Why do you think standardized terminology is needed today? In my opinion, standardized terminologies (STs) are necessary at any time and in any discipline since clear communication between specialists is a must for smooth and fast development and application of knowledge. After all, the efforts that were aimed at STs’ creation in nursing began in the 1970s (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015, p. 111), which indicates that their importance was apparent to healthcare specialists for a long period of time. However, there are several factors that seem to define the need for STs in the present day, and I will be using nursing as an illustration for them. First of all, the strain and demands that are placed upon healthcare nowadays are higher than before; it is a logical outcome given the growing and aging population and the technological and medical developments that change the way we provide healthcare (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015, p. 107). Secondly, STs provide nursing with an opportunity to be regarded as a full-fledged, quantifiable discipline; this title is a relatively recent acquisition that we hardly want to lose since its recognition offers greater attention from the scientific community (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015, p. 112). Finally, the development of technologies offers great opportunities as well but also has some requirements, one of which is standardization. Consider electronic records that are used in healthcare. They can only function in case all the nurses who use a particular database employ an ST. Similarly, everyone who operates a different ST will not understand these records and will not be able to modify them. With time, nursing is expected to become more technology-dependent (Hudson, Taylor, & Jeffries, 2013; Kish, 2015), and it is a positive forecast since new technologies mean new opportunities, including automatization, data collection, use, and reuse, and improved communication. Therefore, to gain the most from the possibilities that technology has to offer to nurse informatics, we need to create, implement, and learn STs that are as universal as possible. What do you see as the greatest impact of nursing standardized-terminology use upon healthcare consumers? STs have a number of impacts on healthcare, which, naturally, affects healthcare consumers. I would not claim that any of the impacts is the most important or the strongest, especially since they work as a system. Also, the adverse effects of the slow adoption of STs can contribute to the overall impact. However, I would like to dwell on the improved safety factor that my practice as a nurse supervisor has proved to be very significant. In fact, it is the first plus of the consistent use of terminology that McGonigle and Mastrian (2015) mention: the “continuity of care from care provider to care provider” (p. 111). Also, the importance of care coordination with the help of nursing technologies is highlighted by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2011) as a part of the Essential V in t
Introduction Sigmund Freud has said: “A path leads from identification by way of imitation to empathy that is to the comprehension of the mechanism by which we are enabled to take up any attitude at all towards another mental life” (S. Freud, 1921, p. 110). Psychoanalysis has always identified the body as the source of all psychological representations. Interestingly, some recent developments in cognitive neuroscience have emphasized the role of the acting body and of sensory-motor systems in constituting the way our mind represents reality, by shaping our cognitive schemas (Gallese 48). David Olds has explained that some recent neuroscientific discoveries are relevant to psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice. In particular, he emphasizes the possible role played by mirror neurons in building identity relations, implying that they could provide a sub-personal explanatory framework for intersubjectivity. Olds’ hypothesis is very important because it lays the foundation of a multidisciplinary exchange between psychoanalytic theory, clinical practice and cognitive neuroscience.

Introduction The artwork in question is entitled Madonna Enthroned . It was created between 1280 and 1290 by Cimabue of Florence (Davies et al. 283). It is tempera on panel and the dimensions of the artwork are 3.9 x 2.2 m (Davies et al. 283). It is also necessary to note that the artist used gold leaf to create the piece. Noteworthy, this is typical of Byzantine art tradition (Cunningham 356). The subject matter of the work is Madonna with her baby child. Madonna is depicted on a massive throne holding Jesus on her lap. She is in the center of the piece. Angels are depicted on both sides of the throne. Remarkably, Madonna, Jesus and the angels are looking at the viewer. At the bottom of the throne, Cimabue depicted four Hebrew Bible prophets (Davies et al. 283). The prophets are holding their scripts. Two of them (in the center) are looking at the viewer while the others are looking at Madonna. Noteworthy, Madonna’s figure is the largest. More so, the rest of the figures are depicted only partially. Thus, the angels are standing behind the throne and the prophets are under the throne in certain kinds of windows. As far as the color is concerned, gold color prevails. Blue color also plays an important role in the work as it contributes to creation of the necessary focus. The Focus of the Work Position The major focus of the work is made on Madonna. This effect is achieved with the help of several tools. In the first place, Cimabue puts the figure of Madonna in the center of the painting. The central position ensures that the figure catches the viewer’s eyes. This central position of the major image of the work can be regarded as an illustration of Byzantine art tradition (Kleiner & Gardner 406). Thus, Cimabue follows this tradition in his work. It is also important to state that Madonna is placed higher than the rest of the images. This also makes the viewer focus on the figure of Maria. Dimension Apart from the central position, the artist employs another tool to make the necessary emphasis on the image of Madonna. As has been mentioned above, the figure of Madonna is the largest. This also creates the necessary emphasis. The figure of Madonna occupies the major part of the artwork and this makes her stand out (Cunningham 356). She is sitting in the massive gold throne which can also be regarded as certain background. The viewer focuses on the largest object of the work and the rest of smaller images create the necessary background. Thus, the angels behind the throne bring the image of Madonna to the fore. The prophets who are much smaller also serve as the background. Thus, the artist emphasizes the greatness of Jesus’ mother. Angels show their respect and mere mortals (i.e. prophets) reveal their worship. Color Finally, color also contributes to the creation of the necessary emphasis. Cunningham notes that the deep blue color creates the necessary contrast (356). Therefore, Madonna’s gown is what catches the viewer’s eyes. Remarkably, realistic representation of the folds of the gown contributes to the creation of the emphasis on Madonna (Cunningham 356). The lines of the gown
Introduction The changing education demands have attracted the need to revisit the existing standards of professional practice in counseling at the HISD- Houston Texas School. A new approach that reflects the best practice in an understandable way is needed to respond to the current issues that tamper with students’ wellbeing. According to Hatch and Chen-Hayes, the current research indicates that quality-counseling programs can have lasting effects on a student’s welfare (38). They can also protect a student from embarking on drug abuse and violence. Quality school counseling can improve students’ performance both within and outside the classroom setting. However, this article suggests a needs-based model that focuses on the challenges that learners encounter in schools today. Therefore, this paper will act as a guide to the administrators at HISD- Houston Texas School. It offers ways of improving the school’s counseling program. The School’s Counseling Program The school’s counseling approach should be based on the developmental model that rests on the premise that all students develop in a sequential way towards self-actualization and self-advancement (Barna and Brott 100). The developmental approach is anchored on the belief that students pass through general phases of academic, career, and social enhancement. Therefore, school counseling models should be designed to cater for such demands. Interventions to improve the School’s Counseling Program The intervention measures offer the medium upon which school counselors steer the healthy content of the school counseling approach. The initial response should involve the school’s counseling curriculum. The prospectus offers enhan
The late insurrection in Southampton was a tragedy carried out by Nat Turner and his men that left a deep thought in the minds of the community as well as the minds of every section of the country where the population was found as it was a case of open revolution of slaves which involved a situation of brutality and destruction. The document contains a confession that was made by Nat turner to Thomas R. Gray in prison where he was restricted. This tragedy left the public with a curiosity to understand and find what motivated the actors to carry on such a horrible conspiracy, however, this curiosity was not solved until the time the mystery surrounding the operation was solved when Nat Turner was finally captured and taken to jail by Benjamin Phipps where he gave a full confession on the origin, development and consummation of the conspiracy. In analyzing the paper on ‘The Confessions of Nat Turner’, it can be noted from the editor’s comments that, unlike other slaves who participated in the act, Nat Turner was willing to fully and freely give a confession of the origin, the development and the consummation of the conspiracy in which he was the leader. With his confession it was a satisfaction for the public to put a statement of the confession in writing with small or no changes from his own words to bring down their curiosity. Unlike other insurgents Nat Turner admitted his full participation in all the guilt of the operation and also revealed that he was not only the contriver but also gave the first blow towards its execution. Analysis of Nat Turner’s confessions shows that the dreadful conspiracy that was carried on by the insurgent slaves under his leadership caught the whole community and the country unaware as everything was well planned and carried out by Nat and his men overnight. This can be said to be ridiculous as any person may wonder how such a large group of men riding on horses could move from house to house conducting such mercilessly and unsparing murders without anybody noticing and raising an alarm. From this analysis the reader can learn that the community under question was so ignorant of any attack and could never have imagined such a thing happening (Hempel, & Smith). From the analysis of ‘The Confessions Nat Turner’ it is notable that the country’s policy and lawmakers had not come up with policies or laws that would stop operations like that of Nat Turner and his men. Nat Turner’s confession is a lesson to them that they should implement such laws and policies and persuade all citizens to ensure their enforcement. In addition it is a lesson to every community to take the responsibility of ensuring their safety as the guardians of the law watch over the whole country. The analysis of ‘The Confessions of Nat Turner’ shows that Nat Turner’s life was full of fantasies which i
Wordsworth’s Depiction of Nature Wordsworth is one of the poets with a deep feeling for the beauty of nature. Unlike his contemporaries, who considered scenery to be soulless, the poet imbued any natural features and objects such as a flower, fruit, rock, or stone with life. He is one of the best masters of the landscape, measuring time by flowering spring, warm summer, plentiful fruits in autumn, and long winters. Wordsworth depicts everything against the nature backdrop: a beggar sits on a distant rock, a cat plays with withered leaves, a deaf peasant lies under a pine tree. “To every natural form, rock, fruit or flower, Even the loose stones that cover the high way, I gave a moral life, I saw them feel, Or linked them to some feeling” (Wordsworth, 1994, p. 651) William Wordsworth believed that his purpose as a poet was to show nature not as a shelter for people, where they could forget about their troubles and everyday obligations, but as a source of pure passion, fun, inspiration, and support. One of the famous quotes of William Wordsworth is “come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.” (Wordsworth, 1994, p. 481). This belief is rooted in Wordsworth’s childhood and youth, which determined his development as a poet. The subtle senses and sensitive ear allowed the young poet to enjoy the beauty and mystery of nature that he often plunged into a trance or in a state of delight. Another feature of his poetry was his love for humankind as a whole, as for him, people were mother nature’s children and heirs. When he was a child, he admired the work of countrymen such as shepherds and peddlers. Their images can be found in his poetry as well. Meanwhile, the figure of an unbridled, cruel, insensitive tramp being also a child of nature capable of repentance and tenderness is also the feature of Wordsworth’s poesy. The picture of country life contributes to the creation of Wordsworth’s unique style, embodied in the rhythm and composition, plot, and imagery of his works. In turn, the poet tries to show the nature in all its glory to reveal its soul. Shelley’s Poetry Shelley’s poetry consists of the intricate techniques of personifying nature, and the poet’s language is extremely rich in metaphors. Shelley’s descriptions of nature are often philosophical; he frequently appeals to the past, boldly connected with the present and the future. The poet draws a parallel between the variability of society and nature. The tone of Shelley’s poetry is optimistic: spring follows after winter, so the age of peace and prosperity will inevitably replace the century of social disasters and wars (Holmes, 1987, p. 255). The theme of invincibility and immortality of life and freedom is expressed, for example, in the poem called Ode to the West Wind . The idea of the west wind, a wind-destroyer, is a traditional theme in English poetry. However, due to the poet’
Dancing is an inseparable part of life, thus it is often shown in movies with themes relating to different things. The movie Dirty Dancing clearly illustrates people’s need and want to dance. It was produced by Linda Gottlieb and directed by Emile Ardolino. The movie came out in year 1987 and became an immediate hit at the box office. Patrick Swayze played the major role which was one of the reasons for the great success of the movie. The movie came out in color and was watched at home in a family setting. The plot revolves around a girl who is becoming more mature and falls in love with her dance instructor. As he is older than her, she learns a lot from him about life. She gets valuable life experience and develops her skills as a dancer. Even though the style of dancing can be thought of as provocative or “dirty”, nonetheless, it absorbs the audiences and does not stop to surprise the viewers. The story unexpectedly develops, as there is emotional in
Introduction Learning is a complex and continuous process that usually occurs whenever people interact with other human beings and or objects in their surrounding environments. At the same time, we also need to realize that learning may as well take place in either a consciously or sub-consciously manner. Thus interaction is very important for creating learning experience for learners. Learning experience enables the learners to acquire cognitive, psychomotor and affective behavioral changes (Jensen, 2000). The most important aspect of brain-based learning is what the learners are expected to perform, how the learners are supported to accomplish their expectations and how they engage with the challenges. Brain-based learning is a theory which is concerned with working of the brain during the learning process. Each brain develops uniquely such that learners of the same chronological age may not have the same level of brain development (Jensen & Johnson, 1994). Brain-based learning calls for a learner-centered learning as well as differentiated instruction to allow active participation of learners in the learning process. Theories of Learning Supporting Brain-based Learning According to Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligence, the brain consists of seven levels of intelligences and that human beings exhibit varied and unique intelligence abilities (Gardner, 1991). This implies that learners learn in different ways and therefore classroom learning and teaching should provide various learning opportunities to learners to increase their chances of success (Wertsch, 1997). Thus people would normally build knowledge upon that which they have already acquired. It also implies learning from experience is very important. Thus it is essential to apply teaching and learning process that incorporates learning through experience. This theory recognizes that each learner is unique and has complex needs and therefore it is important that teachers understand the entry behavior of each learner and the learner’s unique learning ability. There is the need for the teacher has to consider all these when planning any learning content to be delivered to the learners. Purpose The Research Paper illustrates the use of scientific method for exploring and developing a topic of interest on issue/problem(s) referring to brain-based learning. Focus The study focuses on the relationship between the brain and student learning. One of the most exciting fields today is brain-based learning. It is a way of thinking about the learning process. It is not a solution to all of the problems in teaching today, nor is it a recipe for teachers. It is a set of principles and a base of knowledge and skills that enables future and current teachers to make better decisions about how to construct lessons and present information to students to optimize the learning process.

Introduction This report presents an analysis of seven different kinds of paints. The assessment was aimed at the selection of the most suitable paint for branding highway centerlines and lanes. The types of paints assessed are from six different manufacturers. The paints assessment was based on three characteristics. These include: Spraying characteristics, drying time, and visibility. Visibility was measured after three months and after six months. Scope of work As earlier stated, the purpose of this inspection was to assess and identify the most suitable paint for use in marking highway centerlines and lanes. White paint and yellow paints for each brand were assessed. To achieve this, Highway 17 (concrete surface) and highway 43 (asphalt surface) were used.PMA-02-28H paint manufacturing specifications and ASTM D-711 were used to gauge spraying characteristics and paint’s drying time respectively. The visibility rating was based on guidelines provided in appendix 2. Method of Testing Testing has begun with the collection of samples of white and yellow paints from the six manufacturers for purposes of evaluation. The obtained samples were then coded as shown in appendix 1. To eliminate biased analysis, the coding list was sealed in an envelope and deposited at a local bank. Two regularly traveled highway stretches earlier mentioned were then painted with sample stripes. The assessment was done based on three characteristics as earlier mentioned. Spraying characteristics were assessed during application based on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from excellent to poor while the drying time was measured in minutes. Visibility was measured after three months and after six months. Testing protocol Based on Paint Manufacturers’ Association specification PMA-02-2811, the spraying characteristics for fast drying highway should be at least “good” and preferably “very good.” The ASTM D-71 1 standard is used to establish the maximum acceptable paint drying time, which is 20 minutes. The acceptable visibility levels were set at a minimum of 7 and 6 for 3 months and 6 months respectively. Summary results- assessment Based on results obtained from inspection (See appendix 3), the following summary graphs are developed. Table 1: Visibility after 3 months (Concrete pavement) Noting that the minimum visibility level after 3 months is rated at seven, WE and YQ fail to attain the desired threshold and as such are ruled out as unsuitable. Based on minimum visibility levels recorded, YR ranks highest followed by WD, WC, WF, YL, WA, YO, WB, YP, and YM in descending order. Table 2: Visibility after 3 months (Asphalt pavement) After six months, YQ and YP fail to meet the set minimum threshold standards. Like before, YR tops the list followed by WC, WF, YL, WA, WB, WE, WG, YM, YN, AND YO in descending order. Table 3: Visibility after 6 months (Concrete pavement) These results indicate that YR still is the best alternative followed by WC with WA, WD, WG, YL, YM, YN, and YO only managing to
