By referring to the “natural condition,” Hobbes means a simple form of social order. Personal interests and the lack of a legal framework impede social development. There is no centralized power, and this condition is close to anarchy. Regarding relationships among people, the natural condition presupposes constant enmity. Concerning the natural world, consumption forms the basis of life. The values ​​of respect for people or nature are not implied. By saying that “men live without a common power,” Hobbes means disunity. Society is anarchic, and everyone is fighting for their own life. Individual disunity is based on equality and freedom without central governance. This condition is the cause of constant and inevitable conflict. The satisfaction of individual desires is of the highest value. This is impossible to protect oneself from evil, which entails conflicts. In this condition, people are suspicious and distrustful of one another. They cannot be called friends or enemies but rather something in between. Sharing goods with others is impossible in such an intermediate state. Ultimately, people are considered equal due to equal rights to freedom. However, this equality is fragile and not based on democratic values. Power in human relationships is seen as a tool to protect personal gains. The same amount of it means the ability to preserve one’s goods. Greater and lesser amounts are associated with opportunities to take away or lose them, respectively. In the natural condition, there are three main causes of conflict. They are competition, glory, and diffidence, which complement one another. These states are natural in the world of personal freedom and anarchy. Hobbes describes the natural condi
Introduction Today, many people are obsessed with an idea of innovation and consider it as the main driver of personal and professional well-being. Innovation is used to promote growth and success, to identify and eliminate weaknesses, and to increase the number of positive outcomes. Each field requires certain innovations from time to time to demonstrate a portion of the progress achieved. In the field of healthcare, innovation plays an important role due to the possibility to introduce new practices, improve human life, and promote an understanding of change (Khanassov, Vedel, & Pluye, 2014). It is necessary to understand that innovation in healthcare is not a new kind of technology only. Healthcare innovation is a concept that may be used in various health management programs, processes, and services to improve the existing system and find a solution to an existing problem. In this paper, the goal is to introduce, develop, and discuss an innovation strategy in healthcare, its peculiarities, and key outcomes. Talent management is one of the strategies that have already been used in different countries and healthcare facilities. However, there is no definite structure and plan on how to implement this innovation in healthcare. Therefore, the quality of Middle East healthcare may be considerably improved with the help of crossover learning, and this paper will examine different aspects of this strategy, evaluate several experiences, and prove that government schools are ready to elaborate the relationships between patients’ and healthcare practitioners’ lives, the working environment, and the promotion of lifelong learning (Vishwanath, 2015). Unit Background Dallah Hospital is the focus of the current report. The organization has been known for providing various healthcare services for twenty-five years. Dallah Hospital has gained an impressively positive reputation over the years of its existence by providing consistently good service and focusing on the needs of patients by identifying culture-specific characteristics thereof. As a result, the opportunities for efficient management of a disease or disorder form in which a patient suffers are located and explored extensively. The active promotion of multiculturalism and the importance of addressing the unique needs of customers should be viewed as one of the primary assets of Dallah Hospital (“Dallah Hospital starts treating speech and swallowing disorders,” 2013). Problem Description Managing changes in the healthcare setting is a challenging task, primarily because of the necessity to balance the needs of patients and those of staff members. Herein lies the issue regarding the introduction of innovations in the context of healthcare institutions; while serving as the foundation for a massive improvement in the quality of the provided services, they also imply that staff members should accept new responsibilities and acquire a range of new skills. Therefore, it is possible to face significant resistance from the staff members. By
Twelfth Night raises the issue of gender inequality, forcing us to think about the formation of social conventions. For the period of the play (early 16th century), the theme of inequality is generally relevant and is reflected a greater extent in Shakespeare’s works (Shakespeare). Instead, the emphasis in the play is on the moral and ethical makeup of the characters rather than on gender. In contrast, modern interpretations focus on gender as the title theme. In She’s the Man , the problem of gender inequality is expressed more precisely: the soccer team, in which there is no place for girls because of their gender, is happy to meet Viola dressed as a boy (Fickman). The main reason for hiding Viola’s identity is not her desire to be better than her brother. She desires to keep her vulnerability a secret and not let people think of her weakness because of her gender. Social gender inequality is revealed in masculine clothing and habits to build status and respect from other students. The modern interpretation of Twelfth Night’s theme is directed mainly toward the changing world around us. Fighting for women’s rights and bringing them into all walks of life without comparison based on gender is the primary purpose of the play’s interpretation. She’s the Man is mainly about disguising one’s identity to achieve success, and the moral aspect is not as pronounced as the social differences (Fickman). For a film of the noughties, when feminism was not so popular, the work perfectly reflects the problem of inequality. The differences between the film and the play are expressed in the central theme and genre of the work. In Twelfth Night , the viewer is exposed to the moral conflict and the severity of mental suffering due to the need to hide one’s identity. In She’s the Man , the characters are inadvertently involved in a love triangle because of the need to transcend gender boundaries. The leitmotif opens new opportunities for women and their equality with men. Works Cited Fickman, Andy, director. She’s the man . DreamWorks Pictures, 2006.

The scale and scope of the project With regard to project management, the scale and scope of a project involve all the information that is required to initiate a project and all other features that could be in line with requirements of stakeholders (Kerzner 2013, Lewis 2005). The project manager and other team members met stakeholders to brief them about the project. A seismic survey was conducted in order to accurately identify the location of oil reserves. Afterwards, personnel were involved in drilling wells that were characterised by certain measurements. It was important for the team to establish flow lines that could link wells to block stations, which were connected to a storage terminal. In order to ensure effective transportation of oil, the lead manager was keen on the construction of roads that were built at a cost of 0.15 million USD per kilometre. The whole project was estimated to cost over 270 million USD. Important systems Project managers are required to adopt systems that are aimed at increasing the chances of success of a project (Meredith & Mantel Jr 2011). Project systems could be either cheap or expensive to execute, depending on various factors. An organisational system was crucial in putting in place the right workforce that could help to achieve the desired outcomes. The transportation system was aimed at achieving an effective movement of oil products from wells to the storage terminal. In addition, a system of wells was essential in locating the petroleum reservoir. Importance of collaboration Different studies have identified the roles that are played by collaboration among team members in a project (Dvir, Raz & Shenhar 2003). Although different departments in a big project of an organisation conduct different activities, they are all aimed at achieving a common goal (Al-Harbi 2001). In the context of the completed oil project, the collaboration resulted in coherence because all departmental heads worked together to identify issues and propose ways of addressing them. Furthermore, collaboration was important in ensuring that project resources were shared among different business functional areas. The emergency plan When project managers are implementing a project, they are aware of various natural and technological disasters that could arise (Eisenman, Cordasco, Asch, Golden & Glik 2007). With regard to oil exploration, life-threatening disasters could negatively impact families and performance outcomes of oil drilling companies. Thus, it is i
Introduction Besides the strategic performance review, personal reflections on our group’s effectiveness for problem-solving are also valuable. The present considerations are based upon the experience I got from my group simulation, “Succeeding in Business” lectures, and a scholarly article. During the group session, our team faced organizational and communicational challenges that affected the group’s performance. While some of the problems were appropriately addressed, others were ignored. Organizational Challenge One of the central challenges our team faced was organizing our meeting and selecting a leadership pattern. Before our team held the first meeting, we had an appointed leader who was unable to facilitate everyone to agree on the time and place of the simulating session. In my personal opinion, the issue arose because our leader tried to apply transactional leadership rather than transformational. Our leader always tried to appeal to rewards and punishments rather than using charisma and related qualities to inspire our group members (“Lecture 10: Leadership”, 2018). For example, our appointed head would refer to our professor being angry if we do not complete the task, rather than motivate everyone by saying that our simulation can become the best if we focus on choosing the right time and place of the simulation. As a result of these mistakes, our group faced one of the most common dysfunctions of a team – the absence of trust (“Week 7: Teamwork”, 2018). Solving the problem The situation was resolved by applying the shared leadership model. As it became clear that our leader was unable to motivate the group, I had to take responsibility to become a co-leader. Taking up the collaborator role, I proposed everyone suggest the time and place of a meeting and asked all the group members to speak out about other’s propositions through WhatsApp. After that, I applied the rational model in decision-making and stated the best answer to our problem with supporting evidence (“Week 8: Decision Making”, 2018). In brief, we applied shared leadership to deal with the stated problem and used the model for our further decisions throughout the simulation. Assessment of the Situation I believe that the situation was addressed effectively; however, our team lost too much time before the solution was found and applied. According to Wang,
Introduction Modern-day nursing is developing in the direction of an integrated, evidence-based practice that approaches healthcare from the perspective of multifaceted systems and not from the point of view of only one individual. For that reason, the emergence and implementation of family theories and models in nursing are highly effective. The abundance of family theories implies differences in the benefits they provide, which necessitates the comparison of some of the most popular ones. The comparison and analysis allow for identifying strengths, weaknesses, application opportunities, and case fit. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast two family theories that may be adopted for use in clinical practice by the advanced practice nurse. In this paper, Calgary Family Assessment and Intervention Models (CFAM/CFIM), as well as the Family Health System Model (FHS), will be discussed. Within this paper, the strengths and weaknesses of each model, as well as the choice rationale, will be presented and validated. Additionally, a case study will be developed to apply one of the theories to determine what concepts are applicable and what do not fit the case particularities. Finally, the paper will address the challenges of integrating the theory into clinical practice and the likelihood of adopting one into clinical practice. Identification and Description of Theories Overall, the emergence of family theories was consistent with the requirement of nursing to address the needs of families as social units by which individuals’ physical and mental well-being is affected. Two models that will be at the center of this paper’s discussion include CFAM/CFIM, and FHS are well-developed, comprehensive, integrative, and highly applicable to different contexts. The choice of these two theories was validated by the scope of their application for a variety of family health cases, their extensive presence in the academic literature, and the relevance of these models’ concepts to clinical practice at multiple levels. While the Calgary models are often addressed and used separately (different concepts for assessment and intervention), they ultimately constitute a unified framework, which is why both CFAM and CFIM are integrated into one theory. The first theory to be described is CFAM/CFIM, which has been introduced to the clinical field in recent dec
The sky’s the limit when we are put in a situation where we have to choose between the best, decide on the price and figure out what brand would be the most feasible to purchase cheerleading shoes. Though most teams dwell a considerable amount of thought in the art and design of issues, factors such as comfort and price should be given enough for thought. Are the shoes big or heavy? Do they have enough padding and support? Etc are some of the main questions that must be attended to before finally zeroing down on one. The average price of cheerleading shoes varies from $50 to $60. One should thus, consider if it falls within their price range. Are they sturdy enough to last them a year at least. Ergo, plenty of time can be taken to select the best shoe on the block in the process. The quality, sport and construction of the shoe can make a huge difference between a sprained ankle and safety conscious cheering. Even then, if one’s unsure of what to wear and how to go about it, advice may be sought from the school’s physician or advisor or representatives from various companies. For instance a team that is meant to perform partner stunts and pyramids will have to select a show that will be different from a team that never has to perform any of these aforementioned functions. However canvas shoes that offer no support are a big no for cheerleaders. The risk is too dangerous to be taken up. Nonetheless cheerleading shoes should always be light and flexible. Most cheerleading shoes are available in the market with color cards. There are various kinds and brands of cheerleading shoes available in the market. Hanes Sport is one of the most renowned cheerleading shoes available in the market. Its light weightiness and excellent quality at an affordable price makes it one of the most attractive cheerleading brands around which certainly seem irresistible to most customers. If you have never tried a Hanes Sport shoe before, then this could certainly prove to be a bargain worth the price due to its quality, price and attractiveness. One of the leaders of the market; Converse which is available in different types such as Converse kick out, converse dismount and converse chant which are all available at extreme prices. Features such as the Molded EVA midsole allow the cheerleader optimum cushioning and flexibility. The other support features such as the Leather/synthetic upper makes the break in easier and the support system easier as well. Another feather in the cap of this brand is the superior traction for all surfaces. The Antimicrobial treatment for the sock liner creates better sanitary preventive measures. The different adult sizes and colors have made this brand one of the most heavily demand
Introduction Civil liberties have eroded after the collapse of the former USSR. The rising authoritarianism has placed democratic institutions and civil society in jeopardy. Although Russia has assumed a leadership role in both the Group of Eight (G8) and the Council of Europe, two institutions defined by their members’ economic strength and democratic values Russia’s prominent role in these two important intergovernmental organizations has brought its continuing violations of human rights, disrespect for the rule of law, and undermining of democratic institutions into the spotlight. Reddaway and Dmitr (2004) By response, President Putin’s government justified its tightening of restrictions on critics of Russian policies in Chechnya as important in the fight against terrorism. But with time, the Russian government has continued to carry concerted efforts in weakening and controlling all independent organizations involved in promoting democracy and human rights throughout the country. The need for strong institutions The civil society The civil society in Russia has been grossly undermined by the current regime. For example, in his May 2004 address president, Putin attacked the civil by saying it was working with NGOs with foreign interests and against the interests of Russia and its citizens. This in essence added to the suggestions of academics Igor Sutyagin and Valentin Danilov on fabricated charges of espionage the development of an extensive civil society is a real chance that can help the development of many NGOs. Political parties In 2004 Putin’s party in the Duma had two-thirds of all seats. Such a majority was far enough to enact legislation of any kind and to change the constitution to suit the President. Indeed December 12, 2004, Putin was able to sign into law a bill that ended the election of regional governors. This gave the President the right to appoint Governors, thereby eliminating the possibility of any parliamentary or regional opposition. According to Human Rights Watch, opposition parties have been either decimated or eliminated altogether, in part due to the much-flawed elections of December 2003I An a truly growing or democratic society the need for vibrant and independent political parties which can contest elections is indispensable. In addition, there is a need for strong opposition Parliament with the ability to give alternative policies and serve as a training ground for future governance. Growth of a business community The destruction of the business community started with the destruction of the Yukos and the ultimate seizure of its assets. The Kremlin has made it clear that Russia claims all oil and gas reserves in the former Soviet Union in addition to the ownership of the pipelines which transit the territory of the former Soviet Union. The outflow of investment from Russia over the past year and a half confirms that the business base which could support alternative political views inside Russia is shrinking rapidly. The elimi
Introduction Health issues caused by consuming contaminated food are one of the biggest problems of the environmental safety sphere. A foodborne outbreak is determined as the case when two or more people are diagnosed with similar illness proved to be caused by food consumption (Friis, 2012, p. 279). Most people are aware of this problem due to the frequent cases of various media covering this topic. However, there is little understanding of the types of contaminants and the ways of their transmitting to people. There are private and governmental institutions that collect data on separate illness cases and nationwide outbreaks associated with food consumption. They analyze trends and publish reports with findings and propositions on how to increase food safety. Recent research papers issued by those controlling agencies show varied results regarding the situation. There is a need to develop further strategies that will allow all members of food supply chains to decrease the number of foodborne illness cases. Bacterial Contaminants As R. S. Friis mentions, foodborne illnesses can be acute or take a long-term character (2012, p. 279). This difference is explained by various contamination agents that appear to be the cause of a disease. The book offers the classification of those agents based on their physical, chemical, and biological nature. These include the groups of pathogenic microbes, chemical compounds, residues of medication, foreign objects, radioactive materials, packaging particles, and miscellaneous contaminants (Friis, 2012, p.282). Some of these pathogens reach food only at the final stage of preparation and serving, while others may be present in a specimen before it even grows. While sources of most contaminant groups can be traced and eliminated on the spot, some of them require a detailed study and strategy for the reduction of incidents. Bacterial agents belong to one of those categories since they are adaptive to change and may be transmitted globally. The latter is especially troubling as bacteria brought from foreign countries may present many issues to the health state of the local population who has never faced it before. Salmonella is one of the most widespread causes of foodborne infections. These are the “rod-shaped, motile, gram-negative, and non-spore-forming bacteria” (Friis, 2012, p. 283). There are numerous serotypes of this bacteria that cause salmonellosis, the symptoms of which resemble severe food poisoning, including vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and headache. People usually associate salmonellosis with the consumption of raw meat, fish, or eggs. However, since contaminated water and soil are one of the sources of Salmonella, fresh produce can also carry these bacteria. Studies suggest that several salmonellosis outbreaks came from melons, tomatoes, and several kinds of sprouts (Lynch, Tauxe, & Hedberg, 2009, p. 309). Fresh juice can also be contaminated with this bacterial agent. Some stamps of salmonella became resistant to treatment, which raises issues among healthcare professionals. Another widespread contaminant is Escherichia coli that produce Shiga toxin, often abbreviated as STE
