Overview This unit deals with various infectious diseases which patients are diagnosed with. According to our mission statement we do all we can to provide quality care to our patients. General Medicine consists of skilled health professionals who are dedicated and willing to serve the needs of our patients to enable them recover quickly. As a result, the hospital has put in place effective systems to guide our patients and other visitors on how they are required to conduct themselves inside the facility. This project will come up with several guidelines to make all patients and visitors aware about various safety issues they need to take note of. The organization has realized that there is a need to implement visitation guidelines which are responsive to cultural backgrounds of all patients, caregivers and visitors. Goals and Objectives These visitation guidelines are intended to offer patients a positive healthcare environment. All patients need to be offered high quality healthcare services to help them recuperate easily from various health conditions that afflict them. All patients need to get adequate rest in their wards without any disturbances. As a result, visitors to the infectious section will only be allowed to see their patients from 9 am to 9 pm. Overnight stays will only be allowed in limited cases. This policy seeks to address cultural differences that exist in this community to enable the institution provide high quality services to all patients (Frampton, ‎Charmel, & ‎Guastello, 2013, p. 67). As a result, this document will be translated in several languages that are spoken by different people living in this community. This will help all community members understand how they need to protect themselves from various infections they are likely to get exposed to in different places. All patients need to be treated with empathy and compassion to make them feel special. Therefore, the institution has a responsibility to put in place precautionary measures to ensure all visitors and patients are protected from various hazards. If this plan succeeds, the hospital will be able to reduce the number of people in the community who get ill due to various infectious diseases. All healthcare professionals and patients were consulted before the adoption of this policy (Frampton, ‎Charmel, & ‎Guastello, 2013, p. 73). The hospital’s administration has realized that a patient centered approach will help it change peoples’ perceptions towards healthcare. All stakeholders felt it was necessary to use a multi lingual approach to ensure the document communicated these guidelines to all stakeholders in the community. Audience This document has been well prepared to suit different people living in different communities. It follows high standards of practice which all medical staff in this unit are expe
Introduction Running a multinational internet firm necessitates a clear understanding of increased existence of values within the diverse cultures involved in the online business. The subsystems of the firm have to adjust to an effective organizational structure in order to facilitate different values in the organization. Effective integration of values can be achieved by increasing knowledge in leadership, as this helps in highlighting the changes that are taking place in a given segment. This goes along with creating competent staff as well as evaluating the structure used in relation to the organizational culture. But what type of structure best suits multinational internet retailer? How can someone build a diverse culture that creates room for creativity amongst the technical staff? And how would someone evaluate the success of organizational structure and culture? Type of Structure That Would Best Suit Multinational Internet Retailer In the recent past, it has come to the attention of multinational internet retailers that a number of cultural practices affect their business operations, namely, language used, religion, laws and politics, the level of education, social organizations, and technology, among others (Weitz, 2002). And in this regard, a vast majority of the multinational internet retailers has taken the initiative of evaluating organizational structure that would best suit multinational organizations. The fact that understanding customers’ needs enhances productivity and better management of a given firm makes regionalized organizational structure best suited to a multinational internet retailer. This emanates from the fact that a regionalized organizational structure creates an avenue for corporate culture, thus facilitating decision-making process for each segment. More so, a regionalized organizational structure is in a position of recognizing synergies, and this makes it easier to reform them. It works under the platform of midway between the centralization and decentralization, thus facilitating local operations that are based on a global framework. In addition, a regionalized organizational structure suits a multinational internet retailer because, despite the fact that it would want to operate under a centralized structure in a bid to retain the company’s values and standards, it is extremely hard to achieve organizational goals due to differences in culture and economic status between diverse countries across the globe (Weitz, 2002). Hence, a multinational internet retailer can only acquire speed and comprehensive information of diverse cultural practices and economic capabilities of different regions by strategically placing several regional headquarters, especially in areas characterized by diversity. How Would You Recommend Building a Culture That is Inclusive of Diverse Cultures and Accommodates Highly Creative Technical Staff? In order for an organization to achieve long-term benefits and survival, it must learn how to build a culture that accommodates diverse cultures and highly creative technical staff. However, even though
Methamphetamine, commonly known as meth or speed, glass, crystal or crank, is a powerful stimulant that affects the central nervous system of human beings. It is a highly addictive drug. It stimulates the brain and the spinal cord hindering the normal function of neurotransmission. Meth is sold inform of pills, capsules, powder and chunks and can be taken into the body systems through injections, inhaling or smoking. There are three different types of methamphetamine they include dextro-methamphetamine (d-meth) the most abused and common form of meth its side effects are said to be fewer as compared to the other forms, dextro-levo methamphetamine (dl-meth) that is said to be difficult to manufacture and the side effects are more severe than d-meth and they include tremors, shakes and stomach cramps and lastly levo- methamphetamine (l-meth). Becoming an addict to meth is quite easy as just a small dose is said to make a person feel pleasurable instantly other meth users report that after taking the drug a sudden “rush” is felt in the body this rush is sensational and very pleasurable for a user. But once the drug wears off from the system this person become depressed and starts to get irritated and will look for more methamphetamine in order to revive the pleasurable feeling from before resulting to physical dependence of the drug. From research conducted and reported by law enforcers and treatment providers, those who are using meth are commonly in the high school and college while others are the working class and even the unemployed people mostly who are about 20 and 30 years of age. The main users of meth are the whites. In Oregon State, the whites make up 94 % of the people using methamphetamine among these the statistics further showed that 54% of the users were men while 46% were women. It has been a major problem in that particular state since its introduction in the 1980s. The number of deaths recorded as a result of consuming the drug by 2007 is more than 106. Women are said to most likely turn to meth as a substance abuse compared to the abuse of cocaine. As for the youth, the drug is becoming common because abusers of the drug perceive it as being safe longer lasting effects and easy to buy compared to cocaine. In the United States, a survey conducted by Monitoring the Future whose role is to measure the degree of substance abuse found out that meth was being used by high school students and the number has grown more than twice as compared to between the 1990s. These youngsters are involved in both selling and using the drug as teenagers as young as 13-14 years. There are repercussions of taking the drug (Meth. 15) The effects of
Leadership theories A number of leadership styles and theoretical approaches have been suggested. However, other theories are still being developed. Scholars have identified three categories of leadership theories- traditional, contemporary and emerging theories (Nelson & Quick, 2013). Traditional theories of leadership Trait theories Trait theories of leadership aim at identifying specific personal traits believed to distinguish leaders from non-leaders. These theories are based on the belief that leaders are “born and not made”. In other words, they assume that the capacity to be a good leader is “inbuilt” and acquired from birth rather than being developed through knowledge acquisition and experience. Early researchers emphasized on the relationship between leadership and personality. However, little evidence was given from these studies. Nonetheless, recent studies by scholars such as Lord and Maher (2003) have shown some significant correlations between the perceptions of leadership and some personal traits such as intelligence, dominance and masculinity. Leadership style theories Studies indicated that leaders could be recognised based on their styles of leadership (behavioural style) rather than mere personality traits. In this case, two different styles were recognised- task oriented style and relationship oriented style. In task-oriented style, the leader is concerned with activities related to tasks. Such activities include allocation of functions and setting of deadlines. On the other hand, relationship-oriented leaders focus on their subjects. They focus on issues such as being approachable, friendly and developing effective communication protocols. Based on these theoretical approaches, some leadership styles are recognised. For instance, autocratic leaders are task-oriented while democratic leaders tend to be relationship-oriented. In addition, using Likert’s typology, four types of leadership styles are recognized- exploitive, consultative, benevolent and participative leadership styles. Contemporary leadership theories Contemporary or new theories of leadership include two main styles- charismatic and transformational leadership. A charismatic leader is the one who possess the ability to inspire his or her subordinates through demonstration and communication of his or her visions and initiatives. On the other hand, transformational theory of leadership is based on the tenet that leadership is an interactive process that transforms leaders and their followers, resulting into positive outcomes of an organization. Transformational theory of leadership encompasses four components of leadership- having idealistic influence, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation and individualised consideration. Lea
Evaluate the mission statement of HealthFull. Explain HealthFull’s mission statement is: “We are careful at HealthFull: We only commend what we recommend.” This mission statement is effective due to its linguistic structure and the way it reflects the company’s values. Besides, the repetition of sounds creates a rhyme that makes the statement memorable, thus enabling potential customers to memorize and recognize the company. This aids marketing efforts and contributes to HealthFull’s positive image among customers and partners. The mission statement followed by HealthFull also reflects the company’s core values of integrity, responsibility, and caution. Since these are the company’s main promises to customers, and they have been instrumental in shaping HealthFull’s reputation, this aspect of the mission statement is also helpful. The mission statement can be seen to be efficient in its purpose and contributes to HealthFull’s positive brand image. List and explain three major ethical issues the PharmAdvance’s deal may raise? The deal with PharmAdvance can threaten the company due to ethical concerns, which would have significant consequences for HealthFull. First of all, it would be unethical for HealthFull to promote a product with serious side effects because customers trust their advertisements and would likely buy the product without understanding the adverse effects in full. In this case, HealthFull would be at least partly to blame for any medical conditions or deaths of customers resulting from the use of the product. The second ethical issue is that the impaired reputation of HealthFull following its deal with PharmAdvance could affect customers’ trust in its other recommendations. As a result, even companies that provide high-quality products and services might suffer from HealthFull’s mistake. This might cost the company its loyal partners and clients, which may be more valuable in the long-term than initial financial gain from PharmAdvance. The third ethical issue is that taking on the contract with PharmAdvance can set a precedent for the future, making management less careful with regards to products accepted for advertisement. Even if the drug produced by PharmAdvance turns out to be safe, poor attention to potential risks will likely result in the poor quality of other products. Overall, these three ethical issues should be considered by Health Full management before making any decision. Do you think that HealthFull’s senior management team is a good fit for its culture? Explain Organizational culture is an important concept that identifies the shared values and attitudes that are upheld by the company and its employees (Katzenbach et al.). In the present case, it is evident that the senior management team does not share the values that HealthFull stands for, and thus it is not a good fit for the company’s culture. Firstly, HealthFull has become famous for valuing the safety of consumers because the company has a ve
Introduction The Taliban is a terrorist Islamist group with militia views, primarily based in Afghanistan and it is led by Mullah Omar. The Taliban is an internationally recognized terrorist group, linked with terrorist activities and their supports of terror acts it has committed against humanity. The Taliban has also been known to attack groups that are against Afghanistan and also responsible for the loss of many lives in Afghanistan and in other parts of the world. Their dominance in Afghanistan has been overwhelming for the government to an extent that they take control of a given portion of the country. The poppy rich fields that are used to plant opium are found in South and Southwest of Afghanistan. The Taliban group makes a lot of money from the trade of opium, and they use the money to fund both domestic and international terrorism. The drug trade has been thriving for a long time which is believed to contribute to the high level of corruption and threat of terrorism for the Afghan nationals. The Taliban’s are merciless to citizens that might try to hinder the group’s operations. Drug trade is one of the major sources of finances for this group and they need the money to accomplish their strategic goals which include targeting of the US interests and other local groups in Afghan that might be rivals of the Taliban. The groups targeted are those bringing oppression and taxes to the locals. This paper looks at how drugs influence the current funding of domestic terrorism and the obstacles encountered by the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) troops in their ongoing war on terrorism and drugs. Also, the paper looks at the ways in which the drugs affect the local population from acts of domestic terrorism. In addition, the paper covers locations of drug farms in Pakistan tribal grounds where the Pakistan and the US Forces cannot enter due to the agreement of the US forces made with the tribal leaders. Background Review The drug war in Afghanistan has been going on for a long time and had negative effects in Afghanistan. This has led to corruption in the government and in the police force making the region politically and economically destabilized due to the exchange of money making the government lose a lot. This can be illustrated by families contributing money in order to stay in political positions in government making them have control of the drug trade in the region (Qassem, 2009). The poppy trade has led to the development of activities mainly controlled by the Taliban, because they have the money to fund all the operations in various parts of the world. Rollins (2010) suggests that the Taliban initially depended on donations from sympathizers’ and collections from innocent locals to fund their activities before turning to other methods like drug selling and asking for rans
It is necessary to note that both countries do not have a particular set of laws and codes that focus on corporate social responsibility (CSR). Thus, the UK Corporate Governance Code regulates various processes, but it does not directly refer to CSR ( Corporate Social Responsibility – the UK Corporate Governance Code par. 1). At the same time, the code’s provisions include various regulations that are consistent with CSR. For instance, the Turnbull Guidance (which is a part of the UK Corporate Governance Code) holds it that companies should strive for the reduction of risks associated with “health, safety and environmental, reputation, and business probity issues” (qt. in Corporate Social Responsibility – the UK Corporate Governance Code par. 3). Another regulation concerned with SCR is the Companies Act 2006 where it is stated that companies should address environmental issues. When it comes to the UAE, CSR regulations are mainly inserted in various acts. It is important to note that Emirati companies follow the Sharia law alongside with particular governmental regulations (Hawa 25). The Sharia law is deeply rooted in the Islamic religious culture. The Shariah principles involve the facilitation of moral practices consistent with societal values, the focus on socially responsible activities in the financial sphere, the development, and compliance with “responsible values based management practices and products” (Hawa 25). One of the examples of practices inspired by the religion and accepted in the business world is the commitment to Zakat. Zakat is a practice of donating 2.5% of the income to those in need. This practice is widely used by Emirati companies. When it comes to particular regulations, one of the ways to maintain corporate social responsibility in the business world as seen by the governments of many countries is reporting. The UK and the UAE have a similar position in this respect. Thus, under the Company Act 2006, UK organizations are required to provide relevant information concerning financial performances as well as practices related to CSR (Grayson 433). Reporting in the Emirati business law is not one of the highest priorities. However, companies use the provisions of such initiatives and guidelines as ISO14001, UN Global Compact, and the Global Reporting Initiative (Mahajan 426). It is necessary to add that the UAE still has quite a low rate (22%) of CSR reporting ( The KPMG Survey of Corporate Responsibility Reporting 12). One of the spheres that have considerable attention in both countries is environmental protection. As far
Many a times, people raise the question on the origin of religion; in addition, this question has fascinated philosophers as well as scientists throughout the centuries (Johnstone 21). Different religions have different practices of what they believe in and so the question remains; what is the origin of these practices. Where did the notion that God exists come from? Due to these questions, many different answers have been given as a way of satisfying people’s curiosity. From my definition, religion is anything that a person relies on, which has pivotal value, whereby the person discovers indispensable wholeness as both an individual and person in the society. Nevertheless, religion can have numerous definitions particularly based on a person’s experience. The emergence of Christianity gives the simplest answer as to where religion came from since it gives the answer that God came up with the idea of religion. Religious teachings, especially Christianity, record that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. He created a man, animals, and everything else in the world and while in the Garden of Eden, he instilled rules that he wanted people in the garden to follow. He also revealed his intentions by using prophets to get his message across to the people, and through this process, they recorded his words. In this process, there emerged the creation of religion via revelation. Christianity is not the only religion where there is divine origin; for instance, the founder of Buddhism, Gautama Buddha, stated that he received heavenly inspiration in his search for the truth as he sat under the tree known as bo (Johnstone 23). Therefore, he got his religious practices thro
