Introduction pH balance is a very important aspect of one’s health and well-being. Important systems in the body depend on the presence of an optimum pH in the body so that the body can function properly. The circulatory, digestive and excretory systems are some of the most body systems that depend on the correct pH to carry out their activities and ensure that the body systems function properly. When acidic or basic levels are out of balance in the body, various systems in the body bring them back to normal (Nesbit, 2012, p 1). Such systems include the respiratory system, the excretory system, and the buffer system. Basic body system as it pertains to pH balance pH refers to the number of Hydrogen ions (H +) in the blood. The normal pH in the blood is usually 7.4. Appropriate pH levels are necessary for the body to ensure that the body systems function properly. Deviation of the pH from the recommended level might result in poor functioning of the body systems which can result in disease and shutdown of organ systems. All organ systems in the body are needed for the body to function properly failure to which an individual might even die. Various organ systems in the body are interconnected and they all carry out important functions in the body. It is precise because of their critical functions in the body that pH levels have to be maintained at a balanced state. All of these body systems are interconnected, and they all depend on the pH system in the blood so that they can function properly. For example, the urinary system is responsible for the removal of waste products of some liquid substances from the body. The urinary system however cannot carry out this function on its own and it requires oxygenated blood to be transported to it by the cardiovascula
Introduction God reveals Himself to humanity through three main ways, namely, His creations, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. In addition, God interacts with humanity using various signs including thunder, fire, and gentle whisper of winds among others. However, human beings feel that these revelations are not enough, thus, they usually try doing everything possible to know more about why God made them. Besides, human beings want to know the will of God as well as His plans for humanity. Furthermore, from the biblical story of creation, God created the universe out of His own free and sovereign will, with an eternal purpose. Therefore, this paper will discuss Christianity and culture dialogue, and more specifically the relationship between humanity and God. God’s Relationship with Humanity From the biblical story of creation, we learnt that God created Adam and Eve and strategically placed them in the Garden of Eden. However, Adam and Eve sinned after eating the forbidden fruit despite having being warned against it by God; this act was an abomination to God’s will. Besides, we can learn that since Adam and Eve only realized the importance of Garden of Eden and other important creations in it after sinning, it is clear that human spirituality and maturity is enhanced through trials and failures that humanity faces in life. Furthermore, God created all human races with flesh and blood; however, He instilled the curse of death after His people disobeyed Him and separated themselves from Him. From the story of biblical creation, we realized that it is very difficult and impossible to know good without knowing evil (Moller 621). In addition, human beings were created in the image and likeness of God in order to resemble the form in which God’s Son Jesus Christ could come to give His life to the sinners and bring salvation to humanity (Holmes 54). Therefore, God intends to restore His relationship with humanity through His Son Jesus Christ, and therefore, it is the obligation of humanity to cement this relationship by only accepting repentance and salvation. This shows that humanity has been given the freedom to make a choice on whether to follow God or not, with the understanding that either option will have opposing consequences – repentance and salvation would bring eternal life while rejection of God would lead to eternal death full of suffering. God’s Purpose of Creating Humanity According to researchers and some scholars, God created humanity in order to serve Him and to love Him (McFadden 928). Others argue that God created humanity with the main aim of getting glory and obedience from human beings. Therefore, it is usually important for humanity to give glory and love to God, since that is what God expects from His people. Again, it is clear that God can work and do His things without the help of humanity while humanity cannot function well without the intervention of God. Thus, it is important for human beings to serve, obey, and glorify God since they were created to do so. Moreover, God created human beings
The economic outlook of the US Government on different companies playing a great role in the country’s stability is also considered with the Big Auto Drive Company. The main stakeholders for it are a tripartite unity of the firm, consumers, and Fed. In this respect, it is vital to mention that the relationships between each of the constituent parts are developing in a direct proportion. Thus, several factors can project increase or decrease of the company activity. The firm and the consumers are interested to achieve some benefits in the flow of relationships. On the other hand, Fed controls such processes by applying stability in the refinancing rate. In terms of high recession marked in 2000 and 2001Big Auto Drive develops its relationships on the interest rates to have more glimpses for making a better provision of its products. In this respect, it is needful for the company to get a credit in the bank with 3-5% per annum for 5 years. On the other hand, the company may have a greater deal if it would take a loan for a year from a 5-year perspective. Such speculation can contribute to the average of interest rates during five years with a rate of a bit more than 5% instead of 25% in the first case. It is a great gain for the company. The data of consumers’ activity and the situation in the exchange market can be pointed out from both the long and the short run. In this case, short-term interest rates are lower than long-term. The yield curve reflects higher interest rates in the future and turn higher exchange rate of a dollar. In this scenario, the company may succeed in importing materials in a period of one or two years, so that not to get higher prices. The rationale according to this may be constructed with the help of the example of Central Banks. Thus, Fed decreases its refinance rate when the market cannot prove the predictions of price changes. Futures in turn can be outlined with more prospects on further upward trends in the picture of interest rates on the whole. Thus, for Big Auto Drive it would be costlier to develop business in the long run. Therefore, the company should be able to provide a financial reserve for its future activity. It is apparent that a buying power determines the rates of consuming the products. In this respect there is a grave reason to underline that interest rates are not essential when the economy is situated in the stage of recovery with effects after recession and high unemployment rates. Though, Big Auto Drive should be quick in getting mortgage at the time. It is vital until the economy shows the marks of consumers’ activity which in return will provoke the growth of interest rates. A higher reading of consummation will project a higher compensation for intere
The stakeholders in Waterloo Regional Police Service and the CIMS Project case study were the police chief Larry Gravill and the individuals that supplied the software. Even though these are the two main stakeholders, there were a variety of others as well. Some of the other people who had a stake and were impacted by this project were the federal government, project, police service civilian employees as users of the Common Information Management System (CIMS), the seven other police agencies involved, and finally, the general public who will ultimately be affected when it comes to the tax revenue. In the end, we will go on and analyze the case in more depth but also talk about the five process groups and how they were applied. In 1997, there were a variety of police services that co-operative in the Waterloo Regional Police Services and CIMS. Niagara, York, Halton, Hamilton, Peel, Durham, Guelph, Stratford, Brantford, and Waterloo were vital participants of the given project, where Larry Gravill served as the key project manager. Mr. Gravill was also the police chief of Waterloo Regional Police until 2007, when he decided to retire. In order for this project to get up and run, they needed vendors; however, that took roughly two years due to the inability to comply with the proposal’s terms. After doing revisions to the proposal, a year later, they finally had a vendor response which was Integrated Technologies Group (ITG). By August 1999, CIMS group and ITG had signed a contract to install a new computer-aided dispatch and records management system. Furthermore, there were significant issues regarding the functional responsibilities of the Federal Government after the principal representative signed the contract. In 1999, “when the original CIMS contract was signed, additional functionality for the RMS system had been federally mandated, and these changes were outside of the scope of the original ITG contract” (2001). It was reported that there were project implementation problems due to the ITG’s failure to deliver the functional system according to the deadline. Numerous changes to the project-specific details and requirement complexity were the primary reasons for non-delivery in December 2003, when the project was supposed to be integrated. Another critical factor was that the manager of the project had other responsibilities. Thus, he was not able to devote himself to this task (Movold, 2001) fully. Secondly, the company never truly thought through the funding aspect of the project. They were relying on grants from the federal government, which fell through and prohibited any action due to the lack of funds. When it came to the CAD system, there were many changes that had to be made. Two of the most significant changes were increasing the compounding cost of the project and making a change to the CPIC. The agreement with Integrated Technologies Group (ITG) was canceled in 2005. However, there were several successful actions taken in order to integrate the CIMS project. For instance, Niche Technology and Versaterm were the key companies that were providing RMS solutions in the Canadian market beginning f
Introduction The threat of terrorism is always present with us, especially after the historic attacks on September 11, 2001, in the United States that showed the world that terrorists can strike when least expected. Extremist groups who want for religious or political reasons have mainly used the calculated use of violence to cause widespread destruction in various parts of the world. Therefore, to curb this threat, the United States and its allies have initiated an international military campaign referred to as the War on Terrorism. However, it is important to note that this war can be ‘won’ only if workable strategies are adopted. Terrorism To obliterate acts of terrorism from the face of this planet, the U.S. and its allies must start to think clearly on how victory on the war would look like. Success will only come when the U.S. and its allies have triumphed in discrediting the philosophy of the terror organizations and weakening all the sources that offer assistance to their illicit activities. These accomplishments, in sequence, will oblige the parties involved to acknowledge that the threat of terrorism cannot be utterly eliminated and that acting as though it can in a limited period will only make the pro
Leaders can rely on different strategies in order to influence people who work with them. Their authority can be derived from different sources such as expertise, the ability to reward or punish, personal characteristics, and so forth (Jones & George, 2006). This paper is aimed at discussing such a person as Khalaf Al Habtoor who is renowned for his achievements in various business fields. Apart from that, he is famous for philanthropic activities and attempts to promote peace in the Middle East. Overall, it is possible to argue that he relies primarily on referent, expert, and reward powers in order to shape the behavior of other people. To a great extent, the combination of these methods is more likely to bring successful results because followers can feel more committed to the goals set by the leader. This example should be considered by people who want to act as decision-makers in various businesses. These are the main details should be discussed more closely. At first, one should speak about referent power which is usually based on the respect that colleagues and co-workers have for a leader. As a rule, referent power takes its origins in the personal qualities of this individual (Jones & George, 2006). In many cases, he/she is perceived as a role model. This argument is particularly relevant if one speaks about Khalaf Al Habtoor. One should keep in mind that this person can be described as a self-made man who achieved prominence without relying on the assistance of influential and affluent relatives or friends. This attribute is usually valued by other people who believe that the ideas of a leader are worth considering. Apart from that, one should keep in mind that he is actively engaged in philanthropy. This behavior usually increases the moral weight of the arguments made by a leader. Apart from that, Khalaf Al Habtoor is known for his openness and integrity. This character trait is also valued by workers because they clearly understand the expectations of a leader. Thus, Khalaf Al Habtoor’s authority is primarily derived for his character traits. Other people, who play a prominent role in different business fields, also rely on their referent power in order to influence the behavior of their followers. This is one of the points that should be considered by people who intend to act as leaders in various organizations. Additionally, it is important to mention that Khalaf Al Habtoor relies on the expert power. This notion means that a person has in-depth expertise in a certain field. Therefore, other people believe that he/she has the sufficient experience and knowledge to make infor
Introduction Socrates is one of the greatest philosophers known in the modern history whose work impacted on various areas of knowledge, from metaphysics, to philosophy, and even religion. Scholars have considered him one of the founding fathers of the abstract reasoning in the modern world. The works of this great philosopher is well documented in the works of Plato, who was one of his best students. Klein (1989) says, “Plato’s dialogues are among the most comprehensive accounts of Socrates to survive from antiquity.” Plato compiled this information in the form of dialogue to bring out the information in its most authentic form. Plato believed that presenting the teachings in the form of dialogues was the best way of documenting the teachings of Socrates for the benefit of the future generations. The teachings of Socrates to Plato closely relates to the modern day classroom teaching and learning. An analysis of Socrates-Theaetetus dialogue and other dialogues with Meno, Lysis, and Phaedrus reveals that Socrates teachings were full of satire, dialogue, and rhetorical questions. These three factors formed the basis of his teachings as a way of evoking abstract reasoning from his students. It also helped in developing a philosophical reasoning among the learners. Socrates had the capacity of making words that appear simple in meaning become ambiguous philosophically. This approach of teaching forms the basis of the modern day classroom teaching and learning. This research paper is a reflection on the Socrates-Theaetetus dialogue and hot it relates to the modern day classroom teaching and learning. Discussion Socrates great teachings and philosophies are presented in the works of Plato. Waterfield (2005) says, “Through his portrayal in Plato’s dialogues, Socrates has become renowned for his contribution to the field of ethics, and it is this Platonic Socrates who lends his name to the concepts of Socratic irony and the Socratic Method, or elenchus.” The Platonic Socrates, as presented in the Socratic dialogues, clearly demonstrates that Plato had a massive impact on the modern day teaching environment. Plato authored thirty-six Socratic dialogues and about 13 letters to present the works of this great philosopher. In this research paper, a few of these dialogues will be analyzed in order to determine how they relate to the modern day classroom teaching and learning. Theaetetus Dialogue and How it Relates to Modern Day Classroom Teaching and Learning In Plato’s Socratic dialogues, Theaetetus was one of the best students of Socrates. In this dialogue, Socrates is discussing three main definitions of knowledge with Theaetetus. As Klein (1989) records, this dialogue defines knowledge as “Nothing but perception, knowledge as a t
Introduction It seems strange, ridiculous and even horrifying that in the age of humanism and tolerance such problems of the past as racism, discrimination and segregation are still actual. Being childhood illnesses of humanity, these taints should have been forgotten. However, there are obvious facts proving that unfortunately, it is very keen issue nowadays and society has to do something with it. One of the men stressing the problem of racism was William Edward Burghardt Du Bois. Famous American sociologist and civil right activist, he was trying to draw peoples attention to this issue, insisting on the prohibition of racisms manifestations in the twentieth century. He devoted his book The Souls of Black Folk to this question. In this work he tries to outline the problem and trace it on the background of the history of the USA. African Americans face discrimination since their childhood and only some sort of consolidation can help to reduce it. African Americans Discrimination From the first lines of the introduction of the book it is easy to guess that the author is very affected by this problem, asking the reader to pay a great attention to this issue as he is trying to describe the great problem of society. Recognition of the problem comes with the authors description of his first realization of him being different “It is in the early days of rollicking boyhood that the revelation first bursts upon one, all in a day, as it were.” (Du Bois 886). Even children are infected with this disease and this fact makes things even worse. Children are the mirror of society and the worse they act the worse situation is. Horrible recognition of being different strikes a child and newer leaves him until the end of his life. The whole history of African Americans relations with other people can be taken as the struggle “to attain self-conscious manhood, to merge his double self into a better and truer self” (Du Bois 887). It can be easily understood that white society still continues to humiliate black people while stating equal rights with them. African Americans have the right for education however they are still offered low skilled jobs. The situation has not changed greatly since our past. The author also gives some facts and ideas about black populations strife for its rights, especially pointing out the person of Booker T. Washington. His figure cannot be overestimated as he gave some slight hope for black people in America, being some kind of a leader which was able to lead people for their better future. However, ambivalent character of his actions can be seen. “His doctrine has tended to make the whites, North and South, sh
Introduction Jean Watson’s theory of human caring is focused on the relational processes in which health care workers engage with patients and their families. The central conceptual elements of Watson’s argument are creative factors, transpersonal caring relationships, and caring occasion or a caring moment (Pajnkiha, Štiglic & Vrbnjak, 2017). The human caring theory is based on the assumption that caring occurs only when there is a heart-to-heart connection between a healthcare worker and a patient. The core concepts of the framework include a relational caring for oneself and others, creating a meaningful human-to-human transaction, practicing consciousness and reflection, as well as kindness and equanimity, and inclusive and circular care. The Nursing Metaparadigm The given theory may be applied to the nursing metaparadigm regarding its main concepts. In the human caring theory, a person has a high value and deserves to be respected, assisted, and cared for. According to Watson, a person can expand his or her healing power and gain great experience through caring occasions (Nikfarid, Hekmat, Vedad, & Rajabi, 2018). Watson’s theory attaches great importance to a healing and caring environment created by a nurse. Therefore, a nurse is an external factor that is to provide a patient with empathy and care. Watson views he
