Nursing has advanced significantly over the last 150 years and the days of Florence Nightingale, but nursing is still in its infancy in regards to its potential that needs to be for the changing population. The population in this United States is changing; people are living longer than ever before with complex health issues, large cultural and minority groups within this country continue to grow, and those living in rural or poverty environments all in need of more support. “Affordable Care Act”, passed in 2010, there will be an influx of patients that are entering the health care arena that have had limited access to health care. The 2010 Institute of Medicine, Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, discusses changes that need to take place in order to provide efficient care to their patients which include nursing education, changes to scope of practice to fit the training Registered Nurses (RN’s) and Advance Practice Registered Nurses (AR NP’s) gained during their...

...experience with parental separation, current psychosocial functioning, level of family stressors, and basic demographic data (Applewhite & Mays, 1996). The questionnaire was sent by mail to the active military member, a postcard was sent twice as a reminder to fill out the questionnaire. Finally the questionnaire was sent a second time. Total number questionnaires collected were 110 and added to the phone responses the total was 151. The findings of this study gave results for the average age of the children, the number of male and female children, the number or first, second, and third children, how many lived in two-parent and single-parent households, how long they lived there, how many moves they have experienced, their age during their first parental separation, how long the first separation was, and the active-duty parents rank. The findings showed that there were more first born children of active-duty fathers than there were to active-duty mothers. Children of active-duty fathers were also younger than those of active-duty mothers. This study also showed that children of active-duty mothers were more likely to live in a single-parent home and active-duty mothers were more likely to be an enlisted service member unlike active-duty fathers (Applewhite & Mays, 1996). Limitations of this study include small sample population, time lapse in between the time of separation and the questionnaire and low return rate. If the study population would have been larger the results...

... In Various studies, it has been found that IGRA (ex-vivo) is more specific than TST (in-vivo) in BCG vaccinated persons- reason is in contrast to mixture of Ags (>200) used in TST (shared by NTM, M. bovis strain-BCG vaccination), IGRA measure immune response to limited no. of specific RD-1 peptides ex. ESAT-6, CFP-10, TB-7 (highly specific to M.tb and limited no. of NTM) So better is to combine both tests to increase the specificity and to overcome the limitation of BCG vaccination. There are some controversies regarding use of IGRA in various studies like- QFT-G test can’t completely discriminate active TB disease from LTBI because an overlap in the IFN levels between active TB disease and LTBI groups. Also controversy regarding its value in immunocompromised in various studies.Limited value to screen and rule out Extra pulmonary TB specially as diagnostic tool esp. in low/middle income countries. In study, sensitivity was 72-86% in high income countries and 14-48% in low/middle income countries. Some studies showing that IGRA increases the likelihood of conversion /reversion over time but no validation criteria available...

...error? In principle, errors can be divided into those resulting from a more or less ‘intentional’ manipulation of answers by respondents, and unintentional discrepancies between the real and reported values. Unintentional measurement errors arise when the answers given by respondents in good faith do not correspond to the ‘real’ value on the variable in question. There are various reasons why unintentional measurement errors may occur. First of all, the content of the question may be unclear or ambiguous. This problem is likely to give rise to discrepancies between the concept as intended by the researchers and the concept as understood by respondents, as well as to discrepancies between the understanding of the concept by different groups of respondents (Ward et al. 2002). Dykema & Schaeffer (2000) have shown that complexity and clarity are strong predictors of measurement errors. Such errors seem particularly likely in the case of characteristics such as skills and...

... Prof. Hala El-Saied 2010 In September 2004, the Financial Sector Reform Program was launched and endorsed by the Government of Egypt at the highest political level. The five pillars of the program are reforming the banking sector, restructuring the insurance sector, deepening the capital markets, developing a well functioning mortgage market, and activating other non-bank financial institutions and services. The program aims at improving the soundness of the financial sector and promoting an enabling environment for an efficient, competitive and agile financial system that serves Egypt’s development and growth objectives. The progress and pace of the Egyptian Financial Sector Reform Program have been commended at home and abroad. However, we still have some way to go to fully reform the sector and address its main challenges; one of which is ensuring better access to financial services which is imperative to economic growth and development. Improving access to finance allows businesses, especially small and medium enterprises, to capitalize on their growth potential, operate on a larger scale and turn initiatives and ideas into employment opportunities. Moreover better and wider access to financial services by households at all income levels positively impacts their economic and social welfare. Micro finance is the provision of a broad range of financial services, such as deposits loans, payment...

...The L.scobina also stay in groups to prevent drying out as this will result in a small loss of water, forming an area of higher humidity around the group. This will then bring forth the outcome of an individual L.scobina losing their water at a slower rate. If each L.scobina stays separate from one another, their openings will be exposed, allowing water to be lost at a faster rate and they are trying to avoid this, thus they stay in groups when exposed. Larger (older) individuals have an increased chance at enduring desiccation, as it will take longer for water to evaporate from a larger individual than a smaller individual, since the older L.scobina can carry a larger amount of water in their shell. To further reduce chances of drying out and exposure to higher temperatures the L.scobina hunt for their prey during high tide, as this is far more convenient and they are able to easily move in the water to get to their prey without having to use too much energy. This is because if the L.scobina hunted during low-tide, they will have high chances of desiccating as they are using energy to move whilst being exposed to the sun, increasing the rate of water...

...understanding about how much of an impact the media has on individuals in an undesirable way. Specifically, I was interested in the possibility that communication media had a negative influence on the body images of both men and women. Originally I was only concerned with adults but then I expanded and began looking for data representing young children and adolescences. I was searching for signs concerning the fact that media exposure could be leading to unhealthy weight losses, an increase in eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia and binge eating) as well as mental illness symptoms. Much of the empirical evidence revealed that the media did in fact have adverse consequences for a variety of individuals. A large collection of data suggests that low levels of body satisfaction, a decline in self-esteem and disordered eating habits are strongly correlated with the media’s ideal message. The results aren’t surprising because we live in a world were we are so reliant on and always exposing ourselves to entertainment media – reality TV shows, music videos, high fashion magazine photographs, etc. When we turn on the television and when we’re standing in line at the grocery store flipping through magazines, we see picture-perfect celebrity images and as expected both men and women are bothered by these presentations. “Body ideals are inconsistent, ever-shifting, and generally unrealistic for the majority” (Gerstein, 2015). Women today seem to want the same hourglass figure that Kim Kardashian...

...are violent, for example: murder by using poison. This means the brain abnormalities found do not always link to violence. However, this experiment might have an amount of ecological validity because the majority of murderers are in prison, similar to the prisoners in this experiment. Also, because there was a good control group of many ages and with different mental disorders there could be good external validity. But, there was only two females and a small sample in comparison to the amount of murderers in the world, so these aspects could lead to a low ecological validity. In addition, there might not be a cause and effect relationship between these brain abnormalities and violence because we do not know whether the abnormalities were there prior to the murder or not. This might be a limitation to the natural experiment because Raine could not choose who the murderers were and was unable to scan their brains prior to the crime being committed. This experiment might be reductionist because it does not explore all the reasons for these brain abnormalities, they might be caused by more than committing murder. The experiment done by Simon et alia might have a low external validity because there was only one participant, so it...

...Obese children tend to grow up to be obese adults | 1 | "The rise in childhood obesity … may be beginning to level off," BBC News reports. Researchers examined trends in child and adolescent rates of overweight and obesity using electronic GP records from 1994 to 2013. The data shows there was a significant increase in child and adolescent overweight and obesity rates every year during the first decade from 1994 to 2003. Overall, annual rates did not increase significantly during the second decade, 2004 to 2013.However, when split by age category, the results showed there was still a significant upward trend in overweight and obesity rates for the oldest age group (11 to 15 years) – albeit with less of an increase than there was in the first decade. At its maximum in recent years, overweight and obesity has affected almost two-fifths of adolescents in this age group.As the researchers used GP records, it is possible children who have problems with their weight and were assessed by their GP are over-represented. This could then lead to an overestimate of prevalence. However, it is hard to think of another method of analysis that would provide a more reliable estimate.While it is encouraging to see that the child obesity epidemic is not getting worse, there are also no clear signs as yet that it's getting any better. Underlying factors, such as low activity levels and easy access to calorie-rich, nutrient-poor foods, still remain to be addressed. | 2 | Childhood obesity –...

...Interestingly though, when these same children were compared to control subjects while they were on stimulant medication then statistically significant differences in low alpha (p=0.0418) and high alpha (p=0.0164) power were found, with low alpha power found to be significantly lower and high alpha power found to be significantly higher in children with ADHD on stimulant medication. This suggests that methylphenidate has the ability to influence alpha power activity during focussed attention in these individuals. In the final analysis, alpha power during focussed attention was compared between children with ADHD while they were on stimulant medication and while they were stimulant-free. In this comparison a statistically significant difference in high alpha power (p=0.0486) was found, with high alpha power found to be significantly greater in children with ADHD while on stimulant medication. This finding therefore suggests that methylphenidate...
