Technology is a part of almost every industry as it makes work and life easier for people due to automatization of some processes and additional functions. The implementation of Electronic Health Records (EHR) platforms in hospitals and clinics also aims to improve staff efficiency, ease of access to data, and patient care quality. However, in practice, Electronic Health Records can bring both positive and negative consequences, depending on their quality and skills of professionals. The use of EHR platforms has many benefits for healthcare professionals. First, EHR increases doctors’ and nurses’ efficiency, reduces their workload, and improves communication, which is associated with the ease of searching and sharing information in electronic systems (Tsai et al., 2020). For example, the system often has fields required for filling, templates, reference values, as well as the ability to leave additional information for colleagues or a chat for communication between professionals. Consequently, the nurse or doctor saves time filling out all the details and searching for data and is also less likely to make mistakes. However, efficiency, workload, communication, and patient safety can also deteriorate, as shown by a systematic study (Tsai et al., 2020). However, the most common causes of such decrease are an inconvenience in using the system or poor computer skills of staff that complicate their work, limit the use of functions, and lead to stress. Consequently, if facilities apply quality software and train employees, the use of EHR is mainly beneficial for healthcare professionals. Moreover, EHR platforms also benefit the organization’s operations and patient care. First, the employee benefits described can also be used to work with patients. For example, a doctor or nurse can send detailed information on diagnosis and treatment to a patient, as well as use the EHR platform chat to answer questions and save time for consultation (Tsai et al., 2020). In addition, improved accuracy, accessibility, and organized data storage helps clinicians more fully and accurately analyze a patient’s situation and propose a suitable solution, which reduces the likelihood of errors. These advantages of working with the system also have economic benefits for hospitals and clinics associated with increased productivity, reduced administrative, documentary, nursing costs, and increased revenue (Tsai et al., 2020). Consequently, the main consequences of the introduction of EHR platforms are the reorganization of work, leading to an increase in employees’ efficiency and the healthcare institution as a whole. However, it is worth noting that all positive results depend on the quality of the implementation process. Quality de
Steve Smith makes several good points in his essay. Essentially he claims that academic researchers and writers are major contributors to the current situation, a world climate in which the events of 9/11 could and did happen. Smith contends that academics popularized the western view of international relations, including the mistaken notions gained from Weber’s now rather dated work and other distorted “outsider” views of the non-capitalist countries, which led to the oppositional stances of the major powers. Smith contends that academics represented their research as objective when objectivity in social science is nearly impossible. While I agree that his views have some validity, I would place less of the onus on academics and more on those who use them to support their agendas. Islam has become the demonized face of Jihad in the west. It began in the 1960s with two major writers on the political science front: Bernard Lewis and Samual Huntington. “It was Bernard Lewis who launched the hoax of the “Clash of Civilizations”—in a September 1990 Atlantic Monthly article on “The Roots of Muslim Rage,” which appeared three years before Brzezinski clone Samuel Huntington’s publication of his Foreign Affairs diatribe, “The Clash Of Civilizations.” Huntington’s article, and his subsequent book-length treatment of the same subject, were caricatures of Lewis’ more sophisticated British Orientalist historical fraud, which painted Islam as engaged in a 14-century-long war against Christianity. Huntington acknowledged that Lewis’ 1990 piece coined the term “Clash of Civilizations.” (Thompson and Steinberg 2001) It began with Lewis’s 1967 book, The Assassins, and continued until Lewis had created an entirely fictional account of Islam and the planned destruction of the infidels. Lewis began with Weber’s work and exaggerated it beyond all belief. Lewis created a 14-page history that read like the Arabian Nights, claiming that Bin Laden was simply following the Koran and cleansing the earth of the infidels. From his insulated cover at Princeton University, since 1949, Lewis has been feeding the ambitions of presidents to “clear up” the middle eastern problem. He has been the most influential expert on Islam and the middle east since then and has been the architect of such things as the madman Zbigniew Brzezinski’s “Arc of Crisis” policy of fomenting the Muslim Brotherhood fundamentalist insurrections all along the southern tier of the Soviet Union. The Iatollah Khomeni was overthrown with US assistance to root out the Jihadists. Because of th
Vision and strategic aims are fundamental in a fire service safety plan “Vision” can be described as “the ability to see or plan into the future”. An example of how this is fundamental in a fire and rescue safety plan is described in London fire Brigade’s safety plan 2008-11 London Brigade’s has determined that the overall vision should be: To be world class fire and rescue service for London, Londoners and visitor, to achieve this vision, London fire Brigade has determined a list of 6 strategic aims, examples of these aims are: prevention-engaging with London’s communities to inform and educate people in how to reduce the risk of fire and other emergencies; protection-influencing and regulating the built environment from harm; response-planning and preparing for emergencies that may happen, and making a high quality, effective and resilient repose to them. Vision’ and ‘strategic aims’ are essential in a safety plan as they set a clear direction for a service and determine key areas that the organization will focus on (London Fire Brigade, 2011). Vision is an important tool that fire and rescue services organization can use to obtain better strategies of improving performance. A vision provides the future of such organization and this helps develop the present resources to fit in the prevailing conditions. Vision can be described as the ability to configure what the future looks like and to plan for it. In the case of a company it refers to the picture of how a company should look like in the future (Dooley, 2005). Through a vision the main ideology and purpose of existence are formulated and these provide the basic direction to achieving the desired company development. Towards employees vision helps to fulfill an identity function and an identification function as well as mobilizing function. A vision describes the picture of the company in the future which makes it unique and distinctive. This serves as a sign of identity to the employees. Furthermore, a clear vision provides the staff with a sense and importance of their work. As a result, they are able to identify with the company which results in commitment towards their work and towards the vision as a common company objective (Sabrautzki, 2010). Strategic aims refer to the goals and objectives that will enable an organization achieve its desired future state. For objectives to be strategic they need to have three characteristics, suitable, whereby they address the main issues and are able to provide the desired results; feasible, whereby they can be achieved with the potential resources of the organization; acceptable, whereby they are supported by those with authority. Vision and strategic aims are important to a fire brigade Company in developing and achieving an effective fire safety plan. London Fire Brigade has a vision, which explains that it intends
The characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson have left an impact on American and British thoughts like never before. There were the Dickens days, when literary excellence swept across minds of readers, and next came Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, with his fiction series of his detective Holmes, and his partner, Dr. Watson. The two characters have been introduced, and even been compared in the beginning of the series, with Sherlock Holmes being given the superiority of observation, and Dr. Watson assisting him through his cases in the series. Sherlock Holmes is no doubt a ‘hero’, as he has been able to detect many instances that were left unsolved or remained unknown by others. The character had the potential to solve the cases that came up to him with least of effort, and with intelligent tackling, he was able to gain a name in the circle of detectives. He was also known as the ‘second highest expert’ in Europe, and due to his capabilities, was consulted by many for their mysterious cases. Holmes had the ability to join the broken pieces of the puzzles that were set before him, with his credulous skills in detection. He believed in nothing till all facts were known to him (Doyle, A., 2008). In one instance of the series Holmes declares that a wound that had been caused to an afflicted person of the story was by his own knife. This fact remained in disbelief till the very end, and none of the fellow detectives could accept the idea put forth by Holmes, and they seemed irrelevant and unwanted for the case at hand (Doyle, A & Roberts, S.). Evidence of the heroism of Holmes also lays in the fact that people who were reading him, adored his character, and when Sir Arthur stopped writing the series upon reaching a saturation point with Holmes, they began writing to him, and made “Lets Keep Holmes Alive” clubs, in hope of its continuation (Pierce, J.). However, he discontinued the series, with the end of it coming about with the detective’s death. The character of Sherlock Holmes was one of inexhaustible energy, despite his usage of cocaine at times, when not indulged in a case (Book Review: Sherlock Holmes, 2008). This being an essential aspect of the detectives life and routine, presents a modern day “hero” outlook, as in today’s world, the possession of high energy and the use of drugs is common practice. Holmes will forever be superior to all, including Dr. Watson and us readers, sue to his cleverness, as portrayed in the fiction series. His smartness and wit is what makes him a hero in the view of re
This paper looks at the different characteristics of leadership styles in relation to the executive A, B and C and defining at their effect in the management of the organization upon the retirement of the executive A. “Level 5” leadership style Any successful company must have had “level 5 leaders” at any time on its management. The “level 5” leaders are sometimes referred as ‘good to great leaders’, they take over the operation of any company at any level even when the company is in the verge of collapse, reconstitute the company and drives it to success. “Level 5” leaders are always associated with the high intellectual horsepower with high knowledge on the management of any company at any level. Level 5 leaders have high self confidence that enables them move towards success. They are also noted to be humble and modest people who posses workmanlike diligence. More notably, level 5 leader tend to give credit to the junior staffs that helped him in the success attainment (Bass, 1985). Considering the above description, executive A can clearly be classified as “level 5” leader since he took over the company when it was running at lose of more than two million dollars a year and its stock had plummeted to $23 a share and achieved a stock of 128% with good profit in the second Quarter. He also didn’t own the successes of the company but he gave it to other organizational leaders. Transactional leadership This is an outdated style of leadership that believes in power and authority excise over his employees. Transactional leaders tend to take control over their employees and they attach incentives and rewards for every good work done by the employees (Bass, 1985). The employees under such leadership bear a whole responsibility for any kind of task given to them since they are being punished for any kind of fault. The leaders in this kind of style are always observed as managers and not leaders. They do not embrace change in work environment or employees transformation but leaving everything constant unless in terms of crisis (Burns, 1978). Looking at the management strategies of the executive B, it’s clear that he fits in this kind of management style. Executive B believes in chain of command, attaching incentives and punishment to any kind of work done by the employees. The workers under this kind of leadership work under high pressure. Transformational leadership This is kind of style of that tends to create positive changes in the work environment and to their employees. These leaders convey the vision and goal of the company in such away that they inspire and motivate the employees hence having the ability to recharge and energizing the employees. Transformational leaders are usually characterized by their reputable mode of intellectual stimulati
Introduction Education is an essential phenomenon in the modern world because it provides people with decent opportunities for further personal and professional development. It is believed that graduates of high schools tend to achieve more successful results in their lives compared to their less-educated colleagues. Even though it is difficult to overestimate the significance of high school diplomas, a few students fail to obtain them. Thus, there are many reasons, including educational, psychological, personal, and financial ones, that make students drop out of high schools before their graduation. Educational Reasons It is not a surprise that academic performance is one of the principal aspects that result in a dropout. The fact is that high schools can imply various standards that their students must meet. For some of them, these requirements are almost unachievable, which makes learners fail some courses. When the number of failed courses is high, the student’s future in a particular educational establishment is determined. The outcome above is a result of a few things. On the
Air travel refers to a mode of transportation that relies on airplanes, helicopters, gliders, jets, blimps, hot air balloons, and other media that fly. Globalization has allowed the opening of international borders, making it possible for people and goods to move from one nation to another (Sajjad, Noreen & Zaman 2014). The increased trade among countries has led to the rise in the demand for air transport. Guttikunda, Goel, and Pant (2014) warn that the high usage of airplanes and the building of airports will have severe impacts on the environment. Ecologists cite the growth of air travel as one of the factors that are contributing to environmental pollution. Plane engines emit carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides that cause global warming. Besides, they produce a lot of noise which could have devastating effects on people who live near airports or flight paths. Construction of airfields impacts environmental conservation, leading to the loss of natural vegetation. There is a need to control air travel because it contributes to severe pollution. This paper will discuss the role of air travel in noise and air pollution and give reasons why this mode of transportation should be restricted. Noise Pollution Restricting air transport can minimize the amount of noise that airplanes make, therefore improving the quality of life of the people who reside near airports. Grampella et al. (2016) argue that folks whose houses are below flight paths or close to airports have challenges in sleeping and concentrating due to the sound that planes produce as they land or take off. Scientists argue that any noise that is above 57 decibels is likely to have severe impacts on people. Lawton and Fujiwara (2016) maintain that families or companies that are in proximity to airfields have exposure to sound that exceeds this limit, subjecting them to risk of becoming deaf or developing hearing problems. As pe
Introduction Education is a complex system of teacher-student interaction. The effective work of this system is presupposed by the teacher’s willingness and abilities to foster in a student the burning desire to know and the student’s readiness to collaborate with the teacher to become proficient in this or that sphere. Though curriculum, facilities and resources play a significant role in the process of education, to the greatest extent the letter is dependent on the professionalism of the teacher. No one would deny the fact that teaching is a challenging profession. During one’s teaching experience one encounters a lot of difficulties related both to his or her personal and professional development. It is especially true when it comes to young teachers who just start their teaching careers and face a lot of challenges during their transition from being students of teaching to teachers of students. It is very important that at this stage the beginners receive an adequate support not to lose their spirits and abilities to inspire others for learning. The current paper is concerned with the problem of induction support for beginning teachers. We seek to investigate the induction program through analyzing the findings of the three articles focusing on the problem under consideration. Namely, the articles are: Do Teacher Induction and Mentoring Matter? (2004) by Richard M. Ingersoll and Thomas M. Smith from the University of Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt University, correspondingly, First-Year Teachers and Induction Support: Ups, Downs, and In-Betweens (2007) by Sara Winstead Fry from Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, and Examining the Consequences of Inadequate Induction for Beginning Teachers (2008) by Heather Sharp, the University of Southern Queensland. Do Teacher Induction and Mentor
This question required a discussion of issues encountered in informatics, with the transition from two-dimensional image processing to three-dimensional image processing. It also required a discussion of different features of two-dimensional image processing that have been adopted in the three-dimensional image processing. The writer has illustrated some issues that are associated with this transition. A significant issue that arises is the difference existing for data between three-dimensional images and two-dimensional images. This has been illustrated in the essay. Images in three-dimensional images have large amounts of data that reflect on the image processing system. Moreover, data transfer between sensors and processors will be lower in the three dimensional case. Besides, unlike the two-dimensional images, the topological characteristics of three-dimensional images are complex. They are characterized by features such as knots, links, and holes. This complexity reflects on the design and evaluation of algorithms like surface thinning, thereby making 3D image processing more challenging. Region growing is an image operation that is easily transferable from the 2D image processing to 3D image processing. This has also been addressed in the essay. Similar illustrations are provided for edge detection in 3D image processing. However, the essay is poorly written, with numerous writing mistakes. Primarily, ideas in the essay are not organized in a logical manner that can be comprehended. In addition, unnecessary concepts form the bulk of the essay. For instance, there is an elaborate introduction to the field of bioinformatics, much of which would be applicable in a broader context. The definition of “imaging informatics” is unnecessary in this discussion, and it appears after the idea has been used in the literature. Indeed, the concept of informatics or bioinformatics is concerned with the activities involved in obtaining and processing information into a form that can be of better value in the relevant professions. The importance of imaging in medicine and other fields cannot be overemphasized. The difference in the human perception of 3D and 2D images that calls for 3D image processing is the major focus of development in the field of informatics. The last paragraph of the essay addresses the importance of the imaging technologies in the field of medicine. Indeed, their necessity in the study of the anatomy of human being is addressed here. In addition, the need for three-dimensional imaging as opposed to two-dimensional imaging is highlighted. These issues were not to be addressed in this discussion. Besides, the essay has many grammatical mistakes including use of verbs, tenses, articles, and prepositions. Missing punctuation marks, especially commas, are common throughout the essay. The writer has also shown poor writing skills in developing the essay. Numerous sentences in the essay are vague, incomplete, and not comprehensive, indicating a mixture of ideas
The United States Army is often considered the most successful military in the world. It is always a privilege to serve in the army. Officers are often faced with many challenges in the field and back in the barracks, but many are often keen on overcoming these hurdles to achieve career success. As a woman, I know that I not only have to face career-related challenges but also stereotypes because of my gender. As Kehle, Greer, Rutks, and Wilt (2011) explain, sometimes overcoming stereotypes may be more challenging than dealing with actual work-related problems. The fact that promotion is sometimes based on one’s gender can be frustrating, especially for an officer like me who is interested in achieving career success in this field. In this paper, I focus on addressing the ethical dilemma I face while serving in the army as I strive to achieve career success. An Ethical Dilemma in Public Administration The lifting of the ban for women to go into the armor, infantry, and the field artillery was a major mile stole in promoting equity in the United States military. As a female soldier, I saw an opportunity to pursue a career that I had a great interest in ever since I was a child. I knew that through hard work, I would climb the career ladder and become one of the first few female senior military officers. As Yano et al. (2010) state, America often rewards its committed and hardworking citizens. I knew that the principle applies to everyone regardless of one’s gander. I gave my career full attention and knew that with my impressive performance, I would be considered for promotion after some time. My hope for an illustrious career in the American Army was brought to question when I started learning more about the system and how women were treated. I learned that most women in the above branches that involved active service were expected to take different jobs within the army or quit the service to take care of their families. I realized that they were not expected to rise to higher ranks as their male counterparts. This knowledge was shocking to me. It explained why some of the male colleagues and junior non-commissioned officers did not take my hard work seriously. Few people, if any, seemed to notice my commitment and accomplishment within my department. They expected me to quit active service after a short while, just like others who have come before me. I had a serious problem with this perception. Ever since I joined the service, I had a vision of achieving the greatest success in my military career. I had wanted to demonstrate to girls in schools across the country that it is possible for a woman to succeed in the American military. After the tough training and starting the service, I realized that nothing would stop me from achieving my dreams.
