The contest overview Being one of the major events at the University of West Georgia nursing calendar, the American Idol Nursing Theory Contest was held this year with a view to come up with the best theorist based on the criteria set by the institution judges. This year’s competition attracted three judges who will be describing and selecting the best nursing theorist. The judges include Dr. Carol Wilson, Dr. O’Brian N., and Dr. Williamson. The three theories that will be examined by the judges comprise of Madeleine Leininger’s culture care theory, Hildegard Peplau’s theory of interpersonal relations, and Dorothea Orem’s nursing theory of self-care deficit. The theories will be judged based on the criteria of their simplicity, clari,ty and clinical practice. The judges will be providing a brief overview of the theories including their conceptual framework, how the theories relate to the nursing practice, their philosophical background, their usefulness, and relevant assumptions. Each of the criteria has an individual range of scores in which they will be rated and the overall scores will be used to award the winning theory. Finally, the judges will explain the rationale of the final winner. The judges This year’s contest has three judges, Dr. Carol Wilson, Dr. O’Brian N. and Dr. Williamson. Dr. Carol Wilson is a nursing professor at the University of West Georgia and has been lecturing nursing theory for over ten years. Similarly, Dr. O’Brian has experience in teaching and practicing nursing for over 15 years. At the University of West Georgia, Dr. O’Brian has been teaching nursing practice for over ten years. Dr. Williamson also has 25 years of experience in teaching nursing theory and application at the university. In addition, Dr. Williamson has over the years been a judge in the American Idol Nursing Theory Contest. Theories and theorists As indicated before, the contestant in this year’s competition are Madeleine Leininger, Hildegard Peplau and Dorothea Orem. Madeleine Leininger culture care theory or trans-cultural nursing care theory is a known theory that has been widely applied in clinical nursing. The theory developed by Hildegard Peplau is known as the interpersonal theory while that developed by Dorothea Orem is called the self-care nursing theory. These theories will be judged according to the criteria of their applicability and usefulness. The winner will then be announced. Madeleine Leininger’s trans-cultural nursing The trans-cultural nursing also known as cultural care theory is applied in both general practice area as well as the specialty category (Basavanthappa, 2007). The Madeleine Leininger’s theory is today being studied as one of the nursing disciplines. According to this theory, the nurses have the task of recognizing the role culture plays in the health of the patient. While cultural background determines the type of care given to the patient as well as the patient’s health, the treatments that the patient get are also being determined by the patient’s culture (Leininger & McFarland, 2006). Moreover, this also theory con
Gantt charts and program evaluation and review technique (PERT) diagram are two methods of visualizing projects’ schedules and relationships between different tasks within those projects. Gantt charts are commonly used as they are easy to compose and read (Rezvani & Ashkanasy, 2020). Furthermore, they focus on the time-based relationships between tasks, representing such relationships in an intuitive manner and facilitates, as well as showing a clear schedule that assigns fixed or flexible dates to a task’s beginning or end and, if necessary (Emes & Cole, 2020). If necessary, the chart can also include completion percentages for each task and the current date, making the current state of the project obvious. However, their linear representation of relationships limits Gantt charts’ use in cases where such relationships are more complex and representing the logical relationships becomes more important, such as situations when multiple tasks can affect one another’s schedule (Emes & Cole, 2020). In these situations, PERT diagrams offer an alternative solution. PERT diagrams are often combined with network diagrams and used to represent a project as a series of logically interconnected tasks and the time required or estimated to complete each task. This approach is more useful in situations with complex relationships between tasks, but is less effective at conveying the project’s schedule (Emes & Cole, 2020). Furthermore, the PERT diagram can help one to reschedule tasks and forecast resource requirements (Rezvani & Ashkanasy, 2020) Therefore, the two methods are useful in different scenarios; neither is superior. The primary consideration in the choice of a chart to represent a project plan is whether the schedule or the logical order of tasks is more important to show clearly. If necessary, both methods can be used to complement one another, for instance, to explain the project plan to different specialists or to represent it more comprehensively.
Executive Summary The product to be marketed is a store brand cereal. The segmentation could be based on age, gender, income (the most important) and location. The cereals are consumed by people of all ages, by both men and women but a store brand cereal could be easier to purchase for a mid to low income household, therefore the pricing is a critical factor and the company should follow cost based pricing. It is presumed that the store is a huge chain having its outlets all over the country due to which it would have greater market coverage. The promotion may not be the most difficult part as the cereal products are already well known and consumers do not have to go through 5 stages of brand awareness, a proper shelving in the store is needed and it could generate good sales by being placed next to the market leaders with having price making huge difference among the two. A Store Brand Cereal In case of a store brand cereal, the first thing to identify is who would buy such a cereal when the market is having giants like Kellogg’s? As soon as the answer is discovered it can be presumed that people might not be willing to pay more money for the same quality stuff that although is not a supreme brand but yet can be a perfect substitute. The price is a key factor and hence a store brand cereal can trigger those people who are price conscious or who are regular users of cereals but need to taste something new and different. The major segment can therefore be people who voluntarily form budgets for their spending. The cereal could also be consumed by the kids (depends on the kind of cereal) but the buyers would be the parents. The basis of such segmentation could be age, gender, income and location. The age is a key factor as a cereal consisting of simple cornflakes may be consumable by the weight watchers who want to stay fit, such people may usually be in their 30s or plus, however a cereal like frosties may be consumed by kids and teenagers who like a bit of sugar with the corn. The gender may also be an important factor as usually the women are more weight conscious and so simple cornflakes may be targeting women initially. A cereal consisting of nuts and fruits may interest both men and women to great extent, but perhaps not kids. The income could be the most important of all as the idea to buy a store brand cereal may remain good if it is cheaper than the market’s popular brands. The middle or low class could be m
Introduction Since the invention of the first microprocessor from intel-4004 microprocessor, many changes have occurred in the field of electronics and microprocessors. Microprocessors have continued to decrease in their size and increase in their speed at a very alarming rate, consequently revolutionalizing the way individuals live as well as operate on a day-to-day basis (Kowalewski.S 2010). We are used to the microprocessors that are found in the PCs and most times we neglect the other much smaller powerful and very efficient gadget in this family; the microcontroller. As opposed to the microprocessor which is common in our laptops as well as PCs microcontrollers command a wide usage in most automated devices or electrical. Without the microcontrollers, it would be quite impossible for cell phones, which are in great use today to exist, let alone be used (F 2010). The micro-controller is an essential component that is concerned with the interpretation and processing of data. As a result, it accepts input and processes it to give a particular output. Microcontrollers embedded into appliances, automate actions or operations. This flexibility and portability are attributed to the small size of the component as well as its light nature. It also consumes relatively low power in its performance, further making it a device of choice for most electrical gadgets (Kowalewski.S 2010). The device contains three major parts, which include a processor core, programmable input as well as output peripherals. The processor aids in facilitating the interpretation of data as well as its subsequent processing to yield the expected result. This feature is quite crucial in system development, as it will facilitate the interpretation of data. The programmable ability of the microcontroller is very handy to any system since it is upon this that action automation becomes a reality using a given programming language. The programs control the operations of other devices within the system, it is through the programs that algorithms of operations are set in an effort to determine as well as control how data interpretation and processing takes place. The microcontroller is therefore a very crucial device that largely determines the fulfillment of the objective of the system, provided the right algorithms are set in the programming stage (F 2010). The microcontroller chip also has a memory within it that facilitates the storage of set algorithms as well as programs that guide its operations for the fulfillment of a given objective. The size of the memory differs depending on whether a system is to perform a single task or multiple tasks, for multiple tasks a large memory space is required. One distinguishing feature of the microcontroller is its ability to handle interruptions much the same as a microprocessor in personal c
Booker T. Washington was born in West Virginia and his childhood was hopeless. However, since he managed to get a higher education, Washington became the first president of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, the country’s first institution of higher education for blacks. In his biography Up from Slavery, Booker T. Washington outlined the controversy over how the black problem could be resolved, inviting the black population to focus on economic gains through professional education (Washington, 2013). This, in turn, contributed to a decrease in the level of social tension in the South. Unlike William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, who was born into a free and wealthy family, Washington knew about slavery from his experience, which helped him to make special conclusions. He rightfully believed that thanks to slavery he found the way to a better life. His position was based on the refusal of political struggle and the achievement of goals exclusively by peaceful means, relying on the favor of the whites (Washington, 2013). He thought that the experienced injustices only hardened individualism and thanks to captivity, blacks were better prepared for subsequent progress. One cannot but agree that this was achieved exclusively through education and gradual reforms. I support this philosophy of conformism and adaptation since only the search for mutual understanding between the two races can prevent interracial conflicts. The temporary refusal of the black population from the struggle in exchange for socio-economic opportunities, which was the main idea of Washington’s ideology, became a compromise in the relationship between the two races. Washington saw the main goal of education in the social and cultural teaching of African Americans, thanks to the emphasis on the acquisition of technical skills. As a pragmatist, I agree that only technical training has been able to guarantee a job and better life for black people Reference Washington, B. T. (2013). Up from slavery. Simon and Schuster.
Summarize the purpose and conclusions of this article The purpose being the specific question or set of questions the authors sought to answer. The conclusions being the main points the authors presented based on their results In their article, Ferris et al. (2018) seek to analyze the opinions of the key stakeholders, including patients and healthcare providers, on the people that affect the quality of healthcare services by delivering inappropriate care to vulnerable groups, which in this case are represented by older adults with multiple chronic issues. Furthermore, the modifiable factors that lead to inappropriate care are identified and analyzed in the study. The results of the research point to the fact that inappropriate care is caused by structural factors. The latter, in turn, produce the phenomena of burden and fragmentation, therefore making decision-makers omit important information when determining the strategies for managing the target population’s needs. Therefore, clinician–patient partnerships should be utilized to address the specified issue and prevent further instances of inappropriate care from happening. Explain what new information this article presented or re-enforced for you The article provides a lot of important insights into the nature of care and the factors that lead to its inefficiency. In their study, Ferris et al. (2018) address a range of valid points, including the necessity to avoid medication errors, the need to take patients’ opinions into account, and the overall urgency of establishing a more effective communication framework. However, by far the most important and innovative idea that Ferris et al. (2018) present concerns the methods of improving the coordination of actions within a multidisciplinary group of health experts. The idea of promoting interdisciplinary cooperation has been the focus of attention in the healthcare setting for a while, yet its implementation has been rather flawed due to miscommunication issues. Therefore, the fact that Ferris et al. (2018) introduce a set of seemingly viable solutions to the specified issue seems invigorating since it opens new horizons for further improvements of healthcare services. The specified discovery re-enforced and empowered me to seek new chances for managing the needs of vulnerable groups. Describe 3 ways in which the outcomes of this study will be useful to you in your future practice Apart from discovering a solution to one of the common c
Introduction Contract law refers to agreements between companies and typically includes clauses for recovering damages in case one party fails to uphold its obligations. Alpha Bookstore encountered issues with both its orders, one due to defamation accusations and the other because of unforeseen damage to a warehouse. Regardless of the causes, the bookstore’s plans suffered because it has no ‘Gryffindor Chronicles’ books for a Christmas promotion and no ‘Cabinet Inside Story’ or ‘The Return of 007’ copies to sell. It is evident that both with the ‘Cabinet Story’ and ‘The Gryffindor Chronicles,’ the Alpha Bookstore does not have a legal remedy that would allow them to receive the books within the set deadline. Therefore, the focus of the remedies should be on receiving compensation for the losses that this bookstore will have due to not being able to sell these books. The area of law that this case relates to is contract law, and the bookstore has remedies for the problems with the contract and lost chance. This case study analysis aims to examine the issues Alpha Bookstore manager Carolina encountered and offer legal advice regarding what can be done to resolve the delivery delays. Area of Law Commercial law aims to protect the rights of parties involved in trading. Contract law is an area of commercial law that deals with agreements between parties and each side’s duties (McKendrick, 2018). A typical contract refers to an exchange of goods for money. In the case of Alpha Bookstore, the issue is the exchange of books published by the two companies for an agreed sum. The principles of commercial law and contract law aim to protect the businesses from losses that resist after one of the contract parties fails to deliver the promised goods or services (McKendrick, 2018). The problems that Alpha Bookstore encountered fall under the experience of contract law. Under contract law principles, contract frustration is an event that is unforeseeable and serious enough to threaten the ability of parties to adhere to the agreement (Goode, 2017). There is a difference between frustration and force majeure, the latter is usually an event out of control of one party, for instance, a natural disaster, after which this party is not liable for not delivering its obligations. Examples of frustration cases include Maritime National Fish Ltd. v. Ocean Trawlers Ltd, which shows that frustration automatically ends the contract (Ellis, 2020). The destruction of the subject matter is one factor that results in frustration and the court will have to review the case to determine further obligations of parties in the case of ‘Gryffindor Chronicles.’ One can assume that because Alpha Bookstore expects a specific number of books from both publishers at a set data and has to pay an agreed-upon price, the bookstore and the publishers have reached an agreement. According to Anson (2008, p. 31), a contract is ‘an actionable promise or promises.’ Additionally, there is an expression of common intent and dependence of the parties on others upholding their agreed-upon duties.

Introduction It is impossible to imagine the modern world without the Internet that makes it possible for people to find any necessary information and communicate with individuals from other continents. Now, many tend to believe that these opportunities are characteristic features of the late 20 th -early 21 st century. However, Tom Standage, in his book The Victorian Internet, argues that people of the 19 th century could also benefit from such possibilities. During Queen Victoria’s reign, there was invented the telegraph, a new communication technology that provided its users with similar functions compared to the Internet. Thus, the given book draws attention to the advantages and disadvantages of the telegraph to reveal those of the Internet and explains how modern users should use technologies. Theme Explored A more substantial part of the book is devoted to the history of the telegraph. Standage describes how the prototype of an electric network appeared when monks held iron wires in their hands in 1746 (p. 1). At that time, the technical possibilities of people were significantly limited, and the notion of transmitting electricity over a distance was an essential discovery. The importance of that event is even higher when it becomes clear that the monks and their experiment gave rise to further technological developments, including various signaling systems, telegraph, and telephone. This information can allow us to suppose that explaining when and how the telegraph appeared is the only theme of the book, but closer analysis reveals that it draws attention to many significant issues. Firstly, Standage tries to describe how new technologies can affect society. To begin with, the author emphasizes that the telegraph, like any other invention, witnessed both supporters and opponents. On the one hand, Standage states that the ability to send and obtain information almost immediately resulted in new forms of business practice, which enhanced people’s capabilities to earn money (p. 212). In addition to that, individuals obtained access to more information and could enter into a romantic relationship with telegraph help. On the other hand, the given technology led to the changing social mores and created new kinds of crime. Consequently, the author describes that the telegraph resulted in various issues, both positive and negative, and it could not but influence society in multiple ways. It was so because when people of a single generation experience a significant shock, their lifestyles should reflect it, and it happened in the 1800s. Secondly, Standage refers to the topic of how individuals can contribute to the development of the world. In The Victorian Internet, the author describes the activities of many inventors and scientists, but Samuel Morse, Charles Wheatstone, and William Cooke deserve specific attention. Here, Standage mentions that M

Background information about Al Okhdood Hospital Al Okhdood is a private hospital that operates in Saudi Arabia. The hospital has established several outlets in the country. However, its headquarters are located in Riyadh. The firm has been in operation for 15 years and has been very successful. Over the years it has been in operation, the hospital has managed to position itself optimally in the Saudi Arabian health care industry. One of the factors that have contributed to the hospital’s success is its commitment to providing unique healthcare services. In the course of its operation, the hospital offers a wide range of inpatient and outpatient services, ambulatory services, and special care services. Some of the inpatient services offered include general surgery, urology, gynecology, ENT, internal medicine, ophthalmology, pediatrics, and orthopedics. On the other hand, ambulatory services include radiology, laboratory services, and pharmacy. The hospital is equipped with state-of-art health care technologies to develop the level of satisfaction received by its clients. Some of the facilities that the firm has incorporated include modern theaters, intensive care units, a laboratory, and a radiology unit. With a bed capacity of 200 individuals, Al Okhdood Hospital has been able to satisfy its clients’ needs. In addition to health care facilities, the hospital has also incorporated a hotel segment that offers outstanding hotel accommodation to clients. This has significantly enhanced the hospital’s ability to meet its customers’ needs and expectations. Despite the hospital’s commitment to providing a wide range of inpatient services, the firm has not managed to achieve this goal. One of the
