...Identify and define the four basic word parts and their purpose associated with medical terms. Give an example of each word part, a definition of each part and cite a medical term that demonstrates correct usage of the word part. In medical terminology there are four basic word parts. They are word root, prefix, suffix and combing vowel. While each has its own functions they come together to make an endless array of words to describe many different medical terms that are helpful for reporting and transcription purposes. Word roots will never change its meaning. The purpose of word roots help you to determine the origin or subject of that word making reference to it in regard to the medical term. The definition of a word root, is a word that does not have a prefix or a suffix and is determined as the base word. Some even refer to it as a stem word. For example, aden/o meaning gland used to make the word adenocarcinoma. Adecarcinoma means a malignant tumor formed from glandular structures in epithelial tissue. Prefixes begin at the being of a word and is often incorporated to change the meaning of that word .The definition of a prefix is an affix paced before the stem of a word. It can be a word, letter, or a number. The prefix ab which means “away from” added to oral produces the word aboral (away from mouth).In addition, a suffix is attached to the end of a word root. All medical terms has a suffix unless the word root creates a word all by itself .A suffix is used to make...

...I have been pursuing my nursing degree for over 20 years, and throughout my journey I have had to overcome many obstacles. I took a small fourteen year leave of absence to raise my children, moved around the United States several times, and have had to overcome many personal setbacks. But I have always maintained the same plan to accomplish my short term and long term educational and professional goals. I have very specific educational and professional goals. My first goal will be accomplished May 8, 2008, when I graduate from Austin Community College with my associate nursing degree. After graduation I hope to work on a NICU, Labor and Delivery, or a Med/Surg. unit within the Seton Family. In January 2009, I plan on attending the online Associate to BSN program offered by the Texas Tech Health Science Center. Shortly after I obtain my BSN I will continue on to pursue my MSN. I will eventually be certified in one of the previously mentioned specialty units, and will use my MSN degree to be an educator within the Seton Family of Hospials and/or the local area colleges. All of this will be accomplished while working and attempting to further my career with Seton. I believe God, my determination, and Seton will help me accomplish my goals.

...A. Executive Summary: The Zhong-Lian Knitting Company Chinese Joint Venture (JV) is facing trouble among its two owners that have different objectives. American based Heartland Spindle is looking for higher profits and a move to higher quality clothing markets in the USA while Suzhou First Textile Company, the Chinese partner, is looking to enter the domestic Chinese market and expand its manufacturing capacity through job growth, in line with local government pressures. My recommendation is to first focus on what is best for the JV given its situation and opportunities – which is to grow through acquisition and focus on expanding its current clothing products into the Chinese Domestic market. From that analysis with the implied 4% ROI, Heartland should to exit the JV and invest in entities that better meet its needs and expectations in countries that are more attractive to its needs. Finally in the future Heartland should be more careful when entering into JV agreements so that all parties have an appreciation for cultural differences, a common understanding of objectives and directions that are embedded in the JV agreement. Note – the Executive Summary is one area that is repetitive of other sections given its nature. B. Industry Dynamics: The Zhong-Lian Joint Venture (JV) is currently manufacturing clothing for the US mass market, a strategic group within the overall apparel industry (versus high end fashion brands).

...Managing Motivation at Technocraft Lea Darrigade Ines Gyselinck Mary Sagala Benjamin Seban Intercultural Management BS 1 Christophoros Lambridis I. Introduction This report talks about the working motivational problem shown by the workers in a small factory named Technocraft, located in the South East of England. It had slowed down the company’s function in producing high-quality sound recording equipment. The problem has risen to high labor turnover and difficulties in recruiting new employees. It led George Orwell Newell, the company chairman, to hire a consultant named Helen McKiernan to figure out the sources of the problems. In order to help figuring out the problem, George Orwell told Helen about his hypothesis of the lack of motivation in workers is because company’s location which is in the below-average national unemployment are, therefore most of the women workers, who work on the wiring, had no real reason to work since they already have husbands who can earn adequate wages to fulfill living necessities. However, Helen did not want to conclude the problem there. When Helen had done her research, she found out that the workers actually enjoyed their work, but hate to work for the company. In other words, the problem that halted the working motivation in workers is the management itself. II. Forms of inefficient management that leads to the lack of working motivation. a) Uncomforting regulation on working performance In a company,...

...Student Survival Guide On the personality spectrum my biggest dimension was the giver personality. I think that I need to learn how to put other peoples needs aside so that I can focus on my school work more. I love to help others and will always put others before myself, but when going to school in a distance learning environment that will sometimes get in the way, it is easy to put off school work for other people. I need to designate time away from my husband and children so that I can concentrate on the task at hand in my schooling. That does not mean that I need to neglect my family, I just need to also make time for myself. When doing research on the internet I need to be very careful. It is easy to get into websites that are not ones that I should be using for education research. It is difficult because there are websites like Wikipedia that look like they are credible and good for research purposes, but in fact they are not. Sites like wiki are able to be changed by anyone, allowing people to go in and change information, making it false, or adding information that is not correct in with what is. A good way to know if I am on a good website is if it is .edu, .gov, or .org. I need to make sure I am doing lots of research on any topic to make sure that I have all the facts about that topic correct. The University of Phoenix has a lot of good resources to use for research. They have a University Library that is very helpful when doing research. I can choose different...

...that they are too short term oriented, too focused on fast returns, and that this negatively impacts their long term capital budgeting. Can you suggest a company, or industry, where this appears to be true. How? Why? Instant gratification is important in today’s society. People do not have the time in their busy lives to wait on much. Companies also focus on instant gratification and make decisions to help bring in quick returns to satisfy investors. Strong or growing earnings per share is important for investors. Some industries will make decisions that may not be long termed oriented to keep from reducing earnings per share and return on investment. A great example is General Motors. General Motors went a bit too far and had a class action suit against them. They settled in 2008 for $303 million to its shareholders. “The two-year-old class-action lawsuit stems from claims that GM issued false and misleading statements about its finances to artificially inflate the company’s stock price and debt securities “(General Motors 2005). The problem with short term orientation is that the company may take money from other areas to achieve earnings that are expected of them. This money can come from research and development or advertising and have a long term effect on the company. It is still important to keep an eye on short term gains to earn capital that the company needs to provide for its long term goals, but the company still needs to focus on long term and sustainability. ...

...and powerful in both stability and its financial systems. However, the global crisis of 2008 cost 10 million people to loose their jobs, savings and even their homes. The unemployment rate in Iceland tripled and the government regulators who were in charge of taking care of its society allied to side of bankruptcy. In 2008, Iceland was in the brink of bankruptcy. In a scenario repeated in the United States (US) the financial regulators failed to raise the alarm or halt the reckless borrowing. What the Banks and financial institutions have done over the years has enriched themselves as companies and individuals at the expense of the greater good of other and the economy and environment as a whole, forcing high short term returns at the cost of not doing long term investment in plant, products, training and environmental protection amongst others. Instead they have used the power and influence that they have to further reduce the legal restrictions on what they and prevent any meaningful increase in regulation, permitting only window dressing laws that do little and are easily circumvented. This has given them more power and influence with which they get further concessions and so acquire more money and so on. With the financial crash in 2007 the reason why such regulation was needed became obvious, but again the financial sector used their power to prevent any meaningful reform. However acting on the suspicion that an investment is a bad one by betting against it for own financial...
