Reaction The film FLOW (Salina, 2008) highlights numerous issues with freshwater, some of which are not well known by the public. Because of this, I have a hard time describing the complex set of emotions caused by it in one word. I believe the most appropriate word would be “frightening.” There are two reasons for this. First, the issue in question is in direct relation to the welfare of the entire planet’s population, and the film makes a convincing case that there are reasons to worry. Second, the scope of the problem as presented in the documentary is such that there seems to be little chance to change things for the better. In the end, I believe that the film needs to be frightening to prompt the response of the audience. Several solutions come to mind as ways to address the problems presented in the film. However, I admit that most of them are in the domain of speculation. For instance, I expect that as a result of technological progress, new ways of water conservation and reuse will be invented, which would alleviate the problem. However, such an approach is more wishful thinking than a feasible solution. Therefore, I would suggest education and awareness as two ways of addressing the problem. Aside from benefits for the general public, such an approach would improve the adoption of various policies, as I think that currently at least some poor decisions of policymakers are caused by insufficient understanding of the issue and could be prevented by educational effort. The film is especially important for the American audience since there is little recognition of the issue in the U.S. I think this is likely because of the FDA regulations and the general level of welfare in the country. When someone has virtually unlimited access to high-quality drinking water, it becomes difficult to comprehend the problems of the people from less developed countries. In effect, the abundance of water in the U.S. creates a false impression that the issue is non-existent. The privatization of water is among the concerns raised in the film (Salina, 2008). While it poses a serious threat to the well-being of the population, especially in developing countries, I don’t think that is necessarily illegitimate. I can think of several advantages offered by the practice. If entities that own water supplies are well-meaning and responsible, they can improve both the quality of water and access to it for the general public. Admittedly, ownership opens up the possibility of abuse, but is not its immediate outcome, so ownership does not necessarily result in mistreatment. Numerous initiatives and organizations were created to address the issue. Admittedly, it is difficult to evaluate their success due to the diversity of their goals. Therefore, it would be reasonable to consider their visibility and success in finding support a
Introduction Born of 21-year-old Amalia Nathanson Freud, Sigmund Freud was the firstborn child to his mother, but not to his father. On the 6 th day of May, 1856, he arrived into a world that was full of so many complexities, but which would later define his life and this would be great psychiatrist was greeted by the normal hullabaloo that met other infants in the town of Freiberg (Freud, 1900). For most of his infant life, Freud knew more of his mother and Nanny- the old woman who stayed with them- than he knew of his father, since his mother was a second wife. To the young and innocent eyes of the three-year-old Sigmund, there was no way Amalia, his mother, with all the striking beauty and radiance of youthfulness, would be a wife to the forty-four, old-looking Jacob Freud. If anything, Jacob was the best match for Nanny than he was for Amalia. Another thing that kept gnawing at the young mind of Sigmund and that was the social setting in which nature had put him. Emmanuel, the father of John, was too big to be his brother yet he was and John, that playmate who was only a year older, was his nephew (Freud, 1929). Body This, as later noted by Sigmund himself, provided a basis for a critical analysis of many aspects of life. This frequent wonderment about why things were the way they were and why some incidences happened the way they did, which was manifested in most of his life, was greatly influenced by his childhood life in the small town of Freiberg. The normal social happenings like the birth of his sister, Anna, and the “disappearance” of Nanny provoked his young mind into thinking so much about the whole aspect of life (Freud, 1977). For instance, at the young age of two and a half, he wondered where the little Anna had come from. Further, with the disappearance of Nanny, the young mind of Sigmund was put in a more complicated situation and became like a caged bird that needed an escape. Thus, was created a setting for the analysis of issues and much probing into situations. Most of his writings drew deep from his childhood experiences. Dreams and fantasies, which were a mental probing and wishes about the physical world in which he lived (Freud
Introduction This paper responds to questions concerning the case study provided. It involves a 47 years old man who visited a clinic with gradual onset of dyspnea on exertion and fatigue. In addition, the patient complained of constant dyspepsia with nausea and occasional epigastric pain. The paper begins by illustrating questions which are pertinent to exploring the patient’s disease symptoms and past medical history. Moreover, it discusses the diagnostic tests carried out and shows pertinent positive and negative findings in the physical examination. This is followed by an interpretation of the findings of the diagnostic tests which in turn gives a green light to discuss the disease process related to the hemolytic system. Finally, all appropriate NANDA nursing diagnoses for anemic patients are provided. Important questions to help explore patient’s disease symptoms The first step in treating the patient’s condition may involve understanding his family history, history of drug use and amount of alcohol consumed per day (Springhouse, 2006). In addition, the patient should be grilled on any pre-existing mental disorder, metabolic conditions, cardiac problems and medication regimen as well as his sleep patterns. More so, it is wise to ask the patient if he ever suffered any head injury in the past and have him describe his smoking habits. Furthermore, he should be asked to explain the condition he is complaining of (dyspepsia) in relation to meals and the effects of remedies taken. Finally, the practitioner may inquire if the patient is undergoing any stress. Important questions to help explore the patient’s medical history The case presented may warrant a medical practitioner to ask about the patient’s critical diseases history and major hospitalizations. The caregiver should inquire about past hematologic setbacks, past surgeries and liver problems as well as breeding abnormalities (Collins, 2003). In addition, many want to know the patient’s family history, recent medications and bleeding duration. Furthermore, it is recommended to ask if the bleeding is associated with shock and whether the patient bruises easily. Moreover, caregivers should ask about any case of petechie and renal or splenic disease. Finally, a medical officer may want to know whether the patient is allergic. This is done by considering past treatment using drugs like chloramphenicol which are known to cause allergy (Springhouse, 2006). Then, both physical and diagnostic procedures may be taken. Abnormal and normal findings in the physical examination Physical tests carried out on the patient revealed several abnormal conditions. General physical examination indicated that the patient had a thin pale coloration and he appeared older than the stated age even though he suffered no stress. Furthermore, the patient’s sclera was pale although it lacked icterus and his mouth’s corner had signs of cheilosis. In addition, his nails were brittle and thin in appearance. Finally, abdominal and rectal tests showed the presence of moderate epigastric tenderness and guaiac positive stool. These are the physical manifestation of anemia (Coya & Lash, 2009). Nev
Martha Stewart is a lifestyle maniac, media personality, author and notable American business mogul. Martha was born in 1941 and at age 13, she worked as a model and appeared in several fashion shows and visual advertisements. In 1962, she graduated from Bernard College with a degree in European and architectural history. While studying at Bernard College, she had met Andrew Stewart and they married in 1961. In 1967, Stewart was hired as stockbroker for a boutique firm at Wall Street until 1973 when the family moved to Connecticut. After the family had renovated an old farmhouse they had bought in their new residence, Martha Stewart focused her attention onto cooking, an art she had learned from her mother and from various cookbooks. The couple took up the renovation themselves and this was the earliest indication of Stewart’s elegance at restoring and restoring things. In 1976, she established a catering business with a friend. The business was very successful, but dipped when the two owners clashed. Stewart bought her part of the venture and continued to develop it, registering the business under the name Martha Stewart, Inc. Ten years after it was established, Martha Stewart, Inc. had grown to unimaginable proportions with a total asset of $1 million and serving a number of companies and celebrities. She also entered the publishing business when she wrote her first book, Entertaining. The book phenomenal success and she capitalized on this with other publications such as Martha Stewart’s Quick Cook Menus, Martha Stewart’s Hors d’Oeuvres, Martha Stewart’s Christmas, and Martha Stewart’s Wedding Planner. The success affected Stewart’s life and her marriage ended in divorce in 1990 (Biography.com, 2011). In 1991, Stewart’s business changed names and became Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc., this coincided with the release of her magazine, Martha Stewart Living, published by Time Publishing Ventures. The magazine’s circulation peaked in 2002 with more than 2 million copies per issue. Stewart’s lifestyle business soon expanded to two magazines, a checkout-size recipe publication, a television show, newspaper column, book sequels, radio show, and close a quarter million dollars in annual revenue. On October 1999, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc., was listed at the New York Stock Exchange and at the of the first day, the 72 million shares had almost doubled their initial prices. Stewart has a 95 percent stake in her business that is worth $1.2 billion. In July 2004, Stewart was imprisoned for five months and fined $30,000 after she was accused of
Introduction Today’s business environment is changing fast. People in any organization are not understood now as overhead cost which should be cut down, rather they are being understood as profitable investment with the proviso that they are pleased by approachable and bring into line HR practices. The contemporary theory of business management gives priority to the management of people and talks about challenging issues related to it in this competitive environment ( People are Strategic…What about HRM, 2012). The Concept of HRM Human Resource Management is based on the philosophy of people management which believes that workforce is exclusively important for the growth of any organization. An organization achieves benefits by using its people effectively, portraying their expertise and being resourcefulness to meet objectives. The aim of the HRM is to recruit skillful, flexible and committed people. It focuses on recognizing their efforts and rewarding them on that basis and emphasizes on developing key competencies. The HRM model highlights:   * The requirement of searching innovative ideas of working   * The main role of managers in stimulating change   * Handling workers as individuals instead of treating them as a pan of collective work force   * Encouraging the workers to accept their management as their ‘Priers’ instead of understanding them as their opponents ( Human Resources Management Systems , n.d.). Since the achievement of the goals fixed by the organization depends on its employees and employees are selected through a big screening process conducted by the HR, the role of HR seems to be very important in the organization. The HR agenda sets by him should meet with the objectives of the company. For the growth and development of any organization the strategies planned by its HR should be every effective (Noe et al, 2010). At the present, the role of HR Manager is not limited to only above mentioned responsibilities. He is responsible to suggest any employee for the company for the promotion as well. Promotion, which is an important part of any person’s career, is another name of increased responsibilities and many people look forward to their promotions in their whole professional life since it not only increases responsibility but also increases pay and other different facilities. People find total job satisfaction when they are promoted to next level. It is not necessary that promotion process is always a positive experience by the employee or the employer. Employers offer the chance to the people to reward their exceptional performances by promoting them. They look for the loyal candidates to fill such open positions through promotions. But this is a challenging job. Secrecy, unfairness or randomness can weaken the whole process, which may affect its efficiency. Many decisions are involved in any organization to do the promotion process (Dessler & Varkkey, 2012). Hypothesis Now the management dilemma is this whether the promotion should be based on seniority or competencies. Or it should be the c
“ I am the resurrection and the life: they who believe in me, though they die, yet shall they live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die.” (John 11:25-26) Jesus Christ, who is the son of God and the Holy Trinity’s Second Person. He is the true God. Jesus is a historical and biblical figure identified by a lot of Christian tradition forms. He was the Christ and it was proved by His resurrection, His rising from the world of the dead. Jesus’s message, death, and resurrection have been studied by many world religions which supported different ideas and concepts as to His origin and nature. It is important to take a close look at the main aspects of these three Jesus aspects in order to understand the deep meaning of the Jesus concepts provided by world religions. The message of Jesus Christ has been interpreted many times and had a different meaning. People tried to reduce the message and made it as simple as it can be. Nevertheless, the core concept of His proclamation was love. His religion was aimed at providing people with justice rather than salvation. (Chadwell, 2005) Jesus strived to proclaim the Kingdom of God. This proclamation was based on the promotion of his beliefs among all people in order to make them frank, just and full of love to each other. According to the New Testament, Jesus’ death was considered to be an atonement act identified as a sacrifice. The death of Jesus was interpreted as a sacrifice being focused on the historical traditions of the Hebrew Bible. Through the concept of revelation, the death of Jesus was the freedom from suffering which is usually experienced by every dying person. The meaning of His death was the combination of morality and sacrifice; it meant the forgiveness of the greatest sins of the person. Nevertheless, His death was not natural but punishing. The legend of Jesus’s death may contain many interpretations through different religious concepts. In case Jesus had not risen from the world of the dead His death would have been regarded as a defeat for the world. His resurrection identified Him as a true man and the revelation of God at the same time. He rose to say that God is the winner of all the enemies and only his religion and beliefs can help people to overcome evil. (Marthaler, the Creed) Jesus was considered to be a human but he was God at the same time. He was completely innocent and never sinned. He was devoid of blemish and his main purpose of the message was to promote justice in the world. Jesus’ innocence resulted in His sufferings which were so terrible that could cover all the sins of humanity. It should be noted that His de
Kind of Listener at the Concert I was an active listener at the Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery promo. The musical context and narration needed a listener to know the melody sequence alongside the background narration about the orphan girl that existed in the early 1700s. An active listener is contented with how a concert is presented for the experience to be worthwhile. It also enabled me to get the verbal content and the nonverbal subtexts. The only thing I did was to nod my head and indicate the sequential narration’s full understanding. This way, I made the performers regard my involvement as a mutual link between their mode of performance and my perception. Pieces Performed (3 pieces) Overture An overture is used to introduce a musical work that is often dramatic. It uses various instruments, and it was used in the Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery promo. As an early opera, the instrumentations such as the violin and the trumpet open the narration, then it juxtaposes the opening sentiments about the storyline. It creates an ambient atmosphere for the audience to note the sentiments of Vivaldi’s narration. Middle Eight The concert had sections that lasted between 8 and 13 bars. The choruses of the musical semantics are placed when the narrators start a new stanza in their adventurous stories. In starting a storyline, it involved instrumental solos and vocal parts with rising intonations. The musical phonetics connected the chorus to the adventurous verses, signifying a turning point for the narration. It excited the audience to get the next topic and outlook change with a musical context in the background. Leitmotif This is a recurring theme in a musical context, and it was used in Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery promo. It reinforces a dramatic action to give the audience a psychological insight. Leitmotif forms a repetitive musical sense that transforms the cohesion of the narration. It also creates distinct dramatic functions that operate separately as an illusion and transformation. The allusive motto of the concert is to flashback the audience to the seventeenth century. Style of Each Piece Narration- the concert narrates the mystery of Vivaldi during the seventeenth century. The narration incorporates both the rising and falling intonation to stress the flow of the story. Background music-the background music has ph
The presented paper is devoted to the concept of Innovation Maturity Models. It includes the general overview of the phenomenon, its definition, purpose, and types; apart from that, the examples of different kinds of IMM are presented as well. Four of them are analyzed and compared, and it is concluded that neither of them is perfect, and most of them are meant for different purposes. Still, the systemic innovation maturity framework (SIMF) as described by Wilkins and Holtham is chosen as the most theoretically advanced one. The presented models are primarily basic, which makes the paper more generalizable. IMM: Definition, Purpose, Types, and Examples The definition of IMM depends on the definition of innovation. For example, an IMM, which is presented in the work of Leminen and Westerlund, includes the stages of exploration, expansion, exploitation, and restraint (7). Lee, Olson and Trim propose a similar model with the final stage termed “declining” (826). However, it is obvious that the IMMs presented by these authors describe a single innovation, an innovative product rather than innovation as a process. Such models are of importance, and they can be integrated to define the lifecycle of a particular product, but in terms of the organization as a whole, the innovation should most certainly be regarded as a process. This process was defined, for example, by Drucker who had referred to it as to a tool of entrepreneurship aimed at continuous and uninterrupted searching for the opportunity to change (19). Apart from that, the definition depends on the term “maturity model” (MM). An MM is a tool “designed to assess progress toward maturity” and “provide a systematic means to perform benchmarking and are considered to add value to organizations trying to achieve continuous improvement” (Pasian 187). Therefore, an IMM is a maturity assessing, benchmarking, and value-adding tool meant for the innovation processes. The specific aims of MM can vary, and there are different types of MM. For example, depending on the purpose and complexity, MM can be divided into basic, descriptive, and perspective ones, with the latter providing the greatest amount of details (Röglinger, Pöppelbuß, and Becker 332). The first type can be used for preliminary assessment; the second provides a deeper understanding of the situation; the third one is a strategic tool rather than an assessing one. However, it should be pointed out that the two-second types of MM are not generalizable, they are meant for particular circumstances. For example, Enkel, Bell, and Hogenkamp use the direction of the famous Capability Maturity Model (CMM), which will be described below, to create an MM for Open Innovation (OI), a part of innovative activities that involve “the use of external resources in R&D” (1162). In the process of their work, the authors introduce three key process areas of OI that can indicate its maturity, including climate for innovation, partnership capacity, and internal processes, and each of these groups incorporates the minimum of six sub-elements (Enkel, Bell, and Hogenk
