The Board of nursing institution is an organization for recognizing the institution’s quality by non-governmental organizations and its compliance with standards. The accreditation procedure is optional in the framework of institutional self-regulation. Assessment of medical institutions must be carried out at the national level by a specially authorized state body. The Board of nursing is designed in such a way as to give objective indicators for an external independent quality assessment. Besides, the organization demonstrates how the management of this institution regulates medical care quality. Currently, the general accreditation of universities in the United States is carried out by agencies of regional associations of educational institutions, and professional associations organize the certification of individual faculties. Accreditation agencies of medical institutions distinguish the following criteria for the professionalism of nursing. The integrity of the institution, efficiency and planning, management and administration, and educational programs determine the qualifications of the staff. The provision of conditions for a comfortable stay in the hospital (library, computers, and material resources) shows the degree of readiness of medical care quality. Researchers in their article “Regulation and accreditation of pre-licensure education of registered nurses,” solve the issue of regulation and accreditation of nursing education, in particular, RN nurses ( Flanders and Baker, 2019). The purpose of the article is to review studies on the accreditation results of pre-licensed training of future licensed nurses. RN nurse is positioned as a physician partner being always in contact with the patient. The nurse satisfies all people’s needs, responds in a timely manner to the deterioration of the physiological and psychological well-being, and builds relationships with relatives of patients. The responsibilities of registered nurses include setting a diagnosis, clinical indicators, required laboratory tests, medications, procedures, a treatment plan, and clarifying the family situation and living conditions at home. Thus, the authors believe that the assessment of RN nurses by accrediting agencies is an urgent issue whose primary goal is to protect the population and ensure the quality of educational programs. Researchers conducted an experiment to determine the leadership qualities of nurses in various care settings in “Mobilizing evidence to improve nursing practice: A qualitative study of leadership roles and processes in four countries” (Harvey et al., 2019). The authors propose the improvement of managerial and incentive leadership mechanisms that ensure the high professionalism of medical personnel in general. Nursing staff management is a focused activity of the heads of medical organizations using professional skills to provide the sufficient work of junior staff in ensuring the assistance of appropriate quality. Accrediting agencies critically evaluate the performance of managing medical facilities, as this criterion is fundamental to the organization of patient health. The leadership positions of
The recent news from China has revealed a major scandal is revolving around the topic of surrogacy. In January 2021, Nectar Gan wrote in her article for CCN that a popular Chinese actress Zheng Shuang was accused of abandoning two surrogate babies in the United States after breaking up with her boyfriend (Gan, 2021). While this incident occurred outside of China, it forced the country to confront the issue and evaluate all aspects of surrogacy. It might seem like a distant issue that does not affect you, yet, as long as surrogacy remains allowed by law, women’s rights remain threatened. I would like to inform you about the ethical and physiological dangers of surrogacy that stand behind the reason for a strict ban on this practice imposed by the Chinese government. To prove my point, I will provide three primary reasons why Chinese people strongly oppose this practice. Medical considerations are providing a substantial argument against surrogacy. In the 2018 review article in BioMed, Simopoulou et al. reveal that all types of traditional surrogacy can lead to severe health damage, ranging from spontaneous abortion and increased chromosomal abnormalities to induced infertility of a surrogate mother (Simopoulou et al., 2018). Patel et al. (2018) further describe the adverse aspects of surrogacy, showing that “many surrogate mothers face emotional problems after having to relinquish the child” (p. 214). Issues do not stop there, as pregnancy in itself is a complicated process that endangers a mother’s life. Surrogacy poses a threat to women’s rights due to severe ethical issues. In her book, Sophie Lewis (2017) states that “baby commodities are a definite part of what gestational labor produces today” (p. 20). Jin-guo and Na Wang (2017) argue that surrogacy allows a woman to turn “the womb into a money-making machine” (p. 380). Płotka et al. (2018) highlight that this phenomenon “causes a devaluation of human life and parenthood,” as it corrupts the notion of blood bond (p. 712). Kristin Lozanski and Irene Shankar discuss how surrogacy can even lead to the return of women to a status of “an object” that can be “rented by prospective parents” (p. 44). Simply put, women will be encouraged to earn a living by sacrificing their health if surrogacy remains unopposed in our society. Moreover, parents who are using surrogate mothers might lack the necessary attitude towards their children and behave irresponsibly. Katharina Beier (2018) discusses how children who are born to surrogate mothers can be a subject to “objectification and instrumentalization” from inadequate parents (p. 258). Moreover, surrogacy creates dangers to the well-being of a child since it prevents its parents from establishing an emotional connection with their kid prior to birth. Yiying Qiu (2021) argues that surrogacy is especially dangerous in China since it allows people to refuse to accept a girl since it might be considered “shameful” (p. 13). This practice is harmful to a society that relies heavily on family bonds. In conclusion, surrogacy was banned in China because surrogacy exploits the health of surrogate mothers and harms their children, it turns human life
Introduction Regression analysis refers to a tool that is used in statistics to establish a relationship between variables, two or more. The aforementioned variables are quantitative, and they include the explanatory variable, also known as the independent variable, and the dependent variable. This relationship between the aforementioned variables is usually represented in form of an equation, or it can even be represented graphically. The function of regression analysis is thus to establish a relationship between the variables using information available about the explanatory variable, and predict values of the dependent variable for decision making. It is therefore apparent that regression analysis is a very useful forecasting tool. Types of regression There are two main types of regression. These are simple regression and multiple regression. In both simple and multiple regression, a regression model is constructed which is presumed to follow a certain distribution. Therefore, regression models can be developed with linear, exponential, or even logarithmic equations. Simple regression This is the type of regression in which there is only one dependent variable and one independent variable. That is, the regression relationship is based on only tow variables. In this case, the explanatory variable is the only unknown in the right side of the regression equation. An example of a linear regression model for simple regression is: Y ^ = bo + b1X Where Y is the dependent variable, X is the explanatory variable, and bo and b1 are constants. The constant bo and b1 are determined by using historical values of X and Y. This gives them values, and therefore, future values of Y can be determined if one has the value of X. To exemplify the applicability of simple regression, consider a case in which population is assumed to have a linear relationship with time. In this case, population can be represented by the variable Y, and time can be represented by the variable X. Historical values of population can be used to get values for the constants, making predictions of future population possible. If the stated histor
Induction aims to welcome new employees in organizations and support them throughout the adjustment to new professional roles. Entering a new company may be stressful and challenging at first. Therefore, some assistance is needed for a feasible integration into work. The given report outlines the potential benefits of induction and represents how it is possible to gain advantages by implementing an effective induction program. Purposes of Induction The major objective of any induction program is the facilitation of employees’ adaptation to new organizational environments. To support faster familiarization with the standards of work and corporate values, the management should train new staff members and introduce them to the team and their job in general. Induction is regarded as one of the most significant elements of the new employee socialization (Nandi 30). It is the process that helps to align organizational values and missions with personal attitudes and patterns of behavior to meet the expectations of the management and achieve desired performance goals. Overall, induction-supported socialization is core to effective employee performance and organizational sustainability. Individual Benefits Work allows employees to fulfill some individual needs, gain benefits, and achieve their own goals. Thus, it is in the interests of every person to become a good performer. But it can be not easy to join the work process at once. In this way, raising employees’ awareness of the things they should or should not do leads to greater individual integration into the work and increased job satisfaction (Nandi 30). Organizational Benefits By welcoming new staff members and developing their knowledge about organizations, the management contributes to better service and greater productivity (Kunene 17). The improved performance is always mediated through individual motivation, and orientation programs allow a better comprehension of individual tasks and functions, kind of behaviors leading to rewards and recognition, etc. Without induction, the process of understanding professional roles and work processes is usually more difficult and less successful. People tend to thrive in the workplace in case they are effectively matched with their jobs. Orientation programs help to reduce this job insecurity to a minimum and, in this way, reduce extra costs associated with increased staff turnover. Induction Program          Activities
Introduction Study problem Marine pollution is increasingly becoming a major concern as the world becomes a global village. Sea transport is one of the most used forms of transport in the modern society as goods move from one part of the world to another. However, the footprints left behind by major shipping companies are leaving a devastating impact on the maritime environment. According to Grech, Horeberry, and Koester (2008), a good example of the devastating impact that human activities have on the maritime environment is the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spillage of 2010. This was a case where BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, leading to a massive oil spillage on the oil floor that lasted close to 90 days (Grammelis 2016). The incident had a massive impact on aquatic life and it also affected human lifestyles, especially of those who rely on deep-water fishing and tourism. The shipping companies also have a serious impact on the maritime environment in terms of the wastes often released into the water. One of the three major pillars of sustainability is the need to protect the environment. For the shipping companies, there is a burden of responsibility to protect the maritime environment at all costs. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has come up with policies that should be followed by shipping companies to ensure that their activities do not have a significant impact on the aquatic environment (International Maritime Organization 2011). Individual firms should also develop their policies, in line with the regulations of IMO, to enhance their ability to operate in an environmentally friendly manner. ADNATCO-NGSCO should be one of those firms taking a leading role in protecting the maritime environment. Research questions ADNATCO-NGSCO has experienced a long period of success due to the oil business on which the entire region of the Middle East relies. As Horck (2005) notes, the Middle East is known for its rich oil reserves, and countries such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Iran, and Kuwait rely on oil export to support their economy. The biggest worry is the impact oil exportation has on the maritime environment (Karim 2014). For ADNATCO-NGSCO, it is important to have ways of ensuring that its operations do not affect the sea environment. The study will look at ways in which the firm’s operations can be safe for the enviro
Product innovation in a business organization requires team work. Product innovation is a project, which requires different team members to play different roles. The organization of the team and communication among team members during innovation is crucial to the success of the team. Effective organization requires that team members with the most suitable skills to work on the innovation project be selected. The teams should also be multi-disciplinary in nature incorporating members from operation department, technical marketing and sales. Members from these various disciplines are required to cooperate when working as a team in order to eliminate communication barrier that may be brought by conflict of interest. The innovation team is supposed to work on the project from its initiation to the end and remain accountable. The project should also have a leader who will be responsible for the implementation of the ideas behind the project, and project teams should accountable for the outcome of the project. However, for the project to succeed, the project team should have an effective communication system. An effective communication system can be realized through a centralized information sharing system. This helps multiple teams work simultaneously on the same idea even if they are at different locations. To ensure that the product teams are communicating well, a business organization should make sure that the information received by product teams are relevant to the current project they are working on and in harmony with the decisions of the organization. Effective communication among product teams also requires that the information passed to the product team to be accurate especially with regard to the potential cost of the project. Product development teams should, therefore, not be supplied with information outside their area of interest because this has the potential distorting the decision process. Effective communication among product teams also requires that these teams should be provided with exhaustive information, especially during the initial stages of product development. Good communication in product development teams also requires that the business organization to ensure communication and collaboration between the firm and its customers. This is because new products in a company are normally developed on behalf of the customers. Prototyping is another method that can be used to ensure the product teams communicate well. Prototyping refers to the process of representing the product being developed. Prototypes enable communication between product designers in an organization and consumers. This ensures that the product design team accurately captures the needs of customers in their design to avoid rejection of the product after it is complete. Another important characteristic of shared information system is that this system needs to be cost effective in order to enable easy communication among product development team
Discussion and Interpretation This study aimed to investigate teachers’ perceptions regarding PLCs’ practice, the role of leadership, and the factors that contribute to or hinder PLCs’ success in Tatweer elementary schools in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Generally, no statistically significant differences were found for the total level of PLC dimensions based on gender, years of teaching experience, and school districts. There were no statistically significant differences in Saudi Arabian Tatweer school teachers’ perceptions based on any of these variables. However, the literature has illustrated that demographic factors, such as teaching experience, can affect the teachers’ perceptions regarding PLCs’ practice (Curry, 2010). To gain more insight into the findings, it is crucial to explain their underpinnings and link them to related literature. Primarily, the concepts of PLCs are used to clarify the findings. Moreover, the interaction between these concepts is beneficial for constructing a complete picture of the results noted. This section presents the study’s findings concerning the research questions initially posed. Second, the results from the study’s null hypotheses are explained and discussed in relation to the corresponding literature. With respect to hypothesizes of the first research question , the findings indicated there was no significant difference between the opinions of teachers regarding the practice of dimensions of professional learning communities (PLCs): shared values and vision, collective learning and application, shared personal practice, supportive conditions – relationships and supportive conditions – structures. Student’s t-test was selected to investigate the differences between males and females when they practice PLC in their schools. The findings of the t-test showed that there was no significant difference (0.05 significance level) between females and males regarding the practice dimensions of PLCs in Tabuk elementary schools, Saudi Arabia. Therefore, the gender variable has no impact on the practice of PLCs. Therefore, these findings contradict the study by Al-Mahdy and Sywelem study, who looked at public-school teachers’ perceptions in three Arab countries as per the dimensions of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Al-Mahdy and Sywelem (2016) found that the Egyptian teachers showed negative perceptions. There were significant differences between male and female Egyptian teachers regarding their perceptions of the degree to which their schools functioned as PLCs. Moreover, the second variable was the duration of teaching experience, which classified teachers into three groups: six years, 7-15 years, and 16 and over years. Lastly, the third variable had to do with schools’ geographical location: north, central, and southern districts. The ANOVA findings revealed no significant differences between these groups regarding the practice of PLC in Tabuk elementary schools, Saudi Arabia. Also, These findings are contradictory to the Mory study (2019). Mory (2019) discovered a statistically significant difference (p =.013) in the PLCA-R overall scores associated with years of t
Textbooks provide us with a great deal of information that has been substantiated by scientific study regarding how human societies are organized and how this affects the individual. To really gain an understanding of these concepts, though, it is helpful to see these theories in application in real-life situations. This was the case with the film “The Family” produced by Jack O. and Judith K. Balswick (2007). In this film, the progression of events is shown as a psychologist helps a family consisting of a father and his two children as they work through the death of the mother. As we watched this film, a number of parallels could be drawn between the information provided in the readings and the events seen in the film. One of the first things we read in the book Family Interaction (Anderson & Sabatelli, 2007) was that there are some predictable tasks that families must meet. The first of these is to “establish a clear identity for the family as a whole and for each individual member” (Anderson & Sabatelli, 2007: 1). Although this had been accomplished in the family seen in the video, these identities were necessarily disrupted by the sudden disappearance of one member, leaving her allocated family roles unattended so the family had to make long-term adaptations to how they would execute their tasks as well as how they identified themselves within the smaller family unit. By suggesting a project that the newly constituted family could work on together, the psychologist was emphasizing the point that they were still a family, they were still linked by a common history, they were still capable of interacting with each other to bring about results and, while they were unique from all other types of families, this was not the result of a missing mother, but was instead a natural part of being a family unit. In the video, the psychologist had the family bond through a project of gathering information about the family’s genealogy on both sides of the family – the father and the deceased mother. One of the main features of a family system is the factor of interdependence in which each family member depends on other family members to perform specific tasks or take up specific roles. In the absence of the mother, one of these supports had been removed and the family was experiencing a period of transition in which all of the old associations no longer worked. By working on a project together, they were forced to begin making new associations and learned how to look to each other, rather than to somewhere outside, to meet the needs of the collective whole. In addition, as they worked through their issues, the father and his children began to develop new strategies for how to work with each other within the softening or buffering system once provided by the mom. Through this process, it could be seen how the family’s metarules were effective in helping the family cope with their issues and begin redefining their identities. As the book illustrates, a great deal of how
