Introduction In their effort to reduce cost of treatment, the Minnesota Hospital firstly identified five avoidable negative situations on July 2, 2010, with four more events suggested on May 15, 2011. They have developed a plan for assisting control costs through rejection of payment of the greater analytic class when these situations happen as an inferior analysis in intensive healthcare section. This practice, which started a gradual implementation in the intensive-care environment on 13 November 2009, has generated a few logistical and adoption issues in the medical field. The economic inferences for pressure-based ulcers will be measured through the Available on Admission Pointer (AAP). The AAP determines if patients have pressure-based ulcers during admission (Marquis & Huston, 2012). Hospital-based ulcers are normally those that initially develop 3 days after patients are hospitalized in a hospital or any other Medicare institution. Hospital-based ulcers may be caused by surgical practices, a catheter inserted in the urinary position or a blood vessel, or by materials from the nose that are breathed into the body. Any hospitalized patient is prone to getting hospital-based wounds. Certain inpatients are more vulnerable than others – old people, children, and a person with compromised immune system are candidates for hospital wounds. A hospital infection can be caused by a parasite, fungus, or virus. Such micro-organisms may originate from the hospital surrounding, infected hospital equipments, staff, or other inpatients (Bennet et al., 2008; Sussman & Jensen, 2007). Problem statement Currently there is a replenished necessity and increased focus on prevention since starting on November 15, 2012, the hospice will not get extra funds to treat patients who have acquired the pressure-based ulcers while undergoing treatment. Like any pioneering practice, this presents drive for change. We see this disbursement as taxing, but one that gives all nursing staffs and in particular ulcer safety professionals with a chance for assuming headship in critical protective health safety strategies. Goal for planned change The goal of the safety plan is that pressure-based would evaluation, ulcer inspection and prevention strategy will take place constantly for patients undergoing treatment not only at intensive care department, but also at the outpatient environments. Besides, it is an aspiration that pressure-based would risk evaluation will turn out to be a patient safety critical indicator (Huston, 2010). Objectives The objectives of this safety plan include: minimizing the occurrence of pressure-based would development, precisely identifying people at risk of getting press
Social media platform With the current developments in scientific innovations and inventions, there are new ways of communicating, interacting and passing information. Social networks have been used by companies, individuals and in some place the government to share and pass information. The main reason that has lead to the growth in social media networks is the cost associated and their effectiveness. When something has been posted over the social media, it can easily spread to the intended people. According to Dasf, in modern computerized world, people seem to be more connected to their electronic gadgets that they interact face to face. I have an account with Facebook; this is the account that I use to communicate with my friend, pass information to the world and meet new friends. Regularly, I update my account with what I feel should be discussed or I should get views of different people; sometimes it may be a joke and others some serious stuffs. Dasf is of the opinion that new relationships and friendships are developing and growing into new heights through social networks. When I am updating the site and commenting on other peoples posts, I am balancing my online life and offline life; it is worth noting that the site can be “addictive,” thus I have to ensure that I have budgeted my time wisely that it does not spend my working and reading time (Danah, “ White Flight in Networked Public”) . Facebook comments and updates can be accessed to a number of people; the site offers some linkage from one person to another; however to maintain my privacy and shape my public image, I ensure that I post things that are ethically and morally acceptable. They are things that might be happening in the social networks but the way I put the matter in the form of language and tone of the posting is to ensure that I give my opinion and it portrays my high values and respect to other peoples opinions’. On the other hand, my social network site has offered security platform adjustments. A link that allows me to limit the number of people who can see my profile; for example, I have ensured that only my friends have an access to my private information. I also vet my friends before upgrading them to the level of friends who can see my profile. Dana Boyd is of the opinion that despite the invention of social networks across space, time and geographical areas, then, “Privacy Is Not Dead,” people can still initiate policies that facilitate privacy and limit the access of private information. The approach that Facebook has taken is o
The Benefits of Gatorade Gatorade is the brand name for the non-carbonated sports drink bottled by Britvic plc under the license of PepsiCo. Gatorade is the drink of choice for persons undertaking physical activities particularly strenuous sports games and long workouts that require a lot of energy and water. As a result, Gatorade is formulated to provide quick re-hydration of the body, and replace the expended carbohydrates and lost electrolytes. Therefore, there are many benefits associated with Gatorade. For example, Gatorade is an effective beverage in occasions where fluid, carbohydrate, and electrolyte replenishment is desirable (Rovell 202). Here, it is worth noting that Gatorade contains adequate amounts of carbohydrates, water, and minerals, which aid in the production of the much-needed energy, provision of sodium and potassium ions, and rehydrating the body during physical activities. Furthermore, the sodium ions in the beverage are important in terms of giving Gatorade a favorable taste that encourages people to continue drinking, and thus, complete fluid retention in the body is achieved after consuming Gatorade. And as a result of increased fluid retention, the physiological functions of the body are maintained at an optimal level (Holland 67). Furthermore, Gatorade enables individuals to avoid various problems associated with physical activities including dehydration, fainting, heat cramps, heat stroke, and heat exhaustion. Conversely, besides carbohydrates in Gatorade speeding up re-hydration, the formulation also avails expendable energy (carbohydrates) to active muscles, and thus, speeding up physical performance (Rovell 202-205). Moreover, Gatorade consists of some sucrose and fructose, which add sweetness to the beverage besides stimulating fluid absorption and availing energy to working muscles. Overall, despite that Gatorade is recommended for physically active individuals, any person including diabetics and children can consume the drink because it has proven to be effective in terms of providing expendable energy, electrolytes, and water for people to stay active and hydrated at all times (Holland 69). Sources of Brand Equity for Gatorade Studies note that when a company offers certain competitive advantages for one of its brands, the profits or benefits that accrue from this exercise are known to as brand equity. As a result, there are many techniques through which companies achieve brand equity for their products. Conversely, sources of brand equity can be categorized into product familiarity, product attributes, product availability, and corporate image (Navarro 104). Hence, Gatorade achieves brand equity because it is a familiar brand internationally. Furthermore, the brand is produced and marketed by companies that have earned global recognition in terms of producing quality soft drinks. However, a notable source of Gatorade’s familiarity entails the brand’s association with characters and celebrities in the sports arena. Here, the brand has attracted a huge crowd of adults and kids who idolize sport-persons such as
Numerous companies are facing soaring demand for their products and need to implement certain changes in order to meet it. One of the typical examples is the automobile industry, as multiple companies which had long been betting on electric vehicles finally got a chance to prove their efficiency as a business. The demand has skyrocketed, and local producers are rapidly searching for new models which can allow them to ship substantial amounts of their goods and car components to regions where they do not currently have plants. Tesla and multiple Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers represent an excellent example of companies facing such a challenge. Tesla has plants only in the US, a few European countries, and in Shanghai. It is clearly not enough given the rising popularity of the new type of vehicles. The company cannot afford to waste time on inefficient shipment routes. In a couple of years, numerous electric car producers will emerge all around the globe, and it will become much more challenging for an American company to penetrate some markets. Thus, shipping its vehicles and parts to Latin America, Eastern Europe, Asian countries, and cities across China is becoming central to the company’s future success. The Transportation Model described in “Business Analytics: Data Analysis & Decision Making” alongside other optimization models provide the best solutions. The tools which are illustrated by Albright and Winston (2016) can help any local car dealer, distribut
A serial killer is defined as any person who manages to kill three or more people with enough time intervals between each killing. Most of the time, crimes of men serial killers are heard regularly as they are more horrible than that of women serial killers. As for the men, they do their crimes in a brutal manner and damage the bodies of the victims (Hickey 52). Another reason that make men serial killers to be common than women serial killers is because of the methods they use to kill their victims. According to the profile analysis, 40% of the men’s victims are killed by firearms, 38% are denied some oxygen, and 35% are stubbed the most sensitive body parts, and some small percentages are killed by poisoning or drowning. In addition, most of the men serial killers do not hide or deny their actions, but they rather draw some attention with their actions (Hickey 68). The physical counting of the men serial killers victims is very high compare to that of women serial killers. The main difference between women serial killers and men serial killers is that, women try to keep their actions under cover, without drawing any attention. Women serial killers can be referred to as gentle murderers because the methods they use to kill their victims are not brutal. According to the profile analysis, approximately 80% of their victims, women make use of poisoning to kill them. Although they also use some other methods like shooting, suffocating, and drowning, they prefer the silent killing methods. Women serial killers are not known to be violent in most of the time like their counterparts. Men serial killers have been spotted to be violent even to small children, and sexually harassing their victims dead or alive. Men serial killers start by giving their victims some pornographic materials, so as to make them psychologically prepared before they rape them (Hickey 112). An example of a man serial killer is Jack the Ripper from London. He brutally killed people for three months in 1888 among them five prostitutes. Jack did not hide his actions, as he went to an extent of mutilating and dissecting the bodies of his victims openly. Most of the men serial killers fall under the category of missionary killers who perform their act of killing to some specific groups of people like prostitutes or homosexuals. An example of a women se
Almbark, R., Bouchhioua, N., & Hellmuth, S. (2014). ‘Acquiring the phonetics and phonology of English word stress: Comparing learners from different l1 backgrounds. C oncordia working papers in applied linguistics. This article investigates how learners using English as their second language stress words in the English vocabulary and how they realize the stress. The authors examine phonetics in a small Arab population that speaks English as their second language because Arabic has different dialects across people, which can help understand how each dialect realizes stress words in English. The authors use two sub-groups to explore stress word realization in various populations. The first subgroups involve stress realization among different Arabic dialects, while the second group compares the word stress between Native English speakers and Arabic English speakers. The authors use a qualitative approach in collecting and analyzing data that answers whether different Arabic dialects affect stress realization on particular words. Consequently, the authors also use the analyzed data to identify stress words between Arabic and native English speakers to understand the most stressed sounds in a word or phrase among people using English as their second language. The authors analyze data through auditing read speech qualitatively in both sub-groups and comparing the differences in stress on specific words. Findings indicate that both Arabic dialects have the same stress realization on phonetics. Thus, different dialects do not have an impact on how Arab’s stress in the English language. On the other hand, there was a significant difference in the word stress between native English speakers and Arabic English speakers, confirming that communities using English as a second have distinct word stress during communication. Finally, the study recommends further studies on the perception that dual English users can identify stress words quickly than native English speakers because they stress vowels in vocabulary. This research is credible since it uses primary data and qualitative analysis to provide conclusive evidence. It is very informative and can help academic researchers to identify how native language impact stress realization in human phonetics. Chahal, D., & Hellmuth, S. (2014).

The most important concept in the Johnstone text is that on religious fundamentalism. This can be defined as a style of religion that applies an uncompromising attachment to certain “fundamental” tenets of a faith. Fundamentalists generally are reactionary in nature, seeking to restore the aspects of traditional religious life that have been lost, or rejected in modern times, and to bring about a return to the “old days,” which may be real or imagined. For this reason, fundamentalism has been grouped among the predictable responses to the changes and challenges of modernity. In his book, “ Religion in Society, A Sociology of Religion,” Johnstone focuses mainly on three forms of religious fundamentalism; Protestant fundamentalism, Jewish fundamentalism, and Islamic fundamentalism (Johnstone 5). Protestant Fundamentalism The term fundamentalism was first used to describe a conservative strain of Protestantism that developed in the United States roughly from 1870 to 1925. Protestant fundamentalism emerged in the early twentieth century as a reaction to broad changes in the American society, which was arguably the world leader in modernization at the time. It was a rebellion against the liberal effects of modern education on historic Protestant denominations. The fundamentalists defended what they believed were the authentic orthodox beliefs. Also, they believed these beliefs were under attack by the modernist liberals. Some of the beliefs they cleaved to were biblical inerrancy, the reality of miracles such as the virgin birth and resurrection of Jesus, the deity of Christ, as well as his atonement and pre-millennial second coming (Marsden 15). Unlike many fundamentalist movements today, U.S. Protestant fundamentalism of the early twentieth century was not so much a battle with the secular state as it was an intra-religious fight with other U.S. Protestant organizations. These other U.S. Protestant organizations were attempting to modernize their religion to be, in the progressive Protestant view, relevant for a new time. Fundamentalists of this era were militantly opposed to modernizing the Christian faith, and militantly opposed to cultural changes endorsed by modernism (Marsden 4). Jewish Fundamentalism Since the ancient times, Hebrew prophets and other devotees were constantly trying to bring the people back to the right worship of their God. When Israel came under the Greeks and then Romans rule, this created a new fundamentalist dynamic as they were now faced with cultural as well as religious assimilation and syncretism. Some Israelites adopted the culture of the foreigners, as prestige or as defiance of traditional Jewish authority while some mixed old and new cultures, and molded something locally unique from the mixture. However, there were those who held firmly to the “old religion” and even became militant champions of orthodoxy against outside and inside challenges. Many followers were willing to die for their religious truths. The Essenes and the Maccabees are t
The problem of justice arose at the times when courts appeared. This problem is not so new; it was the consideration of many people hundreds of years ago. The possibility of justice for people without any power and without any financial support is the one of the main items which worry people in modern world. Lots of people face this problem and very often they cannot decide this problem in their favor. Different people have different understandings of justice especially if they are on different sides of item called law . Some people are eager to fight till the end to prove their case, even if they have no any law power and support. There are people who believe in law and justice and there are people who deny it. A good example of persistence in looking for justice and the denying this justice is the novel “The Anarchist: His Dog” by Susan Glaspell. Stubby, the main character wanted a dog but he could not allow it himself as he was feeding all his family and could not find money to pay dog tax. Stubby’s father explains his son that the dog is very expensive and no one cares that they do not have enough money to pay dog tax. He says that there is no justice in reference to poor people in the government, as “doing the best you could make no difference to government; hard-luck stories did not go when it comes to the laws of the land” (Glaspell 2004-139). Stubby’s father insists that he is “against the government. He does not believe in the law and order. The real bad anarchists shoot them that try to enforce the laws of the land” (Glaspell 2004-142). Lots of people do not believe in injustice. Most of them faced this problem and did not win the case. There are lots of examples when people who have no dramatic effect could not prove their case. The problem is universal. As it was already mentioned, people from different sides of law have different understanding of justice and unfortunately, people who have more power and support have more chances to win the court case. The example of injustice in reference to poor people is presented in the newspaper article by Ian Fisher. The author represents the reader with the story of a woman who was raped by a guy who managed to escape from police. The relatives of the woman told that the police did not try hard to catch him. The man was the member of a landowning family, so the victim’s family was sure that he would be able to bribe the police. (Fisher 2002) People often do not believe in justice when influential people are involved in the case. Some people believe injustice under any circumstances. Stubby in the novel by Susan Glaspell tries to do all he can to keep the dog. The father’s disbelief in law pushes him to prove the versa. Stubby tries to convince the police to release him from dog tax as he has no money. “I am an anarchist and do not believe in government or the law and the order. I would not be an anarchist if I c
Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus can throw light on various ethical aspects’ of people’s behavior. For example, one can speak about the responsibility that scientists should take for the long-term implications of their actions. This literary work produces a strong impression on many readers, in part because the author is able to create a memorable character who commits various atrocious acts. He is often described as the Monster by the narrator; nevertheless, readers should ask who the real monster is. In this novel, Mary Shelley focuses on the concept of free will as well as the forces that shape the moral choices of a person. This is the main theme that the writer explores; in this way, she prompts the readers to think about the causes of misfortunes that struck many innocent people. Overall, Mary Shelley strives to show that despite the horrendous acts of the creature, he deserves compassion; moreover, one can say that Victor Frankenstein, who breathed life into this creature, acts much more cruelly because he does not even think about the suffering that he unintentionally causes. This is the main thesis that should be discussed in greater detail. The author lays stress on the despair and helplessness of the monster created by Victor Frankenstein. In order to illustrate his experience, one can look at the following quote, “It was dark when I awoke; I felt cold also, and half frightened, as it were, instinctively, finding myself so desolate” (Shelley 129). Overall, some literary critics argue that the life of this monster can be described as the failed quest for “social sympathy” (Britton 3). The main problem is that other people perceive him only as the Monster that does not have the inner world. Thus treatment is probably the main reason why he accepts evil an inseparable part of human life. Moreover, he does not understand that other people do not deserve his cruel treatment. The narrative constructed by Mary Shelley shows how this lack of sympathy transforms the creature. This is one of the issues that should be identified because it is important for understanding the subsequent actions of this monster and his attitudes toward other people. Additionally, one should keep in mind that this character does not intend to harm other people, before he encounters the cruelty of the society. In fact, this idea seems to be unacceptable to him. More importantly, one can speak about his willingness to help a family struck by hardships. Only when his assistance is rejected by other people, the monster becomes frustrated. This is one of the reasons why he says, “I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on” (Shelley 243). Moreover, he begins to search for the person who exposed him to suffering. One should keep in mind these feelings go unnoticed by other people. Victor Frankenstein does not even admit that this creature is capable of feeling. This is
