...Business performance management is a set of management and analytic processes that enables the management of an organization's performance to achieve one or more pre-selected goals. Synonyms for "business performance management" include "corporate performance management (CPM)"[1] and "enterprise performance management".[2][3] Business performance management is contained within approaches to business process management.[4] Business performance management has three main activities: selection of goals, consolidation of measurement information relevant to an organization’s progress against these goals, and interventions made by managers in light of this information with a view to improving future performance against these goals. Although presented here sequentially, typically all three activities will run concurrently, with interventions by managers affecting the choice of goals, the measurement information monitored, and the activities being undertaken by the organization. Because business performance management activities in large organizations often involve the collation and reporting of large volumes of data, many software vendors, particularly those offering business intelligence tools, market products intended to assist in this process. As a result of this marketing effort, business performance management is often incorrectly understood as an activity that necessarily relies on software systems to work, and many definitions of business performance management explicitly...

...The human brain is the most complex, most sophisticated body organ which makes us superior among other living creatures. It is the vessel of the greatest power ever invented. Since it is a treasure not any pleasure could ever equal it is encapsulated on a hard mass of bone to keep its treasure. The human brain can be divided into four major divisions: The cerebrum, the diencephalon, the cerebellum and the midbrain. The first division is further subdivided into four parts. The frontal lobe, the parietal lobe and the occipital lobe. In the frontal lobe, the precentral gyrus (motor cortex) controls voluntary motor activity. The Broca’s area coordinates the complex muscular activity of the mouth, tongue, and larynx and makes expressive motor speech possible. The frontal area also controls attention and concentration, motivation, ability to formulate goals, the ability to plan, the ability to initiate and maintain action, ability to self monitor and the ability to use feedback (executive functions). These areas contribute to reasoning, problem solving and emotional stability. The parietal lobes interpret temperature, touch and pleasure. Concept formation and abstraction happens and are formulated in this area. The parietal lobes form two sides; the left parietal lobe and the right parietal lobe. The left parietal lobe assists with right and left orientation and mathematics, while the right parietal lobe is used for awareness, as to shape (steriognosis) and size...

Depth – person’s respirations can be established by watching the movement of the chest. Normal adult: 500 mL (tidal volume) * Deep respirations – large volume of air is inhaled/exhaled, inflating most of the lungs * Shallow respirations – exchange of a small volume of air and often the minimal use of lung tissue * Hyperventilation – overexpansion of the lungs characterized by rapid and deep breaths * Hypoventilation – underexpansio of the lungs,...

...I. INTRODUCTION POST – PARTUM COMPLICATIONS The postpartum period is the time immediately after a woman delivers her baby. It is the time when the mother's body is changing back to the non-pregnant state. It lasts approximately 6 weeks or until the reproductive organs return to normal size. During the postpartum period, a woman can expect a variety of symptoms ranging from physical discomfort to emotional upsets. Feeling overwhelmed with the responsibility of caring for an infant is a normal postpartum symptom. Other emotions may include sadness, feeling helpless, and a "let down" feeling. Discomfort in the perineum (area between the rectum and vagina) is expected and may cause difficulty with sitting or walking. It is common for the breasts to be swollen and painful. The new mother may feel tired, experience hot flashes and sweating, and may be constipated. A woman may also have a reduced interest in sex for up to 6 months after childbirth. All these symptoms are normal, a temporary reaction to childbirth. II.

...INTRODUCTION Review of Related Literature Pneumonitis Pneumonitis is a general term that refers to inflammation of lung tissue. It occurs when some irritating substance – solid particles, liquids, gases, radiation or bacteria – cause the tiny air sacs to become inflamed. This can hamper the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air sacs. Pneumonia is one type of pneumonitis caused by an infection. There are several types of pneumonitis. They include: • Aspiration pneumonitis- occurs when you inhale (aspirate) foreign matter into your lungs. Stomach contents, such as ingested food or liquid, are a frequent cause of aspiration pneuomonitis. Accidental inhalation of small particles, such as tiny pieces of peanuts or vegetables, while swallowing is common in young children. • Chemical pneumonitis- is a type of aspiration pneumonitis that develops when you inhale chemicals that are toxic to your lungs. Industrial and household chemicals, such as chlorine gas, ammonia, solvents and pesticides can all cause chemical pneumonitis. • Hypersensitivity pneumonitis- is nicknamed “farmer’s lung,” “mushroom picker’s disease” and other colorful names with good reason. Dust from animal dander, molds and plants, all potential allergens, can provoke an inflammatory reaction in your lungs. Symptoms usually develop within six hours of exposure to the allergen. Some people are more susceptible to developing hypersensitivity pneumonitis than are others, although it’s...

...INTRODUCTION Pregnancy, the state of carrying a developing embryo or fetuswithin the female body. This condition can be indicated by positive resultson an over-the-counter urine test, and confirmed through a blood test,ultrasound, detection of fetal heartbeat, or an X-ray. Pregnancy lasts forabout nine months, measured from the date of the woman's lastmenstrual period (LMP). It is conventionally divided into three trimesters,each roughly three months long.When gestation has completed, it goes through a processcalled delivery, where the developed fetus is expelled from the mother’swomb. There are two options of delivery: Cesarean section and NSVD ornormal spontaneous vaginal delivery. A cesarean section is a surgicalincision through the mother’s abdomen and uterus to deliver one or morefetuses. NSVD or normal spontaneous vaginal delivery is the delivery of the baby through vaginal route. It can also be called NSD or normalspontaneous delivery, or SVD or spontaneous vaginal delivery, where themother delivers the baby with effort and force exertion.Normal labor is defined as the gradual subjugation anddilatation of the uterine cervix as a result of rhythmic uterine contractionsleading to the expulsion of the products of conception: the delivery of thefetus, membranes, umbilical cord, and placenta. Laboring cannot that beeasy; thereby implicating that there are processes and stages to beundertaken to achieve spontaneous delivery. Through which, Obstetricshave divided labor into four...
