Introduction Quality heath care measurements have turned into a fundamental focal point for scholars and researchers alike, since an assessment of quality health care provision is usually seen as a crucial step when it comes to enhancing the general population health statuses. This is in addition to ensuring that the cost of health care that appears to rise by the day is contained, as well as increasing the levels of confidence amongst the health care system consumers (Beltran 2000). On a global scale, homelessness continues to be a public and social health problem. Nathaniel, Stephanie and Wells (2008) contend that closes to 100 million around the globe are faced with a relative or an absolute level of homelessness. In 2007, it was estimated that 141,000 individuals in the United Kingdom, bore the status of the homeless (Nathaniel et al 2008). This statistic was not inclusive of the homeless in Northern Ireland. According to BBC News (2006), there has been an increase in terms of the number of homeless people in England for the past four decades. What this means therefore is that the provision of services, such as social healthcare by the government, has been rather overstretched. Since homeless individuals are more likely to be also uninsured and by extension, have a reduced access to affordable health care (Adèr, Mellenbergh & Hand 2008), they get by with no medical care, up to a point whereby otherwise minor medical problems turns into an emergency, requiring instant medical attention. In the end, a majority of the homeless persons ends up without treatment (Bardach 2005). Some of the communicable diseases that are both undetected and untreated pose a danger to the rest of the homeless persons (Cymorth 2007) and by extensions, to the larger society. When the homeless individuals ends up not gaining access adequate healthcare, they become vulnerable to a host of illnesses ( English & Morreale 2003) , in effect drastically reducing their lifespan ( Hwang 2001). Griffiths (2002) contend that the average number of years a homeless person may be expected to live is 42 years. From such a perspective therefore, it is the intention of this research study to explore the issue of the challenges that are faced by the homeless youths in Cardiff, in the United Kingdom, as regards access to and provision of health care. Research studies indicate that compared to their adult counterparts, the homeless youths are far more vulnerable, and increasingly underserved, when it comes to the issue of gaining access to health care (Shaw 2000). In order to facilitate in the collection of primary data, to gain insight into the health care need for this vulnerable group, use shall be made of interviews and a semi-structured self-administered questionnaire, as data collection tools. Additionally, focus group interviews will al
Introduction Comparison of human and primate DNA samples may help assess the DNA-building patterns that are used in different organisms. In fact, it is stated that the similarity level of human and primate DNA structures is 98%, (DeWitt, 1) and this paper is aimed at performing a comparative study for differentiating the key patterns of DNA creations and structuring. The tools that will be used for the comparison and analysis are mainly computational and involve the logic calculation principles that are used by DNA chains. Comparison Background In general, the differences between DNA samples are qualitative and quantitative, and this is explained by the fact that these are responsible for the key biological differences between humans and primates. The genomic differences that are generally spotted in the sampled are featured with few DNA pair rearrangements, and these genomic differences are defined by the positions of the four key amino acids. (Frank-Kamenetskii, 306; Giribet, 169; Meyer 406) The logical structure of the DNA samples is not featured with essential differences. Hence, as is stated by Lipman and Pearson (1441), three key alignment regimes may be found in DNA chains: Affine, Arbitrary, and Convex. Therefore, combination classes depend on the logic principles stated by these regimes. (Miyamoto and Cracraft, 313) Therefore, these regimes define the order of classes and superclasses in the logic structure. Additionally, relations between the superclass and its subclasses are given it involves the data structuring methods that are needed by the subclass. (Myers, 112) Samples The Smith-Waterman alignment algorithm is used for the comparison and assessment match =0, mismatch = +1, and gap = +0.1 using constant gap penalty. Therefore, the DNA samples are of the structure given below:   * Human: ATTCACATACAATTAG   * Primate: ATTCACAATAGATACT The alignment sequence that will be used is ATT.
Dick Spencer is a plant manager with an international company. As an American with passion to excel in a foreign country, he is not only experiencing family crisis, but also resentment and hatred at his place of work. Faced with pressure to perform from his seniors, Spencer’s decision to control all departments like finance, human relations, and design among others in his company creates disputes or disagreements, which leads to his failure as an international manager. Consequently, his wife and children start to complain as they feel he is abandoning his family roles. Nevertheless, with the use of authority and political tactics, Spencer should have been able to foresee or solve his conflicts amicably and excel as an international manager. There are three main sources of conflicts in Spencer’s case; first is his inability to trust his junior staff member by thinking they are incompetent. Due to his passion to excel, Spencer took upon himself to supervise all the departments like the finance and design among others, yet there were head of departments or supervisors who could give him the feedback of the company’s progression as the general manager. Despite knowing that he was not good in accountings, he went ahead and got involved in the financial issues of the company. He had the authority to delegate or assign some of his duties to other people or the departmental managers. Therefore, as a foreign manager, he suffocated the junior staff with his presence because some of them wondered why he was all over the company. According to Spencer, his frequent supervisions, meetings, and conferences were to increase the rate of production, which was not the case because the company’s progression was slower than ever. Spencer spent most of his time at work either in the office or in field, which led to the source of the second conflict. Due to his workload, Spencer did not only lack time for his family, but also forgot about the important anniversaries like birthdays and family parties or dinners. Thus, his absence in the family led to marital and family disagreements. As a manager, if he could have a schedule to follow strictly, he could have been able to balance adequately his role as a father, husband, and a manager, which is not the case. Therefore, the inability to balance time between his job and family led to the failure of his first marriage. The third source of conflict is the inability to create good personal relationship while at work. He had both poor listening and communicating skills, which led to frequent disagreements with other people at work. For instance, at one time he forced the supervisor to desert the saw machine and use hands to cu
Introduction Real estate industry is highly dynamic and requires constant monitoring. Its sensitive nature requires business players to be at par with the current technological, economical, social, legal and regulatory trends in the market. Majority of home buyers engages with these trends, in addition to their financial capabilities. Home buyers are keen to buy homes that suit their requirement while putting into consideration the amount of money they have, or their chances of obtaining mortgages. This presents a delicate scenario where buyers or marketers have to find homes suited with their specifications. Economic and Financial Conditions Economic reasons profoundly influence participation in the real estate business. Investing in commercial real estate requires a substantial amount of finances, thus engaging in loan consultations with financiers is of utmost importance. The uniqueness of the borrower coupled with rules and principles of the financier presents the need for deliberation in brokering the best deal possible. The marketer also faces a responsibility of negotiating for favourable financial assistance advancement to his client on request. Success of buying and selling of homes depend on the securing of the best and competitive lending rates that suit the concerned parties. Banks in which the home buyers entrust the financing responsibilities should be flexible enough to meet any presented financing need. Loan programs should have an adequate range to cover the needs. A real estate financier in the USA has loan programs extending from $500,000 to over $100,000,000 and has reported an increase in clients pleased with its wide bracket of loan services (Capstone, 2010). Home buyers accessing loan and real estate advisory services arranged by the financiers and marketers prove decisive in the real estate industry linked with information about the market (Majumdar, 34). For many home buyers, their hard earned savings play a vital role in acquisition of mortgages. In the United Kingdom, a cooperative venture known as Building Society deals with acquisition of mortgages. It is extremely important that potential home buyers possess savings to aid them in obtaining financial services. Mortgage arrangement can be made in accordance to savings or any other asset subject to financier’s approval. Savings and assets contribute substantially in the endorsement of a mortgage plan by banks or any other real estate financier. Technology, Social and Legal Trends Building technology affects home buyers decisions since consumers’ social trends, and satisfaction are principle considerations in the buying process. Current and trendy construction technology assures the potential buyers of security and guarantees value for money upon purchase. Marketers toil to locate and present updated homes in which modern building technology h
Problems Solving High-quality healthcare services should be accessible to everyone, yet, due to imperfections in the infrastructure of rural areas, people living in the specified environment may have difficulties accessing healthcare. There are other barriers toward healthcare in rural areas, which include the lack of health literacy, qualified staff members, and effective nurse-patient communication (Halter et al., 2016). However, by improving the reciprocity between a patient and a nurse with the help of different types of media, one can address the issues temporarily, at the same time working on long-term goals such as building new facilities in the vicinity of rural households. The problem of service accessibility coupled with alterations in demographic levels within rural communities can be seen as the key barrier to delivering healthcare services to rural residents. As Krout explains, “The combination of a lack of formal services and demographic changes affecting rural communities and families may put rural older adults at risk of social isolation”. The described issue concerns both infrastructure and the lack of qualified staff members in the rural healthcare context. For this reason, reconsidering the quality of patient-nurse communication should be seen as the primary task, whereas long-term goals will include creating more employment options and training opportunities for nursing experts in rural settings. Conclusion The application of innovative media tools to encourage the patient-nurse conversation while new facilities are planned to be constructed and the infrastructure is being updated should be regarded as important options for improving care for rural residents. The described approach will also help to increase the rates of health literacy among the target population, thus preventing the instances of severe health issues. By maintaining communication with the rural population and keeping the community informed about the available options for health management and treatment, a nurse will contribute to managing public health issues successfully.
Nowadays, the issue and main principles of developmental psychology become more and more popular and obtain greater significance. Great number of different theories connected with its main issues can serve as the best evidence of this statement. However, to investigate this issue it is necessary to give clear definition of developmental psychology and its main peculiarities. Developmental psychology is a branch of science which researches and analyses the main peculiarities and stages of the development of a human being (Colman, 2009). However, there are many different points of view on the process of development and what main peculiarities it possesses. According to Cooker-Greuter (2004) human development consists of lateral and vertical development. Both these processes are very important, however, they have different mechanisms. Lateral development happens through learning, schooling and gaining experience throughout all the life of a person (Cooker-Greuter, 2004). At the same time, vertical development is connected with a persons ability to see the world from another perspective. That is why, psychology should investigate both these processes, taking into account their peculiarities. Moreover, different variables such as worldviews, stages of development, level of consciousness, logical actions and organizing principles should also be taken into account as they show how a person can make his/her own decision about some issue or phenomenon and help to understand peculiarities of his/her development better (McCauley, Drath, Palus, O’Connor & Baker, 2006). Application of developmental psychology in life Having understood main peculiarities of the functioning of developmental psychology, it is possible to understand how it can be applied in modern society under new conditions. First of all, is should be said that understanding of the main processes of the development of human qualities and traits of character can give people a great number of possibilities for their improvement. Having realized the main aspects of the formation of a certain skill, it is possible to apply this knowledge in order to obtain the needed skills faster. That is why, developmental psychology can be widely used in such fields as education, training programs and some other spheres, oriented towards obtaining or developing certain skills. Moreover, under modern conditions of complex changing environment, it is viable to apply the knowledge in this field to the spheres of leadership and management. There is no use denying the fact that strong leaders are needed to guaranty further prosperous development of human society. With this in mind, one of the main purposes of developmental psychology is to analyze the main peculiarities of leaders development and guarantee their further personal growth. Their weak and strong sides can be investigated and altered with the help of developmental psychology. There is, of course, a great number of other possible applications of this science in our life. It can be widely used in order to predict human behavior, forecast developmental processes and understand the effects of family, living conditions and envir
In consumer technology, there is a notion that future operations (business or social) depend on what the youth are doing currently. The growth of technology has negatively affected the use of email. Each year, the number of email users decreases significantly. Nevertheless, email is not dead as many people still send and receive messages through it. For example, in opening a Facebook account, one must have an email address. However, with the emancipation of the internet and the development of social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Gamma the number of youth who use email as a mode of communication has reduced. This is because many teenagers consider it old fashioned and instead prefer to send instant messages via social networks. The future of email looks obsolete, as most statistics reveal that over 50 percent of Web-using teenagers enjoy an online chat or instant messaging to friends. Research done by ComScore in 2009 shows that the number of youth reportedly using Yahoo and Gmail was reduced by 8 percent. On the other hand, the number of teenagers using social networking sites increased by 6 percent. Twitter and Facebook are the main beneficiaries, and of now, they are the most popular instant messaging sites rendering email dormant. If the trend continues, ten years from now, an email will be dead for teenagers (Olsen, 2007, p.1). Reference List Olsen, S. (2007). Kids say e-mail is, like, soooo dead. CNET News.com. Web.
Introduction The quest to develop and identify one’s individual identity is very dominant in the manga/ anime characterization. Narrative driven structures that combine visual art forms are used to depict a broad range of phenomena that deals with the search for individual identity (Bryce n.d). Twins can be characterized in manga/anime presentations to try and show the inner struggles they go through in defining their identity, otherness, inner conflict, sexual maturity and the view of human goodness or evil. Twins in manga/anime characters are therefore created to embody the personal, psychological struggles of an individual twin, independent from the other his/her half. Psychological issues that represent twins struggles with the real self against the expected self, the split and fragmented self and the internal conflict between the ego and the super ego. The narratives in manga/anime therefore seek to bring out the anxieties and uncertainty about individual identity among twins. Twins Offsprings developed from the same zygote and produced in the same pregnancy are referred to as twins. The scientific process involved in the development of twins is widely understood by medical experts. However their psychology that deals with how they relate in different aspects of life is quite puzzling. Even twins themselves have not been able to clearly articulate what they go through life in relation with people who are not twins. In the twins’ world, there are fraternal and identical twins. Identical twins share far more features and genetic make up than fraternal twins. As a result they are likely to have a stronger bond and in some cases, their likeness goes beyond physical features to include their intelligent quotients (Perry 2002). Twins make up approximately 2% of the world population, a significant number that makes them an interesting constituency for study. Twins can be looked at from the Manga/anime characters perspective; these are different characters but of the same kind and they form interesting subjects of study in terms of identity. Identity in this case will be explained through the otherness, self acceptance, inner conflict, sexual maturity, and change of or perception of human goodness or evil by the twins. The pattern of twinship that twins share creates some sort of identity struggles that they fi
Introduction Similarly to any other form of art, movies have a goal of portraying life from the various perspectives and introducing new ideas or viewpoints to their viewers. Castaway is a film that displays a man on an abandoned island who continues living and does not lose hope for returning home. In many ways, the plot corresponds with the concepts of stoicism, which is a philosophic approach that emphasizes virtue and acceptance of circumstances. This paper aims to examine Castaway and its connection to stoicism, whether it invites to consider this philosophy, if the creators critique stoicism, and whether there is a connection between modern American life and stoicism. Stoicism Prior to examining the movie Castaway, it is necessary to determine the particular aspects of stoicism that characterize this philosophy. According to Becker, one of the primary stoic doctrines is as follows – “the only thing good in itself is a virtue” (30). Additionally, the author argues that this quality cannot be reviewed by using degrees. Thus, a person either has virtue or does not have one, although stoics do recognize that there is a journey one has to go through to acquire this view of the world (Becker 30). Additionally, the overall thought behind this approach is the acceptance of everything that life presents to a person. The Portrayal of Stoicism in Castaway In most cases, various cinematic works have the purpose of delivering an important message that the screenwriter and director consider necessary. According to Staley, films “project important insights, often unintentional, into the way the world works and the values society cares about” (10). Therefore, one should not merely view movies from the perspective of entertainment, but also review them through the aspect of a society in which a work is created. Thus, the movie Castaway should also be examined from the perspective of modern Am
The reasons for employee benefits Most modern organizations are recognizing the employees’ compensation as one of the significant organization practices. Studies indicate that not only the employees that benefit from such practices but also the organizations (Shields, 2009). Most organizations perceive employees’ compensations as being costly. However, the benefits surpass the costs involved. In essence, proper compensation ensure continuous flow of qualifies staff with required skills and technical competence to keep the organization at the competitive edge. The organizations have to recognize the fact that the qualified staff with required skills and technical competence is the key driver for their growth and development. With current competitive environment, organizations find it necessary to keep such qualified staff within their workforce. In addition, organizations must remain flexible when it comes to the management of employees’ compensations and benefits On the part of employees, increased compensation and benefits ensure augmented productivity due to the satisfaction they receive from such benefits. Well-compensated employees feel protected from social ills that may affect the work processes that in turn may result in decreased performance. In other words, compensation and benefits that takes into consideration needs of workers are critical in the general output of the employees. The application of agency theory in executive compensation In the context of an organization, an agency is an entity that acts on behalf of the principle. The principle, in this context, is the shareholders (Shields, 2009). The principal have the responsibility of compensating the agent that can either be a CEO or any other entity hired by the principal to perform a particular duty. According to the agency theory, the agent must be loyal and obedient to the principle. The agents are compensated based on their loyalty that determines the level of performance. In essence, the organizations must apply the principle-based executive compensation strategies to ensure cordial relations between the agents and the principle. The advantage with principle-based executive compensation is that it irons out the differences that may arise between the principal and the agent. Main forms of performance-related pay option The performance-related pay covers various forms of employees’ compensations that take into consideration the output of individual workers. In other words, workers are compensated according to the individual performance. The performance-based pay is applied in the circumstances where workers can easily show a discrepancy in
