The targets of POC testing are to accomplish, to the highest degree conceivable, excellence in clinical testing, and execution by tending to the following goals:   * To guarantee that patient test outcomes are exact and complete;   * To improve the consistency of testing techniques and the quality of affirmative practices performed during testing;   * To recognize and rectify issues experienced while taking after composed systems;   * To guarantee that detailed records are kept to allow for an assessment regarding the quality of the results delivered to the patient;   * To provide both expert and novice staff with the cost-effective methodology, reagents, and gear expected to unhesitatingly perform testing and execute this administration program to the highest standard;   * To guarantee testing integrity, reliability, and quality; and   * To distinguish the different needs and assets that influence and enhance the abilities of the staff. Troponin device recommendations Based on the revised submissions, the Roche TROP T® sensitive device is suitable for the Troponin test. The Roche TROP T® sensitive test kit provides ample time for emergency diagnosis before and after any cardiac damage. The test device is a visual procedure that allows specimen integration. 1,2,4 The test device supports a qualitative assessment of elevated blood levels. Because the Roche TROP T® device operates without the need for any measurement instrument, it can be deployed in local settings, unknown conditions, and emergency locations. Based on the criteria for analysis, the Roche TROP T® device is highly versatile, cost-effective, reliable, valid, simple, and portable; moreover, it provides a wide diagnostic spectrum. The pre-logical stage of Troponin devices describes diverse exercises that support the research center assessments and clinical lab analysis. Pre-analytical phases include the patient’s arrangement, test gathering, specimen storage, transportation, readiness, and capacity of the examples. The main sources of pre-investigative variability are identified as patient readiness, test transportation, specimen analysis, and planning. Thus, pre-analytical conditions influence elevated or negative levels of troponin. 5,6,8 Creatinine device recommendations Point-of-care-testing (PoCT) devices for creatinine levels can be categorized into blood gas and non-blood gas specimens. 3,7 However, non-analytical criteria for the creatinine test include method principles, calibration, photometric detection, consumables, and enzymatic reaction. 9 Thus, a PoCT device must be simple, standard, and effective. By implication, the specimen result must correlate with lab analysis. Creatinine is a settled biochemical marker for renal measurements,
Microsoft Office Excel is a program with immense potential, which can be used in a variety of settings. However, in the business environment, Excel becomes particularly important (Anderson et al. 23). The program has many useful functions, which can optimize business processes, making them more efficient, and Value is one of them. The primary idea of this function is to extract the numerical value from a text string that represents a number. In order for Value to work, the text is to be in one of the formats supported by Excel, such as time, date, or any constant number. For example, if the function is applied to a cell containing sums ($5000), it will automatically retrieve only the numerical value and paste it into the new cell (5000). Suppose it is required to calculate the budget for a new project. It is plausible that initial estimations will result in a spreadsheet with currency indicated in each cell. While manual corrections are equally possible, deleting the dollar signs for each entry may be time-consuming in large projects. The Value funct
The losses that women faced before, during, and after immigration were immense and greater than the gains attached. These negative effects range from the basic losses in society to the adverse deaths of children, relatives, and husbands. Oishi performed a field assessment involving 9 countries from Asia to demonstrate the differences of the origin, social effects, and cultural setup for women migrating within and outside a country as domestic workers. The conceptual orientation of working as domestic workers abroad is based on the economic destabilization of their relatively stable countries in order to send money to their families. Occurring in this position, these women tend to have higher salaries than their origin country can offer under its prevailing conditions. However, such salaries are still low in the hosted country, making value appears only in the country of origin. The migrating women sacrifice their livelihoods and family cares in order to seek employments that their families cannot live without while resigning their roles as mothers and wives. Furthermore, women also live within unique cultures and language barriers that make social life restricted after migration. In fact, men may be much more adaptive to host nations than women, as Hofstetter argues (Hofstetter 163). The parental care offered by the mother is exceptional and may not be replaced by a father in a family. Gemmeke urges that the mother should take care of the children and let the father provide for daily needs as she continues to give birth and develop the family (Gemmeke 94). Ideally, she is the one who can mother more children even when the father is away and visiting occasionally. In this respect, it is not only the mother who loses the opportunity to give birth but also the whole family is affected greatly. At times, women’s migration results from violence where people are displaced. They face sexual violations, war, life losses, and vacate to a peaceful area with children (Levchenko 232). However, these women and children must meet their daily needs, which implies that they have to seek employment from the host regions and countries. Women carry children and stay with them when men are either trapped or killed in such terror. When women are saved from these regions, they start to lose edges of war since their husbands are killed. They grieve for their children and husbands while taking responsibility for the remaining ones. Social attributes, linked to migration, also affect the females since they are separated from friends and communities. They must restart their social lives with new people and communities (Ndiaye 48). Espiritu examined society from a gender perspective where women’s employment and wage laboring are influenced by restrictions and opportunities associated with economies of host and origin countries within Asia (Espiritu 83). Asian women are not able to cha
Introduction In this assignment, I would write essays based on ethical constraints from Barbara Mackinnon’s book, Ethics: Theory and Contemporary Issues when applied to four real-life situations. The objective is to test the practical validity of various ethical theories when seen from the point of view of conflicting moral situations, and how these theories can act as a guiding force to ensure good decisions in the well-being of the majority. Homosexuality: Ethical or Not? Throughout the annals of history (except for the modern era), homosexuality has been seen as an aberration from a socio-religious point of view. Leaders of various religious denominations such as churches and synagogues have traditionally viewed these acts as objectionable, not limiting themselves to giving them pejorative labels. “Sodomy”, “Acts against nature” and other disparaging terms have been used to describe the homosexual phenomenon (Mackinnon, p. 231). However, if one goes through D.P. Verene’s Sexual Love and Moral Experience essay, some facts would contradict the assumption of homosexuality being against nature in any way. Verene believes that one has to “recover the experience of Eros in order to feel a complete person because it is through the erotic alone that human beings can be connected to creativity” (Mackinnon, p. 234). One of the ethical theories regarding moral psychology suggests that it is not possible to divorce ethics from creation as the latter is responsible for any action that can be held as just (Mackinnon, p. 21). Going by that logic, Verene’s assumption that achieving an orgasm is necessary to sustain the process of creativity may be viewed in a complimentary light. However, Verene’s claims could be a bit too vague and unsubstantiated because the “creativity-ethics” theory operates on the premise that human society is somehow opposed to pleasurable sex. In this context, it is safe to assume that Verene’s claim for an ethical ideal through orgasm cannot be applied to the subject of homosexuality. It is much more pertinent to refer to other authors including Richard D. Mohr’s Prejudice and Homosexuality which brings a real moral angle to the question of ethics when applied to same-sex relations. Mohr mentions the discrimination and prejudice homosexuals face because of their lifestyle choice. The fact that such discrimination cannot be tolerated under an ethical framework, would help our title argument in a better way. Another angle
The term ‘surfing the internet’ was invented because of people’s behavior of randomly roaming from one website to another. Internet surfing essentially involves causal clicking of different web links one after the other in search of similar or related information. As such, it is important to note that internet surfing was only possible after the invention of the World Wide Web. Given the vast information that is currently available on the internet, most people especially the young adults have found themselves being addicted to internet surfing. However, it should be noted people surf the internet reasons. This paper is therefore an in-depth analysis of the various reasons that make people surf the internet. Since the invention of the internet, it is agreeable that it is one of the most important innovations to be made by man. This is because of the many benefits it has proved to have to people of all generations. The list of things that can be done on the internet is endless. First of all, the young adults most of who comprise of students normally surf the internet for educational information, corresponding via electronic mails, chatting with their distant friends and downloading music and applications among other uses (Himanshu 1). Through surfing the internet, the young adults/ students have been able to share information with their colleagues by creating their own websites that show their interests. Internet surfing has also made it possible for people to share memories via videos and pictures. Students have also had the privilege of attending online classes through internet surfing without having to physically move from their homes. This has had the benefit of helping students overcome geographical boundaries and be able to study at educational institutions of their choice. The other reason that the young adults and students surf the internet is to reconnect with their old and current friends through social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace just to mention a few (Himanshu 1). The adults surf the internet for various reasons, which include online shopping instead of having to literally move from one shopping mall to another. This way, they manage to save much time that could be utilized in other important matters. The internet has also made it possible for people to make online payments for instance, using PayPal. This has made it easy for people to carry out transactions faster, without delay of payments as witnessed in most of the cheque system. Surfing the internet also helps in giving information regarding places that people would like to visit for holidays. Travellers are able to gather information regarding different places and have the option to choosing the best without having to waste time and money travelling to the physical places. In addition to this, children also surf the internet or games, which they play online during holidays. People at work can also surf th
Introduction Molecular cloning is a set of methods in molecular biology that is used to obtain multiple copies of the target DNA fragment. This procedure includes several steps: preparation of cloning vector and a target DNA fragment, preparation of a recombinant DNA, and its insertion into a host organism. Target DNA fragment – it is usually a coding gene or a regulatory element. For molecular cloning procedures, it should be isolated, amplified, and purified. As a vector, bacterial plasmids and bacteriophages are used. Bacterial transformation is a process of recombinant DNA (a cloning vector linked with a target DNA fragment) insertion into a host bacterial cells (1). Various methods could be used for bacterial transformation with plasmid vectors, including chemical treatment of cells with salts (in particular, CaCl 2 ), heating the bacterial suspension, or electroporation. All the approaches have the same principle: after the treatment, small holes appear in the bacterial membrane, which makes the process of plasmid uptake easier (2). The electroporation technique is widely used for bacterial cell transformation. It was stated that the efficiency of this process is up to 80% of survived transformed cells (3). For this procedure, the suspension of bacterial cells and recombinant DNA plasmids are subjected to brief electrical impulses. It results in small holes that appear in bacterial membranes. Plasmids could easily penetrate into bacterial cytosol through these holes (4). After plasmid insertion, it is required to select transformed cells. Several approaches are used for this procedure. A recombinant vector contains genes that allow the identification and selection of transformed cells. It could be a gene of certain antibiotic resistance (1) or a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) gene. GFP is a protein from jellyfish Aequorea Victoria. It is responsible for glowing points of light around the margin of its umbrella (5). In response to ultra-violet radiation, GFP produces green fluorescence emission. According to the technique, the GFP-coding gene introduced downstream of the promoter region of a target gene. Therefore, if cells produce GFP, they also produce target molecules. GFP gene expression can be easily detected under the ultra-violet radiation. Bacterial colonies that produce green fluorescence could be visually identified and isolated (6). GFP plasmids (pGFPs) are widely used in molecular cloning techniques in biomedical researches. It is used for human cells transformation in cancer studies (7), animals (8), and bacterial (9) cells transformation. In biotechnology, molecular cloning with pGFP is widely used to insert genes of target protein production (enzymes, human antibodies, recombinant medicaments such as antibiotics and insulin, protein for vaccines production, and others) (10). In this laboratory report, the process of bacterial cell transformation is described. This project is dedicated to recombinant plasmid construction and bacterial cells tran
Introduction The development of an individual largely depends on both the inborn features and psychological predispositions, in combination with the predominant social and cultural values progressed in a society (Andersson & Eisemann, 2003). The family environment has long been identified as exerting significant etiological influences on personality development and behavior. Most of the retrospective studies have evaluated a wide continuum of parental rearing behavior representing factors that are significantly critical in forming a child and shaping the adult character during the rest of the lifespan (Andersson & Eisemann, 2003). Consecutive epidemiological studies (West & Sheldon-Keller, 1994; Jaeger et al., 2000; Schindler et al., 2007) have demonstrated an irrefutable relationship between early family experiences and behaviors exhibited by children, adolescents, and adults later in life, and a significant proportion of these studies have brought into the public limelight a wealth of information concerning the relationship between the broad concept of attachment and psychopathologic behaviors exhibited by individuals (Schindler et al., 2005). A meta-analysis of numerous studies relating to attachment and parental rearing behaviors have revealed that the quality of rapport between children and their caregivers is of intrinsic importance to the children’s development (Schindler et al., 2005; Schindler et al., 2007), and some studies, as demonstrated by Brooks et al (2003), have been successful in tracing adolescent behavior problems back to the parents rearing behaviors during early childhood and the styles of attachment established during this critical phase of development (Nurco & Lerner, 1996). A recent study involving more than 6,000 children aged below 12 years reinforced the findings of previous studies by Brook et al (2003) and Andersson & Eisemann (2003) that children who are insecurely attached to their mothers during the early years of development experience elevated behavior problems later in life (Rholes & Simpson, 2004). Such behavioral problems, including dysfunctional attitudes, drug use and abuse, criminal orientation, and dysfunctional internal working mechanisms of self and others (Andersson & Eisemann, 2003), are largely expected to prolong into adolescence and adulthood. But while a lot of studies have been dedicated to evaluat
The period before 1700 was characterised with the use of the canal system for transportation. Boats were used on the canal for transporting grain to armies and capital city. Moreover, they used for transporting rice that had been levied. It is worth noting that agricultural output increased as time went by. Therefore, there was an escalating desire for carrying iron from the furnaces which were developing. Majority of the canals were merely man- made links which connected rivers or upgraded river channels. The Grand Canal can be said to be the first improvement on the canal system. It was built in a manner that it had to be supplied with a separate water supply. Majority of the canals had been constructed using terrains which were fairly flat. Moreover, the changes in water levels experienced were minimal. When there were no changes in water levels, boats had to be moved to another level by being hauled over double slipways. Windlasses and ropes had to be used to haul the boats (Pacey, 67). One of the disadvantages with using canals for transportation was that the boats were easily damaged while on the double slipways. Moreover, the cargoes had a high risk of theft. The government transport was highly disturbed by these losses. Consequently, a commissioner suggested five double slipways on Huai River, which would be replaced using double lock gate sets. Improvements were also made to ensure that floating the boats to the river from the canal was easy. This would be achieved by ensuring a short canal length in the gates. This would make varying the water possible, so that it matched the downstream or upstream easy (Smil, 90). The pound locks used for the doors were less efficient compared to the improved chamber lock. An Architectural Structure The Chinese Buddhists had a keen interest in repairing, as well as building bridges. Consequently, this became a pious duty. This was more common on the overland routes which were used to India. The mountainous regions had precarious footbridges which were constructed with the use of ropes on gorges. This was the case in western China and Kashmir (Smil,92). It is worth noting that a printed book was a technology that came up with Buddhism. A monk even said that Indian laymen and priests had a habit of impressi
Introduction Employee relationships are often discussed by professionals because they have a great influence on the way a company operates and reaches their goals. In positive and supportive relationships, workers tend to be motivated to reach their potential. However, the same outcomes are never observed in those organizations where diverse workforce fails to have appropriate relationships. Some employers believe that workplace romances prevent their employees from being focused on their duties. Even more adverse effects can be observed because of sexual harassment, as it does not involve mutual attraction, but it is based on unreciprocated advances (Mainiero & Jones, 2013). If such cases are overlooked, employee performance worsens, and they become less motivated to reach organizational goals (McLaughlin, Uggen, & Blackstone, 2012). To improve this situation, company leaders are to implement those changes and initiatives that prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. In this way, they can ensure diversity, encourage gender equality, and develop a positive working environment. Background Sexual harassment is a critical issue that can be observed in a diverse workplace when employees of both genders need to cooperate in order to perform their duties. In the majority of cases, this type of gender discrimination targets females. It can involve physical abuse but can also deal with the use of social media and text messages (Nielsen & Einarsen, 2012). Even though it is not a direct representation of sexual harassment, this aspect of the issue cannot be ignored because employees have access to social media not only at home but also in the workplace. Even though the management does not have an opportunity to control the presence of the whole personnel on social media, it can develop associated policies that are to be followed in the office. Without them, the whole company is likely to observe adverse influences of sexual harassment. A victim will be affected emotionally: she will lose her self-esteem, which will influence the way she communicates with clients and coworkers. As a result, she will have a poor appetite, suffer from headaches, and have sleep disturbances. Facing such issues, this person will become likely to look for another job. In this way, sexual harassment will also cause low productivity and morale in the organization. Employee turnover will increase as well as associated expenses. Recommendations First of all, a company should develop its sexual harassment policy and ensure that all professionals have an opportunity to access it. This information can be provided in a handbook or/and placed in the break room for it to be regularly observed (Letke, 2014). This policy statement should include the following information:   * Company’s attitude towards discrimination and harassment as well as their definitions;   * Employee’s rights and obligations;   * Explanation of the violation of the policy;   * Description of unacceptable behavior;   * Outline of the way complaints a
Down syndrome Down syndrome is one of the neurodevelopmental disorders, and it emerges after a genetic disorder occurs during the division of chromosomes. The genetic material in the chromosome 21 is responsible for the development of the disorder, and its symptoms appear at the infantry stage of development. Children with Down syndrome experience slower physical development. The children also struggle with learning, and the disorder may also lead to their development of complicated health issues. Some of the common symptoms of the disorder include having abnormal facial features like smaller ears with unique shapes. The victims may portray various health problems depending on the affected parts of their bodies (Chapman & Hesketh, 2000). For instance, some children with the disorder develop heart-related complications when their hearts fail to develop properly. Other children may portray hormone-related illnesses, especially when the thyroid gland fails to develop normally. Down syndrome tops the list of the most common genetic chromosomal illnesses, and it causes learning problems for many children (Silverman, 2007). Behavioral criteria The behavioral criteria of the victims of Down syndrome depend on the severity of the disorder. The disorder ranges from mild severity to moderate severity. Down syndrome causes serious health problems, especially when the vital organs in the body do not develop as required. Victims with mil
