...Shala Ingram Case Study I. Synopsis of the prevailing situation On September 9, 2013 at 5.30 p.m. Martin Healthcare received a patient intake of an individual who had been referred through Cane Creek Hospital for Rehabilitation. After reviewing the patients’ medical charts, the patient had histories of falling and fractured hip because of having the diagnosis fibromyalgia, and arthritis. During our initial meeting, patients are asked about discharge planning. This patient stated that she would like to go home once she is well, but didn’t have a home to return to because of personal reasoning’s and asked if it was possible to be a resident at Martin Healthcare long term. Due to the change of requirements to stay in skilled nursing facility; the patient did not score high enough to stay long term. Therefore our focus changed to not only making sure the patient was well enough to return home, but to find a home for the patient reside. II. Presenting problems of highest priority Throughout the period of time, the resident began to get better and better, which showed that therapy was really working. Therefore we knew that the PAE would be denied. We started focusing on the highest priority which was finding a place for the patient to live. This was a difficult issue, because the patient didn’t have much income to help and she didn’t have a support group such as family and close friends. III. Statement of immediate/short-term goals The immediate/short-term goals that were given...

...Jennifer Trent EDU 335 Early Childhood Development Shala Cox November 1, 2015 Transcription of Data On October 27, 2015 I observed a four year old Pre-K class at Building Blocks Early Education Center. The class ratio is 1 teacher to 13 students. The class currently has a total of 15 students. One of the students currently has an IEP which is an individualized educational plan. I observed the class for 2 ½ hours. During the time in which I observed the class participated in breakfast, free play, circle time, and bathroom transitions. For breakfast the children sit together to eat. The children pour their own milk. Big A is a student that has an IEP; the child receives assistance from an ABA therapist. The therapist works with the child to pour milk. He becomes frustrated and gets up from the table. The therapist encourages the child to come back to the table and try again. After breakfast the students are instructed to wash their hands and go to the library carpet in preparation for circle time. As circle time begins there is one student Little C that refuses to sit on her spot. The teacher asks would she like to sit at the writing center and write. The child refuses and begins to disrupt the circle time. The teacher then asks the child to go to the wheel of choices which is a wheel that gives the children choices. The choices on the wheel are choices that students will do instead of the behavior that is being disruptive. The class also has a feelings wheel...

...executive functioning as well as cognitive development” in their children (Shala & Grajcevci, 2016). Low SES children develop at a slower pace and endure more challenges acquiring new skills than do high SES children. According to Bergen, Zuijen, Bishop & Jong, high SES “children inherit from their parents both a genetic tendency for a certain reading level and the home environment they are exposed to” (2016). Based on the SES of the parents, some children may be more likely to develop certain skills. Also, the type of home environment influences the child’s likelihood of acquiring specific skills. Bergen et. al also concludes from their research that “children’s initial reading competency is correlated with the home literacy environment, number of books owned, and parent distress” (2016). Home environment plays a pivotal role in the development of children. If a child experiences stress at home related to the financial burdens of the family it can have a significant impact on how the child acts, behaves, and learns at home and at school. It can also create a tense relationship between the parents and children. Altogether, one must keep in mind that "the effect of socioeconomic factors depends on parents’ monetary and other capacities not related to financial resources, and the final important implication is the education of the parent [also] influences the behavior of parents and parenting approaches" (Shala & Grajcevci, 2016). Discussion From researching this topic, I have found...

...S Jain, Ravindra H Dholakia This article argues that even an allocation of 6% of the gross domestic product to the education budget would not be sufficient to fund universal school education until the very distant future if the government school system is used as the only instrument. The only way to meet the Right to Education obligation is to rely on low cost private schools as a significant instrument of the government education policy. On the contrary, the proposed rte bill introduces provisions that would oppose low cost private schools. Therefore, the legislation for rte needs to be modified and framed with specific provisions for private-public partnerships. Pankaj S Jain ( pjain2002@yahoo.com) is at Gyan Shala, Ahmedabad and Ravindra H Dholakia (rdholkia@iimahd.ernet.in) is with the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. 38 T he Directive Principles of Indian Constitution obligates the Indian government to ensure universal school education. In the wake of various official committees and policy pronouncements in this regard, the Indian government has decided to submit a Right to Education (RTE) bill for parliamentary approval, which shall make it a right of each child to receive school education during 6-14-year age. The draft of this bill that implicitly mandates reliance on government type of school system as the major vehicle for RTE implementation has been approved by the cabinet. The present article analyses budgetary...

...RISKU I NDRYSHIMEVE TË SHPESHTA FISKALE PËR BIZNESET DHE INVESTIMET E HUAJA Ardit Ceka, Kejda Dervishllari, Megi MIllona, Abstrakt Politikat fiskale janë përcaktuese të rëndësishme të zhvillimeve ekonomike. Por këto politika po shoqërohen gjithnjë e më shumë me problematikën e ndryshimit të shpeshtë të tyre. Nderkohë që, investimet e huaja direkte (IHD) konsiderohen të kenë luajtur një rol shumë të rëndësishëm në rindërtimin e ekonomisë së Shqipërisë gjatë tranzicionit dhe jo vetëm. Për këtë arsye, bazuar në të dhënat primare të siguruara nëpërmjet pyetësorëve dhe analizimit të tyre, mundohemi të japim përgjigje sa më të qarta në lidhje me korrelimin dhe marrëdhënien e ndryshimit të politikave fiskale me IDH. Rezultati që konkludojmë nëpërmjet këtij studimi, është korrelimi pozitiv i riskut të shpeshtësisë së ndryshimit të politikës fiskale me IDH në Shqipëri.

...NAAC The NATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND ACCREDITATION COUNCIL (NAAC) is an autonomous body established by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India to assess and accredit institutions of higher education in the country. It is an outcome of the recommendations of the National Policy in Education (1986) that laid special emphasis on upholding the quality of higher education in India. The system of higher education in India has expanded rapidly during the last fifty years. In spite of the built-in regulatory mechanisms that ensure satisfactory levels of quality in the functioning of higher education institutions, there have been criticisms that the country has permitted the mushrooming of institutions of higher education with fancy programme and substandard facilities and consequent dilution of standards.To address the issues of deterioration in quality, the National Policy on Education (1986) and the Plan of Action (POA-1992) that spelt out the strategic plans for the policies, advocated the establishment of an independent national accreditation body. Consequently, the NAAC was established in 1994 with its headquarters at Bangalore. Governance The NAAC functions through its General Council (GC) and Executive Committee (EC) where educational administrators, policy makers and senior academicians from a cross-section of the system of higher education are represented. The Chairperson of the UGC is the President of the GC of the NAAC, the Chairperson of the EC is an eminent academician...

I understand that failure to attribute material which is obtained from another source may be considered as plagiarism. (Signature of student) Abstract Cloud computing is a breakthrough innovation in information technology industry. It brings new efficiencies and advantages to business. There is much hype about environmental impacts of cloud computing on green issues. Some favour of cloud computing as solution to green issues while others blame cloud computing as burden to environmental problems. Cloud computing, nevertheless, like other technology, is neutral. It can be either cause or solution to environmental issues. There is growing pressure on cloud computing industry to reduce the environmental impacts of their data centres. The current trend focuses on developing green cloud computing. However, the evaluation of solutions to green cloud computing bases on certain standards, metrics and benchmarks, which assess only parts of the environmental issues with cloud computing. This report will concentrate on green issues with cloud computing. Significant positive and negative impacts of cloud computing on the environment issues will be investigated. Next, a classification of green issues...
