Adequate and timely nursing interventions are essential for the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of patients. Most often, the role of a nurse involves the daily implementation of family, behavioral, physiological basic and complex, community, safety, and health system nursing interventions (“Nursing interventions,” 2021). These interventions usually consist of the treatment plan and may include practices like bedside care and assistance, administration of medication, postpartum support, feeding assistance, and monitoring of vitals and recovery progress. During this week, I encountered some challenges with performing the nursing interventions in the adult daycare center where I work. I have a patient trying to give up smoking, and I have to persuade him to be persistent continuously. However, when he feels tired or emotionally distressed, he opts for cigarettes, which is not very good for his health. Therefore, I encounter some difficulties with implementing this behavioral nursing intervention. Luckily, the patient is a reasonable person and does not like to argue much, so he makes constant progress, which, in complex with the proper diet, improves his health outcomes. I also encountered some difficulties associated with introducing a dropper to a patient after surgery. It took me a while to focus and accurately insert the needle without hurting the patient. Since childhood, I have been afraid of injections, so working with needles is an emotional challenge for me, although I do not show my feelings. After studying the instructions several times and receiving practical advice from other nurses, I dealt with this obstacle. The patient did not notice any painful sensations and said that everything went well. I also had to train a patient recovering from surgery to walk properly to avoid the risk of falls. After a little briefing, he began to avoid potentially dangerous situations for him and memorized all the rules, so I am calm for his safety.

Individual health and aggregate populations within various communities are often dependent on the ability of that community to identify the health problems they face (Becker, 1974). Additionally, the willingness of the individuals/groups to adhere to the proposed lifestyles aimed at maintaining health and well-being. Nurses and other medical practitioners have a role to assess the milestones achieved by the measures put in place to minimize the effect of specific risks. This role may be best summed by an acknowledgment that nurses need independence to initiate interventions that help patients and respective families to assume more responsibility in practicing bets health practices (Becker, 1974). Noting that the proposed plan to support breastfeeding is based on the health belief model and hence focused on the influence of the environment and the subject’s belief, the program’s evaluation focuses on the factors perceived to negatively affect breastfeeding (Green, 1999). These include embarrassment, competing time demands on the mother, mothers’ confidence about nursing and nourishment of the baby, and need for social support (Green, 1999). It is vital to note that social support affects all the other factors either directly or directly and hence evaluation must take a broader perspective rather than simply focus on lactating mothers. However, evaluation goes beyond the subjects. Those implementing the changes are also subject to evaluation if the success of the program is to be fully def
Religion is very important in the cultural system of every society. It is said to be a well built faith in a mystical power occurring in the supernatural state. Every person is supposed to adhere with the beliefs and the customs involved in his or her faith on the spiritual base. There are different types of religions but this discussion focuses on just two: Buddhism and Hinduism. These two religions happened to originate in one region in that they share some terminologies which are alike. Their goals are however different on their practices even though they share a lot on the faith (Eliot 15). The following discussion therefore, is inclusive of the comparisons and contractions between these two religions with their differences during their childhoods and the way they were raised. To start with the two religions share many things in their beliefs in that they both believe in rebirth which is determined by the actions one does in the daily life. This is where there is rebirth of the individual’s soul into any life form. They both believe that it is individual’s responsibility to work out on his salvation which is dependent on his good actions (Eliot 9). Basing on enlightenment they both believe that it is possible to attain it through rising above individual’s way of thinking and the desires as well as controlling individual’s six senses. It is a common belief on the pain one achieves through too much attachment to people and the worldly things, both therefore advocate in freeing oneself out of the fantasies of the worldly desires. Meditation is a common emphasis to both faiths which liberates an individual; enhance concentration in life and enlightenment .They also practices the tantric practices (Georg and Peter 731). There are contradictions on their beliefs such that in Buddhism godly figures are not involved in their belief basing on the original doctrinal principles even though there is some introduction of Godly figures by the later believers. On the other hand in Hinduism there are 300,000 Gods which are believed in. These two religions are also different on their foundations which are referred as their childhood state. On Hinduism there is no complete certainty of on who started it and where. It is also believed that this religion originated from the Vedas which were written at about 1000 years Before Christ even though they were still on existence for a long period but in oral form. In Buddhism there is complete certainty of who founded it- the Siddartha Gautama who is known as Buddha. At first he did not intend to create any new religion as he had left for the meditation to modify Hinduism where he became Buddha as his answer thus the foundation of Buddhism (Bhaskar 5). There are complex rituals performed in Hinduism from the day one is born till death where priests play a very significant role when carrying these roles. On t
Introduction Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father is a bibliographical book where the author represents the sequence of his reasoning about life prospects and details of it which, in fact, were concerned at some extent with the father whom the author hardly knew. The author’s deepest intentions to find out the relation between personal remembrance of life details and his genealogical identity are displayed with points on different stages of the author’s life. In this respect it is vital to mention that as the Japanese people say: a man without a hope has no future. Thereupon, the book by Barack Obama discloses the realities of the author’s life while growing up and while thinking about his use for the society. The paper comprises the advantages and limitations of the author’s flow of thought, his manner of own life details description, and the effects which are seen nowadays in the political career of the author. The story of Barack Obama is a result of his mature evaluation of the American society throughout the outlook of personal participation in it. Discussion The book itself is a great narration of how the American realities were reflected in the consciousness of Barack Obama since the early childhood up to the times of his living in Chicago. The title of the book describes a great concern about his father and his genealogical roots, in particular. In this respect the author promotes a discussion about personal reflections of what happened on each stage of his life including the news brought to him in the age of 21. The uniqueness of Obama’s story is depicted in the fact that he was born when racial segregation was highly represented in the American society. Living with mother and grandparents from the age of two, particularly, the author pretends to show his own view on the problem of racism and his inheritance of two different racial unities. It is so due to the fact that his father was a pure African representative and his mother was a white woman having long history grounded in the United States and in Kansas, particularly. The need for writing this kind of book is not logical, from the first sight, because when providing political campaigns probable candidates are trying to write about the successful destiny of the country with them being in office. An impetus for Obama in writing this book is concerned with the news about the death of his father in order to underline soulful feelings of the author while confronting with such spontaneous information: At the time of his death, my father remained a myth to me, both more and less than a man. He had left Hawaii back in 1963, when I was only two years old, so that as a child I knew him only through the stories that my mother and grand
Regarding the genre of comics, there is no single object or particular detail carrying no meaning for the reader. Such an irrelevant, at the first glance, part as a gutter (space between panels) turns out to be an important mean of information delivery. Normally, gutters differ in shape, length and width, either coming in the form of a crack, bow or a straight line. In the case of the work of Moore and Campbell, these elements represent a combination of parallel and perpendicular lines helping to reflect the main principles of panel-to-panel transition more precisely. Thus, McCloud’s concepts of events’ depiction find their reflection in the usage of such methods as movement-to-movement, scene-to-scene, and action-to-action interpretation. One can track a movement-to-movement transition at the very beginning of chapter five. A scene where a couple makes love to each other is pictured using three sequential panels that contain the same scene, only illustrated in a manner to represent what was happening a few moments later. Straight vertical gutters help to receive information in a set order, without any confusion as to whether one should look up or down to find a logic continuation of the act. A scene-to-scene method is used to contrast the two figures, representing the two different society levels through the characters of Mary Nicholls and Sir William. Pages 11 to 13 brightly demonstrate how the characters, illustrated on two different panels, accompany each other, though, involved in the events that are totally unrelated. This jumping across space helps the reader to get a full comprehension of the social disparity emphasized by the authors in their work. Finally, an action-to-action technique is referred to when the authors depict the act of murder. One can clearly track the development of horrifying events through the artists’ manner to illustrate every next step a murderer takes. Again, gutters are added to help the reader to get a full picture of what was happening in between the depicted acts. One cannot see how Netley was passing the knife to Dr. William so that the latter could do what he intended to. Nevertheless, the reader knows that this fact took place and, thus, follows the events as if he/she were watching a movie.
In the United States of America, 13,000 people die each year. Bacteria or viruses did not cause these deaths. Firearms did not cause these deaths. But drunk drivers are responsible for this gruesome statistic. In addition, binge drinkers are responsible for many of the fatalities caused by drunk driving. It is important to ratify laws that will punish those who operate a vehicle even if the BAC is 0.05. In the present time drunk drivers are repeat offenders and they are responsible for thousands of deaths each year because of two major reasons. First, they believe that they can get away with it. Second, existing laws are apparently ineffective deterrents for drunk driving. Policymakers must realize that a BAC of 0.05 makes a driver unfit to operate a motor vehicle because the driver’s psychomotor performance is significantly impaired (National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, 2014). But all states in the U.S. will only prosecute drivers with a BAC that is higher than 0.08. It encourages people to drink and drive. Tougher laws are needed to lower the BAC limit from 0.08 to 0.05. Divers with a BAC of 0.05 must not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle. In addition, first time offenders must be jailed for at least three days. Repeat offenders must be jailed longer than one year. Conclusion Policymakers must create tougher laws to penalize drunk drivers. It must begin with laws that lower the limit so that drivers with a BAC of 0.05 must not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle. Tougher laws will send first time offenders to jail. Moreover, there must be stiffer fines and longer jail time for repeat offenders. This new policy will become an effective deterrent for future violators and repeat offenders.
Introduction The expansion of poly-glutamines present in the Huntingtin proteins is solely responsible for the Huntington disease. The Huntington disease refers to a dominant autosomal neurodegenerative aberration. To understand the development of the Huntington disease, the function of normal Huntingtin proteins has to be elucidated. This is accomplished by purifying the Huntingtin proteins and Argonaute as associated proteins. Studies have shown that Huntingtin proteins and Argo2 exist in P bodies and that a decline in Huntingtin led to a compromised RNA-mediated gene silencing. RNA-mediated gene silencing refers to the related processes that involve 21 to 25 nucleotide RNAs to repress the expression of specific target genes. A change in the Huntingtin protein leads to a distinct neurodegeneration pattern. This paper, therefore, seeks to establish whether the Huntington disease protein is a contributory factor in RNA- mediated gene silencing. The paper is based on a research study titled Huntington’s disease protein contributes to RNA-mediated gene silencing through association with Argonaute and P bodies by Savas et al. (2008). With regard to this, the paper seeks to test the hypothesis that Huntingtin protein causes a characteristic neurodegeneration pattern. This hypothesis is informed by a study on mouse striatal cells with mutant Htt that reveals the presence of fewer P bodies and a decreased gene silencing activity. This may suggest that transcriptional deregulation in Huntington disease is an outcome of the mutant Htt’s role post-transcriptional processes. In order to test the hypothesis, Savas et al used a biochemical approach to purify proteins related to WT and mutant Htt and identified Ago2 as a co-purifying protein (Savas et al., p. 10820). Further co-localization tests showed the presence of Htt and Ago2 in processing P bodies, cytoplasmic foci that contain translationally repressed mRNAs with bound proteins (Savas et al., p. 10820). The data suggested that normal Htt is a component of the P body and functions in the ost-transcriptional pathways (Savas et al., p. 10820). The results of the test indicate that Ago2 indeed co-purifies with Huntingtin. Specifically, Ago2 co-purifies with Htt 480 protein when over-expressed in cells. The test further proved that Huntingtin is present in P bodies (Savas et al., p. 10822). It was also established that Huntingtin plays a role in small RNA- mediated processes (Savas et al., p. 10823). Finally, a comparison was made between normal Huntingtin and polyQ-expanded Huntingtin (Savas et al., p. 10824). The findings of this research may help in control and management of Huntington disease. Background The background of this research is based on RNA silencing, which refers to the process of sequence-specific regulation of gene expressions caused by double-stranded RNA (Fire et al, p. 806). It takes place in almost all eukaryotes. Some of the functions of the RNA silencing remain largely controversial while a few are well documented. RNA sil
Executive Summary The process of acquisition is associated with a plethora of changes that cover organizational structure, financial performance, and the importance of different departments. With the help of Agthia’s example, it was revealed that the acquisition of Al Bayan not only contributed to the growth in revenues but also increased the need to underline the significance and include different entities such as shareholders, VP Strategy, and external audit in the process. Apart from the need to include executives of different departments, a pivotal role of CEO could not be underestimated since he/she can be discovered as an intermediary, who ensured a connection between shareholders, managers, and Board of Directors, integrity, and transparency of the processes in the company. It could be said that the decision-making mechanism related to the acquisition of Al Bayan supported the company’s philosophy and complied with its organizational structure. Introduction Agthia specializes in producing beverages and food with its headquarters in Abu Dhabi (Agthia, 2017). Apart from being one of the leaders in the market and having offices in different countries in the Middle East, the enterprise prioritizes a continuous expansion of its locations and takes advantage of vertical and horizontal acquisitions to strengthen its position in the market. To support its growth, Agthia acquired Al Bayan in the recent past (“Agthia signs agreement”, 2015). Thus, this merger was reflected by changes in the corporate culture of the company and caused the development of a specific managerial structure. Consequently, the primary goal of the paper is to conduct the analysis of modifications in the organizational chart before and after the acquisition, describe the departments in charge of the takeover, and introduce the reporting mechanism of the developed entity and its compliance with the existent structure. Current Organizational Structure of Agthia To understand the working mechanism of the company and modifications that took place after the acquisition, it was essential to describe the current organizational structure. In this case, Figure 1 clearly portrayed the general principles of corporate governance that were present in the company in 2015. Thus, a similar structure continues to exist today, as Al Bayan becomes an essential definer of organizational performance. The company’s focus on the value of transparency and integrity allows reviewing organizational structure in details while applying the principles of its key philosophies and concepts (Agthia, 2015). At the same time, one of the critical policies of Agthia is to ensure that all components portrayed in Figure 1 respect corporate values and act in compliance with their duties, responsibilities, and ethics of the enterprise (Agthia, 2015). The aspects of the decision-making process that exists within the organization help the departments work as interdependent components towards the common goals. Figure 1. The general organizational structure of the company (Agthia, 2015). Nonetheless, it is crucial to review this structure in detail and discover different professionals respo
Issue The Safe Streets and Communities Act was adopted in 2012; this legislative act includes several important elements such as the adoption of minimum sentences for drug and sexual offences, the abolition of house arrests for a wide range of crimes, and stricter immigration laws [1] . This bill is supposed to make the Canadian society more secure, but at the same time it will result in the increased expenses for the government and excessive criminalization of many individuals. This paper is aimed at discussing various aspects of this law and its long-term implications for various stakeholders. Background This legislative act was promoted by the Justice Minister Rob Nicholson [2] . One cannot say that this event was prompted by a particular event that could prompt the government to adopt more different laws regarding various crimes. When explaining the rationale for this bill, the government focused mostly on the need to “improve the safety and security of all Canadians” [3] . Nevertheless, very little attention was paid to the causes that could have stimulated the state to adopt this legislative act. So, it is possible to argue that this policy lacked appropriate justification which should be provided by the state when it introduces a new law. Impact The adoption of this legal act can have profound implication for the Canadian society. First it, one should speak about taxpayers whose money will be spent by the government in order to implement every provision of the Safe Streets and Communities Act. First, it should be noted that this law can result in the increase of the prison population in Canada. Therefore, the state will have to spend more costs on the maintenance of these people. For instance, according to the estimations of researchers, this policy will require additional $ 1 billion to taxpayers in Ontario [4] . This is one of the drawbacks that should not be disregarded. One should take into consideration this money can be used for other purposes such as healthcare or education. So, the signing of this legal act will deprive many people of their opportunities. This is the main impacts that can be identified. Apart from that, this policy can result in significant in the significant criminalization of many individuals. In particular, one should focus on the drug offences. According the Safe Streets and Communities Act, the serious drug offences include “possession for purpose of trafficking” [5] . The main problem is that this rule can lead to the situation when many drug-addicted people will be sent to prisons, instead of being treated [6] . This risk is also important when one speaks about young offenders. By incarcerating these individuals, t
