...ERM Paper LAW/531 ERM Paper The business regulation simulation presented involves Alumina Inc., a United States based aluminum manufacturing corporation located on the fringes of Lake Dira. Alumina was discovered to be in violation of environmental discharge norms following a routine EPA compliance evaluation inspection five years ago. The company subsequently corrected this violation and has since enjoyed a good overall environmental compliance record. This paper will identify potential tort risks resulting from this violation and utilize the seven-step Harb process to mitigate associated business risks. Torts Alumina Inc. is considered one of the largest aluminum makers in the world. The company operates in Erehwon and is under the EPS’s jurisdiction in region 6. The first tort against Alumina was found to be negligence. Five years ago, Alumina failed to follow the environmental discharge norms set by the EPA that resulted in high levels of PAH in the samples. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are a family of chemicals primarily derived from oil and coal but also produced as byproducts from burning of a variety of materials (Nevison, 2008). The EPA demanded a clean-up in which Alumina quickly complied and rectified the negligence allegation. Alumina was allowed to continue business without prosecution and complied with all regulation following the incident. However, Kelly Bates, a resident of the community where Alumina operates, is claiming that her 10-year-old...

Send me an email with 2-3 times you are available. Course Overview HDFS 865 Family Theories is a survey course that examines the interdisciplinary study of families. The course content is organized into two sections: a) theories, ideologies and definitions of families and b) applications of family theories in practice, family programs, and policies. This course will examine “what is theorizing in family studies?” Family theories are explanatory frameworks for different ways of understanding families. Theorizing about families involves conceptualizing the lived experiences of people in relation to their own families as well as developing explanations of the social role of families in society, tracking demographic changes over time, and identifying ideologies and social forces that influence and are influenced by family life. Some theories look at how individuals develop over the life span in the context of families; others define the forms and functions of families as a social unit in society. Some look at “the family” as a unit and focus in on the internal dynamics of relationships between family members, while others look at “the family” as a subsystem or institution in the larger scope of...

...the better. The purpose of this paper is to inform, applying critical thinking, and communicate professional judgment about youths in a rural setting. The youths of YouthBuild Mississippi Delta face many obstacles in everyday life and strive to become better citizens. Client System Andra Smith is a 23 years old, African American. He is the youngest of 5 children raised in a single parent home in rural Mississippi. His father was never around to guide him into becoming a man and his other siblings did not complete high school either. The value system is living and surviving from day to day. The mother is a cook at the local restaurant and makes just a little more than minimum wage. She is a functioning alcoholic and I believe that this disease runs in the family. The Smith family never really attended church services other than funerals or weddings. They reside in the white project and this is low income housing. The overall physical health of the family is pretty good, no high blood pressure or diabetes. They do not have a regular physician but, no complaints of health problems. The family members have no diagnosis of any mental problems at this time. The first human behavior theory I chose was family systems theory because this family is dysfunctional in their relationships with each other. It examines the constructs of individuation, differentiation, and identity formation from the individual development and family system theory perspectives, focusing on...

...Turun yliopisto, Finland, sylvia.karlsson-vinkhuyzen@wur.nl, +31858770774 Abstract: In this paper we argue that an adequate understanding of sustainable consumption and production (SCP) involves a mature consciousness of the interdependence between ourselves and the rest of our human family and its habitat. The principles, the actions and the vision that form the basis for SCP are not unknown, but there is a considerable gap between knowledge and action and behavioural incentives are not sufficient for system change. In the conversations between the authors of this paper, a practitioner and an academic, on the reasons for this knowledge-action gap there emerged a common recognition of the potentially significant role of values and particularly values-based leadership in the processes and partnerships that work for sustainability transitions in SCP. Our starting point is that values, what we humans consider to be good, are formed by a range of factors (cultural, political, social, religious) and are thus subject to change. Individuals who internalize values that are supportive of SCP manifest values-based leadership and if these are accompanied by specific capabilities, such leaders will exemplify the necessary paradigm shift towards sustainable consumption and production and lead the wider society towards it. The paper outlines how one model of values based leadership — the framework of...

...1. Theoretical Framework of Dorothea Orem’s Nursing Theory, BSN 2. ……….BSN NUR/513 Theoretical Framework of Dorothea Orem’s Nursing Theory The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of Orem’s theoretical framework and analyze the critical components of the conceptual nursing model. Orem’s Self Care Deficit Theory is widely used in models of nursing. Orem chaired the Nursing Development Conference Group which examined nursing problems and research. Orem’s interest in curriculum development arise ++her interest in formulating a conceptualization of nursing. Theoretical Framework Orem presented her conceptual framework consisting of four concepts about persons and two about nursing and theories derived from this model – the self care deficit theory. The theory of self care, and the theory of nursing system. Concepts in the model are self care, self care agency, self care demand, self care deficit nursing agency, and nursing system (Fitzpatrick & Hall, 2005). Orem sees nursing as a science, technology, art, and a helping service given to a person with a legitimate need for it by nurses who have specialized knowledge and skills. Nurses help clients meet existing or anticipated demands for self care in order to sustain life and health, recover from disease or injury and cope with their effects (Fawcett, 2005). When speaking of nursing, Orem uses the terms nursing and nursing agency. Orem described the human being as an integrated whole composed of an internal physical...

...remains low despite overwhelming evidence that the use of electronic medical records (EMR) has improved staff efficiency, increased preventative care measures, and decreased medical errors thus lowering healthcare cost (Childs, 2009). Even in an environment that is rich with evidence-based innovations, diffusion of successful electronic medical records remains a problem in the healthcare industry. This paper will explore the implementation of transitioning to an EMR in a specific facility. Implementation of an Electronic Medical Record The change initiative in this scenario is implementation of an EMR. In 2004, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology was developed as a part of the Department of Health and Human Services. In 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was signed into law, the goal of this act was to create new jobs and spur economic activity and invest in long-term growth (U.S. Government, 2012). The Act had a plan to achieve goals by providing $787 billion that would offer tax cuts and benefits for many working families, fund entitlement programs, such as unemployment benefits, and offer federal loans, and contracts (U.S. Government, 2012). After the Act was signed, the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (HIM) was given $2 billion in discretionary spending (Steinbrook, 2009). The coordinator of HIM set a goal of utilizing an effective electronic health record for every person in the United States by...

It enables a shared understanding of the actions that can be taken to improve health and wellbeing. It also provides guidance about embedding a health promotion approach into all planning processes, programs and service development across the NT. While this framework is intended to be used within the health sector, we strongly encourage other sectors and agencies outside of the health domain to use the framework. This framework should be used in conjunction with health promotion audit tools and other health promotion resources available in the NT, such as the Public Health Bush Books and the Quality Improvement Program Planning System (QIPPS). It is also designed to be used as a guide, together with other local, regional and national frameworks, policies, strategies and resources. Why Health Promotion? The World Health Organisation (WHO) acknowledges the growing evidence that health promotion and preventive health approaches are effective in improving overall health and wellbeing, reducing the burden of chronic disease and injury, addressing health inequities, facilitating the better use of resources and enhancing...

...Applying Ethical Frameworks in Practice Grand Canyon University: Ethical Decision Making in Healthcare Lisa Firkus October 27, 2013 Applying Ethical Frameworks in Practice Care providers strive to provide care that is patient focused that maintains confidentiality and respect. This paper is about the maintenance of patient confidentiality and the trusting relationships that must be maintained between the patient and the healthcare providers. Ethical Implications of Breaching Confidentiality Patients seek care and treatment in hopes of receiving confidential, unbiased, honest, and respectful treatment. They also expect that care providers maintain their personal values and beliefs related to their care. As healthcare providers, everyone has the responsibility to uphold the confidentiality of patients. Patient confidentiality includes information about the patient that is collected based upon what the patient reports and what the physician enters in the medical record. In a situation where confidentiality has been breached, serious implications can arise. A breach in confidentiality can result in a failure to respect patient's autonomy and poses a form of betrayal (Ministry of Ethics, 2012). The betrayal that can result in legal implications such a HIPPA violations but an even greater ramification can be the distrust of the patient and family in the caregiver and the healthcare system. Patients may also question the care provider's true intentions including values...

...students with learning disabilities, students from low-income families, and students from non-traditional and single parent families. As a result, determining how schools can adapt to meet the needs of these vast demographics, as well as how the varied demographics can play a role in the education of these students, has become more than just a topic of conversation and research for academic professionals, educators, researchers, and practitioners. Literature and research point to educational reform by improving school systems to foster multicultural educational environments. Specifically, school leadership and professional development are closely looked at as driving factors in which to achieve this educational reform. In their article “A Blueprint for Developing Culturally Proficient/Responsive School Administrators in Special Education,” Bakken and Smith (2011) focus on the need for school administrators to be culturally responsive/proficient in the special education arena particularly in order to better meet the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students who have learning disabilities (LD). Bakken and Smith highlight research that explains why school administrators should prepare themselves and their staff to work with CLD students of various races, ethnicities, languages, beliefs, and expressions of cultural individuality and the importance in doing so. The authors utilize a conceptual framework that outlines how school administrators can become culturally...

The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of community emergency preparedness, and events that can occur if there is a lack of preparedness and planning. This paper will demonstrate and summarize the actions of health care workers, steps taken, and needed to reduce risk factors, the role of public health agencies, and the community’s involvement to assist with their own safety. For example, did city officials prepare the residents of the neighborhood adequately? What is required to handle a wildfire emergency? What other public health agencies could have assisted with this emergency and how would this affect the outcome of the wildfire at the neighborhood forest? Wikipedia defines (“Emergency,” n.d.) as, “A situation that poses an immediate risk to health, life, property or environment.” Emergency preparedness involves interventions to prevent situations from becoming worse.
