The management of health is often connected with the strategies that may involve assistance, guidance, predicting the progress of development and other possible interventions. Especially, these are more probably required when dealing with the neurocognitive problems. The present description is concerned with the role of teacher in the better management of Autism in children. Briefly, Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder which involves impairments in communicative skills, societal interaction and behavioral adjustment (Levy, David & Robert, 2009). According to the DSM-IV criteria and the International Classification of Diseases, a special category known as pervasive developmental disorders involves pervasive developmental disorders, Rett’s syndrome, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), autistic disorder, and Asperger’s syndrome (Levy et al., 2009). Children with autism need special care. This could be better approached with educational strategies under the supervision of teachers. For example, an experienced teacher could instruct good manners and behavior. They could implement a well organized day schedule while maintaining firmness in their attitude (Grandin, 2002). A strategy of one-to-one speech therapy in a week is a good practice by the teachers. Parents need special training to handle children with Autism (Grandin, 2002). Teachers could raise awareness programs for parents say, with special emphasis on spending on games for nearly four hours a day (Grandin, 2002). Busy parents can be instructed to hire caring old women who may better manage Autistic children (Grandin, 2002). This could be because they have potential to teach from all corners. For instance, they help autistic children undergo various ‘turn taking activities like roll the bottom ball. During the mealtime, autistic children could be prevented from inappropriate behavior (Grandin, 2002). Hence the teacher can emphasize on the strategies like speech modulation, play time, abnormal manners at meals which might help in assessing the autistic children’s con
Formal Analysis. The Nativity: Medieval Art of the XIII Century in a Nutshell Mediterranean Medieval art delights with the seeming simplicity of its themes and the numerous underlying ideas that are revealed as one takes a closer look at the artwork in question. Even though the artworks delight with their diversity of themes and motifs, there is still a common threat with each of them. Although the influence of art pieces created in different regions of the Mediterranean on each other and on the next generations of artworks can hardly be traced nowadays, very intriguing and peculiar conclusions can be drawn from the analysis of one of these works, and The Nativity by Master of Gerona is a perfect example of the given phenomenon. Subject matter: the influence of Christianity Despite the fact that Christianity had been the official state religion of the Byzantine Empire for quite long by the time that similar works appeared in the art heritage of the state, religion related themes continued to manifest themselves in the works of Byzantine artists even ten centuries after. Centered around the birth of the Christ, as one can easily guess, The Nativity touches upon both the event and the journey that the Magi had to make in order to bring gifts to the Son of God and the son of a man. The painting itself depicts the Manger with the Christ and two Magi standing next to it. Formal elements: what lurks in the shadow Like any visual medium, The Nativity uses the best of the formal elements in order to get the key message of joy and happiness of the event across to the general audience. One of the most remarkable features of the given work is that, though clearly meant for the Christian audience, it nevertheless addresses the universal values, such as mother – child love, the need for wonder, etc., therefore, making the context accessible for literally everyone. Curved lines are used a lot in the picture to get the idea of harmony across. The picture gives the characters enough space to breathe, yet the Virgin Mary and Jesus are drawn close to each other, which emphasizes the power of maternal love. The light shed on the Virgin Mary and her Son implies the id
Getting older, many people face problems associated with memory and concentration. Such changes are often considered normal and are discussed in the framework of aging when they do not affect the level of function adversely. Nevertheless, many representatives of the elderly deal with memory loss that prevents them from living independently and happily. In the majority of cases, Alzheimer’s disease turns out to be the cause of this problem. It is a slowly progressive illness that affects human brain and leads to dementia. In this way, issues with memory are eventually accompanied by language and perception problems. Even though Alzheimer can be associated with genetic risks, it is mainly connected to aging. That is why increased age is a reason to start utilizing preventive measures. The symptoms of this disease can be of different severity while its causes remain unknown, which proves that additional attention should be paid to it. Vulnerable Population and Causes Alzheimer’s disease can be caused by different risk factors, but in the majority of cases, it is associated with aging. One in five people who are older than 65 years old suffers from this health issue while about 30% of people who are over 85 years old are affected by it (Galimberti & Scarpini, 2013). In order to protect these individuals from the possibility of facing negative consequences of Alzheimer’s disease, professionals developed various treatments. However, they do not seem to be rather effective because the number of affected older adults fails to minimalize. Even though Alzheimer’s usually affects people over 70 years of age, it can also be found in those who are about 40-50 years old. In these cases, inherited gene mutations are considered (Farinde, 2012). Professionals usually pay attention to apolipoprotein E when they consider that a patient is likely to belong to this population. According to other studies, the levels of estrogen may affect the risk of having Alzheimer’s (Chhibber & Zhao, 2014). In this way, elderly women are considered to be at a higher risk of developing this disease. However, professionals still reveal their doubts considering the last two causes of Alzheimer’s, which means that aging is the only risk factor that can be definitely discussed. Symptoms and Consequences Alzheimer’s disease develops slowly, so those older adults who experience some of its symptoms have an opportunity to contact a healthcare professional in order to obtain required assistance. In particular, attention should be paid to the ability to perceive and memorize information (Boyle et al., 2012). If associated problems are observed, an older person can ask repetitive questions or start one and the same conversations several times. He/she can put things in different places and forget their location. In this way, one can not only miss some appointments but also get lost being nex
The study of Indian Ocean societies can throw light on the way in which the representatives of different religious, ethnic, and cultural groups can interact with one another within the boundaries of a country or a region (Chew, 2012). Furthermore, this approach can show how and why conflicts in this region can emerge. In some cases, it is possible to examine literary works because they can throw light on the experiences, values, and perceptions of individuals who may represent of one of these societies. This paper is aimed at examining the novel By the Sea written by Abdulrazak Gurnah (2002). The book can be of great interest to researchers. It explores the experiences of people who lived in Zanzibar at the time when this country passed through the period of political turmoil and dramatic changes. To a great extent, the author shows how people can construct their memories of the past events. Moreover, the writer is able to demonstrate how individuals can offer different interpretations of the same events. These are some of the main aspects that should be taken into account because they are important for the analysis of this source. This essay is aimed at showing that many Indian Ocean societies were made very unstable or even fragile due to the legacies of imperialism and colonial expansion. In particular, these communities could be ridden with many ethnic conflicts that began to manifest themselves at the time, when these countries passed through the period of dramatic transformations such as revolutions. Moreover, Abdulrazak Gurnah demonstrates how the relations between various diasporas could be disrupted due to this political turmoil. More importantly, this author demonstrates that the colonial ties cannot be easily severed even at the moment when a certain country declares its independence because many individuals wanted to integrate into the former metropolises. To some degree, these trends are illustrated by Abdulrazak Gurnah who depicts the events in Zanzibar at the time when the country gained its independence. Moreover, at that time, many individuals, who played an important role in the social hexarchy, were forced to leave the country. To a great extent, this social and political context shaped the behaviour of characters depicted by Abdulrazak Gurnah. These are the main elements of the thesis which should be examined in greater detail. It is necessary to discuss several important themes explored by Abdulrazak Gurnah (2002). Moreover, many of these issues are relevant to the study of Indian Ocean societies. First of all, it is necessary to show how the characters of this novel perceived the legacies of imperialistic expansion and their colonial experience. One should keep in mind that people do not necessarily regard colonial legacies of their countries as something negative. By focusing on this topic, one can better explain how the connections between imperialism and instability of Indian Ocean communities. Additionally, one should demonstrat
Abstract This report aims to highlight on the plans carried out during the implementation of expansion of Melbourne International airport. Background, planning implementation and strategies carried out by project teams are discussed and findings are presented through in depth analysis. Executive Summary Melbourne airport is the main airport that provides air services to Melbourne city. In addition, the airport is the 2nd most active airport in Australia. Having commenced in the year 1970, the airport has evolved to become the only exclusive international airport that serves the metropolitan area. The airport also boasts of being the 4 th most toured air route in the globe. It serves 33 direct destinations that link to other parts of Australia, including international hubs in Africa, Europe among others. It acts as the main hub of Qantas and Virgin airlines, Australia division (Ellis 2006). When it comes to Cargo, the airport acts the most active when it comes to international export freight while at the same time acting as the second most active in import freight (Albertini 2008). Melbourne Airport Airfield Infrastructure Planning and Building Works for the Airbus A380 Aircraft Operations The entrance of the new Airbus A380 into our skies signaled the beginning of expansion plans in most international airports all around the globe. Pundits have labeled the new Airbus as a splendid giant, the five hundred and sixty tone machine with wings that spans a massive fifteen meters wider than the jumbo. It has over five hundred and thirty kilometers of wiring which contributed to delays in delivery to customers. The passenger version can carry up to five hundred and fifty passengers ( Melbourne’s Airport 2003) . Following preliminary studies conducted by consultative project teams, Firms in the project had to conduct concept stage studies that included the development of design criterion founded on international standards. Planning also included the analysis of design codes and prior evaluation of construction methods. This was all done to go with procedural constraints to ensure that the airport would remain fully operational during the expansion period. The international terminal was widened by five thousand squared meters with emphasis placed on increasing seating capacity and construction of a 3 rd level that is home to airline lounges. The gates (gate nine and eleven) were integrated with aerobridges that can hold at least one A380 at a time. This greatly reduced the turnaround time for the planes being served by the airport. The aerobridges facilitate the boarding and disembarking of passengers from the double-decker airplane. There was also the addition of baggage carousel within arrival halls. The project involved the close participation of planning and development consultants together with officials from the Melbourne airport. Close participation assisted in minimizing passenger and cargo traffic disruptions within the airport. Planning of the expansion included the design of intricate multi level spaces that hosted the high movement of passengers through t
Causes of Sparticus Shanker’s behavior and its relationship to his disability Sparticus Shanker is eligible for special education because he has ODD and ADHD. It is possible to say that his behavior, i.e., exchange of the prescribed medication and marijuana for the X-box, is influenced by his disorder to a large extent. ODD is a form of disruptive behavior disorders. The behavior of people with this condition is commonly associated with the consequences that “violate the rights of others and/or that bring the individual into significant conflict with societal norms or authority figures” (Boat & Wu, 2015, para. 1). The major ODD symptoms are frequent anger and irritable mood, difficulties in controlling their temper, defiant behavior, disobedience, and so on (Riley, Ahmed, & Locke, 2016). The study findings indicate that children with the disorder experience “greater school failure and more suspensions and expulsions” (Boat & Wu, 2015, para. 4). The inability to comply with the commonly accepted behavioral norms impedes the success of diagnosed individuals. Moreover, it is observed that with the increasing age, those people are prone to be in greater conflict with the legal system (Boat & Wu, 2015). The event with the drug exchange in school may be considered as a premise to greater social and legal infractions. As it is mentioned in the group update review, the student’s impairment was unmedicated and untreated. Based on this, the symptoms of ODD can be marked in the boy’s behavior. The research evidence provided in the previous paragraph suggests that Sparticus’s attempts to sell drugs may be provoked by the morbid psychological impetuses. His actions may be regarded as the active refusal to comply with the social norms and the school’s authority. In this way, we may say that the student’s behavior has direct and substantial relationships with his disorder. It is possible to assume that Sparticus Shanker’s behavior is not a direct result of the District’s failure to implement the IEP. The IEP team had conducted a functional behavioral assessment and designed the educational and behavioral intervention plan for the student. Since the primary goal of the developed program was the increase in the student’s compliance with school expectations, it can be regarded as an effective preventive measure. However, the boy’s conduct may signal that some alterations to the plan are needed. As stated in 20 U.S. Code, Chapter 33, Subchapter II, para. 1415 (D) (ii), if the behavior of a student with a disability violates school regulations and is considered the manifestation of the disease, the IEP Team should “review the behavioral intervention plan if the child already has such a behavioral intervention plan, and modify it, as necessary, to address the behavior” (p. 691). In case, the IEP is efficiently administered, there would be a chance for the student to cease the challenging and risk-taking behaviors. Overall, at t
The condition of public health in a society depends on many factors. To achieve good standards in this sphere, it is crucial to identify harmful factors, introduce effective laws that would deal with these factors, and to realize these laws in practice. In this paper, we will attempt to identify one of such factors, the level of cruelty towards animals, show its relation to public health, and offer some legal tools that might prove useful in addressing the problem. The problem of animal abuse is significant for the public health of a society. Despite the fact that public health legislation does not include this issue (for instance, in Baltimore County Code the article concerned with animals (#12) is separate from the article concerned with public health (#13) (American Legal Publishing, 2015)), the problem of cruelty towards animals has an important correlation with the area of public health, or, more precisely, with one of its parts – behavioral health. Indeed, it is evident that violence towards animals is, in most cases, related to violence against humans. For instance, Flynn (2011) argues that “animal abuse is linked to a variety of interpersonal violence, including bullying, juvenile delinquency, adult violent crimes and other nonviolent offenses”; it has been shown that cruelty towards animals often “co-occurs with woman-battering” (p. 454). Therefore, the link between animal abuse and public health exists, and it demands both public and legal attention. The prevention of cruelty towards animals is a major factor that might contribute to preventing interpersonal violence; for example, Flynn (2011) argues that ending violence against animals “is an important step in ending all violence” (p. 454). It is stated that in 2013 many police officers did not consider animal abuse a vital problem, treating it “as a minor property crime” (Smith, 2015); many of them consider it a “Fluffy-Muffy issue”, not worth worrying about (Siebert, 2010). Even though there exists legislature protecting animals in Baltimore County (American Legal Publishing, 2015; Baltimore County Government, 2014), it is apparent that it needs to be adjusted in order to enable law enforcers to elicit the facts of animal violence and prevent them more effectively. The law should also make the change in the officers’ attitude towards the problem possible on the institutional level; for instance, it might establish specific training programs elaborating the importance of the issue. It is also possible to legally introduce anti-violence programs into the school curriculu
The situation described in the initial post does indeed compromise socialism as a utopian idea. However, when applied to real-life scenarios, it becomes evident that the reasons for state and economic failures are diverse. Economist Thomas Sowell warns against using “one-factor explanations” (Fox Business, 2019, 0:28). Therefore, blaming socialism alone is not sufficient to explain the crisis in Venezuela and the risks to the United States. First, Venezuela had inadequate wealth distribution, where the majority of the population was removed from the oil revenues of the highest class. What is noteworthy is that the deeply capitalist US also faces the problem of income inequality. I have a friend who believes that a steeper wealth tax should be implemented – a message commonly heard in mass media (Fox Business, 2019, 4:04). Therefore, inadequate wealth distribution is not an inherent part of socialism itself. Second, Venezuela is too dependent on the government-controlled oil industry. Starting in 2006, president Chavez started a policy of nationwide nationalization, which led to the destruction of “the production capacity of the country” (The Big Picture, 2018, 4:59). The government attempted to flood the economy with money generated by oil revenues resulted in hyperinflation (Real Vision, 2018, 09:01). Yet, my parents are also worried about the possibility of hyperinflation in the US due to the massive printing of dollars. Once again, there is no immediate relation between socialism and poverty. Finally, income inequality inevitably creates feelings of jealousy among poorer people. Thomas Sowell states that promising wealth tax is a politician’s means of capitalizing on the people’s desires (Fox Business, 2019, 3:56). This is also true in the initial post’s example, where the teacher forced high-scoring students to achieve lower marks, thus pandering to low-performing students. However, my online friend from Sweden notes that they have such a strong tax culture that social spendings are real. Therefore, a government can use some socialist ideas provided people are willing to work and pay taxes. Altogether, in my opinion, it is not reasonable to suggest that socialism is inherently flawed. Venezuela’s crisis is based on corruption, overreliance on the oil industry, and income inequality. Yet, it would be an overstatement to state that the US does not face these problems, although it does have a diversified economy. As such, socialism does not necessarily lead to ruin – people’s greed and laziness do.
Introduction Despite various efforts to ensure a reduction in mortality rates in poor settings, a lot of women pass away from cases that can easily be prevented. These causes are mainly related to birth and pregnancy. A good number of these deaths are witnessed in the low- and medium-income areas, characterized by poor access to essential resources. Why is Mississippi profiled as the most “pro-life” state? Pro-life states are characterized by maternal deaths, pro-life policies and high teen pregnancy rates. Mississippi can be sidelined using these characteristics comfortably. More specifically, the direct maternal death occurs as a result of a snag in pregnancy, delivery or a combination of both. Indirect maternal death results from pregnancy related death with major causes of death or health complications being totally unrelated to pregnancy (Smith, 2005). The other complications are viewed to be those that were not properly diagnosed as most women do not receive proper medical care. Another problem that with time is seen to affect women and eventually leads to maternal death is reproductive morbidity (Smith, 2005). This problem in most cases affects women before, during and after the childbearing year. Other problems include “tract infections and other pregnancy related diseases which are always given less attention as compared to other main causes of maternal death” (Smith, 2005). Finally, another crucial factor which lead to maternal mortality is adverse energy deficiency. All these factors lead to the existence of pro-life status in Mississippi.  1. List at least one way Pennsylvania’s proposed Abortion Control Act (1989) directly challenged Roe v. Wade:  2. What percent of Mississippi women seeking an abortion travel outside of the state to access a provider?Following the banning of abortions in public hospitals and the subsequent withdrawal of government funding from public hospitals, the Abortion Act, (1989) was greatly affected. The Supreme Court ruled that the genesis of life starts during conception, thereby regarding an abortion of unborn children as a murder. Due to this, almost 24% of women are forced to travel across states to seek abortion services because of the lack of such services in the area they reside in. The pro-life movement has been very active in Mississippi while trying to eradicate abortion clinics (Smith, 2005).  3. What percent of counties in the United States do not have an abortion services provider?  4. Discuss how race, class, and gender inequalities limit reproductive choices for the women in Clarksdale, Mississippi. How does this example tie in with the discussion about “reproductive justice” in the reading? Following human rights activists and pro-life policies, the US has become an enemy to abortion service providers. According to Peat & Barton (2008), about 87% of the states do not harbour abortion service providers. People of lower social-economic status tend to live a sh
