Introduction Strategic planning involves an objective assessment of the envisioned goals, aims and objectives in a given organization. Strategic planning helps an organization to achieve its vision and mission and to also make resourceful decisions about its present work and future developments. This paper seeks to establish the relevance of strategic planning in an academic institution especially in the management of affairs affecting students in an academic context. What are some of the strategic issues that affect students? Students in an academic set up are usually faced by challenges that need to be addressed by their schools’ administrations. The administrations are therefore charged with the responsibilities of carefully planning for the needs of their students to avert unnecessary confrontations and unrests from the students. Some of the issues that need to be considered by the administrations include setting up of workable students’ councils that address the issues of students. They have to represent the students in matters that touch on fees, disciplinary policies, academic and social issues. Managing strategic issues Students have to keenly understand the main purposes of their schools’ administrations. This helps in the full adherence of the laid down rules and regulations. The specific schools should also produce sufficient brochures and pamphlets so as to distribute them to students. Students can then be made to understand why and how the schools’ administrations work. As much as the students would like to engage their respective school administrations through their representative bodies such as the students’ councils, most of them fail to understand the bases of their existences apart from primarily acting as watchdogs for students’ injustices. The councils are constituted of the various elected students in the specified fields. Each one of them deals with different departments or ministries depending on the schools’ terms of policies. They vividly air the problems facing their fellow students and look for available solutions at hand. The students’ councils come in handy when the students feel discriminated or ignored in some of the universities’ decisions. These include; restrictive conduct of students in their hostels and students’ centers. Students usually wonder if the criteria used in the deliverances of the daily lectures are justified. Most of the students would like to think that lectures should be given depending on the modules of the specific units. Some units are usually overemphasized while their content is easily understandable while others are left to the students’ discretions since they contain bulky information. Universities should try to manage their activities and programs without any external interference. Many students dislike the idea of being supervised by external tutors’ especially foreign people or scholars recommend to them by their schools. Legislations should be properly made and enacted internally. This
Higher learning institutions for example, have quite a number of legal issues that encompasses their daily living styles while in pursuit of providing education in the best way they could. They try to serve huge numbers or students who are not documented and are immigrants. This is especially faced in the United States where every year, Urban Institute approximates about sixty five thousand students are without proper immigration documents in U.S secondary schools putting to account they have lived in states for years with the parents but face special barriers to access higher education. An association in America concerned with universities & colleges tried to debate on issue of undocumented aliens in 2003. The association doesn’t condone disregarding immigration laws and want laws in place currently discouraging status of residents status to qualified students who are aliens who stay there in nation full of immigrants ignoring important new economy human capital source. These immigrants’ students who are not properly documented have limited prospects in completing their education as they are viewed as displaced thus not legible for aid of federal finance and tuition which is in-state and are as well not qualified to legally work in States. Many States are thus in the process of registering these students who are not properly documented and have schooled in the high schools qualified for tuition which is in-state while other states like Virginia fail to admit immigrant students who are not documented in their universities. Legislation by the federal government which was aimed at addressing the prohibition of undocumented immigrants to access university education was introduced. Minors act for aliens was introduced which could provide for a way to apply for legal residency for immigrants who are long-term residents. This act introduced by a Senator called Orrin Hatch overturned the federal law interfering with the right of a state in determining tuition which is in-state (Yates, 2004). The congress in 1996 clarified undocumented students status in context of higher education stating that alien students unlawfully present in State is ineligible basing on their residence for education benefit of postsecondary unless is a citizen, else national of U.S. has eligibility for the benefit disregarding the resident has citizenship or is a national. Federal government never has issued specific regulations on enforcement and interpretation of the provision this is due to federal level inadequate clarity as the interpretation and interpretation of the law is taken differently in States. Texas was the first to give college tuition which is in-state and aid financially to immigrant students not considering the legal status they have. Texas graduates in high school who have stayed for 3 years there qualify for tuition which is in-state as stated by the law though these students are made to have the affidavit signed as a promise for application of legal documents as an immigrant.

The causes of abdominal pain in young adults, as well as middle-aged and elderly persons, are often different. In addition, it is also possible to differentiate between the causes of the acute and chronic pain that can be typical of this or that age group. For male adults aged 20 years old, acute abdominal pain is most typical. However, there are also cases when chronic abdominal pain is observed, and it is caused by the prolonged unhealthy diet or consequences of the acute conditions (Marsicano, Vuong, & Prather, 2014). The possible differential diagnoses for young male adults suffering from acute abdominal pain include acute gastritis caused by problems in the gastrointestinal tract. The sudden inflammation can be caused by stress and unhealthy eating habits (Gans, Pols, Stoker, & Boermeester, 2015). The other possible diagnosis is acute pancreatitis. These diseases can become chronic if they are not treated effectively. In addition, acute appendicitis is also most often observed in young persons. Acute cholecystitis is rare in young people. The possible diagnosis associated with chronic abdominal pain is irritable bowel syndrome typical of young adults (Gans et al., 2015). The problem is in the fact that young people more often suffer from the consequences of unhealthy diets and the impact of psychological factors than middle-aged persons do. While discussing the possible causes of chronic and acute abdominal pain in the 50-year-old man, it is important to note that chronic diseases more often cause pain in middle-aged and elderly patients. Furthermore, acute conditions are often associated with other chronic disorders that can lead to worsening. Middle-aged males often suffer from acute and chronic pancreatitis because it can be caused by the abuse of alcohol and unhealthy eating habits (Cartwright & Knudson, 2015). The cases of peptic ulcers associated with acute and chronic abdominal pain are also typical of this age group because middle-aged patients can have problems with stomach acid and prolonged courses of medications. Chronic gastritis, chronic cholecystitis, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic peritonitis, and diverticulitis are the differential diagnoses that are usually mentioned while discussing the case of chronic pain in a middle-aged person. Inflammatory bowel disease is also diagnosed in addition to different types of colitis that cause chronic abdominal pain. The mentioned problems are usually associated with the chronic inflammation in organs of the gastrointestinal tract that are typical of middle-aged persons in contrast to young adults (Cartwright & Knudson, 2015). In addition, chronic pain can also be associated with gallbladder diseases and the biliary disease gallstones that are often observed in middle-aged and elderly males. Moreover, this group of diseases and the observed chronic pain can also be related to a large group of liver disorders. While discussing the causes of chronic and acute abdominal pai
An effective teacher is a good planner. She anticipates everything and anything that can happen to her classroom. Thus, it is essential that she comes up with a classroom management system to cover everything she needs to do and remember. Classroom management involves not only the management of student behavior but everything that goes on in the class… from preparation for the class day, to what transpires during the day and even up to when the students leave, to the nitty-gritty of the physical environment which must be conducive to maximize the learning of her students (Crosser, 2002). Of course, a teacher can only do this if she is adept in developing a program developmentally suited for the age and grade level of her students. The Hypothetical Classroom As a teacher of very young students, I am aware of how curious and active they are and how exploration and play are essential in their learning and development. Thus, I need to provide them with an environment that respects their nature as well as guide them in the proper behavior expected in a school setting. I am designing a classroom for the preschool class of twelve 5 years olds half of whom are girls and half are boys. This class is from middle-class families with young and educated parents. In a particular research, it was found out that when the quality of the physical environment declined, teacher restriction and control increased, the teacher’s behavior became less friendly, the students became less interested and involved, classroom rules increased, and conflict among children increased. It was likewise observed that the learning environment influences, and directly contributes to, children’s behavior and levels of learning. The physical environment should reflect the goals and expectations of the teacher. It will also dictate somehow to the children how they will behave in the classroom (Brewer, 2001). Figure 1.

Summary of The Crucible The Crucible is a must-read fascinating chef-d’oeuvre authored by Arthur Miller, a renowned playwright from America, which dramatizes the way witch-hunting and witch trials took place at Salem, Massachusetts, in the year 1692 through 1693. The play opens with a multitude of girls enjoying a dancing exercise in the forest with a slave named Tituba only for one among them to experience an unconsciousness-like situation when the dancing is in progress. Villagers gather with every one referring this as a sign of witchcraft that leads to seeking of an intervention from a witchcraft professional-a reverend. The scenario calls for the need to investigate the villagers on issues pertaining to witchcraft, a take that finds many of them victims of the evil doing ready to be judged. As the victims are questioned, majority refuse to admit or rather confess of the evil doing. However, one of them falsely confesses thus finalizing the witch trials by the judges. This drama was performed on the first time at Martin Beck Theater in 1953 before it was reviewed and later won the best play award in the same year (Wilmeth and Bigsby 415). However, as fascinating as it seems, the masterpiece has strengths and flaws that are evident upon making a keen analysis of the play. For instance, Miller does not directly use real characters from the community that he depicts in the play. This creativity in developing new characters to fit perfectly in a certain role is strength of this play. The author also uses metaphorical language to bring out themes and characters. For instance, since he knows the repercussion of making errors, he warns people not to attempt repeating any of the misapprehensions he had done earlier on (Miller 132). This is a literary streng
The male reproductive system involves seminal vesicles, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, prostate, epididymis, and urethra. The testes include seminiferous tubules and interstitial cells, while of the tubules is about 30-65 cm long. In each of the testes, there are about 500 tubules, and the cells mature into spermatozoa. 1 There are also sertoli cells that act as the promoters of germ cells. Male infertility is associated with poor spermatogenesis when reproductive cells produce insufficient sperm. The low work of tubules and damage to them lead to a lack of releasing and maturation of interstitial cells. For example, infertility can be caused by a lack of secretory function of the gonads due to congenital or acquired pathology. This form of male infertility is related to a decrease in sperm secretion in the testicles. The cause of this condition is primarily hypogonadism, in which the production of sperm and / or testosterone is disrupted in the testes. Make infertility can be associated with sperm disorders, retrograde ejaculation, immunology, hormones, medication, and varicoceles. In a combined form, hormonal disorders of a different nature are combined with excretory disorders caused by inflammation of the genital organs. It is known that physicochemical shifts in the prostate gland that occur during inflammation cause a decrease in androgenic saturation of the body with a simultaneous increase in the estrogenic activity of the testicles. 1 Comorbidity is one of the features of the modern urological diseases, such as chronic prostatitis and age-related androgenic deficiency that are among the most common diseases in men. In other words, both the anatomy and physiology of male infertility are complex issues that require a comprehensive approach to prevent and treat male reproductive system diseases.

John Rawles’ theory of justice was not a new statement in moral philosophy. It was actually a revision of Locke’s, Rousseau’s, and Kant’s ideas (Guyer, 2018). Therefore, there are many similarities between his beliefs and the already existing ones. Yet, Rawles added his own understanding of justice and conveyed it in the form of principles. There are two basic beliefs laying the foundation for his theory. The first principle is that everyone should have equal rights, which do not extend beyond other people’s freedom. This implies that there is a limit to rights, which is distinguished by the intersection with the others. A person cannot appeal to their privileges when someone else’s freedom is jeopardized. The most important implication is that a certain level of economic and social inequality is acceptable to society. This idea leads to the second principle, which is structuring the inequality in such a way that all people should have access to social and work benefits. Rawles ascertains the freedoms, which cannot be compromised; they include the freedom of speech, the freedom of consciousness, the right to property, and other classic human privileges. Yet, once the access to the basic necessities is assured, inequality is allowed. The first principle is the most important because it lays the foundation for the second one’s limitations. Rawles deems inequality essential for society, yet it should be controlled. The ultimate purpose is the common good, which pertains to everyone. Paradoxically, it cannot be achieved without inequality, but the exces
In the US healthcare system, the role of a physician cannot be ignored or misunderstood. Health care reforms may have different impacts on patients, medical workers, and policymakers due to the existing variety of control issues (Lipsitz, 2012). Physicians have to comprehend their roles and possibilities as practice administrators, leaders, and members of a medical group practice. In this paper, several aspects of physician practice management, consumer behavior, and professional qualities will be discussed to explain the opportunities for physicians in the modern world with its obligations and improvements. Forms of Medical Group Practice In the United States, group medical practices are used to gather all medical goals, aspects, and opportunities and divide the work of groups of physicians who have to cooperate and develop close professional relations utilizing appropriate equipment and technical personnel (Coulam, Kralewski, Dowd, & Gans, 2016). This type of practice is characterized by two main forms, single-specialty and multispecialty. Medical group practices have such advantages as improved financial security and the possibility to control lifestyles. Besides, a larger number of physicians involved in one group promoting an increased number of patients and the amount of care offered in time. In comparison to single-specialty practices where several physicians offer one type of care to patients, multispecialty group practices help to introduce several types of medical care in the same organization. A multispecialty form of medical group practice seems to be more attractive to a newly licensed physician due to the possibility to try several directions at the same time, understand what kind of work can be preferable, and make a final decision about the field of medical practice. Role of a Physician in a Medical Practice Nowadays, it is impossible to neglect the fact that medical practice has already been changed considerably because of the necessity to adapt to numerous social and technological ideas and improvements. The nature of the physicians’ role has been changed as well. Today, physicians have to comprehend that they are not social workers or nurses who have to cooperate with patients and their families
Introduction Warehouses are storage facilities established by companies involved in offering transport for their clients. Such companies are usually involved in long-distance transport of goods and other services for their clients. Through the process of transporting the products, the companies require a lot of facilities, especially the transport facilities such as vehicles, planes, and ships. In addition, they require a very fundamental and important facility that determines the success of the company. This is the warehouse of the company. A warehouse is a large storage facility that is used for the storage of goods and services either as they await loading onto a vehicle or as they await collection by the client. In most cases, logistics companies usually do not have enough space and hence they are not able to handle all goods for potential customers. This forces the companies to fall below expectations. There is therefore a need for companies to seek ways of inventing warehouse designs that fit their available space and also ensure they can meet with growing demands for logistics and warehouse application (Drickhamer, 2006). This study seeks to identify the different design issues related to the building g of warehouses. It also aims at identifying the designs involved in the building of modern warehouses which give a provision for growth and expansion with the growing need for more storage space and organization. Major Design Issues Different factors should be considered in designing a warehouse to ensure it serves its purpose as much as possible. Proper warehouse designs allow for increased storage space due to the following of an orderly storage pattern which results in to flow of goods into and out of the warehouse. It also increases a company’s effectiveness and efficiency prevents damage to stored goods, reduces the risk of injuries or any other form of hazard. Also, such a design would ensure that the company saves on its spending due to the decreased need for more labor force. In modern-day warehouses, there is also a need for the companies to ensure they adopt a warehouse design that is flexible and allows for an easy expansion of the company (Chua, 2007). Different issues must be considered in designing a warehouse, especially with a focus on future logistics trends. First, in designing a warehouse, one needs to consider the positions and heights of columns. The racks that are made should allow for a wide range of designs of goods stored to ensure that any future changes in the design of products do not result in a major restructuring of the warehouse. Hence, proper use of rack positions and design ensures that the company can properly utilize the warehouse space and hence accommodate more goods and services. On the other side, the company can adhere to the requirements of everyone since independence hence the information may have resulted in to use of or full view of what we see to increase the participation rates (Chua, 2007). Another factor to be considered in the design of warehouse structure is the physical location of the warehouse. The warehouse used should always be interconnected to
The “18 Rugby Street” melancholic poem is filled with love, tenderness, and sadness about the poet’s past, which he will never be able to return. At the beginning of the poem, Hughes describes the house where he first met his future wife. This house in Bloomsbury, dear to the poet’s heart, appears to him as a kind of theater. In, acts and scenes take place, actors change, but events always repeat themselves, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life. Hughes describes the years that they lived in this house with his wife, veiled or almost directly mentioning personal details. It is possible to claim that “18 Rugby Street” is dedicated to his wife, Sylvia Plath. The poet describes her unusual beauty with such tenderness that the readers can almost feel his love for her. This poem was included in Birthday Letters, the last collection of poetry published in 1998, which was months before Hughes’ death. In “18 Rugby Street”, he probably tries to explain the essence and the nature of the relationship between him and his wife.
