The purpose of this paper is to present a research proposal for nurse hand hygiene practices in a hospital setting. The paper will provide an introduction and literature review in order to identify gaps in the literature with respect to hand hygiene practice in hospitals. Finally, the paper will present a research project to address the issue. 1. Introduction The relationship between nosocomial infections and hand hygiene has long been understood and established with Larson’s publication in 1988. Although hand washing had been established as a cornerstone of nursing practice, by 2003 compliance in hand hygiene in hospitals ...

Biology

Abstract This is a practical report on human physiology EMG. The experiment recruited 85 subjects to examine the level of the signal emanating from muscle contraction in the lab. Some of the participants were left-handed while some were right handed. Males and females with varying levels of activity were recruited. The results indicated that more males exhibited maximal compression force than females as attested by the higher numbers that returned quickly to half the clench force. The level of activity of the participants positively correlated to slow return to half of the maximal compression force and reduced signs of ...

Introduction

In this paper, we will describe and discuss the application of statistics and probability theory to a real world problem. Our goal is to develop a research question, collect the appropriate data, and examine it by applying various statistical techniques. The topic of our research is body fat percentage. Most people consider weight as the most important indicator in assessing the state of their figure. However, it is not always correct to determine the effectiveness of the diet or intensity of physical activity, focusing only on the body mass index. There is another measurement, which is much more important: ...

The origin of simple machines is indefinite. Ancient people might have used the idea of a pulley when they lifted heavy objects by throwing crude ropes or vines over tree branches, or the first levers were probably logs used to move heavy objects. Notwithstanding their antiquities, simple machines are significant sources of ease and comfort for all people living until today’s generation.

Millions of people ride a bike or motorcycle everyday and almost everyone uses a switch to turn on the lights or need a simple handle to open a door. Generally, people use levers, pulleys, inclined planes, ...

Introduction

Daily activities performed by human beings is a certain way call for the use of force and energy in executing them. This energy is got from well feeding to ensure that the body muscles, joints, and bones stand up to the necessary task of undertaking a specific activity without much strain or getting tired without completion of the work or activity. Due to this, one must ensure that the body as a whole is fit to undergo the strain brought by the practise exercise to develop the muscles, bone, joints, and the body as a whole.

Principle of specificity is on of the ...

Fingerprint patterns are categorized into three main groups. These main patterns include loop pattern; whorl pattern; and arch pattern. Fingerprint patterns are used in forensic investigations of crimes. The fingerprint patterns are known to be unique to each individual; therefore, they help criminal investigators to identify criminals who are responsible for particular crimes (CSF, 2015). All individuals are required to submit their fingerprints to government authorities so that they can be used to identify them in future when need arises. Loop patterns have ridges that flow to one side, then loop around, and exit the fingerprint pattern from ...

Influence of Coffee on Exercise

Caffeine is a pharmacologically active substance that is consumed extensively around the world today. Various dietary sources of caffeine include coffee, tea, chocolate, carbonated drinks and energy beverages (Goldstein et al., “International society” 2010). Among these dietary sources, coffee is the most significant and widely consumed source of caffeine around the world in the present times. Statistics from North America and Europe show that around 90% of the adults consider themselves as regular coffee drinkers and their average caffeine intake adds up to approximately 200mg per day (Pesta et al., 2013).

Introduction

The integumentary system is made up of the skin together with other accessory structures including nails, hair, as well as glands. The four major functions that are done by the integumentary system include protection, production of vitamin D, sensation, and temperature regulation (Bailey). The integumentary system offers protection of the body against ultraviolet light and abrasion while preventing dehydration as a result of water loss and entry of pathogens into the body (Seeley, Stephens and Tate). The skin possesses numerous receptors that make it also function as a sensory organ. The receptors are usually referred to as free or encapsulated ...

In the studying how the human species evolved, a lot of astonishing discoveries, great public interest as well as a great level of controversy have always been involved. Since the early twentieth century the discovery of new hominid fossils has altered the widespread perceptions held concerning how our species evolved. Piltdown Man and Ramapithecus are examples of these new discoveries (Szpak, 2014). The objective of this discussion is to address Australopithecus with regard to migration and subsistence habits. With its first appearance being in Africa about 4.2 million years ago and later diversifying into various forms, australopithecines is a broad group ...

Introduction

Genetic and physical similarities demonstrate that modern human species that is, Homo sapiens has a close association to other primate species group called apes. Evidence has shown that humans and great apes of Africa that is, gorillas and chimpanzees including bonobos or pygmy chimpanzees share common ancestor, which lived sometime between 6 million and 8 million years ago. Bonobos are found in Central Africa. It is interesting to note that the two species vary morphologically. Bonobos are characterized by shorter upper limbs, less rugged builds, and longer lower limbs than the chimpanzees and sport a distinguishing coiffure (Lavenda and Schultz 2012, ...

Abstract—In this experiment, a hand dynamometer was used to measure the grip strength of a subject. The forearm muscles were engaged in an activity, and the grip recorded. The electromyogram (EMG) activity was related to the grip strength by making a graph of the maximum grip strength against area under the EMG activity’s absolute integral during the contraction of muscle. Data was recorded from the dominant and non-dominant forearms of the subject and the electrical activity of each forearm compared to its diameter. Prolonged grip strength was also recordings and forearm EMG activity made to determine fatigue rate in both ...

Movement of the forearm

Movements of various parts of the body is mainly controlled by the group of muscles located around the parts of the body and crossing the joints that hold the part of the body and these group of muscles are usually supplied by nerves that coordinate the activities of those muscles and the movements that tend to occur at such region. Depending on the types of movements that usually occur at the part of the body, the group of muscle around the region usually, function to move the body at an opposite direction. Those muscles are usually located to run ...
