...This argument suffers most from a closed-minded view of the needs and conditions of terminal patients. It assumes that patients will be satisfied receiving the same care until they die and not suffer emotionally from their ordeal and that their loved ones will not need any help in the grieving process. In reality, hospices are well equipped with staffs trained to care for the emotional and spiritual needs of the dying and their families on top of just the physical needs like a normal hospital would(Longe 572). This spiritual and emotional care is often extended to the family and friends of the patient as well to ensure that the passing on is accepted and borne with dignity. These services often include access to social workers and therapists who are trained to help in coping with accepting the death of a loved one. Hospitals are not equipped to replace the benefits provided by a hospice when it comes to dignity and acceptance for both the patient and the...

...Listeriosis is also deadly because it can infect the CNS which can cause you to get mentally and gain more infections (Frey and Longe, 2015). Also Listeria can cause “significant mortality...the rate for listeria mortality in humans is 20-30%” (Rowland et al, 2015). Listeria is also known to be worse than foodborne disease botulism or salmonella which are already known as fatal. Studies and research report that there are 500 deaths from Listeria each year in the U.S (Rowland et al, 2015). To prevent from getting a Listeria infection, it mainly relies on the preparation of your food and it is stored after (Frey and Longe, 2015). Also to prevent from getting this would be to avoid raw food and milk, and to make sure your food is clean. Things like running your vegetables under water can prevent you from this. And the simple things like being...

...The internet has changed how organizations conduct business. Within moments information exchange occurs and a profit is made. It has changed how crimes are investigated and solved by law enforcement agencies. Unfortunately, it has also changed how criminals conduct their crimes- through cyberspace. President Obama, Sony executives, Target organization and many of its’ customers have all been victims of some form of cyber crimes. This writer will provide a brief overview of the six types of cybercrimes and the economic loss as it affects America’s businesses. TYPES OF CYBER CRIME The growth and availability of technology has resulted in cyber attacks becoming a major concern for governments worldwide (Dzielinski, 2014). Small companies along with the larger corporations are now being targeted. A recent survey reported that more than one-third of small companies have been victims of some form of cyber attacks (Dzielinski, 2014). Approximately 75 percent of these companies were unable to recover their stolen data. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has classified cyber crimes into six categories; fraud, computer trespassing, hardware hijacking, bullying-harassment-stalking, spam, and cyber warfare. Financial fraud is considered to be the most common of the six cyber attacks. The Target Corporation, the third largest U.S. retailer, and its customers were affected in 2013 (Target Corporation, 2013). Despite in place security measures, Target failed to detect...

...Uma Nova Visão do Sofrimento Humano nas Organizações Analisar o trabalho – assim como o conhecemos hoje, moldado às exigências do mercado – enquanto provedor e algoz do trabalhador e, consequentemente, da sociedade, sob a ótica da Psicopatologia do Trabalho: a isto se dispõe inicialmente o texto do francês Christophe Dejours, tendo por principais focos o sofrimento laboral que, por sua vez, pode ser tanto proveitoso (sofrimento criativo) quanto prejudicial (sofrimento patogênico), e as organizações do trabalho enquanto ponto de partida para uma possível solução, ou seja, transformar o sofrimento patogênico em sofrimento criativo. Ao introduzir o leitor à Psicopatologia do Trabalho, Dejours já deixa claro que essa disciplina encontrou seu nicho não nas investigações das doenças mentais relacionadas ao trabalho, mas no “enigma da normalidade”, nas razões por que o trabalhador mantém-se mentalmente estável face os mais variados tipos de afrontas psíquicas. Em outras palavras, é no comedimento e na harmonia profissional que se encontra o sofrimento do trabalhador. O autor define esse sofrimento como uma batalha para manter-se são, um conflito constante que exige do trabalhador estratégias defensivas que visam à lucidez. Esse conflito, por sua vez, se traduz do confronto entre a personalidade do trabalhador e as exigências organizacionais, entre o homem enquanto indivíduo e o papel genérico ao qual ele deve adequar-se (ou moldar-se). Partindo de elaborações feitas...

...Final Project Nursing Roles 1 May 26, 2014 Cushing’s Syndrome Cushing's syndrome is a hormonal disorder that is caused by prolonged exposure of the body to high levels of the hormone cortisol for a prolonged period of time.. This syndrome affects mainly adults between the ages of 20 and 50 however it can occur at any age. Women are affected five times more often than men. Approximately 10 to 15 people out of every million people are newly diagnosed every year. It can be caused by several conditions, the most common is “prolonged administration of high doses of corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone)” (Lewis, Dirksen, Heitkemper, Bucher, & Camera, 2011, p. 1276). It can also be caused by a pituitary tumor, which can cause excessive levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) to be produced. Other causes include ectopic ACTH production by lung or pancreas tumors (more common in men) or by adrenal tumors (more common in women) (Lewis et al., 2011, p. 1277). Some signs and symptoms of Cushing Syndrome include: weight gain, primarily in the trunk, face (called moon face) and cervical spine regions (known as a “buffalo hump”). Patients will also have thin extremities from muscle wasting. Patients will have signs of hyperglycemia, such as glycosuria and fatigue as well as increased gluconeogenesis. Men may experience gynecomastia and testicular atrophy, where women may experience enlargement of the clitoris and irregular menstruation. The list continues with: poor wound healing...

...Abstract Could you imagine being so afraid of food and the possibility of gaining weight that you would actually starve yourself? Food and eating are pleasures of everyday life we take for granted. Having the life of an Anorexic person fills you with the constant fear of one thing “becoming fat”. Many teen girls suffer with anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder in which girls use starvation diets to try to lose weight. They starve themselves down to skeletal thinness yet still think that they are overweight. Bulimia, meanwhile, is a disorder in which young women binge on food and then force themselves to vomit. They also often use laxatives to get food out of their system. All of these young women who suffer from this problem are considered to suffer from a psychiatric disorder. While the causes are debatable, one thing that is clear is that these young women have a distorted body image. (Wolf, 1991, p. 214-216) Eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa are slowly gripping a part of the female adolescent to young adult population. Although, Anorexia Nervosa has only been public since the 1970’s, records of the disorder go back as far as 1689. Thomas Morton, an English physician, studied subjects with a disorder he called the “wasting” disease. He had two cases, which were very similar. One was an eight-teen yr. old girl and the other was a six-teen yr. old boy. Both subjects had similar symptoms. They both had a strong lack of appetite, sensitivity to coldness, and extreme...

...SKIN CANCER & TANNING The idea of a “healthy tan” is a myth which must be corrected in order to reduce the increasing incidence of skin cancer in the world. An individual's skin color is determined by their genes and their environment. Our skin can change color in reaction to sun exposure. This is called the "tanning response." When skin absorbs UV radiation, melanin is produced and transferred to the keratinocytes cells within the skin thereby darkening the color of the skin. Melanin in the skin absorbs and scatters UV radiation entering the body and helps protect the skin from adverse reactions to radiation. Thus, the "tanning response" is really a defensive reaction by the body to the presence of damaging radiation, and an effort by the body to protect itself from the harmful affect of ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B (UVA and UVB) rays (“Anatomy”). A tan still remains in the minds of many as socially desirable. Each day we are confronted with images on television and in magazines of golden-brown models and celebrities. In addition, we are the targets of local advertising and promotion of tanning salons. People must understand that a tan is not necessary; and that in addition to the premature aging of the skin, there are serious and possibly deadly consequences from the overexposure of one’s body to UVA and/or UVB rays. The deadly consequence is skin cancer. When people think of cancer they relate to the threat of colon cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate...

...Espasmos Cerebrais e a Aritmética da Vida A luz do acordar ainda me fere os olhos, como me fere por saber que chegou um novo dia. Fechado no meu quarto, pensando e repensando, só os meus pensamentos alcançam o exterior, tudo parece mais fácil. Quanto mais escrevo mais tomo consciência sobre o que se passa na vida, as constantes mudanças da sociedade e de mentalidade nos indivíduos faz com que o ser humano seja um predador nato, que sofre várias metamorfoses na esperança que seja aceite pelos outros na sociedade. A mudança é um dos maiores aliados do avanço do tempo, quem não muda fica sujeito a ser-se esquecido pelo tempo o que me leva a divagar na procura de personagens que não se sujeitem a esta nova realidade das massas que é as aparências. Basta sair por ai e ver os típicos “morangos com açúcar” a caminhar entre nós, quase todos de aparência igual, em busca dos sonhos perdidos, vagueando vestidos de fantasia procurando se libertar da vida vazia. As aparências ditam o modo que agimos, mas não o modo como somos. A roupa e como um casulo protector, uma mascara que coloca uma barreira ao mundo exterior e à socialização. Depois surgem os estereótipos sobre quem é quem porque ninguém consegue mostrar ao mundo realmente aquilo que é, vivem perseguidos por modas e pelo consumismo que lhes consomem o que são na realidade. Continuo a acreditar que nem tudo é assim tão linear, é sempre possível mudar a realidade, e não deixar que a sociedade possa corromper o ser humano transformando-o...

...COED SCHOOLS PROVIDE SOCIETAL BENEFITS OVER SINGLE-SEX CLASSES US Fed News Service, Including US State News [Washington, D.C] 05 May 2011. The full text may take 40-60 seconds to translate; larger documents may take longe Cancel • Jump to first hit TEMPE, Ariz., May 4 -- Arizona State University issued the following press release: How can educators, families and communities promote and improve coeducation in schools from preschool through higher education? This is a far-reaching question two new initiatives at Arizona State University are addressing through the American Council for CoEducational Schooling (ACCES) and the Sanford Harmony Program. ACCES is operated through the university's School of Social and Family Dynamics in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and is made up of scholars and citizens from across the United States who are focused on children, education, families and communities. The Sanford Harmony Program is a research and curriculum initiative also operated through the school, and funded by philanthropist T. Denny Sanford, that is working to understand and enhance relationships among girls and boys. While teaching in single-sex schools and classrooms has become increasingly popular in recent years, there is little scientific evidence that shows teaching boys and girls in separate public school classrooms is advantageous over teaching in coed classes, said Richard Fabes, professor and director of the School of Social and Family Dynamics and ACCES...

...Physical Appearance Impacts Social Relations, Not Personality Development Purva H. Rawal Northwestern University The author takes a fundamental physical reality, our appearance, and then attempts to see how this largely immutable inheritance shapes our personality development. The basis of the paper is that people react to another individual's physical appearance, thereby provoking a behavior in the individual that is a response to the initial reaction. In other words, the author hypothesizes that a self-fulfilling prophecy takes place. The circular phenomenon then affects development and socialization. Popkins presents his hypothesis clearly and succinctly; however, he makes a few points that deserve attention. He quickly sums up the eternally controversial nature and nurture debate in a matter of a sentence. At the same time, he quantifies the effects of nature and nurture at fifty percent. This is a presumptuous statement, as the debate continues to fuel controversy in psychological circles. For example, if nature and nurture were truly each fifty percent responsible for any psychological behavior or effect then we would have to assume that in monozygotic twin studies conducted on bipolar disorder patients, the concordance rates would be hovering closely around the fifty percent mark (Bertelsen, Harvald, & Hauge, 1977). However, as has been clearly demonstrated, the concordance rates for monozygotic twins suffering from bipolar disorder range from the high sixty percent...

...Depending on the severity, some might work more effectively than others. Benzoyl-Peroxide is one of the most popular approaches for treating the pimples. It is usually used as a topical and is found in over the counter products that do not always require a prescription. By mildly irritating the skin, the Benzoyl-Peroxide helps open the clogged pores and controls the bacteria that causes pimples. However, there are some side effects that occur with using this product. Users may experience stinging, peeling, slight redness, and dryness. Also, it is cautioned that it may bleach fabrics and discolor hair. (Longe...

...of Sun Exposure Tanned skin never used to be desirable. To look at people now one would never believe that statement. In the 1900s it was considered a sign of the lower class. Tanned skin was a direct result of manual labor, of having to work to provide either for ones’ family or their own livelihood. It could also be construed as a sign of poverty. Only the wealthy were untanned as they had servants or maids and work hands that did manual labor for them. In the 1920s tanning became popular with the wealthy, when Coco Chanel, the famous fashion designer, took a vacation to the Riviera. She returned with a deep tan. Tanning then became all the rage and became to be known as a symbol of wealth and leisure (Longe, J, 2011 p2160). Today, tanning is still considered fashionable. People pursue it for cosmetic reasons as well as for competitive reasons. Bodybuilders tan, as it defines the cut of muscles and makes them stand out. (All about Suntans and Tanning 2013). In beauty competitions contestants tan to look healthy. Skin is most associated with healthy outdoor activities and vacationing in sunny locations. The reality is that the tan color which results on the skin from exposure to the sun, is actually the skins’ reaction to damage being done by UV rays. (Carroll, M 2009). How dangerous is exposure to the suns’ ultraviolet rays? When weighing the benefits against the risks, it seems common sense to avoid exposure to ultraviolet...

...Living in a technology savvy world Kristian Agnew BIS/220 University of Phoenix February 16, 2013 3% similarity index The world that we live in and the worlds that our grandparents lived in, are more than likely two completely different worlds. There once was a time when people knew who their neighbors were, children played outside for recreation, when a loved one was missed, a letter was written or a telephone call from a landline was made, and books were read the old fashioned way (in paper form). That world seems like it was centuries ago, but it was only a few decades previous. In today’s society, if you haven’t seen a loved one, they are just a skype call or Facebook status away. Almost everyone has an email address. Due to this, a stamp and letter seems more extinct by the day. We live in a world where we have access to books right at our fingertips via our smart phones or tablets and children prefer video games rather than going outside to play with their friends. The advances in information technology have played a key role in shaping the rights we have and much of our day-to-day activities. An example of this would be HIPAA or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act that was established in 1996. Around this time, medical facilities, including hospitals, and private practices, started implementing the use of digital medical records. To limit the amount of personal information being disclosed to anyone other than the patient...
