Wide Web even at the height of 30,000 feet. This picture shows individualism at work for, on the one hand, it depicts indi
Introduction The negative impacts of heart disease affect various communities and populations. The fight against these ailments is an urgent task of the modern healthcare system, and to address all issues, effective interventions are crucial. In order to describe a potentially productive practice in combating heart disease by using an example of a particular social group and location, the African American community of Kings County, NY, will be analyzed. By identifying valuable impacts and planning objectives, one can consider the features of working with the target population in the context of dealing with heart problems. Increasing physical activity and counteracting obesity are the most significant tasks, and the involvement of modern innovative technologies may be useful. Basic Health Behavior Indicators Out of 62 positions in New York, Kings County is ranked 17th, which is a good indicator, but regarding the factors of healthy behavior, some points are alarming (County Health Rankings & Roadmap, 2019). For instance, the average physical inactivity in New York is 19%, while in Kings County, this parameter is 26% (County Health Rankings & Roadmap, 2019). Concerning adult obesity, this rate in the county is slightly lower than in New York (23% and 26%, respectively), but it is also high (County Health Rankings & Roadmap, 2019). As a result, these parameters are the factors that stimulate the development of heart disease among African Americans, and competent interventions are essential in order to prevent the growing trend of poor outcomes. Process, Impacts, and Outcome Objectives The goal of this study is to improve the indicated parameters of health behavior and determine how specific interventions can contribute to this objective. According to Carnethon et al. (2017), mortality from heart disease among African Americans is higher than in other categories of the population, which explains the need for an intervention. In order for the work to be effective, it is essential to propose impacts that will address such elements as knowledge, behavior, and the environment. This will provide comprehensive assistance and help maintain the new regime successfully. Firstly, understanding and accepting the problem is necessary for the target audience. As Carnethon et al. (2017) argue, among African Americans, cultural attitudes toward body size may be medically erroneous. Accordingly, people should be aware of the optimal parameters of a healthy person, and the popularization of physical activity, along with the correction of eating habits, can be a valuable way to achieve positive results. Secondly, to address the indicator of health behavior, applying modern exposure systems can be effective. Carnethon et al. (2017) note “the lack of consistency between certain types of physical activity and African American self-identity,” as well as “a low desirability for certain activities” (p. e400). In other words, people of this social group are not used to
“The Silencing of the Death” is an article that criticizes the use of hearing aids and cochlear implants as interventions to help deaf people. Gupta, the author, asserts that individuals with hearing loss should be treated as if they do not belong to the human race. In the introductory section of the article, she states that “the lack of hearing is an identity to be celebrated, not a disability to be cured” (Gupta). This statement shows that she is a strong advocate of the deaf. Gupta maintains that forcing these people into the hearing world is equivalent to separating them from their inherent deaf culture. The author uses interesting facts in support of her argument. Children with hearing loss should be taught sign language as their mother tongue. According to Gupta, deaf individuals “Love sign – its cadence, its use of facial expressions, its reliance on three-dimensional space – in a way that hearing people struggle to comprehend” (Gupta). However, most parents with infants who cannot hear focus on finding biological solutions such as cochlear implants. Gupta argues that this practice is a way of denying these children their freedom of choice, since “every implanted child is a child stolen from the deaf culture” (Gupta). The author pays attention to Charles-Michel de l’Épée, who was among the first renowned people to introduce deaf education and set a strong foundation for modern-day sign language (Gupta). This form of communication is instrumental in helping deaf children to enter into the deaf culture. The author argues that deaf schools are gradually reducing as governments have cut budgets and students with hearing loss are being sent to mainstream schools (Gupta). She concludes by saying that forcing the deaf to live through the lives of hearing individuals is oppressive as it is
Introduction Before looking at the effects of both social exchange theory and expectancy theory on human resource development, it will be paramount to, first, describe what the theories are all about. Social exchange theory is actually both a social psychology and a perspective of sociology that debunks the social changes and also the stability as a progression in relation to bargained social exchanges between two or more groups of individuals or parties (Rosenberg 1990). Social exchange theory argues that all relationships between human beings are informed by what is referred to as subjective analysis of cost and benefits; this also involves the comparison of the best available alternatives. Social exchange theory is rooted in the ideologies of economics, sociology and psychology (Schellenberg 1996). Social exchange theory utilizes some of the assumptions made in both structural and rational choice theories (Turner 2006). Social exchange theorists posit that human behavior is informed by the kind of reward associated with a given behavioral style. This implies that rewards play a significant role in determining a particular manner in which an individual should behave given a specific situation or condition (Rew 2005). Meanwhile, expectancy theory is major associated with mental or cognitive processes that relates to making of choices or just choosing. It gives an explanation of the process an individual goes through in order to make a choice or choose from available alternatives. Both social exchange and expectancy theories are greatly related to each other. This paper examines the effects the theories have on human resource development (DuBrin 2008). Effects of social exchange theory on human resource development It is important to note that the personnel of every organization have some minimum expectations to achieve; in case they fail to get these minimum expectations, they are likely to be de-motivated or under-perform in their organizational duties. In the process of human resource development, it is important to realize that the fact the human resource must be assured of their own benefits as they continue to be part of the organization. The reality is that the more the employees are sure of getting out of their relationship with organization the more their productivity and the more the effort they put into their work (Dalkir 2005). The performance of individuals within an organization is very much dependent on favors they get from participation towards achieving the goals of an organization. For instance, for every achievement, every employee expects some favors that are comparable to the in
Introduction The European Union is a political and economic affiliation that embodies an exceptional form of collaboration among 27 member states currently. The main objective of the union is to develop a lasting relationship among member states to improve the economy and attain political stability for the member states. In a political view, the union aims at avoiding and averting circumstances that may lead to war in the region, mostly generated by extremist groups. This is possible due to the fact that if there is a stable economic situation in the region, members would not vote for radical partners (Canbazoglu and Kaiser 8). Archick asserts that the main reason behind the enlargement of the EU is to develop European partnership peacefully without any fears of war or resentment. According to the EU, the enlargement door is not closed to any European nation, inclusive of Turkey. In addition, the door is open to the nations of the western Balkans, which can fulfil the economic and political conditions required by the EU for attaining membership (1). The prospects of the EU dictates that even if a radical autonomist party came to power, it would have to agree that they are reliant on on the EU and have a continuing integration process. In view of this, such a party would be obliged to share the vision and objectives of the united Europe. This is entirely because the financial and economic constancy would be reliant on the interaction process, which presently affects Turkey. In Turkey for instance, the two major movers of the Turkish economy are the IMF and the EU. This implies that if the two are not there, the Turkish economy would not hold (Canbazoglu and Kaiser 8). The unification of the EU and the consequent enlargement has been taken positively by most citizens of the prospective member states. One clear example of this is the case of Poland. A vote in Poland indicated that that 77% of its inhabitants were for the support of it’s the accession into the EU. This support for the accession of Poland continued several years after after the enlargement of the EU (Więcławski 12). On the other hand, the EU enlargement instigated intense fears among the EU members from the western nations. The existing member states feared the enlargement process in many ways. These members feared the probability of unemployment and enormous immigration of employees from poorer nations of east and central Europe (13). Background of EU enlargement The Westphalia Agreement on October 24th 1648 was the hallmark of attempt by European nations to begin a long-term period of peace following over 30 years of war between the nations. Regrettably this effort did not lead to the anticipated peace because there lacked a higher authority to punish states that got into war or had disparities. In addition, this agreement did not lead to a peaceful Europe because the nations of Europe interpreted their independence differently. As a result, most nations did not agree in many matters especially economic policies and political dimensions (Canbazoglu and Kaiser 4). In the early 1950’s the EU set up
Abstract Data processing involves several activities designed to transform the raw data into a more sophisticated and usable design. Among the activities involved in the process of data processing is data storage. In the process of data storage, there are many places where some part of data can be stored. While these data are stored, there are instances when the data become manipulated or tampered with, and in the process lose the actual meaning of its storage. Introduction Database forensic is a specialty equivalent to computer forensic. Like computer forensics, the discipline pursues the typical forensic procedures and makes use of the exploratory practices to the database. In our today’s society, information has so far been claimed as one of the very essential commodities and there are endless questions on what the society without information would look like. The majority of this information is composed and processed in a database. This piece of writing will have an in-depth analysis of database forensics, its obligation in database analysis, and other major results associated with it. Forensic outcome and result According to Lucy (2005), almost every single institution is in one way or another connected with data that may involve clients or patient information. Lucy further remarks that these data are usually entrusted to various relevant data protection for safekeeping. The outcome and information obtained from database forensic can be used for several reasons according to Brinkmann & Carracedo (2003). Brinkmann & Carracedo (2003) observes that one argument in which the outcome of database forensic can be of greater importance to a company is the fact that a company can be able to determine whether the integrity of the company’s data has been compromised, or whether one way or another has violated the users’ privacy. Lucy notes the two reasons are the core of any successful company. This is because the end users’ information usually forms the pillar on which the success of any company is built. By carrying out this analysis, the company will be conveying the message that it ought to verify if its database has been tampered with. Butler (2009) observes that the outcome of database forensic will equally go a long way into developing a valid file system inclined to the database forensic. Butler easily recognizes that developing modern files, which are not, common with database forensic has made the whole exercise very difficult to analyze as most of the database forensic tools used, do not support them. Mozayani (2010) in a similar response echoes the same sentiments as Lucy and points out that by embracing database forensics, the company will also be able to comprehend and analyze any instance of attack that may have been orchestrated toward its database. These results will therefore to a great point equip the company with expertise on the susceptibility exploited, therefore, in the process raise the issue of escalating deterrent countermeasure
