But it is far more than just a bunch of calculations, until we can identify and interpret our production of the figures, the calculations are pointless. It also measures the works of a business in financial terms and provides various financial statements and reports for various transactions the business agrees (e.g., buying and selling goods) assumed the business. In organizing financial statements, accountants use certain fundamental concepts when constructing financial accounts and statements. Traditionally there are four main concepts; 1) Going...

...Concept Comparison and Analysis Jo Ann Tyler Green NUR/513 10/15/2012 Michelle Johnson Concept Comparison and Analysis The concept, quality of life, as used in nursing theories, is presented in a historically situated context. This approach to concept analysis was selected to illuminate the subjective, contextual, and fluid nature of the concept. Based on this review, quality of life is defined as an intangible, subjective perception of one’s lived experience. From a review of Peplau’s, Rogers’, Leininger’s, King’s, and Parse’s conceptualizations of quality of life, it is concluded that it may be viable to replace health with quality of life as a meta-paradigm concept for nursing. There are numerous definitions of quality of life that exist. Described as experiences of life (Meeberg, 1993), satisfaction with life, and well-being (Ferrans, 1996; Haas, 1999; (Meeberg, 1993), the definition of quality of life lacks precision and specificity. Consistency is important because “differences in meaning can lead to profound differences in outcomes for research, clinical practice, and allocation of health care resources” (Ferrans, 1996, p. 294). Nurses have made important contributions to understanding this concept. The quality of life has been examined in groups of people experiencing a particular illness or health deficit, such as cancer or heart disease (C. R. King, 1998). Quality of life concept analyses have focused on existential aspects of the concept. However, these...

...Work Team Concepts A previous experience in my work life illustrates the concept of group communication. According to Rue and Byars (2004), keeping members of a group informed helps create the feeling that the group is needed and a part of the organization (p.138, para. 2). The company I work for recently has undergone 60 layoffs throughout the corporation. The management team did not inform us on whether or not our department would be part of these layoffs. This caused a scare to the employees and the feeling that their jobs are no longer secure. Several of the employees were working poorly with production due to added stress of the job. Our department did not lose any employees but did lose many hours because they have closed the cafeteria down on the weekends. The full-time employees that worked in the café were given hours in the kitchen, therefore reducing the per-diam worker’s hours. As a team, we developed new job descriptions for the production jobs in the kitchen. We were able to keep all our full-time and part-time workers as well as create hours for the per-diam workers. The management team allowed us to use our team concept and group communication skills to adjusting the job descriptions. We have been working with the new job functions for several weeks now and the morality of the group is back up to the group norm. A group norm according to Rue and Byars (2004) is a group that adapts to regulations and regularized group members’ behaviors (p. 140, para. 2). Reference: ...

...Concept Analysis Assignment Grand Canyon University Theoretical Foundations for Nursing Roles and Practice NUR 502 Ms. Maria Mendez June 13, 2013 Concept Analysis Assignment Today’s nursing profession encompasses a variety of specialties and disciplines that demonstrate a wide range of phenomena. According to McEwin and Willis, in clinical practice, those phenomenon that are frequently seen aid advanced practice nurses in developing interventions and clinical protocols because they are said to be stable and reliable components of the practical nursing experience (McEwin & Willis, 2011, p. 47). The observed phenomena may or may not have had research studies associated with them in the past to concretely define them, and therefore the notion of concept development and analysis arose to clarify the meanings of the phenomena encountered in one’s practical setting. McEwin and Ellis define concepts as “terms that refer to phenomena that occur in nature and thought” (McEwin & Willis, 2011, p. 47). Furthermore, concepts can be concrete, nonconcrete, variable, and non-variable in manner and described in words or phrases. Concept analysis is utilized to clarify vague concepts in nursing that may be overused and unclear and also to promote a mutual understanding amongst colleagues (Falan, 2010). For the purpose of this assignment, an article found in the Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences regarding the concept of abuse in healthcare was selected for concept analysis...

...Applying Concepts Team D MTH-220 June 30, 2014 Wayne Neidhardt Applying Concepts Solve To solve and graph the equation provided using the system of inequalities formula, one must find the x and y intercepts. Our first equation will be written as 50x+20y+230≤ 1500. First to find our x intercept, we will let y=0. Our equation will be written as 50x+200+230=1500. Next we want to solve for x, by deducting 230 from 1500 and dividing 50 from both side to get x=1270/50. Our x intercept will be 25.4. To get our y intercept, we will let x=0. Our equation will be written as 500+20y+230=1500. Now we want to solve for y by deducting 230 from 1500 and dividing 20 from both side to get y=1270/20. Our y intercept will be 63.5. Overall our intercepts for the first equation will be (25.4, 0) (0, 63.5) For our next equation, we will be using the same concept to find the x and y intercepts. Our second equation will be written as 30x + 20y ≤ 500. To solve for x, we will let y=0, to get 30x+20(0) =500. Next divide by side by 30 to get x=500/30. Our x intercept will be 16.66 rounded off to get 16.7. To get our y intercept, we will let x=0 to get 30(0) +20y=500. Divide both side by 20 to get y=500/20. Our y intercept will be 25. Overall our second equation intercepts are (16.7, 0) (0, 25). Since both of our equations contains a greater than and equal to symbol, our line will be solid. Both of our equation will be shaded to the left because x and y is less than the proceeding number...

...based off their own perception of it as well as what is socially acceptable. The construct is also measured by a person’s perception and socially accepted concepts of “well-being”. A person’s well-being is what they make of it. The ability to find happiness does not come from outside sources. However, the ability to equate one’s sense of well-being is influenced by outside sources. People have the tendency to trust what is shown to them through advertisements and shows of what is the proper amount of well-being. In truth, this is different for each person. Asking to give a moderation or value to it does have its psychological benefits, but it can also provide for a conflict in a person. We seek to be what we are supposed to be. Part of that is seeking to be happy and have that sense of “well-being”. Quantifying it, or trying to, in any sense will always be subjective because we are all different, having our own perceptions, and our own scales of positive and negative. 2. On p. 18 of your textbook, the authors present the hypothetical possibility of being hooked up to an ‘experience machine’ that would guarantee a constant state of happiness and positive emotion. Would you choose to be hooked up to such a machine? Why or why not? In your response, differentiate between hedonic and eudaimonic concepts of happiness. I had to think about this for all of about two seconds before I had my answer. I would absolutely not want to be hooked up a machined that...

...THE CONCEPT OF ADMINISTRATION AND ORGANIZATION A: WHAT IS ADMINISTRATION First definition: “Administration can be defined as the activities of groups cooperating to accomplish common goals”. There are particular key elements of administration. Cooperative: the word cooperative is the first key element in this definition. Human activity is cooperative if it has the effects that would be absent if the cooperation did not take place. * Group Activity: Administration includes activities of more than one individual. * The term ‘cooperative’ is defined in terms of the results of the human activity. When two men together roll a stone which neither of them could roll alone they are cooperating. * Thus the essence of administration is the utilization of cooperative action for the accomplishment of common goals. * Common goal: the second key element of the above definition is the goal or purpose. * It is the common goal which encourages members to come together. Cooperation among members is possible when they share a common goal. The idea of goal is central to the concept of administration in the sense that if there was not a goal, the members of the group would not come together and cooperate with each other. * Without the formulation of an objective or goal, no one within the group would know what to do and they would not get involved in any activity. * When someone determines the objective and the group is formed, than the group members...

...Writing Assignment 2: Hero Concept In literature there are many different concepts that authors use, one concept that is used is the 'hero concept,' which can capture any audience, and can be seen in many different ways, but it's pretty clear that a hero is someone with the will to stand up for what they believe in, has courage, and is strong for others. People in general, at some point, have wanted to be the hero, or have the courage to stand up for what they believe in. More often than not, people stand by and don't act in a heroic manner, so when reading a story, poem, or other piece of literature that uses the hero concept; it captures the reader and keeps the reader interested. The hero concept is clearly used in "Bodega Dreams," "Hard Rock Returns to Prison for the Criminal Insane," and "The Train from Hate." The authors of these pieces of literature keep the reader captivated by using the hero concept, and the pathos appeal, evoking a sense of emotion in the reader. "Bodega Dreams" by Ernesto Quinonez has a great example of a hero. This short story is of a class of apparent minority students, who are told by one teacher that they will never amount to anything, and would end up in jail or on the streets. Since the students are being constantly told that they will fail, they don't make an effort. This causes another teacher, the "hero," to become very angry, because he wants to see his students succeed. The narrator reveals this teachers heroic nature when the teacher...

...curriculum (Devereaux-Melillo, Dowling, Abdallah, Findeisen, & Knight, 2013). The need to examine curricular transformation is imperative in order to manage content saturation, and abate the separation of the classroom and clinical teaching. This paper will outline the following processes: (a) the development of a concept-based curricular plan for a baccalaureate program, (b) the impact of a concept-cased curriculum (CBC) on the faculty, students, finances, community of interests, accreditation, and (c) examples of the integration of competencies. Development of Concept-Based Curricular Plan Nursing faculty are challenged with curriculum, for they are presenting an astronomical amount of material to “cover the content”. According to Duncan and Schulz (2015) nurses practice conceptually on a daily basis by focusing on the patient needs, regardless of the medical diagnoses assigned. In order to practice conceptually, nurses must think conceptually by grouping important facts into concepts that can then be transferred from one clinical situation to another (Benner, Sutphen, Leonard, & Day, 2010). A CBC provides an opportunity for students to transfer the understanding of concepts across multiple areas, make connections to current, and future learning experiences, and underlying issues in complex situations. Needs assessment within the plan. Curriculum development originates at the level of the university’s...

...What is a Concept Map? Concept maps, developed by Joseph D. Novak [Novak & Gowin, 1984], are two-dimensional representations of a set of concepts and their relationships. In concept maps, concepts are depicted as labeled nodes, and relationships between concepts as labeled links. Concepts and links in sequence form simple propositions through the words in the nodes and links. Concept maps can be used to represent the knowledge of an individual. Concept maps follow the idea of assimilation theory. Assimilation theory suggests a distinction between meaningful learning and rote learning. Rote learning is often emphasized in educational settings, and consists of simple memorization of information, without concern for relationships among concepts. In contrast, meaningful learning results from linking new information to relevant, preexisting concepts or propositions in the cognitive structure of an individual. Ausubel believes that the most important factor for learning is what the learners already know. Concept maps are designed to tap into a person’s cognitive structure, and to externalize concepts and propositions. What are Concepts? We can define the concepts in concept maps to be patterns of ‘regularities’ in events or objects. Events can be ‘happenings’, while objects can be abstract or real ‘things’ in our environment. Typically, names, symbols or signs of our language denote concepts. We use these concepts when we observe or interpret events and objects....
