The political powers are not always shared among the strongest political parties that establish well-planned political platforms to meet the expectations of the electorate and win the elections. The importance of the political platform should be taken into account while planning the electoral campaign even if the part has a candidate nominated for the role of a president in case of victory. However, the economic and social aspects of the political platform are significant for a candidate who is planning to become a representative of the people’s will and demonstration of democratic power and freedoms of the country. The President Franklin D. Roosevelt is widely known for his struggle with the economic instability in the United States of America right after the Great Depression and enthusiasm that is believed to have contributed greatly to the effect of optimism he shared with people of his country. The political platform of Democrats can be clearly seen in the inaugural speech of the elected 32 nd President of the United States of America, Franklin D. Roosevelt, which has a few bright recognizable features such as optimism, emphasis on the economical situation in the country, need for social changes, and interweaving of these concepts and problems that occurred in the country due to the crisis with the discussion of moral values and virtues that should be the primary driving forces of each citizen of the United States. The employment issue is one of the greatest concerns of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his administration and he managed to express this concern in his inaugural speech: “Our greatest task is to put people to work” (Roosevelt, “Inaugural Address” 4). This means that the President and his administration were going to bring some changes into practice concerning the social and economic stability to foster the prosperity and rise the number of their supporters for the future electoral campaign. The more the president was talking about the social and economic changes and moral values of people, the more people wanted to believe that their will is influential in this case. Besides, the structure of the speech was well-planned in order to make people think more positively towards the coming changes and cultivate the willingness in them to become a part of the anti-depression program and serve in the name of good reasons. The president adds after mentioning the employment opportunities, “this is no unsolvable problem if we face
The idea of incorporating music into a nurse’s therapeutic toolkit has been a subject of healthcare-related debates for quite some time. The article asserts that music can, indeed, be used as a therapeutic tool for multiple purposes, particularly, for addressing specific health concerns. Namely, Scott points to the research outcomes that prove the ability of the human heart to synchronize its beating with a particular musical rhythm. Therefore, the article suggests that music can be used for relaxation, as well as managing the health issues that may arise due to the lack of relaxation. The article by Elizabeth Scott serves as quite an inspiration for further research and the improvement of the current healthcare practice. Specifically, given the opportunities for managing heart rate and breathing patterns in patients, music can be used not only in the context of CVD and associated heart issues. Furthermore, due to the opportunity to build the framework for controlled breathing, music therapy could be used for health conditions such as asthma. Thus, the paper indicates the possibility of managing both temporary and chronic physical health problems. In addition to physical health issues, music could ostensibly be integrated into the framework for managing mental health concerns, such as anxiety. Scott explains that the described goal can be achieved by introducing opportunities for patients to control their breathing, heart rate, and, by extension, their blood pressure. Thus, by asserting greater control over the physical manifestations of their mental health problems, patients will be able to focus on managing the causes of their distress more closely and effectively. Overall, the article by Scott can be used to improve the current approaches to health management in several domains, including heart disease, respiratory issues, and mental health problems. Therefore, the article needs to be considered closer as an essential piece of evidence. Being a tool for a major potential improvement in healthcare, music should be regarded as a critical factor in health management.
Introduction Business analysis is the process of evaluating businesses, projects, budgets, and human resource management. Comprehensive business analysis often endeavors to establish stability, solvency, liquidity, profitability, and sustainability of the same in a firm. Thus, this reflective treatise attempts to explicitly analyze business environment in General Mills Company on the facets of competitive advantage, change management, diversity management, recruitment and selection, compensation and benefits, and organizational culture. The results are interpreted in comparison with ideal situations and recommendations made based on the findings. Overview of General Mills Company Established in 1880, General Mills Company has attained a strong presence in the grain market of America. Headquartered in Minneapolis, this century old company has a workforce of more than 20,000 employees and 200 stores. In the 2012 financial year, the company realized a net sale of $16.7 billion in its local, international, and foodservice segments. The local segment comprises such brands as Yoplait, Cheerios, Pillsbury, Yogurt, and Betty Crocker. The international segment includes joint venture brand such as Haagen-Dazs. The company fills a niche as the best grain store in America. The values of this multinational company are innovation, great brands, performance, and corporate social responsibility. In order to establish sustainability of its business lines, it is necessary to carry out segmental analysis of various principles of its operation. Competitive Advantage Analysis General Mills Company has an active presence in America with an expanding presence in emerging markets including Japan, and Europe. In the past five years (from 2008 to 2012), revenues from sales have doubled annually. Analysis of liquidity is necessary as it establishes the ability of an organization to maintain positive cash flow, while satisfying immediate obligations. Financial gearing shows that General Mills Company’s vulnerability to risk is generally low since it has endeavored to offer high quality and favorite grain brands at the lowest possible market price. With the current statistics expecting the growth of households interested in its products by 10%, the company is in a position to survive in the competitive market alongside the established competitors, such as Tesco form the UK which has established a strong market in the US. However, Tesco is becoming a major competitor. Operation efficiency and market niche provide an indication of how well a company manages its resources, and employs its assets to generate sales and income. It also shows the level of activity of the corporation as indicated by the turnover ratios. The level of activity for General Mills Company has remained relatively stable over the five year period despite threat of counterfeiting, increased taxation, competition, and
Nearly everything in this world has a meaning; the same applies to art. Art being a sensitive term, several individuals have come up with different techniques of defining art. Each of these individuals has had his own perception and explanations concerning the definition of art. With regard to this, there isn’t a universally accepted definition for art. Most of these individuals define the term referring to certain concepts that are usually considered as main terns such as beauty and aesthetic. Art may be said to be an object that has beauty. Some individuals may also refer to it as some kind of proficiency that usually leads to something with an aesthetic value. The artistic activity however requires a great skill of creativity to the individual who per takes it. This manuscript will concentrate on the different ways to approach the definition of art. Art has been described to be very global thus it encompasses a wide range of concepts in finding its definition. Techniques to approach the meaning of art have greatly been linked with time. To begin with, the classical meaning of art greatly emphasizes on not only skills but also craft. Skills and craft may be said to be the main activities entailed in art. Through this way art may be defined as a final artifact of a high level of knowledge
Being a nurse manager is a very complex job. It involves organizing people with varying personalities, skills, and education to give high-quality and safe patient care (Yoder-Wise, 2011). A nurse manager is responsible for financial management, patient outcomes, and resource utilization. Therefore, a good and efficient nurse manager should provide the necessary leadership that will ensure that the care given at the hospitals is in accordance with the organization’s policy (Whitehead, Weise & Tappen, 2010). This paper will examine the qualities of Nicole Harrison, a Nurse Manager in the Intensive Care Unit of MD Anderson Cancer Center. Nicole Harrison has been an employee of Texas University Hospital since 2005 (FindTheBest, 2012). Currently, she enjoys an annual salary of $151200. She had been in the nursing profession for quite some time and has enjoyed working in four other hospitals before finally landing at this hospital in 2005. Nicole was employed by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center agency as a nurse but eventually rose up the ranks to the current position. She has been working as a nurse for 20 years acting in various capacities in different hospitals. She believes that her current work is the best and hopes to spend the remaining professional years at this place. Nicole is a level four nurse, with all the certifications needed. She currently holds a master’s degree in nursing. Nicole is pursuing a Ph. D in nursing at the hospital’s university (FindTheBest, 2012). She is therefore an expert nurse with a lot of experience. She is also a fully registered nurse and a licensed Vocational Nurse approved to operate anywhere in the United States. All these educational qualifications coupled with her work experience have helped her attain the current position as a Nurse Manager (Whitehead et al, 2010). The Intensive Care Unit MD Anderson Cancer Center’s roles include the provision of anesthesia care, life support, and pain management for patients that require intensive care at this hospital (The University of Texas, 2013). The care provided to the patients at this level is very detailed. A team of care experts and nurses work together to ensure the needed care is effectively administered to patients. As a nurse manager in the intensive care unit of the hospital, Nicole plays a major role in ensuring that all operations in the unit run effectively (The University of Texas Medical School, 2006). The numbers of nurses that work under her supervision are 200. The hospital has 52 intensive care unit beds where the nurses operate in shifts to ensure 24 hours daycare is offered to the patients (The University of Texas Medical School, 2006). This means that the amount of responsibility dedicated to her by the hospital is a lot (The University of Texas, 2013). Therefore, she ensures the unit’s performance is kept at par with other units with the aim of achieving the hospital’s mission. She believes in several leadership philosophies that have helped her perform her duties effectively. She says that for an individual to be a leader, the person must possess integrity, be empathetic, consistent and fair (Harwood, 2012).
Introduction and Background The progress of technology has changed the process of recruiting dramatically. Today, due to the rapid expansion of the web, people can apply for a job in just a few clicks, and large companies and recruitment agencies face the challenge of sorting through thousands of resumes in a search for a perfect candidate. In order to increase efficiency in hiring and streamline the recruitment process, companies can resort to automated software solutions to reduce the human involvement in the hiring process. Such systems can automate the process of hiring by using computer algorithms to select the best applicants according to the requirements specified. Since the late 1990s, the recruiting process has largely moved online, and many large enterprises and small businesses are now using online services for applicant search and electronic resume management (Munger 276). At the same time, in the last two decades more and more people turned to the Internet in their job search efforts (Smith par. 2). The 2015 data shows that more than two-thirds of all United States citizens used online resources in their job search efforts (Smith par. 2). The internet has made applying for a job much easier for job seekers, since anyone can submit their resume through a form on a company’s website or apply through job board websites. At the same time, it made the recruiting process on the part of the companies much more complex due to a larger number of resumes waiting to be processed (Hunt 56). The quality of the final decision at least partially limited by the number of applicants the hiring manager is able to process. It is one of the reasons why companies might consider automatic system to process applicant’s resumes. The automated system for job applications screening can be considered as a piece of software which can help large organizations improve the hiring process by freeing up the hiring manager’s time. Such automated systems were introduced more than a decade ago and are called Applicant Tracking Systems (Zielinski par. 1). Technological progress is likely to make these systems smarter and more functional over time. The Overview of the Automated System for Job Application Processing The automated system for job application processing can operate in the following way:  1. Applicants sent their resumes through the online form on the company’s website or to the specified email address.  2. The received resumes are then stored as a database entry ready to be processed by the automated system.  3. The recruiters use the automated system to filter through the applications according to a keyword or any other applicable parameter. The recruiters can then view the search results or narrow them further by applying new filters.  4. The recruiter makes the decision to invite a particular applicant to an interview or hire them right away.  5. The recruiter contacts the applicant to invite them to an interview or send the required documents to be hired for a position, Theoretically, such s
There are many aspects that affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medicines. Simmons (2020) distinguishes internal and external factors between the factors influencing patients’ pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic processes. The external ones include the ambient temperature, the solubility of drugs, their isomerism and polarity, as well as the intake of medicines into the body, including the dosage form, the method and duration of administration, the dose, and the combination of drugs. In turn, internal factors include gender, age, genotype and phenotype of the patient, as well as his physiological aspects and pathologies, including nutrition, pregnancy, lactation, stress, comorbidities, alcoholism, and smoking. Thus, the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of drugs depend on all these aspects. In this case, it is vital that the patient has hypertension, so Lithium should be taken with caution. Moreover, patients with diabetes mellitus should be given a specific dosage of the drug. Fazio et al. (2017) assert that elderly and debil
Insulin Delivery Techniques It is important to note that insulin delivery is primarily conducted through injection, which is why it is of paramount importance to be able to properly operate the given procedure. The main reason for the unavailability of oral delivery is the fact that insulin is easily digestible by enzymes, and thus, the hormone needs to be transferred directly into the bloodstream. Before the procedure, a person needs to wash his or her hands with soap in order to make the process as sterile as possible. The technique of injections begins with the preparation of one’s insulin supplies and a fresh syringe, where the premixed or intermediate insulin is gently stirred. Then, it is important to remove the cap from the syringe and pull the plunger to fill the syringe with air equivalent to the dose. After, one needs to insert the needle into the vial and push the plunger until the air is emptied into the syringe because it helps to balance the draw up of insulin due to pressure stabilization. The syringe needs to be filled with insulin to the desired amount, and newly formed air bubbles in the syringe need to be removed by pushing the plunger until there are no air bubbles left. It is of paramount importance to avoid contaminating the needle by not letting it touch anything besides the area of injection. Insulin can also be delivered through a pen, where one needs to follow the manufacturer’s specific instructions for usage. Injection Process The injection technique includes folding of the skin in the area of injection, but it is important to note that one should not fold the skin too tightly or too loosely. The area of injection needs to be sterilized and cleaned with alcohol prior to injection. The skin needs to be pinched with one’s first finger and thumb, where either pen or syringe needs to be inserted at a 90-degree angle with one quick motion. It is important that the needle of a syringe is inserted fully, after which the plunge needs to be pushed gradually with a steady pace until it is empty, where the whole delivery process after insertion needs to take 10 seconds for a pen and 5 seconds for a syringe. The needle needs to be also removed at a 90-degree angle, and the site of injection needs to be pressed with one’s finger for a few seconds in order to prevent leakage of insulin. The syringe or the needle of a pen needs to be disposed of appropriately in thick plastic containers. Injection Area In the case of areas of injections, it is important to conduct rotations of these sites because continuous use of one site can lead to an unpleasant experience, pain, discomfort, inflammation, and lipodystrophy, which is a fat tissue breakdown (American A
An epiphany moment is unexpected observation or revelation that has a profound impact on one’s life. Epiphany moment can be spiritual or non-spiritual. At least, everyone has an epiphany experience, which not only changes one’s personal thinking, but also his or her way of life. Elise Ballard writes an inspirational book after conducting personal interviews with people from different backgrounds. Each of her interviewees had to give a moment of epiphany in their lives that completely changed their lives. Although Ballard describes epiphany with view of spiritual or social context, epiphany is also available in other non- spiritual realms of life such as sports, businesses, and health among others. People undergo personal experiences that make them take up sporting activities and become successful sportsmen or lose their sporting careers. Majority believe that most people who get involved in sports have an inborn talent. On the contrary, anyone who is determined to achieve a successful career in sports can do so. Through insights, personal experiences, and motivation, most people are able to venture into sporting activities like athletics. The desire to achieve a gold medal can inspire an athlete to work extremely hard and fully venture into a sports career. Additionally, some people venture into sports after the success of a close relative or friend. Through either motivation or close relationship with a famous sportsperson, he/ she might decide to change his/her career thereby becoming a sportsperson. Famous sportsmen like Kipchoge Keino and Muhammad Ali have inspired and motivated young persons to venture into sports. For instance, through inspiration and close relationship with Muhammad Ali her father, Leila Ali fully ventured into boxing achieving success. On the other hand, Tiger Wood’s elder brother inspired him to become a golfer. He not only trained him, but also managed his profession, thereby leading to the Woods’ success in the sports world. Since ancient times, boxing and taekwondo was a male dominated sport. Recently, many women have also ventured into the sport. Although some of the women take up the sport for competing purposes, others venture into the sport for personal defense. The current society is full of physical abuse especially to the female gender. Most women and girls experience rape or physical abuse from either their spouses or men, which affects th
My Coordinated Management of Meaning will be a conversation between two of my friends who were discussing football. Both of them were supporting the team that had won the premier league. As they both were discussing the results, it was apparent they were excited about the result. One of the phenomena in their conversation was speed. The exchange of words and information was so fast that an outsider would not have understood the meaning of any information that was passed either by word of mouth or by actions. The second phenomenon was transparency. In this conversation, very little could be hidden from their action and expression of joy throughout the entire time. The Coordinated Management of Meaning between my two friends was quite easy to understand. For instance, when my friend wanted to explain how impressed he was by a certain move by a player that they both agreed had played well, all he needed to do was to show the move physically. That way, anyone watching from a distance can easily tell that the two fellows were discussing matters to do with football. The decoding and exchange of information in this Coordinated Management of Meaning, therefore, assumed a rather fast motion compared to a normal chat in a normal conversations. The speed at which the exchange of information is happening in this conversation shows clearly that these two are very close friends. It is very easy to express emotions to show happiness or anger between the two fellows because they have a common language. The use of signs that are used when two parties are conversing helps them communicate faster, and information is exchanged and decoded immediately. When describing the first score, for instance, my friend jumped up with raised hands and a smile on his face, then he took a small turn as if he was running in celebration. That signified that there a score had been made. In the same way, a frustrated and long face was made when the two were expressing their displeasure with the referee’s decision to punish one of the players from their team. This was signified by a two fingers in the mouth and one hand raised. That meant that the referee was blowing the whistle while lifting a disciplinary card with the other hand. In this conversation, one thing was very clear. The two were very explicit in showing their emotion, and it was very easy to tell the points of displeasure and the points where the two were satisfied. This conversation was very transparent that anyone would have easily decoded it. However, there were some signs that although they were transparent, they were also difficult to decode, but on general terms, the conversation was manlily filled with the physical exchange of information, so it was easy to tell. This paper has discussed the logi
