Introduction The review of the article represents an outlook on how to design papers so that to correspond applicable techniques and approaches as of correct depiction of information. Format characteristics are also vital for academic models. To create an outline one should take into account the structure of a definite type within provided outlines. Thus, it is significant to promote the identification of the subject matter. Second, it is proposed to make an analysis. Third, one should discuss findings. Particularly detailed glimpses designate the importance of some general quotations, comments, or definitions. For the main body, it is useful to give proper evidence about the problem along with the historical cut or background within which one can underline accuracy in research. Finally, the conclusion should restate the prevailing standpoint and provide some assumptions as for the probable recommendations. For making advances in the paper it is appropriate to follow a particular structured design, namely: introduction (representation of the problem with the significance of it supported by the background information highlighted with the compelling thesis); Body (an estimation of the main points about the problem; examination in a historical overlook; comparison and analysis of different authoritative opinions); conclusion (pros and cons of the theory being analyzed; recommendations and further implementation of the theory). Instructions for writing papers academically For the artwork there is another way to organize the paper: Introduction (work itself with an executive summary, background information and biographical facts about main actors, characters, or players with citations and thesis statement at the end); body (evaluative analysis with more glimpses at imagery theme psychological or historical portraits of main characters, narration, symbolic implementation, etc.); conclusion (restatement of the artists’ in action with hints on the supposed contributions regarding the thesis). For persuasive writing, it is vital to building up a convenient and rather strong argumentative base in order to support the paper. For this purpose, a writer should admit the following model: introduction (concise evaluation of the problem by only one sentence problem, summary, posing terminology, proper concessions, additional quotations and paraphrases, thesis); body (elaboration of arguments, analysis of problem in terms of its advantages and limitations, representation of facts out of references); conclusion (thesis with more applicable evidence, personal position, reflections). For writing on social problems concerned with politics or history with a complex of sharp data about events, time prospects and outcomes, it is better to confirm the next plan: introduction (event as it is, historical survey, quotations and paraphrases, thesis); body (analysis of the framework about the event, making parall
The human dimension is…   * A deviation from the traditional top-down system.   * A tendency towards organizational improvement from the bottom up. Key idea: building human capital and thus   * Increasing the efficiency of an establishment;   * Through increasing the individuals’ and teams’ capabilities. Chapter 5 of the book “Organizational behavior in education” emphasizes the human element in educational organizations. Traditionally, any organization is viewed as a top-town structure: a leader that gives instruction to the subordinates. The focus on human element is a shift from the traditional perspective. It regards an organization as an entity that can improve from the bottom up. In other words: every employee matters. Organizations as loosely coupled systems A loosely-coupled system is a metaphor for an organization that is:   * not hierarchical;   * consists of closely related elements (subsystems);   * allows these elements to maintain their autonomy. One can think of such an organization as a zipper, where the elements are fitted tightly but autonomous at the same time. The human element is specifically important in the context of schools. The chapter asserts that school works as a loosely-coupled system. It means that a school is not a hierarchy. Quite on the contrary: it consists of many subsystems that are related to each other, but are autonomous at the same time. One can think of such an organization as a zipper: all elements fit tightly into each other, but every element has its autonomy. Organizations as dual systems John Meyer and Brian Rowan:   * Loose coupling over instruction administrative control over instruction (time, assignments, grouping, etc.).   * Tight coupling over non-instruction control over transportation, fees, etc. The chapter draws an example of another study that agrees with this metaphor. However, it indicates that schools cannot function as loose systems only. Instead, they are a combination of tight and loose coupling, which is called a dual system. Such a system includes loose coupling to control the instruction and tight coupling to control other things such as transfer, fees, and so on. Building human capital Education = Investment in human capital “Providing education is one thing, and having quality education is completely different. Unless you have quality education, you are wasting your time and your resources.” (Education in the United Arab Emirates 2012). This is why educational reform in the UAE is focused on human capital development in terms of:   * Better preparation;   * Accountability;   * Raising the standards;   * Proficiency and excell
The development of technology is associated with various opportunities and improvements, but it is also related to various problems. Nursing informatics can be seen as an example of this complex issue in the healthcare context. Sheridan (2012) stresses that healthcare professionals are reluctant to use extensive technology, which is being adopted rather slowly. One of the reasons for that arising legal and ethical concerns. Confidentiality and written consent forms are associated with these legal and ethical issues to be addressed. This paper includes a brief description and analysis of these two examples of concerns related to nursing informatics as well as several evidence-based recommendations alongside with some conclusions. Ethical and Legal Problems Nursing informatics provides healthcare practitioners with numerous effective ways to store, share, and access information, but each of these stages can be associated with confidentiality violations (Huber, 2013). In my working setting, I have witnessed several instances of confidentiality violations. For example, nurses often shared codes without much considerations concerning the status of the person they share this information with. Some data can be accessed by only a specific group of practitioners, which can be violated through the provision of codes to unauthorized people. One of the most striking cases is the way nurses tell stories about patients. Even without giving names (which is considered to be a sufficient way to protect patients’ confidentiality), they still share information that can reveal the person’s identity. Another important issue is related to written consent forms. I have had to provide these forms many times. Patients differently react, but it is clear that the relationship between the healthcare professional and the patient is often disrupted. In many cases, nursing professionals could hardly explain to patients anything about the forms. Analysis Confidentiality is one of the most delicate issues in the healthcare system of any country. In the USA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (1996) is one of the central regulations governing the flow of data (Finkelman & Kenner, 2013). Code §7332 that focuses on the confidentiality of medical records is anot
Katniss Everdeen is the main character and narrator of the novel The Hunger Games. We first meet Katniss as a teenager of 16 years who must support her family after her father’s death. Her mother also suffers from depression. Katniss must also support her younger sister. Katniss and her family live in a poverty-stricken coal-mining District 12. It is the realities Katniss encounters that shape her traits. Katniss is the stalwart of her family. She has to support a depressed mother and her younger sister after the death of her father who died tragically in the coal mine accident. The fact that her mother could not cope with the loss made Katniss to take the role of the head of the household. She must provide for the household, and save her family from starvation. Katniss talks about her roles as follows. “It was slow-going at first, but I was determined to feed us. I stole eggs from nests, caught fish in nets, sometimes managed to shoot a squirrel or rabbit for stew, and gathered the various plants that sprung up beneath my feet. Plants are tricky. Many are edible, but one false mouthful and you’re dead. I checked and double-checked the plants I harvested with my father’s pictures. I kept us alive” (Collins 4.19) Katniss symbolizes the will of a woman to survive despite all odds. She must be innovative and hardworking to do this through foraging and hunting. These are what form the core of her female roles and identity. Katniss also offers support to others outside her family. Katniss also extends her protective instinct to a friend and an ally, Rue from District 11. She tells us that Rue too is a survivor, and that is why she formed an alliance with her. This is crucial among the female characters in this novel. They must survive despite all odds. Katniss’ role of protecting and providing for others extends even to male characters in the novel. Peeta Mellark is a son of a baker who is only good with cake decorations. Peeta lacks hunting and gathering skills we notice in Katniss. Katniss risks her life so that she can deliver medicine that can save Peeta from a near death. We can see Katniss as a female character who others can rely o
Abstract Since modern business management requires efficient information management, healthcare providers require enhancing the management of patient information. Thus the concept of computer charting emerges. This paper identifies Charting by Exception, popularly referred to as CBE, as one of the most useful modern computer charting systems. Implementation of CBE is a complicated process, but can be effective undertaken through a simple project management model. As such, the paper describes CBE project implementation against the 4 D project management model. This model is preferred for its simplicity as well as ability to track project progress. Introduction Modern business management requires efficient management of information. Within the healthcare industry, the management of patient information is vital as it determines the success of healthcare provision. The need to enhance the management of information has led to the development of computer charting a concept that incorporates the use of IT based patient information management tools. Computer charting systems have a broad based primary objective; however, the overarching aim seems to be improving efficiency in documentation of patient information. This is aimed at increasing accuracy in decision making regarding the patient care. As a result, the healthcare industry accrues numerous advantages from computer charting (Keenan, Yakel, Tschannen and Mandeville, n.d.). The ever changing trends in healthcare information management require consistent changes to existing information management tools. While current computer charting systems ensure increased efficiency in patient information management, they are also time consuming since healthcare experts, especially nurses, spend a lot of time keying data in computer charting systems. This reduces the amount of time nurses spend with patients (Harrison, 2003; Huff, 2004). The need for improved computer charting systems in the healthcare industry is necessitated by the desire to reduce the time spent in documentation. This translates to more time available for nurses to provide patient care. Additionally, other than reducing charting errors and omissions, the need to reduce redundancies in management of patient information necessitates systems change. This therefore calls for the transition from the current computer charting to Charting by Exception, CBE (Jaffe, 2011). CBE is an improved version of the traditional computer charting systems already in the market. Compared to other computer charting systems, CBE offers numerous advantages to tertiary healthcare providers. Other than creating a legally recognized patient data base, CBE eliminates the need for narrative
Are you sure that your child uses the Internet connection for educational purposes only? Do you control the sources of information your child chooses? The century of accessible information provides as many possibilities for cultural development as challenges to come across unverified and low-quality data. Parents expect the youth to differentiate between bad and good in real everyday life but do not rely on their ability to switch the channel or open the page with another URL address if something goes wrong. Filtering the sources of information by the adults is like growing the plants in the greenhouse, hiding them from all the dangers of the surrounding world. The issue of parents’ censorship and unexplained prohibitions is only one more symptom of the generation gap in the family and their inability to accept the children as personalities. Though this kind of censorship is not regarded to be a violation of personal freedom, Danz, John suggests speaking to the children and explaining to them that the censored episodes are an integral part of life, but there are issues more interesting and significant, that is why one should switch the channel, making this conscious choice. Several decades earlier the communications were not so developed, the schoolchildren had to visit libraries instead of reading the online materials and had to wait for the letters from their friends for weeks. Accessible sources of information changed people’s views and lifestyles. Why dig the library archives over, if the search for the online artic
The video created by Tobin et al. as part of their research at the intersection of education and cultural studies demonstrates teachers’ ability to fulfill numerous roles when working with children. The facet of teaching that I believe to be the most interesting is the educator’s role as the coordinator who uses his or her creativity and learning materials to encourage collaboration between children in the class. To me, this dimension of teaching is particularly important since children need to become good at collaborating with others to grow up and become active contributors to society. More than that, by acting as coordinators, teachers help children to develop a sense of responsibility and conflict resolution skills. The strategies supporting the discussed facet of teaching include modeling and demonstrating. In the videos, they are used to encourage children in China to engage in block activities and play together as a team. In particular, the teacher demonstrates things to be done to build structures from large soft blocks before the game (Tobin et al.). The next important strategies impacting children’s teamwork skills are speculation and the use of open questions that help students to make conclusions about unity and the norms of behavior. For instance, they are used by teachers in China and the United States when they engage in conversations with their students related to how they should eat and move to avoid distracting or affecting other children in the room (Tobin et al.). The next educational approach presented in the film is engaging children in shared thinking. With the help of the Buddy Bear activity, the American teacher makes children exchange their experiences and creates traditions that increase cohesion in the class.

Introduction In the modern world, terrorism has become a global threat regardless of the different nation’s economic, social and religious settings. Some of the dangerous terrorist organizations in the 21 st Century include ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), Al-Queda, Boko Haram, The Taliban and Al-Nusra Front. These organizations are actively involved in terror activities across the globe using different kinds of weapons with an objective of achieving certain motives (Dimovski, Ilijevski, Babanoski, & Rusumanov, 2016). This report focuses on the ISIS terrorist group, discussing its motives, weapons, and capabilities, where it is located and United States tracks it, its crimes as well as the countermeasures that can counter and combat this group. Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) Terrorist Organization The terrorist group ISIS was founded by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2014 as a splinter group of al-Qaeda. It is also known as the Islamic State and Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) or Islamic State (IS). The group controls Northern regions of Iraq and Western regions of Syria where it has established its government that employs brutality and the Sharia Law in its rule. The group’s fighters come from all parts of the world and they are encouraged to join the group for them to enjoy heaven on earth. IS’s objective is it to come up with an Islamic state referred to as a caliphate across Syria, Iraq and other parts of the Muslim world. It also intends to declare military, political and religious authority over these regions. IS has an apocalyptic vision that makes them hold the belief that they will usher in paradise by capturing specific physical territories in the area (Gatehouse, Khan, & Friscolanti 2015). Weapons and Capabilities of ISIS Gatehouse et al., (2015) provide that ISIS have both light and heavy weapons. The light arms include different kinds of rockets, anti-tank missiles and launchers, mortars and anti-craft weapons. Some of the heavy arms and advanced technology at the disposal of ISIS include dozens of Soviet-manufactured tanks, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, planes and self-propelled artillery. In 2014, ISIS was also reported to have used chemical weapons in Ayn al-Arab (Kobanî) attacks as indicated by s
Illegal immigrants are those people who enter a country without proper documents. According to Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), any one who enters the U.S. by violating the immigration laws is referred to as an illegal alien. The term is considered to be legally accepted and correct (FAIR 1). Studies by FAIR have estimated that in the year 2007 the population of illegal aliens was more than 13 million people. Other estimates have been given by the government and academic institutions the number of illegal immigrants staying in the United States was between 11 million and 12 million. In 2004, the Center for Immigration Studies established the number of illegal immigrants to be 10 million people (FAIR 1). FAIR (1) observed that even though the illegal immigrants would work and so get to contribute to the American economy through taxation, studies point out that if the jobs done by these illegal aliens were done by Americans, much more revenue would be collected by the government. The immigration costs are paid mostly by the federal government although the states and the municipalities also contribute. There is a burden of $28.795 billion per year to the federal government (FAIR 1). Relationship between Crime and the Number of Illegal Immigrants Fox News (1) has argued that it is very difficult to actually determine how an increase in the number of illegal immigrants gets to affect the rate of crime in the United States. However, statistics have shown that Arizona as well as California and Texas are made to deal with the problem of increased crime that has resulted from the increased number of illegal immigrants (Fox News 1). Research has shown that in Arizona, illegal immigrants have been known to collaborate with organizations that control smuggling activities to undertake criminal activities (1). According to FAIR (1), illegal immigration is responsible for the increased insecurity at the borders. Orrenius and Coronado (3) argue that the link between the number of illegal immigrants and criminal activities is very difficult to pin point. They, however, have given reasons to explain why a relationship between a high population of illegal immigrants and crime at the Border States might be possible (Orrenius & Coronado 3). The first reason has to do with the assumption that illegal immigrants get involved in crime more than the Americans themselves. Secondly, illegal immigrants are easy prey and the most likely target for attackers given that they would anything to hide from the authorities. Thirdly, illegal immigrants will make use of the services offered by smugglers who eventually commit even more crime. Orrenius and Coronado, however, argue that it is quite difficult to actually prove that immigrants, whether legal or illegal are responsible for a greater numbe
Speed limits are a common road safety measure in many contemporary countries. In addition to their primary function, these restrictions can also help optimize road traffic and reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries in accidents. However, on two-lane roads, the effect can be reversed, while ecologically, speed limits can also have a negative impact. Thus, speed limits are a controversial option that is appropriate only for certain types of roads. Speed limits have several benefits for both drivers and infrastructure. First of all, the limitations help to optimize the flow of cars, which is especially important on roads with high traffic. In particular, lower speed limits allow for a more even distribution of cars between lanes, although they do not significantly affect the activity of changing lanes (Soriguera et al., 2017). This means that the capacity of roads under restrictions can increase significantly, especially under high traffic conditions. Additionally, speed limits significantly reduce the number of deaths on rural roads by reducing the number of dangerous situations (Vadeby & Forsman, 2017). In urban areas, there is also a decrease in the number of serious injuries in road traffic crashes (Vadeby & Forsman, 2017). These circumstances highlight that restrictions allow drivers to better react to and respond to changes on the road. However, in some conditions, speed limits can pose additional safety risks. For example, if the rules are not followed on two-lane roads, drivers may overtake slower vehicles, creating a dangerous situation. Additionally, on two-lane roads, there may be increased congestion due to significant speed limits. The most significant argument against the restrictions is the potential increase in vehicle emissions at lower speeds (Psaraftis, 2019). In terms of global road traffic, this problem can be crucial compared to other traffic optimization and road safety options. Thus, speed limits have different implications for various types of roads, making them impractical for widespread use. On the one hand, they have a positive effect on road safety and traffic congestion with more lanes. On the other hand, on narrower roads, conversely, restrictions can be dangerous. Moreover, the environmental effects of this measure remain rather controversial. Therefore, this option should only be used where appropriate and tested before implementation.
