...The University of Southampton UK should study the subject before they publish a paper on it as if no one else has ever studied "near death" before. If the University of Southampton UK had bothered to study the data already available, they would have seen that the things they bring up have already been explained. This paper brings up nothing new other than a misleading conclusion. What they bring up is so well understood by neuroscientists that they can even reproduce the visions. This in itself proves that visions do not mean there is life after death and that we are not so special. For example, this abstract mentions some people seeing a light at the end of a tunnel as if that can only be explained as proof of life after death or a universal...

...1.Each hotel should form an Environmental Committee that is responsible for developing an Environmental Green Plan for energy, water, and solid waste use. We will have a committee meeting every month to discuss what to do better about becoming more environmental friendly. Managers come up with ideas and develop new projects of becoming greener. Our goal is to be a green friendly hotel that cares about our nature and to be able to reach these goals we have these meetings once a month. One of our developed projects is the green meeting program that minimizes harm to the environment during meetings and events, provides guidance and assistance in executive green meetings and meets the needs of the customer requesting a green meeting event. Basically, a green meeting supports a green initiative and is expected to save money while improving the environment. The greening of a meeting can be accomplished in many ways; including not pre-filling water glasses at banquet tables, collecting name tags and badge holders for reuse, providing recycling areas inside exhibition areas, and using compostable cups instead of water bottles. The bottom line is that we want to make people aware of becoming more environmentally friendly. 2. Manage your hotel’s environmental performance by monitoring the electric, gas, water, and waste usage information on a monthly and annual basis. Our engineering department will make sure our hotels environmental performance will be monitored on a monthly basis...

...Simulation of room air conditioning strategies for hospital operation theatres KARTHIKEYAN P, MURALIDHARAN K, ANAND SAMUEL Department of Mechanical Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology, Deemed university, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, Pin code-632014. INDIA. Abstract: Hospitals have not always been fully air conditioned, except for new buildings in urban areas where ambient noise and atmospheric pollution necessitate having closed, double glazed windows. Air conditioning has been restricted by economic considera¬tions and has been confined to places where it was essential, for example operating theatres. Many operating theatres have been air-conditioned using conventional methods of turbulent air distribution but, as with clean rooms, this proves unsatisfactory in the prevention of airborne contamination. This paper emphasizes different types of air-conditioning strategies, their advantages and disadvantages in the case of operation theatres. It also brings out the impact of computational fluid dynamics codes in Indoor air flow simulation. Keywords: Operation theatres, Air conditioning systems, operating room air distribution, Room air-conditioning strategies, Air- quality & computational fluid dynamics. 1.Introduction There are three sources of bacterial contaminations: the supply of air to the theatre; the surgical team; and the emissions of bodily vapors and organisms from the patient. To deal with these and to prevent turbulent air movement and convection...

...I am going to have to have the trauma surgeon with me to help me with the critical patient. I step out of the OR and go to the unloading area. The flashing lights soon overcame the trauma surgeon and me. We both ran outside to help get them in as soon as possible. The EMT brought the critical patient out, and the trauma surgeon rushed him to the OR. I grabbed the second person and wheeled her inside. Once inside, I finally took a look at her face. “Mama?” I put two fingers on her neck. There was no pulse. She was covered in blood. “Mama?” I fell to the floor. “Aurora, operating room now!” The EMT...

...to be malpractice on the doctor’s part? This paper will differentiate between negligence, gross negligence, and malpractice. After differentiating between these terms, it will be determined if the doctor operating on Mr. Benson was considered to be negligent, gross negligent or was this mistake malpractice. To determine if the doctor who operated on Mr. Benson was negligent, the term negligent has to be defined. According to the Journal of Legal Nurse Consulting (2007), negligence is defined as the failure to exercise the standard of care that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in a similar situation, any conduct that falls below the legal standard established to protect others against unreasonable risk of harm, except for conduct that is intentionally, wantonly, or willfully disregardful of others’ rights. In Mr. Benson’s case, the doctor would be considered to be negligent. The surgeon did not act in the same way another surgeon, in the same practice would have acted. For some reason, not all the measures were taken to ensure the correct leg was to be amputated. There have been other cases like this that have happened in the past and procedures were created so this type of mistake would not happen again. Such procedures are taking a time out right before surgery is to happen. All staff in the operating room is to stop and take a time out, making sure the correct patient is in the operating room and the...

ONLINE RECRUITMENT Paper vs. Online Recruitment Troy University - ETroy Human Resource Development MGT 4483 T2/11 Tracy Rockwell, MSHRM, MPA December 15, 2011 Paper vs. Online Recruitment Human Resource Development (HRD) should be proactive and future oriented; therefore, I chose this topic because of the demand to recruit potential applicants via the internet. A vast number of companies are requiring applicants to apply online; this is the only way for an individual to submit the application and/or resume. Applying online is one of the fastest ways to recruit and has proven to be a benefit to the company because it saves paper, money, time and trees (environmental friendly). With this favorable practice, applicants must know how to successfully apply for a job online. Each company has their own process; therefore, it’s important for applicants to receive information and instructions on how to meet the hiring company requirements. Meeting their hiring requirements can be the result of whether or not the person will be considered for the job. An applicant applying online has been identified as an analytic need for companies because it enhances their hiring process. These needs are generally perceived by intuition, insight, or expert consideration. The need exist on an organizational, task, and person analysis level of need. The organizational analysis suggests where in the company training is needed and under what conditions it will...

...BUS/210 | Robert Shereda | 11/4/2012 | Developing Good Business Sense- Why Do Operating Systems Differ? Many people take the way goods and services are provided to them for granted. They do not think about the nature of the operating system that produces the goods and services they receive. To improve your understanding of how OMM processes work, complete the following assignment. 1. Choose three companies and observe how employees do their tasks. These can be three different fast-food restaurants or three entirely different types of companies, such as a fast-food restaurant, department store, or the emergency room of a hospital. 2. Think about the differences in the operations involved in the input, operations, and output stages of these companies. Try to identify the nature of their operating systems. Are employees organized in different ways? If so, why? If possible, talk to the managers and employees in these operations to further your analysis. 3. What are the main kinds of OMM costs companies have? How does this affect their OMM operations? 4. How do companies design their operating systems to give them a competitive advantage? Operations and Material Management in Business | I will establish the differences in the operations involved in the input, operations, and output stages of three local businesses that I access almost every day. Next, I will identify the nature of their operating systems that produce the goods and services that I receive when I visit these establishments...

Abstract 1. The subject of this paper is to discuss different IT problems and solutions in a large retail company. 2. This paper will discuss the IT Walmart currently uses and the ways in which Walmart would benefit by updating their systems. 3. The problem with Walmart’s current system is it is old and dated, making it harder and more time consuming to guide through. 4. Updating their current system will make it easier and more efficient to navigate through. 5. Initially this will cost a lot of money, since Walmart is such a large corporation. Over time, however, this will save the company many hours of labor. 6. This paper is directed to Walmart’s Home Office IT. Since the first Walmart store opened in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas, we've been dedicated to making a difference in the lives of our customers.

...The Birth of Eli It all started on a warm June morning. It was time to go to the hospital. Excitement was in the air. This was one of the happiest days of my life. This was the day I met my son for the first time. The time was 5:00 AM when we arrived at Huntsville Hospital. The pregnancy was a planned c-section. We walked onto the elevator and pressed the button for the baby floor. When we reached the nurses desk we did the paper work and were instructed to have a seat in the waiting room. Ten minutes after our arrival the process began. While they took my wife back to prepare for surgery, I put on the hair net and scrubs. Eventually the nurse came back to direct me toward the operating room. Because I was nervous, I did not enter into the operating room right away. Since I was afraid of what was on the other side of the door I waited in the hallway. I calmed myself as much as I could; then, I stepped into the room. I knew once I walked through that door my life would never be the same. As I watched the doctors pull my son from his mother, the tears started falling from my face; I could barely see, for a moment. I followed him to the table where he was wiped off and checked for abnormalities. The nurse looked at me said, “Congratulations.’ His mother carried him for nine months and three weeks, and now he was finally here. He weighed seven pounds six ounces and was nineteen inches in length. When my eyes hit his angelic tiny body, they froze and I could...

...years of age, joined the auditing firm of Androids 20 years ago and earned a salary of USD 700,000 per annum. He was the Androids’ partner in charge of auditing Enronaa’s accounts since 1987 – his job was to check Enronaa’s accounts and to make sure that they fairly represent the state of the business. Androids had been Enronaa’s auditor for the past 16 years. On the morning of October 23, David and his auditing team listened in on a call between stock analysts and Enronaa’s executives, who were trying to explain the company’s financial free fall. There were too many unanswered questions. After lunch, David called the entire Enronaa team together in Conference Room 37C1. His heart beat faster as he thought about the net that was closing in on Androids. As his eyes wandered around the room, on one of the conference room walls was an imposing picture of Arthur Androids. David was particularly proud of the long and distinguished history of the firm. His mind wandered as if to witness how in 1913, Arthur and Clarence, both from the audit firm of Price, bought out a small audit firm in Illinois to form Arthur, Clarence & Co., which became Androids & Co. in 1918. Androids, who headed the firm until his death in 1945, was a zealous supporter of high standards in the accounting industry. A stickler for honesty, he argued that accountants’ responsibility was to investors, not their clients’ management. During the early years, it was reputed that Androids was approached by an executive...

...The Differences in Competency between ADN and BSN level in nursing There are three different education approaches to becoming an RN. In each course of study, the student is eligible to take the NCLEX exam to become an RN. The NCLEX tests for the minimum technical competency for safe entry into basic nursing practice. The associate degree of nursing is a two year program offered at a community college, a diploma program is attained at a hospital and is a three year program, and the Baccalaureate of Science Nursing degree is achieved at the university in 4 years. In this paper, I will compare the competency levels between Associate Degree/Diploma Nursing and Baccalaureate of Science of Nursing. Nursing education began in the 1800’s in a hospital in Germany. Florence Nightingale, who is the founder of contemporary nursing, gained a small amount of formal training there. The Associate Degree of nursing program began in 1951 when Mildred Montag, a nurse educator, proposed a new 2 year associate degree program, to be taught at community colleges for entry level nurse technicians. It was created to produce a large number nurses in a short period of time. The ADN focuses on more of the technical aspects of nursing which include caring for patients, critical thinking skills while being clinically competent. These skills are utilized using ethical decisions and following professional standards set forth by the Board of Nursing. The Bachelor of Science degree in nursing focuses...

...JetBlue: Stuck in the Middle? Let me start by acknowledging that, as a customer, I love JetBlue. Their service stands out in an industry known for, quite frankly, a pretty awful customer experience. Having said that, I've always worried that they run the risk of being "stuck in the middle" in terms of their strategic position. They are not a low cost player in the industry, but on the other hand, they cannot command a premium price either as a truly differentiated player. Now the Wall Street Journal reports that CEO Dave Barger is under fire, as financial performance has been subpar. The paper notes, "Meanwhile, excluding fuel and profit-sharing, unit cost—the cost to fly a seat a mile—rose by 6.3%, and labor expenses were up about 15% on a unit-cost basis, the biggest jump ever year over year." What's the diagnosis in this article? Wall Street Journal writer Susan Carey explains, "But many analysts and investors believe that JetBlue is marooned in an industry middle ground, between much larger, full-service carriers like Delta Air Lines Inc. that are improving their service and profitability, and successful ultra-discounters like Spirit Airlines Inc. that go after passengers who don't want perks—just rock-bottom fares. JetBlue has been profitable since 2009, but only marginally so and it often disappoints on quarterly profits." That sure sounds like a company stuck in the middle, doesn't it? Is JetBlue stuck in the middle? In other words, are they stuck in...
