However, the exact number of the alcohol abusers is very difficult to determine because people tend not to share this information. Thus, the numbers among civilians are very rough as ...

Phillippe Aries' book, Western Attitudes Towards Death from the Middle Ages to the Present, highlights a comprehensive chronology of death as considered by Westerners. While they ...

Some of the models are no longer in use in nursing practice, but they have made a significant contribution to the current models. Also, some of the models have maintained their main characteristics, but have been adapted to fit the modern demands of healthcare. ...

Even though many people emphasize the more rational elements of the human experience, there has been an increase lately to put people’s emotional side in the forefront. In this sense, psychologists have started employing the term emotional intelligence to emphasize the fact that the management of sentiments and relationships is as important as logical reasoning. This is especially important for a leader, as one could even argue that an important portion of one’s leadership skills depend on one’s emotional intelligence. Therefore, organizations should be aware of this variable in order to better manage their human resources, ...
