For the last fifty years, workforce in the U.S has experienced numerous changes. Although the number of men in the workforce is still higher than that of women, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of working women. For instance, the percentage was thirty four in the 1950s and this has increased to sixty percent today. These are clearly impressive statistics that prove that women have taken their rightful positions in the workplace. This probably can be attributed to various reasons. For instance, women nowadays do not get married as early as they used to in the past, they also take a longer period of time in advancing their education and bear fewer children. A great number of them nowadays continue with their working life as well as attending to the roles that are traditionally associated with parents (Women’s Safety and Health Issues at Work 1). At the workplace, women are faced by many challenges that are not faced by their male counterparts. This is partially due to the fact that men and women do not specialize in the same jobs. They usually have different types of jobs. Generally, there are work related cases that are associated with women. Some of them include respiratory diseases, carpal tunnel syndrome, stress disorders, infectious diseases caused by parasites and anxiety. In addition, women are exposed to risks of illness and injuries at the workplace as a result of social, cultural and economic factors. Some of the social factors may include marital problems and pressing family needs while economic ones include lack of enough finances to meet basic needs or bad debts. For example, a higher number of women than men take up part-time or contractual jobs. Contingent work is also in most cases associated with women. When compared with individuals who work in traditional job settings, contingent workers are lowly paid and enjoy limited benefits. Most women do not have the confidence to raise safety issues since they believe that such actions could cost them their jobs or be exposed to unbearable working conditions. This is a characteristic of all employees who work in jobs that are insecure. It is also common that they fear reporting injuries sustained at the workplace. In the American workforce, women from foreign countries popularly referred to as immigrants are vulnerable to workplace risks. They experience problems due to the immigrant status they carry and also issues as they try to balance family life and work. They work in places that expose them to a higher rate of injuries as compared to their native counterparts. Sexual harassment may be the root cause of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and headaches among other complications (Women’s Safety and Health Issues at Work 3). In my opinion, most women carry heavy burdens as they try to balance family responsibilities and work. This stresses them since they have to take care of children and the elderly. Women who find themselves in such s
Introduction Clinical safety is an avital element of healthcare quality that concentrates on preventing the threats of patients being exposed in their link to the healthcare programs (Leverenz et al., 2018). Falls have become an everyday event for hospitalized individuals, leading to negative results for hospitals and patients. Background data indicates that almost half of the patient’s falls can be avoided (Toye et al., 2017). Nurses are accountable for giving direct care to the patients and attaining the aim of reducing falls (Kempegowda et al., 2018). They have constant interaction with the patients and consistently monitor changes in conditions of the patient. This paper compares two studies that examine the influence of fall prevention measures by nurses on hospitalized patients. There is also an evaluation of limitations in both studies, the recommendation for future research, and a conclusion. Comparison of Research Questions The primary purpose of the study performed by Montejano-Lozoya et al. (2020) was to evaluate the impacts of an educational approach aimed at hospital nurses in minimizing patient falls. The study assessed executing research with interventions to maximize available evidence around what nurses should apply to reduce the problem. The research hypothesized that patients hospitalized to sections with trained nurses in systematic evaluation of the threats would fall less than those in areas where nurses have received any training. Whether the execution of systemized examination but nurses after patients admitted to medical units lower the occurrence of fall compared to traditional systems. The study completed by King et al. (2016) primary purpose of this Grounded Dimensional Analysis (GDA) was to examine nurses’ experiences. With prevention programs of patents fall in hospital systems and the effects of those experiences on nurses delivering care to fall high-risk patients. The strategy established in the study demonstrates the impact on nurses of intense communication from nursing management to reduce falls and the effects on older patients, the organization, and staff nurses. Comparison of the Sample Population The sample population in the Montejano-Lozoya et al. (2020) research entailed 593 patients, where 12 were excluded. Four Care Units with maximum average patients stay were selected in traumatology, nephrology, neurology, and General Internal Medicine. Two groups; the control and intervention were performed made of two Care units so that patients were from surgical and medical specia
Introduction Born in German, Peter Max is known for his enduring colored images and an enchanting style with a reflection of liveliness and enthusiastic spirit. Max with his contemporary Andy Warhol captured “Statue of Liberty, Mona Lisa, Mick Jagger and George Washington with the stroke of his brushes with his own unique style known as king Technicolor style.” Major part of his childhood was spent traveling with his parents to China, India, Africa, Israel and Paris until they finally settled at the United States. Admission at the Art Students League His passion for painting induced in him to take admission at the Art Students League, Pratt Institute, and the School of Visual Arts in New York. After he left the art school in 1960, he produced “cosmic imagery” that made him most popular figure in the world of art. He had also adopted expertise in graphic designs. The Life magazine gave him space on its cover page. Max is a very prolific artist having “worked with various acrylics, oils, water colors, pastels, charcoal, etchings, engravings, lithographs, serigraphs, silkscreens, sculpture and computer graphics.” e He was also influenced by commercial arts and art nouveau with the incorporation of psychedelic colors in floral and celestial patterns. f With his Cosmic 60’s art and transcendental Pop imagery, he has created an incredible impression upon the younger generation. He was among very few painters who were privileged to get a chance to paint for four former U.S Presidents. He also painted several posters for the inauguration ceremony of the President Bill Clinton and also got an opportunity to be invited at White House for painting of the historical moment of the day – signing of the Peace Accord. He is fortunate enough to put to display his paintings in around forty International museum shows, and more than fifty gallery shows all over the world and has appeared also in many of the collection centers of several museums including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Many of the Premier art institutions also display his solo paintings with his trademark that reaches across the borders. Peter Max’s Art Peter Max’s art is a personification and a representation of the spirited younger generation. Victor Zubel in 1960, art director of New York agency, Doyle Dane Bernbach also prophesized that “Max would be Walt Disney of the next generation.” Another contemporary painter Kean Deardoff who was the art director of the new defunct leftist magazine, Evergreen Review , gave prediction that he would “become the first artist since Norman Rockwell in the 40s to be known by the American public at large.” In 1967, Max was designing posters and soon when his company Security Printing Company began to receive large number of requests that they needed personal copies of the posters, Max formed the Peter Max Posters. Within the span of eighteen months, Peter sold 2.5 million posters and by the spring of 1969, it had appeared in many boutiques and restaurants. Peter
Introduction Gambling can be defined as bets that result to material or monetary gain or loss. Also defined as a game whereby the player takes risk hoping to gain material or monetary value on an uncertain outcome. It entails taking risks on uncertain events outcome to make a gain (Smith, 2001, p. 1). A person is said to be addicted to gambling if he/she is unable to avoid gambling. Causes of gambling Online gambling popularity has grown enormously with development in technology. Computer addiction has lead to an increment to online gambling addiction, due to computer addiction one develop tolerance to computer usage. This leads to greater need of stimulating material in the internet, gambling provide the stimulation that one anticipate to gain. One develops the urge to gamble, which eventually leads to an addiction. It can also be attributed from genetic disorder, persons born in a family with an online gambling addiction has a tendency of themselves inheriting the addiction. It is based on the assumption that the gambling genes are passed on by parents to their young ones (Ladouceur, 2002, p. 1). Young age gambling can lead to addiction; as young people do it for the thrill. As they grow old they find it hard to stop, as it become habitual to them. Anxiety or depression shows a strong propensity to gambling addiction. Early win in gambling act as an enticement for one to continue gambling, this give one unrealistic success and always want to repeat the experience again and again. Nowadays internet access is readily available to the majority of the population, as people search for satisfaction they engage themselves in online activities like gambling, since they are readily available (McCarthy, 2005, p. 1). The readily available internet access means one has complete control of his own online activities. Others are a case of immaturity, being rebellious, in secure and being detached from reality. This leads them to engage in online gambling to prove
The case revolves around a 22-year-old male, John, whose age category is “Younger Individuals.” It is important to note that the client’s educational category is high school. The case presents an individual who has no evident physical disabilities but has certain learning or cognitive ones, which is especially prominent in math skills. Since he is capable of performing physical labor and any form of work, which does not involve strenuous cognitive skills, his Residual Functional Capacity is a non-complex low stress work with an emphasis on physical labor. In accordance with the Dictionary of Occupational Titles or DOT, John’s category, he is capable of handling medium work due to his short stature and low weight of 120 lbs. (Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT), n.d.). John does not need any form of reasonable accommodations and assistive technologies. The three jobs interesting for John are web designer, video game creator, and truck driver. For the latter, the DOT Code is 905.663-014, whereas the code for a web designer can be 141.061-038 for commercial designers or 030.062-010 for software engineers (DOT, n.d.). It is important to point out the fact that the code will depend on whether or not the emphasis of the position is put on design elements or code-related technical aspects (DOT, n.d.). The code 030.062-010 for software engineers is also applicable for video game developer jobs (DOT, n.d.). Therefore, the first two jobs of interest are mostly in the field of information technology areas, whereas the truck driving occupation is preferred by John for the potential growth into a business, which he can one day own himself. Both web designer and video game developer positions require an in-depth knowledge of programming languages, which rely heavily on one capability for operating and working with math at an advanced level. In other words, John’s RFC on jobs not requiring a high level of math can become a major hindrance in regards to these positions. In addition, these two positions are highly complex jobs, which counteracts with John’s RFC in regards to non-complex jobs. Therefore, the only job, which is compatible with the client’s RFC is the truck driver position because it is not as complex as the other two, and driving does not rely heavily on math. Although truck driving can be a stressful job, it is not evident if it is true, and thus, it is important for John to experience the job-related himself and determine whether he can handle it. The truck driver job is also compatible with John’s RFC because he scored high at being an excellent worker, who follows instructions, has an outstanding attitude and motivation, and is punctual. All of these qualities are highly important for truck driving jobs. In modern conditions, the social adaptation of disabled people
Introduction Processed food, ready for immediate consumption, gains popularity all over the world as people are busy and often do not have time to cook, preferring to buy a pre-made meal. According to the survey held in 2013, approximately 60% out of 1,000 Americans used canned foods once or twice a week (MacPherson, 2020). This number has recently increased due to the global situation, connected with the COVID-19 pandemic, as people began to purchase more preserves to limit visits to the stores. Today, about 98% of Americans claim to keep canned foods in their kitchens, an average of 24 cans (Byrnes, 2020). Such food provides numerous advantages, including its long shelf life, convenience for storage, provision of good nutrients and vitamins, and low cost. However, extreme consumption of processed products can damage health due to multiple chemicals and artificial ingredients they contain and lead to such serious medical conditions as obesity and increase of sugar and cholesterol levels in the blood. Moreover, ecologists all over the world are concerned with the environmental damage, caused by canned food, providing side effects not only to the human organism but to nature’s state. Side Effects of Canned Food Chemicals and Artificial Ingredients in Canned Food Canned food often contains many chemicals and artificial ingredients, which may be harmful to the organism, especially in high doses, when a person regularly uses these products for their diet. According to Arielle Kestenbaum, a clinical dietitian, “most of the time there is no real difference in the nutritional value <…> What does make the difference, however, is what’s added to preserve or “increase” the flavor” (Buckingham, 2020, para. 6). One class of preservatives often used in processed food is sulfites, such as sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite, and potassium bisulfite (The Alternative Daily, n.d.). These ingredients may lead to a severe allergic reaction; if a person experiences breathing problems within thirty minutes after eating canned food, they should immediately call for medical help. Moreover, these products often contain bisphenol-A (BPA), despite its chemical’s toxic effects (The Alternative Daily, n.d.). According to Kestenbaum, “about 10% of canned foods still have linings that carry the chemical” (Buckingham, 2020, para. 3). This ingredient has been found to cause hormonal disruption, which may lead to infertility, breast and prostate cancer, diabetes, obesity, and neurological conditions, such as ADHD in children. Canned foods also contain excess sodium to increase their shelf life, which may result in the negative impact on the organism’s performance. According to the experts, large amounts of sodium “can cause negative effects on blood pressure and other heart-related conditions, and may also lead to water
Introduction Most politicians that run for an elected position utilize political platforms that emphasize certain benefits to be given to the populace. This can come in the form of proposed resolutions to budgetary problems, controlling spiraling government debt, reduction of violent crime and even providing jobs to millions of individuals that have been put out of work as a direct result of a financial recession. While such platforms are inherently effective in inciting positive public opinion towards a particular candidate, it is often the case that promises made based on these platforms are not always kept when a candidate is elected into the position they ran for. While it may be true that political and economic realities often hinder such promises from being carried out, it is rather interesting to realize that a vast majority of people that have been elected into government positions in the past have rarely carried out the actions that they say justifies them as a capable individual for a particular position. The result is a certain degree of stagnation in governmental processes, methods, and procedures wherein the necessary changes that need to be implemented have not been done so due to most of these individuals failing to follow through on promises they made at the start. Responsibility Lies with the People It must be noted though that this situation is only partly the fault of elected officials, most of the blame should go to the people that elected in the first place. The election system they put in place rewards inaction, coddling, and lying while at the same time punishes those who want change, speak the truth, and are trying to get people to understand the necessity of enduring certain sacrifices to create an efficient and beneficial system for all. What must be understood is that the general public often supports candidates that say what they want to hear while they shun those who advocate aspects related to sacrifice and n
The study of the US Constitution of 1787 and the Bill of Rights helps to study American judicial peculiarities in detail. An in-depth analysis makes it possible to trace the specifics of the formation of the political and legal system by a concrete example and to consider specific historical conditions as a source of law in a broad sense of this concept. In addition, these documents are interesting from the point of view of those principles of state structure and management that are laid in it since they, in their turn, influenced the constitutional experience of other countries. Nevertheless, under the impact of the state elites and stakeholders, certain changes were made to the already adopted document. These alterations were called amendments, and one of the most significant of them, which was relevant to the specifics of the country’s legal proceedings, was the Sixth Amendment. Its adoption allowed achieving improvement of the state’s main document and establishing the order of the judicial system, which in many respects remained unchanged by this day. Basic Principles of the Sixth Amendment The Sixth Amendment, adopted in accordance with the need to improve the judicial system of the country, contains some general principles of proceedings. In particular, it is about the right of the accused to a speedy jury trial of the state and district where the crime was committed, publicity of the trial, and providence the accused with the main procedural rules. These constitutional principles formed the basis of the criminal process and were subjected to detailed regulation in the decisions of the US Supreme Court. For almost two hundred and thirty-nine years, the provisions of this Amendment have been leading in the sentencing of the accused and are regarded as the fundamental principles of the judicial law. Any deviations from the terms of the Amendment imply a severe violation of the constitutional provisions. Nevertheless, some researchers consider this amendment one of the mechanisms for manipulating power and using illegal working conditions. For example, Moore (2016) mentions the Sixth Amendment as an anti-democratic document and explains it by the fact that many vulnerable categories of the population do not have access to the provisions of the Amendment. In particular, the author mentions the right to a lawyer and argues that poor people cannot count on the protection of the state in case of problems
Through various literary devices, poets are able to paint pictures for their readers that more concretely define the feelings and beliefs that remain, for most of the world, almost impossible to define. The effect of a poem, however, often depends on the ability of the poet to present their ideas, emotions, and impressions with strong imagery. This effectively paints a mental image for the reader (or listener) that cannot be denied and therefore begins to conjure up a sense of sympathy with the emotional response the poet has to the subject. These concepts are sharply illustrated in much of the poetry of Sylvia Plath. The story that emerges in the poem is of a woman who has lived in fear and awe of a male person for as long as she can remember. The fear is evident in her metaphor of him as “Marble-heavy, a bag full of God, / Ghastly statue with one gray toe / Big as a Frisco seal” (8-10). Later, she compares her fear of this male figure to the fear the Jews felt for the Nazis, seeing herself as being shipped off to the concentration camps and describing her father’s appearance in terms of the perfect Aryan. “But no less a devil for that, no not / Any less the black man who / Bit my pretty red heart in two” (54-56). Finally, her description of the man she married as the model of her father indicates his deep cruelty because he has a “love of the rack and the screw” (66). She ends the poem by indicating her father has been an evil vampire, sucking her life dry and finally buried with a stake in his heart to the delight of the villagers. Her beginning and end of the poem, each expressed in terms of anger and fear, leaves no doubt that her fear outweighed any other emotions she had of this male figure. Throughout the poem, though, Plath provides plenty of clues that her love for her father was very strong, calling into question the source of the hostility found within the poem. She opens the poem with her anger toward her father as she describes the oppressive environment of trying to live in a black shoe, “barely daring to breathe or
