Comparative Discussion Social worker working in a hospital provides services to in-patient, out-patient and programs of the community. Encountering changes and difficulties with your health can be a very hard and worrying moment for patients and their family. There are numerous alarms and problems which can crop up for patients as they take medication and plan for their future. In a hospital setting, social workers have values, ethics and principles to uphold. These principles and ethics help them maintain a favorable hospital setting. They provide help to patients and their families with regard to the extensive range of individual concerns and pragmatic needs which may occur during treatment. These key vales, ethics and principles include;   * Understanding the hospital and the health services given by the hospital   * Planning for release from hospital   * Support in adjusting to ill health   * Giving counsel and emotional support   * Providing Information, encouragement and advocacy for patients   * Giving Information and planning about planning for Residential care Social Work is dedicated to working with patients and helping them to achieve the best possible levels of individual and social welfare in the context of sickness, disability, medication and recuperation. This is channeled by a vow to the pursuit of social justice and the enrichment of quality of life (Barsky 2009, p. 81). This is attained through immediate service provision, teaching and research and contributes to the objective of providing most favorable health care. Social Work is loyal to these essential values:   * Human self-esteem and individual value   * Social Justice   * Service to humankind   * Integrity and honesty   * Competency Social work is based on reverence for the inbuilt value and self-respect of all people, and the rights that follow from this. Social workers ought to support and guard each person’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual uprightness and welfare. This entails:   * Valuing the right to sovereignty – Social workers working in a hospital ward ought to value and give their support to patient’s human rights to make their own decisions, regardless of their principles and choices, as long as this does not impede the rightful interests of other people.   * Encouraging the involvement right – Social workers are supposed to encourage patients to participate fully in ways issues affecting their lives.   * Handling every patient individually   * Discovering and developing strengths Social workers and Nurses working in a hospital ward have different duties to carry. However some of their ethics, values and principles are similar while others are different. Social workers and nurses work hand in hand. The ethical values provide a basis for nursing foundation (Dixon 2002, p. 74). Ethical values/principles are described as a foundation for nurses’ decision making. The main and fundamental principles for nurses include   * Respect for independence   * Non-maleficence   * Beneficience   * Integrity   * Justice When m
Introduction Various medical establishments exist to provide people with appropriate care and improve their health. However, it can occur that not all organizations manage to cope with these tasks. That is why it is reasonable to evaluate medical facilities to determine whether they offer high-quality care. One can state that the Mount Sinai Medical Center is efficient, and the analysis of the organization, its strengths, limitations, care delivery system and outcomes proves it. Introduction of the Organization The paper focuses on the Mount Sinai Medical Center located in Miami Beach, Florida. It is a private and not-for-profit teaching facility offering a 672-patient capacity. The selected medical center provides a wide range of services, including critical care, rehabilitation, plastic surgery, pediatrics, ophthalmology, general surgery, and many others. That is why it is not a surprise that this medical establishment focuses on the entire society without giving precedence to specific population groups. Over its long history, the medical establishment has received many accreditations, and the one from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers is among them. The medical center invests in establishing and maintaining a good relationship with the community. The C.A.R.E.S. (community activities reflecting employee service) program encourages employees to give back to the community through charity and social events. Examination of the Organization Mount Sinai Medical Center has all the necessary elements of an organization. According to its official website, the center’s mission is to provide diverse community members with hig
Introduction Concerns surrounding regional integration have always dominated debates surrounding economic development. Indeed, many international organisations, such as the United Nations (UN) and Mo’Ibrahim Foundation have singled out regional integration as a key developmental concept of the developed and developing world. 1 Accordingly, the last few decades have seen the emergence of several regional economic blocks that strive to foster economic growth in different parts of the world. For example, Apple Inc., and Boeing have successfully incorporated the concept of regional integration in their production processes. Relative to this assertion, one researcher, Meng, says, ‘Firms that are expanding their cross-border activities, such as vertical specialisation trade, outsourcing, and fragmentation products, have brought dramatic changes to the global economy in the last two decades.’ 2 The increased dominance of global firms in the international business space has especially spurred the expansion of regional integration activities. Piasecki says the activities of these multinational corporations (MNCs) highlight the emergence of global value chains, which outline a representative phenomenon that includes vertical specialisation, fragmented production, outsourcing, and global supply chains. 3 Using different languages and frames of analysis to understand regional integration, one issue underlies this concept – higher volumes of different goods produced across different countries and re-exported to other countries to undergo further production processes. Piasecki explains this phenomenon as the “second unbundling,” which is characterised by lower communication and fragmented production processes. 4 Essentially, many economists perceive regional integration through the lens of the creation of free trade areas, infrastructure development, and similar economic opportunities that emerge when member countries integrate. 5 With this new front of economic growth, many observers have posed questions regarding what regional integration offers to international businesses. Indeed, given the challenges faced by pioneers of regional integration, such as the World Trade Organisation (WTO), there has been considerable attention in academic circles accorded to this issue. 6 This new interest stems from the fact that patterns of economic integration, in the last decade, demand new areas of discipline, which transcend the rules laid out by the WTO. While it is important to redefine these rules and underscore the challenges experienced by different countries as they integrate, few researchers would dispute the fact that regional integration is here
Executive Summary Background Computers have become as integrated into our work environments as the telephone. All departments use computers for their core activities and when computers or networks fail, the impact on business is perhaps greater than when telephone service is unavailable. Additionally, to ensure business continuity in the event of a disaster, a strong disaster recovery and business continuance program need to be placed. Typically, only those departments that have technical resources and a sizable technology budget can absorb the costs associated with hardware, software, and information technology (IT) staff necessary to support an internal IT organization and infrastructure. Establishment of ITS To meet the challenge of IT business continuity and rising IT costs for County departments, we have formed a new service offering called Information Technology Shared Services (ITSS), described in this Products and Services Guide. ITSS has been designed to provide centralized information technology (IT) services that will provide departments with cost-effective access to our IT infrastructure, technologies, and expertise thereby leveraging the redundant tasks and costs associated with Desktop support, File/Print Services, and Messaging Services. ITSS Mission The mission of ITSS is to provide reliable, available, and secure centralized IT services to customer departments in a responsive and cost-effective manner for the following IT Services:  1. Implementation Support.  2. Centralized Messaging and File/Print Services.  3. Centralized Desktop Services.  4. Business Systems Support. Benefits By participating in ITSS, departments benefit by: Focusing their resources on their main mission tasks rather than on the IT back-office and desktop services. Freedom from having to recruit, hire and retain technical resources required to care for these types of services. Reducing costs and improving services through consolidation of hardware, software, and staffing. Receiving 24/7 support from our Customer Assistance Center. Being better positioned to take advantage of emerging Countywide IT services such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Internet content filtering, managed instant messaging, wireless access, Secured Socket Layer (SSL) and Virtual Private Network (VPN) remote access and mobile device access. Pricing Structure One Time Costs Funding to upgrade and/or replace hardware and software, licenses and telecommunications, to meet the Standard, as required, will be provided by the client department. However, at no cost, we will conduct an assessment of the client department’s IT infrastructure, determine hardware/software, license, and telecommunication upgrades required to join ITSS, and provide assistance to the client in completing the upgrade. When the upgrades are completed and the data and files are ready for migration to ITSS, all transfer activities are performed by ISD at no cost. Ongoing Costs The rate for ITSS service is $1,325 per client computin
Webster Health System is a hospital and for-profit organization that is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association and is an affiliate of the OHA (Osteopathic Hospitals of America, Inc.) (Seidel & Lewis, 2014). Its main competitor in the market is the Middleboro Community Hospital, currently named MIDCARE. Being an affiliate member of OHA presents both opportunities to the hospital but also results in some weaknesses that affect its efficiency. The paper aims to show the company’s strengths (or business advantages), weaknesses (areas where improvement is needed), opportunities (potential beneficial areas that the company can use), and threats (external factors that can negatively affect the company).

Abstract The main objective of this report is to analyze the financial ratios of Dubai Islamic Bank to evaluate the performances over a period of six years (from 2012 to 2017). From the result of the liquidity, safety, debt management, profitability, operational efficiency ratios, and DuPont system analysis, this report will identify financial strengths and weakness of this bank and will address where the company is not performing well and areas for improvement. Furthermore, this project focuses on the comparative analysis of the financial statement using common size tools, such as, vertical and horizontal analysis of income statement and balance sheet to assess the financial trends, area of success, and response of this Bank. Here, different financial ratios of this bank will be presented by rearranging and simplifying the data from the financial statement of DIB group and the analysis will be done by creating relationship among the information of the balance sheet regarding the profit and loss account and by examining the viability, stability as well as the profitability of DIB group. Background of Dubai Islamic Bank As a pioneer of modern Islamic banking ‘Dubai Islamic Bank’ (DIB) was established in 1975, which is carried out a new approach in the conventional bank arena by upholding the strong business principles of Islamic Sharia pointed to the honest and fair deal at every step of trade and commerce. After four decades of operation, DIB is now an undisputed leader in the field of Islamic banking and its model of the financial institution has recognized globally; therefore, many foreign bankers are following its footprint of success for Sharia-compliant banking products those are the most popular religious mined Muslim countries (Dubai Islamic Bank, Annual Report 2017 18). UAE-based DIB further engaged the most giant Islamic banking professionals to generate new banking products and services such as Johara for women banking, Shaatir for children banking, Tamweel for housing and real estate, and Wajaha for wealth management and turned into the global leader of the global financial services industry (Dubai Islamic Bank, Annual Report 2015 14). Beside the banking sector, the DIB group also holds more than thirty subsidiaries in the automobile, brokerage, garments manufacturing, financial and legal advisory, and real estate development both in national and international market (Dubai Islamic Bank, Annual Report 2013 12). Liquidity Ratios The ‘Liquidity Ratios’ of the Dubai Islamic Bank is the indicator of DIB group to what extent it is capable of meeting up concurrent financial obligations as well as dues liability in the market from its present resources; thus, it is also termed as “Short-term Solvency Ratios” of that company. The short-range creditors as well as interim suppliers of the Dubai Islamic Bank are mostly concerned to know the liquidity ratios of that company, as they are highly interested to be paid as promptly as possibl
An education voucher is also known as a school voucher. It is a certificate that enables parents to pay for their children’s education at a school of their own choice rather than the public school made mandatory for their children to attend. This concept is not a new one, it was proposed as early as the 1950s by famous economist Milton Friedman who intended this to be the way of promoting competition among schools and consequently lead to enhancement of education quality. Since then, countries all over the world have introduced vouchers in their education reforms but this has been the most controversial area in education as it has split views owing to differing ideologies and the stance of unions in education. Education vouchers work to ultimately serve the purpose of providing a better quality of education to students. For example, in Cleveland, vouchers are funded through public finances and are t
Community violence is an important issue the discussion of which is vital especially these days when the United States of America ranks first among the most violent countries of the industrialized world. One-third of all homicides occur among persons aged 15 to 24, and it is the leading cause of death among black males in this age group (Jessica Hamblen & Carole Goguen). Community violence is a complex term that has been used to refer to a wide range of events including riots, sniper attacks, gang wars, drive-by shootings, workplace assaults, terrorist attacks, torture, bombings, war, ethnic cleansing, and widespread sexual, physical, and emotional abuse (Jessica Hamblen & Carole Goguen). It is faced by several children, adolescents, and adult people as well contributing to their sad traumatic experience and leaving the most unpleasant memories and associations. Community violence takes place because of poor living standards and leads to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder of those who either experienced or witnessed it. The causes of the community violence Community violence does not emerge out of anything and usually has a strong background behind it. The scientists state that the root causes include “poverty and inequity and discrimination in education, employment, criminal justice, health, and other fields” (Frank de Jesús Acosta, Henry Ramos, Luis Rodriguez 16). There is no doubt that people who are satisfied with their way of living won’t start robbing and assaulting others in the streets just for the mere satisfaction of inner demands. It is mostly that those who are oppressed, humiliated, or dissatisfied with their lives as well as those bearing insult for being treated not equally are more apt to infringement of the law and community violence. The effects of community violence In most cases, after experiencing community violence people face Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which is typical not only for children and adolescents but also for adults. At this children go through PTSD more painfully since being subjected to violence affects, first of all, their mental state. PTSD experience usually reflects on the general behavior of children and interaction with their peers: “They may become withdrawn, fearful, or aggressive, and they may have difficulty paying attention” (Jessica Hamblen & Carole Goguen). PTSD may also result in children’s engaging with games based on violence as well as in aggressive behavior towards their parents and peers. As far as adolescents are concerned, they also face serious psychological problems after experiencing community violence. Because they are in a very sensitive stage of development, PTSD may lead to negative results information of their identity: “They can become depressed, angry, distrustful, fearful, and alienated, and they may feel betrayed” (Jessica Hamblen & Carole Goguen). There is no doubt that violence reflects on adolescents’ future life and their interaction with peers; some of the “trauma-related reactions can include impaired self-esteem and body image, learning difficulties, and
The story’s backdrop is a storm that was about to pummel a small town. But the meat of the story is contained in the storm within the hearts of two lead characters – a man and a woman. In order to be more specific, it must be made clear that they are both married but not to each other. Calixta was the wife of Bobinot and Alcee was the husband of Clarisse. Calixta and Alcee knew each other a long time ago but as Chopin had pointed out they were now considered strangers after each went their separate ways and with their own families. But it seems that Calixta and Alcee could not wipe away the memories of those years gone by when both were attracted to each other. And now, when the storm was about to hit, Calixta’s home was about to become like a garden and Alcee will come in like a snake tempting her and she will give in to that temptation but only until the storm is above them, when it is gone so will the storm within. There are many critics who find no problem in describing what happened within Calixta’s home and how she succumbed to temptation. They focused on the words used by the author and made comments regarding its daring and it was too advanced for her time (Ward, p.89). Candace Ward, one of those who studied Chopin up close had the same verdict but just like many others she too find it difficult to explain without a shadow of doubt that indeed Calixta will continue with the affair. It is true that she gave in to her desire and invited Alcee in to his heart but it can also be said that it was a fleeting moment. The author of this short story, Kate Chopin seems to have the same conclusion because at the end of the short piece she wrote that after the passing of the storm everyone was happy. On the other hand this can be interpreted to mean another thing and it is the happiness experienced by two adulterers who happen to make a connection because of the storm. Thus, this “happiness” has different shades of meaning (Chopin, par.5). It is different from the point of view of Bobinot the husband of Calixta because he was happy that his family is safe. It is also different from the point of view of Alcee because after the storm had passed it has been clear to him that he needed to see Calixta once again and this helps explains his letter to his wife to extend her vacation for a month or so. Calixta’s happiness is more difficult to analyze. She is happy for her husband and child’s safe return after the storm. She is happy being reacquainted with Alcee. But she could also be happy that the storm has ended so that Alcee could now go away. Now, whether she wanted Alcee back or not is something not easy to determine. One thing is clear; Alcee will try to find another way back to her heart. Conclusion When the storm clouds gathered and the dark skies warned of imminent danger, people with wisdom tried to stay indoors. But Alcee ventured into the home of his former lover Calixta. And when she unwittingly allowed her to c
