Again, there is the primary source of the change or the staying unchanged : for example, the man who has deliberated is a cuse, the father is a cause of the child, and in general that which makes something of that which is made, and which changes something of that which something is changed. And again, a thing may be a cause as the end. That is what something is for, as health might be what a walk is for. On account of what does he walk? We answer “To keep fit” and think that, in saying that, we have given the cause. Suppose one man thought that there are plans because there are leaves, roots, and stems; another that there are leaves, roots and stems because there are plants; a third that there are plants because there are seeds. Aristotle would say that there is no real dipute here, since each party is bringing forward a factor which is explanatory in a different way. The leaves, root, and stem account for the plant in the way in which bronze accounts for a statue, the plant accounts for the leaves, roots, and stem...

...Root Cause Analysis Healthcare facilities that are Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) accredited are required to implement root cause analysis as part of their obligation. The root cause analysis team strives to assess and improve patient outcomes as specific situations occur by forming a team of experts that were involved in the situation. Cases are reviewed and processes are implemented to correct the errors that took place. Four key questions are asked, what happened, why did it happen, what can be changed to prevent it from happening again and how are we going to evaluate the change. This process takes place soon after the event so details are not forgotten. The professionals involved in the root cause analysis would take on roles. The team leader would be a representative from risk management. The nursing supervisor that was working on the day of the event would be the recorder. The team members would include the manager of the emergency department, the RN, LPN, and physician involved with the patient from the emergency department. The advisor would be the chief nursing officer or another member of the executive staff. The first thing is to review the many causative factors that were in place on this particular day. There was inadequate staffing for the emergency department for the number and high acuity of patients that were being treated. There was a hospital protocol for conscious sedation that was not followed. The nurse...

...Root Causes of Environmental Issues Holly Regan SCI/275 July 27, 2014 Stacy Murphy Root Causes of Environmental Issues The failure to address the root causes has led to most of the environmental unsustainability issues we have today. Harich (2012), asks, “Does environmental sustainability fall into the class of problems that are inherently insolvable?” I agree with the views that reflect the majority rule in the sense of not addressing the root causes as they present themselves to be among the major contributors for unsustainability in our environment and the destruction of our planet. Some conclude that a small parcel of land removed of trees is harmless, but, in fact, the failure to manage and restore ecosystems properly over the last several decades has brought us to where we are today. The point, all too often ignored, is this trend is being driven in large part by a combination of population growth and increasing per capita consumption, and it cannot long be continued without risking a collapse of our now-global civilization, (Erhlich, 2008). I do not agree with Frontierism. The blatant ignorance of destruction to the environment and surrounding ecosystems is ridiculous. Frontierism affects environmental sustainability by creating disruption within the ecosystem by removing what has taken thousands of years to produce and interrupts the balance within the surrounding environment for renewable resources. According to our text, “lacking an understanding of...

Cause marketing is simply cooperation between for-profit business and non-profit organization for mutual benefit. Adkins (1999) also believes that “Cause Related Marketing as ‘a commercial activities by which a business with a product, service or image to market builds a relationship with a cause or a number of causes for mutual benefit’”. In other words, the relationship will be form when both parties have contributed and had certain benefits mutually.

...the case of Mr. Margrieter V. New Hotel Monteleone, Inc are Duty, breach, cause in effect, proximal cause and harm (damage suffered as a proximal result of the defendant’s breach of duty). Duty refers to an obligation one has to another party. If duty “constrains and channels behavior in a socially responsible way” (Owen, 2007), then the Hotel Menteloene has a duty to take reasonable measures to protect its guests from harm. Breach, an improper act or omission, can also be viewed as an element that exists in this case. The hotel did not provide adequate security, as it did not replace the security personnel that had called in sick. It is particularly a breach if the hotel has determined that security is necessary to protect the property and its guests. It provided one employee to monitor the rear door, but the employee is not reported to have experience in security. Evidence of lack of security at exits and entrances, As well as lack of camera security monitoring and alarms are all actions that created a situation in which Mr. Margrieter could be abducted without notice, as could any other guest. Cause in Fact refers to the direct cause of one party’s action leading to the harm of another. If the lack of adequate security has led to Mr. Margrieter’s injuries, then cause in fact can be shown. Two men unlocked his hotel room door with a key. If this is the case, then cause in fact does exist. It would be difficult for the hotel to explain how two...

...has collided and had to be took to the emergency. Based on article 2:102 (2) of European Principle of Tort Law, a bodily integrity enjoys the most extensive protection. If no serious hurt had been seen, we can assume that it exists a little traumatism or maybe a light physical damage and therefore this is a bodily damage. A damage exists, so the victim, Peter, doesn’t have to prove a fault, according to the strict liability principle. We need to identify the fact. By driving too fast, with the flashing lights, with the bell sounding, the fireman put a pressure on Peter who panicked and by trying to make room for the fireman, he collided with a lamp post. Are the fact and the damage in relation ? To identify the factual causes, we utilize the “but for test” (condition sine qua non – article 3:101 of EPTL) : it shows that because of this event, the damage occurs. A contrario, without this event the damage would have not occurred. Would Peter have collided a lamp post if he would have not been under pressure of the fireman speed? According to the facts, there were lights flashing, bell sounding, Peter was followed by a fire...

...three men, searched their outer garments under the suspicion of criminal intent, and found a pistol on Terry and another on Chilton. Terry’s defense argued the gun found on Terry was inadmissible in court as evidence, stating that his 4th Amendment right to protection from unreasonable search and seizures was violated. The court denied the defendants' motion on the ground that Officer McFadden, on the basis of his experience, "had reasonable cause to believe . . . that the defendants were conducting themselves suspiciously, and some interrogation should be made of their action." Purely for his own protection, the court held, the officer had the right to pat down the outer clothing of these men, who he had reasonable cause to believe might be armed. The Supreme Court of Ohio dismissed their appeal on the ground that no “substantial constitutional question” was involved (Kemp, David. (2012). Terry v. Ohio 392 U.S. 1 (1968). U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Douglas strongly disagreed with permitting a stop and search without probable cause, stating “I agree that petitioner was "seized" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. I also agree that frisking petitioner and his companions for guns was a "search." But it is a mystery how that "search" and that...

...You are a Police Officer. The task at hand was to read and interpret three different scenarios. Then write about how I would react to the situation if I was the officer on the scene. I have to determine if I would have probable cause, reasonable suspicion, and whether or not I would pursue the suspect or suspects involved in the scenario. I have thoroughly read and analyzed each scenario, and have come to a decision for each situation. In Scenario one a juvenile is spotted walking near a sports warehouse building that is being watched due to it being burglarized several times over the past six months. The juvenile is wearing a heavy luxury sports coat, and also has a pair of new sneakers on. As the officer on the scene I would determine that there was not sufficient probable cause to stop and pursue the individual. There is reasonable suspicion being presented in this situation, the juvenile is wearing expensive and new sports gear that could have very well come from the sports warehouse. Although I do not believe this is enough to stop the juvenile. The farthest I would go in pursuing the individual would be to tail him looking for any suspicious activity to further pursue him. In the event his actions provided sufficient probable cause I would calmly stop the juvenile and question him on what he was doing in the area. I would make a decision to arrest him or not based on his answers and my own personal observation. Scenario two presents a situation in which a...

At the Trial Court level the Carr’s failed to provide expert testimony as a link between the chemical spill and the physical symptoms the Carr’s had experienced . The Suit: The trial court granted a no-evidence summary judgment in favor of the Appellee, Union Pacific Rail Road.
