Needs Assessment and Rationale Falls are a serious public health issue in the United States because it is the main cause of trauma-related incidents and injury-related emergency cases, and the leading cause of unexpected deaths among the elderly. People aged 65 and above comprise the majority of casualties from falls (Al-Faisal, 2006). The prevalence of falls rises continuously with age irrespective of gender and racial/ethnic affiliation. As reported by Stevens and colleagues (2010), “each year, about one-third of all older adults fall. In 2007, an estimated 1.9 million fall injuries among persons aged 65 years and older were treated ...

Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

Introduction

Japan is reported to have the world’s third largest economy, which gives it an essential role in the global community. This calls for the need to understand the Japanese people’s self-concept and how they hold themselves up as individuals and as members of the society. It has been widely established that self-concept is far from being a static perception, rather it is a changeable system which is generally a result of an individual’s social relationships. It is observed that people normally hold a different perception of themselves as individuals, and as a social group member. Consequently, ...

Question 1: Statistical strategy

The strategy here is to analyze the distribution or variation of the data instead of focusing on the measures of central tendency. Measures of central tendency can be misleading especially where the distribution is asymmetrical (Graham 38-80). In this case, the median life expectancy of eight months does not necessarily mean a cancer patient dies within eight months.

Question 2: Shape of the distribution

The available literature shows that cancer patients have a median mortality of eight months. The distribution of the life expectancy of cancer patients is not normally distributed. The data is positively skewed. Half of the cancer patients live more than eight ...

However, it is still interesting to take a closer look at influences Chinese culture and representational conventions produce on Japanese art in relation to a certain period of time and certain variety of ...

Carl Rogers: Self-Actualization Theory

Self-actualization theory is built to determine the conditions under which an individual can develop his or her potentialities. The primary principle of the theory is the actualizing tendency that is a single force of life (Ivtzan et al., 2013). Actualizing tendency refers to the inbuilt motivations that are found in every human being and can develop to the fullest extent possible. Carl also argued that individuals work hard towards achieving the fullest of their existence. An individual can grow and improve life if only they are provided with a conducive environment for self-development. The conducive environment may contain elements ...

Volatile Prices of Primary Goods Preventing Economic Development in LDCs

Background The primary goods refer to the products that are obtained directly from agricultural activities and are not subjected to the process of manufacturing. The most important primary products in an economy include those that are obtained from the sector, such as the fishing, agricultural, forestry, and mining industries. In terms of the least developed nations, which are mainly located in Africa, Asia, and the Latin America, the trade characteristics of their economies include the dependence on the developed, industrialized nations, and, significantly, the reliance on primary products. Accordingly, in international trade, the least developed nations’ exports are primary ...

As a part of a certain national culture, there is a single value, which is seen in most of the members. This specific value is considered as the one responsible for the overall behavior of the members of this society, both in individual and collective ways (“Analyzing Cultural Value Dimensions” 2). This value might originate either from the past, or through the formation of societal standards, which specifically imposed to the members (“Analyzing Cultural Value Dimensions” 1). For example, a culture has a high value for respecting the elderly; most of the members tend to follow this certain standard. ...

Introduction

Change is a process that impacts all organizations. As observed by management expert, Kurt Lewin, “group life is never without change, merely differences in the amount and type of change exist” (Burnes, 2004, p. 981). Most change initiatives, however, fails because of the tendency of people to resist change. People, according to management experts, fear change and so they tend to revert back to old ideas and practices even if the change is for the better. This tendency of the individuals to resist change affects the organization as a whole. Also, the longer the ...

Three phase induction motors

Introduction The three-phase induction machine is the most widely used among the rotating machines. An induction machine offers an almost constant speed within its normal operating range when operated off a constant-voltage, constant-frequency, and with the electric power source. The cost of purchasing these machines is very low, and they require little maintenance. However, speed control is difficult and very expensive. Therefore, the rotor current of the three phase induction motors is not induced by electrical connections, but rather the rotation of magnetic field.

Learning is a cycle that starts from what one already knows, going toward other aspects that needs further understanding and knowledge expansion. Further, I realized that constant learning is important in many aspects of life, and especially so one needs to make critical decisions. A person should not ...

Federalism in the United States has evolved over the past 200 years from an arrangement where state and national government powers and responsibilities were clearly distinct and separate, to one in which the line of distinction between the two has blurred. When the framers drafted the Constitution, they provided separate powers to the federal government in Article One. A few of these clauses extended the power of the national government in order to prevent the hazards faced by the Articles of Confederation. In order to ensure that limitations still existed on the federal government, the Tenth Amendment was included. ...

The same can be said of the tendency by most companies to set ...

Abstract

A complete and thorough health assessment can help in the correct diagnosis (Dingman, 1941). According to a famous saying “A case well taken is half solved”. A well taken case should include complete description of the patient’s mental, physical and social well being. Mere jotting down of physical signs and symptoms may not give the true picture of a disease. As every patient is a different individual, thorough case taking is required in order to establish the individuality of the patient. Many features of the patients may have a role to play in his or her health, therefore, ...

Introduction: All most all metals are unstable when exposed to air. This is because of the tendency of the metal to be converted into its oxidized form on reaction with air. When compared to zinc, iron has a greater tendency to form oxidized form and thus has greater susceptibility to corrosion. The ability of metals to react with air varies and this determines their relative stability. As zinc is much stable when compared to iron, it is used to galvanizing iron pipe, thus preventing contact of iron with air and water that contains dissolved air. Brass is an alloy ...

Since the beginning of time people used to have various views and standards for the way that everything around them should be. Throughout the history there existed many examples of the expression of ideas contradictory to the norm and all terrible consequences of such actions. Thomas Kuhn in his book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, made an attempt to describe the possible apprehension to change. It was mainly focused on the scientific world and the historic nature of the educational research. Any research was considered to be grounded upon one or more scientific achievements that had to be certainly ...

Statement of purpose

Recent polls have shown that the candidate is lagging behind in the current general election campaigns. The reason for this could be the failure to connect and resonate with the younger demographic that is, between the age of eighteen and twenty four years (American Press Institute 1; Cohen 1). Compared to other demographics, traditional campaigning methods do no work with this group. It is, therefore, important, to evaluate how this demographic communicates and receives news in order to adjust the campaigning methods to reach this group. Given that this demographic form the bulk of the voters as well as ...
