Communication can be defined as the process of relaying information with the purpose of creating meaning (Samovar, Porter & McDaniel, 2009). Therefore, effective communication refers to relaying information to achieve the intended objective. There are various techniques that an organization can apply to ensure communication is effective, whether communicating internally or externally. Some of these techniques were used by Rehab Center and they include: Participation technique whereby employees are included in decision making. This is particularly critical in communication to the external environment which includes current and potential customers, prospective and current partners such as suppliers. For instance before communicating Rehab Center’s vision and mission, the employees were first involved in the development such that they were proud of the organization and acted in ways that communicate the mission and vision. The second one is using appropriate mode, whereby the communicator ensures that the mode chosen is appropriate for the message to be relayed. For instance some modes are suitable for personal information only, for instance an evaluation of the performance of Rehab’s employee was sent through letters. Particularly because if posted on a memo then the employee whose performance was below expectation and improvement is required may not react appropriately due to embarrassment (HR magazine, 2008). Thirdly there is two-way communication which is important because if the Manager of Rehab Center only gives instructions and does not receive feedback from his subjects, then employees might not act as instructed probably for lack of clarification or motivation as they will be feeling suppressed. Honestly acting on feedback can also help in effective communication and sharing of ideas. For instance if the leadership asks for workers’ opinions and incorporates them in decision making, then the employees will always be willing to communicate anything that they feel is important for the company’s success (Guffey, Rogin, & Rhodes, 2009). Lastly promptness and flexibility can ensure effective communication whereby incase of crisis communication is done to put everyone in the light. Additionally, flexibility will promote sharing of information where if one has crucial information he can present it to the party concerned depending on the urgency. One ineffective way of communication is where an organization uses only top-bottom communication, whereby orders come from above and they should not be questioned. Another ineffective way is promoting hierarchical orders over teamwork for this kills trust which is essential for communication and sharing. Application of the Techniques in Healthcare Sector Though in the medical sector there are a lot of protocols, interdepartmental meetings can be used for the various departments can share information on how they can cooperate. In addition, participation can help the nurses, physicians and the other employees will agree on the picture they will present to their external environment. Through
Rituals are an important part of cultural traditions established in various countries or regions. It is believed that they include two important elements, namely, aesthetics and playfulness. However, one can also argue that joy plays an important role in various rites. In particular, they enable a person to experience moments during which this individual can feel that he/she is a part of something successful or great. This is the main thesis that should be elaborated in greater detail. This essay is aimed at discussing such an event as the Saudi National Day that is celebrated in various parts of the country on 23 September. In this case, the feeling of joy takes its origins in such aspects as the sense of belonging as well as pride, emotional reunion with close friends or relatives, and deviation from the established routine. These are the main questions that should be examined more closely. First, one should note that such holidays are usually aimed at showing that a certain nation has achieved political independence, self-sufficiency as well as peace. There are several aspects which are important for joy. This experience originates from the sense of belonging to a group or community that has achieved prosperity, success, or harmony. One can say that such events produce a change in the identities of individuals or groups. In turn, at such moments, a person tends to associate this success with one’s actions or character traits. This is one of the details that are important for understanding the origins of contentment that people can experience during such holidays. Thus, it is possible to say that joy is closely related to pride for one’s own country. Certainly, national holidays are not the only moments when people can feel this pride, but this experience is much stronger in various rituals. One should also remember that the National Day is a chance to showcase the peculiarities of the national identity to the representatives of other cultures. It should be noted that Saudi Arabia is frequently visited by a great number of foreigners who can get a better idea about the customs and traditions of this country. Hence, such events play an important role in the life of groups and individuals. They want to underline their uniqueness, and this opportunity can also give rise to joy because individuals often want other people to appreciate their achievements or successes. Therefore, national holidays are critical for people’s awareness of their cultural identity, and this awareness can also be a source of joy or fulfillment. This is why this aspect should not be overlooked. Similarly, individuals can feel joy if they believe that they contribute to the strength of this national community. Therefore, one should not forget about the celebrations that are organized by the Saudi defense troops. As a rule, t
A Short Introduction into the World of Media: An Overview of the Current Trends Feminism is over. There are no ways to go back to the initial idea of feminism, which were extremely radical in their nature and aimed at too many issues at the same time. However, with the advent of new era, with its ideas of democracy, new technological advances and new social roles for men and women to perform, new ideas concerning the perception of women in the society emerged. Intertwined with other popular trends in the new mass media, both the new feminist concepts and their chauvinistic antipodes have come into the light, giving much food for thought.  1. Male feminism Weirdly enough, the idea of female liberation has also started gaining support among men. Paradoxically enough, in the world where sexism is no more something out of the ordinary, more men accept feminist ideas. Perhaps, the given phenomenon takes place due to a less radical approach and less uncompromising goals of post-feminist (Genz, 2006).  1. Post-feminism One of the most ambiguous phenomena of the epoch, post-feminism is not easy to define. Spawned by the attempts to revive the mid-90ies feminist movement, the given phenomenon can be defined by the term “equality.” However, the true meaning of the term is still obscure, which must be the reason for its inefficiency in the XXI century. As Holmlund put it, “Periodically promoted in magazines, debated on talk shows, and paraded in newspapers, “chick” postfeminism entails a backlash against or a dismissal of the desirability for equality between women and men, in the workforce and in the family” (Holmlund, 2005, 116).  1. Mass consumption The susceptibility of the target audience to everything that media throws at them, mass consumption leads to drastic effects, Manovich (2009) claims.  1. Chauvinist Internet memes Though they might seem funny at first, Internet memes like Women’s logic or Women serve their purpose to destroy a positive image of an independent and intelligent woman (Klos, 2013). Women’s logic (2013). Retrieved from https://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/317/295/0db.jpg Women (2013). Retrieved from http://www.tarveracademy.com/tyler  1. Commodity feminism Another disturbing phenomenon, commodity feminism means that feminism is used for the purposes other than feminism itself, mostly commercial purposes (Gill, 2012).  1. Children sexualization By far the most controversial aspect of the negative effects of consumerism is the lowering of the age of girls being introduced to the stereotypical image of a sexual icon and encouraging them to follow the given stereotype without questioning its reasonability or the meaning behind it. According to the recent reports, “This century has witnessed the
Introduction The emergence of sports competitions such as athletics and biking instigated the use of performance-enhancing substances to increase the probability of winning. It was not until 1968 that the testing of athletes for the use performance-enhancing drugs began. As a result, doping has been banned by enacting stiff penalties to deal with the problem. Nevertheless, with the most competitive sports attracting high incentives and coveted awards, the problem has only intensified in recent years as the users focus on gaining a competitive edge. The ideology of doping promotes unfairness. To tackle the menace, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and World Anti-doping Agency (WADA) prepare and update a list of the banned substances annually. Sports participants commonly use tranquilizers, steroids, liquor, and diuretics, among other stimulants to boost their performances. Other drugs, such as peptide and antagonistic hormones, together with their modulators, are also frequently used amongst players (Kisaalita and Michael 44). The motives and objectives of doping in sports are guided by the personality traits and behavior of the people involved. The public expects individuals to apply socially accepted methods to achieve success. Deviating from this expectation attracts a penalty from the society that prescribes the norms and values that govern various sports activities. For this reason, the IOC and WADA have stringent prescriptions concerning the behavior of the participants in sports. Breaking the rules is deemed as deviance. As a result, various types of punishments are applicable to drug users. History of Doping Behavior During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, cycling gained popularity as the game extended the limits of the human body (Kisaalita and Michael 45). Since then, riders have been shown to use all sorts of stimulants such as strychnine and amphetamines, especially in tough races that are characterized by long and exhaustive cycling hours. Substantial evidence reveals that bike cycling is commonly faced with the use of performance-enhancing drugs (PED). Such competitions attract high-end prizes, among other incentives that comprise the fundamental reasons for doping. There have been sporting scandals pertaining to performance drugs since the 1990s. For example, on the eve of Tour de France in 1998, a team assistant for the top-ranked Festina team was intercepted along the French and Belgian border, transiting a truckload of performance-enhancing products. This scandal sparked a massive crackdown and robust anti-doping campaign in the world of sports. The society was highly blamed for failing to nurture ethical and responsible completion practices. Doping is a shared problem that arose from socialization processes. Research has found that the culprits of PED acquire unacceptable practices from peers in either school and/or street competitions, among other places. The IOC, among other anti-doping campaigners, posits that tackling the addressing at such places is a sound move towards alleviation of the menace. The consequences of doping are inevitably undesirabl
Introduction The United Arab Emirates (UAE) consists of 7 Emirates, namely, Ajman, Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Umm al-Quwain, Ras al-Khaimah, and Fujairah (Abu Dhabi Government, 2012). Commercial exploitation owing to a burgeoning human population, along with extremes of heat has combined to put a strain on the environment. This has now threatened the marine environment, wildlife, and the human population as well. The UAE government treats the issue of environmental sustainability with a lot of seriousness. As a way of affirming its seriousness in addressing environmental issues, the UAE government has assumed the crucial responsibility of sponsoring massive campaigns aimed at promoting green projects in tall of the seven Emirate states of the UAE. One of these environmental sustainability projects that have received the support of the UAE government is Masdar City, located in the UAE. The essay below aims to research the Masdar City with a view to determining its aims and objectives, vision and mission, as well as the kind of impact that it would have on society, the environment, and the people of Abu Dhabi. Specifically, the research shall seek to explore the major benefits that the project hopes to achieve the economy and in creating an eco-friendly environment. Finally, the researcher shall also endeavor to evaluate the project in terms of credit worthiness to society and its relevance if established. The UAE government happens to be the main s
Help for diffuse family members’ anger when they think no one is listening to them or responding to their concerns In the case of a family member’s anger, it is crucial for healthcare personnel to maintain behaviors that will aid in diffusing anger. For instance, it will be my pleasure to portray calmness and a caring attitude to the angry clients by listening to them and taking part in solving their problems. Although challenging, I will appreciate taking responsibility for the problems that led to their anger and apologize on the behalf of other healthcare officials. Additionally, I will acknowledge their feelings by not only leveling myself to them but also communicating with them freely. I will also try to show my sincere concern by restating their problems when communicating to understand their main problem. I will also employ the tactic of restating their problems in capturing their attention and interest. In case they need to talk to specific individuals in the health center, it will be a pleasure to get him or her in time in order to enhance the diffusion of their anger. In case their problem is associated with the death of a loved one, I will take it into the heart and try as much as possible to console them. Having employed all these, I am convinced in not only meeting their demands but also diffusing their anger amicably. Responding to an assigned preceptor who verbally stated that he did not really want the job and had no time to help a brand new nurse on a busy floor? Nursing as a profession is so involved, it requires a clinical experience. The majority of the people experience had times when working as nurses for the first time. To avoid making mistakes, new nurses require additional guidance from an identified preceptor in a health center. Usually, preceptors are more knowledgeable than nurses. Most of them undergo extensive training in educational institutions before being employed in health centers. Th
The article “Variables explaining functional recovery following motor stroke” is written by Janice Hinkle and published in the Journal of Neuroscience Nursing. It is a descriptive study that focuses on the parents who receive treatment after motor stroke. The purpose of this article is to give the health care providers and researchers who work in this sphere authoritative data on the importance of “motor strength, lesion volume, age, cognitive status, and post-stroke functional level” and their connection with functional recovery of patients who are recovering after the motor stroke (Hinkle 7). The author claims that during the fast-paced acute phase of healthcare the medical practitioners should include the cognitive assessment when they deal with the patients who recently had a motor stroke. The paper deals with the recovery of function in the patients who suffered from the stroke and were at the rehabilitation or had just finished one. The study includes one independent and five dependent variables. Independent variable:   * Patients who are dealing with the process of recovery after the motor stroke. Dependent variables:   * Age (all participants were about 65 years old);   * Lesion volume (approximately 21.5 cm3 according to the magnetic resonance imaging);   * Motor strength (about 6.34 according to the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale);   * Cognition (the Mini-Mental State Examination showed the results of about 24.38 while the Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination – 64.33);   * Post-stroke function (was evaluated with the help of the Functional Independence Measure and turned out to be about 94.05) (Hinkle 7). Initially, 107 patients were chosen for the study. Still, 100 individuals were enrolled, and 10 of them left the research before the results were gained. This study was “submitted to and received approval from the institutional review boards and access committees of the two hospitals from which participants were selected” (Hinkle 8). To support her ideas, Janice Hinkle refers to more than forty reliable sources, which are the peer reviewed articles written at the end of 19 th and the beginning of 20 th centuries. To make her own calculations valid, she applied average results mentioning that the data varies (for, example ± 13 years). The information was collected with the help of CT, MRI, MMSE, NCSE, NIHSS and FIM results and evaluated by descriptive statistics. The implications are suggested for the professionals who are going to deal with the patients after the motor stroke, especially for those who will assess them. It is also of advantage for nursing education, as the student will get to know how to treat this group of patients. As there are recommendations for the further research, the
Introduction The contemporary sphere of systematic trading is a dynamic environment that is influenced by emerging trends in the financial industry and responds to changes in the political, economic, and social sectors. In this regard, specific difficulties appear, which pose risks for the parties involved and create potential opportunities for reorganization. In particular, hedge funds, which are investor partnerships, are often associated with the difficulties of safeguarding assets in an unstable market situation. As an example of challenges that can be transformed into strategically successful improvement mechanisms, investment risks and the lack of appropriate regulation can be mentioned. Challenges in the Systematic Trading Industry Traditionally, hedge funds are considered high-risk and unstable investment tools. The desires to safeguard assets and distribute financial resources are reasonable and natural, but in conditions of economic fluctuations, threats to investments arise. In particular, a narrowly targeted investment strategy can potentially lead to enormous losses due to changes in market trends or other shifts that entail the redistribution of roles in the financial industry. Hespeler and Loiacono (2017) note that if only one tactical development scheme is adhered to, investors may not expect an impending failure or another unstable situation, for instance, the historically significant crisis of 2007. This, in turn, is fraught with the loss of positions and a decrease in the value of funds. Even a balanced work program may be ineffective due to increased volatility and falling demand for specific goods or services in which significant funds have been invested. Therefore, even sustainable market participants should take into account such a potential challenge. Another significant risk is the insufficiently effective regulation of the trading industry. Despite the fact that many participants in this market seek to distance themselves from control boards and create individually functioning projects, the absence of an appropriate regulatory mechanism may affect the situation in the financial industry adversely. In particular, competition among individual funds and programs may be conditional since large market participants have potentially higher opportunities and prospects for strengthening their businesses. According to Hespeler and Loiacono (2017), the monitoring of risks by the responsible authorities can have a positive effect on the access system to trading and different stakeholders’ development perspectives. At the same time, due to trends in the market economy and globalization, responsible agencies find it difficult to organize a reliable and effective control program. Thus, high investment risks and the lack of productive regulation are potentially significant challenges in the modern systemic trading industry. Significance of the Mentioned Challenges The significance of the aforementioned challenges lies in an opportunity to secure the trading industry through relevant reorganization measures
When the National Socialists received the power in 1933 they were inclined to change all the aspects of the social, political, and cultural life in Germany according to the Nazi specific ideals. These changes were rather painful for the society. They were also associated with those attacks which were directed against the examples of different kinds of modern art. The notion of ‘degenerate art’ became typical for determining those art pieces which were too modern and unique to be accepted by the Nazis. However, what art can be considered as degenerate? To understand the differences between the pieces of the classical and degenerate art, it is necessary to compare two artworks with paying much attention to their peculiarities. The notion of ‘degenerate art’ became familiar to the public in 1937 when the Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art) exhibition was opened in Munich. 650 art pieces including paintings, sculptures, and books were exhibited there in order to show those works which reject the idea of the perfect German art associated with the Nazi ideology (Barron). The main feature which combined all these pieces was their development as the examples of the modern art which did not follow the principles of the Nazi ideology and, thus, such art was considered as inappropriate or ‘un-German’. It is significant that the whole art movements such as Cubism, Expressionism, Dada, and Surrealism became forbidden because they did not reflect the reality of the Nazi regime. Moreover, not only modern art was rejected but also the Bolshevist and Jew art (Petropoulos). Thus, what peculiarities of the modern art which were not accepted by the Nazis are important to focus on? The Nazis’ main task was to make all the aspects of people’s everyday life advantageous for providing the necessary propaganda. German culture was a significant element of forming the consciousness of real German people. That is why it was important to concentrate on such art pieces which could not provoke the person’s thinking, but only help to provide the control under his consciousness. The strict rules according to which the German people’s life is organized should be everywhere including the sphere of art. That is why the conceptual works of modern art which evoke people’s emotions and make them think originally are considered as dangerous, as a result of people’s mental illnesses (Barron). The German society should be healthy, and the German art should be understandable. Thus, t
