The overall well being of a child is a direct consequence of three important factors. These are the child’s health, nutrition and safety. These factors according to (Marotz R. L, 2010) are closely intertwined and dependent on one another. For instance, if a child is fed with a nutritious diet, this will have an overall impact on his/her health. The child develops positive health due to adequate nourishment and at the same time is prevented from experiencing unnecessary injuries. An adequate and nutritious diet results to optimum blood sugars which improves alertness which in turn promotes quick reactions thus avoiding accidents. Health is not only an individual’s physical well being but broadly it can be termed as a state of complete physical, emotional, social, economic, cultural and spiritual well being. Health can also be categorized into various categories such as physical health, oral health, mental health etc. Specifically, this paper is going to restrict itself to the latter. A child’s mental health is normally influenced by a combination of factors. Below is a mention of these factors and their subsequent impacts on a child’s mental health. Self esteem. This is a child’s feelings of self worth in relation to other people. Children with a high sense of self worth are less likely to exhibit negative mental health. Self esteem is developed by parents and teachers alike when they foster an atmosphere of encouragement and understanding for children. However when this is not done, the child is often down on morale and may experience negative mental health. Stress. Protracted or extreme stress in children contribute to negative mental health. Stressful situations, such as abusive treatment, poverty, unrealistic adult demands, chronic illnesses, unsafe neighborhoods, natural disasters etc can have serious impact on children’s emotional state (Fairbank & Fairbank, 2009).

ClubIT Computer Company has been in operation for the last nine years. Robert Fraser established the company in 2001. The company offers information and technology solutions to small and medium scale business. The company classifies its services and products into five categories: managing IT services, installation of hardware and software, web design or developing of in-house programs and finally it offers data recovery services (ClubIT corporate website, 2010). This paper evaluates strategic management styles in the company and gives recommendations on how to improve the services offered. Problem of ClubIT The company has highly experienced management team, who are not only trained in information technology but have basic management skills. However, the company is faced with the following problems:   * The company’s target market is small-scale businesses of between 2-200 employees; the company does not have a plan of advancing their technologies to cater for increased need of their target market as they develop to large-scale companies.   * Being a private owned company, the company lacks a strong succession plan   * The company lacks knowledge management strategy. Information and technology is changing drastically, maintaining employees are important in the sector but ClubIT does not have such a plan. ClubIT Resources, customers and supply chain The company main resources are in the experience and innovativeness of its employees. The company employs highly trained and talented IT experts who offer solutions to their target customer needs. When developing software, the company benefits from the experience of Robert Fraser, who has over 28 years of experiences. It also taps intellectual assets in their young and energetic employees. To ensure that the company has quality hardware both for internal use and to supply to customers, the company has established strategic partnership with world major suppli
On the surface, “Melchizedek’s Three Rings” by Carole McDonnell and “Behind the Official Story” by James C. Scott seem to be absolutely different. However, a more detailed analysis of these articles shows that they have much in common. They both discuss different aspects of power and social subordination as having relation to power. In addition, they both mention the minority groups and social difficulties they face. “Melchizedek’s Three Rings” and “Behind the Official Story” express similar points of view regarding the correlation between power and fear, pay attention to the issue of the public transcript, and express the subject of minority groups (African-Americans) and their isolation from the White community. To begin with, one of the themes both the authors bring up is the correlation between power and fear. Those who possess certain power are afraid to express it because society can react inadequately to this expression. Thus, for instance, McDonnell in “Melchizedek’s Three Rings” gives several examples of people who tried to conceal the truth and their power correspondingly in order to save themselves from misunderstanding. One of such people was Melchizedek who was asked by Saladin which of three main religions, Judaism, Christianity, or Islam was the only authentic one (McDonnell, 2006, p. 189). Melchizedek was in a dangerous situation, because, on the one hand, he knew that Jews and Christians peacefully coexisted in Saladin’s kingdom and, on the other hand, he could not “deny his own religion [or] praise another.” (McDonnell, 2006, p. 189) Melchizedek evaded a direct answer to the question and his “using discretion to avoid a trap” (McDonnell, 2006, p. 190) saved him his life. Another example is the film Village , the characters of which possessed the ability “to choose words wisely” (McDonnell, 2006, p. 192) and were powerful due to their discretion. Scott, in his turn, mentions George Elliot when expressing his ideas on the same subject. Elliot claimed that “no action [is] possible without little acting,” (Scott, 1992, p. 522) which means that the power may be exercised through pretending and only when a person does not directly show his/her powers, he/she can easily subdue the others. Scott also tells a story about a French tenant farmer, Old Tiennon, who has always concealed his intelligence: “I had endeavored so to conduct myself as not to become obnoxious to the white inhabitants, knowing as I did their power, and their hostility to the colored people.” (Scott, 1992, p. 522) Therefore, people may be afraid to show their power and their superiority over others and this is why they try to conceal them. Another theme raised in both the articles under consideration is the public transcript. Scott pays more attention to this theme,
Commentary Studies show that fathers have great influences on their daughter’s lives, given the fact that they shape their sense of worth and self-belief. The way a father approaches life serves as an example to the daughter, meaning that the presence of the father figure in the family determines the way a girl will relate and interact with others in mature commitments. Based on this, has to adopt the principles of sincerity and integrity. This means that the father should keep away from insincerity and disclose his weaknesses, as this would symbolize a sensible and affirmative example as far as approaching life is concerned. In their article, Byrd-Craven, Auer, Granger, and Massey conducted a study to determine the influence of the father on the daughter’s relationships and stress response. The focus of their study was to establish whether the quality of relationships between fathers and daughters are related in any way with the activities of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the salivary cortisol, and the autonomic nervous system, especially when girls approach the adolescence stage. In the first study, the researchers found out that the relationship of daughters was likely to be chaotic in case their associations with fathers were characterized by negative responses, pandemonium, and compulsion. Similarly, girls had lower morning cortisol levels apart from being temperamentally more perceptive to emotional changes. In the next study, the results proved that daughters who experienced affection, independence, support, and cordial relationships were likely to resolve their problems in public more easily. However, the researchers clarified that the nervous system had no role to play in determining the relationship between the daughter and the father. Discussion The study employed a robust method that had both a control group and the study group whereby one person was excluded from taking nicotine and food. The questionnaire was used in collecting the views of women, and the sample used was representative of the study population in the sense that it included women of all ages. The examination of the sample for outliers validated the method and the findings of the study. Additionally, the study used the recommended sample of over eighty participants with a mean age of 19.9. The use of six-dimensional paren
Belief about school-parent communication Effective school-home communication is essential and assists parents and teachers to do what is best for children with disabilities. The institution has various methods of communicating with parents, but it chooses to use methods that best suit parental and its needs. Generally, the school has a Web site for general information about enrolment and other specific areas. The teacher noted, “the institution rarely uses phone calls, except in cases of emergencies”. In addition, it uses e-mails selectively because of the digital divide and low response rate among parents. The teacher noted that the institution provides “notices and newsletters for regular communication through students to their parents”. Newsletters are effective for general activities at school and show how parents can participate in them. The institution also encourages parents to check their children’s schoolbags for weekly notes because some children may give such notes several days after when they are no longer relevant (National Council for Special Education, 2011). The school also uses children’s daily report book, which has a note section. Teachers can write their comments about the child’s progress and challenges. Children must provide daily reports to their parents on a daily basis. Once parents have reviewed the teacher’s comment, they must also acknowledge and provide comments if necessary. The teacher notes, “the Children’s daily report is effective means of communication between the class teacher and the parent because both parties must comment on a daily basis about the learner”. The school also has patent-teacher meetings at the end of every school term. The school encourages parents to attend these meetings in order to keep in touch with learning achievements of their children. Children also learn that their parents care about their education through these meetings. Parents learn about academic and social progress of their children, assess learning environments, know teachers, and review plans for the child education. However, there is no resource centre for the school, which is available at the community. The institution also has a pupil report for the child’s academic progress. The report is mandatory at the end of every academic term. It also has the school principal’s comments and proposed ways of improving learning. Overall, these are effective communication strategies between the school and parents, but the teacher believes that the daily report from school to parent works well, while e-mails are not effective. Teacher communication ideas in classroom Based on outcomes of this interview, a good classroom should improve on class-parent communication. The classroom shall encourage the use of a weekly folder, which parents would receive through their children every Friday. This would enhance
RAC Inc. considers South Korea to be the most suitable for international expansion due to the previous examination of technology in the country. Brief analysis of South Korea potential is necessary to define what subsequent preparation stages and measures should be taken to proceed with the international expansion. Statement of Problem The success of establishing strong market segment in the United States has become the major reason for expanding it to other regions. In order to define whether South Korea is the most suitable variant for expansion in terms of technological capabilities, specific emphasis should placed on evaluating the country as a possible alternative for producing slate tablets. Background of Problem In order to define the success of the proposed venture, attention should be given to the research and analysis of scientific and technological development in South Korea. In particular, the country has received a competitive advantage due to low-cost labor, as well as increased access to technical skills that are necessary for advancing technological equipment ( Technological Landscape 60). Moreover, the government has created a great number of scientific institutions and has developed indigenous technology. In addition, the South Korean authorizes have reformed the tax system to promote research and development in the country ( Technological Landscape 60; Manyin 1). Strong governmental influence is also revealed through adopting new mechanism of technology advancement and innovation. In particular, Kim and Jung assert, “the national government started technopark project to generate regional self-sustaining growth in 1997” (273). In fact, the technological growth and economic sustainability of South Korea is largely supported by further governmental investments. Telecoms and Technology Report also focuses on the fact that “South Korea has one of the world’s highest broadband penetration rates, with optical-fibre connections accounting for almost all household connections” (3). Such a perspective contributes greatly to the analysis of technological potential of South Korea. The evidence of strong econ
Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) influences marketing mechanisms and procedures by providing insight into consumer behavior and preferences. AI is a system’s capacity to analyze data correctly, learn from the analysis, and use it to achieve specific goals. This technology uses machine-learning algorithms to customize content and products to satisfy target markets and influences consumer choices by offering suggestions based on social perceptions (Haenlein & Kaplan, 2019). This technological tool can help organizations maximize their competitive advantage and market dominance. Nevertheless, the involvement of AI comes along with doubt and disbelief due to different biases. Therefore, organizations must isolate and neutralize biases to realize the benefits of AI in inducing consumer preference. History of Artificial Intelligence Experts have exerted themselves constantly to improve technology throughout the years. The inception of AI occurred in the 1940s when Isaac Asimov, an American Science Fiction writer, developed three laws of robotics through his short story ‘Runaround’ (Haenlein & Kaplan, 2019). The first law prevents a robot from harming a human being or allowing them to experience harm. Secondly, a robot must comply with every order except when they contradict the first law. Lastly, a robot must ensure its survival without jeopardizing the first and second laws (Haenlein & Kaplan, 2019). Asimov’s story inspired many scientists to venture into the field of AI, computer science, and robotics. At approximately the same period, Alan Turing, an English mathematician, explored the mathematical possibility of AI. Turing argued that if humans make decisions and tackle problems using available information and reason, machines could do the same thing (Anyoha, 2017). As a result, Turing developed ‘The Bombe,’ a code-breaking machine, to decipher the Enigma code that the Germans used during World War II. The success of this development incited Turing to publish the article ‘Computing Machinery and Intelligence’ that explained how to create and test intelligent machines (Haenlein & Kaplan, 2019). This article suggests that a machine qualifies as intelligent when a human cannot distinguish it from another human. Turing’s test currently serves as a benchmark to identify an artificial system’s intelligence. Despite Turing’s strong desire to explore the field of AI, he faced significant challenges that slowed down his pursuit of advanced technology. Turing had to prove his AI concept and seek support from high-profile people to convince funding sources to invest in machine intelligence. Fortunately, advancements in technology over the years facilitated the improvement of AI as computers became more efficient, more accessible, and cheaper (Anyoha, 2017). The knowledge about machine learning algorithms also increased, and people understood better which algorithms to apply to specific problems. Although algorithms may not improve much, the increased availabi
The Beatles’ 1968 self-titled album, the ‘White Album,’ has received a variant of reviews from members of the new left movement. These responses and criticism are based on the lyrics, stylistic devices in the music, and the album’s place in John Lennon’s development as an avant-garde artist. The author in this chapter faults the various criticisms leveled against the album. The author terms the criticism as one-sided and states that it limits itself to only isolated aspects; for example, criticism that concentrates on the music aspect of the album pays little attention to the historical context of the album. Likewise, criticism relying on the political relevance of the lyrics is ignorant of the significance of the various music styles employed on the songs. Therefore, the chapter is a critique of the various criticisms leveled against the Beatles as a group and the ‘White album.’ One of the major critics of the ‘White Album’ is the New Left, which is a political movement. The leftists’ criticism of the ‘White Album,’ according to the author, is majorly inclined on the stylistic devices used in the various songs. The group accuses the Beatles of using eclectic styles on the record as a means of escaping the direct address of the political concerns at the time. However, the author compares this argument to the Marxists’ pastiche, which is a means of eluding the real history by taking a neutral stand. The author holds that such an argument underscores the assumption that there is only one way of being political, thus failing to consider the context and the historical circumstances that give the use of any parody its particular significance. According to the author, the album in this context illustrates how the use of parody and eclecticism can be used to make political commentary. The author further argues that the use of parody in the album was the Beatles’ way of responding to the then important cultural tensions that included the commodification of the rock music by the corporates. The ‘White Album’ was released in 1968 when the political arena was going through an uprising. Therefore, the White Album’s critics expected the album to address the political issues, but it failed to do so, and the critics attacked it for its alleged frivolous style and silence on the ongoing political issues. According to the critics, the Beatles’ response to the 1968 murders and protests was evasive and worn out. This assertion owed to the song titled, “All You Need Is Love,” which the critics presumed was the B
The American Journal of Infection Control covers issues on infection control and, therefore, is used by health professions as a reference on clinical tops. It provides a platform to write and review infection control and epidemiology related articles (AJIC, n.d.). Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) being an infection upsurge that has been of health concern, becomes a topic of interest and, therefore, the site will provide an opportunity to present my project which will be available in one of its journals (AJIC, n.d.). The article will highlight on how to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infection rates with a focus on evidence-based practice. The hand-washing techniques will provide more knowledge to the health care providers on urinary catheter care, result in a change in practices, and promote great reduction in the incidences of CAUTI thereby, reducing patient mortality and morbidity rate and the cost of care. I selected the Nursing World Conference (NWC) for my paper on effective handwashing to reduce CAUTI. The fifth edition of the NWC will be held from 18 th to 20 th October 2021 in Orlando, USA (5 th Nursing World Conference, n.d.). It would provide a great opportunity to present my work, where I will give my sentiments on washing of hands when handling a urinary catheter as a paramount practice to protect the patient and the health care provider against harmful germs. The conference will give a platform to air the instances where the health care provider should observe handwashing with soap and clean, running water. These occurrences include before touching the patient, before performing the aseptic procedure for the patient, in case of body fluid exposure, the health care provider is to wash their hands to prevent the exposure risk and after touching the patient and the patient’s surrounding. The information will be available on the site’s homepage and through live streaming.
