Introduction Appropriate demonstration of leadership qualities is essential for a nursing leader aiming to facilitate employee performance. Successful integration of communicative and professional traits becomes a crucial requirement for any nursing leader, who is expected to manifest personal readiness to inspire their subordinates and create a productive workplace environment. Considering that perfectly executing necessary leadership practices has been connected to improved patient care and group collaboration, nurse leaders are expected to efficiently lead their workers (Bender, 2016). In my experience, a nurse leader demonstrating these attributes was the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC), who was my executive during my occupation. This paper focuses on the CEO, describing her excellent leadership characteristics and stating how her example impacted my professional leadership advances. Nurse Leader Presentation When I was working as a certified nursing assistant for an Acute Dialysis Company, aiming to obtain my registered nurse license, I was highly inspired by my direct executive. Stationed at ORMC, she overlooked the nursing operations and controlled the workflow throughout several units, ensuring that all activities were performed successfully. In addition, she was in charge of the program that allowed critically ill patients to receive dialysis services at any time, which required significant involvement and whole-day availability. Finally, the CEO also overlooked floor-to-floor operations, performing procedures if any staffing problems occurred and evaluating which nurses showed professional potential. Communication as a Key Factor in Successful Leadership Communicating with the employees is a vital trait of an efficient nurse leader. A high-quality interaction with the subordinates and productively conveying necessary information is regarded as an exceptional characteristic to be practiced by nurse leaders in the working environment (Korth, 2016). Engaging in conversations and maintaining an open communication pattern presents a possibility to facilitate effective ongoing interactions, ensuring that there is a complete understanding between the leader and the workers (Bender, 2016). In addition, this practice promotes individual and group involvement, demonstrating that each employee’s input is significant for the organization (Bowles et al., 2018). Thus, when a nurse leader successfully prompts communication between the executive and the workers, potential knowledge gaps are eliminated, and a positive working atmosphere is created. The CEO at Orlando ORMC was especially efficient in inciting communication, as she was consistently involved in the nursing unit processes, ensuring that nurses could always share their ideas or concerns regarding a particular situation. The availability of an open line of interaction between the nursing staff and the executive has positively influenced the employees’ involvement, as the CEO would always provide the necessary support,
With regard to the tactics that the United States chose for controlling the Philippines, the counterinsurgency is considered one of the most sophisticated forms of conflict that military service can face. The student has managed to define various techniques that France and Americans managed to implement benevolent assimilation but by different means. I am inclined to think that the French Army was more aggressive towards Algerians than the U.S. army was. In particular, the French authorities colonized Algerian territories to take control of the civilians. However, I agree with the idea that both parts were involved in a violent conflict with the population. Apart from the military tactics, nothing has been mentioned about insurrections occurred both in the Philippines and in Algeria, which can contribute to the analysis of historical events held during the interventions of the armed forces. Different patterns of opposition and suppression practiced by both countries refer to the different political system established in the United States and in France. Therefore, much consideration requires the analysis of the political situation, leading to political and economic changes in the colonized territories. Finally, the deliberation on the unjust policy of the super-states against the territories has been sufficiently presented to understand what actions were not justified in social and moral terms.
Man has had to deal with numerous challenges as far as remaining healthy is concerned. Researchers have been able to identify several causes of health problems among human beings and most of them have grave consequences. Stress has been singled out by most investigators as being one of the major causes of both physical and emotional health problems (Niess, Monnikes, Dignass, Klapp, & Arck, 2002). This has been escalated by the frequent hassles, frustrations, and demands in the day to day life experiences. Attempts to handle all these challenges may end up being overwhelming hence creating a general imbalance in an individual. Reasonable levels of stress have been clinically determined as being helpful particularly when faced with a challenging task like a presentation, examination situation, and deadlines since one becomes alert, energetic, and at full concentration. However, reliable studies have established that extreme/chronic levels of stress can be destructive to a person’s physical and emotional health thus affecting the general productivity, relationships, as well as the quality of the person’s life in general. The research paper will explore the various effects of stress on an individual’s health. According to many research findings, prolonged incidences of stress can have serious impacts on an individual’s health. Extreme levels of stress have the capacity of disrupting virtually the entire body system and its functions. Among other effects, stress can increase the rate of heart beat, paralyze the immune system, the risk of heart attack and stroke, affect a person’s fertility, and raise the general levels of fatigue and aging rate. A research conducted by Hapuarachchi, Chalmers, Winefield, and Blake-Mortimer (2003) found that high levels of oxidative stress, a pro-inflammatory state, high infection rate, and cardiovascular diseases were mostly due to stress. Hapuarachchi and the team also established that homocysteine, and the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) may lead to cardiovascular infections. They arrived at these conclusions after investigating the relationships that may exist between stress and homocysteine, oxidative stress and CRP. High levels of CRT and increased levels of pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory states increase the levels of psychological stress (Hapuarachchi et al., 2003). The study findings further indicate that the levels of anger can be influenced by the levels of homocysteine. A similar investigation was done by Macleod, Smith, Heslop, Metcalfe, Carroll and Hart (2002) with the objective of finding out the association between self reported psychological stress and cardiovascular disease. The researchers engaged Scottish men only with follow up of about 21 years. According to the research findings by Macleod et al., there is greater relationship between higher stress, angina, and some of the hospital admissions (2002). However, critical anal
Introduction The sociology class has been extremely educational and informative. Numerous aspects of life were learned by way of the various theorists and their educational theories. However, the three most important things which I learned from the class are as follows. Main text Socialization being an ongoing and educational process begins from childhood, and the role of the family in the process of socialization is immense. Family is a crucial factor in defining an individual’s ideas, beliefs, personality and self-esteem. The development of positive self-esteem and the ego are important for an individual to face the society and life with confidence. In the movie, ‘into the wild’ the protagonist of the film, Chris, goes on an adventurous journey and lies to the family regarding his whereabouts. A glimpse into the family scene provides us the reasons for Chris’s behavior. The disillusionment and lack of security he has acquired from his parents’ distorted marriage plays a crucial role in devastating not only his excellent academic and sports career but also ultimately his life. By the time he realizes the true meaning of life by way of his journey, it is too late and Chris dies. Thus the important agents of socialization in his life, his parents, played havoc in his life by illustrating behavior that negatively affected the psychological development of Chris and changed the course of his life, towards death. What we must understand is that growth and development of children in favorable environment is crucial so that they can face life and its challenges with confidence rather than with disillusionment, like in Chris’s case. We also learn about the fears and anxiety in the life of teenagers, in their transition from one role to another. In the film, ‘Superbad’ the two friends, Evan and Seth are apprehensive of departing school and the secure atmosphere of home and friendship. In the film, the two tee
Introduction The economy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the second-largest in the Arab world after Saudi Arabia with a gross domestic product of $337 billion according to the statistics provided in the year 2013. The country has a diverse economy and there are so many sources of income for the government apart from oil. However, there is a need to understand that oil has had a major impact on the economic growth of the United Arab Emirates (El Gawad, Lotfy, Sadooni & Katheery, 2008). This has made many researchers heavily focus on the positive side of oil and its impact on the economy of UAE while ignoring the negative impact that this might be having on the economy and its people. The latest research has shown that oil created wealth inequality among citizens of UAE especially immigrant workers (Elhakeem, Elshorbagy&Chebbi, 2007). To add to that, the world is taking a new direction with a focus shifting to green energy, something that is likely to affect the economy negatively. Oil has created wealth inequality in UAE and a shift in world energy focus to green energy will negatively impact the economy of UAE. Statement of the problem Oil is a major contributor to the economy of the UAE and for many years, the country has heavily relied on revenue generated from the exportation of oil to build the country’s economy. As a result that, oil has been seen as a major economic pillar and few researchers have concentrated on whether it has any negative impact on the economy of UAE. Wealth inequality in UAE is something that has been able to build over a period of time and this has happened because of the structures that have been in place. The main purpose of this research will be to find out how oil as a resource has contributed to wealth inequality in UAE and how a shift globally on the focus to green energy might affect the economy of UAE. Justification This is a study that is justified because of the manner in which it is going to yield new insights on what oil has actually been able to do for the economy of UAE from a negative perspective. This will shift focus away from the past where scholars have concentrated on the manner in which oil has added value to the economy of UAE (Khalaf & Alkobaisi, 2009). There are immigrants who moved to UAE to work as laborers in oil fields and there is nothing that they can show up for after many years of toiling while there are those who have accumulated wealth as a result of work done by these people.

Australia Australia is one of the developed countries that are faced with the problem of dwindling supplies of clean water as some of the reliable rivers become smaller in size than they were in the past (Dixon, 2015). Residential In residential areas, the government has come up with the following policies and strategic goals to reduce water wastage as a way of addressing the scarcity of this commodity:   * To reduce Melbourne residents’ rate of water consumption by 40% by 2020 through the use of improved showerheads, toilets, and taps (Melbourne Planning Scheme, 2013).   * The government has encouraged its citizens to avoid or minimize the use of traditional showers because of the massive amount of water that they require (Guerrini & Romano, 2014). Agriculture Agriculture is one of the main areas that consume a lot of water. The following best practices are embraced in the country to help address the water problem:   * Most farmers are using smart-landscaping as a means of maximizing water use on the farms by avoiding run-offs. Carbon Farming Initiative is proposed by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources and the Emissions Reduction Fund to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. This approach is useful for areas with more than 600mm average annual rainfall. Since the agriculture sector of Australia counts for 18% of emissions, the contribution to water management is significant.   * Farmers are now embracing crops that require limited water and time to mature. It helps in reducing the pressure on farms (Dixon, 2015). Figure 1 below shows sources of water for the Australian agricultural sector: Figure 1. Water sources (Lehane, 2014). Non-Revenue The government has introduced policies to minimize logging in the country to ensure that constant afforestation is not necessary (Washburn, 2013). The above is because planting new trees uses a significant amount of water. California The state of California is one of the areas in the United States where water is becoming a scarce resource. It is sometimes affected by flooding that destroys the state’s water infrastructure (Khare & Beckman, 2013). Residential The Los Angeles government has come up with various measures to ensure that water is used in the residential areas responsibly:   * Water in the residential areas is metered to ensure that the residents become more responsible in their use of water. It means that those who are tempted to use more water will have to pay larger water bills (Russ, 2018).   * Residential landscape architecture is also becoming common in California. As noted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), remediation techniques, reuse of greywater, and drip irrigation may help to prevent $1.6 billion spent annually by using approximately nine billion gallons of water in terms of flooding (“Sustainable residential design,” 2018). Agriculture   * Regulated deficit irrigation. The micro-spray system of i
American Civil War is said to have ruined one America and laid the foundation for another the building of which is not complete even now. After the Civil War, the country faced problems in the economy, politics, and social sphere but the changes which occurred during the period of Reconstruction alleviated these problems and influenced positively the overall situation in the country. To begin with, the Civil War entailed the crash of the economy and the depression which followed the Panic of 1873. President Grant and Congress were blamed for mishandling the economy and involving the country in such economic problems as deflation, declining market, and overproduction. In September 1873 Jay Cooke and Company announced its collapse which served as the beginning of the Panic of 1873 since namely this bank financed construction of the railroad in the post-war period. The depression which followed the Panic of 1873 lasted till the end of the decade and resulted in the failure of 10,000 businesses. What’s more, there arose a threat to the normal functioning of agriculture. The abolishment of slavery caused the reduction of the labor force in plantations and the former slaveholders had to hire people to work at plantations. Furthermore, the biggest social problem the South faced after the war was the Ku-Klux-Klan which first started in the southern regions but later acquired the national scope. Since a number of black people were released from slavery, they had to enter the society which, however, strongly opposed it. The members of the Ku-Klux Klan fought for white supremacy intimidating, oppressing, and lynching African-Americans as well as Jews and members of minority groups. Regarding the political problems in the South it was traced that the highest level of government experienced distrust and disagreement while barely surmountable bureaucratic problems brought much of its operations to a near halt (Shannon D. Smith, p. 6). Therefore, it can be stated that the postwar government was marked by its ineffectiveness which could not but influenced greatly the overall position of the Southern regions. Moreover, the existing constitution still did not give black people rights to participate in political activities which they tried to mend by penetrating into different governmental structures. As far as the social changes in the period of Reconstruction are concerned, the Reconstruction marked the revolution for black people. They gained the right to control their schools and churches and an opportunity to improve their own community. The black people could now control their economic and family lives without any intervention of the former slave-holding system. Discussing the economical changes it would be necessary to mention that a proper solution to the agricultural problem was found. There appeared a new method of land lease, namely sharecropping which allowed tenants to use land under the condition that they would share part of their crop. A change in the plantation system of agriculture could be observed which consisted in its replac
Impairment loss on property, plant and equipment Under IFRS, impairment loss arises when the carrying amount of an asset surpasses its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is estimated by the difference between the net selling price and the value in use. Further, the value in use is estimated by taking the sum of the present value of future cash flow that is expected from the use of assets and disposal. On the other hand, impairment of assets under the US GAAP occurs when the carrying amount of the asset surpasses the sum of undiscounted future cash flow that is expected from disposal and the continuous use of the asset (Perera & Doupnik, 2014). Therefore, it is evident that there is a difference in how the impairment of assets is determined. There is a difference in how the impairment loss of an asset is determined under the two standards. In accordance with IFRS, an impairment loss is estimated by taking the difference between carrying and recoverable amount of the asset. On the other hand, the impairment loss under the US GAAP is the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. Therefore, the difference between the two standards is the use of recoverable amount and fair value. In most cases, these two values are likely to be different (Wahlen, Jones & Pagach, 2015). The two standards also differ on treatment of reversal of an impairment loss. For instance, under IFRS, the original value of impairment loss can be recognized if it can be established that the recoverable amount surpasses the new estimated value of the carrying amount. On the other hand, the reversal of impairment loss that was earlier recognized cannot be reversed (Harrison, Horngren & Thomas, 2014). Calculation of closing inventory The table presented below shows the calculations of the amount at which the inventory should be reported at the end of the year. IFRS Historical cost                                $20,000 Estimated selling price               $17,000          Estimated costs to complete and sell  2,000            Net realizable value                           15,000  Inventory loss                                 5,000    Based on IAS 2, measurement of carrying amount of inventory is done by taking the lower of costs or net realizable value (Weil, Schipper & Francis, 2013).

How a Nurse Practitioner Protect a Client from Being Harmed by the Vericiguat Medication People may ask why drugs alert and recalls are necessary. They are necessary since they safeguard patients from the maltreatment that may be triggered to them by medications defective. Nurse practitioners can protect a client from being harmed by the vericiguat medication by informing the Medicine and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) of any quality defect suspected, which would result in restriction or a recall (Lowe, 2018). Nurse practitioners can also follow checklists and basic care performance to ensure that client is protected from being harmed by the drug vericiguat. Description, Usage, and Dosage of Vericiguat Drug Vericiguat is a cyclase guanylate soluble stimulator designated to lessen the danger of failure of the heart and cardiovascular death (Rana et al., 2019). Verquvo tablets contain Vericiguat, which is a guanylate cyclase soluble stimulator. It is a white to yellowish powder which is slightly soluble in acetone and freely soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide. The Vericiguat drug is present as tablets for oral administration. The coating film contains titanium dioxide, talc, and hypromellose. Vericiguat is an oral drug used to reduce the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death. The preliminary dosage is 2.5mg vocally once every day with diet. One should target a dose of 10mg daily to reach the maintenance target by doubling the dose every two weeks. Side Effects of Vericiguat Drug Vericiguat causes allergic reactions such as breathing difficulties, hives, face, lips, and swelling. The drugs also cause a feeling of lightheadedness and can lead to a lack of blood in the body. The most common side effects are suffering from low blood pressure and anemia. Who Can Use Vericiguat Drug Vericiguat drugs can be used by certain adults with chronic heart failure to reduce the need to be in hospital and also to lower the death risk (Gras, 2018). It is used by a grown-up with chronic symptomatic HF with a fraction less than 45% ejection.
