A Constructive Health Situation The movie “The Vow” narrates the story of Leo and Paige Collins. Leo and Paige are involved in a grisly accident. A truck hits their vehicle from behind. The two are rushed to an Emergency Ward (EW). The doctors give the best medical support to these two patients. However, the doctors realize that Paige has lost her memory after the accident. She is unable to remember anything about her past life. Paige meets her parents for the first time after very many years ( The Vow ). She does not understand why she married Leo. She seems not to understand why she was not living with her parents. This accident affects Paige’s life. She is also unable to achieve her goals in life. This situation explains she finds herself in need of the best health support ( The Vow ). Leo supports Paige so that she can regain her memory. This video presents a constructive health situation. This is the case because medical care should be a holistic practice. Paige requires the best support in order to remember everything about her past life ( The Vow ). Healing should focus on the physical, mental, psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the targeted patient ( The Vow). Paige’s husband fulfills most of her emotional and psychological needs. Although Paige collaborates with different individuals, it becomes impossible for her to recall her past. This film presents powerful practices that can support the needs of many patients ( The Vow ). The film also identifies some gaps that made it impossible for Paige to regain her memory. Paige’s nurses and doctors failed to support her needs after she was discharged from the hospital. Family members should support every patient throughout his or her healing process. Applying Some Aspects of Health Communication After Paige loses her memory, her caregivers encourage every family member to continue supporting her health needs. The doctors encourage every person to help Paige until she regains her memory. The doctors also use the best health communication processes . Paige also decides to interact with different people in the society ( The Vow ). This practice makes it easier for Paige to understand the issues surrounding her life. She also gets the best support from different individuals in the community ( The Vow ). She begins a journey of remembrance with the best support from different people. Medical practitioners should use the best strategies in order to support the changing health needs of their patients. The concept of social support is evident in this film. Leo works hard in order to fulfill Paige’s needs and expectations. Leo does not confront or abuse Paige. He also uses the best caring practices in order to support Paige’s needs. He also encourages his wife to focus on her goals. This practice makes it easier for Paige to regain her memory ( The Vow ). The issue of health communication can also produce the best outcomes. Caregivers should cooperate, mentor, communicate, and encourage their patients ( The Vow ). This practice will eventually support the h
Description Topics: Hopes and dreams as a foundation for success; desperation that comes if hopes and dreams are not brought into life. Main plot: Among the primary characters of the work is Juan Preciado. He searches for his father and unintentionally turns to be in Komala’s afterlife, as well as get acquainted with ones who have identical hopes and suffering. The second plotline is dedicated to the life and death of the mentioned father – Pedro Paramo – his omnipotence and powerlessness, as well as love, detestation, and desolation. Plots’ description: There are two main storylines in the novel that congregate and break up in reality. Then, in the afterlife, they split into detached and unconnected events, dialogues, and monologues. They provide a complicated kaleidoscope of seemingly disparate texts that do not have an apparent beginning or end. The characters in the novel do not at all descend into the underworld after death. They live in Comala – the Kingdom of the Dead (Rulfo 60); meanwhile, common issues of everyday routine are preserved within it. The work’s structure: The order of events is split in this novel, and sometimes it is not easy to discern. At first, all these events are depicted, and then elaborated to a greater extent. Valuation General valuation: The novel is an artistic revelation in both Hispanic-language prose and world literature. In this work, the author utilized the traits of menippea – a literary genre that presents a descent into the afterlife (Durix 80). It came from the profounds of antiquity, which the author transferred into an entirely Mexican context. The work itself is founded on the mental state of Mexican peasants and on the mystery carnival grotesque position towards death. Literary valuation: The rare artistic gift of the author and his exceptionally Mexican perception allow him to provide an absolutely new version of menippea with his own extent of symbolism. His novel is characterized by a specificity example for this genre, with clever use of artistic remedies from the resources of realistic and surrealist literature. There are specific emotional richness and an emphasized interosculation of life and death. Commercial valuation: The novel can become a world treasure because it is written intelligibly and can open up a whole new world of Latin American literature and become its full-scale pioneer for the world community because it is aimed at the broadest audience – commercial success is almost guaranteed. Relationship with other books: In his works, Rulfo provides psychological and life occasions that define people’s fates, still not deviating from the basic features of the traditional-realistic approach. Nevertheless, it is the first case in the national literary art, when the author advances Mexican peasants’ speeches to a high artistic degree (D’Lugo 471). There are nor Mexican nor Latin American writers before this author who was able to reveal – with such an approach – the inner world of a person and its relation to the definiteness of destiny. Rulfo’s many-voiced and multidimensional stories are like sketch
We live in the age of financial frauds. Income statement and revenue manipulation has become a common instrument of generating profits. Companies either fail to comply with the basic financial reporting standards or consciously violate them. Recent corporate scandals in America suggest that businesses lack effective procedures to prevent financial fraud. Auditors have long been regarded as a reliable protection against financial frauds. External audit functions were developed to help organisations and businesses detect and eliminate the risks of unethical financial behaviours. This however is no longer the case: only a well-developed internal audit function, as well as changes in corporate governance and culture, can secure businesses from the risks of financial crime. At the beginning of 2011, BASF published a new external auditors’ report. KPMG AG, the organisation responsible for auditing BASF, presented the results of the recent financial analysis (BASF, 2011). The documents checked by external auditors included the balance sheet and income statement, statement of recognised income and expense, the development in stockholder’s equity form, cash flow statement, and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (BASF, 2011). The audit was conducted in compliance with the generally accepted standards of financial audit and §317 German commercial code (BASF, 2011). According to the auditors’ report, the audit included assessing the annual financial statements of those entities includes in consolidation, the determination of entities to be included in consolidation, the accounting and consolidation principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statement and Management’s Analysis. (BASF, 2011) No serious violations were detected, and the auditor decided that BASF gave a fair view of its assets and financial situation (BASF, 2011). However, the case of BASF raises a number of issues, including the relevance of the external audit function and its implications for financial security in business. Auditors have long been regarded as a reliable protection against financial frauds (Jamal, 2008). This however is no longer the case. Financial fraud is management fraud, and misbehaviors are part of the human condition (Jamal, 2008). External auditors used to give firms a sense of confidence and provide comfort to shareholders worried about their investments and earnings. Having outside members on the board of directors was found to significantly r
Jonas is a fellow student who I met after joining college. He is very smart and has interesting philosophies. He came from the southern part of the country where he grew up on a farm. Later on, he moved to the city where he attended high school. In a philosophy class where each of us gave opinions on certain topics, I found him to be particularly interesting. His opinions were based on his religious beliefs. According to Jonas, when we die, we go to either the Heaven or the ell. However, this is usually predestined. Therefore, he is of the opinion that when someone is born, he/she has a tag of either Heaven or Hell. This predicament thereby nullifies all our actions while being on earth. Jonas claims that all people are assigned with this status at birth. He claims that his opinion does not reflect views of any particular religion but reflect his opinion on the afterlife. Jonas claims that he does not believe that an individual’s actions determine whether they go to Heaven or Hell. Instead, a person’s predestination dictates his/her actions here on earth. This means that the things people find themselves doing in their day-to-day life are in order. For instance, those people who are doing what may be considered as bad things are just following their predestined path. According to Jonas, all people serve as teachers to their fellow human beings. This means that whatever their situation is, it is meant to teach people a lesson. This means that a person’s good or bad situations educate others in a certain way. For instance, he provided an example of someone who was struggling against drug addiction. While this was a problem to that person, it educated the rest of the people on the dangers of drug use. Jonas’ opinions were very well articulated and the examples he gave were very relevant. His opinions were on matters of religion. As a fan of religious philosophy and a believer of Heaven and Hell, I found Jonas opinions very interesting. His claim that our actions here on earth are null, seems to be very farfetched. According to him, our predestined path determines what we do. These claims, however, made me think about the way people are always trying to be good people. While some of them achieve it easily, others have no success. This might mean that people who embark on doing good things do so because it is easy for them. This can be interpreted to mean that they are predestined to be good people. The same applies to those people who are struggling to be good people, they are predestined to be bad, and they cannot change it. My opinion though is that our actions determine whether we go to Heaven or ell and not the other way around. However, his philosophy about all human being subjects was moving. It made sense to think that whenever someone is faces insurmoun

The company is classified as a service sector organization that offers healthier foods as a replacement of pizza and hamburgers, which have been linked to problems such as obesity. Its main goals entail producing customized foods that meet clients’ tastes and preferences. The company has experienced continuous growth since its inception in 1965. Its operational environment is competitive. Many organizations, which pose a threat of substitution, influence its strategic decisions. The company has the potential to secure long-term success considering that its strategy of focusing on healthy fast foods aligns well with the growing consumer attention to the consumption of low-calorie foods. Introduction Subway is a US incorporated organization that operates in the fast-food industry. Mainly concentrating on sea sandwiches, the company expands through the area monopoly strategy. Doctor’s Associate Inc. not only owns the fast-food supply chain, but also operates it. Subway constitutes one of the first growing single brands across the globe. As at the end of 2014, the organization had an excess of 43,000 different outlets in over 108 operational territories (Covert & Gibson, 2015). The company’s central offices are situated in Connecticut. Different operations centers support the functionalities of the company. Rationale for Selecting Subway Subway operates in a highly aggressive fast-food industry that has giants such as McDonald’s and Yum Food Company, which are constantly changing their growth and operational strategies to derive their competitive advantage from their people. The process of analyzing the effective operational strategies of an organization, which can be deployed as a benchmark, is well accomplished by considering an organization that operates in a highly competitive environment. This assertion forms the rationale behind the selection of Subway as the company on which to base the analysis. Indeed, it is interesting to identify why Subway remains such a successful single brand across the globe, considering that its competitors have been engaging in business partnerships to secure long-term business success
Introduction Monsanto Company – SWOT Analysis considers Monsanto’s major business structure and processes, and gives summary analysis of its main income avenues and strategies. Thus in forecasting the internal environmental analysis of the company’s operations it’s essential to look at the SWOT analysis. The report provides a 3 year (2011, 2012 and 2013) forecast about the internal environmental analysis of the company. It emphasis on the strengths and weaknesses the company faces going forward. Executive Summary Monsanto Company is a U.S.-based producer and distributor of agricultural products. Monsanto together with its subsidiaries is a worldwide provider of chemical products to farmers and genetically modified crops. Monsanto is among the world’s biggest seed companies, distributing approximately 25 percent of the proprietary seed market. It monopolize the seed supply for several strategic crops, including 90 percent of U.S. soybeans, 80 percent of both corn and cotton crops.

Although that the major market of Monsanto produce is
The Enemy Cholera is an infectious disease caused by Vibrio cholera. The comma-shaped bacillus bacterium thrives in aquatic environments and brackish water where it is found attached to crustaceans (Desselberger 2000). Vibrio cholera colonies thrive under conditions of low salinity and warm temperatures in estuaries, where they occur in the silt in a non-active form. Halpern et al. (2007), using the FISH technique, found that egg masses of midges harbor Vibrio cholera bacteria. In all these cases, this bacterium causes no infection to the organisms in the environment; it becomes dangerous only when it enters the human system that becomes infectious. The Defense Cholera is a non-inflammatory condition; it does not damage the mucosa of the small intestines. However, acute cholera can cause over-secretion of cytokines, such as interleukins, which cause inflammation of the intestinal mucosa (Satcher 2005). This leads to accumulation of neutrophils in the mucosa as an innate immune response to inflammation. Polymorphism in the LPLUNC1 gene, which is associated with increased susceptibility to cholera, increases the risk of infection (Satcher 2005). By contrast, adaptive immune responses to the bacterium are unknown. However, as V. cholera is a non-inflammatory microbe, high levels of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) in serum offer protection against re-exposure to the pathogen (Satcher 2005). The intestinal slgA remains detectable in the blood for up to one year after infection by Vibrio cholera . The War Vibrio cholera, the microbe that causes cholera, normally completes its natural life cycle in estuarine ecology. Organisms, such as crustaceans, aquatic plankton and snails as well as silt in the estuary, mediate its life cycle (Nelson et al 2009). Vibrio cholera enters the digestive system of humans through the ingestion of contaminated water or food. Contaminated food, particularly seafood like crabs and oysters, when eaten raw, is another source of cholera infection. Also, Vibrio cholera can be ingested through contaminated drinking water, vegetables or fruits. The bacterium is often transmitted from one person to another through ingestion of food or water contaminated with feces containing the bacteria (Nelson et al 2009). Once ingested, the bacteria multiply rapidly and produce toxins that stimulate secretion of electrolytes in the intestines leading to severe diarrhea and vomiting. Vibrio cholera in the intestines is excreted with each diarrhea to the environment, hence rapidly spreading to other people and resulting in an outbreak. The Casualty Cholera infections are often asymptomatic; however, within 1 to 5 days following an infection, patients show symptoms of severe diarrhea and vomiting. Dehydration and leg cramps also occur in some people due to loss of water through diarrhea (Slifko, Smith & Rose 2000). Dehydrated patients show signs of low blood pressure, weight loss and dry skin. The Victory Cholera diagnosis is recommended for patients with severe diarrhea and dehydration. Laboratory diagnosis techniques include stool PCR, gram staining and microscopy (Slifko, Smith & Rose 2000). Treatment involves the use of
Author’s Note This literature review aims to present insights for research on the avenues available for the LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) to fund its fellowship program. The current arrangement pursued by the institution results in costs of 1 million Rube or 15,000 dollars per trainee who is completing its fellowship program. The institution needs to improve its efficiency and find alternative sources of funding to increase its outcomes. The review considers the methodology of research and presents the strengths, weaknesses, and notable value of the studies selected. It also addresses general circumstances that affect funding for research and scholarships for institutions of higher learning (Shardlow & Brown, 2015). Literature Review The challenge for most nursing and health sciences units is to enhance research and scholarship agenda and focus on clinical and teaching needs, which expose them to increased costs of operations. A case study by Chaudhry and Prelock (2012) on funding scholarship at the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at the University of Vermont shows the methods used to increase funding for the institution to enable it offer more scholarships to students. It highlights the fact that the college has to offer research incentives and grants so that can achieve its goal of increasing productivity and overall research activity. The study was done in collaboration with the college dean’s office to explore avenues of increasing extramural funding to meet the direct costs of a funded research project. The strengths of the report are in its claim and focus on the display of research. This offers the stakeholder community an opportunity to witness the value of money given to fund research. The study also shows the publications of the faculty on research productivity and a dedicated page on the Internet about research and scholarship at the college. Nevertheless, the study’s shortcoming is in its failure to offer a detailed inference for use in other colleges. It also fails to provide the fixed sum received as increased funding during the exercise. The most valuable point is that the case study shows investment in the research enterprise with objective outputs is a way of sustaining the college’s research agenda. The study by Callender (2010) reviews funding policies for bursaries in England. The study analyzes the intention of setting up bursaries and the preferred methodologies for funding them as conceived in the Higher Education Bill that took place in 2004. It then compares bursaries and scholarships in the last two dec
There are four fundamental elements of a contract. The first element is that the contract must be entered into between two or more parties. Second, the parties that want to enter into a contract must be competent enough to agree with the terms and conditions of the contract. This requires the parties to be sober in mind and to be knowledgeable about what they are doing. The third element is that the contract signed by the parties must provide something of value to all the parties concerned. An agreement in which only one party gains at the expense of the other party is not considered to be a good contract. The last element is that contracts must be lawful. They should be guided and governed by existing laws. The absence of any of the mentioned elements renders the contract non-binding to the parties. Contracts can either be written or in oral form (Buchbinder and Shanks, 2007). Stages of negotiation and areas of concern Negotiation of a contract between a managed care organization and another party usually begins when the MCO sends a request for proposal (RFP). Once this is done, the potential providers must carry out some background research on the MCO to gain insight into the type of MCO it will deal with as well as the business practices and approach of operation of the MCO. At the same time, the MCO evaluates the applicants to assess their capabilities. Negotiations between the applicants and the MCO are then carried out through open communication which helps to create a mutual agreement and understanding between the parties involved. It entails extensive dialogue, debate, and conciliation by both parties which center on the results and attainment of agreement. The negotiation must result in the provision of something valuable to each of the parties. All parties must recognize the potential merits and demerits of the contractual agreement based on their goals, resources, and capabilities. The success of the negotiation is normally achieved through a contract. Gibelman and Whiting (1999) argue that “contracts are usually the result of a negotiating process,” (p.183). Areas of concern during the negotiation process include responsibilities and roles of each of the parties in the contract; the extent and type of client’s details that should be provided to the MCO; the maintenance and access of records; and the need for supervision. Provisions for performing illegal activities Some contracts have clauses that can provide loopholes for the parties to engage in illegal activities. In such situations, it is advisable for the parties of the contra
