In order to prevent the transmission of cryptosporidium to the public via public drinking water systems, various surveillance systems and regulations have been implemented hitherto, in order to increase the treatment of surface water supplies. Among these techniques is the molecular surveillance for the presences of cryptosporidium in water using PCR which resulted following the cryptosporidium outbreak in Milwaukee Wisconsin in 1993 (Johnson, et al., 1995). The outbreak resulted in effective systems being implemented to improve the quality of water treatment globally as Mac Kenzie, et al., (1994) observes.

MULTI-NATIONAL COMPANIES

There are some multi-national companies that are larger than entire national economies (Reilly 2016). When they enter some of these economies, they bring direct investment which creates jobs, open up new markets to the local economy, and bring technology and products that otherwise would have never existed. As a result, demand for an educated and skilled workforce increases, improving not only the standard of living of the local economy, but international relations as well (Reilly 2016). Finally, diversity brings the opportunity of learning about different cultures. A multi-cultural workforce offers some benefits to the multi-national company as well. ...

Fugitive Slave Act was a couple of federal legislations that allowed for the incarceration and return of runaway fugitives within the territory of the US. Initially, the Congress enacted the Fugitive Slave Act in 1793 that empowered the local governments to capture and return the slaves who have escaped from their owners and impose penalties to people who aided the escape of the slaves. The extensive resistance to the 1973 legislation later spurred the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850.The new law further complicated issues by imposing harsher punishments for the people who were interfering with the ...

“The land ethic,” which is found in the work of Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac, is a theoretical philosophical framework. In it, Leopold tries to confront the weaknesses which he say encompass common environmental conservation. Leopold, a trained forester, and hunter, cherished and recognized the benefits of nature (Leopold, 2014). Having lived through the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, he witnessed fertile top soil in southwestern Wisconsin blown away by the wind and eventually sip into the sea. These he observed were as a result of human activities and wondered how, despite the profit motives of man ...

The main reason of the beginning of the World War I was to pinpoint the differences between the leading countries such as: Britain, France, Russia, on the one hand and Germany, Austria-Hungary on the other.

The University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics- Magnet Hospital

Schneider Regional Medical Centre- Non-Magnet Hospital General Characteristics of a Good Organizational Chart Reporting structure of the organizations: In the two charts, reporting structures are generally clear and well elaborated to provide efficient flows of information. It is possible that both charts have clear lines of authorities with hierarchies for positions and their responsibilities. However, the organization chart of the magnet hospital of the University of Wisconsin (UW) elaborates well the issue of horizontal communication: apparently, there is a substantial deal of horizontal communications between and among directors of nursing services (Lundmark, 2014). Delegation of authorities: Both structures also ...

A lease is a contract between the lessor and lessee. In this case, Larry Landlord is the lessor and Roger Renter is the lessee. Under the lease agreement, both parties have respective rights, obligations, and duties. The lease agreement at issue is a residential lease. The old common law rule provided that lessees assumed the property “as is” and that the lessor made no promises or guarantees as to the condition of the property (Dukeminier, et al., 2010, p. 482). This common law approach proved problematic because it both discouraged landlords from making repairs while the tenant was in ...

Abstract

In the case of United States v. Knight, the Supreme Court had to resolve the constitutional question of whether a warrantless search, executed on the basis of a reasonable suspicion and stipulated as a condition of probation violated the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures. In order to answer this question, the Court had to determine whether, for purposes of the Fourth Amendment, the constitutionality of searches authorized as a condition of probation must have a “probationary purpose.” Ultimately, the Court held that a warrantless search, sustained on the basis of reasonable suspicion and authorized as ...

Introduction Slavery is an age-old practice that has existed in many forms among different human societies. In fact, as early as 3,000 to 2,000 B.C., in the primeval civilization of Mesopotamia, slavery, in its various forms has already been observed (Perbi 1). For many years, the institution of slavery has existed in many places around the globe, but it made the biggest impression in the continent of Africa where slavery took its greatest toll.

The Dred Scott case was a very important case. It involved a man who wanted nothing more to be free from his master. He had no problem staying with his master Emerson while they were North, but as an army doctor, Emerson moved to wherever he was assigned, the new assignment would return them to the South. Dred Scott did not want to return there. They resided in Illinois a free state and Wisconsin a territory that was leaning towards being a free state. The ruling in the case would be devastating for the Anti-Slavery movement. This case divided ...

Most states have no statutes that specifically forbid the use of corporal punishment. Other states, however, prohibit corporal punishment in detention facilities by the statue. The use of corporal punishment to reinforce prison ...

More than 200 years ago, Thomas Jefferson pointed out that education is the key to “prepar[ing] citizens to participate effectively and intelligently in our open political system if we are to preserve freedom and independence” (Wisconsin v. Yoder 221). Today, all children are entitled to a free public education, regardless of race, religion, color, or creed. While education is not considered a fundamental constitutional right, most states have statutes guaranteeing to every child access to an education. The benefits of an education are undeniable, and few persons will have any chance at success without attaining at least a ...

I. Introduction Food safety is increasingly important as businesses expand into new realms of food production: many companies are processing more food than ever before, and there is an increasing risk of cross-contamination and other problems that are sometimes associated with food handling (Fone, 2007).

One of the most significant problems for many large-scale food service organizations is the problem of ...

Abstract

Culture in the United States is a product of three separate factors which are socio-economic status, family dynamics, and level of education. Socioeconomic status is the position of an individual’s economic and social position in relation to others, on a hierarchal scale that is determined by measurements of such factors as educational level, income, occupation, place of residence, or a composite of these dimensions. Socio- economic status is often used a predictor and indicator for a variety of positive and negative health and social outcomes, and is often used as a benchmark for investigating social or health inequalities. Socioeconomic status is interrelated to family ...

The American healthcare system is the most expensive in the world as indicated by mirror reports in 2010, 2007, 2006, and 2004 (Davis, Stremikis, Squires & Schoen, 2014, p. 7). According to Bhattacharya & Hyde, (2013, p. 251), by 1960, America’s expenditure on healthcare was low to an extent that it could only spend a twentieth of her Gross Domestic Product on healthcare costs. The U.S. ranks the first in term of cost related problems since the price elasticity of healthcare services in America is relatively elastic. Considering that many people are price sensitive, they opt for alternative care other than ...

Amongst mentally ill patients at high risk for early readmission, does the utilization of a multi-component transition care plan as compared to usual care help to improve early readmission rates?

Abstract

The early hospital readmission rate in a 30-bed psychiatric unit in California is 25%. This figure is higher than the 13% reported in the literature for high-income countries like the US (Vigod et al., 2013). Early readmissions are problematic as they are costly and disruptive to the personal and professional lives of patients and their family members. In addition, they are construed to be negative patient outcomes and negative indicators of ...

Documentary film is one of the most difficult genres of cinematography, firstly, because of its structure as well as due to the large number of approaches to the implementation of the idea.
