Russia may be looking forward to the situation in the Caspian AOR to ‘do a Afghanistan on US’ and regain its primacy in the Caspian Sea region. Thus despite inclusion of Russian forces in the MNF, a Russian ‘Double Game’ is very much possible. However, Russian involvement is a must to limit its option of playing the adversary.   * The Azeri government has a hard time convincing its Muslim population of the need for US presence in their country for enforcing the PEO mission in N-K. Our operational plans must cater for Azeri sensitivities.   * Armenia is itching to break the ceasefire deal and would like to capitalize on any opportunity to enter the N-K region and thus needs to be kept under check.   * The Free Karabakh Movement aims to establish freedom for N-K and thus needs to be kept under control.   * Georgia is a key but reluctant ally whose ports (Poti & Batumi) are crucial for our build up and logistics. Actions taken by own forces in support of the mission must not endanger US-Georgia ties. Analysis of INT SUM 010700   * Increased interest of local and religious leaders in US troop mov
A physical assessment is the first stage of examination and evaluation of a patient that is conducted by a physician. It is critical to obtain the patient’s medical history and complaints in order to establish details about physical factors such as location, duration, and severity of pain or discomfort. Various conditions may present themselves differently based on patient physiology. The first technique is to conduct a visual inspection. It allows to identify any possible abnormalities from a simple observation. Respiratory rate and pulsating neck veins show whether there is cardiovascular pressure. Breathing should be stable since any wheezing or uneven respiratory movement creates motion of the chest muscles that may cause pain. The pulsating movement of the abdomen may reflect possible a possible aortic aneurysm. Furthermore, a physician can choose to use palpation and percussion to determine areas of discomfort on a patient physically. These techniques allow to determine areas of tenderness, assess ventilation, and centralize any point or movement which may indicate chest pain. Vital signs serve as an indicator of chest pain during a physical assessment. Auscultation is the final step of the chest examination. Heart rate allows to evaluate the condition of the cardiovascular system. For example, elevated or uneven heart rate is an indicator of atrial fibrillation or aortic dissection, both of which are associated with chest pain. Blood pressure can be used to establish whether a patient is experiencing any discomfort (Zafari, 2017). These indicators are usually reflective of visible physical symptoms. A physical assessment is critical to the management of patients presenting symptoms of chest discomfort. It can be critical to identify high-risk factors for conditions such as myocardial infarction and reduce mortality rates. In other cases, it is helpful towards establishing an accurate diagnosis which leads to the implementation of competent treatment. Physical examinations can be tremendously effective as a diagnostic tool (Al-Maqbali, 2013). Therefore, the techniques and symptoms described above allow a medical professional to carefully evaluate all aspects of the normal functioning of the chest and the cardiovascular muscle which can help to rule out
Greek mythology gave birth to the idea of the tragic hero, in which the concepts of the hero play a tremendous role. Aristotelian thought indicates “the tragic effect will be stronger if the hero is ‘better than we are’, in that he is of higher than ordinary moral worth. Such a man is shown as suffering a change in fortune from happiness to misery because of a mistaken act, to which he is led by his hamartia (his ‘effort of judgment’) or, as it is often literally translated, his tragic flaw” (Zarro, 2001). There are two types of tragic heroes, those that are born into nobility with a tragic flaw inherent in their character who are therefore responsible for their own fate and doomed to make a serious error in judgment and those who have achieved great heights or esteem through hard work who eventually realize they have made a huge mistake causing them to face and accept their tragic death with honor (Zarro, 2001). Greek tragedy abounds with examples of tragic heroes, as does much of Shakespearean tragedy. “Shakespeare wished to exhibit a more sublime picture – an ambitious but noble hero, yielding to a deep-laid hellish temptation, and in whom all the crimes to which, in order to secure the fruits of his first crime, he is impelled by necessity, cannot altogether eradicate the stamp of native heroism” (Bates, 1906: 36). In many ways, it can be argued that Macbeth of Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, was a tragic hero. As the play opens, Macbeth’s nobility of spirit is revealed as reports come in to King Duncan regarding his exploits on the battlefield. The first two acts don’t even see Macbeth as he is busy on the battlefield, attempting to defend Duncan’s kingdom from the forces of Macdonwald, a man from the ‘Western Isles.’ Macbeth’s loyalty is shown in the fierceness of the battle being fought as it is reported by the wounded captain in Act I, Scene ii. He tells the king the battle was “As two spent swimmers that do cling together / And choke their art” (I, ii, 8-9), indicating that the two sides were equally matched and Fortune was favoring Macdonwald. “But all’s too weak / For brave Macbeth (well he deserves that name) / Disdaining Fortun
Robert Frost is one of the most celebrated American poets of the early 20th century. The themes of his works address the life and nature of New England. His works are powerful and memorable due to the skillful use of various literary devices. This essay shall explore literary devices Robert Frost uses in his poetry.. In four poems under consideration, “ The Road Not Taken ,” “ Fire and Ice ,” “ The Lockless Door, ” and “ After Apple-Picking ,” the author makes use of four literary devices, such as form, symbolism, imagery, and allusions. These devices help the author focusing on particular themes and ideas addressed in the texts of the poems. Literary Elements in “The Road Not Taken” The first poem under consideration is “The Road Not Taken,” published in 1916. It is one of the most famous and analyzed works by the author. The leading theme of the poem is the non-conformist ideas of the author, the problem of life choice, and the dilemma in making the right decision. Thus, to present his views, Frost makes use of several stylistic devices, such as hyperbole, consonance, alliteration, antithesis, metaphors, images, and allusions. Moreover, the author uses figurative language in order to enrich the meaning of his poem. One of the most significant elements is the form in which the poem is organized. Thus, the poem has four stanzas, and e
Introduction There is the need to pay special attention to women when addressing social security because of their higher life expectancy which means they will rely longer on social security. Women in their old age are twice likely as old men to be living in poverty (Aaron, Shoven & Friedman, 1999, p. 4). The need to look at social security along gender lines is because of the existing employment disparities between men and women. When a woman becomes widowed fifty percent of their income is lost making them poor. According to Tanner of Cato Institute (2004, p. 133), women work fewer years compared to men and also earn less than men, translating to low social security benefits. Privatization will only benefit women if there are higher return rates for them. This can be done by investing in capital markets. Unmarried women are more vulnerable to negative effects (Feldstein, 1999, pp. 101). Women are more dependent on the state due to factors like divorce and widowhood, in addition to health problems. The marital status of women is linked to poverty in old age. Sixty percent of older women are single in old age compared to men who are at twenty-six percent. There are two frames of privatization the first is the General accounting/ General eq
Introduction This case study analysis paper explores the case of Asher – a school student in his middle adolescence. The student displays some signs of learning disorders and probably suffers from peer rejection and insecure parent-child attachment. This essay aims to use the biopsychosocial model and look at the areas of concern in Asher’s case through the prism of major developmental and learning theories by Bronfenbrenner and Erikson to offer relevant evidence-based teaching strategies. Evidence of Concern Firstly, Asher’s classroom behaviors, including the inability to copy text without mistakes, difficulty engaging in classroom activities, and evident handwriting difficulties, can be understood as warning signs of learning disorders affecting reading and writing skills, such as dyslexia. Secondly, Asher displays worrying physical symptoms, such as tiredness for an unknown reason, which can be caused by sleep deprivation related to age-related hormonal changes, underlying medical conditions, and stress. Thirdly, interpersonal relationships play a critical role in healthy development, but Asher seems to suffer from peer rejection since his classmates usually shrink away from interacting with him. His attempts to run away from a home hint at the lack of secure and trust-based family relationships. Factors Affecting Asher’s Development and Learning Biological Factors Asher’s learning issues may be linked to a variety of factors related to physical health and development. Human learning depends on the degree to which cognitive skills are developed (Makany et al., 2009). Dyslexia, the suspected learning disorder, stems from deficits in the orthographic-visual analysis stage, the exact physiological cause of which is yet to be studied, or it can be related to eyesight problems, difficulties when memorizing the sequences of letters, and even undetected traumatic brain injuries (Friedmann & Coltheart, 2018). During classes, Asher rubs his eyes, which can be indicative of vision impairments or severe discomfort when trying to perceive and memorize entire phrases and the correct spelling of each word. Considering the possibility of visual perception issues, Asher’s large handwriting could be an attempt to write something that he could read without extra visual effort. The learning disorder that Asher probably has is linked with the peculiarities of brain development. The link between hand prefere
Introduction Uncertainty reduction theory is based on the tradition that strangers need to minimize the level of doubt in their early relations. The theory is based on the concept that people find it difficult to communicate due to uncertainty of the other person’s reaction. However, this insecurity can be reduced through interpersonal communication where relations created motivate people to engage in conversations. Researchers link uncertainty reduction to a number of interpersonal communication strategies such as verbal and non-verbal interactions, similarity of a kind, information search, and self-disclosure (Ting-Toomey, 2012). To cut doubt amongst individuals, persons pursue passive, active, as well as interactive schemes (Gamble & Gamble, 2013). A passive scheme does not engage an individual directly but aims at having a clear view of the stranger in the surrounding. An interpersonal study denotes the consideration given to the relations between persons in love, business associates, or social commitments. People meet in different settings while on daily activities; this gathers individuals from diverse social backgrounds who may find it hard to express themselves at the first instance. This paper discusses the central idea of uncertainty reduction theory with regard to strangers from different ethnic backgrounds. Interpersonal Communication in Cultural Differences The uncertainty reduction concept tries to increase an individual’s confidence and develop more interactive relationships. In most cases, people from dissimilar cultures find it hard to communicate and express personal ideas in a convincing manner. Concerning the matter, many may opt to communicate using signs due to the urgency of the message. This is resulted by language barriers caused by differences in race, sex, education levels, as well as social status. Self-disclosure in cultural issues is a strategy aimed at building confidence to reduce uncertainty in communication (Hogg, Kruglanski, & Bos, 2013). Cultural differences bring about the aspect of strangeness in that individuals avoid others. A stranger is someone who is perceived as being physically near but conceptually very far. In that case, the stranger holds personal membership not shared by others in the locality. This understanding acknowledges that anyone can be a potential stranger and hence interpersonal processes must be initiated to reduce uncertainty (Wood, 2012). Ethnic differential is a primary cause of this uncertainty when people meet in strange situations. This can be in the workplace, in social settings, or during cross-cu
Definition and Importance of Diversity Consciousness Diversity consciousness refers to being aware and respecting the differences that exist among people of varying backgrounds. It is not limited only to race, skin, color, gender, social class, sexuality, age, mental capability or intellect. Diversity at the workplace is viewed by most organizations as an important tool for dealing with the ever increasing competition and is essential for promoting creativity as well as productivity. It is no longer a new idea but rather a well known concept in the corporate world (Thiederman, 2008). Diversity consciousness helps to bring together ideas from different cultures across the world as well as new attitudes and perspectives that can make an organization to be more competitive (Gröschl, 2011). It also makes people open to new ideas and willing to learn. Diversity consciousness also helps to create a less biased work environment where employees are treated equally. According to Shakhray (2009), diversity at the workplace makes it possible for an organization to leverage the strengths of different individuals for the benefit of the organization. Barriers to Success A barrier may be defined as an obstacle or impediment that hinders progression. Despite the fact that diversity has widely been accepted, a number of barriers exist that may hinder its development. One of the greatest hindrances is Language. Without a common language that is acceptable and understood by all, communication becomes a challenge and getting people to work in a team setup can be a real headache for managers. Resistance to change from dominant groups within an organization also acts as a barrier and interferes with success that accompanies effective application of the concept of diversity at the workplace. Naturally, human beings are afraid of accepting something that will affect their lives in one way or another. Assimilation has also been noted as a barrier to the success of diversity of diversity at the workplace. According to (D’Almeida, 2007), assimilation implies the ability to accommodate new ideas and make them part the cognitive structure. Overcoming Diversity Barriers As noted by Thiederman (2008), diversity does not just happen. It takes strong leadership to ensure that diversity works in any organization. Apparently, managing diversity effectively implies hiring employees from different backgrounds, working with vendors from a varied background, and showing respect to all. As a starting point, it is imperative for organizations to have a clear plan of how is to incorporate diversity within its culture. In the United States, diversity at the workplace has been addressed from different quarters and especially educational institutions. By training its workforce on the importance of a diverse workforce, the United States has consistently ensured that
To begin with, it is a universal truth that even the most righteous people sometimes suffer. Righteousness does not mean complete sinlessness but an upstanding life in the sight of God. The job was a wealthy and wise man who lost everything he had at one moment: his fortune was gone, he caught a skin disease, and his children were killed. Job’s friends tell him that sins caused his sufferings; yet, he refuses to accept it and claims that God still cares for him. For a moment, it seems like Job rejects the existence of God: “If I have sinned, what have I done to you; you who see everything we do?” ( New International Version 7:20). Regardless of how his mates tried to undermine his faith, Job remained unwavering about it. Job asked God multiple times why it all happened to him: “Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me?” ( New International Version 10:8). As a consequence, Job still believes in the mightiness of God; yet, he keeps questioning why innocent people are subject to suffering even though they have never been sinful. In Wiesel’s Night , the main character is Elie, whose religious views were transformed as he grew up. The young Jew’s faith was firm and unshakeable due to his spiritual upbringing. He claims that God surrounds people wherever they live and considers each event or phenomenon to be of His creation. However, once he was admitted to the concentration camp, he began struggling with preserving his faith. It happened because Elie could not believe God could ever allow such atrocities to take place. He even stated that “I’ve got more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He’s the only one who’s kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people” (Wiesel 50). In general, both Job and Elie’s stories prove tha
Childhood obesity has become an important health and social problem in the 21 st century. Today, there are many children experiencing obesity-related complications, than ever before in the history of mankind (Kopelman, 2005, p. 493). In America for example, it is estimated that, the prevalence of childhood obesity has tripled over the past two decades, with recent statistics showing the prevalence rate of childhood obesity at 28% (Neighmond, 2000, p. 1). This statistic is very high, as compared to previous years. More so, this trend has been brought by a change in lifestyle. Due to the adverse health effects of childhood obesity on a child’s health, this study focuses on the topic “childhood obesity” because of its expansiveness and its impact on childhood health. Moreover, there has been a constant increase in prevalence of childhood obesity in the country and experts all over, are registering their concerns over this trend as well. Refinement and Limits of the Topic of Discussion The topic of childhood obesity is very expansive and is often, marred by a lot of controversy regarding the extent to which it affects childhood growth and development (Ebbeling, 2002, p. 473). This study focuses on childhood obesity as a unique health factor in childhood development and seeks to exclude other factors associated with the pandemic, such as obesity statistics, causes, health implications and such like factors. More importantly, this study focuses on childhood obesity as a unique segment in health circles and fails to include other factors relating to obesity in general, or factors associated with adult obesity. To properly refine the research data to be included in this study, I will only focus on determining the extent to which childhood obesity affects childhood wellbeing. Since this topic is particular to childhood health, this study will only focus on the physiological and psychological factors regarding the wellbeing of a child, which are affected by childhood obesity. This aspect of childhood obesity is the specific claim to be argued in this topic. This fact is further explained below. Topic Argument There are numerous studies and literature excerpts which have asserted that, childhood obesity has a profound effect on a child’s health and psychology. Specifically, emotional impairment and psychological difficulties have been cited as the primary health effects of childhood obesity. Other studies focus on health-related complications, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cardia
