Introduction This paper explores how poor safety of medical workers may negatively affect patient care. The safety of medical personnel, particularly nurses and physicians, is directly connected to patient safety. Unsafe work conditions can negatively affect nurses’ high-level clinical judgment. There are healthcare initiatives that can improve the consequences of the issue but it is crucial to identify their limitations. Inadequate workforce safety also has broader implications on other issues in healthcare, such as incident reporting and clinician burnout. Unsafe work environments also create the need for advancing communication. Overview Medical professionals face hazardous workplace environments and continuous moral distress, which contributes to an increased rate of adverse preventable consequences, both personal an
Current research deals with the analysis of Pompidou Centre design through the prism of architect’s work that influenced its construction. The type of design and methodological approach to architecture are the most crucial things in the process of creating new public buildings which are from the start are designed to be unique and beautiful. There is no denying the importance of the fact that Renzo Piano as one of the leading architects in modern architecture influenced much the direction of design work as he worked cooperatively with other famous architects during construction of Pompidou centre. Therefore, current essay does not only provide the outline of Pompidou Centre design but seeks to analyze how Renzo’s approach to architecture influenced the design of this building. Pompidou centre had being built during considerably long period between 1971 and 1977 and was aimed to serve several functions. It houses vast public library, French National Museum of Art and the centre of acoustic research and music named IRCAM (Stennott, 2004, p. 457). Apart from Renzo Piano the architectural style of whom will be analyzed later, several other arc
Confucianism Confucianism ethics is based on the importance of gaining a strategic organization. According to Confucianism, alignment between the company’s methods and person’s conduct is significant for attaining the unanimity of the group. Three dimensions of eligibility are necessary: between people, between employees and workers, and between business strategy and atmosphere (He, 2011). The case of DoCoMo, a Japanese company, is an example of the beneficial application of Confucianism (He, 2011). Uncertain and quickly-changing market demands to employ resilience and speed while making decisions. DoCoMo’s success was based on the quick design of a social network. The most important factor contributing to the company’s high achievement was the high rate of integration and value reflection the company had with its partners (He, 2011). In my opinion, the morality of Confucianism is justified. This ethical principle allows the companies to achieve high results both within a firm and with the partners. The integration allows business partners to achieve the aims and responsibilities and establish high rates of engagement. Such an approach makes the employees within a company closer and leads to better alignment with external partners. Moral Sensitivity One of the components of moral behaviour is moral sensitivity: the ability to detect an ethical problem, including how one’s actions will influence other people. This principle takes its roots from Kantian’s ethics and deontology and presupposes, giving priority to moral duties rather than results (Thomas, 2015). In Brook and Christy’s study (2013), it is mentioned that business school students are inclined to participate in unethical activities if that may enhance their business achievement (Brook & Christy, 2013). However, the importance of moral sensitivity is emphasised by many professionals. Parrish (2016) mentions the case of a man who has four different account books: for his family, bankers, the Internal Revenue Service, and the last one reflecting the real situation (Parrish, 2016). The author considers it time-consuming and costly, let alone unethical. I consider the principle of moral sensitivity an integral part of any business. However, popular the company might be, if it loses trust, it loses everything. Thus, I find ethical behaviour and thinking about the impact of one’s actions on other people a crucial element of success. Overconfidence The principle of overconfidence involves the CEOs having too much trust in their power, which leads to adverse outcomes for the companies. The most common result of overconfidence is the failure of merger decisions (Malmendier & Tate, 2008). As the research by Chen (2010) shows, the cases of CEOs being overconfident bring adverse outcomes for the companies. There are two basic explanations for the narcissistic conduct of CEOs: prejudices in information mechanism and consequences of unprejudiced subjective mistakes (Chen, 2010). Thus, CEOs’ decisions may be based not only on the desire to increase profits for personal benefit but also on the misinterpretation of the real situation (Chen, 2010). While overconfidenc

How the first New York subway was constructed  6. How Beach’s subway could be built today  7. Conclusion Abstract The main aim of this paper was to report on the construction of the first subway in New York, and how the subway would be constructed in modern times. Alfred Ely Beach is credited for constructing the first subway in New York. Beach’s subway operated from 1870-1873 after which it closed down because of financial and political factors. Beach constructed the pneumatic subway tunnel by using a tunneling shield. He also designed a train car, which fitted perfectly into the pneumatic tube. Due to the advanced technology present in modern times, the subway would involve more sophisticated technology. Introduction A subway system refers to a special category of trains that operate through underground tunnels. Subway systems consist of several rails, which begin and end at dissimilar places but at the same time overlap at certain points to enable passengers to alight. The rails, used in subway systems, are similar to other railway systems. This means that the subway rails have similar measurements to other railway lines. For example, “in New York City the subway rails’ gauge is 4 feet, 8.5 inches” (Carey 16). The trains also consist of numerous connecting cars that have seats and, straps that enable passengers to hold on to whenever the train is full (Carey 17). Steam engines powered subways, which operated in the past. However, today most subways use electricity to operate. The construction of the first subway in the world took place in London around mid the 19 th century. The idea of subway construction later spread to other cities in the world. For instance, the New York subway was the first subway in America. This paper explores the construction of the first New York subway. It examines how, when, and where the first New York subway was constructed. Place, Period, and Size of the First New York Subway The construction of the first New York subway is attributed to Alfred Ely Beach. Alfred Ely Beach was a native of Massachusetts. Beach was a publisher, a patent lawyer, and an inventor (Carey 16). For example, he invented the typewriter for the blind. However, one of the most famous inventions, which Beach came up with, was the first subway system in New York (Fischler 23). The subway system was known as the Beach Pneumatic Transit
Introduction According to Campante and Chor (2012), the last decade witnessed a situation of unrest in the Arab world, with civilians in a substantial number of countries rising against the regimes that were deemed to be autocratic. The full scale of the revolution was witnessed in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, where the scale of action was quite high, leading to the toppling of the heads of states of these countries. However, there have been a lot of debates about the post-revolutionary developments, which raises a lot of questions about the worthiness and the level of success attained by the revolution. The question of publicizing of the revolution in the Arab world also comes out strongly, considering the nature of political changes that have taken effect since the end of the revolution. Most of the questions about the post-revolutionary developments revolve around the composition and nature of national governance for the countries and whether the citizenry can derive the goals they were pressing for during the revolution (Campante & Chor 2012). In this paper, it is argued that the post revolutionary political developments in the Arab world depict the prevalence of the problem of political change in these countries, which denotes weaknesses in the advancement of the revolution. This paper presents a critical discussion of the post-revolutionary situation in Egypt. The paper begins with a brief discussion of the advancement of the revolution in Egypt. This is followed by a critical analysis of the political developments that are taking place in Egypt since the end of the revolution and their implications on the revolution. Overview of the Egypt Revolution It is critical to note that one
Introduction We Have Always Lived in the Castle , written by Shirley Jackson and published in 1961, was the final novel of the author, representing several characteristics of her personality. As mentioned by Bartnett for the Guardian, the female characters of the novel are “yin and yang of Shirley’s own inner self – one, an explorer, a challenger, the other a contented, domestic homebody.” The novel tells the story of two sisters – Merricat Blackwood, who is characterized as headstrong and naïve, and her older sister Constance Blackwood, who avoids venturing any further than her garden. The main mystery behind the two sisters was that they were the remaining members of a large old family that died suddenly from poisoning. Thus, the topic of family is persistent throughout the novel, especially given the consequences that led to the death of almost all Blackwoods. It is revealed that Merricat was the one to murdered her family, including parents, her aunt, and her brother, leaving only Constance and her uncle, who survived the poisoning of arsenic due to mere luck. Constance was the only family member whom Merricat truly loved, and despite her sinister actions, the author gave explanations for it by pointing out the oppressive nature of family relationships with regard to women. To get a deeper understanding of why Merricat had a chaotic and illogical attitude toward family life, the history and structure of the family as an institution should be considered. Family Theme Social rules and gender roles that exist within the family context are predominantly male-centered, which means that the power is usually patrilineal. For instance, the family name is generally passed down from fathers to sons who also have traditionally inherited the majority of the property. Daughters, however, we’re expected to follow family rules until they get married, when they had to come under their husbands’ rule. Therefore, there is a history of blatant oppression of females within the family context (Chae 262). Given the nature of family structure and power, it is not surprising that Merricat wanted to rid herself of the oppressive traditions that her family held. The most negative aspects of masculinity in the novel are illustrated through the character of Charles Blackwood. He is obsessed with getting rich and thus tricks his cousins out of money under the disguise of pretending to help them. Charles even plans to make Constance his wife, which threatens the relationship between Merricat and her sister (Begonia). The marriage between Constance and Charles can not only ruin the sisters’ relationship but also severely damage the female-oriented family that Merricat wanted to preserve. Therefore, the institution of family and marriage is depicted in the novel as something that keeps women away from helping each other and maintaining solidarity. To a large degree, Jackson intentionally portrays marriage as a treat to familial relationships rather than a vehicle for strengthening them. Famili
Introduction The brain of organism especially human beings consists of many thousands of chemicals that are constantly being secreted to regulate various body functions. The brain produces many chemicals which have different functions; among these chemicals produced by the brain is one chemical known as serotonin which is produced using amino acids known as tryptophan. Serotonin is a vital chemical used in production of “happy feeling” hormones in the body and is also necessary in promoting sleep, calmness and relieving depression (Berger, Gray and Roth). Serotonin, also known as the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a hormone which is found in the pineal gland, blood platelets, digestive tract, and in the Central Nervous System (Berger et al). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the effects that serotonin has in the brain and how it interacts with other chemicals in the body How Serotonin affects the brain and addictions Serotonin is an indoleamine chemical secreted by the brain that consists of an indole ring and a carboxyl-amide side chain. It is a chemical substance that is created in the body through a chemical process;it occurs when a protein substance trypton combines with another substance tryptophan hydroxylase to form a complex substance called 5- hydroxytryptamine which is also known as 5-HT (Berger, Gray and Roth). Tryptophan is acquired from the diet. It is a neurotransmitter, whose role is to facilitate communication between the brain and all parts of the body. It is the medium through which all communications between the brain and millions of cells take place. As such it plays a vital role in the psychological and physiological processes of the body (Berger, Gray and Roth). There is also scientific evidence that indicates serotonin is integral in influencing body desires and state of mind such as mood, sexual desire, appetite, rest, memory, learning processes, temperature regulation and social behavior (Berger, Gray and Roth). All this feelings emanates from the brain which is our first indication that tells us that serotonin does indeed affect the brain as well as addictions as we shall shortly see. In fact the impact that serotonin has in our body are not just limited to the brain region as it is also involved in the functioning of the cardio-vascular system, muscular system and some aspects of the endocrine system (Paterson,Trachtenberg, Thompson, Belliveau, Beggs and Darnall, Chadwick). Various research studies indicates that the range of functions that serotonin has on our body could be more than what is curre
Agency Intro Agency Description/Mission The agency where the volunteer work was done is the organization under the title Faith and Light, founded by Jean Vanier in France in 1971. Originated as a system of facilities in France, the agency has expanded its operations to other countries. There are several groups on the territory of the United States of America. The attended group is located in El Cajon; it seeks to support vulnerable populations with the help of Christian practice. According to the official website of the organization, the agency’s mission is to “Reveal to each person his/her unique gift and beauty” (“Our mission,” n. d., para. 1). The aim of the group is to provide social support for people with disabilities in order to take them out of isolation. Target Population The agency’s target population includes people with disabilities who suffer from social exclusion. The group incorporates individuals of all ages, excluding infants. Overall, children, adults, and older adults with diverse disabilities constitute the group (“Our mission,” n. d.). Also, the group includes not only the primary clients but also their families who provide care for the disabled. People with physical impairments, those in wheelchairs, cognitive disabilities, Down syndrome, and other issues are included in the group for social work. The volunteers initiate an array of recreational activities for the target population with an aim to facilitate their social inclusion and communication with peers. The activities include regular exercises, dancing, preparing food, eating together, praying together, drawing, coloring, crafting, and others. Self-Determination The issue of self-determination is crucial for the agency’s interventions. The people who attend the group have expressed their willingness to join either on their own or with encouragement of family members. Since the concept of self-determination embodies the ability of a client to choose and prioritize his or her activities, have and pursue their individual opinions, and behave according to them (Zastrow, 2015). Consequently, a social worker cannot force a client to join any activity against the client’s free will. In the agency of volunteer placing, the principle of self-determination is vastly preserved and respected. All clients within the target population attend the group activities voluntarily. For example, when a client was reluctant to join a dancing activity in one of the group sessions, he was allowed to watch without active participation
“The Strategist” is a book by Cynthia Montgomery, a renowned business professor. The book is based on the author’s experiences as the head of the “Owner, President, Manager Program” at Harvard business school. The author’s previous contributions to the business world include her illuminating 1995 article “Competing on Resources”. Montgomery’s 1995 article gave rise to a strategy theory that is known as “Resource-Based View”. The author of “The Strategist” was a teacher at Harvard Business School for a period of over twenty years. Some of the expertise that the author gained as a professor is manifested in “The Strategist”. The author of the book notes that “countless books have been written about strategy in the last thirty years but virtually nothing has been written about the strategist and what this vital role requires of the person who shoulders it” (Montgomery 4). Consequently, Montgomery presents the readers with the standards that apply to strategies and strategists. The author of “The Strategist” argues that the legitimacy of the roles that are played by strategists is backed up by empirical data. Nevertheless, the author of “The Strategist” quips that the role of leadership is often downplayed in the course of examining strategists. The claims that are made in the book are backed up by interviews and expert observations. Cynthia Montgomery presents a strong argument on the importance of strengthening the function of leadership and the need to elevate strategists to higher positions within their organizations. The author of “The Strategist” presents an argument that indicates that leaders must adopt strategic positions in their organizations. Changing from a leader to a strategist requires those in leadership positions to change the manner in which they view functions within their institutions. Consequently, when leaders manage to change their attitudes, they can be able to steer their organizations towards new directions. Without the fresh input of a strategist, it is almost impossible for an organization to maintain upward mobility. Montgomery reiterates that strategists have to start as leaders (Montgomery 4). Therefore, the metamorphosis of a strategist begins with effective leadership. In addition, a change in leadership attitude kick starts the process of someone changing from a leader to a strategist. The author offers a challenge t
Every company today is competing in a multi-polar world, and succeeding in this environment needs a new approach to global operations. Global operations widen into tax optimization and geopolitical threat improvement, in addition to global ability administration. This paper is a review of the global operations survey. The Lay of the Land A global survey of 300 senior company managers was conducted by Accenture in the year 2006 and 2007. It had been supported by interviews, with a number of global providing chain professionals who were to review the lay of the land in global operations, and the traits of global operations mastery. More than 85% of the business managers examined observed global operations as significant to their business plans (Deloitte Development LLC, 2011). This percentage is likely to increase in the coming few years. The pace of supply and demand globalization is swiftly rising. In the process of discovering the traits of global operations mastery during the research, some of the respondents were asked to review their potentials across the features that Accenture’s knowledge shows to have a significant contact on the effectiveness of global operations. The participants were recommended three levels to determine how flavorsome they were doing in executing and handling each of these potentials. Only six percent qualified at the right level on all capabilities. Fifteen percent of the participants compromised that they were performing under the target level of all capabilities. They are evenly distributed across industries while the first category gives attention mainly to chemicals, pharmaceuticals and retail. The leaders and laggards re spread within the profits range
