Introduction Texas was the first state in the United States to report a case of Ebola. Thomas Eric Duncan, the patient in this case showed up at Texas Presbyterian Hospital emergency room on September 26 th 2014 complaining of high fever, severe pain and general weakness. Despite the fact that these signs required a stay in, Mr. Duncan was sent home with antibiotics. Due to the critical nature of his condition, he died three days later. Even though Mr. Duncan mentioned the fact that he had just arrived from Liberia no course of action was taken. Mr. Duncan needed attention, yet the medical staff did not attend to him. The Malpractice Mr. Duncan’s case is a classic representation of malpractice. Any failure by the doctors or health professionals to diagnose a disease or to delay in diagnosing a disease is a common base for medical malpractice (Stubenrauch, 2007). The medical practitioners in this case failed to act on indications of a critical health problem that Mr. Duncan was facing. In addition, appropriate tests were not conducted in accordance with standard medical procedures to ascertain Mr. Duncan’s condition (Croke, 2003). Ethical issues of Ebola First, the medical practitioner should establish the nature of the signs. Get the facts regarding the travel patterns of the patient. This information will help to identify any whether the patient has interacted with an infected person. Upon verifying the presence of Ebola, it is important to send the patient to specialized rooms for Ebola patients. This will give the staff adequate time to monitor the situation. In addition, the patient will be treated in isolation. Let the senior medical professionals within the hospital know about the situation in advance. It is important to find out if the patient has been in contact with other people. This will help the hospital to notify the concerned people about the need for a medical checkup. Disciplinary Actions Cases of malpractice lead to legal court suits (Croke, 2003). There are several legal suits in progress due to malpractice. If the professional is found guilty, some are barred from practicing. While others are jailed, depending on the nature of harm inflicted on the patient. These suits are harmful to the hospital and the entire medical profession since they generate public distrust. Conclusion It is important to create a clear framework on how to handle Ebola cases. Such an approach will ensure that patients who report symptoms similar to Ebola obtain appropriate medical attention. This will reduce cases of malpractice in the medical institutions.
The high school world history curriculum designed by Georgia Department of Education (2012) for the World History course of the state of Georgia is targeted at providing students with a comprehensive overview and study of the most prominent occurrences and themes that occurred in the course of the world history. The curriculum plan begins with introducing students to the events associated with the earliest global civilizations and continues with the examination of major events and developments that took place in all locations around the planet. Importantly, the curriculum concludes with the study of continuity and change that occurred at the beginning of the twenty-first century (Georgia Department of Education, 2012). The text for each level in the curriculum is divided into specific themes that correspond with the events of global histories, such as “Societies in the ancient Eastern Mediterranean from 3500 BCE to 500 BCE,” “Achievements of Chinese and Indian societies from 1100 BCE to 500 CE,” “Political, philosophical, and cultural interaction of Classical Mediterranean cultures from 700 BCE to 400 CE,” and so on (Georgia Department of Education, 2012). Students are expected to show their understanding of the selected themes included in the World History curriculum by using their skills and knowledge that they have acquired during the school year. However, understanding of the subjects is not the expected end goal of each lesson or unit included in the curriculum; rather, the end product of the outlined curriculum is the ongoing and long-term instruction that has been presented during the entire course. However, the strategies associated with teaching ELLs World History remain underdeveloped, so the analysis of the curriculum will aim to determine which aspects of the curriculum need improvement and which are suitable for ELLs. Background Knowledge Each component (chapter) in the World History curriculum is aimed at representing the connecting topics that can appear in several units throughout the entire course. The conventional understanding goes beyond the units of the course and increases students’ performance with regards to the acquisition and the retention of new knowledge. The following list includes topics (terms) targeted at enhancing students’ understanding:  1. Conflict and Change: students will learn that
The book, Night, outlines Eliezer’s religious and psychological journey during the holocaust. The main conflict is Eli’s struggle to remain faithful and maintain his trust in God despite the inhumane conditions he is subjected to in the concentration camps. At first, Eliezer believes in a present and powerful God. However, his ideas about God and the divinity of the world change overnight, and he repeatedly denounces God. Interestingly, he manages to leave the concentration camps with unwavering faith. This paper will give further details about Eliezer’s personal revelation of the transformation knowledge of God. Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient Eliezer’s faith plays a significant role in Wiesel’s book, Night . A critical analysis of the beginning of the text opens a window linking Eliezer to devotion and commitment in God. His unshakable and unconditional faith in God is demonstrated at the beginning of the text through his interest in Talmud, and expressing grief over the destruction of the Temple (Wiesel 3). His desire to seek more knowledge in Jewish religion directs him to Moishe, who asks him why he cries whilst praying. Wiesel records his reply, “I don’t know” (4), an element that demonstrates his total believe and faith in God. Even though he was not aware of the reason as to why he was praying, the emotions elicited through weeping were enough to comprehend the seriousness in which he perceived the prayers. Even so, Eliezer admits that an inner force triggered the sobbing “something inside me felt the need to cry” (p.4). His Godly acts are manifested through religious studies and devoted night prayers at the synagogue. His desire to expand drives interest in studying cabbala, which his father opposed. Fuelled by an attempt to communicate with God, Eliezer finds Moishe and Beadle, who initiates him into reading Zohar. His interest in Jewish mysticism gives him insights about the true nature and character of God as omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. He believes that the physical world is a reflection of God’s divine world, which reflected His goodness, holiness, and power. The deportation of Jews from their homes does not separate Eliezer from his trust in God. He remains strong, praying in the morning, and even thank God on arrival at Auschwitz. Absent and Unjust A number of experiences in the course of the holocaust shake Eliezer’s faith (Perry and Natchez 9). As documented by Wiesel, his first night in the camps exterminated his faith, as he believes the moments assassinated his God and soul (Wiesel 34). Eliezer witnesses cruelty and brutality, which he believes does not reflect the divinity of the God he trusted. The thoughts of God allowing people to go through much sorrow and distress pained his heart. For the first time at Auschwitz selection camp, Eliezer confronts God and asks why his name should be sanctified while he chose to be silent. In Wiesel’s text, Eliezer asks, “What was there to thank Him for?” (33). During his days in the pr
Brief Introduction A museum is a building that accommodates various artifacts, scientific objects, and history of a certain group of people. The artistic and cultural values of these people may be also presented in different ways depending on policies of a museum. Anything significant concerning a certain ethnic group is available in a museum. However, there are two main types of museums such as art museum, and history museum. This depends on what a certain museum want to present concerning a certain group of people (Aguirre and Turner 119). This paper will focus on three exhibition museums presenting the culture of some ethnic groups. Several issue such, as how the groups are presented in the museums would be discussed and many more. The Wing Luke Museum Wing Luke Museum is in Seattle. Seattle is found in Washington’s Chinatown-international District. This museum specializes in issues of culture, art, and history of Asian, pacific Americans. People find this museum as memorable, because it is the only one, which presents the information concerning the pan-Asian pacific American. The life experiences of this ethnic group are clearly explained in the museum. Asian, pacific Americans are among the most dominant racial groups in United States of America (Chinese Historical Society 83). The name of the museum is in honor of one member of Seattle city council. This person was the first Asian American to be an official in one of the public offices in the Pacific Northwest. At the beginning, this museum only focused on Asian folk art but later expanded its coverage to various aspects of the entire Asian, pacific Americans community. Other crucial programs are presented in the museum such as addressing civil rights, and humanity justice issues. These programs are meant to promote understanding of various cultures and tolerance. Wing Luke history is one representation of the Asian pacific Americans. He is described as a person, who portrayed the importance of adhering to civil rights (Miller 102). He advocated for urban renewal, and the need for honoring historic events. Through other presentations, the Asian pacific Americans are portrayed as people with exceptional hearts of survival, as they succeed through many struggles in United States. They are represented as people with high hopes, compassion, and have knowledge of handling various types of conflicts. The stories concerning this ethnic group is told through written posters that are hanged everywhere in the museum. Every topic is presented in different posters for people, who are interested to read (Museum Education Roundtable 35). The photos, for clear understanding among the visitors, accompany most of the information presented. Video presentations are also provided to tell the story clearly for those visitors, who would prefer such methods. For instance, food is part of any group’s culture
Introduction: Religious Truth Claims and Their Justification The history of religious claims is long and complicated, much like the concept of pain in different religions, from Christianity to Krishna worship. As a result, a number of religious claims regarding pain have emerged over the years of the evolution of religion. There are statements saying that pain “at its most destructive, disintegrates the human life-world as it disintegrates language” (Stull 16); however, these claims exist on par with the concept of pain and suffering as the means of purification (Stull 104). The lack of consensus regarding the nature and effect of pain in religious context has produced a number of arguments, which, in their turn, can be tracked down to the famous truth claim of Jesus as the ultimate Savior of the human race (Stull 104) as shown in the Bible vs. Joseph Smith movie: “So, we aren’t talking about a letter here, of difference. We’re not talking about a few words. We’re talking some major differences in how much text is in Joseph Smith’s Isaiah and our modern Bibles” ( Bible vs. Joseph Smith 00:02:17). Thesis statement: Despite the fact that religious pluralism allows for a number of controversies, including religious clashes regarding specific controversies, such as the differences between various confessions, e.g., Catholic and Protestant, the religious viewpoint on such issues as homosexuality, etc., and, particularly, the concept of pain in religion, it still seems the most reasonable standpoint at present, seeing how the existing alternatives presuppose the breach of people’s rights and freedoms. Analyzing the Plausibility of Religious Claims: Where the Line Is Drawn As a rule, there are clear distinctions between plausible and implausible religious claims; their plausibility is determined with the help a variety of tools, starting with mere logics and common sense, and up to long theological discussions. However, certain patterns in determining the plausibility of religious claims can be tracked down which can be traced in the religious definition of pain and the related claims. Plausible religious claims: the truth shines through Among the plausible claims on the nature of pain and its endurance, the humanist interpretation of its effects on human mind and body as the Christian religion suggests it should be mentioned. According to the common concept of pain as a synonym for suffering, it is merely another mean to cognize the “good”; as Steinkraus puts it, if there were no pain, there would be no chance to experience relief: “If no suffering and pain existed, we would not appreciate the good and pleasant” (Steinkraus 127). Therefore, Steinkraus does not exactly state that pain and evil have little in common, but clearly shows that pain can be of a positive e
The Groups In this study, the main focus group will be taken from major cities, which include Fort Walton Beach, Crestview, Niceville/Valparaiso, and Destin. These cities were chosen because most of the residents in Okaloosa County live here. The county has a population of over 185,000 people, according to the census conducted in 2010 (Lightfoot, Trenton & Vaughan, 2015). The Demographics and Agencies Relevant in the Management of Obesity In this county, the ratio of male to female is 50.2:49.8. The majority of the residents are Caucasians at 84% While African Americans form 9.2% of the total population (Cholcher & Ziegler, 2015). Other minority groups include Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and Asians. According to recent statistics, obesity affects people of all races, sex, and age groups. This means that people who fall in the above groups can become obese if they fail to manage their diets and engage in physical activities. The fight against obesity brings together various agencies, which include schools, healthcare centers, and even the organizational employers concerned about the health of their employees. Rational for agencies mentioned Obesity is majorly caused by a lack of proper activity and a poor diet. Schools are currently playing a major role in combating this disease. Programs have been developed to ensure that children engage actively in sports. They are also educated on the dangers of obesity and how to fight it at an early stage. In healthcare centers, those who are already suffering from obesity get medical help. Firms have also developed programs to ensure that their employees engage in sports or other physical leisure activities. The Group at Risk The people who are at high risk of developing health complications that relate to obesity are those in the middle and advanced ages (Butterfoss & Kegler, 2005). According to Berry, Kaplan, Reid, and Albert (2009), after delivery, women are likely to gain weight, especially if they become less active than they were before conception. At this age, women find it unnecessary to go to the gym or engage in sports. They concentrate on taking care of their families. They also rely on cars for most of their movements, putting them at the greatest risk of becoming obese. Engagement of the Majority Groups In order to find a lasting solution to the problem of obesity among the middle-aged and aging women, it is necessary to develop engagement programs that will help in awareness creation. Obesity does not just affect this group, but also other members of the society (Butterfoss & Kegler, 2005). The engagement program should focus on reaching the target group wit
Betabrand is a retail company situated in San-Francisco. It designs and manufactures clothes for men and women. This company is also known as an online crowdfunding platform that uses the collective intelligence system to meet its specific business goals. The purpose of the following paper is to produce a report based on the activity of this company. The website of the company creates a positive impression. The company slogan and activity list presented on the home page assures the visitor that one is able to participate in the creative process to get the desired item of clothes. The site is easy to load due to the absence of excessive elements such as sound that might mislead or confuse a buyer who visits it for the first time. The color scheme of the site is blue and involves creative approaches to the design of webpages, such as motion and changing of photos. Some principles of art design are used to create photo collages. The website contains such basic information as the address of the company retail store and office, as well as email addresses and phone numbers. There are no press releases or corporate reports available on the website at present. Company history is presented as a number of successful products referred to as web hits designed and manufactured by Betabrand. Promotional offers, coupons, and customer surveys seem to be a part of the collective intelligence strategy utilized by the company. The store has a developed system of discounts presented at each clothes category and visible under the photo of a product. It is also possible to view all discounts available by selecting Mega Deals from the menu at the top of the website. The customer can also get a discount after designing and voting for the models one likes. There are also group discounts when one purchases more than ten items of one product and student discounts available when one gives proof of being a U.S. student. The last two discounts are hidden at the bottom of the page, which makes it difficult to notice them. The customer is able to give feedback in comments and reviews of
Both the Wrongs of Woman and Maria (1798) by Mary Wollstonecraft and Ann Radcliffe’s The Italian (1797) reflect particular social perspectives of women at different stages in the then changing cultural environment of the eighteenth century. The woman has to reconsider the limiting identity that the patriarchal society has accorded her and form alliances that will ensure that she overturns the social order. The main heroines in the two novels seek to subvert the social order of the sublime patriarchy by claiming more liberalized identities and forging alliances, however, in different ways. This paper argues that political consciousness and positive reconstruction of social identities are essential steps towards the liberalization of the woman in the eighteenth century as portrayed in the two novels. The liberalization of the woman, therefore, depends upon the active participation of the woman in the endeavor rather than reliance on other social forces to bring about change. A good number of playwrights have devoted their lives into addressing the subject of femininity. Mary Wollstonecraft is an epitome of such people based on the way she represents a feminine subjectivity in her novel that is overt and radically political. The memoirs of Maria to her daughter disclose the “circumstances which, during her childhood, occurred to fashion her mind” (Wollstonecraft 123). Maria’s subjectivity becomes politicized the moment it is revealed to her that her identity is arbitrated by her position as subordinated to the networks that shape her social existence according to Wollstonecraft’s background in enlightenment and sentimental philosophies explored in the text. As a child, Maria was forced into “continual restraint in the most trivial matters; [and] unconditional submission to orders which… [she] soon discovered to be unreasonable, because they were inconsistent and contradictory” (Wollstonecraft 125). Maria comes to the realization that her constrained identity is the result of an artificial social creation. This comes when she contrasts “the unnatural restraint of (her family’s) fire side to the “Volatized humors” that are often enjoyed in the natural world, which she terms as ‘a paradise of open air and freedom” (Wollstonecraft 126). Maria’s liberally educated uncle teaches her to how to trust and consequently act upon the subjective perceptions that are in constant attack from the tyrannical other. She narrates: “He inculcated, with great warmth, self-respect, and a lofty consciousness of acting right, independent of the censure or applause of the world; nay, he almost taught me to brave, and even despise its censure, when convinced of the rectitude of my own intentions!” (Wollstonecraft 128). She, as a result, develops a class transcendent relationship with the falle
XML/Schema and RDF/Schema Extensible markup language (XML) is a tool for data storage and transport. XML could be recognized as a software and hardware infrastructure. XML is categorized into four features, which include the sender information, receiver information, heading, and message body (Hardesty 53). XML is extensible, redundant, and self-describing. The resource description framework (RDF) is a tool that describes web infrastructures. RDF can also be used for data transfer (Hacherouf et al. 246). In contrast, the resource description framework is a data model, while XML is the syntax. The RDF data model is feasible and can be integrated with unique identifiers. However, XML and RDF contain databases that could be stored, transported, and interchanged. Mobile and Pervasive Computing Mobile computing describes the capacity to interact with computers using communication devices (Rao and Chryulu 14). Mobile computing creates human-computer interaction. Pervasive computing integrates microprocessors into these communication gadgets to aid interaction. As a result, end-user communication and interaction occur on all objects and devices. Mobile computing is similar to pervasive computing because they support human-computer interaction (Rao and Chryulu 15). In contrast, pervasive computing is an adaptable capability of computational gadgets. However, mobile computing comprises portable devices for human-computer interaction. Mobile computing devices include handheld gadgets and communication infrastructures. Mobile computing is similar to pervasive computing because both techniques support the communication of information (Rao and Chryulu 16). However, mobile computing deals with user interaction with mobile devices. As a result, all forms of mobile devices are classified in mobile computing. Pervasive computing uses all communication devices, which include mobile devices, satellite links, PDAs, and network gadgets. WSDL, SOAP, and UDDI SOAP is an Extensible markup language (XML) that uses the web services description language (WSDL) for communication support services (Sumathi et al. 60). The WSDL defines the contract between service providers and customers. The Universal description and discovery integration (UDDI) is an XML protocol that creates a channel to locate the WSDL service. The SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI are XML protocols that support and facilitate business interaction between customers and service providers. UDDI, WSDL, and SOAP are XML protocols that enhance web services. SOAP protocol enables the communication between web services, while the WSDL describes the web service (Sumathi et al. 62). However, the UDDI protocol allows the discovery of the WSDL protocol. Web users can assess the UDDI protocol using the SOAP. The chain of communication establishe
