Give examples * What is a cognitive disability? Give examples (200 words) Define and describe the different types of disabilities, signs and symptoms, cause of the additional need and why they have an additional need – e.g. Down’s syndrome; cystic fibrosis, autistic spectrum, people with mental health problems, asthma, multiple sclerosis, paraplegia ( 1000 words) For example Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) & (ADD) are conditions which result in problem behaviour and poor attention span. Children find it hard to control their behaviour. They might be impulsive, restless and inattentive. Children can have problems learning and socialising. The causes of ADHD are not clear. Possible causes are thought to be brain injury, chemical imbalance in the brain, genetic links, environmental factors and a possible link to diet. Some of these...

...I have gathered a list of what will cause the project to have delays or have failures within the course of the project. There are listed below in bold writing in order to keep track of the risk that will cause a delay to the project. 1.) Delay of any additional supplies to build the store- This will put a big delay on the timing of the building being completed on time. 2.) Weather- Although we live in a state that does not rain so much, we are entering the time in which we will experience heavy rain for few days. 3.) Delay on the License Agreements- We may not being able to have the license in order to continue the construction of the project as well as the installation of the appliances. 4.) Staff- We is a company with 20 + workers, however having men sick or on leave will cause a delay on meeting the deadlines. Causing more men to work overtime in order to complete the deadlines of no more than two days. 5.) Electronic failure- If the electronic, such as the installation of the lights, be a delay if they are not installing proper. 6.) Software input- If the software for the registers does not run proper or it is the wrong update. 7.) Plumbing failure- If the plumbing for the bathroom and the water for the coffee shop are not put on right nor have a broken pile can cause a two day delay. 8.) Window installation – The glass windows must be delivered and be installing the same day. Not install will cause a one day delay, leaving the store sign...

...Root Cause Analysis: Root cause analysis (RCA) is used in different fields to conduct a systematic search to find the causes of a specific sentinel event (Jacob, 2010). The main goal for conducting a RCA is to prevent similar adverse events from happening in the future (Jacob, 2010). In this paper, I will use the scenario provided in the task to create a complete RCA report as well as improvement plans that will prevent similar incidents from happening again. RCA is best done as soon as an adverse event has happened (Jacob, 2010). The first step in the RCA is to identify what had happened (Jacob, 2010). In the scenario, Mr. B was admitted to the Emergency Room (ER) after a fall. During the treatment, Mr. B was given diazepam intravenous push (IVP) to relax his muscles for examination and hydromorphone IVP to decrease pain during the assessment. The first dose of both medications did not seem to achieve the sedation level that Dr. T had desired. Dr. T also realized that Mr. B had been routinely using oxycodone for chronic back pain. He then decided to administer another dose of the diazepam and hydromorphone. Mr. B was finally sedated enough for the manual manipulation needed during the examination; he tolerated the assessment without discomfort. Right after that, the ED receives an emergency call and Nurse J put Mr. B on an automatic blood pressure and oxygen saturation monitoring every five minutes before leaving the room. A few minutes later, Mr. B’s...

...offering discounts, allowances, and other incentives to promote their product, Intermec fell behind in the market. The CEO came up with six different options to regain their market share and increase their profits. After analyzing the six alternatives, as well as additional options, Intermec needs to start offering the same trade promotions to their channel members as one of their main competitors, Motorola, offers in order to regain their competitive position and increase their sales. Introduction Since 1966, Intermec has become a leading manufacturer of mobile computerized devices that are used in the Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) Industry. Some of the devices the firm designs include mobile computers, barcode scanners, wireless barcode printers, and radio frequency identification products and it also sells after-sales repair services. Intermec is known as an innovator and has introduced many technological breakthroughs since they opened. However, they have numerous patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. Intermec’s top competitor is Motorola and both of them offer the broadest product mixes out of the other competitors as well as provide the most complete solutions for customer needs. Intermec’s revenues were trending up over the last few years until 2009 when the firm ran into some problems. Revenues declined by 26% from 2008 to 2009,...

...Educating Special Needs Students Educating Special Needs Students Successful teaching, in general, calls for creativity, patience, flexibility, patience, expertise and a lot of patience. Successful teaching of special needs students magnifies the importance of these traits even more so. Mental retardation, autism, severe and even multiple disabilities, while posing additional impact and challenges on the education process for students, these issues are in no way insurmountable. Well thought out curriculum plans implemented through special policy, services, and programs are necessary to ensure that any student has every opportunity available to them for a successful education experience that will carry through beyond their student years. Mental retardation is descriptive of a disability that includes both intellectual as well as behavioral problems and until recently, was often used as a blanket statement to cover a wide variety, if not all, disabilities. In 2006, The American Association on Mental Retardation changed its name to The American Association of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAID, 2009) to reflect a change in this attitude. They state that “intellectual disability is one that is characterized by significant limits both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills (AAID, 2009). While a number of the causes of intellectual disabilities are still...

...they won. Simply put; the number of votes that the party receives determines the number of seats in parliament they achieve. Examples of a proportional electoral system included the Additional Member System as used in Wales and the Single Transferable Vote as used in the Republic of Ireland. There are however alternative systems that don’t use proportional representation – these include First Past the Post – a system which means the winner only needs 1 more vote than its closest rival – not an absolute majority and the Alternative Vote where if no candidate secures an absolute majority of first preferences, the lowest placed candidate is eliminated and the second preferences of his or her voters are transferred to the remaining candidates. The purpose of this essay is to discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of proportional electoral systems as well as systems that don’t use proportional representation to come to the conclusion as to whether Proportional electoral systems cause as many problems as they solve. One example of a proportional electoral system is the Additional Member System ; this is where the elector casts two votes – one for their favoured candidate in a single member constituency and one for their favoured party from a party list in a multi member constituency. Additional members are allocated on a corrective basis to ensure that the total number of seats for the party is proportional to the number of votes they won. Another example of a proportional...

Application service was restored and validated at 3:11pm. Root cause appears to be related to an increased latency causing performance issues with the Credit LEAD application. Reports indicate the application servers had sufficient memory and CPU to handle the database calls. Additionally, the database showed very quick response times. There was a report of increased response times (latency) from 2:40pm to 2:52pm. However, there is no...

...identify the ranges of values of these input data for which the current LP solution remains optimal. This is done without solving the problem again each time we need to examine a change in an input data’s value. When all model values are deterministic, that is, known with certainty, sensitivity analysis may not be needed from the perspective of evaluating data accuracy. This may be the case in a portfolio selection model in which we select from among a series of bonds whose returns and cash-in values are set for long periods of time. 4-2. Sensitivity analysis is important in all decision modeling techniques. For example, it is important in breakeven analysis to test the model’s sensitivity to selling price, fixed cost, and variable cost. Likewise, it is important in inventory models in which we tests the result’s sensitivity to changes in demand, lead time, costs, and so on. 4-3. A change in a resource’s availability (right-hand-side) changes the size of a feasible region. An increase means more units of that resource are available, causing the feasible region to increase in size. A decrease means fewer units are available. Obviously, if more units of a binding resource are available, it may be possible for the optimal objective value to improve. In contrast, if more units of a non-binding resource are available, the additional units would just contribute to more slack and there would be no improvement in the optimal...

...anything from the proprietor in order to create and start their sole proprietorship. There are filings which do need to be completed, but they are not required by the government. The taxation of a sole proprietorship is simple and straightforward. The profits of the company are considered the personal income of the proprietor. However, the proprietor may lose out on certain benefits associated with being taxed as a business. While a sole proprietorship, in some states, can be owned by more than one person, Betty and Betsy will need to aware of their actions so that the IRS and the state do not have a reason to imply a partnership, or other business form, due to their actions of holding themselves out as anything other than independent. (Unif. Partnership Act §202(c)(3). Should this occur, Betty and Betsy could be subject to business and tax requirements they had not anticipated. The disadvantages of a sole proprietorship are unlimited liability to the owner for the business debts and obligations (no liability shield), the difficulty in raising capital and very low liquidity in ownership of the business (if you sell a percentage of the company the business is no longer a sole proprietorship. Should the company remain small, the difficulty in raising capital will not cause a problem, but should the business grow and need to obtain more capital, the business may need to incorporate to satisfy the requirements for a bank loan. As to liquidity, a business that is a sole proprietorship...

...Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 (c. 10), also known as SENDA, is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It is intended as an adjunct to the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, which legislated to prevent the unfair treatment of individuals, in the provision of goods and services, unless justification could be proved. This legislation was deemed necessary as the previous Act did not encompass educational organisations. This was further replaced by the Disability Discrimination Act 2005. The act required schools, colleges, universities, adult education providers, statutory youth services and local education authorities to make 'reasonable provisions' to ensure people with disabilities or special needs were provided with the same opportunities as those who were not disabled. The Act stated that discrimination occurred when the educational establishment/body either fails to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate individuals with special needs or a disability, or when they give them less favourable treatment. Disabilities A disability is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. Impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations. Thus disability...

Options of Saturday working, increasing an additional floor or new facilities at USA are worked out rigorously and recommended to work on Saturdays (only in peak periods). Total Number of words used : 120 Situation Analysis: Shouldice is a private hospital founded by Dr. Earle Shouldice in Toronto in July 1945. The hospital started out as a six-room nursing home in downtown Toronto. Shouldice offers a new technique to cure the hernia, which is the protrusion of an organ through a weakness in the abdominal wall; this technique was invented by the founder during the World War II. This technique allows the patient to go back to their routine very quickly. Just after four hours of operation patients are encouraged to start walking around the place and feel more comfortable. The typical recurrence rate for the hernia approaches 10%, the gross recurrence rate for all operations performed at Shouldice was only 0.8%. The advantages of Shouldice method is enclosed in exhibit 1.This method proved to be a big success. As demand increased for hernia operations, Shouldice expanded the facilities from 36-beds to 89-beds in the mid 1960’s. The Problem: • The hospital is having a successful run but there is a huge backlog of 1200 patients needs to be operated. Because of an increasing...

...assembly plant a growing number of 1992 Camrys are sitting off-line with seat problems. The seats are supplied just-in-time by nearby Johnson Control's Automotive Systems (JCI) group. Following the launch of the 1992 Camry, a serious problem emerged at TMM's assembly plant. During the last few days about 45 seat problems have occurred each shift. Every car with a seat defect is supposed to be repaired before shipping it to the sales company, but in some cases it is taking days to effect the needed repairs. With sales approaching plant capacity, the seat problem needs to be solved quickly. This case presents an opportunity to understand the Toyota Production System approach to problem solving. 1. What is causing the "seat problem." A good place to start is defining the “start problem.” Then list the likely causes. Finally, organize those causes in the form of a “cause and effect” diagram (3 pts). The cause of Toyota Motors Manufacturing seat problem is that they have a sole source supplier for the production of their seats. Kentucky Framed Seat is responsible for the majority of the material issues as well as the missing parts. Kentucky Framed Seat had exceptional delivery performance when they were supplying lesser variations of seats to Toyota. However, their delivery performance and quality would began to take a serious hit that would impact Toyota’s production line. This began when Toyota began to introduce more variations in style and color of the seat for several...
