The article by Wilson (2012) explores the role of the nonprofit organization in the process of delivery of language access services to persons with limited English proficiency in the setting of Philadelphia. The author utilizes the results of several interviews, findings of document analysis, and secondary data to establish a connection between the public and the nonprofit sources sectors in the facilitation of English access. According to Wilson (2012), the language barrier is one of the most significant and persistent barriers to the integration of immigrant residents. In addition, while the importance of language proficiency in the domains of health care, public safety, and the legislature is firmly established by numerous studies, little is known about the specificities of language access practices in relation to public administration. Based on the information obtained from the available sources, Wilson (2012) concludes that local government and the nonprofit organizations in the studied area share responsibilities in the process of improving language access to the population with limited English proficiency. The identified collaboration is based on the capability of the nonprofit organizations to provide community outreach and public support as well as on the access to protocols and municipal directives provided by the local government and, to some degree, a favorable political climate. In addition, the author identifies a distinctive approach utilized by the nonprofits in the engagement of language access services, namely the informal practice of immigrant accompaniment (Wilson, 2012). Considering that the local administration is usually unable to provide sufficient coverage of the issue on its own, it would be reasonable to identify the potential collaborative agents and allocate responsibilities in the most efficient way. The article demonstrates sufficient level of compliance with academic standards. The author provides all the necessary operational definitions and thoroughly explores the to
Religions alienation appears in numerous forms due to humans desire to overcome limitations and life failures. People use some nonreligious means such as human techniques and science to handle social and nature relations. Though there are diverse attempts to eliminate this estrangements, areas such as moral arena cannot be rectified by the application of scientific measures. There are some mysteries that are threatening, but it is impossible to solve them like any nature problem. Religion helps people to view these mysteries as a promise instead of seeing it as a threat. Religion is therefore defined as a response to the mystery as a numinous reality with power to provide salvation from estrangement (Barnes). Although salvation is used, not all forms of salvation provide life after death, but all religious traditions acknowledge life has some limitations. Primitive religious people accept the world systems with its imperfections. They acknowledge that the world has powers that cause diseases and hunger, but accept these as realities by thinking that the world would provide a comfortable and safe life. According to primitive people, salvation consists of a defense of stable orders in the world against disruptive forces (Barnes). Life can be disrupted by an interruption that causes the breakdown of set tribal orders, which were established at the beginning of times. These orders consist of customs, roles, laws, and other behavioral patterns that describe tribespersons. Violation of these orders result in chaos, confusion, fights, and sometimes the community can receive punishment from supernatural powers according to their belief. The orders are preserved by passing information about them to generations through ritual telling. Disruption can also originate from activities or influences of spirits and other supernatural forces (Barnes). Besides maintaining roles and order, the primitive religion believes that the spirits must be happy or be kept away. When proper orders are broken, there are chances of intrusion of dangerous supernatural powers that cause a threat, which people seek to be saved from, hence, a need for primitive salvation. Archaic salvation is for people that are more informed about the world. Archaic people have relevant knowledge about different cultures and the complexity of society (Barnes). They look beyond life situations by envisioning for a better future. They have different cultural beliefs, some simple and another complex. These cultural beliefs are passed to generations through stories and myths that connect the facts of life by showing that life is seriously flawed. These stories provide evidence that life is flawed by disconcerting facts of errors or evil deeds that occur in origin resulting in current miseries. Most of the cultures have a story of how socie
The influence of scholarship on the career path in nursing Scholarship plays a key role in contributing to the nurse’s development as a researcher. It is possible to note that scholarship and the associated ability to integrate scholar visions, knowledge, and experience are important to influence the career path of a nurse as a researcher who can apply the theoretical concepts and tested assumptions to practice (Utley, 2010). In this context, the education and the developed skills in research influenced my progress in the Capstone Project directly as I was able to organize the work on the project effectively, search relevant resources, and use my skills in synthesizing the literature and analyzing the data. This approach allowed developing research-based strategies for being implemented in the selected facility. Thus, I was able to refer to theoretical knowledge while implementing the practical interventions in the target organization to address the identified problem. This experience and my education can be discussed as good backgrounds for the further development of my career as both a nurse practitioner, who uses the evidence-based practices in the work and a researcher, who initiates studies and projects to contribute to the existing knowledge in the field of nursing. Moreover, the scholar of the future is a creative researcher who uses the technologies and available innovations easily and productively. It is important to pay more attention to revising the recent literature in the field of nursing and focus on analyzing the problems related to the nursing theory and practice to be able to work on urgent issues and utilize different perspectives as a progressive nurse researcher. The scope of practice of the graduate-level nurse across the continuum of care and the rol
Introduction Breast cancer is a disease that originates from the breast tissue and the curative time of the patient is dependent on the level of spread and to what organs it has spread to. In the advent of new technology, computer models have been programmed and developed to help in the staging process and determine how long a person is going to live. With best treatments available, most of the breast cancer patients can survive up to ten years with a 98% to 10% disease free body within this period. On the other hand, it has been discovered that breast cancer is the most common type of cancer especially with women with the total percentage of 10% of all the kinds of cancer. This does not mean that it does not attack men but the probability is higher in women. If the diagnosis is fast and early, then the spread rate can be stemmed or even eliminated altogether. This requires the use of trained oncologists with the right equipments to be able to remove it from the stem altogether or if a cure is impossible then the patient’s life can be significantly prolonged with the aid of a cancer drugs. This is so because huge amounts of resources have been used in the research and the development of the breast cancer drugs that in effect help the body to combat the cancer by providing additional immune to boost the fighting power of the body. Additionally in the process of research, new methods that are effective the fight against drugs have been experimented and proven to be effective in the fight against the breast cancer. However, breast cancer remains a killer disease and more research needs to be conducted to ensure that its prevalence level is reduced (Hart, 2007). Age Age is very instrumental in determining the risk a woman has in getting breast cancer and the risk to get the breast cancer increases significantly as the woman ages. For instance it has been found that a woman living up to the age of 90 years has a risk factor of up to 14% to contact the cancer compared to a middle aged woman. The manner in which cancer attacks the two age’s differences is quite different. In older women, the cancer spreads slowly and is not as severe but in younger woman it attacks more vigorously and is difficult to control. In addition, it has also been out that in most cases of breast cancer in older people, a higher depression rate among the patients was noted, and this contributes to the faster death as compared to the younger people. This is because young people have the necessary hope to fight on due to the life before them but the older people have lost hope in life and when they are diagnosed most tends to seclude themselves or live in denial. This means that in the research for breast cancer apart from trying to develop cures and ways to eliminate the cancer, lots of research should also be done on the psychological support programs to help stem this tide (Hart, 2007). Gender Men have a lower risk of getting breast cancer compared to women but the risk is appearing to be on the increa
For this assignment, I critiqued an article on how to analyse a case-control study by Casp tool Checklist . When evaluating this study, three primary issues are most relevant. To begin with, one should determine whether the results of the study are valid or not. The results should be clearly stated and their impacts on the local community identified (Casp, 2021). To help analyse the three issues, eleven questions were designed by Casp. First, one should evaluate whether the study addresses an issue that is focused on, for example, the population under study. One should determine if the study aimed at establishing a beneficial or harmful effect and the risk factors identified. It is essential to identify whether the researchers used an appropriate method to develop a conclusion (Casp, 2021). One should establish whether a case study is most appropriate in answering the study question. Additionally, one should identify whether the cases used in the research were recruited appropriately or not. The procedure for recruiting cases, when placing their speciality and time factor into consideration should be evaluated. The selection of the controls is also significant when generalizing the findings. The number of controls and the manner of selecting them is also a critical factor. Casp (2021) note that in most study cases, there are exposures that affect the accuracy of the findings. It is essential to evaluate whether the exposure was measured accurately to minimise biases of the results. One should evaluate whether the groups used in the research were treated equally, whether during the experimental intervention or not. Equal treatment could be in form of genetic, environmental, and socio-economic exposures (Casp, 2021). If there were cases of inequality, it is important to evaluate whether the researchers took into account the diverse factors in the analysis. They should also note the difference accrued by the treatment. For a more effective conclusion, one should evaluate how precise was the estimate of the impacts by considering the p-value and confidence intervals. It is essential to evaluate the credibility and reliability of the results and if they can be applied to the local community. It’s is critical that the results be beneficial to the local setting and backed up by evidence such as RCT systematic reviews, Case-control, and cohort studies.

The case presented is an example of the problems of information security management. This problem affects a substantial number of companies. In the case, SCM is facing a lawsuit because of failing to take responsibility in safeguarding its information security network. A partner company takes advantage of the interconnected security network belonging to SCM in launching an information security attack on Bullard Enterprizes. In this case, there is a high possibility that SCM will be liable if the case is presented against it by Bullard Enterprizes. An argument in the case suggests that SMC failed to put in place sufficient mechanisms for controlling the use of the interconnection security network. Therefore, the company failed in its ethical responsibility as the owner of the security network. SCM is not a direct party in the case in which it is implicated. However, the fact that the attack was launched by the security system belonging to the company makes the company a direct party. SCM will be required to settle the issue with its partner that launched the attack. This could perhaps take place after the verdict of the case presented by Bullard. Ethical lapses occur when a company fails to exercise responsibility. This are practices which the company is mandated to guard. The securing of information systems is a strenuous task given the fact that there are many challenges associated with the management of security systems. The challenges are even extended when a company shares the security network with other companies (Johnson, Goetz & Pfleeger, 2009). Basing on the given case, I believe that Stratified Custom Manufacturing had a
Introduction The case of Speluncean Explorers is a fictitious legal case created by Lon L Fuller. It has gained popularity within the corridors of law largely due to the complexity of facts and philosophical twists of judgments evident in the case. In this 1949 case, Fuller presents five different fictitious judgments delivered by five presiding judges. Each of the five jurists had a unique philosophical approach in arriving at the final complex judgment. The complexity of circumstances surrounding the case made each of the judges explore how to precisely interpret the case according to provisions in the commonwealth law. In the long run, the judges arrived at different judgmental conclusions with each offering variety of reasons behind their decisions. In this case, Fuller presented the expected conflict in accordance with principles of legal philosophy. His ideas have been profusely debated in several case studies on legal matters. This case report will examine the main reasons that led to disagreement among presiding jurists. Besides, elements of natural and positive law presented in the case will also be explored. In addition, the nature of the contract made in the case will be analyzed since it forms the basis for the disposition of the case that has been presented in this paper. Summary of the facts The accused survivors in this case had embarked on a mission to explore deserted caves when fate compelled them to cannibalize one of their partners. Within the jurisdiction of carrying out their duties, a tunnel collapsed thereby trapping them underground. After realizing that they could not help themselves, they used radio calls to contact rescue teams. The latter informed them that it would take a minimum of ten days to reach the accident scene. Their chance of survival for ten days without food was extremely minimal and following a discussion on the options available to them, they agreed that they could be saved only if one of them was turned into a meal. Upon reaching an agreement, they radioed rescuers to seek their opinion on the legal and moral aspects of the act they were just about to commit. When they did not get any feedback from rescuers, they opted to go ahead with the earlier plan. In spite of having arrived at a solution, they were still in dilemma over who was to be eaten to save the rest from the risk of starvation. Nonetheless, Whetmore proposed that they cast a dice. They unanimously agreed with the option. However, moments before they could throw the dice, Whetmore retreated from the agreement and suggested it as the last option after being pretty sure that they would die of starvation. The other men would hear none of it, and they decided to cast
The collision of two trains in the metro system of the District of Columbia raised concerns on the increasing neglect of the transport system that serves a large number of commuters. Preliminary analysis indicated the flaws in the trains’ control system as the cause of the accident. Further investigations revealed that the train that caused the accident was an old model that operated on outdated technology. Reports from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) indicated that fitting the train with an automated control system could have averted the collision. The lack of proper maintenance policies is only one aspect of the underfunding of the D.C metro system, which has led to the underutilization of the second largest metro system in America. By 2006, the D.C metro system required about 15 billion dollars to address the backlog of repairs and about 3 billion dollars annually to sustain the update of systems and technology used in the metro system (Post 136). Despite the fact that the metro system plays a central role in the economic progress of the District of Columbia, state and local authorities have increasingly overlooked the need for a revamped metro system to meet the criteria of a reliable transport system. An analysis of the federal budget indicates that the allocation of funds for the metro is one of the most overlooked issues. The stimulus bill has so far dedicated about 8 billion dollars to the improvement of the D.C train system with the requested 57 billion dollars designated for the replacement of the old fleets still unavailable (Perez 51). In comparison to other systems of transport, the D.C metro system receives the lowest percentage of federal funding. The demand by the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority for increased funding of the D.C metro system have attracted criticism regarding the need for a balanced overall transit funding. In this regard, stakeholders in the highway system have expressed support for the proposed cutting of budgetary allocations for the D.C metro system by about 15 million. The fact that the current funding of the D.C metro system does not guarantee satisfactory levels of security and reliability illustrates that cutting the D.C metro budget will put the transit system in jeopardy. The D.C metro system constitutes of more than 25 percent of the total metro system in America (Cervero 229). Due to the depilated condition of the D.C metro system, the number of trains that operate in an hour is considerably below the maximum capacity. Furthermore, the use of outdated systems has increasingly reduced commuters’ confidence in the metro system (Weiss 136). However, evidence shows that a revamped metro system offers greater reliability in comparison to the bus system. At full capacity, the D.C metro system can ferry about 20, 000 passenger within an hour and thus considerably reduced traffic jams in the District of Columbia (Toole 71). The discrepancy betwe
Executive Summary Entrepreneurship requires a high level of creativity and innovation. An entrepreneur must be capable of identifying a need in the market and then coming up with a product that meets it in the best way possible. GreenIt Limited is a new green energy consultancy company that is headquartered in Dubai. The founders of this company noted that solar energy has a huge potential as society moves towards renewable energy. They also found out that the demand in the market exceeds the supply by a huge margin, leaving an attractive gap that this company seeks to fill. The opportunity in the renewable energy industry is huge and GreenIt will in the future venture into other alternative energy sources such as wind and biomass. It will also need support from other investors to facilitate its expansion plans Business Description General Description of Business GreenIt Limited is a new consultancy and renewable energy services company that seeks to transform energy production and consumption in residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental entities in the United Arab Emirates. The company will be headquartered in Dubai city. The energy sector has been an area under intense scientific research as the stakeholders struggle to find ways of reducing the emission of greenhouse gases caused by the use of fossil fuel. Renewable energy has come out as the main solution to fossil fuel-related pollution. Countries all over the world are now promoting the production and consumption of renewable energy as a way of ensuring that they reduce environmental pollution and improve the sustainability of their energy sources. Homeowners and companies in most of the European countries such as Germany and Spain are now encouraged to participate in the production of renewable energy using photovoltaic (PV) systems (Roehrkasten, 2015). This trend has given rise to the concept of self-consumption where residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental entities produce their energy to reduce their reliance on the national grid. The concept is increasingly becoming popular in developed countries as they try to go green in their energy production and consumption. Germany is a good example of a country that has moved a step ahead of others by coming up with a net-metering system that allows domestic and commercial entities that produce more energy than they need to supply the excess energy to the national grid and be compensated for the value of their production. GreenIt seeks to borrow a business model that has been in use in these developed countries and modify it to fit into the local Emirati context. The firm will work closely with the leading solar companies in the country and relevant government agencies to ensure that homes and companies start ambitious projects of producing and consuming their energy with the help of P
