...//A Company can attain its goals with the help of a systematic approach. A system design is very important from the company's point of view. Under this section, we will discuss about system design and parameters of evaluating an effective system designing.// System Design A systematic approach is very necessary in every organization to deal with business functions, whether the organization is a manufacturing or a service unit. The proper system design of an organization gives many advantages to an organization. The input, process and outputs are the parts of the system design. An evaluation of system design is very important to gain an advantage over the competitors. The system design of an organization can be evaluated by a series of check points. An effective system design supports management decisions. The affordability of the system should be aligned with the company's budget. The system cost should not be high. The time factor is used as a parameter to evaluate the performance of the system design. The system should be designed in such a way that it can reduce the operation time. The employees have to follow the operating system of the company, so the system should be easily understandable by the employees, otherwise it will not get support of the employees. A system design of the company supports the organization to face the contingency situations; it is called an effective system design. The inputs should be included after deep analysis (Wasson, 2005). //The role of...

...Systematic Approach to Care through Effective Person-Centred Care Planning. The NHS places a strong emphasis on delivering person-centred care to patients. Patient-centred planning was adopted as national government policy in 2001 via the “Valuing People” paper and more recently as part of the “Valuing People Now” document (DOH,2009). Person-centred planning is now promoted as a key method in delivering the personalisation objectives of the Governments “Putting People First” programme for social care (DOH, 2007). The Coalition continues this commitment towards personalisation of care with its “Capable Communities and Active Citizens” document (DOH, 2010). One key area to ensure that care is delivered in a systematic person-centred way is through effective care planning that involves the patient in the process as a key stake holder. Several systematic models to nursing care are available that will facilitate practitioners in ensuring that all needs of the individual are identified and met. This essay will define what is meant by the term “person centred care”, will explore the systematic nursing models of care delivery and will highlight good practice in constructing person-centred care plans. This will be done using examples of an original care plan (constructed by the author for a real patient whose name has been changed) - and will draw upon information and evidence from a range of contemporary sources. It is appropriate in the context of this essay to firstly define...

...Exam Essentials The Behaviourist Approach. Q1 a) State two assumptions of the behaviourist approach The behaviourists believe that all behaviour comes from learning as a result of interactions in the environment. One assumption of the behaviourist approach is that behaviour is affected by operant conditioning or learning by consequence. This means that if a person engages in a particular behaviour and is then rewarded (positively reinforced) in some way (the consequence is a good one or a pleasant one) then it is likely it will be repeated. Continuing to positively reinforce it will make it more permanent and it becomes learned. Punishment or negative reinforcement is likely to make behaviour less likely to be repeated and so it will not be continued. There are many examples of this in real life. For example giving house points or stars or sweets to a pupil who completes their m homework means they will be more likely to complete their homework because they are being rewarded for doing it. Another assumption of the behaviourist approach is that behaviour is learned through social modelling or imitation. This means that people learn how to behave in particular ways by observing and copying the behaviour of others. They particularly copy the behaviour of people who they admire (eg pop stars or footballers) or people who are close to them (brothers, sisters and parents). An example of this is small children copying their parents when learning to use a knife and fork...

...agoraphobia after she was mugged whilst on her way to town. She has been referred to the community mental health team and following an assessment has been referred to the behavioural therapist within the team. She is undergoing systematic desensitisation as a form of treatment for her phobia. The behaviourism approach is applied to this case study. According to the behaviourism approach, Jane would receive systematic desensitization by using a hierarchy of fear that is created according to her phobia. This is a method that is used to help reduce an individual’s phobia, making them feel relieved and calm. It involves ranking their fear in the hierarchy from least fearful to most fearful. According to Jane’s phobia, her least fearful behaviour would be thinking about a dark room and her most fearful behaviour would be walking inside a dark room. Throughout this hierarchy, it may take Jane a long time for her fear to go away, depending on how strong her phobia is. It would also take...

...systematic risk and unsystematic risk In finance, systematic risk, sometimes called market risk, aggregate risk, or undiversifiable risk, is the risk associated with aggregate market returns. By contrast, unsystematic risk, sometimes called specific risk, idiosyncratic risk, residual risk, or diversifiable risk, is the company-specific or industry-specific risk in a portfolio, which is uncorrelated with aggregate market returns. Unsystematic risk can be mitigated through diversification, and systematic risk can not be.[1] Systematic risk should not be confused with systemic risk, the risk of loss from some catastrophic event that collapses the entire financial system. Contents [hide] * 1 Example * 2 Systematic risk and portfolio agement * 3 References * 4 See also | ------------------------------------------------- [edit]Example For example, consider an individual investor who purchases $10,000 of stock in 10 biotechnology companies. If unforeseen events cause a catastrophic setback and one or two companies' stock prices drop, the investor incurs a loss. On the other hand, an investor who purchases $100,000 in a single biotechnology company would incur ten times the loss from such an event. The second investor's portfolio has more unsystematic risk than the diversified portfolio. Finally, if the setback were to affect the entire industry instead, the investors would incur similar losses, due to systematic risk. Systematic Risk: It is the risk which is due to...

...State: Date: Teacher’s career Systematic synthetic phonics has been the only effective way to teach early reading for many years. However, other methods those are even more efficient than the systematic synthetic phonics have been in use in various English speaking countries. Many reports before the Rose Review done in the year 2006 provide evidence of other methods used in teaching early reading. (Sheerman, 2009, p.36) Compares non-phonics and accurate systematic phonics programs and notes a slight difference in their effectiveness with non-phonics being on the lower margin. Other reports have proved beyond any reasonable doubt the existence of other strategies for teaching early reading. The studies reported some of the strategies as being more efficient than others. However, according to Annette Karmiloff-Smith (2009, p. 300), reading is a various area of knowledge with diverse needs that cannot be addressed by a single approach. Therefore, the teachers taking pupils through early reading must be familiar with various teaching strategies and understand when to apply the different methods. These teachers must also understand the reasons that contribute to the usage of particular teaching strategies (Adamuti-Trache & Robert, 2013). The above reports support the use of different approaches in contrary to systematic synthetic phonics. They both realize the diversity nature of children mind hence the difficulty of applying one approach in teaching the pupils how to read...

...management prevention instead of just crisis response necessitates moving responsibility from operational to the executive level. Methodology: Observation to other cases and study on Crisis Management model. Results or Findings:The evolution of crisis management that focuses on prevention rather than action after incidents happen. Body of Knowledge: The whole idea of the paper has been divided into sub-topic below: 1. The event approach. This event approach led to a very logical concept of traditional crisis management focus on incident response like what to do when a crisis happen and what to prepare. Such functional activities are critically important for successful organizational crisis response and recovery from unexpected event that threaten to disrupt an organization. This traditional event approach typically positions crisis management structurally alongside operational or technical level such as security or emergency response, often with public affairs tactically in support for media or community relations. 2. The process approach. After this years, trend for crisis management to evolve beyond this operational response and this reshaping crisis management which has led to the need of organizational design. This awareness that proactive managers can and should take steps to avoid a crisis happening in the first place. This has led to accept crisis management as a part of a process range which build on recognition like most crises are not sudden events but follow...
