I have been with the company for many years, since almost the beginning. When we first started having meetings we did a lot of discussing of policies and guidelines we wanted to set for the company. We built the company at these meetings, which couldn’t have been done without a lot of collaborating and communicating.

...I was responsible for stocking shelves, handling financial transactions with customers and assisting them in finding products that they needed. As a cashier, I learned how to better communicate with difficult customers and handle complex situations. Being able to identify that customers' anger is usually situational helped me better serve my customers and direct my mental resources towards resolving problems. A. A. & A. Medical provides patients with at-home diagnostic services. Accompanying a medical technician, a technician assistant, and occasionally a physician, I visited elderly patients in their own homes, nursing homes and clinics. I helped the team with unloading equipment, administering electrocardiogram (ECG) and taking patients’ vitals. I had the opportunity to observe how diagnostic tests, such as ultrasound and electromyography, are performed. In addition, I was introduced to the many conditions diagnosed by these tests. I also learned about ECG interpretations of many cardiovascular diseases. Dr. Toma is specialized in pediatrics and internal medicine. Having the opportunity to shadow him helped me develop an appreciation for the role a physician plays in promoting the physical wellbeing of their patients. I observed him as he thoroughly and kindly informed his patients about their...

...and decision making from the unfortunate events that took place on Mount Everest several years ago. Survivors have offered many competing explanations for this tragedy. While they have focused on the tactical blunders, this research examines the underlying cognitive, interpersonal, and systemic forces that played a role in the incident. This conceptual analysis suggests that cognitive biases, team beliefs about interpersonal risk taking, and system complexity interacted to create a fatal disaster. Incredible achievement and great tragedy unfolded on the treacherous slopes of Everest on May 10, 1996. TVventy-three people reached the summit along the South Col route in Nepal on that day, including Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, two of the world's most skilled and experienced high-altitude climbers. Unfortunately, Hall, Fischer, and three members of their expeditions died as a storm enveloped the mountain during their descent. Others barely escaped with their lives after many hours wandering in the dark while braving subzero temperatures. Hall, the leader of the Adventure Consultants expedition, had established an impressive track record of Everest ascents, guiding thirty-nine climbers to the summit over the previous six years. Fischer, the leader of the Mountain Madness team, also had an impressive reputation as a high-altitude climber, though he had only reached the Everest summit once. Each expedition included the team I am grateful to David Ager, Ralph Biggadike...

...Application of Integrated Ethical Decision-Making Model into “Giles and Regas” Case 1. Identification of Ethical and Professional Issues (a) Identification of the Relevant Facts • Regas, a senior accountant in a CPA firm, was assigned to an audit engagement project working with the firm’s CPA partner Giles who has a higher rank in the same team, and had been in a dating relationship with Giles for several months, which was an uncommon story among the partners, but became clear to most of junior staff as the audit work progressed; • Both explicitly knew the policy but tried to be discreet and hide the facts; • The firm HR has the policy that two members with different ranks within the firm should not date. After feeling distracted by Giles’ personal behaviours during the work and cautioned by her friend Revilo about the severe consequences, Regas decided to put the date aside while Giles was reluctant to give it up; • The firm was facing the possibility of jeopardizing the productivity and efficiency of the audit work, and violating the compliance with the firm’s policy and norms; • The audit’s controller Sax accidentally knew this issue and reported to the managing partner Morris who decided to talk to Giles and make ethical decisions. b) Ethical and Professional Issues • Violation of CPA’s professional and moral obligations; Noncompliance with firm’s HR policy and professional code of conduct, as well as the firm’s universally respected...

...“Evaluate the extent to which Freud's theory of psychosexual development can help us to understand a client's presenting issue.” The main aim of this essay is to demonstrate an understanding of Freud’s theory of psychosexual development and how this theory may help us to explain and identify adult neurotic behaviour. I shall be evaluating the pros and cons of psychosexual theory and the extent to which it helps us to understand a client’s presenting issue. I shall also define and consider the relationship between the Id, Ego and Superego and the way in which these constructs of our psyche are in many ways representative of earlier experiences and of those early situations and conflicts we had faced. Lastly, I will examine some of the criticisms that have been leveled at Freudian theory in order to evaluate it. In Freudian psychology, psychosexual development is a central element of the psychoanalytic sexual drive theory; that human beings, from birth, possess an instinctual libido (sexual energy), that develops in five stages. Each stage – the oral, the anal, the phallic, the latent, and the genital – is characterized by the erogenous zone that is the source of the libidinal drive. Sigmund Freud proposed that if the child experienced sexual frustration in relation to any psychosexual developmental stage, s/he would experience anxiety that would persist into adulthood as a neurosis, a functional mental disorder Freud (1905) stressed that the first five years of life are...

...therapeutic technique called The Old Heart Replacement Intervention Therapy (OHRIT) to life’s issues. The goal of this document is to introduce the foundation of The Old Heart Replacement Intervention Therapy. Requires an individual to replace their old way of think and perceiving situations. One of the major emphases of the treatment plan is cognitive intervention and problem solving to get his life back on track. The focus of this document is to explain the purpose and intent of OHRIT, which is a combination of changing irrational perspective and soul care. The Biblical Word Search Condition of the Old Heart Every living human being will either be hurt or they have been hurt during the course of their life. By “hurt” I mean actions, words, tragedies, divorce, death, and attitudes that are intentional or unintentional, visible or invisible, hands-on or hands-off, other-perpetrated or self-inflicted, and barely survivable to hardly noticeable (Wilson, 2001). When a person is hurt it is difficult for that him or her to think clearly, to acknowledge the positive, or simply want to live another day. When a person encounters a crisis more than likely they are not prepared to handle the situation rationally or productively (Mabray, Bell, & Bray, 2009). Too often, the situation is suppressed or ignored. Most of these wounds are from the people we love, trust or unforeseen crises that land at one our doorsteps (p. 10). When these wounds are left unattended they...

...Ageism. In this assignment I will discuss my learning outcome from the group discussion and the collaboration of the poster and mind mapping, I will also critically analyse and discuss the public attitude, and my personal perception towards ageism. To gain knowledge of different relationships and how ageism affects society, I will also discuss key concepts in relation towards the inequality and discrimination expressed towards this group of the population. I will examine how the health service and social care professionals conduct themselves towards care of the elderly, and the actions they take to resolve discriminatory practices to reduce social inequality in respect of the elderly. Patch1 After reflecting on my own attitudes regarding my understanding of the elderly, I found that I held similar views in that once an elderly person had reached a particular age they can be easily disregarded as a useful member of society, however my views were not based on any known facts or any valid experience that I had encountered, but rather on my personal interpretation and general stereotype towards the elderly, after our group discussion and after reading relevant literature concerning ageism my opinion has changed. Ageism was introduced by Robert Butler (1969) suggesting it was a process whereby an older person was systematically stereotyped with prejudicial attitudes directed towards them. This was deemed as discrimination. According to (McGlone...

...Witchcraft can be interpreted as the belief and practice of magic, it is a concept that has existed throughout recorded history and can be found in various cultures. Traditionally, witchcraft is associated with negative actions, from famine to disease and is often conflicting to the religion in which a person practices. In this essay, I am going to discuss the different forms in which witchcraft exists in the contemporary world and using various ethnographic examples such as, Jean Fontaine, where she discusses links between sexual abuse of minors and concepts of evil and witchcraft. I will also be looking at an article by anthropologists Isak Neihaus and Gunvor Jonsson on HIV/AIDs and how this virus can be linked to witchcraft. An interesting...

...993) In this essay a consultation observed during a Primary Care placement will be described, with the aim of defining person centred care in relation to it. To protect confidentiality and in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s code of conduct (NMC, 2008), the names of persons or places are not referred to. The roles and responsibilities of the professions involved, the importance and difficulties of interprofessional collaboration and the effects of this on person centred care will also be explored. A conclusion will be drawn as to whether the event provided a person centred approach. The observed consultation (Appendix 1) took place in an elderly care clinic held in a hospital outpatient department. Outpatients Clinics are provided by the local NHS Primary Care trust on a regular basis as part of ongoing care for clients. A consultant, a nurse, the client and her carer were present. The client had an appointment to review her ongoing treatment of Parkinson’s disease. A publication to support the National Framework for older people (Department of Health, 2001) regarding the implementation of medicines endorses the monitoring of treatment to ensure the medication remains appropriate and to raise awareness of any adverse effects. The lady was in her eighties, frail and hard of hearing. A carer accompanied her from the residential home where she lived. Her mental state was assessed: she was aware of her surroundings and had some degree of understanding,...

...Hewitt-Taylor J (2001) Use of constant comparative analysis in qualitative research. Nursing Standard. 15, 42, 39-42. Date of acceptance: March 19 2001. Summary This article describes the application of constant comparative analysis, which is one method that can be used to analyse qualitative data. The need for data analysis to be congruent with the overall research design is highlighted. T HE AIM OF qualitative research is to portray the reality of the area under investigation, and to enhance understanding of the situation and the meanings and values attributed to this by individuals; it does not involve the quantification of facts (Rose 1994). Qualitative methods emphasise the value of individual experiences and views, as encountered in real-life situations. This type of investigation is often useful in nursing, as many issues concern the quality of the lived experience of individuals, which cannot be reduced to numerical values using statistical analysis. Sometimes a mixed methodology might be adopted, with elements of qualitative and quantitative enquiry being included in a study. The nature of qualitative enquiry means that volumes of ‘rich’, ‘deep’ data are produced, often from a variety of sources. While not seeking to reduce data to statistical evidence, qualitative data nevertheless requires systematic analysis. Given the volume of data produced, the practicalities of analysing, co-ordinating and ordering data into a form from which conclusions...

...of relevant software development processes, and with a common bias towards .NET and the Visio for Enterprise Architects tool. The final point is quite important, and the raison d'être for this book. In recent years the body of UML literature has focused mainly on Java development and the use of modeling tools such as Rational Rose. In this book we're applying a .NET development perspective at the same time as demonstrating the so far under-documented Visio modeling tool that comes bundled with the Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect. With all this in mind we can now press on with the introduction to – or revision of, depending on your background – the Unified Modeling Language. What is the Unified Modeling Language? When discussing UML, we need to establish one important point right up front. The Unified Modeling Language is a notation ; that is a set of diagrams and diagram elements that may be arranged to describe the design of a software system. UML is not a p rocess, nor is it a method comprising a notation and a process. Chapter 1 In theory you can apply aspects of the notation according to the steps prescribed by any process that you care to choose – traditional waterfall, extreme...

The authors focus on the research field of organizational behavior and understanding attitudes and behaviors of individuals and groups within organizations with the goal of improving them and the way the function collectively. The section on stress analyzes the negative impacts that stress can exert on organizations and methods for managing it to minimize its effect. The foundation of the section revolves around the “transactional theory of stress” which explains how stress is perceived and how individuals respond to it, taking into account the effects of both work and non-work influences on the overall organization. Due to the high cost organizations are faced with associated with employee stress, the section analyzes different practices and methods that can be utilized to manage stress and eliminate issues that cause it. Additionally, a number of different companies and their stress management practiced are discussed as well as resources that can be used to aid organizations. This book is an excellent resource and reference tool for project managers as they face a unique set of challenges based upon the nature of projects and the functionality of project organizations. The stress section was particularly beneficial...

...CHAPTER 2 WHAT IS EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING? James W. Gentry Members of ABSEL are dedicated to the proposition that students can learn from experience. Most people adhere to the notion of “trial and error” learning. Various ABSEL participants have used the following quote, attributed to Confucius, to express their conviction that experiential learning is effective: I HEAR AND I FORGET I SEE AND I REMEMBER I DO AND I UNDERSTAND.1 Others have cited Sophocles’ quote from 400 B.C., “One must learn by doing the thing, for though you think you know it-you have no certainty, until you try.” Or, one could quote George Santayana, “The great difficulty of education is to get experience out of ideas.” It is hard to argue that experience will not lead to learning under the right conditions. However, it will be argued that the resultant learning can be in error unless care is taken to assure that those conditions occur. The purpose of this chapter is to delineate the components of “experiential learning” so that the necessary conditions for “proper” learning can be specified. While most pedagogies allow students to learn experientially to some extent, an attempt will be made to distinguish those approaches which would be more likely to facilitate experiential learning. While the title of the chapter implies a focus on learning (the student perspective), to a large extent the chapter actually focuses on the structuring of the experience (the teacher perspective). What the student takes away...

...PART TWO: ANALYSIS REPORT Education becomes more effective when there is a combination of theory and practical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge achieved perfection with the implication of practical knowledge. The internship program can combine theoretical knowledge with practical situation. A practical orientation program is really essential for a student as our educational system is mostly text based. Professional experience is very important to be established. In this situation I got a bit practical experience by analyzing financial performance of Medez – Galanto & Associates. A. SECTIONS IN THE MEDEZ- GALANTO & ASSOCIATES 1. Accounts Payable and Receivable The accounts payable section of an accounting department records goods and services that it receives and the payments it owes, such as inventory from a supplier or other expenses. The department records each accounts payable as a liability and accounts receivable as assets. Assets such as revenue and customers’ obligations pay for goods and services. 2. Payroll The payroll function of an accounting department ensures that the organization pays its employees accurately, including bonuses, commissions and benefits. The department monitors employees' time off, vacation and sick days. It pays the government taxes as well as union dues and other withholding from an employee's paycheck.
