Introduction Analytical chemistry techniques include, but are not limited to, the study of the spectroscopic properties of materials in light of added loading, whether it be electromagnetic radiation, directed light or performing a chemical reaction whose purpose is to facilitate observation of the elementary structure of matter. Atomic absorption spectroscopy, AAS, is one such method of investigation that allows the qualitative identification of most of the chemical elements of the Periodic Table using the atomic absorption spectra of the combustion products of the parent substance. It should be clarified that the atomic absorption method of investigation is based on the absorption of radiation by unbound atoms, and therefore, since free atoms and multi-atomic particles give unique lines in the spectrum, the most important prerequisite of AAS is the conversion of the substance to atomic pair. The translation of the substance from the atomic to the first excited ionic state is realized through the use of an open flame in the atomizer: accordingly, the more concentrated the solution was initially used, the more light energy will be absorbed. At the same time, there are a number of external factors that make it possible to control the intensity of this transition. This thought was the basis of this laboratory work, the purpose of which was to study the chemical and physical interferences for Calcium atomization and some of the techniques for overcoming them. Figure 1. Schematic Construction of an Atomic Absorption Spectrometer Results and Discussion The study’s key results were to obtain spectroscopic characteristics for nine working calcium solutions, a mixture of calcium and ammonium sulfate, and this mixture with the addition of EDTA solution. Each of the samples was excited with an air-acetylene burner, and the products of chemical combustion were recorded with an analytical signal through exposure to radiation. The outputs for the working solutions are shown in Table 1. Table 1. Interference Solutions for Calcium, Calcium-Sulfate Mixture, and Calcium-Sulfate-EDTA Mixture Data. Signal     Average   Ca         Sample #1  0.1335  0.1416 Sample #2  0.1331    Sample #3  0.1581               Sample #1  0.1288  0.1275 Sample #2  0.1310    Sample #3  0.1227               Sample #1  0.1573  0.1609 Sample #2  0.1600    Sample #3  0.1654     Based on this table, it is possible to conclude a specific pattern. In particular, it is easy to see the tendency for the occurrence of noise and interference in the signal registration when additional impurities are added to the solution. Thus, the addition of ammonium sulfate decreases the average absorbance, while further addition from EDTA solution increases the average relative to the original one. In addition, the analytical signal was measured for two series of calcium solutions and a mixture of calcium and potassium chloride depending on the amount of added substance, but acetylene and nitrous oxide (I) flame were used for these measurements. It is known that this burner can provide a much higher temperature due to the thermodynami
There is a lively, lifelong debate concerning the essence of professionalism. Some people believe that it is a set of skills and knowledge developing with age and fruitfully completed tasks, while others are confident that it is a combination of personal traits, maturity, behaviors, and appropriate appearance. Those belonging to these opposing groups would view wearing a t-shirt to an interview from different perspectives, as those supporting the first standpoint would believe that looks do not affect professionalism, while the believers in the second approach would ardently dispute this viewpoint. This essay will make an attempt to speculate on various dimensions and draw lines connecting them. First and foremost, professionalism refers to competence. It is inseparable from obtaining a particular volume of knowledge, developing a specific set of skills critical for coping with job duties, and constantly improving performance. In this view, the perception of professionalism differs across industries, as a valuable talent in one sector would be meaningless in another. For instance, being proficient in accounting would be inappropriate in mining, just as the ability to run an assembly line does not line up with surgical practice. At the same time, professionalism is connected to effective communication skills, whether verbal, non-verbal, or written. In addition, professionalism can be viewed as behavior. In this case, it refers not only to decency and managing to cope with job duties regardless of emotions but also acting ethically. True professionals are always dedicated, respectful, and able to separate personal matters from work-related ones, thus avoiding interrelation and collision of the two. This behavior is common both inside and outside the workplace environment, as true professionals always know how to address work-related issues outside office hours. For example, if a doctor sees an individual losing consciousness at the subway station, helping this person instead of ignoring the problem would point to professionalism expected of a doctor. The same would be true if a policeman were to stop a criminal outside of working hours. Moreover, a true professional addresses each situation while following laws, regulations, and predetermined job duties. Finally, professionalism is a set of personal traits. Of course, it is inseparable from competence and ethical behavior. However, there are some character traits that determine an individual’s predisposition to growing highly professional. For instance, self-management, responsibility, punctuality, and dependability are valuable d
Ending (Novel) The ending of the novel “Midaq Alley” can be considered one of the most memorable yet also one of the most tragic endings in written literature. We see the character, Abbas, dying as a direct result of the lies of Hamida who had sought to further her ambitions at the cost of someone who truly loved her. Based on my perspective on the novel’s ending, I would have to say that it is symbolic of a common theme of romance at present involving the desire of someone to be loved despite the fact they are confusing love with lust. When examining the character of Abbas within the novel, we can see that this is a man that desires to be with someone (i.e., Hamida) yet knows little about her. He has created his self-delusion wherein he equates the Hamida’s beauty with her having an equally beautiful personality, however, as the novel shows this is far from what is true. This lack of knowledge regarding Hamida’s true personality and wanting her for marriage is evidence of a person that is confusing love with lust with most relationships such as these ending in tragedy. It is also often the case that a friend would try to clarify things to dissuade a person that is in lust, this takes the form of Radwan Hussainy who attempted to dissuade Abbas from his feelings for Hamida. However, just as art imitates life a similar scene to what occurs, in reality, can be observed wherein Abbas ignores the advice of Radwan Hussainy and continues to feel strongly for Hamida which inevitably leads to his death. For me, Midaq Alley can be considered an early form of social commentary yet delves into the lives of ordinary citizens. That is why I believe that the theme of lust versus love is an inherent aspect of the novel’s ending since it is an aspect that is found in many societies at present. When examining the ending of the novel once more, it seems to me that it may be something that the author himself experienced at some point in his life. Not necessarily the part where Abbas dies (though this could also be symbolic of the death of the author’s own love life) but in part involving Ham
Discussion of the ethical dilemma case A brief description of the case: Academic Dishonesty Simon is a high school counselor. Ginger, one of the students in the school, comes to him for assistance. The student tells Simon that she collaborated with other students to cheat on the final chemistry exams. However, Ginger requests Simon not to report her to the school’s authorities and maintain confidentiality. Her reason for asking Simon to remain, mum, is because she had been failing previous chemistry exams, but she had to pass the current exam in a bid to graduate from high school. Simon decides to remain silent. In this paper, I discuss Ginger’s case, accompanied by an appraisal of my moral and ethical framework. Discussions When clients seek therapists’ assistance, they often get into an individual relationship with the therapists. In the process, they discuss specific issues that may demand confidentiality, as in the case of Simon and Ginger. Therapists are compelled to remain mum on matters that the client considers confidential (Knapp & VandeCreek, 2003). This oath of secrecy seeks to enhance the clients’ trust towards the therapists/counselors and reveal everything that torments them, as well as ease the delivery of other therapists’ services. Therapists should let their clients feel that they have the liberty to share everything without the fear that their testimonies will be shared with another individual outside the room. However, the duties of a therapist are not constrained to his or her client. Therapists have an onus to protect their clients, agency, profession, as well as members of the community. In essence, a therapist’s decision concerning a single problem may affect the community as a whole. Ethical dilemmas involving privacy evolve when there is a variance of responsibilities. Therefore, therapists should adhere to the ethical principles and policies of their professional institution before making wise discretion that does not surpass the strictures of their practice. Moreover, therapists ought to refer to certain specific ethical issues, build individual professional ethics, and base their thoughts on particular overt state laws to make a profound judgment (Fisher, 2009). If a client discloses something that a therapist may consider insidious to society, he or she is expected to react in a way that will protect society as a whole. The therapist may react by reporting the case to the police and/or cautioning potential victims. If the therapist fails to report atrocious confession, then he or she is considered liable for subsequent negative impact. However, in the case of school authorities, there should be rules and regulations that define the limits of confidentiality and give a counselor the consent to breach the oath of secrecy (Corey, Corey & Callanan, 2011). Similarly, in the case of Ginger and Simon, the latter must respond to
In the health care sector, professionals have to adhere to a given set of codes of ethics when discharging their duties. In healthcare, professionals include nurses, physicians, and allied health professionals. The different professionals have a distinct code of ethics that are observed. In this essay we are going to compare and contrast codes of ethics of a nurse and an emergency physician. Also, the essay will propose how to handle overwhelming responsibilities at times of crisis without breaking the codes of ethics. A nurse should uphold the following codes of ethics whenever he/she is employed to handle patients. Nurses should serve patients without considering their economic status, type of diseases patients suffer from, or personal influence of a patient. Human dignity must be respected and used as the guiding principle in offering treatment. Secondly, it is fundamental that nurses adhere to making patients’ information a secret affair. A nurse is expected to take appropriate measures based on his/her own medical action concerning a patient’s condition while at the same time withhold service competence. It is also expected that nurses contribute to professional improvement of nursing services. Nurses should join hands with other stakeholders in fulfilling public health expectations. On the other hand, an emergency physician apart from the general healthcare ethics has to respond promptly to emergency healthcare needs. An emergency physician has to make choice for a patient who may be incapacitated to make any meaningful decision. Otherwise, the ethics observed by an emergency physician remain the same as those of a nurse. An example to this effect is that both are required to uphold professionalism in curbing healthcare issues. In addition, both take actions that promote the well being of the public at community and national levels. Both nurses and emergency physicians take part in professional development of their fields of services in a bid to make healthcare services superior. An example where the code of ethics in medical practice has been violated is the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. The African Americans were involved in a study to discover the effects of untreated syphilis without their consent. All the health practitioners kept the secret from the victims till they died. The victims were purely African Americans and this shows they were racially abused as a minority group in America. This case represents one of the most talked about unethical issues in healthcare sector, (Blumenthal and DiClemente, 2004). The Haiti Quake disaster is another instance that can be used to monitor how nurses and emergency physicians upheld their ethical codes. The number of victims overwhelmed healthcare provision due to limited facilities and medical supplies. “Since the disaster cut power, electricity and other utilities, people are without clean drinking water and at greater risk of malnutrition and disease,” [Bost
Nursing has always been closely correlated with the idea of defining the pillars of professional practice to follow the instructions and secure a positive outcome. Thus, the sphere of professional nursing is characterized by various standards of development, encompassing both education and empirical performance (Harper & Bindon, 2020). The notion of professional development standards was created with the intention to assist nurses in terms of education and competency enhancement. In Florida, nursing practice is determined by the Florida Nurse Practice Act, according to which nurses should meet the minimum aspects of safe practice and avoid activities that harm the public. Although the naming of the standards tends to be modified over time, some of the major entities involved in the process remain unchanged:   * The process of assessment – the first stage is aimed at the identification of potential gaps in terms of professional competence;   * The process of learning needs outlining – after the assessment, it is important to dwell on the basic learning objectives that need to be covered in terms of standards development;   * The process of outcomes estimation – since every standard in nursing is aimed at securing successful practice, it is vital to estimate the tangible outcomes of the professional learning;   * Planning – the following stage concerns a detailed outline of the actions that need to be performed in the context of the competence development;   * Implementation – in terms of this entity, nurses are to ensure professional collaboration and application of knowledge to reach a set standard;   * Evaluation – the last aspect deals with the assessment of the standard application to either ensure its relevance or identify its inappropriateness (Harper & Bindon, 2020). Hence, considering the aforementioned process of practice standard evaluation, it may be concluded that standards play a significant role in professional nursing practice, as they contribute to the overall development and enhance the practice efficiency. Moreover, when following a set standard, the nurse is able to conduct a full-scale evaluation of their performance. When speaking of the specific areas of nursing, the development of standards assists the practitioners during the process of becoming familiarized with the necessary equipment and information technology. Addressing such a spec
‘I believe that fashion (where all the girls have clear skins, blue eyes, blond blow-waved ha and a size ten figure and where all the man have clear skins, moustaches, short blow-waved hair and masculine physique and appearance) STINKS’ – Leigh Bowery (Tilley 1997, p. 97). Everything was surprising and unsurprising at the same time in the Still Undead exhibition at Nottingham Contemporary. Traveling from one piece of art to another, one could not ignore both the colour and the darkness of some of the exhibits as well as their startling and transparently allegorical features. When stumbling upon the set of photographs made by Robyn Beeche, it was impossible to mistake the subjects of the images for none other than Leigh Bowery. The three photos are located in a row as if telling a story; however, despite having a connection, there really is no rhyme or reason to what Bowery and his performing partner, Fat Gill, were trying to convey. Thus, the current exploration will focus on discussion art for the purpose of art as a philosophy that challenges social conventions, promotes openness to ideas, and encourages its viewers to have some fun (Gompertz 2019). Figure 1. Leigh Bowery (right) and Fat Gill as Miss Fuckit, swimwear, Alternative Miss World 1985 Earth, photographed by Robyn Beeche (Self-generated). The series of photos is located in a dimly-lit section of the exhibition, with its overall tone being a bit worrying and pressuring at a first expression. The emphasis on the experimentation of colours, textures, and materials presented in the images on Beeche’s photographs, on the other hand, strikes viewers with their carelessness despite the immaculate posing of the subjects. Bowery, wearing intricately adorned outfits, is posing next to his collaborator, wearing only makeup and nothing else. The juxtaposition of the characters creates a contrast that is nothing like the rest of the art pieces seen at the gallery. The silly star-eyed makeup of the nude model is juxtaposed to the harsh lines of Bowery’s outfit and his mask-like face art. For some, the subject matter of the images may seem as taboo; however, everything that Bowery had done for art was a commentary on mundane life and a joke about appearance (Healy 2014). The photos encourage people to look at the positive side of life and to stop condemning others on how they look or act. There is also a narrative of body positivity that is only becoming popular today – the heroes of Robyn Beeche laugh at themselves and laugh at the society for being so uptight and conventional. Because of this, Bowery manipulates his clothing in the series of photos to change his appearance but remain recognisable among the uniformity and blandness (Sharkey 1987). The Bauhaus club culture radiates from the set of photographs as the fashion illustrated in them was not created to be worn outside or even seen in t
Introduction `Cognitive development refers to the growth in mental understanding, interpretation and perception of things and the world in general. It entails the growth of various intellectual activities including thinking, reasoning and attentiveness. It is noted that, many approaches on cognitive advancement concentrate on mental development, as opposed to, other cognitive development processes. Cognitive development Competence assessment is one of the approaches given to cognitive development of middle childhood. Competence assessment entails how people understand and interpret different aspects of life (Elliot & Dweck, 2005). It is noted that, children at middle age can always make a judgment on their social and physical competence. This is indicated by a fellow who at his middle age could compare his strength with his other friend and determine the strongest. Considering the fact that perception changes with age increase, middle aged also have their different perceptions of life. Their perception is mostly influenced by the knowledge and skills they obtain in schools. Perception of these middle aged vary from one individual to another as noted by teacher’s evaluation of their performances. This was experienced by a student who was perceived to have known everything by his other fellows since he was excellent at class work. Perception is reflected on the student results with respect to teacher’s ratings. Middle aged children also tend to concentrate on one object and forget the others. Their attentions are easily influenced and they fully concentrate on entertaining object or event while ignoring others. Psychosocial development Psychosocial progression at middle childhood engages children ranging from five to twelve years. At this age, children develop admirable peer interactions and compete favorably among themselves. Their social world expands as they develop new friend and creating new relationships. An indication of pride is noted as they brag about their achievements and ability to perform different tasks uniquely (Cherry, 2010). For example, a fellow at his childhood believed that he was always right since he was brilliant at class work. A child develops a high self esteem after discovering his unique ability and skills. This can be observed in the manner they interact in their social life i.e. cheerful interaction with tremendous psychosocial engagement. On the other hand, children who doubt their aptitude tend to develop low self esteem characterized by gloomy mood and a discouraging psychosocial engagement. At middle childhood, children are extensively influenced by comments and opinions made by their parents, peers and teachers. The comments directly manipulate a child’s confidence and certainty of his/her ability or skill. Encouraging remarks on children build confidence on a child’s ability and skills consequently improving their self esteem (Cherry, 2010). On the contrary, negative and discouraging comments by teachers, peers and parents create doubt in a child’s ability or belief of being victorious. Such a child develops low self esteem and constantly maintaining a gloomy mood. This was noted to a fellow
