...The patient in our case study is a 6-month-old female whose father brings her to be evaluated by her physician. The patient presents with faintly blue skin and mucous membranes. Her breathing is normal and she does not present with any other symptoms. Her blood is drawn and is found to have a slight brown cast. In completing a differential diagnosis, it is important to review the normal physiology of the respiratory system. The respiratory system has four functions including exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the blood, homeostatic regulation of body pH, protection from inhaled pathogens and irritating substances, and vocalization. The respiratory system carries out these functions by exchanging air between the environment and the...

...deliver vital input to the operational design. However, there are a great number of theories regarding the phenomenon which can create a certain degree of confusion. The diversity in theories may lead to misdirected mental energy where the focus is to discuss theories instead of using the theories at hand efficiently. The question is if the diversity in theory is an actual problem or if it just perceived as such? This research identifies the similarities and differences in the theories of Milan Vego and Joseph Strange & Richard Iron regarding CoGs, their sub elements and methods for analysis. The impact of the differences on the practical result is then surveyed by implementing the theories on adelimitated phase of the Falklands War, in order to conclude if the differences have a decisive impact on the product of the CoG analysis. The result of this thesis indicates that the diversity in theory is a perceived problem. The identified divergence does not reflect crucially on the CoG analysis and the variation of the input provided to the operational design is minor. The CoGs and the critical vulnerabilities identified are the same or at least similar, no matter which of the two theories was used in this research.

...Case Study: 2 1) What is your evaluation of the MGI’s team processes? What were the root causes of the team’s process problems? The MGI team focused more on brainstorming new and alternate ideas rather than identifying and defining the existing problem and finding a solution for it. The team members had disagreements over each other’s expertise and often ended up in conflict. The Team focused more on their personal conflicts rather than working together and finalizing a solution. The Team was composed of individuals with diverse functional attributes. These attributes were different way of thinking, different approaches to time management and problem solving, which resulted in lack of leadership, roles and unclear goals. The Team was more focused on launching the business successfully then winning the competition. There was a lot of conflicting expectations and some confusion between different team members. We evaluated that the team forming took in different phases over few weeks. Not everyone was present in the first meeting. Roman was not present in the first meeting. Alex was introduced in the second meeting and Dav was included in the third meeting. This evaluation also highlights the importance of kick-off meeting. The team should have been organized from the start with clear goals, scope and newness should have been avoided or minimized. We also evaluated that the Team did not discuss the norms and values of the team which would have helped them achieve...

...2.4 Organizational Factors Several studies and case reviews have found that organizational factors may be the most critical in considering human factors contributions to oil spills. At the organizational level, various factors may contribute to an increase in incidents and accidents, including cost-cutting programs and the level of communication between work-sites (Gordon, 1998). Pate-Cornell and Murphy (1996) studied organizational factors across several industries and found that operators are generally predictable and well intentioned, and that often “errors” were caused not by lapsed judgment or operator error, but because of their work environment, incentives system, or information availability. Pate-Cornell and Murphy noted a common lack...

...women in the general populations of Canada, the United States, and Western Europe have mild anemia. It is thought that the rates of anemia are 2-5 times higher in the developing countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), iron deficiency is the most important nutritional disorder in the world. WHO, estimates that 80% of the world's population may be iron deficient. The prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency among the geriatric population is estimated at 5-15%. Although the prevalence of anemia is greater in women than men aged less than 75, by age 75, male prevalence surpasses female prevalence by about 5%. Anemia can be mild, moderate, or severe enough to lead to life-threatening complications. More than 400 different types of anemia have been identified, many of which are rare. Iron deficiency anemia The onset of iron deficiency anemia is gradual and, at first, there may not be any symptoms. The deficiency begins when the body loses more iron than it derives from food and other sources. Because depleted iron stores cannot meet the red blood cell's needs, fewer red blood cells develop. In this early stage of anemia, the red blood cells look normal but they are reduced in number. Then the body tries to compensate for the iron deficiency by producing more red blood cells, which are characteristically small in size. Symptoms of anemia develop at this stage. Folic acid deficiency anemia Folic acid anemia is especially common in infants and teenagers. Although...

...an issue of policy interest. There are two big questions that the prospects of a significant rise in foreign direct investment (FDI) from China into the Australian resources sector have raised. Is the surge of FDI into Australian mining and energy consistent with achieving the traditional gains from foreign investment? And are there any particular problems associated with investment from foreign state-owned enterprises or state managed sovereign wealth funds? These are among the questions addressed in this paper. The paper argues that there are no issues that cannot be dealt with under the umbrella of the established test of ‗national interest‘ in managing the growth of Chinese FDI into the Australian minerals sector. It argues that a confusion has been introduced into policy over the questions of state-ownership and supplier-buyer relations in respect of Chinese investments and that clarifying these issues is likely to be important to Australia‘s capturing the full benefits from the growth of Chinese resources demand and longer term economic and strategic interests in China.

...Water Soluble Vitamins and the Bodily Functions They Promote Vitamins and mineral supplements are items that most people would think are good for their bodies. Unfortunately, this is only a half truth. There are many people that are not aware of the full ramifications of vitamins, minerals, and other non-energy yielding nutrients. You need vitamins and minerals, but in excess they can be poison. Vitamin literally means “life, containing nitrogen.” (Rolfes, Pinna, Whitney 321). The first vitamins contained nitrogen, however vitamins that do not contain nitrogen are just as important to life. Vitamins, as well as minerals, are very important to living beings because they are the substances which assist in the metabolism of energy-yielding nutrients or the development of bodily structures. In the absence of vitamins, there is a wide variety of symptoms that can occur. These things are including, but not limited to, blindness, dementia, and the improper development of bodily structures. The assistance that is provided by vitamins is of high importance, but that is not the only function of vitamins. Vitamins prevent deficiency symptoms, but if the proper dosage is taken they also help your body perform optimally. Your bodily system stays healthy as a result. (Rolfes, Pinna, Whitney 322) Vitamins are not like carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. First of all, vitamins do not provide any energy to the body. (Rolfes, Pinna, Whitney 322) Vitamins are also individual...
