Background The International Organization for Standardization, otherwise known as ISO, is a global organization, which accredits companies based on performance and service delivery. The ISO certification for companies recognizes those companies, which have successfully gone through the laid down procedures in quality assurance. Its principles include customer focus, leadership, involvement of people, process approach, the systems approach to management, continual improvement, factual approach to decision making, and mutually beneficial supplier relationships amongst others (Branson n.d., p. 1). The scheme is about guaranteeing quality to the recipients of goods and services in business and entrepreneurship, as well as other fields. In determining this quality, customer needs are assessed followed by an evaluation of the degree to which an organization meets them. According to the ISO certification, quality cannot be achieved at once. The process therefore is continuous. As such, it requires active improvement. It is also managed by instituting measures aimed at preventing rather than detecting flaws that may hinder companies’ performance. Some authors have described the quality as “getting it right the first time” (Branson n.d., p. 1). This result is therefore the target of ISO certification in its course to achieve high standards in organizations’ performance. This research looks at the ISO 9000 clause 2.3. It describes it in details in a bid evaluated how companies and organizations deal with it and or how best they can reap from it. Discussion of the Clause There are a number of clauses in the ISO 9000. Companies target to achieve the demands of specific clauses for their accreditation to hold. The clause that the essay looks at is clause 2.3. This clause is on quality management systems approach. It entails a number of prestigious business functions (Branson n.d., p. 1). There are also a number of steps involved for companies to fulfill the clause. The first step involves the initial determination of the expectations of clients to an organization or customers in a business enterprise. In this step, a company considers the requirements of the population it serves so that it targets to fulfill the needs in a bid to benefit at the same time from the efforts. This stands out as the foundation of any successful company. In the ISO requirement, an organization should be able to tell the needs of the people it serves before proceeding to meet them in a defined manner. Most of the organizations, which do not meet this first part of the
Introduction Contemporary media is characterized by a considerable degree of violence, nudity, and inappropriate behavior. Some may argue that TV shows reflect the wrongs of the world, but this assumption is only a half-truth. It is rather naïve to expect that male filmmakers could be less dominating or concentrated on their power compared to other men living in this reality. Society can still be researched from the patriarchal perspective as the concepts of conflict, power, and dominance are still central (Hunnicutt 553). Remarkably, the belief that everyone sells is relevant as men try to sell themselves to achieve a higher position, which makes the word “whore” applicable in many settings and possessing many meanings. It is possible to analyze two scenes from the TV shows in question to consider the meanings behind the depiction of violence against women (VaW) and the use of the word “whore.” Relevance of the Topic It is pivotal to explore the display of VaW due to its prevalence in the media as well as the societies that proclaim democratic principles. For instance, although women in developed countries such as the USA or Canada enjoy various rights and occupy quite a high position in political and business spheres, thousands of females are still victimized. Violence against women is now regarded as one of the most serious health issues to be addressed on the national level (Krantz and Garcia-Moreno 818). VaW is referred to as an act leading to “physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts” (United Nations General Assembly). The increasing level of violence in the media and people’s lives can be associated with the reign of patriarchal beliefs and norms. The exploration of the link between VaW and patriarchal principles is essential as it can help in developing proper strategies to diminish violence in American society. Key Terms and Definitions It is also critical to examine the use of the word “whore” in the media due to several reasons. Firstly, the word is widely utilized in films and TV shows as well as people’s daily life. Secondly, the term is employed in a meaning that is different from its original definitions. Primary meanings of “whore” include a “prostitute” and a female who “has many sexual partners” (“Whore”). However, the word seems to acquire new meanings that are associated with humiliation, the idea of female inferiority, and patriarchal values. This research is based on the assumption that the utilization of the term “whore” in contemporary society has become common due to the prevalence of patriarchal standards and beliefs. This language item has become a form of violence against women as well as an instrument of control. At this point, it is essential to introduce another key term that will guide this research. The concept of betrayal is dominant in the depiction of the relationship between genders in the TV shows under analysis. Betrayal can be defined as an act of being “disloyal to someone who trusts you,
Organization and the Audience The audience that will be engaged in the training is the Saudi Students Organization members. This organization was chosen as a result of a complex needs assessment which aimed at finding and understanding the aspects for improvement. After the estimation, it was identified that the organization is currently facing a problem in the sphere of planning. It is hard for the group to organize the necessary events, follow the plan, and implement its ideas in reality. Therefore, the training and development program will be completed in this organization. Needs Assessment Tool For the process of needs assessment, it was primarily crucial to observe the communication in the group and identify the areas which seemed to lack expertise and professionalism from the organization members. Thus, an overview of the conditions that needed immediate improvement was created. Afterwards, the trainer held the central part of the needs analysis during which the Saudi Students Organization members attended an interview. The dialogue was initiated with the use of open-ended questions. As indicated by Weller et al. (2018), these kinds of inquiries are used “alone or with other techniques to explore topics in depth, to understand processes, and to identify potential causes of observed correlations” (p. 2). For this reason, it can be stated that the use of open-ended questions was appropriate and effective. Question types used:  1. In your opinion, what are the areas that need improvement in your organization?  2. How effective is the process of planning and organizing in the workplace?  3. What are the main obstacles to the achievement of the organization’s plans and ideas? Communication Skill Description Since the needs assessment concluded that the audience encounters a lack of organization and planning, the communication skill that will be trained is planning. As noted by Haythem (2015), “strategic planning is the basis of every common-interest community” (p. 2). Preparation is the process which describes objectives, strategies, directions, and decisions for pursuing the identified goals (Haytem, 2015). The study concluded that planning is the skill that is positively associated with the overall performance of any organization (Haythem, 2015). Moreover, organizing is essential for the procedure of establishing trust and responsibility between individuals (Fox et al., 2017). Hence, without planning and coordinating the work properly, it is hard to achieve desirable results and establish trustful professional relationships within the community. Training Methods In order to engage and motivate the participants, the training session will start with an icebreaker game. One of the prime examples of active icebreakers is changing names according to personal preferences and using them throughout the training session. The training itself will be conducted on a practical assignment. After the presentation about planning as an essential communication skill, the participants will be acquainted with a task to plan an event. The engaging and challenging assignment will help individuals to go through a detailed process of organizing, i

Introduction It needs to be said that data normalization is an interesting topic for discussion. It is a process that is focused on the organization of the contents of a particular database to address any issues with consistency (Fong, 2015). One of the most significant aspects that should not be disregarded is that it is not an easy task to avoid any abnormalities that may occur after an update of a database that is not normalized. Another factor that needs to be considered is the elimination of data that is redundant and not necessary. The fact that business rules have a significant influence on the process also should not be disregarded in most cases. For example, every organization needs to make sure that a consensus on the meaning of key terms is present (Langer, 2012). A methodology may also be chosen, and standardization also should be taken into account. Another aspect that needs to be considered is that the level of performance may be affected, and it is paramount to determine if the trade-off is reasonable in a particular situation (Stephens & Plew, 2000). One of the main reasons why normalization is considered by educational facilities is that the amount of redundant data that is present is truly astounding in most cases. First Normal Form It is paramount to note that the primary purpose of the first form is to make sure that the available data is divided into particular logical units. Insertion anomalies are rather frequent, and this factor should not be overlooked. For example, such columns as an identification number of the student, number of the faculty, grade, and course description may be used. The concatenation of the first two ones determines the other two. On the other hand, the last one is dependent only on the first one. The issue occurs when one of the students attends several classes at once, and several tables may be created to ensure that groups are repeated, but the main one always should be copied. It needs to be
The article’s main purpose is that assess burnout, turnover intention, and supposed quality of care for patients among healthcare professionals in Oman and examine the prospective moderating responsibility of job satisfaction on the relationship between nurse turnover intention and their working environment. The author targets healthcare organizations in Oman and the rest of the world. In this case, the research investigates all nurse turnover intention indicators and burnout to establish ways of mitigating the issue. The author is an assistant dean for postgraduate studies and research in the department of fundamentals and nursing administration, college of nursing in Sultan Qaboos University, Al-Khoud Muscat City. Such qualifications demonstrate the credibility of the article since the findings were obtained by someone who has experience in this field. The relevance of the article is that organizational strategies are required to encourage nurse job satisfaction by providing nurses with the ability to resume functional responsibilities in hospital issues to decrease turnover intention and promote improved care for patients in terms of quality. The article’s main argument is that participation in hospital affairs, staffing adequacy, and a foundation for care quality serve as indicators of burnout in nurses and the perceived quality of patient care. According to (Al Sabei et al., 2020), working in a suitable environment relates to less turnover intention and hence job satisfaction remains high. Employees’ problems need to be solved within a short period so that their grievances could not affect the services of the company. High production will ensure customer satisfaction and hence increases the profit margin of the organization. The article utilized a cross-sectional design to assemble information from a 207 sample of nurses working in a public hospital in Muscat, Oman. Furthermore, the author utilized an electronic survey in assessing the perceptions of the nurses within their workplace satisfaction with their work, burnout, turnover intention, and the level of quality of care for patients. The author concludes that ensuring improvement in the nurse’s job satisfaction serves as a mechanism through future interventions that might boost working conditions and promote improved nurse retention. On the other hand, my observations are that nurses in the world have severe burnout. Many of them report their increased intentions to quit their present healthcare organization. Burnout is associated with inadequate quality of care for patients, turnover intention, and increased absenteeism. Additionally, burnout remains associated with both work-related and personal aspects. However, providing a suitable working environment promotes better nurse retention and fewer reported burnout cases in healthcare nurses in Muscat, Oman. Moreover, improved organizational job satisfaction enables healthcare organizations better to decrease nur
Criminologists and psychiatrists underline that the brain and its functionality have a great impact on the behavior of individuals and their traits. Some individuals are characterized by a strong belief that they have something that can be called “strict genes”. The combination of these factors can affect the lives of many people. The combination of these things is projected to affect the quality of human life. It means that some of the criminals are not able to take control of their impulses. No matter how angry these people are they often find something that may stop them from taking anger out on the other people. An interesting idea has been once mentioned by Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) who voiced the idea that some humans have natural drives and urges that are repressed by the inner forces. Many people are fully unconscious of their inner desires. Freud claims that all humans have criminal tendencies (Wright et al 2008). These tendencies are repressed because of a long period of socialization that comes as a result of the fact that the major tendencies that are present in society remain to be curbed. The effect is caused by the development of inner controls. Many of these things are learned through childhood experiences. Following Wright et al (2008) brain functions determine the level of aggression and violence in every individual. “Because the hippocampus is a primary memory structure and regulatory unit of the brain, it is easy to imagine that a damaged or malfunctioning hippocampus would produce various implications for predisposing one to developmental problems throughout life, such as learning disabilities, poor school/work performance, and so on” (p. 81). This research has once indicated that the theory can indicate to people that they have several inherited traits. Many of these traits are rather specific in their number. Criminal behavior is not always specific since it is projected to deal with several important factors. One of these factors is criminal activities that range from petty theft to mass murde
Frame Rate, Line Density, Sector Angle, and Image Depth, and their Interrelationship According to Gibbs, Cole, & Sassano (2009), Frame rate refers to the number of frames or images that are displayed or projected per second by an imaging device. A sector angle is a central angle that a circle center forms. An imaging depth is a distance between an images’ corresponding scene point and the pinhole of a camera. The camera is often not in harmony with the perception of the depth of a human vision. Line density is the number of acoustic scan lines for every sector in a two-dimensional sector image. These terms are applied in the working and selection of a diagnostic ultrasound machine and equipment. The images produced by the machine are optimized by the use of focal zones, line density, frame rate, frequency manipulation, and other image processing options. Thus, the terms refer to image processing options applied by a diagnostic ultrasound machine. A diagnostic ultrasound machine is made up of several components, each having a separate function to perform. Tissue Harmonic Imaging and its advantages and limitations for B-mode imaging Dogra & Rubens (2003) think that tissue harmonic imaging in the context of ultrasound technology is a signal processing technique whereby an ultrasonic beam is used to insonate body tissues. This insonation helps in the generation of harmonic waves as a result of nonlinear distortion in the pulse-echo cycle’s transmission stage. As time elapses, the ultrasonic sound moves through the tissues of the body nonlinearly. The peaks present in the pulse waveform move at a faster speed than the troughs. Similar to the compressed sections of the tissues, it is transmitted faster than in areas that have undergone expansion courtesy of the passing pressure wave. The level of such an acoustic signal distortion within a tissue is dependent on the emitted pulse’s amplitude and the distance traveled by the pulse in the tissue (Dogra & Rubens 2003, p. 132). Tissue harmonic imaging has numerous advantages for B-mode imaging. These benefits include improved cystic resolution and clearing, an aberration of the beam, and a decrease in reverberation. Others are an improved range penetration and axial resolution as a result of high frequencies. Side lobes experience a noise reduction, thereby reducing artifacts and the signal to noise ratio. One limitation is that it leads to substantial degradation of the axial resolution, making it unable to distinguish between tissue planes. Tissue harmonic imaging is most useful clinically for endocardiac visualization, mitral valve visualization, and EF reproducibility (Edelman 2003, p.173). Assumptions Made by Ultrasound Equipment that give rise to artifacts The basic assumptions made by ultrasound equipment that gives rise to artifacts are, according to Kohzaki (2003), as follows:  1. The a
