Technology can be utilized for health promotion and disease prevention. An example of such a technology is a smart bed, which is a type of bed with sensors that collect information on the occupant. If a patient uses a smart bed, it would gather data about their movement, weight, and breathing. The bed facilitates real-time monitoring of important data on patient status (Ghersi et al., 2018). For instance, if it detects abnormal breathing, it automatically regulates itself until the patient’s vitals normalize. When connected to other medical equipment, a smart bed can also be used for conducting X-ray analysis and measuring blood pressure. Another advantage of these beds is that they help prevent falls, thereby increasing patient safety. They simplify the process of ensuring patient safety since nurses do not have to constantly adjust supplies and equipment for safety reasons. In general, smart beds improve patient care and simplify nurses’ duties. Advanced practice nurses can integrate the smart bed technology into their practice. One of the duties of these nurses is to perform physical examinations of patients and maintain their health records. Smart beds record important patient data that constitutes physical examination. The beds may be connected to electronic medical records to facilitate easy storage and retrieval of data. Advanced practice nurses also evaluate how well a patient is responding to treatment and make adjustments where necessary. Nurses could use smart beds to track a patient’s response to their plan of care (Ghersi et al., 2018). This is because the beds allow for continuous progress monitoring. Finally, advanced practice nurses can urge other nurses to embrace this technology. Since they are responsible for the oversight of other staff including registered nurses, they should encourage the uptake of this technology for health promotion.

What were the causes behind the emergence of female terrorists that arose in Russia after 1900? One of the causes was the movement by Social Revolutionist Party that found strong support among women. The liberal views that were predominant at that time led to women fighting alongside men for a chance at a revolution. A great part of the want to participate in the movement women gained from personal, emotional and social factors. They were psychologically determined to get themselves involved in the fight for a brighter future. A social revolution became a way of life and women were feeling more empowered than ever. They were also influenced by ideas of feminism and the benefits that the movement could bring. The rebellion was contagious, and women were gaining success in the feminist movement. Even though times seemed to have been changing, the old ways and social ideas were still dominant. This was another factor that led to women wanting to make reforms, and it reflected in their behavior (Noonan 2001). What were the characteristic features of the Russian women’s movement during the reign of Alexander II? The time during Alexander II reign was much beneficial for women. It was considered to be one of the most successful women’s movements in Europe. This was due to the liberal behaviors of the government and social changes. There was a great expansion of education and employment for women and other numerous opportunities that were not available before. The social beliefs that a woman must be a mother and a wife were dramatically changing. Women were receiving more rights to get a proper education and enjoy the benefit of social and economic needs of the time. As Russia’s social life was beginning to slowly change there became a dire need for doctors, teachers and even technicians. Women were glad to take up the working force and extend their rights in a practical way. The movement of Russia’s civil and political rights was greatly noticeable and was drastically different from the rest of Europe. The feminist movement was thought to be one of the most liberal and fair ones of those times (Bisha 2
The researchers from Worldwatch institute have found out that the consumption of bottled water has gone up to approximately 40% (Wait, 2008).There have been various reasons for this consumption such as, climatic change, raised living standard and population growth etc. According to Saleem, particularly, in Middle East, the consumption of bottled water from 2003 to 2008 has become double (Wait, 2008). Masafi Company: The establishment of Masafi Company happened in 1976 and now it is a leading company having a strong distribution network globally (Masafi, n.d.). The mineral water is natural which is collected from the mountains of Ras Al Khaima (Masafi Marketing Audit Presentation, 2012). The rich underground springs of Masafi are the resources for this superior quality bottled water. The company’s use of Poly Ethylene Terephatalate (PET) for packaging can be observed as company’s commitment for the conservation of the environment. The PET bottling plant that has a capacity of producing 34,000 bottles in an hour is well equipped with the advance technology (Masafi: The Leading Producer of the Bottled Mineral Water in the Gulf, n. d.). Al Ain Mineral Water Company: Masafi’s big competitor is Al Ain Mineral Water Company. In the local UAE market it is the great challenge for Masafi. Al Ain Mineral Water Company has met the standards set by the US Food and Drug Administration. It has been awarded HAACP certificate in 2002. This company started in the year 1990. Its plant is located in Al Ain city where underground springs of natural, pure, mineral water are in abundance (Field, 2007). Agthia, the owner of the brand Al Ain Mineral Water has expanded its distribution channels to enhance the growth of their bottled water business. The chief executive of the group, Ilias Assimakopoulos says, “We believe that the water business has quite a growth movement in the UAE, especially in the Northern Emirates, which is the key growth opportunity for us” (Duncan, 2012 Para 4). The brand name ‘Al Ain’ is popular in the markets of UAE for the fine quality of its pure and natural water that is collected from the untouched Al Ain springs. Al Ain water is primarily sold in the UAE markets and only a small percentage is exported to the adjoining GCC markets (Field, 2007). The Al Ain Water laboratory use up-to-date equipment for testing water and packaging material to certify the good quality of the product (Al Ain, n.d.). Comparison: The quality of water is analyzed on the basis of minerals present in it. Also, it is important to check the quality of the plastic of the bottles used for packaging and obser

The issues of copyright and ownership rights for the intellectual property have become rather controversial in the modern society. Based on this, every country contributes to the regulation of intellectual property relationships by creating laws and acts that states where and by whom the piece of intellectual property can or cannot be used. In the United States of America such acts include the 1968 Copyright Act and 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act. These documents are especially important today because they clarify the use of copyrighted material by the web sites, networks, and other Internet resources. The major provision of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act is that the sites serving as the file transmitters or distributors are not liable for hosting the files infringing the copyright laws by their users. Thus, public sides are not considered copyright infringers if some of their users operate with the law infringing files on these sites. The reason for this is quite rational as the creators and owners of the web sites physically cannot control the whole process of file traffic on their sites. And they do not have to, because it is the fault of the user if he/she posts an illegal file on the site, and drawing from this the recent policies by such web sites as YouTube, MySpace, AT&T, etc. are hardly understandable. These Internet resources start choosing to filter their traffic through the most updated computer software packages able of finding and blocking the content that infringes the copyright laws of the country. One of such software solutions is the Copyright software by Eyealike bale to detect the illegal files within 15 – 20 seconds of their running. Thus, if the copyright laws and above mentioned acts are concerned, the sites like YouTube, MySpace, AT&T, etc. do not have to implement such strict control measures to filter their traffic and ensure completely legal content. The recently reported lawsuit filed by Viacom against YouTube for hosting the content that infringes the copyright laws is also not un
Introduction The September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon brought to the fore a lot of ignorant beliefs and stereotypes regarding Islam(Ibrahim 102). Undoubtedly, it is past time for tutors to educate themselves and their students on what is the world’s second largest religion. One way that teachers can open discussions on this topic is through asking students to list stereotypes about Islam or simply to record everything they know about Islam and/ or Muslims. Despite the existence of numerous materials about Islam on internet sites, it is rather sad to note that people are still ignorant about this great religion. To many people, Islam is simply a religion that belongs to people who “pray a lot” and whose men are allowed to marry more than one wife. This paper gives a brief summary on Islam and corrects some of the common misconceptions concerning this noble religion. Evidently, one misconception about Islam is the translation of Jihad as “holy war.” According to the English dictionary, Jihad is simply translated as striving in the manner of God. This means that any person who undertakes to study Islam or preach about its ideals is jihad. Contrary to the image portrayed by the media, Jihad is not used to refer to someone who instigates violence in the name of Islam. In fact, the exact translation of the word Islam is peace. It is therefore sad to note that Islam is wrongly associated with the violence that has rocked many parts of the world (PewResearchCenter). Although the media is partly to blame for this apparent misconception, it is also a fact that majority of non-Muslim Americans do not understand that Islam is a lifestyle. Since Muslims do not recognize boundaries between nation-states the way most Americans do, it follows that their patriotism is more about the religion than a particular nation. Additionally, because of religious/racial categorization in the media, Muslims are one of the minoritygroups who are constantly identified by religion when they are accused of committing fanatic acts (Truthnet). In America, many teachers approach Islam as though it were a distant, traditional religion. This is despite the fact that there are over six million Muslims in America and the number keeps on growing at a very high rate. In fact, Islam is the name given to the religion while Muslim is used to refer to its followers. According to statistics, (Hakim 26) there are over 1.2 billion Muslims throughout the world. Large portions of these live in Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and in some portions of Africa and Asia. In addition to Judaism and Christianity, Islam is considered the third largest monotheistic religion. Islam adherents believe that the Qu’ran is God’s word that was revealed to the Prophet Muha
In the past, violence was often used as a means of bringing changes to the society, and even now such a strategy is perceived as something can be morally justified. In the course of its history, the United States also passed through periods when violent actions appealed to many people who tried to eradicate different forms of injustice such as slavery. In his famous essay Civil Disobedience, Henry Thoreau describes the actions of a citizen who believes that a state is either unable or unwilling to serve people. This author is very cautious when he discusses the resistance to the state. In particular, he believes that there are cases when people have a moral right to “rebel and revolutionanize” 1 . However, he believes that it should be the last resort for people when they think that there is no other way of affecting the policies of a state. They should remember that it is usually not necessary to rely on brutal force, when a person tries to express his/her disagreement with the policies of political leaders. Overall, it is possible to argue that violence cannot be regarded as a legitimate way of civil disobedience because it implies that an individual rejects the idea of law and dialogue between a person and the government. Such an approach will not bring sufficient improvements into the life of the community. It should be noted that in his essay, Henry Thoreau openly criticizes the government of the United States. In particular, he pays close attention to the existence of slavery in the country and the legitimate status of this social phenomenon. This is why he believes that a person should act as “counter-friction to stop the machine” of cruelty and injustice. 2 From his point of view, it is immoral for a person to tolerate the existence of a political system that condones slavery. It is a duty of an individual to express his/her civil discontent. This argument is even more explicit when one speaks about Henry Thoreau’s defense of a famous rebel John Brown who took violent actions against slave-owners in the United States. In Thoreau’s opinion, this person was a noble rebel, rather than a terrorist 3 and his actions might have some ethical justifications. Therefore, one should not assume that this writer advocated only non-violent means of resistance. Such an assumption would be too idealistic and inaccurate. This is one of the main points that should be made. Admittedly, Thoreau’s viewpoints concerning the vicious aspects of slavery were correct, but he was too radical when he considered the possibility to use violence to fight various social wrongs. This view of civil disobedience can be dangerous. The problem is that in the course of history even the noblest intentions of individuals could turn into violence and bloodshed that can be extremely devastating. This argument is particular important when one speaks about French and Russian revolutions that lead to the creation of totalitarian and unjust regimes. This is the main dangers that people should be aware of when they
The Case Dr. Makoto Suzuki, who worked as a Professor at the Kumamoto University Hospital in Japan involved himself in research misdemeanors in two major research works. The first research was funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) grant number P50 CA070907, whereas the second misconduct was an investigation supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant number U01 CA084971. It was proven that the accused consciously, deliberately, and carelessly fabricated data recounted in six publications. Inaccurate data showing the loading controls of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase as well as methylated and unmethylated polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in reverse transcription-PCR gel panels were included in those publications. The details of the misconduct included the use of similar images in different publications as well as marking the images in different ways and stating that they corresponded to separate trials of human tumor cell lines exposed to varying actions. The subject engineered an image and stated that it denoted a gel with adjacent lanes. The manipulation involved
The notion of emotional intelligence According to Mayer, Salovey and Caruso (2008), the original notion of emotional intelligence (EI) was that some people have the capacity to reason as well as utilize emotions to augment their thoughts more efficiently than others (p.503). Ever since 1990, emotional intelligence has developed into a small sphere of consulting, education, testing and publication (Mathews, Roberts & Zeidner, 2004, p.179). Nevertheless, the visible size of the sphere transcends what we perceive as pertinent scientific research in the field. As a matter of fact, Locke (2005) recently asserted that emotional intelligence is an invalid notion partly because it is described in a variety of ways (p.425). It is worthy to mention that emotional intelligence was initially defined as a set of interconnected capabilities. Nonetheless, a number of scholars have defined emotional intelligence as an assorted blend of traits such as self-worth, happiness, self-management and optimism as opposed to ability-based concept (Petrides & Furnham, 2001, p.425). This alternative approach to emotional intelligence notion (using the term to assign assorted blends of traits) has resulted in substantial misunderstanding and confusion as regard the nature of emotional intelligence. Many aspects, such as self-worth, incorporate in these models are not directly associated with emotion or intelligence or their interrelation (Mathews, Roberts & Zeidner, 2004, p.185). The main factors of Emotional Intelligence Schutte and others (1998) assert that there are various emotio
Counseling and clinical psychology is the area that tends to develop and adopt new approaches to treating patients. The dynamic social environment, research achievements, and practical efforts lead to a more sophisticated system used by psychologists, which creates the need to thoroughly synthesize and evaluate related changes. This paper focuses on discussing the available scholarly literature on assessment, prevention, and clinical work trends in psychological research. Assessment The psychological assessment is one of the key activities conducted by professionals by collecting patient data and making corresponding decisions. Borders et al. (2014) mention that regardless of a specific setting, the majority of psychologists refer to observation and interview as a means of obtaining information to be evaluated. The first assessment direction is personality and cognitive functioning testing that can include Bender-Gestalt, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale III, and so on. Clinical specialists use neuropsychological functioning assessment more frequently compared to their counseling colleagues, which is caused by the differences in their patients. Among the latest trends, the self-administering and self-scoring assessment approach may be noted as the one that provides patients with credible information about their personality (Borders et al., 2014). The assessments applied by counseling and clinical experts may vary, depending on a patient setting, health problem, and cultural peculiarities. Cultural-clinical psychology emphasizes the cultural variation that is identified not only by group culture but also by individual perceptions of a person. The trend is that the mentioned psychology aims to critically assess a patient’s identity without being excessively concentrated on his or her connections to one or another culture (Ryder, Ban, & Chentsova-Dutton, 2011). For example, in a family where parents belong to different nationalities, their cultural views tend to be blended, and, therefore, a psychologist should not consider that a Hispanic mother is impulsive only because of her background. In other words, there is a link between culture and a person, and both of them affect each other. The collaboration between integrated and cultural psychology is the critical tendency in the field. Ryder et al. (2011) suggest that they are likely to compose one specialty that requires altering both of them so that they can be used by specialists as a holistic approach to patient treatment. In particular, the main challenge is associated with considering mental disorders from the cultural perspective: for exa
